Malachi woke once again feeling restless Balthazar craved to be under the Blood Moon. He looked down at Aiden who was sound asleep. He untangled himself from Aiden's hot limbs splayed on his chest and legs. He gingerly placed his head back on the bed and eased out covering  the omega with his blanket.

He opened the double doors leading to the balcony attached to his room, the cold night air wrapped around him cooling his hot skin. Goosebumps erupted along his arms as the light of the moon hit him full force. He smiled thinking this was the strange way he had ever spent his birthday. 

With a smile on his lips, he let out a deep bellowing howel, his pack instantly followed as howels erupted all around him. Then he heard the sweetest howel of all from behind him, it was high and smooth as silk causing shivers to crawl up his spine and spread through his chest.

Small alabaster arms encircled his waist and a warm cheek pressed against his back. 

"You're awake?" he hissed as Aiden nipped the skin on his back. 

"Mmmm,” he responded as his small tongue ran up his spine. 

In one swift motion, Malachi turned to pin Aiden against the railing.

"Don't tempt me, little minx" he ground out as his head dipped hungrily sucking then tender flesh of his neck.

Aiden gasped and sunk his nails into his back, pulling himself closer desperate for connection.

"If we continue my rut will come he warned.” his words muffled as he continued kissing a trail up to his lips.

Aiden moaned leaning up on his toes for the kiss that never grazed his lips.

Malachi’s hands roamed down Aiden’s body, brushing lightly over his swollen nipples, down his ribcage, along his slim waist, over his curved hips to grab his luscious perky ass. He lifted the omega placing his heated body on the cool stone of the railing.

As the cold stone hit his ass he tried to scoot off but was stopped when Malachi stepped between his legs. 

A slow smile spread along Aiden's lips, his raspberry tongue peeked out to moistened his lips, wrapping his arms around Malachi’s neck drawing him closer. 

Malachi could taste his rut on the back of his throat it was close too close. He needed time to explain his intentions to Aiden was important. 

He swallowed hard trying to keep his rut at bay. Cupping Aiden’s small face in his hands forcing him to look up. Clearing his throat he spoke.

"Listen little one my rut is close but I need to make something clear to you."

Aiden nodded and tried to lean in for a kiss again, Mariachi forced him back releasing a warning growl. It snapped the omega out of his trance. His eyes widened and his cheeks flamed.

”We..We are naked." he squeaked.

Malachi fought back a smile and continued.

"With the next wave of my rut, I will claim you. I need you to understand."

Small tear droplets formed in Aiden’s eyes but none left his eyes as he nodded.

"I..I un ...understand." he stammered 

Malachi wondered if he truly did.

"It will be excruciatingly painfully for you and your wolf." the omega looked confused so Malachi clarified.

"When two mates mark each other it's pleasurable for both because they are mates. But I will have to force my will unto yours since you already found your mate. If you don't bend and submit to me you could lose your life or your wolf."

Aiden was stunned, never had he thought he would potentially lose his life and if he lost Link it would be just as bad. But yet again this man was giving him a way out.

His eyes locked with Malachi’s, raising a hand he caressed the outline of his face. His fingertips ever so lightly brushed against his hairline along beautifully defined cheekbones and a strong jawline chiseled by the gods.

His heart swelled thumping against his ribcage as Malachi nuzzled his cheek against his palm. Why? Why couldn't he have been his mate instead, he wondered? His heart slightly breaking once.more. It would be nice to have been his mate. A small smile spread across his lips once more.

"I understand," he said again with more confidence this time,"but I think we need to change positions."

It was Malachi’s turn to look confused, his brows knit together and his head cocked to the side.

"I prefer when you take me from behind.” he drew his last work out, watching as it wreaked havoc on Malachi. 

Malachi’s jaw tightened his eyes consumed by his pupils, the sent of his rut even stronger then before choked Aiden, as his own heat skyrocketed. His body heating up at an alarmingly high speed. 

Malachi devoured his mouth, pulling Aiden off the railing and sliding his body down. Their lips separated as he was turned around on shaky legs.

"You better stay standing or I will take you on the on the floor," Malachi said using his Alpha voice.

A delicious shiver went up Aidens back at the command. Hebclutches onto the railing for dear life trying not to fall. He felt Malachi rain kisses down his spine, Malachi kneeled behind him pulling his hips so they jutted out with his ass right in his face.

Aiden whimpered a no as he realized what was about to happen but Malachi didn't pay him any mind as his hands spread apart his butt cheeks. Revealing his puckered hole twitching with anticipation.

Malachi’s mouth filled with saliva at the sight of his omegas tight little entrance twitching for him. His slick flowed out and down his legs causing his own erection to twitch. 

He heard Aiden whimper something but he couldn't hear over the blood rushing through his ears.

He opened his mouth as saliva dripping from the corners Eager to taste his omega. The sent of Aidens slick intensifying Malachi’s hunger, leaned forward he enveloping the same entrance with his mouth. 

As the slick touched his tongue and the taste filled his mouth Malachi lost himself, slurping and licking enjoying as his omega squirming desperate for release. 

He thrust his tongue inside feeling Aiden clench around his tongue as the power of his orgasm washed over him. Malachi’s own orgasm shook his shoulders as his cum hit the floor.

Aiden couldn't hold back his cries of pleasure as they racked over him, his knees buckled but he forced himself to stand. Another wave of pleasure washed over him but stoppednat the peak causing Aiden to look back at his Alpha. 

Malachi was now standing behind him, his member rock hard and rearing to go. Malachi positioned himself at Aidens entrance and as he did earlier slid inside of him in one smooth thrust.

Aiden was ready this time and he relaxed all his muscles welcoming the feeling of being stretched and filled. 

"Are you ready minx?” he purred in his ear. Aiden nodded a whimper escaping his lips as he moved his hips against Malachi's earning himself an appreciative smack on the rump.

The last thing Malachi remembered From that night was the feel of his fangs burrowing deep into Aiden's neck and the feel of his silver hair wrapped around his hands.

Malachi had increased the rhythm of his hips to a staggering rate Aiden couldn't keep up so he just stood there moaning and mewling at each delicious thrust. Aiden was deliriously close to reaching his climax when Malachi wrapped his hand around his hair and leaning over him his left arm on the railing.

One final thrust and Aiden was spiraling from his orgazem, at the same time Malachi bit down. Pain shot through Aiden’s neck and down his spine as if someone poured molten lava under his skin.

Every fiber of his being screamed at him to fight, his tear-streaked eyes looked up fear freezing hm, his vision filled with the moon calming him ever so slightly as his fear disappeared. 

Malachi deepened his bite even more as he felt Aiden relax. 

Aiden's eyes never left the moon as the bit deepened blood flowing down his back as Malachi’s arms wrapped progressively around him lifting him up. His right arm around his hip and his left around his collarbone holding him in place.

Suddenly a new kind of warmth started to spread from the bite a sweet overwhelming kind of warmth that Aiden had always craved.

In the endless haze of pain and wonder something in his soul urged him to reciprocate the bite he received. The blood moon glowed brighter then Aiden had ever seen it.

The urge became so great as the warmth spread, Aiden’s mouth started salivating his eyes became sharp points and he grabbed his alpha’s arm sinking is onwn smaller fangs deep into Malachi’s wrist.

Darkness enveloped Aiden as he slumped against Malachi who crumbled to the floor. Fangs still indebted into one another.
