The Brunet flushed under Lexus’s intense gaze. He was being quite patient, while the omega fumbled. With a shy smile he continued. He bore his throat and purred up at Lex as his glands attempted to pump out his undeveloped pheromones. He could feel venom dripping across his fangs, most likely causing them to have a particular sheen. It was to entice the alpha to let him bite, but to also show interest in being bitten.Both alphas and omegas preen. However, an alpha will preen in victory or a sort as of gloating for attracting or winning something. Omegas preen when they are feeling doted on and cared for. Both are responsive actions, but omegas are persnickety about who or what will cause them to display. It’s also looked down upon for a male omega to preen at all, but that’s a thought for another day. Obviously Lex doesn’t mind, and in the end that’s what matters here. “Lex, will you bite me? Please? I know you said you wanted to wait, for the villa to feed. But- But I… Even if it’
“Give me a second, Nerd. I want you in my lap at the very least if we are really fucking doing this right now,” The alpha stated while hoisting the omega up by his freckled thighs.“Lex! You’re still all wet! Dry off first, knothead,” Azrin complained. Lexus’s cold tacky skin causing gooseflesh to prickle the Brunet’s own as he shivered.“Fuck,” Was all Lex said before striding toward the bench and setting Azrin onto it once more. Hastily the ash blond located a towel for himself and dried off. It was half-assed at best, causing the Brunet’s chest to swell with affection.“Good enough?” Lexus questioned with a quirked brow.“Good enough, Lex,”The alpha stalked him. As if he was expecting Azrin to bolt, or at the very least change his mind. The omega rolled his eyes dramatically before he exposed a claiming gland and cooed expectantly at the on-edge male. Lex’s reaction was instant as the blond all but bolted to him. Lexus manhandled Azrin into his lap before he began mouthing at the
Neither spoke as they gathered up the omega’s belongings. Both were very focused on the task at hand, though Lexus did take a moment to place his claiming fur across the Brunet’s shoulders. It was a comforting weight, and the significance of the blond’s deliberate action was not lost on him. Heavy lidded jade met attentive carmine in a gaze full of unsaid promise.He knew the alpha was still concerned regarding penetrative sex. However, they could still enjoy other avenues of sexual pleasure. Azrin couldn’t wait to get to the villa. He would build his new nest with his alpha, making sure it was properly scented, before bedding down for the night. While they would eventually sleep, he planned on having Lexus drink from him again before some intimate exploration. “Get your mind out of the gutter, Rin. I can smell you from here dammit,” The alpha complained. It was mostly for show, the upturn of his lips along with the tip of a pointed fang gave him away.“Shove it, Lex. You can’t smel
The councilman’s proposition had hit Azrin like a freight train. The omega knew it was a conversation he wasn’t supposed to hear, and he couldn’t escape fast enough. The hard stomp of booted feet let him know his alpha was right behind him. Azrin noted to himself that it was not his place to have an opinion about any decision Marina or Lexus made. Even though he very much did. Glancing sideways, he witnessed the offended gnarl of Lex’s face, and it said all the Brunet needed to know about the alpha’s opinion. But it was Azrin’s job to help his alpha see the benefits. Even if it broke his heart.“Lex, he’s right. There hasn’t been a child born to a male omega in a millennium. You should take a second, if you want any chance at offspring. His daughter is very pretty and if you agree none one else can touch her,” He stopped brusquely, turning to face the raging male behind him. Tears streamed down the Brunet’s face even as he spoke. It was a painful truth, but one Azrin had known long be
“Well, as you probably know our courting was for treaty and trade. Now, there was no promise that we would mate, considering the courting had to go without complication. However, it was implicitly implied to both of us that failure and non-compliance wasn’t an option. Luckily, for me. I adored her from the get-go. She was all fire and brimstone at our initial introduction, I honestly thought I was going to lose my head at the time,” Uncle paused to chuckle fondly at the memory.“It took her about six months before she fully committed to the courtship. Though once she did, she was all in. I couldn’t believe it, and neither could anyone else. Marina never wavered. We were officially mated; all treaties and trade contracts were finalized on the one-year anniversary of our courtship date. Of course, right after our honeymoon, the propositions started. We couldn’t bond like you and Lexus can. Not with me being a beta. So, the council prompted Marina to finally take an omega, even as a play
Warping was Azrin’s least favorite method of travel. Was it convenient? Very. Did it ruin his stomach for a full forty-eight hours afterwards, absolutely. God, he envied a human’s ability to vomit. The Brunet could really use a good purging right about now.“You good, Nerd?” Lexus questioned. His hand stroked soothingly against his back in long slow strokes.“Ugh, no- I’m never doing that again, you can’t make me,” He whined turning around to nuzzle into Lex’s chest.“It’s because you never teleport. You avoid it like the plague and that’s why is so damn rough on your system,”“Let me live my life, Lex,” His words were mumbled at best. The large blond just scoffed at him and he was sure there was an eyeroll in there somewhere.“Alright, children. Now’s not the time for a lover’s spat. You’ve both had a rough day. Azrin, dear. Do you want to set up your nest with Lexus? Or, would you rather have it separate for now and invite him into it later? Remember, there’s no wrong answer,” Marin
“Easy, omega. I’m not mad. I don’t mind what you said in the slightest, I promise,” The alpha’s voice was smooth and the more Azrin breathed the more he could tell the larger male was doing his damndest to pump out soothing pheromones.“But your reaction wa-,”“Was in response to your reaction. Once the words were out of your mouth, distress was pouring from you. You were completely terrified of my reaction,”“I-I was not terrified of you,”“You were. And it’s fine, ‘Az. The fault here doesn’t lie with you,”The Brunet wanted to hiss, whine, and submit all at the same time. It was horribly overwhelming. He wasn’t sure why Lex was acting this way. The alpha hadn’t even done anything and yet, the omega had already assumed the worst.“I suck at this. I’m so fucking broken, Lex,” He wanted to punch himself. This was getting fucking ridiculous.“This was actually good for me. I can work with this. Wanna know why, Nerd?” The alpha was practically preening, and the omega was about ready to r
Suddenly, white hot flashed across Azrin’s brain as his body went limp and all of the fight was drained out of him in an instant. The sensation had scrambled his brain and it took him a moment to realize why. Alpha had scruffed him. Not hard enough to break open his skin, but enough that his body obeyed the instinctual command to go lax with no resistance.“Lex,” Calling the blond’s name had said male beginning to slacken against his back. It spurred Azrin into action, but not to throw the male off him. Oh no, his omega was intent on something completely the opposite. “Alpha, please?”With a scoff Lexus let up enough that Azrin could get his legs underneath himself. His movement caused Lexus to twitch and tighten the hold he had on the back of Azrin’s neck. The omega cooed sweetly, submissively. He made sure to move his sluggish limbs slowly and telegraphed his intent. His change in behavior seemed to spark the alpha’s curiosity. So much so, Lex released his hold and sat back on his t
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
