Chapter 6
About a half hour later Merlin spoke up "Arthur I have another question about the mating marks. You said that your parents have the third strongest symbol that is the wolf print. You also said that the strongest is the black wolf howling. I guess I am wondering what the second strongest is." Arthur chuckled at the question and the nervousness in his mates voice but answered anyway "Well that would be a crescent moon with a red aura around it." "That is interesting, I truly wonder what symbol our mark will take." Merlin wondered out loud "As do I, it will be interesting to see." Arthur whispered his tongue flicking out to lick his mates nose and Merlin returned the affection with a nip to Arthurs jaw.
They laid there wrapped in each other's arms for about another ten minutes before Merlin started to feel really strange and he tensed up immediately not understanding what was going on "Arthur's something's going on." Merlin voice shook with fear which Arthur caught to immediately "What's going on, maybe I can help?" "I feel really hot, I pressure building in my stomach, my senses have been incredibly heightened, and it is hard for me to think straight but all of my thoughts keep returning to you. I'm scared." Arthur understood now his mother had warned him a couple days ago that Merlin would not know what was going on so he would need to explain it to him and keep him calm. He pulled Merlin close to him nuzzling him slightly to help calm him "It is nothing to be scared of, It is just your body telling you that you are a about a two minutes from going into heat. My instincts and body have been keeping tabs on it for the last hour so I already knew it was coming.
You just need to keep calm it is not good for you to be stressed right now. For the first couple times until you relax just let me take control. Once you have relaxed enough we can do whatever we want ok." Arthur scratched behind Merlin's right ear to calm Merlin down more as that always calmed him down quickly when they were children. It worked just as well now as Merlin relax into Arthur's touch making a contented sound in his throat.
Not two minutes later everything intensified to an unbearable level for Merlin and he could not help the whimper that escaped him as he tried to form a coherent sentence "Arthur it's - I can't- I need." Merlin couldn't do it but Arthur understood completely what was happening and let that Alpha wolf in him take over just as Merlin's omega wolf side had take him over.
Arthur made sure they were both positioned so that he could look into Merlin's eyes the whole time. So they would both see how much the other wanted this. He did not bother preparing Merlin because his body would be doing that for him. Then he pushed into Merlin till he was fully sheathed inside of him, then he stopped for a few seconds letting Merlin get used to the feeling. He then started to thrust into him, all the while peppering Merlin's neck and jaw line with kisses and every once in a while claiming Merlin's mouth with his own. Not long after Arthur released all he had into Merlin as Arthur's knot slipped inside tying them together. Merlin was submissively barring his neck to Arthur instinctively, and Arthur's canines sharpened just a little as he nipped Merlin's neck puncturing the skin just enough to leave a mark. He then licked the area to sooth it
Both men came down from their high but still were tied together as would be for the next half hour. Arthur repositioned the both into a more comfortable position before he spoke "Get some rest Merlin, you'll wake when the knot breaks which won't be for a while. Once it does you'll be mine forever and I'll be yours." Arthur place a kiss on the mark he had made on Merlin's neck knowing that magic in their connection would not start to form the symbol until after the second time when Merlin would mark him. After that it would be about a day before the Mark would be recognizable.
They slept together for about an hour before both of them were woken by Arthur's knot breaking and Merlin's need for round two. Which was pretty much the same if not better only difference was that Merlin marked Arthur neck this time while they were tied together.
They could not think about anything but each other and each other wanted at that moment. Their rational minds were far away but their alpha and omega side were in full control. It was going to be a long and wild six days.
