AVA
After that, I actually wanted to head home. I couldn’t begin to describe just how badly I wanted my
Kings to mark me again.
I needed the closeness. I needed to feel safe.
Home wasn’t a place anymore. It was the four of them. My Kings were my home.
We headed back to the packhouse the next morning, reaching it in time for lunch. Of course they
made me sit down and eat something before we could do anything else. And they insisted on making
sure there was a doctor here just in case.
“My Queen,” the doctor bowed his head slightly.
“Hey, Doc.”
“What can I do for you today?”
“We just need you to hover in the pack house later on today in case we need you.”
He raised one eyebrow.
“Ava is insisting on us starting to redo the marks tonight, Doctor,” Callum interjected, voice sounding
frustrated.
“I see,” the Doctor nodded. “From a medical perspective, I don’t see any reason for complications.”
He gave me a small smile. “I would recommend waiting after the first one though, my Queen, just to
make sure that there are no adverse effects. I’ll take baselines from you and the first mate, and again
afterwards to make sure everything is okay.”
“Of course, Doc.”
He gave a respectful bow as he stood. “Let me know when you need me here, my Queen, my Kings,
and I’ll be here.”
I nodded, dismissing him.
“I have to say, my Queen,” Callum linked. “I never thought I’d be planning a checkup with a doctor
for immediately after fucking you.”
“Me neither, my King,” I grinned.
“When and where do you want me?” I could feel his smirk through the link.
“Now?”
“We’ve just let the doctor go, Callum.”
“He’ll come back if you ask nicely.”
I gave him a small smile, running my hand down his chest. “Come on then, I’ll let you call him back.”
I walked away from him towards the armchair, winking at him over my shoulder as I went. He must
have told the doctor to hurry up because he was back here within a couple of minutes, medical kit in
hand.
The doctor checked our blood pressure, heart rate, breathing… eyes, the works, before finally giving
Callum and I the go ahead.
Callum threw me over his shoulder, leaving everyone else chuckling. Oscar, Theo, Noah and the
doctor were going to sit downstairs with coffee, ready to jump in if either of us needed them.
Callum sprinted up the stairs, taking them three at a time, bouncing me around on his shoulder as he
ran. He kicked the door shut behind him, before dropping me in the middle of our bed and getting to
work on his shirt buttons.
I watched intently as he exposed more and more of his muscled physique; I don’t think I’d ever be
immune to the effect of seeing any of my Kings naked.
“Strip, baby girl,” he smirked.
For once, I did as I was told immediately, leaving my clothes and shoes in a pile on the floor. As soon
as I did, he crawled on top of me, wedging his hips in between my legs, capturing my lips in a
punishing kiss.
I whimpered beneath him, my core ending up warmer and wetter with each stroke of his tongue
against mine, and with each brush of his erection against my opening.
“Ready, little one?”
I nodded, trying not to look too eager and failing miserably. He leaned back over me, crashing his
mouth into mine and pushing inside me in one move.
I moaned against his mouth, tilting my hips towards him, making sure his body rubbed against my clit
with every movement.
In an embarrassingly short period of time, I was close, really close. “Mark me, Callum,” I moaned,
tilting my head to the side. As soon as his teeth sank into my neck, I cried out, before sinking my own
teeth into his neck, sending us tumbling over the edge together.
He rolled off me and we lay there, attempting to catch our breath for what felt like an eternity… and it
must have been a long time because a very concerned Oscar burst in.
Oscar came to a sudden stop, his eyebrows raising and nostrils flaring. I saw him look over at Callum,
both of whom had wide eyes.
“Ava…. Fuck,” Oscar’s nostrils flared again and I could see Dionysus in his eyes. “You’re in heat.”
“How can I be in heat? How?!”
“Ava… you never completed the mating process the first time, then you were forcibly marked, and
now you’ve started it again. At this point, it’s anyone’s guess what happens next,” Oscar’s voice was
calm, but I could hear that he was forcing himself to keep it together, to not immediately ravish me.
Even though I really, really wanted him to.
I groaned, rolling to my side, holding my abdomen as pain started running through me. I felt like I
was burning, my skin was on fire, my blood boiling in my veins. The insides of my thighs were wet,
and I felt even hotter still.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I fought to keep it together, to not jump Oscar’s bones, but it felt like a
losing battle. I sat up so I could see his face, keeping my legs together so he didn’t have to smell just
how ready and just how much I needed him.
“Callum, go get the doctor,” Oscar growled. He was fighting a losing battle too. “Bring Theo and
Noah. I think we need to do this now.”
Callum pulled on just his underwear, his eyes still a little dazed, unfocused, before running downstairs
to find the doctor.
Oscar stalked towards me, Dionysus almost completely in control, but I could see Oscar fighting with
him, just like I could feel Artemis fighting with me.
“Oscar, I need you,” I begged. “Please, it hurts so much.” I reached out to take his hands, planning to
pull him on top of me… but he didn’t let me.
Oscar was fully back in control now, and was planning to wait for the doctor to come up.
I let myself fall to the side, curling up in a ball, my eyes full of tears. Oscar came and sat next to me,
his hand stroking my hair. “I’m sorry, baby,” he whispered. “I wish I could make it go away.”
“Fuck me and it will,” I cried out, not even caring about how needy I sounded.
“I can’t, baby… not until the doctor has checked you over.”
Fortunately, the four of them reached the room a minute later.
“My Queen…” the doctor started. “King Callum’s vitals are fine. I just need to check yours, please.”
I nodded, offering him my arm so he could check my blood pressure. But as soon as he touched my
skin, I flinched, scrambling backwards away from him.
“Don’t touch me,” I cried. “It hurts so much.”
He held his hands up in surrender, hoping not only to calm me, but also the four angry Alphas
watching him. Their wolves are naturally possessive. Couple that with a random wolf touching their
mate when she’s in heat and her ending upset, and you have a recipe for a shitshow.
“The Queen is absolutely fine,” the doctor started. “Your heartbeat and breathing sound as normal as
expected for a shewolf in heat, and your eyes look good too. I believe you’re good to go, my Queen,
but if that changes, please let me know.”
I nodded, not even waiting for him to leave before I stood and flung myself into Oscar’s arms,
crashing my lips straight into his. Me being in heat didn’t change anything, I still needed to maintain
the order.
Oscar backed me up against a wall, my legs around his waist. His pupils were dilated, eyes wide as he
and Dionysus battled for control. His mouth started teasing down my neck until he reached the spot
he’d mark, just above Callum’s.
I groaned as his erection ground against my core through his jeans, likely leaving behind a very
noticeable wet spot. I reached in between us, got his jeans and boxers out of the way, and guided him
inside me.
He growled, his teeth starting to dig into my neck as he filled me, but he managed to hold back, even
though my fingers in his hair might as well have been me begging him to just mark me already.
He let his teeth scrape along my neck as he started to move, and it was pretty clear that neither of us
were going to last. All too soon, I was exploding as his teeth sunk into my neck, and he joined me
when I bit into his.
We fell onto the bed to catch our breath and to give me a chance to recover before moving onto bond
three. Of course, the joy of being in heat meant that within twenty minutes, I was in pain again.
Noah was next. He sat in the armchair, encouraging me to ride him, giving me total control over our
pace. His fingers pinching my nipples was all I needed to be fluttering around him, ready to explode.
My mouth fell open in a silent scream when he marked me, pure pleasure running through my body, a
look that was replicated on his face when I marked him.
I fell onto the bed next to Theo, letting my breathing and the tingling on my neck settle as Noah’s
mark healed.
I smiled up at him, my eyes dropping to his lips. He took the hint, leaning down to press his lips
against mine. This was the first time Theo and I would truly be able to make love with just the two of
us.
And then Callum ruined it.
“Ava… Theo… I wish I didn’t need to say what I’m about to…”
“What?” I growled as I broke the kiss. Theo turned to scowl at him.
“This is the one that might cause some kind of power explosion or something. I don’t want to leave
you on your own.”
I sighed, rubbing my face. “Go next door then. That guest room is empty. It gives us a little privacy,
and you three are just next door if anything goes wrong.”
He nodded, not looking very happy about it, but nonetheless, the three of them did leave.
Once the door shut, I pulled Theo on top of me, his hips resting in between my legs. “I wish I could
take my time with you tonight, Princess,” he ground his hips against me, “but I don’t think I can. I
don’t think my wolf will let me.”
“I don’t care, and Artemis doesn’t want to wait either,” I whispered, kissing my way along his jaw.
“Tomorrow night we can take our time. Just the two of us.” I nipped the spot on his neck that I’d be
marking soon, drawing a groan from his throat, his eyes falling shut.
“We can do whatever we want… however we want…” I whispered, lips on his collarbone. “Tonight, I
just need you, and I can’t wait for you to be inside me.”
With that, his mouth crashed down on mine, his hands fighting with his fly whilst I argued with his
shirt. As soon as he was naked above me, I ran my fingers down his chest and the lines of his
abdomen, enjoying how his muscles stretched and moved under my touch.
I cried out when he thrust straight inside me, the angle of each movement being in just the right place
to drive me crazy. In no time, my walls were fluttering around him as my orgasm came closer and
closer, every spasm encouraging him to push even deeper.
I screamed when his teeth sunk into my neck as my orgasm hit, my nails digging into his shoulders.
Once he’d pulled back from my neck, I tugged his head to the side, marking him too.
He rolled to lay by my side, and then all hell broke loose.
