Work Text:
Rumi has been running most of her life.
What was now something she enjoyed doing while studying for her degree, it had been a must for her since she presented as an alpha. Although she was too young to participate in the mandatory yearly Run, her appa had sat down and explained what was required of her and every unmated person when she was old enough: participate in the Run to find a mate.
Rumi had listened to every word Celine had said, stubbornly claiming at the end she didn't want to mate with anyone. Her appa had a glint in her eye, the kind that told Rumi her parent knew something she didn't, but had given her the answer to her freedom: running.
Younger Rumi had a new motivation from then on: be able to run faster and longer than everyone else in order to outlast others during the Run and remain mateless.
Celine was supportive in her new goal. Her appa had helped her sign up for her school's track team, attended events, and even joining in some of her runs around the neighborhoods. With this and her classes, the years flew by until her first Run. The smell of excited first Runners, and the occasional alpha in rut or omega in heat, did little to delude her in her goal. Once the horn sounded, Rumi ran. And ran. And ran. Until the horn sounded off again and she was free for another year.
The high of her win lasted though the first few days of college, until she met the most aggravating alpha she has ever met: Mira.
She wasn't sure why Mira set her off on their first ever meeting, but Rumi was never one to back down from a challenge. It didn't matter if the other's alpha smelled good to her, or made her heart race from something other than the running, or if the barbed words they sent each other slowly grew to be more teasing than bite. Nope, Rumi just had to show her she was better at the sport, even if she was a middle distance runner and Mira was long distance.
So, of course Rumi had to pay attention to Mira by watching her run when she was done with her own races. How else could she see what place the other alpha got? Trust what she says? Halfway through the semester she would, but she had already gotten used to waiting to shower with Mira.
And, oh, how she loved showering with Mira.
Going from stubbornly looking away from each other as they washed up, to shyly glancing at the other woman's naked body, to openly staring at each other with the other knowing, Rumi didn't growl out a warning when Mira's hands eventually landed on her body. Instead, she let the other alpha touch her with a purr, leaning back into Mira's front as the other began to wash her.
Soapy hands slid over her skin, moving along her curves and washing away the sweat. Rumi couldn't help but let out whimpers as Mira teased her, hands coming close to her breasts and crotch but always trailing away. By the time Mira pulled her into the shower's spray, she was sure that soap wasn't the only thing running down her thighs.
She couldn't help but moan as Mira's hand finally, finally dipped down, fingers trailing through wet pubic hairs before pressing against her clit. Mira's name and soft pleads fell from her lips as the other slowly brought her to her orgasm. Rumi's body shook in Mira's hold before slouching against the other alpha, her chest rumbling with purrs.
When Mira went back to washing her, Rumi had offered to take care of her as well - the shower was still thick with Mira's arousal as Rumi's own dissipated and the clean smell of soap hung in the background - but the alpha had only pressed their lips together briefly before purring, "next time."
And so the next time, and all the times after that Rumi had dropped their rivalry for something else, something unspoken until the next semester when a wonderful ball of energy ran into their lives: Zoey.
Rumi didn't believe the youngest alpha when she told her and Mira that this was her first time running as a sport, as Zoey was the fastest sprinter she ever saw. Her jaw was on the ground along with Mira's as the cheerful alpha jogged up to them after finishing first sprint, her breath not even winded as she preened in front of them.
It didn't take long for Zoey to dash right into their friendship.
Without the rivalry, her and Zoey's friendship had fast tracked into the same thing she shared with Mira. Rumi wasn't surprised when Zoey fell to her knees before her in the almost empty locker room, her chest erupting in pleased rumbles as Zoey nosed the front of her shorts. Unlike Mira, Zoey didn't waste any time teasing her, her hands quick to pull down the layers of fabric to reach her goal.
Rumi couldn't help the pleased trill that escaped her throat as Zoey's tongue lapped her soaked cunt, her fingers quickly sinking into black hair to keep the other alpha in place. Zoey let out a pleased hum, the vibrations traveling straight to Rumi's clit as her lips encircled the sensitive bud and sucked.
She was so caught up in her pleasure, she didn't register the familiar smell of Mira until she was panting from the aftershocks of her orgasm. Her chest squeezed in panic at the sight of Mira, mouth opening to gasp out some sort of explanation - only for Mira's lips to press against her own. Rumi felt Mira's fingers to twine with hers on top of Zoey's head as she guided Zoey to her own shorts, the youngest purring as she did.
Soon, all of Rumi's days were spent with Mira and Zoey at some point of the day. Practice, events, or even hanging out on days that didn't have any running at all was filled with them. Her chest felt light whenever she was with them, and it made the semester and following summer break fly by.
Until the announcement of this year's Run.
Rumi couldn't hold back the fear scent she emitted, even in the comfort of her own bed and two warm bodies beside her. Her eyes remained focus on her phone's screen as she shakily tapped the email labeled "Required: Run Date and Locations." The two bodies shifted next to her, one face burrowing in her bicep while the other lifted up.
"Rumi?" Mira's groggy voice failed to send shivers down her spine like it normally did. "What's wrong?"
Rumi hesitated, a fang bitting into her lower lip for a moment before she spoke, voice breathy as if she just got done with practice. "The Run."
Both Zoey and Mira's scents grew soft and comforting as they laid there. Zoey shifted, her cheek going onto Rumi's shoulder as she gently tilted Rumi's phone so she could see.
"The college's hosting a Run at the field and the forest behind it," Zoey paraphrased, for Mira's sake as the other alpha didn't move to reach for her glasses.
Rumi let out a wavering sigh as Mira hummed, her eyes closing as she let herself calm down from the news. Mira and Zoey's warmth on either side of her helped, and she nearly dozed off by the time Mira spoke.
"You could do the same thing you did in your first Run, if you wanted to," she murmured. "We wouldn't mind."
Zoey hummed in agreement. "Whatever you want."
Rumi let the words wash over her. It was true, she could just run away from everyone who was participating like she did a year ago. Most of the track team was already mated, and nobody else beside Mira and Zoey interested her, so she could outrun any unwanted suitor. She had bragged about it early on in the rivalry she had with Mira, and spoken about it offhandedly to Zoey once. She could do it again, but…
"I-" she started, pausing to wet her lips. "I don't think I want to do that anymore."
The smell of comfort switched to a spicy anticipation once the two women clocked what she was saying, sending involuntary shivers down her spine. She felt Zoey pull her phone out of her grasp as the youngest nuzzled into her scent gland where her shoulder met her neck, hearing it thud softly on the edge of the mattress behind the other alpha. Mira shifted, pressing more of her weight into Rumi as she propped herself up on an elbow.
"What do you want?"
Her eyes met Mira's as her fingers twined with Zoey's. "I want to be both of yours."
Twin purrs met her ears as Mira smiled down at her. "You already are."
Her own chest rumbled as Mira dipped down to press her lips against hers. The knowledge that whatever sort of unspoken relationship they all had solidifying into this made the kiss feel like it was their first kiss again. Her heart pounded in her chest like before, letting Mira take and take and take until she drew back.
A string of saliva hung between their lips for a moment as they both panted, breaking when Rumi's head was turned away from her. Zoey's purrs filled her ears as she, too, began to kiss Rumi. The heat in it was no less than Mira's, more so even. Sharp fangs dug into her lips, causing her to moan and Zoey to smile into the kiss.
Rumi couldn't help the small whimper that left her throat when Zoey drew back, teeth gently pulling on her bottom lip in a way that made heat swirl in her stomach. Her scent must have flared, growing heady and causing them to grow bolder. Hands ran across her clothes, heavy with intent as they slipped underneath it to caress and fondle her as they alternated kissing her.
Rumi couldn't help but keen loudly when Mira's hand dipped below her pants, bypassing her underwear altogether and sinking into her drenched folds. "Mira."
"She's so soaked for us," Mira cooed, fingertips circling Rumi's entrance. "Melting under our touch."
"Such a good alpha," Zoey said, smiling into Rumi's neck.
"Our alpha," Mira purred, sliding a finger with ease.
Rumi whined, clenching around the digit. "Yours. God, I'm yours."
Mira and Zoey's scents enveloped hers, claiming her like the lips on her skin and the fingers - oh, the fingers across her skin and inside her - that sent her higher and higher and higher- Rumi moaned when Zoey's fingers pressed against her clit, careening her over the edge as she called their names.
Her chest was rumbling when Zoey and Mira's fingers drew to a stop, with Mira's carefully leaving her. Rumi's eyes followed her fingers, shining faintly with her arousal, as they hovered over her face. Her tongue lulled out as she opened her mouth, eyes pleading up at Mira. The other alpha's gaze was warm, but stern as she held it away from Rumi.
"You'll prove it during the Run," Mira said, making a statement more than a request. "You'll catch both of us and claim us as our alpha."
Zoey let out a high pitched sound, more of a pleading whine as Rumi growled lowly. "As you wish."
Mira rewarded her with a pleased rumble and the taste of herself on her tongue.
The days after her confession was filled with anticipation, affection and so much sexual tension. After making her cum several times, her intended mates had drawn a line in the sand, only allowing brief moments of pleasure before they were ripped away. It left Rumi growling and restless, always wanting more. The two alphas had wanted to put themselves as prizes, and boy, Rumi was salivating for them.
In more ways than one, it turned out.
The morning of the Run had her wake with fire racing through her blood. From the moment her brain roused from sleep, she groaned as her hips ground into her mattress.
Her rut had arrived as well.
After painting the insides of her underwear with her cum, cleaning herself off with a washcloth as she groaned from the wet warmth around her still hard cock, and gently tucking her cock into clean underwear and her loosest pair of shorts, Rumi made her way to the field. Although the trip was short, Rumi was panting. Her cock was straining against the fabric of her shorts, and her nostrils flared from the various other alphas in rut or omegas in heat. Still, she followed her nose to her two intended.
Her heart - and cock - pounded when she laid eyes on the two. Zoey, as usual, was chatting Mira's ears off as they waited for her, but the taller alpha's expression was soft and affectionate as she listened. But as Rumi neared them, both of their eyes darted towards her.
"Rumi!"
Zoey's welcoming purr was music to her ears as she slid beside them. Her shoulders slowly relaxed as she took in their scent; Zoey's excited and sweet while Mira's was sturdy and spicy. Their sides pressed against hers - almost scenting her - as they sniffed the air.
"How are you feeling?" Mira asked, voice rumbling as her scent spiked.
"Better with you two," she admitted, smelling Zoey's scent grow heavy as well.
"Would be great once you're knot deep in us, right?"
Rumi sputtered as Zoey grinned at her. "Zoey!"
"You can't tell me that wouldn't be true though!"
Rumi couldn't. She let out a low growl, grumbling, "I wouldn't want to knot you where we could be seen."
Mira's hip bumped against hers. "Then fuck us so good we'll be begging for it after this."
"After she catches us."
The two of them shared a look, fangs peeking through their lips as they smirked. "Like we told her to."
Her dick throbbed at the thought, and she didn't have to wait long for the Run to start and push the imagination to reality.
As soon as the horn went off to signal the beginning of the Run, Zoey bolted from her side. The comfort Rumi had was quickly replaced with an irresistible urge to chase after her. She had wanted to let Mira know she was going to go after the younger alpha, but a quick swat on her rear and a low "go get her, tiger," in her ear was just as good.
So Rumi ran.
The few seconds of lead Zoey had on her was enough for the younger alpha to race towards the head of the pack. Pride for the other woman grew in Rumi's chest as she, too, overtook the other participants until it was just Zoey in her sight.
By the time Rumi had reached the tree line, her heart pounded in her ears as she made some headway to reduce the distance between her and Zoey. While Zoey was the fastest person she knew, the trees allowed Rumi to ever so slowly catch up to her, preventing the sprinter from going as fast as she could on the track.
In fact, it was a small cluster of trees that gave Rumi the opening to tackle Zoey to the ground. The two tumbled into the soft grass with a yelp - Zoey - and a low growl as they began to fight for dominance. It was, however, a very short fight, as Zoey's body relaxed nearly instantly under Rumi's as the older alpha pressed her fangs against the back of Zoey's neck.
Zoey let out a small, pleased trill as Rumi pressed her hips down against her ass, the noise and motion sending sparks up Rumi's spine. Zoey was hers. All hers. Rumi's chest rumbled, pleased at this new fact, and Zoey's echoed back with a purr.
A deep instinctual need to breed roared from the back of her mind, and, for once in her life, Rumi listened to it. She licked the red marks her fangs had pressed into the back of Zoey's neck, soothing it as she wrapped an arm around Zoey's torso and pulled her hips up. Her lips twitched up at the high pitched whine Zoey made, and her hand pressed against the softness of Zoey's stomach before slipping underneath the running shorts she wore.
A low whistle made Rumi freeze. Alarms blared in her hind brain at the unwelcome intrusion on her and her captured, and a harsh growl tore out of her throat as she snarled a warning. Her fangs pressed against Zoey's scent gland as her eyes darted towards the source of the noise, sending an unspoken signal that the alpha beneath her was hers.
When Mira's form came into view, the growl died off suddenly as Rumi stared at her. All the tension that she felt melted away in a heartbeat, as she sighed against Zoey's skin.
"Mira."
The other alpha's gaze felt heavy as Mira seemed to appraise the position she and Zoey was in. "Good job, but you're really going to claim her when you didn't catch both of us?"
The challenge rang in her ears as her instincts flared again, warring inside her. Zoey felt good beneath her, and the wet arousal on her fingertips made her imagine herself sinking into the source. But the way Mira's chin tilted up and displayed her unmarked neck with pupil blown eyes made her want to pin her down just like she had with Zoey.
She must've took some time thinking about what she wanted to do, since Zoey began to giggle underneath her.
"Go," Zoey said, knocking her shoulder back to hit Rumi's. "You can fuck me like this after you plow that look off her face."
While Mira's demeanor broke with a sputter, Rumi rumbled out a purr of agreement. "Deal."
Mira had the grace to wait until Rumi got off of Zoey to run off - although Rumi swore she only waited to watch as she sucked Zoey's arousal off her fingers, if the spike of Mira's scent was anything to go by. With how hard she was, Rumi was glad that Mira had a slower pace with Zoey. She pushed past the uncomfortable feeling, increasing her pace when she saw Mira's pink hair.
Like Zoey, Rumi tackled Mira to the ground. However, unlike Zoey, Mira snarled in response. When the two hit the ground, Mira began to fight back. Nails scraped against skin and clothing, fangs snapped in the air, and the only thing they could hear was each other growling as they both fought for dominance. The whole thing was exhilarating to Rumi, especially as she pinned Mira's hands above her head with her own and pressed her fangs against Mira's jugular.
"Submit," she growled, pressing her hips into Mira's.
The fight in the other alpha seemed to dissipate as Mira moaned, "Fuck."
Rumi gave a pleased rumble when Mira's hips rolled up into her thrusts, taking that as an answer to her demand. Movement in the corner of her eye caught her attention, but instead of making another warning snarl, Rumi purred as she saw Zoey getting comfortable on the nearby grass.
With both of her caught mates with her, her inner alpha preened as Rumi began to shed both herself and Mira of their shorts and underwear. She sighed against Mira's throat as the pressure against her cock went away, the unpleasant feeling being replaced with the warmth and wetness of Mira as her hips ground down. Mira's hands, now free, grabbed at her back as Rumi covered her cock with Mira's arousal.
"Rumi, please."
How could she deny her new mate?
With ease, she slid her cock into Mira. It was so, so much better than using a strap. Rumi could feel every squeeze and flutter Mira's cunt made as she stayed still to let her mate get accustomed to her size. She licked, kissed and nipped at Mira's neck and shoulders until Mira moved her hips with a whine.
"Fuck, you feel so good," Rumi panted as she began to thrust.
Heat swirled throughout her, her body finally giving to the rut by giving it her all. Every moan, squeeze around her cock, and scratch at her back spurred her on; even small whimpers coming from Zoey's direction drove her faster and faster towards her orgasm.
Rumi felt the base of her cock, her knot, knock against Mira's entrance. Instinct roared at her to press it in, but her earlier words echoed in her mind. Well, that and the slick noises of Zoey pleasuring herself that reminded her that she needed to claim both of her mates for the Run. Pushing down her body's want, she trailed her hand down Mira's body until she pressed her fingers against the other's clit.
"Fuck!"
Mira's body jolted from the extra stimulation, her cunt squeezing around Rumi's cock as she came. Rumi growled against Mira's neck, her fangs pressing against the other's scent gland lightly before sinking down into the flesh as she followed quickly after. Her mate - her alpha, her Mira - keened loudly as she clawed at Rumi's back and hitched a leg over Rumi's hips to pull her even closer as Rumi pumped her full.
Without the knot locking her in, Rumi could feel her cum trickle out, the warm liquid trailing down her knot before dripping onto the grass. Disappointment that it didn't stay inside Mira was pushed aside from her joy though. After gently taking her fangs out of Mira's scent glands, Rumi's chest rumbled loudly as she gave the bond mark a lick and kiss.
"Mine," she purred, affectionately scenting Mira before pressing a kiss against the other's lips.
"Mine," Mira echoed.
The two stayed like that for a moment, softly kissing each other as Mira's scent changed slightly to take on some of Rumi's and made a blend of the two. Happiness bubbled in her chest, and she was going to ask Mira to bite her too- but a loud whine beside them made Mira snort in amusement.
"You better get over there before she cums by herself, she sounds close."
Another whine. "I can't help that was one of the hottest things I've ever seen!"
Rumi chuckled against Mira's lips, pressing a final kiss against them before she moved. It felt strange to pull out of Mira, her body expecting to stay inside her due to the knot. But Rumi couldn't help but feel some sort of instinctual satisfaction when she saw Mira's pussy oozing with her cum. One mate bred, one more to go.
Zoey, thankfully, wasn't that far from the two so Rumi only had to shuffle awkwardly - cock still hard and with her shorts along her knees - for a moment before she was able to touch the other alpha. Her hands grabbed onto Zoey's spread knees as her chest rumbled at the sight of her mate pleasuring herself. With her shorts and underwear pushed down to pool at her ankles, Zoey had enough space to fit both of her hands between her legs. Not one, not two, but three of her fingers were curled inside her as the fingertips of her other hand pressed against her clit.
Gently, Rumi pulled on the wrist of the hand that had Zoey's fingers inside herself and brought said fingers up to her mouth. Dual moans erupted from Rumi's and Zoey's throats - from the taste and the sight respectively - as Rumi sucked the digits clean.
"God, just take me now," Zoey begged.
"Get on your hands and knees then, love," Rumi growled, nipping Zoey's fingers before she let her go.
Zoey was trembling - in excitement or arousal, Rumi couldn't tell - as she got into position, her scent flaring to entice as she presented herself. Her thighs and pussy was wet, wet, wet, and felt more than she looked as Rumi blanketed Zoey with her body. She took a moment to slide her cock along Zoey's folds, mixing her arousal with Mira's and her own cum, before pressing her cock inside.
"Oh my god," Zoey whined. "Holy fuck."
"Better than you imagined?" Mira purred from the side as Rumi hilted herself as far as she could with her knot.
"So much better! God, why can't we have dicks outside of our ruts?"
Rumi growled against Zoey's neck as she began to move her hips. "I'd want to fuck you both so much you'd never leave my bed if we did."
"Worth it," Zoey moaned. "So, so worth it."
Rumi nipped and licked at Zoey's skin as her mate fell apart underneath her. Intelligent words quickly morphed into almost incomprehensible babbles as Zoey's orgasm came to its peak. The only words Rumi could understand was her own name, some sort of variation of "please" and, of course, "knot." She was almost tempted to give Zoey that, especially as she squeezed so tight around her, but Zoey would have to wait like Mira was. Rumi hoped that a bond mark would suffice instead.
Feeling Zoey's knees slide on the grass, Rumi growled as she used an arm to hold up Zoey's hips as she increased the pace of her thrusts. Panting against Zoey's skin, she felt the familiar heat of her orgasm grow in her groin. Instinct howled at her again to tie herself to her mate, and in return Rumi bit down on Zoey's scent gland as she came.
Zoey's cunt squeezed around her as she came a second time, something that made Rumi purr in delight at. Again, Rumi was careful as she unclenched her jaw, giving the new bond mark a kiss. Rumi's scent swirled together with Zoey's, the other alpha's taking a hint of Rumi's just like Mira's did. A small, displeased part of her was disappointed that she didn't smell like them as well, but the sound of a somewhat distant horn went off, jolting Rumi out of that line of thought. That could be remedied soon, anyway.
While Zoey whined as Rumi pulled out, Mira stretched as she sat up. "Guess we should head back."
"No, we can go another round," Zoey pouted, causing Rumi to snort in amusement.
"I'd rather register as mates when we're all clothed and not fucking on the ground, Zoe."
"Aww, you're no fun."
"And, yet, you let me bite you."
Zoey's giggles was music to her ears as the trio helped each other up and got themselves as presentable as one could after having sex in the middle of a small, wooded area. The smiles on their faces stayed as they filed into the registration line, and Rumi's only grew larger as she presented both of her marked mates to the government required inspector.
With their names now marked down in the database, Rumi let herself be led to her apartment. Keys jingled, the front door opened and closed before she was pressed against it by both of her mates.
"Ready for us to mark you as ours now, tiger?"
"I've been ready."
