Page 88 of Ruined Omega

While Baen continues sucking and licking my newly pierced nipple, Tal settles his pelvis between my open thighs. He drags his hard dick across my stretched and knotted hole, brushing against my new clit ring.

All three Alphas close in more snugly around me, enshrining me in the walls of flesh and muscle that are their bodies.

“An omega’s pleasure is a sacred thing,” Tal whispers against my mouth, gently brushing his pierced lips against mine. He kisses me once, then again more deeply. “Now we will worship you, Hines. We will worship you all night long.”

CHAPTER 29: HINES

When I wake up, I’m not even sure what time it is. The Temple of the Source is deep underground, with no windows, so it retains the same dark, warm, cave-like quality around the clock. But a quick look around leads me to believe that it’s the wee hours of the morning before sunrise.

I’m basing that guess on the fact that all around the huge, open room, Alphas are sprawled out snoring with their omegas. There are a few soft moans and grunts, however. Somebody must still be up.

My own Alphas are curled protectively around me, forming a nest of bodies. Their bodies are hot as furnaces, and their warm breath swirls and covers me like an invisible blanket.

My mind drifts back to that night, less than a week ago, when I fell asleep in the nest in Tal’s apartment, bundled up in his rich, Alpha musk.

God, so much has changed in that time…

The sound of voices conversing drifts across the still air, and I raise my head to peer over Baen’s muscular shoulder at the Source. I recognize Lily and Sloane over there. They are talking to Seraph. The AI’s holographically-projected face hovers over them, casting a cool, blue-tinted glow across that side of the chamber.

I decide to go see what’s going on.

My three Alphas are all dead asleep. They hardly even stir as I stealthily crawl out from between them. Protective as they are, that maneuver would normally wake at least one of them up, if not the whole pack. But tonight we are in the Temple of the Source—the safest place in the entire Quarantine Zone.

I tip-toe until I’m a few paces away, then I walk to the center of the room, carefully stepping my bare feet over the coils and rivers of cables twisting over the cool, hard metal floor.

As I get closer, Lily sees me approaching, and her face brightens a little.

“Hey Hines,” she says with a naughty smile. “What did I tell you? It feels pretty good, right?”

It takes me a second to realize what she’s talking about. My piercing. A blush comes into my cheeks.

“Oh leave her alone, Lily,” Sloane says, noticing my embarrassment.

It’s funny, I have no real reason to be embarrassed. Yes, I’m totally naked right now, but so are many of the Alphas and omegas in this big room. Lily herself is nearly naked, too, dressed in only a loincloth, and Sloane is the same.

But I still haven’t quite gotten used to it, so I decide to deflect the conversation away from me.

“So what are you talking about over here?” I ask.

Lily nods toward Seraph’s big holographic face. “I’m trying to get more details about how the Source and the mutation works. But talking to Seraph here is like pulling teeth.”

The AI’s artificial face turns toward me, and I freeze.

“Hines, I am glad you have joined us. I have a question for you, actually.”

“Wow,” Sloane whispers from where she’s standing on the other side of Lily. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard Seraph ask a question before. Usually we’re the ones doing all the asking.”

The AI ignores her, or perhaps it simply doesn’t hear, and proceeds with its question:

“Shelley Hines, I see many things within the Quarantine Zone. But I do not see all. Even my field of perception has its limitations. However, I do know this…when you ventured into the Zone, your transformation into an omega took an unusually long time to complete. Several days, in fact. Can you tell me, Hines, what was the cause of this inhibition?”

While I’ve given Lily and Sloane a broad overview of my journey, I haven’t given them all the details.

In particular, I’ve omitted the parts about the medicine.

Even during my time in the city hive, when I was communicating with them via email, I only gave them news about the general goings-on in the city hive. I didn’t tell them then that I had stolen some of the cure from SynerGen, and I didn’t tell them that I was trying to figure out a way to make more of it. Considering how firmly devoted they had both become to the Zone, I wasn’t sure how they would feel about the idea of a so-called cure for their omega condition.

In fact, I no longer look at it as a disease.
