My One and Only Alpha

Chapter 17

The ceremony was in two hours, and Louis had absolutely no fucking clue what to do. Harry had disappeared a little while ago, something about, "You're not supposed to see me until it starts, Kimi. And besides, Ianalfto has to do a pre-ritual with me." Louis thinks it's traditionalist bullshit, but nevertheless, he was obediently sitting at home, surrounded by his omkin and wringing his hands from his nerves-waiting until the sun would hit its highest point in the sky.
"Don't be nervous, Louis," a softly-spoken Kurt tried to comfort. "This is cause for great joy."
Louis' omkin all nodded their confident heads, but the Omega wasn't giving up his fear. "What if they don't actually like me, and everyone will laugh or...or...turn away from me? I mean-"
"Lemme stop you right there," Draco interrupted, taking Louis' hand and forcing his gaze to meet his own. "You are our Pack Alpha's true mate. This tribe holds you in the highest regard-even the ones who were previously assholes about it. I can assure you they've all seen the error of their ways. Second, you know Harry would never put you in an unnecessary situation that frightens you. This is something you have to do, and I know you want to...so you need to trust Harry to make everything okay. Let him ease your worries; he is your Alpha, after all."
Surprisingly, that speech seemed to help, and Louis took a few calming breaths, calling Harry's soul up to the forefront of his own so he wouldn't feel so frantic. "I can feel him," he said breathlessly, smiling with closed eyes as he basked in the spiritual thrum of Harry's presence.
"Let him wash over you. Bring him close enough that it replicates the feeling of being in his arms. That's what we do when our mates are away," Peeta encouraged, doing it himself with Katniss because he couldn't speak of such a thing without joining in.
Louis squeezed his already closed eyes and focused his mind on his soulbond, summoning it as he would summon his wolf because that level of concentration seemed the way to go. Pretty soon, he felt a warm, almost vibrating sensation wrapping around his body like a blanket, and an additional overload of mental support, lovingly calming his stress as only Harry possibly could. "Gods, this is wonderful," he breathed in amazement, happy to have succeeded in a full bond summon on this especially worrisome day.
"We haven't gotten used to it-even after all this time," Niall chuckled, working on doing it himself as Louis and Peeta had because the temptation was too great.
Soon all the Omegas had gotten excited and called their Alphas' spirits forward, sighing periodically as a bonded spirit hum was formed. They turned around in their sitting circle and fell backward onto Louis and Harry's bedding, sprawling out to look like a giant flower.
Draco began to moan in obvious pleasure, and Louis turned his head, nose bumping into the Omega's cheek. "Didn't know it felt that good, Dray," he teased.
Draco licked his lips and opened his eyes, turning to address his brother with a deep blush on his cheeks. "Needless to say, our Alphas know when-when we're doing this, and sometimes they send...special messages. Oh-or feelings. Parsel in particular loves to send energy to my-(moan)-to my p-prostate. He makes it f-feel like his...his knot," he stuttered, biting back another loud, sensual exclamation.
"It's okay, you know. You need release; go for it," Peeta encouraged, flipping onto his stomach and resting his chin on his palms as he smiled at his writhing brother across from him.
Draco didn't wait a second longer, sliding his hand into his bottoms with a gasp and drawing his cock out. He then began to stroke himself, whimpering and grunting while Louis snuggled up against him for support. In fact, all the Omegas scooted back or flipped over to give as much skin contact to Draco as they could. They knew it would be frustrating for him to be without Parsel in this moment, so they offered as much external feelings as they could give. Draco cried in bliss as his hand sped up, and it didn't take long for him to finish, painting his chest with an alarming amount of come-the omkin's fast reflexes had been the only thing to save them from getting it on their hands too.
They all laughed together and gave Draco some space, and Louis handed him a clean-ish rag to wipe off with. "Thanks, loves. Parsel is lasciviously...merciless. Or mercilessly lascivious, take your pick. So am I, though, that's why we work so well," he chuckled, returning his cock to the confinement of his pants and wrenching himself into a sitting position, twitching as he did so. "Louis, you don't know this, but there was a time earlier on in our bond when it legitimately didn't matter where we were, we were mating."
"Oh, I can attest to that, you dirty bastards," Niall snorted, rolling his eyes in bemusement at Draco and Parsel's many glorious escapades. "You could have been spending Omega time with us, and Parcey would actually just run up and knot you mid-conversation," he recalled behind infectious giggles, highly entertained by Louis' scandalized expression.
"Yeah, and the time I was locked on Parsel's knot during a council meeting while they spoke of pack business," Draco added deviously, that unforgettable instance coming to mind. It had been during the early days of their relationship, after their emotional bonding under the tree, and they'd only shared two heats and ruts together. Draco had been getting close to his third with Parsel, and was probably only a day or so off, so he'd been wily all day, and Parsel being away from him hadn't helped.
He'd walked on especially weak legs toward the council house and had quite literally kicked the doors open, turning all eyes onto him and causing Parsel to stand in alarm. He'd snapped his fingers to make his Alpha sit back down, which he had, and then Draco had waddled over with slick-covered thighs to Parsel's spot on the council table, and seated himself down on his lap, ensuring he rolled his hips and whined so his intent was blatantly clear.
Parsel had groaned in desire and immediately checked with Harry to see if he would allow a mating in the middle of a meeting, and Harry had agreed, so long as Parsel could not only keep it quiet, but concentrate and stay on topic as well-Parsel loves challenges. The Alpha had taken Draco's quilted long-sleeve top off and covered his pelvis with it as he slipped off his bottoms for him, spread his legs to hang over the sides of his thighs, and well...you can guess the rest.
Discreet hadn't really ever been a word to describe that council meeting mating, but they'd certainly tried. They'd been doing alright, only making small sighs and staying in their seat as Parsel gently thrusted up into him-but that had all crashed and burned when Draco fell forward onto the council table and arched his back to present, something all Omegas instinctively did when they wanted their Alpha wolves to fuck them with reckless abandon. And he'd gotten what he asked for.
Parsel, helplessly overtaken by his inner Alpha, had instantly stood them up and fucked him hard over (and eventually on top of) the table, growling and snarling in pleasure as loud as he damn well pleased (which had made Draco screech like Niall), and no amount of Harry's extremely annoyed snap of Parsel's name could make the Alpha stop until his knot was secured.
Harry never let anyone mate during a meeting again. And if he did, it certainly wasn't Parsel and Draco. They'd been banned.
"That kind of stuff never happened in Siksika," Louis mused, pulling Draco out of his fast-paced recollections. "It's fascinating to see so much openness of our bodies here, and the connections we have with our mates," he sighed in approval, falling more in love with Chehalis by the day-he truly had been born for this place.
"Harry and you not mating in public yet is just that-yet," Peeta hypothesized, willing to stake a bet on it because a Pack Alpha always liked to show off. Or, so he assumed.
"Possibly. He seems pretty private to me, but maybe there will be times where that won't always be the case. Have you and Katniss ever...mated in public?" Louis asked, curious of the whole concept and if it truly was as commonplace as kissing.
"Couple of times, yeah. So have Zayn and Niall. And I was too young, Kurt may remember, but you used to have to be careful when going into the armory, or you'd find Chibs and Jax on the ground," he teased while Kurt burst into cackles from remembering all the times he'd interrupted that very thing.
"Yeah, Gods, that's so true," Kurt sighed as he came down from his high-pitched laughter, dabbing at his eyes and rubbing his palms together. "That's where they'd originally mated, and eventually bonded; they went back there all the time. Not just there, but everywhere. They were always knotted. Where is Jax anyway?"
"He's technically an Alpha, so he can't be around Louis right now," Niall informed, his eyes narrowing when he realized how stupid a question that had been. "You know that, Kurt."
"You know...that's really kind of stupid? Jax is just as Omega as the rest of us," Louis argued, his face falling as he mourned over the inequality of their Alpha omkin.
"Yeah," the other Omega sadly echoed into the room, seeming to share a moment of silence for their missing member.
"Louis, Zayn just said everything's ready, and it's going to start soon, so we should get going," Niall said randomly, nearly crossing Louis' eyes in confusion.
"He just said?" Louis repeated dubiously, figuring he must have heard that wrong.
Niall smirked and tapped a pointer finger to his head. "You'd be amazed at the kind of things you can do with a soulbond. We've been practicing ever since he was gone that extra day when he brought you here. You'll have to work on it with Harry-just you wait," he said mysteriously, biting his lip to hide a grin when Louis blinked his big blue eyes at him in fascination.
"Alright, let's go make you Chehalis royalty," Peeta exulted, making the omkin yip, and Louis choke.
"Here goes nothing," Louis chorused as he stood atop his bedding and made for the exit, clutching his chest as he led the way into just a little bit more of his destiny.
