The rutting of a male wolf was not as easy as he imagined, and that was something Dante knew well. What he hated most was how much it hurt and how devastated he was afterwards. And even though he was now a bonded wolf he would never ask his mate to spend his rut together with him. The very easy reason: he was sure he would take him so hard and so deep, bite him so hard and devour him to such an extent that he would be the one who couldn’t get up for days afterwards.

And he wouldn’t risk it.

He had even prepared everything so that Lukyan wouldn’t realise that his heat was about to come and had devised a whole plan pretending that he would be visiting Lucian, or whoever, so as not to give him a hard time.

But, firstly, Lukyan was very perceptive, and secondly, she had already realised the situation because he was getting very mellow. Much more than he usually was, and he sought him out at all times, not caring if he was in the middle of work.

Before, when he was single, he only knew that his heat was coming due to an increase in his pheromones and a pain in his nether regions. But, now, it was as if from before he wanted to mark everywhere, his scent on his partner and lure him to his bed to have s*x until he got him pregnant again.

But no, he couldn’t do that to Lukyan.

He was sure there would be nothing more delicious than to make love during that time and fill him with her scent until his stomach swelled, and then break the news to him that he was pregnant again. However, her husband had had many back-to-back deliveries and her body had barely had time to recover. She was an omega, yet, at the very least, she would need about 50 to 70 years to be able to have a puppy and both be safe. Yes, he was aware that the reason Aidan had been born healthy and Lukyan endured was because of the alpha b***d in his system, otherwise he was sure he might have lost them both.

For that was a fact. He would not spend his heat with Lukyan. It wouldn’t leave him in a state and it wouldn’t endanger him.

Or so he thought.

-Why won’t you let me spend your heat at your side? -He was blocking her way, standing in front of the door.

Dante felt a bead of sweat trickle down his temple. For some reason the secret had slipped out of his very closed cycle that was Dmitri, Falco and Edgar and had reached Lukyan ears. He didn’t know which of the three had betrayed him. He didn’t think Falco, but there was her husband Bastian, who had perhaps cajoled him and after getting the information out of him ran straight to Lukyan. From Edgar it was almost impossible, the wolf was a tomb. Or maybe from Mitya? He didn’t think so, he was also very secretive… but he met a lot with Matias, and Matias was Lukyan’s eldest son, and…

-Answer me Dante,” the omega’s voice brought him back to reality.

He shook out his hair.

-I will not endanger you. My heat is very powerful. I’m very aggressive. The rooms I’m in always end up all trashed, especially on the second day, which is the worst. I tend to bite a lot, mark everywhere. I don’t want to have to open my eyes and replace your body full of marks from my fangs almost tearing your skin,” he shook his head.

-Those are minor details that can be solved with certain things. Be more creative.

-Lukyan,” Dante growled.

Sometimes his stubbornness could be an inconvenience, and it wasn’t like he wanted to argue with him either. He hated that. He loved his wolf and having to fight with him was no fun at all.

-What’s wrong with me wanting to spend my mate’s rut with him? -He crossed his arms over his chest, “If you’re worried about anything else, let me know.

Dante turned and paced the room like a caged beast.

-I already told you, I don’t want to hurt you.

-I can take care of that,” the omega looked very confident.

-I don’t want to get you pregnant either. At least not now,” she tried to keep her voice from being so abrupt and quickly spoke again, just so he wouldn’t get the wrong idea, “I do want to have more puppies with you, but not now. Your body needs to recover and adapt. I don’t want to force it any further. Please understand me.

Lukyan watched him walk as if he was suffering with himself. He smiled slowly and approached him. Dante tensed as he touched him. The muscles in his arms were marked significantly and he was in a cold sweat. He was scared, he was afraid of hurting him and Lukyan knew it.

He carried him over to the bed and sat him down. Then she straddled him and kissed his lips. A tender, soft k**s where the alpha’s hands cradled his h**s and squeezed. Dante was so desperate and yet he trembled slightly.

-What if you trust me to set everything up? -Lukyan whispered against his mouth.

The alpha’s eyes darkened and he denied.

-I trust you, my love, but not me for this. I am not in control when I am in heat and I would not forgive myself for hurting you.

Lukyan placed each of his hands on his alpha’s cheeks and kissed his forehead, nose and lips again.

-Dante, rutting is part of your life and mine too. To keep from getting pregnant there are options I can use, and to help keep you from hurting me, there are others as well. But I can’t stand by and watch you suffer alone on those days. I’m an omega, do you think I can’t resist it,” he kissed her cheek tenderly.

Dante was still reluctant and frowned. She hugged him tightly against him and breathed in the fragrance of his neck.

-I will only allow it if I am sure that all measures will be taken. If you cannot bear it, please run away, leave me behind. Be safe,” his arms squeezed her tightly as if fearing she might vanish like water, “God, I must be mad if I’m agreeing to do this,” he growled.

And with that Lukyan knew he had won. Now, he just needed to take drastic measures to make the experience halfway pleasant for both of them.
