“You keep tightening up every time I touch you here,” I whispered in his ear. I rubbed my dick deep against his sweet spot before I pulled out completely.

“Put it back in,” I commanded. River’s ass gaped wide was quite the view. The Omega meekly complied, desperate to have his little hole stuffed again.

“Fill me up,” he said as he eased my dick back inside him. I didn’t wait for him to put it all, rushing to completely slam my body into his.

“Like that?” I grabbed a fist full of his curls, leaning over to lick the nape of his neck. That was all it took for him to beg for me.

“Please make me cum,” he cried out. Ezra began kissing him, rubbing his perked nipples as I began my second round. Pinning him down, plunging deep into his delectable creamy hole.

Ezra leaned in for a kiss. I wasn’t one to deny affection, especially from him. It shook me the first time we kissed, how well the wolf could even control his mouth. Tongues swirling, the wolf rubbed the back of my neck as I carried on fucking River. My body couldn’t deny all the attention, and there was no point in fighting it anymore—

Fuck—Fine, I like him. Happy now?!

Ezra had always been an enigma to me. As pups, he was kind and sweet. As we grew older and our humans grew apart, I’d always assumed that he was on the same page as Nate. It wasn’t long after our mate bonding, that everything I thought to be true about us was a lie. He still cared, and the rush of butterflies I always felt when he was around a long time ago still held true even now. It was just difficult for me to articulate this epiphany. I had trouble finding my words, and expressing any feelings towards them really pushed me out of my comfort zone. But Ezra didn’t need me to say anything to know where my heart was at.

Caught up in kissing the Alpha, my pace picked up. Tag teaming, Ezra rubbed the Omega’s swelled cock. I chased the rush, my powerful thrusts took River over the edge.

“Ahhh, shit!” He came, his cum dripping down his legs, a surge of warm slick coated my dick, making his hole even wetter. Ezra teasingly rubbed his tip. River tried to catch his breath, completely spent after my pounding. On shaky legs, he still tried to hold his own, but I didn’t stop.

My instincts took over, pounding him hard. Ezra was still kissing me. I need them more than I ever imagined, filling the void in my life. I wonder how I ever got by without my mates. Sex had become more than just an act. It was our bridge back together, where we always met. A way to show them my true feelings.

Ezra broke our kiss, his striking red eyes held my attention. The Alpha bit his lips, egging me on.

“Cum inside of him,” the Alpha commanded me. My body surged, releasing my seed deep inside River’s tight ass.

“Fuck!” I couldn’t stop, my dick milked completely dry of my cum. “Shit.” Beads of sweat dripped down my forehead as I pulled out.

“Damn it.” I knew I didn’t look cool here. Ezra had gotten the best of me, and the smug look on his face said it all.

River chuckled, tousling his curls as he looked back. “Took you long enough,” he poked fun at me.

“Shut up.” I could feel my face turning red, my hair a complete mess as I tried to recover from the rush of it all. My dick tingled, still sensitive at the moment.

We all looked at each other, all sharing a smile, knowing this was just the beginning of our fun.

“Who’s next?” River playfully bit his lips. Always starting trouble.

——

It was a long night, everything became a blur at some point. Ezra took his time fucking River as I had my fun, playfully teasing his nipples and covering his body in hickies. Eventually, I fell asleep. We moved the mattress to the floor, where we all laid down.

Ezra and River were still up, but my body gave out. The room was coated in our thick senses, enticing me to drift to sleep. I didn’t know how to be alone anymore, something that still picked at my sense of security.

Fading into the darkness, an uneasiness settled over me. Dreams always eluded me. It was the night terrors that accompanied me most nights. But I found a way around it, tapping into a forgotten moment in time.

There, sitting on a cozy couch, I’d find myself drawn to this faded memory. My mother, with her beautiful hair nestled into a messy bun and pink sweats as she watched her favorite show,

“Barron,” she called out to me. My younger self approached from the dark hallway, timidly walking forward.

“Can’t sleep, huh?” She paused her show, showing off one of her infamous smiles. “Let me guess, is it the monster in the closet or underneath the bed?” She patted the sofa for me to sit next to her.

With the invite, I ran over to her, jumping up onto the cushion so we could snuggle.

“It was both,” I answered. “But I’m not afraid, you know.” I always had to play up the tough guy act even when I was a kid.

She let out a small chuckle before unpausing her show, stroking my hair as we watched TV. She never yelled at me for being up past my bedtime, and she didn’t belittle me for my foolish thoughts. I always found comfort in being near her, even making up excuses just to meet up with her every night.

The same sequence happened in the dream, my younger self dozing off to the background of the TV. Her warmth surrounded me as she softly hummed, running her fingers through my messy hair. It was a comfort habit of mine. Whenever something went wrong in my life, I’d always think of this memory. Lost in time, I could revisit it repeatedly— just another way to see her again. I’d never leave this place if I could help it. It had been so many years since I last saw her face and I was worried I’d forget. My grief never ended. It just changed to something else—regret.

While Theo learned to suppress his emotions, and the rest of my family moved on, I didn’t want to forget her. My mother meant more to me, and I hated that no one cared to avenge her death. Didn’t she mean anything to them? Did no one care?

“Barron,” my mother broke my trance. “It’s okay to be scared sometimes.” She could sense the tension radiating from me. “Just know I’ll always be there for you whenever you need me.”

“I know,” I choked back my tears. I knew it wasn’t true, but I still believed her when she said that. My eyelids were heavy, my emotions bubbling just at the surface as I tried to forget all of my worries in my life. Lost inside, my mother's voice called to me from my peaceful silence.

“Barron, it's gonna be okay. River and Ezra are there for you now. They’ll keep you safe.” The words shook me. I lifted my head to greet my mother, but she was no longer there. She was gone, but her words struck me deep.

She was right. In a passage of time, my delusions allowed me to forget what was really important now. I could no longer hold on to the past. I had to move forward, for myself and now for the family I had.

It was always going to take time to heal from all of my old wounds, but I was still working on that. It was normal for me to deflect and shut down. Things were changing for me now. I had two little ones to look after soon. I needed to be a strong wolf to guide them through life. Whenever they needed me, I would be there for them. That was the promise I made to them, and it was the same promise my mother had made to me. And one thing was for certain: until Tyrus or any other threat ‌remained, they would never be safe. River and Ezra, the pups, our humans—I needed to make sure they were all safe. It was my duty as an Alpha to make things right again.
