Chapter 44 No Longer A Virgin
Thea untied Conri’s robe, wrapped her arms and legs around him, then pressed their foreheads together.
“How are you?” Conri whispered.
“I’m good,” she said.
“Will it still hurt?”
“I don’t know, but if I feel enough pleasure, I don’t feel the pain.”
He smiled. He leaned in, and they kissed. His hands sent sparks all over her body.
“I’ve been waiting my whole life to mark you, Thea Lyall,” he whispered. “I love you more than anything. Now everyone will know you’re mine.”
“I love you too. I’ve been dreaming of this for a long time.”
He positioned himself at her entrance.
“Ready?”
She nodded.
“Yes, Con. I want your mark on me.”
He slowly pushed in, watching her face. She winced. He paused.
“It’s okay,” she said. “Keep going.”
He pushed in as his thumb drew circles on her clit. She tilted her hips back and forth. He began thrusting, and he kissed down her neck to his marking spot. He came back up and put his forehead on hers.
“I can’t get the right angle,” he said. “I need to be behind you.”
“Do what you need to do, babe,” Thea said.
He pulled out and pulled her off the table. He turned her around, bent her over the table, lifted her robe up, spread her cheeks, and entered her from behind. She bit back a cry of pain. She was facing away from the crowd, toward Alaric and Kai. She was glad no one could see her face in pain. She hoped it wouldn’t feel like this every time. She tried to relax, hoping that would help.
Conri pulled her hips away from the table so he could reach around and rub her clit. From this angle, he hit that spot inside her that sent shivers throughout her body, and quickly, she felt the pleasure, not the pain. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
When she was close, he bent over her and sunk his teeth into the bend of her neck, behind Alaric’s mark. Another stab of pain before pleasure and connection. Thea let the feeling flow through her and into the crowd. When Conri came inside her, the connection snapped in place, just like it did with Alaric. He pulled his canines out and licked the punctures until they closed, sending pleasure cascading through her body. He kissed the mark, then pulled out of her and turned her to face him. He set her back on the table and looked at his mark on her.
A different design was growing from his punctures, cascading down her back.
“My mark is silver,” Conri said. He smiled.
“I love you so much.”
“I love you too,” Thea said. She tied his robe.
“You better go.”
He kissed her and stepped away.
Kai took his place in front of Thea. He didn’t ask her how she was. He knew.
“I was thinking,” Kai whispered. “I know you can’t mark me yet, but that doesn’t mean I can’t smell like you every day.”
Thea smiled at him, knowing what he was thinking.
“I’ll allow it,” she said. “As long as it’s fresh every day.” She would enjoy spending her life pleasing her mates.
“Oh, it will be. I plan to have my face in your pussy every day for the rest of our lives.”
He pushed her down on her back. She sat up on her elbows and looked at him, confused. He spread her legs, and she winced. She swallowed the thought that she couldn’t handle the pain again so soon. The mating ceremony was more important than her comfort.
“Let’s take care of that, darling,” Kai said.
He put his face between her legs and licked her torn hymen, sending pleasure and warmth through her body.
“He’s healing her,” someone said. Murmurs of agreement rippled through the crowd.
He licked until there was no more pain, then he moved to her clit and brought her to orgasm. He stood up, untied his robe, and positioned himself at her entrance. He looked into her eyes, asking for permission. She nodded. He pushed in and fell on top of her.
“You feel amazing,” he said into her neck.
“Like I belong here.”
“You do belong here,” she said. This time there was no pain, just a feeling of fullness and tingles. She could feel him inside her, her walls pulsing and stretching around him.
“What made you think to heal me?”
“I was thinking about how I wanted to go down on you. I wanted your scent on me. I know there was still pain with Con. When he licked his mark closed, I thought, that’s the perfect reason to go down on you in the ceremony.”
“I want to throw you over and ride you so bad right now.” He groaned.
“I love it when you take charge, but after this, darling. We have to do this properly.”
“You know,” Thea whispered.
“With me being human and you a shifted Alpha wolf, I won’t be able to overpowel you anymore. You’ll be able to do anything you want with me, and I’ll be helpless to fight you.”
Kai looked into her eyes, questioning.
“Don’t you know it turns me on when you exert your dominance over me?” she said. She bit her lip.
“Oh goddess,” Kai groaned. He kissed her and started moving inside her. His mouth left hers and traveled down to suck on her breast. Her hands raked through his hair as she made sounds like she didn’t know people were listening and watching.
Kai made his way to her neck. On the opposite side as the other marks, he found his spot and sunk in. Pain, pleasure, connection. Thea pushed the feeling out to the pack. Not long after, they both came.
Kai pulled his canines out of her shoulder, licked his mark, saw the design forming, then kissed it. He put his forehead to hers.
“I always knew you were special. Our mark is gold,” Kai whispered, smiling. “Now there’s nowhere you can run I won’t find you. You’re mine, darling.”
“I’m yours,” Thea said, smiling. “I love you, Kai.”
“I love you, Thea.”
He stood up, bringing her upright with him.
Thea felt like there was more that needed to be done. It felt like they needed to all join together and push their bond through to the pack. She turned to tell Conri and Alaric, but they were already on their way over to join her and Kai, untying their robes. The triplets could hear her thoughts now because of the marks. She didn’t have to speak out loud.
Kai lifted Thea off the table, her legs wrapped around his waist. He sat down then laid flat on his back, Thea straddling his hips. His hands caressed her legs at his sides.
Thea didn’t have to tell Conri to get behind her and in his favorite spot. Convenient that he had to be behind her to reach his marking spot properly. The goddess really did design the triplets for her. Conri got under her robe, pulled her juices up, and, to his surprise, slid right in. Usually, it would take a bit of coaxing before she telaxed, but the magic that flowed through them didn’t want to wait.
Alaric stood in front of her and gently held her head. She trailed her hand up his leg, grabbed his shaft, and guided him into her mouth.
“Remember to let our connection grow and push it through to the pack,” she said in her mind.
They nodded, and everyone started moving. Kai on his back. Conri on his knee. Alaric standing. The magic grew and flowed through them. When they were close to climaxing, the triplets converged on Thea. Kai sat up to reach his mark. Alaric knelt, taking his cock out of Thea’s mouth. Her hand stayed on him and continued stroking as he found his mark. Conri was already in position. They all bit down on their marks in sync. Magic flowed through them when they mated individually, but together, it was like a tidal wave. They all pushed that connection through to the pack, and the energy flowed back and forth, building and growing exponentially. When the four on the dais came, it sent a shockwave through the crowd. The whole pack felt love for and connection to everyone else in the pack. Gasps erupted in the crowd. People started hugging each other, and they all felt tingles and sparks at the contact —not of arousal but kinship.
Thea understood that she and the triplets had the power to form and strengthen the familial bond between every pack member. Holding the mating ceremony allowed the pack to experience it together and further strengthen those bonds. This was a pack that would fight for each other, work for each other, help each other, love each other.
The triplets retracted their canines and licked their marks until they closed again. The three designs expanded and linked together, making a beautiful, intricate pattern.
Conri pulled out, Thea dismounted from Kai. Everyone stood up. The newly mated four tied their robes and faced the crowd. The triplets took their regular spots around Thea. Kai and Alaric held her hands. Conri’s hand squeezed her hip.
The crowd howled in celebration and joy. Half the people were crying.
The Alpha, Luna, Beta, and Beta’s wife walked back on the dais.
“The future of our pack is strong!” Alpha Ulric shouted above the crowd.
Roars of agreement echoed him. People shifted to their wolves and howled.
“Let’s hunt!” Alpha Ulric shouted. He shifted to his wolf and led the way into the woods. The pack stripped, shifted, and followed him.
Luna Ada hugged Thea and each of her sons. “That was a moving ceremony. You did amazing. This mark is incredible.” She traced it with her finger, and a tear fell from her eye. “I have to go join the hunt.” She gave them one more hug, then shifted and took off into the woods. Naomi came up to her daughter, tears in her eyes. “I’m so proud of you, Thea,” she said. “That was the most powerful ceremony I’ve ever experienced.” ‘
“Our dad is saying we should join the hunt,” Alaric said. “ But you have to stay here with Delta team.” He looked at Thea to gauge her reaction. “Do you want me to stay with you?”
“I don’t want to leave you,” Conri said. He held her tight. “ I need to be touching you.”
“You have to go be Alpha,” Thea said. “All of you.”
“Can’t they take care of it?” Conri said.
“Con, you can have me for the rest of the night. First, you have to do this.”
He kissed his mark. Sighed. “Okay.”
“I don’t like leaving you,” Kai said.
Thea pulled him close, put her lips to his ear. “Every second you’re gone just makes me want you more. I’ll be putty in your hands when you get back. Or maybe I’ll be aggressive. We’ll just have to find out.”
Kai squeezed her. “I love you,” he said.
“Alright,” Alaric said. “The sooner we leave, the sooner we’ll be back.”
Thea reached for Alaric and hugged him tightly. She kissed his neck, and he kissed his mark. They let go of each other.
“I’ll see you soon,” Thea said. She tried not to feel sad, knowing they would feel it through the matebond. They needed to go and be leaders for the pack.
The triplets looked for Thea’s Delta team guards, saw the entire team close by, then dropped their robes and shifted. Each wolf nuzzled Thea, sniffed and licked their marks, then ran off.
