The Omega and her Triplet Mates (and her second chance mate) book 2

Chapter 16: Pain

There was still no lead on Nick, but about a month later I was relaxing in the bath when pain shot through my body. I doubled over and cried out as a sharp, searing pain tore through my stomach.

I knew it was Nick, he had been seriously injured and was dying, I felt the bond pulsing like an actual pulse, it was gradually getting slower. I didn’t want him to die.

I climbed out of the tub while pain still tore through me, and slipped on the tiled floor. I quickly got up, grabbing my dressing gown and put it on.

Romulus was coming up the stairs and I grabbed him hard.

“Rom, I need your help and you guys are going to hate me, but you can hate me after.”

He looked at me confused and said, “what are you talking about?”

Another pain ripped through me and I fell to my knees. “Rose! What’s wrong?” He asked, bending down in front of me.

“I found my…second chance mate,” I gritted through the pain.

Both surprise and anger showed on his face, and he said, “Nick.”

“How did…you know?” I panted.

“He’s the one who took you, and you’ve been like this ever since, all these new symptoms of being in heat and whatever the f***k this is.”

“I’m really sorry, I didn’t do anything to complete the bond, the bond somehow forced the ritual itself, so he’s now my mate too.”

The pain slowly eased away, and I sat down and carried on. “I felt it Rom, it hurt, I felt our mate bond split off into a second line directly to Nick. Apparently, I’ll keep being in heat until he mates with me, it’s the bond’s way of trying to force us to complete it.”

Romulus was calm when he asked, “how is this even possible?”

“I spoke with my boss, she said there’s only been a couple of cases worldwide where this has happened, usually if a true mate has died, so we think Nicks true mate must have died and when he met me the bond latched on like some freaking leech or something, trying to force a bond between us to protect both itself and him. I’m his last chance or something, it’s complicated to explain, but I can feel him dying.”

“This is f.ucking insane, so if you’re feeling his pain, does that mean you can die too?”

I nodded and said, “Fenris might go crazy again and maybe even Jax, but I need you to make sure they don’t try and kill him, or they might end up killing me along with him.”

He stood up and held a hand out, helping me to my feet. “How do we find this Nick?”

“I don’t know.”

I think I’d only seen Romulus wear sweatpants a handful of times, he always dressed nice, but there was no time for that so he pulled on some gray sweatpants and pulled on his black sleeveless hoodie keeping his muscular arms on display.

He looked so hot this casual, and it took him calling my name two times before I stopped staring and said, “huh?”

Smiling, he shook his head and said, “I was trying to ask if maybe you could focus on him through the bond, maybe you could find him that way.”

I hadn’t thought of that as we couldn’t do that with each other, but whatever this was between me and Nick, maybe it could work.

I focused on him, willing the bond to help me find him. I think because the bond was so intent on us being mated, it wanted me to find him too because I could sense where he was.

I couldn’t see where he was or anything so dramatic, but I could smell it, almost hear it. It felt cold and dark, I could smell cars nearby and people, I could almost faintly hear the murmurings of the public close by, but not close enough to see him. I smelt ice-cream and milkshakes In the distance.

I relayed it all to Romulus and he was quiet while he thought. “Ice-cream and milkshakes, any particular flavours or something that could help narrow it down?”

“Strawberry was the strongest smell,” I shrugged.

Jax came up the stairs and asked, “what you two banging on about?”

I think my heart literally crawled up and got stuck in my throat, I had no idea how he would react.

I think Romulus was as calm as he was because he was in to that whole seeing his woman with another man thing, that sort of thing required a lack of jealousy on his part, I knew he still wasn’t happy at all about Nick being my mate, but I think his kink somewhat helped him not lose his s.hit.

Romulus looked at me and I gave him wide fearful eyes. He looked back to Jax and cleared his throat.

“Uh, nothing, I was going to take Rose to that milkshake place, I can’t remember where it is exactly or what it’s called though, just that I’ve been before and it was good.”

“Oh, the place with the ice cream floats?”

“Yeah, what the f***k was that place called?” Romulus was scarily good at acting and I wondered if that was because he had to be in the past when lying to his girlfriends about what he was up to while cheating on them.

“Strawberry paradise or some s.hit, how could you forget where it was? It’s only a ten-minute f.ucking drive.”

“I don’t know, It wasn’t exactly the type of place my girlfriends wanted to go.”

He looked at me and put an arm around my shoulders, “not that there’s anything wrong with going there.”

Jax pulled me in to his arms and kissed my cheek, “not at all, you’re our princess, aren’t you darling.”

I pushed him for that. “Pfft, no I’m not!”

When they both looked at me, I muttered, “ok, that sounded a little sulky and bratty.”

They both laughed and Jax said, “it’s fine, we love everything about you, it’s natural you’d be drawn to things you were denied as a child, now you get to experience it all.”

“I do, I just pretend it’s for the kids,” I laughed with them and Jax kissed my head. “Want me to come?”

Romulus pulled me away from him and said, “no, this is just mine and Rose’s time, you had her last night, don’t think me and Fenris didn’t notice that you left the pack house for hours.”

Jax sighed and muttered, “fine, but don’t keep her out all night, I want to cuddle with her in bed.”

We both looked at him with raised eyebrows, and he snapped, “what! Can’t I want to cuddle my mate?”

“It’s just, you aren’t exactly the lovey-dovey type,” I teased.

He shoved me playfully. “I am, I just hide it really well.”

“Aww, Jax, you’re so cute,” I grabbed his face and kissed him, and he pushed me away.

“Alright woman, f***k off already and enjoy your f.ucking kid milkshake and ice-cream.”

“Ok daddy.”

“Shut the f***k up with that s.hit! I’m never doing it again for you.”

I was laughing with Romulus so hard that Jax gave up with us, and walking off, he flipped us the finger.

“He gave you that fantasy, I take it,” Romulus said.

I nodded and blushed. He looked at me for a moment and said, “maybe I wouldn’t mind doing it for you sometime.”

When I looked at him surprised, he laughed and took my hand. “Come on, love.”

“So, do I start calling you daddy Rom?”

I couldn’t help teasing him, and he had a similar reaction to Jax.

“Don’t you f.ucking dare, not out here anyway, in bed sure,” he winked, realizing I was trying to torment him.

My cheeks burned hotly at the thought of it like he wanted, and I was glad to be outside with the fresh night air hitting my face and cooling me down.

We climbed in to the car, and he turned to look at me. “Are you ok?”

“Yes, I’m all good, the pains stopped now.”

“Before we go to him, I want to f***k you.”

My eyes grew wide as saucers and I asked, “now?”

“Yes, now, right here, I want my scent all over you in case he thinks of trying anything. I want to claim you and I realise that’s my wolf side being a selfish primal d.ick, but I need to.”

I blushed hard, Romulus was always so sweet and romantic, it wasn’t often he spoke like this, and it was hot when he did.

“Come here, love,” he said, patting his leg.

I crawled on to his lap and straddled him in the driver’s seat, it was a little tight, but we made it work.

He kissed me softly on the lips, knowing I was shy and only when I melted into his soft kisses did he then slowly run his fingers up along my thighs, sliding them under my dress until he reached my panties.

I had started wearing dresses more because even though we didn’t have the same crazy amount of s**x we did before kids came along, we still did it enough that I’d gotten fed up with them tearing my clothes off and ruining them, this way, it was only my panties in their way.

He didn’t bother taking them off, he slid his hand down them and rubbed my p*****. and fingered me until his fingers were sticky and wet. Like Jax had, he put his fingers in his mouth and slowly sucked them, tasting me and moaning at the taste.

He pulled the front of his waistband down just enough to free his thick hard e.rection and then moving my panties to the side, he pushed himself inside of me.

I moaned to the feel of him stretching me, it felt good, I slowly started rocking my hips against his, growing used to his big size. When I was comfortable, I rode him faster and harder, panting. “It feels good, it feels so good.”

His hands were on my thighs, and he was watching my face hungrily. “You like my c***k love?”

I nodded, and he growled, “who do you belong to?”

“You, I belong to you,” I moaned.

“Good girl, ride daddy’s c***k harder.”

His words turned me on, and I rode him faster and harder.

“That’s it, make me come,” he moaned, his head tilted back, panting and breathless himself at this point.

“It feels so good, daddy Rom,” I moaned.

Usually, we might have laughed at that, but he was lost to the wolf right now, I’d never seen him lose control before, which let me know this whole Nick thing affected him more than he was letting on.

“Good girl baby, come on, I’m so f.ucking close, make me come in that p*****.,” he groaned, his hands grabbing my a.ss, so he could f***k me harder.

I cried out, “daddy!” Over and over again as I orgasmed and he growled inhumanly, “good girl, keep riding it like that, I’m gonna come so hard.”

I felt his warm release inside of me, and I collapsed against his chest, both of us breathless.

When my breathing was calmer, I spoke in to the quiet. “Are you ok?”

He made me pull back from him so he could look in my eyes and said, “I’m ok, sorry I lost a bit of control there.”

“It’s ok, I know this isn’t a good situation.” I looked down, and he tilted my chin back up, making me look at him.

“Don’t feel guilty Rose, we have all f****d you over in the past, we weren’t the best to you, so don’t feel guilty as if we are some saints.”

I smiled at him softly and said, “maybe, but it’s been years, and you’ve been nothing but perfect since.”

“Not quite, we’ve only just recently started giving you the attention you should have been having all along. My point is, you don’t need to feel guilty about anything, this isn’t your fault, you can’t help who your second chance mate is, and you can’t control the bond. Let’s go find him and we can figure this out later.”

He started the car when I climbed back In to the passenger seat and drove.
