Sarah povLazarus looks between Lenox and me, obviously confused. His eyebrows furrow together, but after a moment, he chuckles, shakes his head and takes a step back, raising his hands in surrender. "As much as I believe it would be for the best if I stayed around, the rules are rules, and you won the chase, brother." I gape at him. No way the biggest of the Alpha brothers gives up that easily. I expected, at least, a little bit of fight and arguments if only one would catch up to me. Not that I wanted any of them to chase after me in the first place. God, as much as I love Talia and the fact that she's back, one of these days, I will strangle her. I get it, she's more outspoken and daring than I am, but taking away my choice was wrong. She let me down by offering my body for those two men to use. I'm sure Talia wouldn't be happy if I ran around and told every man in my way that he could fuck her. *Sarah, I didn't mean it like that,* Talia jumps up as soon as she catches on to my
Lenox povSarah walks around the cabin as if the place is sort of a wonderland in her eyes. If she wants to act like Alice, all she has to do is tell me, and I'll show her some tricks we can do about that rabbit hole. I slump on the couch and grit my teeth at her intense scent. The woman reeks of need for a dick, yet I act like a moron and offer her a stupid chat. I knew I had to stick to my ideas rather than listen to my brothers over the years- both Laz and Luka think it's healthy to build a connection with someone I fuck, but for the love of topless Jesus Christ, how much time will I waste on that shit?"Hey, kitty cat?" I call out for Sarah. She jumps at the sound of my voice and turns around. "Yes?"Her face is flushed, she's clearly fighting against the heat, so if I don't use this chance, I'll be an absolute champion of morons. Besides, I can use her heat as an excuse and end up as prince motherfucking charming for helping her. Shit, I'm a genius. "I think you are wildly ea
Sarah povLenox is crazy, or he might be, but I feel like his crazy might be rubbing onto me. Since when I am the woman who drops to her knees and asks a man to fuck my mouth? Especially a man I know damn sure would rather die than let the opportunity slip?My eyes follow Lenox as he jumps from the sofa, steps right in front of me, cups my cheek, and growls, "Open wide."I lick my lips and follow the command right as Lenox drops his pants to his ankles and groans as his erection nearly slaps me across my face. I guess the stories about the youngest sons are true after all, and some things I remember from the playroom are too. Lenox is huge. How the hell am I supposed to get this thing down my throat now? Did it grow?His eyes focus on his pants for a second, and Lenox adds, "It's not gay if you're wearing socks." I almost lose my composure and start laughing when he looks at my face and innocently asks, "What?" Yep, his brothers were right and didn't even exaggerate when they describ
Luka povThere's still no answer from the Council of Elders, even though I was sure they would let me know their verdict hours after the letter reached them. Or at least that's how it always has been. The main reason I addressed my letter to Elder Richardson is that he's an old friend of mine, and we have been discussing the possibility of returning my father's lands to its former glory. Not long ago, we actually discussed how many shifters were shocked to find out that our father agreed to share our mother with three more men, but in time, everyone admitted that it was the best decision they had ever made. One woman was all it took to keep all four Alphas in check. While my father ensured the lands and people were safe, he had three very powerful Alphas at his side working on side things such as building a better education system for kids, paying more attention to healthcare and increasing the trades with other territories. While many assumed their ruling would turn into complete
Luciano povMy wife, no, I mean our wife, is an absolute nightmare hidden in the body of a Goddess. Sometimes I wonder if our Seth mastered the ability to look completely clueless, naive and innocent just to fuck with us. And now, out of all days, this had to be the one when I'm stuck alone with my pregnant woman while the rest of the guys left for the town. Sure, we need to stack up on some food if we want to keep Seth safe until the due date, but she's been totally busting my balls about everything and everyone. To make matters even worse, because, of course, there has to be more, one of our sons called her, and apparently, the boy is sleeping with some super cat my wife just has to meet, no matter the consequences. If there is any God, he or she will help me because I swear, I'm so damn close to smashing my head against the wall until I break my skull and paint the wall with my brain, as ever. "Luciano Vincent, get your ass over here and help me put on these socks before I poop
Sarah povOne thing I learned about the Alpha brothers is that they all are men of their word, including Lenox. Just mere seconds after he promised to carry me outside, he did just that, and the moment he stepped outside the cabin, Lazarus appeared out of nowhere. The brothers know each other better than anyone could, so the next time any of them say something, I'll make sure to listen to and remember every word. My eyes lock with Lazarus while Lenox scans the surroundings. I'm so lost in the weird experience that I didn't notice when Lenox took off his clothes, but apparently, walking completely naked through the forest doesn't seem to bother him, even with a woman clinging to him like a koala. Lenox hums, and a wicked grin spreads across Lazarus' lips as if the brothers can communicate without words. And maybe they can, they're triplets after all, and this wouldn't be the first time I notice them discussing something without words, especially with Luka. "Up to you, kitty cat. Me
Sarah povI stare at Lazarus as if he just grew another head in front of my eyes. All my life, I've been told that men can't hold themselves away from what they want, from what they desire, and definitely can't fight their nature. Yet, here he is, a perfect example of how it's possible. Out of all men, Alphas are the ones who have the most intense animalistic instincts, and somehow, Lazarus still stands here and offers me a choice despite everything I've ever been taught. I gulp and shake my head. "No," the word leaves my lips as a whisper, so I clear my throat. "I might be nervous because this is my first time, well, it will be my first time sharing my body with two men at the same time, but I want it. It's one of those fantasies I've always been too scared to fulfil, but I trust you both. I know that you and Lenox won't hurt me, so I want it. Please." Lazarus keeps staring into my eyes as if he seeks even the tiniest bit of doubt or fear, but I assume he can't find it because he
Sarah povLazarus is right. At first, the feeling is rather unpleasant, painful even, but the more Lenox withdraws and slides back his fingers, the feeling turns somewhat pleasant. Bit by bit, my body relaxes, and the few times Lazarus' length twitches inside me, an instant moan leaves my lips. I close my eyes and let my body take the lead. Overthinking is the worst thing to do in any situation of life, but especially in those that are meant to be enjoyed and experienced rather than thought throughout. "I think you're ready," Lenox mutters. His voice is barely audible, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to hear him. Lazarus, however, hears him perfectly and answers with a growl. "She better be, I don't want to hurt her, and you shouldn't want that either."I open my eyes to glance at the Alpha under me and watch how a sly grin spreads across his lips. The next moment, I feel the tip of Lenox's erection pressing against me. Bracing myself, I expect the worst, but as usual, Lazarus is
Sarah pov I gulp as I scan the faces of the men in my room. A part of me wants to have Seth by my side, but she’s too good to stick around now. The thing I mentioned earlier, the possibility of terminating the pregnancy- it was my idea. I spoke about it and Seth just held my hand and said she would support me regardless of what I do. I saw the tears and pain in her eyes, I saw how much against the idea she was, but being the amazing woman she is, Seth stood by my side. And she would now too, but this time, I need to listen to the men who love me and make the decision with them. Only them. My mind races, thousands of thoughts run through the deepest parts, and each scream something new. Should we know what’s hiding inside our baby? Sure, the possibility of it being evil is small, but even a good being wouldn’t take over a body that isn’t born yet without a reason. Than said it himself, the holy beings come here to stop the evil deeds and this situation is too grand for him t
Sarah pov It’s not so much that Than makes me nervous, because he sure as hell does, it’s more his words that leave me speechless. He’s implying that whatever is living inside my body must be someone who’s sent for a greater good. There’s no saying if he could be right or if he’s tricking me, but the look on his face doesn’t resemble someone who’s coming here to play games. Besides, technically, he has no reason to fool me. His daughter lives inside Lenox, he has an obvious attraction toward Seth, and so far, he has proven himself to be worthy. Maybe he’s the one person I should listen to? “Okay, so what do we do next?” I ask, probably sounding a bit too uneasy. Not that he could blame me given that the past events keep piling up and the entire family seems to lack time to deal with the issues. “Nothing. We wait,” Than leans back in his seat as the tension finally leaves his features. At this point, as confused as I am, maybe he is right. Perhaps sitting back and waiti
Luka pov Lazarus stares at dad with the same confused, shocked, and wide-eyed expression as I do, but as it seems, it’ll take a while for my brother to come back to his senses. Possibly even too long, so this time, I have to step up and give him a break. Turning my full attention to dad, I clear my throat and slightly tilt my head as I speak, “Whatever is your idea about this situation, you can’t blame us. The last time we were with Lenox, he promised to follow us in a bit. We talked to Sarah and just left the room, and as you might have noticed, both of us kept glancing around. We were looking out for Lenox and decided to wait for him here.” Now, dad’s facial expression mimics ours, and all of us look like a bunch of very confused idiots. “That means you didn’t give Lenox a damn blessing to go there?” Dad turns his attention back to Lazarus. My brother shakes his head, still somewhat shocked, yet slowly regaining his senses. I have no idea what dad is thinking right now, but no
Sarah pov“You have to be kidding me,” I groan as I close my eyes and try to grab control over my emotions and senses. In all honesty, I’m a bit over everyone telling me what I’m supposed to do. No, perhaps not even just a bit- a lot, damn it. One person comes in here to tell me it’s better to do this, and the other arrives to tell me the complete opposite. How am I to make the right decision if everyone seems so indulged in my life that they need to make the decisions for me, or even try to shift my judgement?Isn’t this the one matter that I should discuss with my partners and come up with the best thing to do for our future? Yes, I already made the mistake of thinking that I had all the right to make this choice on my own, but thank God, Lazarus opened my eyes and reminded me it’s as much my decision as it is his brother’s. But now, there’s a demon sitting next to my bed and claiming I can’t even think about the termination. Does he have any idea who resides in my baby? What if
Lenox pov“Holy fucking sticks and bricks, let me shit myself while you’re acting all mysterious and dangerous, why don’t you? Come on, tell me and I promise I won’t steal shit here,” I grin at the blob and hide my hand behind my back to cross my fingers. For as long as I keep them crossed, no one can claim I lied. Alright, I’m lying, I still fully intend to steal something, but the creature doesn’t need to know. “Follow me, but for those answers, keep in mind that everyone pays a price,” she whispers as if she’s trying to make a fucking deal with me now. What the hell is even happening? I promised mom I wouldn’t make a deal with the devil and this thing before me looks like I imagine a devil would. I want the heart, but the price? Yeah, for as long as I don’t know what it is, I’m not that keen to exchange my left nut for the heart. I need my left nut. Panic seizes me as images of this, whatever it really is, ehem, woman, grabbing my nut, runs through my mind. I quickly lift the
Sarah pov “He’s right,” I let out a long, shaky breath as I admit the one thing I wish I wouldn’t have to admit out loud. Lazarus might have reacted to my words in a way I didn’t expect him to, but at least, he didn’t shy away from telling me everything he thinks of the decision I’m trying to make. Regardless of the circumstances and setting, I can’t make the choice on my own because Lenox is present. Often, women have to carry the burden of life-changing choices on their own simply because they are alone. But I’m not. And I know that I won’t be even if I pressure the matter and the choice, I thought was the right one. But what if it’s not? What if Lazarus is right in more ways than I can think of? What if the next time Lenox and I try for a baby, we have to face the same situation as now? I know, we don’t have much time to make the decision, but we also don’t know how dangerous the thing is that’s taking over my baby. “What do you mean?” Seth asks, concern crossing her fea
Lenox pov~If you do this, I will never forgive you,~ As snarls at me as I hop through the shadowy, eerie-looking forest. Shit, this place feels like home. I could totally see myself living here, building a small cabin and all that nonsense. While As keeps fuming, I stop to take in the scenery and enjoy the silence surrounding me. The tree branches look like they’re ready to grab my body and gut me on the spot. How hot is that? I can almost imagine how I could take one of those fucking vile-looking branches and make myself a new, exclusive spoon. Maybe that thing could have a mind of its own and attack people on my commands?Once I’m done with my task, I might grab a souvenir on my way out of here. While my mind wanders to beautiful possibilities, As can’t seem to shut the fuck up, so I snap at her. “Because I should forgive you for nearly killing my brother, huh? Real smooth, Miss As, real fucking fantastic ants farm smooth.” She scoffs. ~You forgot who keeps you alive.~ Yeah,
Lazarus pov“Kill the baby?” The question leaves my lips before I can stop it. I didn’t intend to be so straightforward or come across as a complete asshole, but sometimes, even if I try my darndest, I can’t stop myself from saying some things. All eyes in the room focus on me. I guess saying something in the lines as Sarah did, the fancy wording of termination and all, seems more humane than the actual truth. All things aside, that’s exactly what she’s saying. She is planning to kill the baby. I raise my hands and shake my head. “We need to discuss this. All of us. Just think of the possible consequences and the reaction Lenox will have to these news. Like it or not, he’s the biological father of that child, and he has a say too. Yes, it’s your body and your choice, but thus far, I haven’t heard anything from you that implied that you didn’t want this baby. In fact, you appear to be rather happy about the possibility of becoming a mother.”Everyone in the room sits silent. Sarah
Luka povWhen Laz and I step into Sarah’s hospital room, she’s already wide awake, grinning at our mom. My heart skips a beat at the sight before us. Not only the adoration in the eyes of the women I love the most but I’m taken aback by how much at ease Sarah appears. Her cheeks are slightly flushed, so I assume they were sharing some secrets or spent the time laughing at their weird jokes. However, despite the cheerful energy that surrounds them, I can’t help but feel a little suspicious. As they smile at us, I notice how the smiles don’t reach their eyes and it’s all the confirmation I need to accept that something’s wrong. Not only wrong but they’re also trying to hide it from us. Whatever it is, I’ll figure it out sooner or later, because just like Sarah said- if we want this to work, we must remember how important communication is. Sucking in a deep breath, I brace myself for the possible backlash but still go with the initial plan and dive right in, “What’s wrong?”Sarah a
