Consider the Lilies Epilogue
Stefan
Steam rises all around me, making my face sweat. But I refuse to add any cold water to the bath. The hot water feels too good. It pulls the dull ache out of my knees and hips. My shoulders are still too tight, but at least I’m getting some relief.
“How are you feeling?”
I look up just as Bear steps into the bathroom. It’s unfair how good he looks in a simple pair of sweatpants. “I’m good.” I smile, but I can tell from the look on his face that he’s not buying it. And he shouldn’t. Despite the soothing oils Jessica added to my bath, I’m still restless.
“Talk to me, Stef.” Bear sits on the edge of the bathtub. His abs flex as he leans forward, brushing his hand down my cheek. “You seem off,” he says. “Is everything okay?”
I lean into the alpha’s touch, and my stomach cramps a bit. It’s been doing this off and on for days now. It’s not the searing pain of a heat, but dull. Almost achy. It’s a bizarre sensation.
And I can't help but feel like it would all go away if I could just be with Yuki.
My she-alpha hasn’t been feeling well the last few days, and Jack won’t let me anywhere near her. He’s scared I’ll get sick too. I understand his worry—omegas have much weaker systems than alphas—but she’s my mate, too. I should be allowed to be with her.
“What can I do for you?” Bear asks as he pushes the wet hair off of my forehead. His blunt nails gently scratch my scalp, making me hum.
“Is Yuki back yet?” I look up at my mate, praying she’ll be home soon. They’ve been gone all morning. Jack and Lucy took her to see a doctor. I’ve checked my bond with both alphas all dang day, but outside of a single moment where I felt both of them experience something like shock, our bond has been completely silent ever since.
They’re blocking me out on purpose and it’s starting to scare me.
“It’s okay, Stef.” Bear cups my cheek. “They’re on their way back from the clinic now.” He leans down, bringing his face to mine. He smells like heaven—worn leather and soft musk. “Are you feeling a little anxious, baby?”
I force a quick smile. “I’m fine,” I lie, and Bear’s dark brown eyes narrow as he gives me a pointed look.
“You know that we’re bonded, right?” His gaze drops to the overlapping mating bites on my neck. “I can literally feel the pain in your body.”
I press my lips into a firm line, then place my hand over all three of my bites. Yuki once said she’d bite me on the other side, but in the end she marked me right over Bear and Jack’s. It hurt like hell, but I love that they’re all touching. I just wish Lucy could mark me too, but betas don’t have that ability any more than omegas do.
“Be honest, omega.” Bear drops his voice to a deep, sexy rumble. “Do you need your alpha to tend to you?”
Without even thinking about it, I instantly nod. “Yes, please.” I quickly pull the plug, making the water drain.
Bear laughs as he helps me up and out of the bathtub. He wraps me up in a thick white towel, then carries me into the bedroom. I’d normally insist on walking, but my hips hurt too much. It’s like there’s rust in my joints.
“Bed or nest?” he asks.
“Nest,” I say firmly as my gaze falls on the perfect pile of blankets on the other side of the room. Last year, Jack replaced all the couch cushions with a proper nesting-mattress and canopy, then he bought me all new materials. Every stitch of fabric has been scented by my mates, too.
It’s the perfect spot—Lush. Warm. Safe.
“May I enter your nest, omega?” Bear’s dark eyes sparkle as he looks down at me. He’s my formal alpha when it comes to being allowed into my nest. He always asks so sweetly. Jack and Yuki stand and snarl at the edge, waiting for me to invite them in—and I always do—but not before making them wait.
“Yes,” I say, eager to be touched.
Bear steps into my nest, then he carefully sets me in the center. He tugs off his sweats, flinging them away, before slowly opening my towel. He slips one big hand down my chest and stomach, then over my hardening cock. His dark eyes follow the movement of his hand, and a deep rumble leaves his chest when a drop of precum pushes from the tip.
“Fuck,” he growls, sending shivers through me. “Let me taste that.” He opens his mouth wide, then sucks me deep into his throat. He bobs his head up and down.
“Alpha!” I gasp when he cups my balls, tugging just the way I like. Hot slick pours from my eager body and I spread my legs wider. “Please.” I channel my fingers through Bear’s thick hair. “Give me your cock.”
My sexy alpha growls deep in his chest, as he releases my cock. “Does my omega need to be fucked?” He crawls up my body, positioning himself between my legs.
“Please.” Painful desire grips me, making me whine.
“Such a good omega,” Bear places his palms on the back of my thighs, forcing my knees up to my ears. “So eager for my cock.” He pushes his hips forward, filling me inch by glorious inch.
I gasp as my hole is stretched painfully wide, then hum when his hips fall flush with mine.
“So fucking tight,” Bear praises me as he kisses me deeply. His soft beard tickles my nose and chin, while his big cock moves in and out of me. It eases the ache in my belly.
My sexy alpha set a steady pace, thrusting in time with my heart. Then he slows, pulling his cock almost completely from my body before slamming back in once more. I lift my hips as he does it again, desperate for more friction.
“Bear,” I snarl as he continues to tease me. “Stop torturing me!”
A throaty laugh leaves the alpha’s chest. “Do you need my knot, omega?”
“Yes,” I pant as he buries himself deep inside me once again. “Please. Give it to me.”
Bear pounds into me, and slick friction builds between us. A rising pleasure coils in my belly, making my cock twitch and leak precum all over my stomach. “That’s it,” he growls when my inner walls squeeze his thick shaft. “Come for me, Stefan.” He pistons his hips, pushing deeper and deeper. “Give me that cum.”
My body breaks apart as wild pleasure consumes me. Slick pours from my hole and cum erupts from my shaft. My thighs shake right as Bear roars out his own orgasm. His knot expands, then pops deep inside me, making another spurt of cum push from my tip.
Slowly, my body calms and I fall limp against my nest.
“Wow,” I pant, squeezing my eyes shut tight.
“Such a good boy,” Bear hums, kissing my lips softly. He cradles my face, loving me through the aftershocks. “Is that better?” he whispers in my ear.
I want to say yes, but a deep ache in my ribs grips me.
This isn’t right.
I need Yuki….or she needs me? I’m not sure, but I have to see the she-alpha. Right now.
“Bear,” I scrunch up my face in pain as a cramp makes my abs flex.
“Stefan?” He holds my face in his big hands. Deep worry fills our bond, but it’s quickly pushed aside as a flood of emotions slam into me.
Fear, excitement, confusion, panic, hope, and a thousand other things swirl in my head. But I can’t tell if they’re from Jack or Yuki…or both.
“We’re back.” Lucy pushes open the bedroom door. Her bright blue eyes scan the room, before finding us in my nest. “Are we interrupting?” The beta gives me a flirty smile, but it quickly falls when she sees the pain in my eyes. “Stefan?” She rushes across the room, her long red hair flowing behind her.
“Something's wrong,” Bear says to the beta.
“Omega?” Jack’s dark eyes zero in on me the second he steps into the room. “Are you okay?” There’s an urgency in his voice as he moves to the edge of my nest, but I don’t answer him. I’m holding my breath, praying Yuki will walk through that door next.
“What happened with Yuki?” I prop myself up on my elbows. It’s an awkward position with Bear’s knot buried deep inside me, but I can’t just lay there.
“She’s fine,” Jack says as he kneels. His black tie swings forward as he leans toward me. “Are you in pain?” I can feel his concern for me grow and twist. He’s terrified I’m going to fall into distress, but I’ll be fine. Once I see Yuki.
“I’m fine,” I say, unable to hide my growing frustration. “Where’s Yuki?” I demand to know.
“She’s coming up.” Lucy smiles wide as she steps up to the side of my nest. “Can I come in?”
I nod absentmindedly, still staring at the doorway.
Jack follows my gaze, looking over his shoulder at the door. When he sees it’s empty, he lets out an angry huff. “Come on, Yuki!” he demands and my she-alpha slowly steps into the room.
“You’re here!” My body jerks with the desire to run to her, but Bear’s knot holds me in place.
“I’m here.” A tight smile lifts the corners of Yuki’s mouth as she steps up next to Jack.
“See?” Lucy settles in next to me, caressing my chest, then brushing my hair out of my eyes.
“What did the doctor say?” I reach for Yuki, silently asking her to enter my nest. But the she-alpha doesn’t answer. She just looks shocked, staring at her feet as if struggling to find the words.
“He said that she’s fine,” Jack chuckles and points at the mattress, raising his eyebrows. I nod at his silent question, letting him enter my nest. He quickly strips out of his suit, tugging at his tie and popping the buttons on his shirt.
“Yuki. Please.” My mouth pulls down with worry. I want her to know how her silence is torturing me. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m okay, omega.” She tugs her tank off over her head, then pushes her jeans down. “I’m…” she takes a deep breath, then takes a single step into my nest. “I’m…”
“Spit it out!” Bear roars above me, making him yip when his knot jerks inside. “Seriously.” He glares at Yuki, then Jack. “I’m assuming you aren’t contagious or you wouldn’t be allowed in here with Stefan,” he says forcefully. “So what the hell is wrong with you.”
Yuki gives the bearded-alpha a stern glare. “I’m pregnant, asshole.”
Yuki
Even as the words leave my mouth, I can’t believe them. And apparently neither can Stefan. His mouth hangs open, shock stealing his ability to speak.
But seeing him laid out with his legs wrapped around Bear’s waist and a knot lodged deep in his ass has me struggling to concentrate. Stefan’s body is amazing. The soft outline of a few abs line the sides of his cum-soaked stomach and his legs are long and well-defined. He’s such a sexy man.
“Are you shitting me?” Bear asks. The anger etched between his eyes falls away as he looks up at me. “Are you really pregnant?”
“It’s true,” Jack says as he settles right behind Lucy. He wraps his arms around the naked beta, palming her soft tits. “She’s about two months along.” He smiles at me like I’ve done something amazing. But I haven’t. It was just dumb luck.
“We got to hear the baby’s heartbeat.” Lucy lets out a happy sigh. Her blue eyes sparkle when they meet mine, and her smile grows.
I hate how happy everyone is. Especially since Stefan has yet to say a word.
“Stefan?” I look at my shocked omega. Desperate to know what he’s thinking.
“I…I…” Stefan stutters, his bright green eyes still locked on my face. But he doesn’t say anything else.
Silence drags out between us and my fear begins to spiral.
About a year ago, Stefan had told me how bad he felt that he couldn’t give us a baby. I, of course, told him that I couldn’t care less about having a baby. But the truth was that I knew exactly how he felt.
As a female alpha, I have the same struggles with fertility that he does. The fact is, she-alphas rarely conceive just like male omegas. He said it was nice having someone that he could share that struggle with, but now I’m pregnant and all I can think about is how devastated Stefan must be that he isn’t the one carrying our young.
Bear lets out a joyous laugh, pulling me from my thoughts. “This is amazing!”
“Careful,” Stefan winces, then he lets out a sigh of relief as Bear’s knot deflates. The alpha’s long, hard cock slides from Stefan’s body, followed by a stream of pretty white fluid. The smell of sex hits the air and my clit begins to pulse.
Fuck, I’m horny.
Unable to stop myself, I sit down next to Stefan, happy when he scoots a little closer. “Tell me what you’re thinking,” I say, bracing myself for the worst. I just hope he doesn’t hate me too much. “Please, Stefan.”
“I…” He shakes his head for a second, then a slow smile fills his face. “I’m so happy.” His voice cracks and tears gather in his green eyes.
“Really?” I search our bond, unable to find anything other than genuine happiness. No jealousy. No anger. Just pure joy.
“We’re having a baby!” Stefan flings his arms around my neck, holding me tight. I instantly pull him to me, wrapping my legs around his hips. The cum on his stomach squishes between us, making me shiver with excitement.
Calm down, I silently command myself. But it’s no use. Having my omega near pulls the tension from my shoulders and eases the knot in my chest, allowing me to concentrate fully on my growing lust.
“This is unreal,” Bear’s voice is soft with awe. “I can’t believe you’re pregnant.” I can hear the smile in his voice.
I’m relieved to know that he and my other packmates are happy, but right now all I can think about is my omega’s sweet floral scent. I drop my head into his neck, inhaling deeply. Deep fear has consumed me since the second the doctor told me why I was throwing up, and right now, it feels like I can finally breathe.
“You don’t hate me?” I whisper against my mating bite. I kiss it once, making him shiver.
“Hate you?” Stefan leans back so he can see my face. “Why on earth would I hate you?” He looks genuinely offended by my question.
“I told you,” Lucy says with far too much sass. “Stefan could never hate you.” She looks so smug wrapped up in Jack’s arms. The pack alpha seems oblivious to the conversation going on around us as he kisses her neck and shoulder, nipping at her flesh.
She and Jack spent the whole car ride home assuring me that Stefan would be overjoyed, but I just didn’t believe them. It also doesn’t help that I’m terrified that I’ll be a horrible mom, but Lucy also pointed out that there were five people in this pack who were going to raise this baby, and the burden of being a parent doesn’t sit solely on my shoulders. I know she’s right. My sweet beta always is, but the fearful voice in the back of my head is sometimes louder than she is.
“You once told me that you felt bad for not being able to give us a baby,” I say to the omega. I feel bad for reminding him of that sad conversation, but I can’t keep this in. It’ll eat me alive if I do.
“Yuki,” Stefan says my name like I’m being silly. “I feel bad that my body doesn't work the way it’s supposed to. I’m an omega. My kind are supposed to have babies.” I open my mouth to protest, but he quickly speaks up, not giving me the chance. “But now my gorgeous she-alpha is having our baby.” He presses his palm to my still-flat belly. The simple touch makes heat bloom between my thighs and I hold him a little tighter.
“And now,” Stefan presses his forehead to mine, “I get to love and cuddle and adore this baby because that’s also my job.” His face brightens like it’s the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to him.
Bear snorts loudly. “With Yuki’s genes, this kid is going to be a terror. There will be less cuddling and more sparring.” The alpha smiles like he can’t wait.
“Not necessarily,” Jack says. “The babe might take after our sweet omega.”
“Me?” Stefan snorts as I press my nose to his temple. His scent is so sweet and addicting. It takes everything in me not to lick the side of his face.“There are two alpha males in this pack,” he says. “It’s more likely that you’re—”
“Nope,” I whisper in his ear, excited to share this part of our news with him. “Lucy realized the timeline in the car,” I say. “Jack and Bear haven’t come inside me in months.” I stare deep into Stefan's eyes, waiting for him to realize what that means.
Stefan’s hands fall from my body. The poor boy looks floored—eyes wide, mouth open, and arms hanging limp at his sides.
Finally, he looks up at me and gives me the sweetest, most brilliant smile. “Holy shit.”
Stefan
I search my memory, trying to remember the last time Jack or Bear came inside Yuki. But I can’t. While both alpha’s still pleasure Yuki with their hands and tongues, they prefer to fuck me while I’m inside Lucy or Yuki. Don’t get me wrong. They still rut Lucy all the time, but lately, Yuki’s only been lying with me…and now we’re having a baby.
“I fathered a baby,” I say, still struggling to believe it. “I didn’t even know it was possible for male omegas to father children.”
“Of course you can,” Lucy says. “You have the same equipment as any other man.”
I smile at her kind words, but considering how much more impressive Jack and Bear’s members are compared to mine, it seems like it would have been easier for one of them to make a baby over me.
“We’re having a baby.” Yuki lets out a little laugh. The vibrations push through her chest into mine, making my belly tingle. My cock begins to grow and the ache in my joints completely fades.
Fear slams into me, and I push the she-alpha away, breaking our hug. “You shouldn't be near me!” I blurt out, then scoot away from her, but Yuki grabs my arm, not letting me go. “I’m not feeling well,” I say, desperate to get away from her. “I could get you sick. The baby—”
“It’s okay, omega.” Jack laughs, and I glare at the alpha for being so casual about something so serious. “The doctor said you might have some physical side effects to Yuki’s pregnancy,” he says with a chuckle.
I tilt my head to one side, not sure what he means. “I’ll have effects?” I ask and my pack alpha nods.
“Oh yes,” Lucy quickly speaks up. It’s like the beta has been waiting all day to tell me this. “The specialist at the clinic said that Yuki’s hormones will affect you the most since you’re mated. The doctor said you’ll even have many of the same symptoms a female omega does.” She raises her fingers as she lists them. “Craving your mate’s touch, extreme irritability, obsessive nesting, needing to connect with her.” She leans in and says, “And spending time apart can make you sick.”
“That makes sense,” Bear says, and I frown.
It doesn’t make any sense, but I really don’t care anymore. The only thing that matters is that Yuki is home, and I’m allowed to touch her. I need to touch her.
“I don’t want to be that asshole,” Yuki says as her lust-filled gaze drifts up and down my body. “But I haven’t seen my omega in days, and if I don’t fuck him soon, I’m going to break everything in this fucking room.”
Something deep inside me slides into place and my body instantly responds. Slick gathers between my legs and my cock stretches long and hard. “Yes, please,” I purr, leaning into my alpha’s arms.
Yuki growls softly, cupping my face. “Fuck, you’re stunning.” She crashes her mouth to mine, kissing me deeply.
Hands touch my arms and back, moving us so Yuki is on her back. “Fill our girl up,” Lucy whispers in my ear. “I want to taste you two together.”
Yuki breaks the kiss, and I open my eyes. The she-alpha beneath me is gorgeous. Her long black hair frames her face and there’s an excited blush in her cheeks. “Give me what I need, Stefan.” Yuki lifts her knees, baring her pretty pussy to me.
My hands tremble as I grab the base of my cock. I push the crown up, slipping my shaft between her puffy folds. Precum weeps from my dick, slicking her entrance.
Without any warning, Yuki digs her heels into my ass, plunging me deep inside her. I yell out as our bodies slam together, then moan when her pussy clamps down on me. The pressure is insane, hot and tight.
“Fuck me, Stefan,” Yuki begs, then she opens her mouth wide as Bear brings his cock to her lips. She eagerly begins sucking him and I start to thrust.
“Oh, yes,” Lucy leans down, bringing her face to Yuki’s swollen clit. The beta laps at the tight nub, slipping her tongue over my shaft with every roll of my hips.
“How does our girl feel?” Jack moves behind me. His rock-hard cock presses against my ass and more slick instantly gushes from my body. “Is she sucking you in, nice and deep?”
“Yes,” I pant when he circles his hand around my throat.
“Don’t stop!” Yuki moans around Bear’s cock. I love my she-alpha like this: desperate and horny for only what I can give her.
“Is that alpha pussy going to milk you dry?” He nips at my shoulder and my balls draw up.
“Jack,” I whimper his name, telling him that I won’t last much longer. I want Yuki to come first, but my pleasure is building too fast. Omegas aren’t built to last like alphas do. Our bodies are designed to take the pleasure our mates give us.
“Fuck him, alpha,” Yuki stares right past me at Jack. Bear’s cock still is in her hand, the alpha trying to push it back into her mouth. “Fuck our sweet omega into me.”
Jack places one powerful hand between my shoulder blades, then he forces me to lean forward. I angle my body the best I can with Lucy still lapping at Yuki’s clit. Jack’s slick-soaked cock teases my ass, then he pushes forward. My body welcomes him, opening and stretching as he buries himself to the hilt.
The room fills with the wet, sloppy sounds of sex. Yuki moans loudly as her orgasm quickly builds. Bear curses under his breath and Jack slams into me, fucking me as hard as he can into Yuki’s tight pussy.
“Give it to me, Stefan!” Yuki demands right as her legs begin to shake.
Swift pleasure rolls through me like a wave crashing onto the shore. I moan, then grunt, as I spill my seed deep into my she-alpha. Jack fucks me even harder, forcing Lucy to sit up to keep from getting crushed. Pleasure is still wafting through my body when Jack fists my hair and ruts into me, forcing his knot deep into my ass. Yuki’s own orgasm slams into her, and her pussy clamps down. I scream from the pressure, and my body jerks as I come again.
Electricity ricochets throughout my body and my vision goes white.
I’m being squeezed and milked, sucked dry of every ounce of pleasure my body can create.
My energy is gone. I’m limp, draped across Yuki’s soft chest.
I’m vaguely aware of the alpha behind me, caressing my back, and the she-alpha beneath me, cradling my weak body with her thighs. Bear whispers soft words of praise while Lucy brushes the hair off my sweaty forehead.
“That’s a good boy,” Yuki whispers, then she kisses my cheek. “You take such good care of me and our baby.”
Pride blooms in my chest, followed by sheer joy.
Our baby.
Our sweet, beautiful baby.
