Anarchy, page 37
I was supposed to share.
I knew that.
That’s what we’d talked about. A deeper, more natural part of my instincts even wanted that. I could feel my whole pack in the bond, but something more raw, more recent was strangling that part of me to death.
I hadn’t relaxed until there were no alphas in the nest, their scents fading beside her, their presence no longer a threat to my claim.
She was here. My mate.
She was all I needed… I thought.
And I hadn’t felt this connected to her since…
I flinched.
The vision of Holden pinning her to the wall flashed in my mind. It was hard to get rid of it. It was like I was tied together by those moments in which my aura was out. First it was Edward trying to bite me—the dweller pack who thought they could lay claim to a sigma.
I was struggling. Helpless. Fucking useless as my freedom was about to be ripped away.
But she was here, and I was free...
Mine...
My omega. My scent match.
“Sin,” Crescent whined my name, her legs wrapped around my waist.
She was spread out beneath me, her hair a halo of pale moonlight around her head. Stripped bare, I could only stare at her, my cock teasing at her slick entrance.
This nest smelled so sweetly of her velvet rose and cocoa, and I buried my nose against the base of her throat, wanting nothing more than to be coated from head to toe in it.
“Mine,” I growled, teeth grazing across her skin.
“Yours,” she promised.
Her heels dug in to pull me closer, and I couldn’t resist anymore. My cock slammed into her in one long stroke, and I groaned.
CRESCENT
Sin was so beautiful in heat.
I didn’t have to beg for him to stay close; he kept his lips against my skin, teeth grazing, teasing me with the thought of another one of his claiming bite marks—though the last one hadn’t faded.
I knew now, it never would.
The passion of him slamming into me made my body hot all over, and I couldn’t help my excitement.
Finally, my heat was coming—even if he’d beaten me to it.
I wasn’t gone yet, not like him, but I felt it. That itch beneath my skin—and this time, I had no reason to dread it.
Not with my alphas in the other room and Sin above me, sending zings of pleasure down to my toes with each thrust.
He needed a little work, of course, if we were going to let our alphas in, but I was ready. The others had walked me through what to do.
He was feral and possessive, but there was another side to it.
I could feel it in the bond, like a shifting creature. One moment enraptured—the next, when he heard a noise from another part of our home, he became something twisted and frightened.
He’d fought for so long, I don’t think he’d ever slowed down. Ever processed his pain, and now it was hard for him not to become the beast he’d needed to be in Anarchy.
I held him as he claimed me, knowing that he needed this. Needed me. I was his balance, like my alphas balanced me.
When he spilled inside of me, his release made my thoughts hazy. His cum had stimulating effects, heightening everything. My hands grabbed desperately at his arms as I arched and cried, orgasms tearing through me in waves, bringing me closer to the edge of my own heat.
He didn’t pull back even when my body went limp. Sin stayed inside me, and I blinked up at him through my lashes.
So gorgeous.
Mine.
And I could stay this close to him forever, but I tried to squirm away when I thought his grip had softened.
Vandle, Phantom, and Karma hadn’t come yet. I could feel them in the bond, yearning to, but they knew we needed to wait until he was ready.
It wasn’t just that I wanted my alphas because they had knots my body was craving. I wanted... them all here. With us both—me and Sin.
I wanted our pack to be whole.
Sin wouldn’t free me, though, and I didn’t want to fight him.
Finally, one of the others knocked on the door. Sin spun, a growl in his throat. It was Karma, stepping in with a tray with a jug of water, looking hopeful.
I had to wrap my arms around Sin, sinking my teeth into his shoulder to get him to settle back.
He wasn’t... here at that moment, not really.
As if Karma was an enemy.
The warning Vandle had given me was right. Karma was only able to drop the tray off a distance from us before Sin’s growls became too much, but there was good news—his aura hadn’t come out.
As soon as the door closed, he claimed me again, this time leaving a fresh bite on my neck. His hips snapped against mine until even my close-up vision was a little blurry, and I didn’t know whether it was from the desperation of oncoming heat or not.
When that round was over, I slipped from the bed and downed the whole glass before giving the other to Sin. His eyes were lidded, and when he was done, he picked me up in his arms.
There was a bit of him in there, the haze of his heat soothed for now, though not completely. I thought this was as good a time as any.
“Can I use the cuffs?” I asked, blinking up at him.
“You want to tie me up?”
I picked the key from the necklace and bit it, a delighted smile on my face. “I can get you out.”
He grinned. “Alright, Firefly.”
I felt just a little bad as the cuffs closed around his wrists, but I really needed a knot. And he really needed his alphas. Plus... Well, Sin with his wrists behind his back was the hottest thing I’d ever seen.
What was an omega supposed to do?
With the cuffs in place, he was trapped, kneeling on the floor with his arms bound behind his back. The nest didn’t have a bed, the floor was instead made of cozy mattresses so I could curl up anywhere. But the chains of the hook came out between the bedding here. He would be able to reposition comfortably, which was good for heat.
Mine to play with.
I sank down, fist finding his cock before I lowered myself onto it, my arms braced on his shoulders.
“Fuck...” He groaned as I rode him, crimson eyes a dim flicker of light.
“I love you,” I told him.
My fingers dug into his shoulders as I lifted and lowered myself, a thrill going through me at this power I had. The key around my neck controlled whether or not he could touch me at all.
I hoped he wouldn’t see it as a betrayal, what I’d done, but without the cuffs holding him back, his instincts would never let me take what I needed.
All of them, together.
I pressed my lips to his, claiming him with a kiss as I tried to soothe the heat of his body with mine. His teeth caught on my bottom lip and I moaned, writhing in his lap.
The earthy scent of ironwood and ember flowed into the space then, as my heat took a tighter grip on me.
Vandle was here.
Sin immediately went stiff, a growl in his throat, and I pulled back to meet his eyes.
SIN
Crescent was my sweet firefly goddess, her beautiful golden eyes glowing in the bright light of the massive nest.
I was trapped, wrists bound behind me while a pretty, glittering key swung from a necklace. It was accompanied only by the pale locks of her hair, resting between her breasts.
Heat rose in my chest, cooled by her every touch.
I was desperate for her.
Her palms pressed to my stomach, drifting up, and it washed away the next wave of that heat.
She was what I needed.
Still, the imbalance buzzed, the warmth not dissipating entirely.
It would go away, I just needed—I leaned forward, wrists jamming against the cuffs as I deepened our kiss and caught her lip with my teeth. She breathed a moan, driving her tongue into my mouth.
I was a parched man and she was the goddess that would drown me.
Bliss rose at every touch and for a moment, as she held me, I was whole. The discomfort was gone.
It was almost perfect…
Almost.
Until I saw movement.
My heart rate picked up, a growl rising in my throat.
“Sin,” Crescent whispered, trying to cup my chin as I watched the movement behind her. “They’re ours. I need them and you need them.”
I couldn’t look away from him—the shadow of an alpha approaching her.
Vandle?
I tried to shake the instincts gripping me, but it was impossible. My aura flared, and he halted, glancing between me and her. I tried to shove it down, but it was impossible.
I jolted against the cuffs, knowing I could snap through them, a growl in my chest.
She was mine.
My omega.
My heat.
But the metal caught, holding me in place. I frowned, heart suddenly pounding.
What?
My aura flared again, more strength surging through my system. More strength than anyone should have.
But the metal held.
I was trapped.
Vandle had stopped, those mismatched eyes holding mine intently. Cautious, but not deferent. I growled again, but this time I noticed her touch. She was still right there, over me, golden irises glittering. Her pussy still tightened over my length, though she’d stopped her languid grinding.
“I need them,” she repeated herself in a whisper. “We need them—”
I cut her off with another growl.
I couldn’t do this—she didn’t understand.
Then, as my eyes fell to the key glittering against her skin, it dawned on me.
She’d… tricked me?
Her grip on my chin strengthened, and there was more resolve in her gaze than I was used to. “We need them.”
The words were relief and panic all colliding in one.
I didn’t know if I was ready.
It was a truth I’d been fleeing.
Vandle sat on the blankets beside us, eyes fixed on me as he lifted a hand to brush a knuckle along her bare arm.
I couldn’t protect her from them.
I couldn’t protect them…
I wasn’t enough, trapped in the impossible, never sure where I fit or what I was supposed to be. I was in free fall, failing at all of it.
“Don’t touch her!” The words slipped out before I could stop them, the command so easily locking into place. Vandle’s hand withdrew.
“Sin!” Crescent sounded wounded. “Let it go.”
I couldn’t.
“That’s okay, Princess.”
Vandle’s jaw was clenched as he tried again, lifting his hand. He hesitated a moment and I could practically feel him steeling himself through the bond. It made me pause, a bubble of annoyance rising up as he pushed against the command.
He wouldn’t.
But as I watched, he shifted behind her. A low growl rose in his chest as he violated the order, whole body tense as he cupped her neck, lips pressing to her shoulder, red and white eyes fixed on me.
I couldn’t feel the pain he was feeling right now, the agony that fighting the command would cause him, but I could feel how unsettled he was through the bond.
Our… bond…
“I love you, and there is nothing that will keep me from you during heat,” he growled.
I blinked at the conviction in those words, and I’d let go of the command before I realized, instincts finding reprieve at last.
Vandle relaxed.
As I allowed my side of the bond to open further, I could feel the truth of what he’d said.
I swear Crescent’s eyes flashed in the low light, a smile tugging on her lips as she watched me. Her palm pressed to my chest, thumb gently tracing my skin, comforting… encouraging.
It was hard, like a stiff door that had never been tried before. I’d always felt them there—taken comfort in feeling their presence. But I’d never truly let them in.
Not like this.
Not like I needed to.
Finally, in this place of peace, free of threats and uncertainty, I saw the truth of my bond. How distant I was from them now I had her to compare myself to.
Since the day I’d been trapped down in Anarchy, since I’d almost been claimed for my designation alone, I’d been on lockdown. Even when Vandle, Phantom, and Karma had saved me, I’d never truly felt safe enough to let them in. As if, the moment I did, I might lose them.
I’d fought for her, and for them, and I hadn’t won alone—we’d won.
We were free and here in this nest in the woods, surrounded by endless clear skies, and the scent of pine and my pack.
I was, at last, truly out of things to run from.

CRESCENT
I felt him, that perfect moment when Sin finally let go. When his bond opened up in a way it never, ever had before.
A tear dripped down my cheek but I hurried to wipe it away, not wanting him to think I was upset. It was the opposite. I was the happiest I’d ever, ever been.
I’d helped to bring him back!
Just weeks ago, I’d been so scared I would never be good enough as an omega. Afraid that I’d curse whoever I touched.
Now my Sin was coming back to me.
I shifted in his lap, his length inside me still hard even after how many times he’d already made me come. The heat was relentless, and I… Whining, I grabbed for Vandle’s arm and tugged.
“Alpha,” I moaned. “Touch me.”
I think… that was it. Warmth blossomed in my core, spreading through my veins and making me heady.
Heat!
My heat was finally here.
Twin groans tore from Vandle and Sin, both shifting closer. Sin couldn’t do much, still bound up in the special cuffs. But he’d opened the bond, and was now so deep in the throes of heat I didn’t think he would order my alphas to leave again.
But Vandle’s hands landed on my hips, tugging the rest of my unnecessary clothes off, before helping me bounce on Sin’s cock until my rhythm was steady. Every time he impaled me again I cried out and Sin grunted, his hips thrusting to meet mine.
“Good girl,” Vandle whispered in my ear. “Ride him.”
He trailed his fingers up my stomach, teasing my nipples, until he could caress the front of my throat with one hand. Sin growled, his crimson gaze locked on Vandle’s hand.
The gentle touch on his healed bite mark had me trembling, but I couldn’t stop the frantic gyrations of my hips. I was chasing a high that felt a lot closer when I felt the touch of Vandle’s other hand.
He swiped through my slick, gathering the wetness of my arousal and Sin’s cum, then his touch travelled back, until one wet finger could push inside my other hole.
I cried out.
Oh my.
That was…
I eagerly tried to press back into Vandle and forward onto Sin at the same time, chasing the pleasure of it.
Vandle’s finger plunged deeper, filling me but nowhere near enough. I looked back at him, sinking my teeth into my bottom lip and releasing a whimper. “More.”
“Whatever you want, Princess.”
He added a second finger, finally giving me a pleasant stretch.
Sin grunted, hips slamming up into me frantically now, like he was racing Vandle. Trying to make me orgasm the fastest. But really it was both of them that made me scream my release when Vandle slid a third finger inside me, my body convulsing with pleasure.
“Fuck,” Sin hissed out a curse that I couldn’t even blame him for. He came deep in me, and I shuddered with pleasure, a whine slipping out as his cum turned every one of my nerves up so much I saw stars. My eyes were still squeezed shut to ward off the waves of need as I felt the soft head of Vandle’s length press against my hole. I whined.
I’d taken three fingers and Sin’s cock, but now…
I was going to take them both at the same time.
VANDLE
Crescent was lost to the heat, not hesitating to try and push back against my length. I was holding my sanity on a tight leash, bombarded by both of their scents at a potency so strong it threatened to drown me.
Fuck me.
I need my knot in her now.
But I wouldn’t risk sending Sin into a tailspin when I’d just felt him open up. He should probably keep claiming her pussy while his cum spilled out around his cock.
I’d take her ass.
“You sure, Princess?” I asked,
“Mhmm!”
“You’ll tell us if we’re doing anything that’s too much, or you’re uncomfortable with.” It wasn’t a question, it was a command.
She turned to me briefly. “Yes.” There was a pout on her lips, though. “But I need you!”
I snorted. That was definitely an affirmative.
She was so wet I didn’t need lube, her hole prepped and ready for me.
I eased in, holding her hips steady as I did, letting Sin control the pace of how he fucked her.
Her palms were planted on his bare chest as she was held in place while we used her sweet body.
Little whimpers slipped out as I slid my dick into her, but they weren’t pained. Instead, I felt frustration down the bond as if I wasn’t going fast enough.
Brat.
But I was not going to break her ass on first use, so she would have to be patient.
Plus, watching her tight virgin hole stretch around my dick was the hottest thing I’d ever seen.
“More!” she whined.
Their scents were fucking drowning me.
“Sin!” she whined, delicate fingers closing around his chin.
I swear they were both brats.
His pupils were so blown there was no crimson left in them, and his command came without his eyes leaving her.
“Fuck her better, Alpha.”
Goosebumps lit on my skin at the command, but my body didn’t even hesitate to comply. I watched as my length pulled out of her. I could see the little beads of sweat on her back, the heat consuming her.
Then I drove in, fists tight on her hips so I could hold her in place while she was fucked by us both at a brutal pace.
I groaned, leaning forward, burying my face against her hair as I rutted into her and trying to fucking hold on so I didn’t knot her too early.
