Fusillade Chapter 1
Everything you thought you knew about vampires is a lie. Ok, not really. Azrin might have been acting a bit overdramatic, but still, some of the stuff in human fiction was just wild. Rapidly the Chestnut-haired male flipped through the tattered remains of a human novel. Mentions of garlic, mirrors, and metal stakes to the heart, flittered across his viridian eyes. How they came up with some of this was absolutely fascinating. Scribbling down illegible notes to anyone but himself- scratch that. To anyone but himself and one other, Azrin began reaching for the next volume in the series when a soft click and the shuffling of booted feet caught his attention.Scrambling to put away his recently acquired possessions, he hissed at his reflection in the mirror he had seen in passing. He was still in an oversized T-shirt and his underwear, the dreaded outfit for the ‘ceremony’ hanging pristinely next to the bay window of his room, untouched.The steps were getting closer, and they did not belo
Fusillade Chapter 2
Dragging the plain white T-shirt up and over his head, Azrin stopped to arch a brow at the alpha, regarding him with a bored expression. “You just gonna stay there and watch or?” Azrin began to fiddle with the elastic band of his boxer briefs, snapping it against his skin in a wordless hint.“I’m not moving,” A taunting smirk had Azrin throwing his head up and back with an exasperated groan. And a point to the alpha. Azrin turned his back to Lexus as he pulled his undergarments down his legs and stepped out of them. This was nothing more than a power play, and the less Azrin let the alpha know it unnerved him to no end, the better. Stepping into the leggings, Azrin expertly put them on, not getting his toes caught in the negative spaces as his left leg descended first into the soft fabric. They fit him perfectly. The waistband was designed to sit just above his navel and accentuated where his waist narrowed, and his hips began to flare, opening into the beautifully embroidered cut-o

“What’s done is done at this point, nerd. Might as well enjoy the stroll,” was all the response Azrin got. With an audible sigh, the omega relented, dropping his hands from the alpha’s back and quickly stepping from behind to walk at the other male’s side. For a moment, everything was quiet and deceptively peaceful. Azrin couldn’t stand it.“So, have anyone on your mind?” The omega questioned. He quickly glanced at the alpha’s face to see if he could glean anything from a possible nonverbal reaction. Nothing.“What’s it to you, nerd?” Lexus questioned back instead of answering, taking a moment to side-eye the Brunet. Both males always seemed to be calculating their next move in each other’s presence. It would be exhausting if it weren’t so stimulating for the omega in every sense of the word.Azrin was the one to break eye contact. He decided to look straight ahead before answering the ash blonde. “Just curious. You’ve never mentioned anyone, so I thought I’d ask,” He shrugged his sho
Fusillade Chapter 4
“Don’t run,” was all the alpha said, and before Azrin could comment or address the alpha, he left his side, just after entering the foyer, to join his mother at the stage for the obligatory introduction. The two bickered until Marina boxed Lex’s ears, causing the male to yelp painfully. Shockingly enough, instead of yelling or retaliating, the male took the punishment and relented. What is going on here?“Good evening, everyone, and as the head of the Burns clan, I welcome you to the festivities. Please help yourselves to the accommodations as we will begin shortly. As I’m sure you all know, even with his tardiness, my brat isn’t one to drag this sort of thing out. Omegas, please drink first, as you will be called upon shortly. Thank you,” The female alpha directed her attention to the blood bar set up and then promptly excused herself and Lex from the podium.Azrin regarded the other attendees quietly. Most of the omegas took Auntie up on her offer and made their way over to take a b
Fusillade Chapter 5
Lex had just brazenly licked him in front of everyone. “Don’t run,” the simple phrase that had thrown the omega for a moment earlier came back to him, as did the deep rumbling croon of a pleased alpha. The blonde affectionately rubbed his cheek against Azrin’s own before pulling back, only to place the tell-tale weight of a claiming fur on Azrin’s shoulders.“I, Lexus Burns, declare Azrin Marrow as my intended, subject only to his consent,” Lexus sounded confident if you weren’t used to the male. There was just the smallest waver in his voice indicative of his nervousness. He was giving Azrin a choice. Damn you, Lex. It wasn’t that the omega didn’t appreciate the gesture. It’s just that he hadn’t anticipated this situation at all. However, everyone’s words and actions made sense now. Was he really the only one who had no clue? How was he supposed to respond to this? Was this actually what the alpha wants, or is he protecting him again? Should he say no? Was auntie aware this was go
Fusillade Flashback-Lexus
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, an fifteen-year-old Lexus had to swallow a challenging growl as he watched the pre-rutting teen alpha- Vrestle snub Azrin 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 wretchedl
Fusillade Chapter 6
Immediately upon Azrin’s entry, Lexus stopped abruptly and focused his eyes on the Brunette. Azrin wanted to look away from the intensity of Lex’s gaze, and the alpha must have realized it. Whether it was due to his posture or a nervous tinge in his scent Azrin wasn’t sure, but a harsh crimson stare was no longer directed his way and was focused on the cool marble flooring.“You’re back,”“Of course, we’re back brat. What? Did you think I was going to run and hide him or something?” Marina taunted in reply from directly behind the omega, ruffling his hair once more as she walked past and up to her snarling offspring.“It may have crossed my mind,” Lex finally admitted with a pout as he tilted his head away even as his eyes tracked up once again to meet Azrin’s. The omega was shocked, Lexus had been panicking.“I suppose your concern isn’t without merit. Had he asked, I would have without question. That being said. As we are both here, and he walk through that door himself, it’s up to
Fusillade Chapter 7
“Why a year to claim me? If you’ve wanted me for so long, why didn’t you claim me on that stage? Are you unsure? Do you think your mind will change? You have every right to take me now as a test run. Is that it? You want to see if you even enjoy screwing a guy before you-,” A feral snarl from above him cut off his panic induced spiral.“The year isn’t for me, it’s for you,” Lexus’s voice was guttural as he was still snarling through the words.“Why? And how? Explain,” his tone was more accusatory than he had intended but, he just couldn’t understand the logic. The only one an arrangement like this benefited was the dominant.“Azrin, how many times over the years, have you had a fucking conniption fit about how omegas have no choice but to bend to the will of their alpha counterparts?” Lexus pointed out. Azrin knew better than to answer the rhetorical question, even as he felt himself begin to flush in embarrassment.“I am trying to give you as much say in this as I can. I have no inte

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,
Fusillade Flashback Lexus Pt2
“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
Fusillade Flashback Lexus Pt1
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
Fusillade Chapter 31
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
Fusillade Chapter 30
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
Fusillade Chapter 29
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
Fusillade Chapter 28
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
Fusillade Flashback- Lexus P1
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
