“Dahlia?” Dyllen repeated in surprise.
That was the last person he expected to help, not because she wouldn’t but because he didn’t expect Eician to ask another alpha, albeit a girl.
“She sprained her wrist yesterday and came to the clinic to get Skye to heal it. He’s started wearing a lot of Linus’s clothes now that his morning sickness has started. You know, for comfort when he’s feeling sick. So we were talking about it and she offered to bring me one or your shirts. I didn’t think she would actually do it and now, I owe her a fresh batch of sweet rolls.”
“She stole my shirt to give to you in exchange for sweet rolls?” he repeated slowly.
A nod against his chest was the only reply he got from Eician who seemed about ready to sink through the bed in embarrassment.
“You could have asked me, I would have given you one.”
Dyllen’s brain just about short circuited at the words and if Eicianhadn’t pressed his hand against his cock through his pants, he might have checked to make sure that’s what he was meaning.“You sure?” he asked, voice cracking with need but like hell was he going to fuck this up.Eiciannodded, biting his lip as he stared down at Dyllen, hand still firmly in place. “I want to. I have done this before…just not…”he trailed off,looking uncertain but the alpha knew what he meant.He had done whatever it was he planned before with the other alpha, being forced to pleasure him against his will. Which meant that while he technically knew what to do, he wasn’t sure how he would react to doing so.Dyllencaught himself wondering if Eician was planning on using his hands or mouth and had to push that thought away to keep his focus on the omega.Righ
It took a moment for Dyllento sort through the stammer and process what Eician hadsaid.It was then that he realizedEicianwas beyond embarrassed, he was downright mortified.His face was a brighter red than Dyllenthought possible and he wouldn’t meet his eyes.Relief that he wasn’t the cause of the stutter followed by amusement at the reaction flooded through him.“So what you’re saying,” Dyllensaid slowly, partially to make sure he had heard correctly but a small part of him was enjoying making the omega squirm. “Is that no matter how much you stroke that pretty little cock of yours, you can’t get yourself off? That the only time you have ever gotten off was on an alpha’s knot?”A small nod met his words and Dyllengrinned.Oh, he was going to enjoy showing Eicianreal pleasure when he could finally touch him like he want
“Oh shit,” was all Dyllen could come up with in reply, eyes growing wide in alarm.Anxiously,Skye stripped it down, shredding the leaves in his fingers almost unknowingly.Eicianlooked between them in confusion and mounting concern.“Boss disagreed but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I haven’t told anyone else, I don’t want to freak everyone out just in case. But an old alpha who has lost his mate and wants to see how his youngest son is doing? I only met him once, the same day I met Boss for the first time, but looking back, I think he regrets not being closer to him.He spoke fondly of Boss and it seemed more like Boss was holding a grudge than he was.”“We are not prepared to have a fucking monarch here,” Dyllenhissed, lowering his voice. “We have no fucking fortifications, and our minimal watch won’t keep out any fucking assassins
“It’s snowing!”Dyllengroaned above him as the bedroom door was flung open.Loud footsteps thudded against the wooden floorboards and Eiciantried to press closer to the warm body beside him.“Fuck off,” the alpha grumbled then snarled, jerking upright as Kadence’s gleeful laughter could be heard as he dashed from the bedroom.“FUCK!”Eicianyelped as a few stray flecks of snow fell off Dyllento land on his warm skin. He quickly brushed them off before bundling himself up more in their blankets, stealing all of them off of Dyllenas well. The alpha grumbled as he threw the remnants of a snowball onto the floor.“You little shit!” he roared, earning an even louder laughter from the kitchen.Now that Eicianwas awake, he could hear the yells and laughter of a snowball fight in full swing outside.It warmed him to hear wha
As soon as Dyllensaw who their envoy was, he knew they were in for trouble.He had never met the king before but the resemblance to Linuswas striking. Looks like Skyehad been right, perhaps the old alpha was getting sentimental and wanted to reconnect with his son.Whatever the reason, all Dyllenwanted was for the royalty to do what he wanted then get the hell out of there. Their little garrison was not set up for this kind of visitor and just who the imposing alpha was would come out soon enough.Reniel, one of Brite’s new alphas, led the small group from the rough entrance of their village through to where Dyllenwas training his kids in the clearing at the centre of all the houses.Where the fuck Britehad run off, he had no idea, and he cursed the other alpha for leaving him to deal with this shit. Their horses were already being led off to the stables and Dyllenwondered why the hell they wou
“Did I do something wrong?” Dahliaasked after Dyllendidn’t immediately speak.They sat side by side on a large tree stump that Skyehad commandeered to be a bench in his garden.One day,it would be sheltered by a huge apple tree, but for now,it offered them a degree of privacy while everyone else finished up dinner in the mess hall.“Nah,” Dyllenreplied easily, amused that’s where her mind first went.“I just wanted to talk to you about Kadence.”Dahliastiffened up at the beta’s name and Dyllensighed, wondering where to start.A moment of thought didn’t help him and he decided to speak his mind, muddled though it might come out. She was a smart girl; she’d figure out what he was trying to say.“You can ignore him as much as you want but it’s not going to get him to stop. Not now, after all this time.
“But to be so unprotected amongst a group of good-for-nothing sell swords…” the fool trailed off as his eyes finally settled on Linus. His expression morphed from confusion to surprise to disgust. “You! You’ve forsaken His Majesty to become one of them?!”“Shut your fucking mouth,” Dyllengrowled out, cutting across the conversation as he stopped in front of the table where his kids still sat. He turned to cast his scowl at the idiot making a scene, feeling a headache coming on. “Now tell me one fucking thing, who the fuck did you tell on your way here?”The other alpha’s lip curled up in contempt even as he stepped back at Dyllen’s words. A display of disdain to not seem like the intimidated coward he was.“Teruo,” Enjisnapped, looking increasingly incensed. “Answer the question. Did you tell anyone, ANY ONE at all?”“Of course,
Slowly, Dyllen’s wandering hand began to move again.It travelled lower to cup one of the omega’s ass cheeks and kneaded the flesh.Eiciangasped, not expecting that level of arousal to shoot through him. Dyllenmoved to press kisses to his jaw, working his way back to his mouth.Slick dripped down his thighs and he could feel the wetness pooling on the blanket where he sat straddling Dyllen’s waist. A small gasping moan tumbled from his own lips as a thick finger inched around to probe at his hole and he tightened his grip on his alpha.“Easy,” Dyllenmuttered as he moved to mouth at his neck, leaving Eicianfree to make sounds. “Just relax.”There was no pain when the solitary finger breached his hole, only an odd stretching sensation that quickly morphed into heat and pleasure. It was like nothing Eicianhad ever felt before and he shuddered in Dyllen’s grip a
