The Omega And Her Triplet Mates

Chapter 23: The bond

“It’s pretty simple, kind of like marriage vows I suppose. Just copy what I say when it’s your turn, but obviously use my name instead of your own. My full name is Fenris Gabriel Knight.”

I nodded and said, “ok, my full name is Rose Dawn Winters.”

He smiled, “beautiful names.”

Growing more serious, he took my hands in his, and looking me in the eyes, said, “I, Fenris Gabriel Knight of the Ragnarok dragon wolf pack, accept Rose Dawn Winters as my true mate. I promise to love her, protect her and care for her through every good moment and through every bad, always and forever.”

His words were beautiful, and I felt my wolf react to them, it felt incredible and beautiful, I felt loved and wondered how anyone could find the strength to reject a mate who had chosen to accept them, how did they reject such beautiful and wonderful emotions?

“Your turn,” he whispered when I still hadn’t spoken.

“Oh, right. I, Rose Dawn Winters of the Ragnarok dragon wolf pack, accept Fenris Gabriel Knight as my true mate. I promise to love him, protect him and care for him through every good moment and through every bad, always and forever.”

“Ok good, I have to mark you now, it might hurt a little.”

“Ok,” I whispered.

He moved in closer to me and holding my hips he leaned down and used his wolf fangs to bite my neck.

I moaned in both pleasure and pain, and then definitely moaned in pleasure when he gently licked the trickle of blood that escaped, he sucked my neck while biting down for a while, and I knew it was for his own enjoyment rather than needing to for the mark. He let go after a while and murmured, “it’s your turn.”

I looked at him in surprise, “I have to mark you too?”

He nodded and explained, “yes, if you don’t want any females trying to claim me or mate with me, the mark lets them know I’m both taken and belong to you.”

“I don’t think they’d take me very seriously,” I snorted.

He laughed a boyish laugh that was sexy as hell and said, “maybe not, but they will take the mate bond seriously, if I’m mated it’s obvious I won’t be interested anyway, so they wouldn’t bother.”

I shyly marked him too, and when I bit down, I did the same thing of sucking and biting on his neck for a while.

I half expected him to push me away, I was still insecure about him not wanting me, but he seemed to be enjoying it because he didn’t move away from me, if anything he pressed his neck more firmly against my lips.

When I did eventually move back, he leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips. “It’s a full moon tonight, we will come back here then and complete the bond.”

“How?”

He grew almost shy and it was cute. “Well, I mean we can always wait if you like, but to complete it, we mate in wolf form.”

My eyes grew wide and I whispered, “wolf form? Like b.estiality?”

He laughed, and said, “why would you think that? It’s only b.estiality if we go and find a real animal. Me and you are werewolves Rose, there’s nothing unnatural about that, we are as much wolves as we are human. To complete the bond, we mate in both human form and wolf form so that we are bonded completely in both forms, if that makes sense?”

When I didn’t answer, he said, “imagine if it were reversed, two wolves, and they can change into a human form, would it be weird if they mated in that form too if they are the same species?”

“Ok, I get it, you’re right, I’m being silly.”

“You don’t have to do it.”

I took his hands and said, “I want to.”

He looked down at our hands and I instantly let his go. “I’m sorry,” I said.

He took my hands and laid them flat against his chest. “You don’t need to be sorry, I am your mate now and if you want to touch me you can touch me. Every part of me is yours now.”

I never knew Fenris could be such a romantic, but I loved his words and how they made me feel. I slid my arms around his waist and pressed my head against his muscular chest.

This was all so strange, especially with Fenris the cold one, he kept surprising me in such a short amount of time, and he did again when he wrapped one arm around my shoulders and with his other hand, he softly stroked my curls from my face.

In all my excitement and confusion and giddiness I’d forgotten about him sleeping with cherry lemonade wolf and pulled back from the hug.

“What’s wrong?” He asked.

“You slept with cherry lemonade wolf!”

“Cherry what?” He asked confused.

Right, he didn’t know my nickname for her.

“The pretty blonde wolf who attacked me with her group, you slept with her after you kissed me, and you left the door open. I know you did it on purpose.”

“Oh, you mean Chantelle?”

When I only glared at him, he sighed and didn’t try to correct me or anything when I made full eye contact with him.

“You’re right, I was really immature and stupid to do that. I kissed you because I wanted to kiss you not because I was feeling turned on or whatever other excuse I said, it freaked me out how much I wanted you and I took it out on you. I apologise deeply, but I understand if you can’t forgive me.”

“I’m not sure what to do, I want you of course, but then of all the females you could have chosen you chose her, the one who helped beat and t.orture me.”

I saw guilt flicker across his face, as if he’d forgotten what they’d done when he came and helped me in the forest.

He nodded and kept his head down. “I know, it was probably unfair of me to spring on the whole mate thing so soon, maybe I should have given you more time or spoken to you before my father. I know he can be intimidating, and I don’t want you only accepting me because you felt pushed into it.”

I could feel his sadness and regret at what he’d done through our new bond, it felt strange, almost like my own feelings yet not. He really was sorry.

I wrapped my arms back around his waist and hugged him tight. “This was my decision, I wasn’t pushed into anything.”

He held me for a while and stroked my hair, he smelt so good, and it felt so right to be in his arms, as if I’d known him forever.

He let me go after a while and said, “we should probably head back.”

“I think I’m going to stay here in wolf form if that’s ok, I’ve done everyone’s food for them.”

He frowned at me, “I can’t wait until I’m alpha, the first thing I’m doing is changing that stupid rule that only submissive wolves or omegas have to do chores, everyone can make their own food or help out.”

He kissed the top of my head and more softly said, “I don’t think Jax will be happy you being alone out here after what happened last time, and neither am I.”

I really enjoyed the freedom of being a wolf, and he must have caught my look of defeat because he looked like he was thinking about something, and then he said, “I was going to finish off some of my work for a game developing company, but there’s not much left to do. I can just do it later if you want to spend time out here instead?”

I nodded eagerly and then asked excitedly, “you help develop games?”

He looked surprised by my question and enthusiasm and answered, “yes, my family’s rich, but that doesn’t mean I want to just sit around doing nothing just because I can. I can mostly work from home, which is better than being away on a full moon, accidentally working too late and bam, the werewolf I helped create in their game is suddenly standing there in real life before them, that would be pretty awkward.”

I loved that he had a geeky side to him like me, I had loved gaming before I got sent to the asylum. I loved that I got to see a piece of his sense of humor too, it was super cute and adorable.

“I love gaming, or I did before I got sent to the asylum. I’d love to watch you work some time.”

“You like to game?” He asked.

“Yes, why do you sound so surprised?” I laughed.

“Sorry, I’m just not used to girls being into gaming, especially not werewolves.”

“I’m pretty geeky I guess, I enjoy so many games from story driven to role playing games.”

He seemed happy about this, and we found ourselves talking about gaming and what games were our favorites for a few hours until remembering what we were here for.

Fenris seemed more comfortable with me now that we had found a common interest.

He stood up from where we had been sitting on a tree trunk and said, “I think we got carried away, it’s almost time to complete the bond,” he laughed.

I looked up to see that he was right, the sun was already setting, and I grew nervous. “Remember, we don’t have to do this yet if you don’t want to,” he said.

“I’m a virgin, so I’m wondering if it would bother Jax or Romulus on the off chance they accepted me as a mate to find you were the one who took my virginity.”

He rose his eyebrows and replied, “I forgot you were a virgin. We can wait, you’re right, if they choose you as a mate, then we should all talk about who you get to experience losing it with first.”

“First?” I asked.

“The mating bond is a magical ritual, it truly is bonding and when it comes to having more than one mate, well, it’s complicated to explain, but the magic involved makes it so that it’s fair for all true mates, you’ll lose your virginity to one and then after the bonding you’ll be a virgin again until you’ve completed the bond with all mates.”

“So I have to go through that painful process three times?” I asked.

He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “yes, I suppose you will. Sorry.”

“And you guys will be fine with sharing one mate?”

“It’s normal among werewolves to be able to have more than one mate, it doesn’t just have to be triplets or twins, in rarer cases they can be random and completely unrelated to one another. If you’re asking me if it will be hard, as In jealousy wise? Maybe, me personally I’m fine with my brothers, if it were anyone else probably not, but whereas Jax and Romulus are more open and kinky in the bedroom and might be fine sharing you in bed, I won’t be, when me and you are intimate I want it to just be us two.”

I nodded in understanding and then said, “it seems unfair you don’t get more than one mate like me.”

He gave a soft laugh. “Well, I’m just glad it’s my brothers rather than some stranger I have to share you with, I trust them more. We do actually have a second mate as well.”

“What?” I asked surprised.

“It’s like the next best thing, a second chance if you don’t end up with your true mate. It won’t be quite as intense or true as your first mate, but it’s pretty close.”

“So if you guys reject me, we all get a second chance with someone else?”

He laughed and answered, “not quite, you don’t have to necessarily meet your true mate first, sometimes you can meet your second chance mate first. It’s not very often, but I’ve even heard of some accepting their second chance mate before meeting or knowing their true mate, sometimes it works and other times it can get messy when their true mate turns up.”

“And you aren’t grossed out, sharing me with your brothers?” I wanted to be sure.

“Why would I be grossed out? You mean just because they’re my brothers? No, why would I be? I’ll be f.ucking you, not them.”

I laughed and said, “the pack might think it’s weird.”

“I don’t care what they think, it’s not their life, so it’s of no concern to them, and it would be childish if they did find it weird, like I said, we will be dating you not each other, I have zero intentions of dating my brothers and any i.diot who thinks otherwise can come and challenge me.”

More shyly, I asked, “and what about seeing them show me affection?”

“You’re worrying too much, I’m not going to be traumatised seeing them kiss or cuddle you or even f.ucking you, we are all adults, I’m sure we can be mature about it, it’s not like I’ve never seen a naked body before, have you not noticed how many naked werewolves are around? When we change to wolf form we don’t wear clothes we don’t want destroyed, so I’ve seen plenty of naked people before they go off to change, including my brothers, it’s become as interesting as looking at paint dry on a wall. Besides, us males don’t care about stuff like that as much as you females, we really don’t care about how we get our s.ex.”

I laughed and finally relaxed, he was right, I was overthinking it all, and we were all grown-ups, it would be fine.

We headed back to the pack house and I noticed the sudden change in Fenris, he turned back to that cold and disinterested wolf that he’d been before we’d done part of the mate bond, it was so good I was worried if he’d changed his mind or if it was just for show, I really couldn’t tell.
