Now, let’s get one thing straight, Lexus knew he was a fucking asshole. He never had and never would claim otherwise. All that being said, he’d never seen himself as a truly vindictive person. Not until Azrin’s first claiming ceremony where he was up for selection. The young omega had just turned fourteen and was already being sampled on the auction block. Lexus had never felt so murderous in his fucking life. Granted it wasn’t as awful as it could have been. Something he would learn as the years went on and Azrin got closer and closer to aging out. However, at the time, a fifteen-year-old Lexus had to swallow a challenging growl when the pre-rutting teen alpha snubbed his brunet with a rough snap of his jaws causing the freckled omega to whine and cower. The incident had triggered a pain in his heart the blond hadn’t thought he was capable of.On their way back to the manor, Azrin cried. While that was nothing new, the silent sizeable tears accompanied the most wretchedly depressed p
Honestly, Azrin had known his waking expectations had been unrealistic. They had both always been early risers, but Lex had this obnoxious habit of waking with the dawn. The groggy Brunet had woken to an eager alpha chuffing breathily against his nape. He hadn’t been wrong per se, as Lexus was in fact warm and wrapped around him rather soundly.“Lex, what time is it?” he questioned, his voice thick and raspy with exhaustion.“Ah Shit. Sorry Rin, it’s the ass crack of daybreak. Though, I’m sure you already knew that. I didn’t mean to wake you, I just couldn’t stop myself once I started,” The blonde admitted sheepishly.“Hmm, it’s fine. Are we packing my room up first or yours?” Azrin responded as he began rolling himself over to meet his alpha’s gaze.“The hag has already conscripted the help starting with my quarters. You and I are just supposed to work on “getting to know each other” and yes, she did in fact waggle her eyebrows suggestively,” Lexus informed. The inflections in his vo
If Azrin had answered with the first thing that came to mind, the answer would have been a resounding ‘yes’. However, true to form; he hesitated, and decided to think his response over. Logically of course. He was sure his brows were furrowed contemplatively as Lex let out a resigned sigh, attempting to allow the omega to work through his mental process.First and foremost, Azrin thought that rejecting Lexus completely was not a good way to start off their courting phase. So, he felt like he should for the alpha if not for himself, and yet, now that he was thinking about it; he was unsure. I mean, seeing someone naked…and actually touching…and his anatomy… and just... it was different, right?“Az, I need you to get out of your fucking head and talk to me,” Lexus rumbled out as he ground his hips down and into the Brunet’s jolting him out of his thoughts.“I- sorry, I just - I want to say yes, I- Just, but-,”“But?”He stopped, pulling his bottom lip between his fangs, and just stared a
“We’ve talked about this, like five times now. I’m a fucking alpha, you slicking is like the best fucking thing ever. Also, for the record, it’s not my first time seeing an erect cock Azrin, as I fucking have one,” Azrin could hear the roll of Lex’s eyes in his voice.“That is not the same thing, and you know it,” He countered.“Ok? So, mine has a fucking odd sack of loose skin at the base of it. It looks fucking weird as hell, as I’ve never fucking popped a knot. Sooooo, out of the two of us, I like yours better,” Lexus’s admission of finding his own body strange had Azrin contemplating the alpha’s words.“Do you really feel that way about yourself? Or are you just saying it to make me feel better?” Azrin whispered it quizzically, causing Lexus to look up at him.“It’s the truth. Though, it’s also true, that the only reason I’m telling you, it bothers me at all, is to hopefully make you more comfortable,” The alpha shrugged glancing away for a moment before bringing his eyes back wit
Azrin didn’t move, cry, or panic in any way. The omega had been wondering when Lex would finally snap, and in an odd sort of way he was glad for it. God knows the omega had had enough breakdowns in the last twenty-four hours to fill his quota for the month. So, with that in mind he allowed a small smile to grace his lips before redirecting the irate vampire.“So, is it true that your knot will be the size of your fist? I used to think they told us that to scare the crap out of us, but now. Now, looking at your body for myself. Yeah, it’s probably true. Am I weird for being both terrified and excited about the prospect? Like in a go big or go home sort of way? Geeze, no wonder they prepare heat inducers for our first time. I can’t imagine- scratch that, I so can. Oh my god, wha-,”“Azrin, you’re fucking rambling. You psychopath,” Lexus pointed out. Literally, as the alpha tapped his forehead with an index finger.“Oh? Was I? Oops, I didn’t reali-,”“
Well, that was as far as his ability to rationalize was gonna go at the moment. He chirruped sweetly at Lex while cocking his head to the side in question. He was pretty sure where the blonde planned to take this, but he couldn’t help but wonder if being faced with it had caused the male to change his mind.It was stupid of the Brunet to doubt him. The alpha crooned at him before dropping his octave lower and deeper, causing his whole chest to vibrate against the insides of Azrin’s thighs. He shuddered causing Lexus to smirk sinfully before kissing the head of his dick. That was all the warning the omega got before he was lurched forward by hands forcefully gripping his ass cheeks as Lex swallowed the first few inches of him without hesitation.A euphoric feeling washing over him had his brain struggling to perform basic thoughts. Shockingly Lexus didn’t pin his hips to prevent the freckled vampire from rocking into the warm heat of his mouth. N
Why Lexus tormented himself this way, he would never really know. He was standing here fumbling his way through different sheer fabrics that made him want to rip every single one to shreds. None of these were what he was looking for and wouldn’t do him or Azrin any good. Even the liners were sheer, and it was beginning to drive the fiery blond up the wall.Omegan clothing was a joke. Honestly, Lexus wasn’t sure why they even put clothes on their omegas if this was all they were willing to provide them. He knew, in theory, it was to give them an alluring and expensive look. The more prestigious the family, the more expensive and decorated the fabrics that adorned the lower cast were. It was still fucking stupid.A few days ago, Azrin’s newly commissioned attire had come in -since the last set had been torn to smithereens- the brunet had been beside himself. The stress and embarrassment had been cloying as Rin had been forced to try it on so the tailor could make any last-minute adjustme
In the time it took Lexus to walk them both into his bathroom, Azrin had relaxed. He was currently nuzzled into the crook of Lex’s neck, and the omega couldn’t have been happier. He was purring in contentment as he put pressure on his alpha’s claiming gland. There was nothing but a slight sheen of oil, and all Azrin could smell was the chemicals of Lexus’s inhibitors and a faint trace of smoke.“Hey, you good? Is it ok if I set you down while I get the shower ready?” The ash blond asked while carding a hand gently through the Brunet’s unruly hair.“Hmm, I’m good. You don’t have to worry about that Lex. We can just get in together like this,” He countered.“We could, and there will be plenty of times where we do. This isn’t one of them, Nerd. Let me groom you,” Lexus prodded. He had worded it as a question, but the omega knew better. The alpha had rearranged Azrin to one arm, keeping him safe and steady against his body. While doing so, Lex had gotten several towels and was now opening
Azrin let out a horribly unattractive snort (while Lexus sat proudly with a feral grin) as he recognized the code imbedded in Lex’s shackles. It was his damn birthday. Not Lexus’s. Oh no, it was without a doubt the omega’s. He was sure someone somewhere would have scoffed at them, if they’d been watching this play out like some sort of vintage reality show. Like, no shit it was your birthday. That’s common for couples! Are you stupid? Yes, yes, he was. It would have taken him days to figure this out. Actually, he’s not even sure he would have, and Lexus’s smug disposition let the omega know the blond was thinking the exact same thing. Azrin’s one saving grace, was the fact he hadn’t expected the alpha to know the exact time he was born. Like, who pays that much attention to something they heard in passing? Lex, apparently.“Your brain done stalling out? If so, can we get this show on the road while I’m still sane?” The alpha snarked, entirely too pleased with himself.That was fine,
“How the fuck did you get to that question? Why the fuck are you asking that question?” The vampire snarled his eyes glowing with aggression.“Because you relentlessly attacked him about it for years,” His sire continued undeterred by the young alpha’s threatening display.Lexus clenched his teeth through an affronted growl. The old man wasn’t wrong and had every right to question. Even if it did piss him the fuck off. “No, it doesn’t bother me that Azrin is male or an omega,”“Then why?”“Why what?”“Do not play games with me, Lexus. You know what I’m asking you,”“Fuckin…. Because I thought he was being taken away from me, ok? And I was fucking angry… No, I was fucking livid about it. So, being the fucking asshole, I am I took it out on him. In the fucking worst way possible,”“Taken away?”“I… I didn’t realize it at the time. But…. When mom adopted him, I assumed he couldn’t be mine anymore. You know siblings and sex don’t mix and all that stupid fucking shit. Though I didn’t actua
Fuck, this was stupid, and if anyone found him out here, there would be hell to pay. Lexus snarled to himself as he continued to dig through the abandoned library. There wasn’t much here to be salvaged, and what he’d found so far were things Azrin already had in some form or another.The alpha was in forbidden territory, scavenging an abandoned human encampment that was implicitly and undeniably off-limits to vampire-kind. Not that Lexus gave a shit about the rules, but the fact that he was here…Doing this, hell, he was fucking whipped. The worst part, though, was that the fucker he was doing this for didn’t even fucking know about it.Lexus had no intentions of changing that fact anytime soon. Not with his recent arrangement courtesy of the council and his dam. However, that wasn’t going to stop him from doting on his omega, even in secret. His freckled vampire had a penchant for human memorabilia, and among them, books were his favorite to dissect.The brunet would fill pages with n
Certainly! Here's a revised version of the passage with added introspection and sensory detail:---“Fucking—th-thank you,” Lexus muttered, his voice thick with emotion. “That means a lot. I didn’t realize those moments meant that much to you. I’m still so damn sorry. I have so much to make up for, especially after this royal fuck-up. God, where do I even start?”His mind raced, the guilt gnawing at him like a persistent itch he couldn’t scratch. He could feel the weight of his failures pressing down on his chest, suffocating him.“How do I unlock the shackles, Lex?” Azrin’s voice broke through the haze, pulling him back to the present.“Rin, I don’t think—,” Lexus began, his voice tight with apprehension.“You asked. I’m just giving you an opportunity,” Azrin cut in, his tone firm, yet soft, like the way he touched Lexus's shoulder, grounding him.“Fuck my life,” Lexus breathed out, the curse slipping past his lips before he could stop it. He felt Azrin’s eyes on him, pleading, a sil
They both glared harshly at each other, fangs bared in open aggression. Neither was willing to back down, and the tension of the situation was exacerbated by the rancid perfuming of the blond’s new scent. It wasn’t horrid in the sense that Azrin’s omega was rejecting it. (Because he certainly wasn’t.) It was horrid in the sense that he wasn’t sure he could fix it. Honestly, he wasn’t sure he could fix them. Try anyway; we need alpha to understand.Azrin could pump out all the pheromones he wanted. Like he was currently attempting to do. However, it wouldn’t have nearly the effect it could have had if he’d been able to sync his maturation with the alpha. While setting the world on fire was a conversation, they’d both had many many times. He hadn’t realized the smell of it would be so fucking awful. The Brunet couldn’t help but scrunch his nose at the odor. “I’m trying to help you,”“I don’t want you-“I know you don’t. Believe me, I know I’m the last one on the planet you want. I under
Azrin’s eyes blew wide, and his omega was almost feral at the idea- in a good way. The Brunet wasn’t even sure how to process what he was feeling right now. Everything he thought was being put to the test over the last few days, it was overwhelming. His omega should be livid and affronted at the suggestion of pinning their alpha and yet. All it brought was a sort of giddy anticipation and some nervous apprehension. Before he could formulate words, Marina took it upon herself to continue.“Azrin, if you pin Lexus. He’ll listen to whatever you have to say. His alpha will submit to you, especially while he’s rutting. Alphas respond to being dominated just like omegas do. We fight it, and don’t bend for just anyone; but you’re his mate, Azrin. His omega, who he believes he has irreparably wronged,” She knew she had his attention now as the Brunet could tear his eyes away as she spoke. Seemingly from experience, just like uncle had for him earlier.“If you want him to believe you are there
The thing about locking yourself inside of something is, you need to be sure someone couldn’t or wouldn’t unlock it. Azrin was confident Lex knew the Brunet would show up to intervene sooner or later. He was also certain Lex didn’t think the omega had the ability or resources to unlock the damn cellar door himself. Unluckily for the young alpha, Azrin had rallied Marina to his cause.The omega waited impatiently, pacing back and forth, as the clan alpha used her blood to undo the intricate seal. Being the curious restless creature that he was, Azrin began to ask questions. “Why have such a multifaceted seal on the cellar of a house that’s hardly used?”“Azrin dear, Lexus had every intention of riding out his first rut unattended. We made every effort to make sure he would be contained,” The matriarch gave him a flat look.“Ok, I understand that. But that’s an external seal, He’s unable to effect it once inside,” Azrin redirected, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.“Because he knows
Emerald eyes flared as Azrin’s teeth descended, a bead of saliva forming at the corner of his lips. The omega’s nose twitched with excitement, and Lexus felt the primal urge to bare his fangs in triumph. But of course, Azrin had never been easy to please. With a frustrated hiss, something Rin would never do in his right mind, the brunet curled into a defensive ball, his body tense and trembling.Ah, fuck. Lexus cursed inwardly, realizing the fragile line they were walking. He let out an uncharacteristic whine and bared his throat, exposing himself completely as he lay flat on his back. Every instinct screamed vulnerability, but his focus was on Rin, his eyes locked on the omega’s, willing him to understand that he wasn’t rejecting him. He wasn’t a threat.Rin hesitated, his quizzical gaze fixed on Lexus before he began to unfurl, an assertive rumble resonating from deep within his chest. The omega moved with purpose, dripping fresh blood f
Lexus was done—fucking done. This was the last time he would stand by while another alpha abused and berated his omega. His claws and fangs were drenched in cooling gore, the remnants of the bastard who had dared to force Azrin into a public submission. The scene replayed in his mind, the way the brute had snarled, forcing Azrin to bear his throat. When Rin hadn’t complied willingly, the alpha had drawn blood, bringing talons and teeth into the fray. Lexus had been helpless, trapped in the crowd, his fury boiling over as he watched the freckled omega get torn into.But then, the hag had intervened. The assailant had been thrown off his feet, bodily hurled away from Azrin by her sheer strength before Lexus’s father whisked the injured omega away. Normally, Lexus would have followed immediately, his instinct to protect and comfort his life companion taking precedence. But not this time. This time, he had business to attend to and a very permanent statement to make.“Lexus, did you kill
