Frowning, Ash shook his head "What? No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that it's harder than what I thought, mainly because you've hid it so damn well. I remember Sebestian losing his shit back when he watched over you during your heat. He was talking about how warlock Omegas were cherished or something and how we were treating you like garbage. I was furious, I couldn't see it, I just figured it was your choice""It was my choice" Rose said. She had heard about how Sebestian came to stay with her back then, but she had never heard it from Ash's point of view."Are we going to pretend like people's opinions and behavior towards Omegas didn't play a part?" Ash said with one of his signature smirks on his face, knowing full well that he had stumbled upon an argument that he couldn't lose.Pushing back up, Rose was already feeling a lot better than she had done before. It was strange to talk to Ash about this stuff, but it was actually kind of nice as well. "Let's go work out, I
Looking at the box in front of her, Rose peeked up a little to look it over. It was rather large, so a lot of what she feared it would be was clearly no longer an option. The box was made out of some kind of dark grey, almost black wood and the corners were covered in gold, probably to protect it. It looked old, like years old and the clasps were beautifully crafted in the same golden material. "What is it?" Rose asked as she looked at the box, having put her cutlery down now, actually curious.With his eyes locked on Rose, trying to take in every bit of her reaction, Sebestian just nodded towards the box first. "Open it" he said when Rose didn't move, having forgotten all about the breakfast she hadn't really been all that interested in to start with.Pushing up out of her seat to be able to take a proper look at it, Rose looked down at the top of the box and the gold pentagram, surrounded by golden vines and leaves that curled out towards the corners. It was beautiful, but it looked
Getting back to Sebestian after a full day that had mainly consisted of training and planning out possible future work, Rose hung up his jacket by the door and kicked off her shoes. Stretching a little, Rose walked into the living room and spotted Sebestian sitting on one of the sofas flipping through a book. The loft was warm and dimly lit, it smelled of something sweet and maybe a little unnatural, so Rose guessed that Sebestian had spent the day working."Good day, sweetie?" Sebestian said as he looked up and smiled.Nodding, Rose was about to sit down when she spotted a pillow with a red bow on it lying on the other sofa. "Yes, I could be called back, but I'm here for now" she said, her eyes still resting on the out of place pillow.Looking at Rose, looking at the pillow, Sebestian smiled and closed the book he had been reading, placing it down on the table and instead picking up his martini. He waited until Rose looked back at him, looking a little confused. He rather enjoyed the
Not more than a few minutes passed before Rose came into view from behind the bookshelf. She had only left a small gap between the heavy furniture and the window, just big enough for her to get in and out. It wouldn't be dark, Sebestian noticed that although she had pushed back the bookshelf, the chair and a small coffee table, she had left the two small w climbing lamps as, not to mention that one of the four walls in there would be almost one hundred percent window.Looking at Sebestian at the bed, Rose felt herself blush slightly. Sebestian hadn't watched her, he couldn't with how Rose had decided to re-furnish that bit of the room, but it was still strange or at least different to have him just wait."Want a cuddle?" Sebestian asked and patted the bed next to him.Feeling her cheeks heating slightly more, Rose wondered how he knew, how he knew just like that that she felt like she needed one. Was it a nest thing? Was it common? Nodding, Rose decided she didn't really care what it
As soon as Sebestian was in the flat, Rose knew and her heart raced as she tried to call out for her, feeling like she would actually die if she didn't get the Alpha's cock. Shifting over onto her stomach, Rose bent her knees and parted her legs, aching her back to present herself."Fuck" Sebestian groaned as he opened the door "I didn't know you were, were..." Sebestian trailed off, his cock already pushing against the fabric of his trousers, throbbing from the sight awaiting him. The rest of the world fell away as his mind only managed to focus on Rose, even the edges of his sight were blurring as he walked towards her. Being able to feel his own pulse, Sebestian groaned as the sweet and fresh scent of Rose's slick filled his entire body when he inhaled, drawing him towards her."Please, please" Rose panted in need before him, arching her back even further, trying with only her body language and a few words to get Sebestian to react quicker.Sebestian couldn't remember being so all
"Come" Rose drew out and once again tugged at her arm. Yawning again, Sebestian didn't question her as he let his legs drop over the edge of the bed and got up, feeling his limbs weaken under him as he did. Letting Rose pull him along, Sebestian felt a warm feeling spread through him as Rose dragged him past the bookshelf and into her nest. Looking around, Sebestian wondered when Rose had managed to get all the pillows, duvets and what not in there without him having noticed. Standing still as Rose let go of his hand, Sebestian eyes rested on her as he stood there looking tired, but also cute as she looked around like she was wondering where to place him.Grabbing Sebestian by the hips, Rose guided Sebestian over to where she wanted him and just nodded his head when he was in the correct spot. When Sebestian didn't instantly get what she meant, Rose pouted and pushed at his hips for him to get down. When he had, Rose got down next to him, surrounded by the comforting and calming scent
The first week back at the town went by pretty quickly. Ash, Monika, Jenny, Simon and even Ren had all congratulated her, all having either sensed the newly formed mate-bond she had created with Sebestian or possibly seen the mark. The bite mark, left low on the lower right side of her neck, was healing quickly even without the use of anything, but like all mate-bond bites should, it healed leaving behind a distinct circle-like white scar, showing the world that he was in a mated union with an Alpha. Rose didn't mind the scar, she in fact carried it rather proudly.Having returned from a small work to extract some information about the beta possible involvement, Rose and Monika returned to the work just in time to hear the announcement that Ash was immediately effective, the new leader and with that, the pack leader.Right after his announcement, Ash had been pulled away by his grandmother, his newly discovered grandmother and Rose had gone back to training. Simon had come back to wor
Stepping out through the door, Sebestian was met with the cool crisp air. It was already dark but because he could see through, the lights from the windows lit up the ground in front of him as he ran up to the entrance. He could feel the scent barriers surrounding the entire building and because more or less every ward protecting the place was of his own making, he could easily sense the different 'layers'. Reaching for the door, Sebestian was struggling to keep his feelings in check as he realized the doors was locked, meaning the entire building had to be on lock-down. The anger burned in his veins as without thinking he tore at the heavy double doors. The ground shook under his feet and the stone walls cracked threateningly around the protected wooden doors that separated him from Rose, his Rose who needed him.Had another Alpha of equal strength as him also protect the building. He probably wouldn't have been able to pull it down, but because he without a doubt was the strongest o
Ray, who was being forced against his will to finish a school assignment by Alex, whined petulantly, "Can't I take a break already?" but was ignored. Ken watched his best friend walk off with raised eyebrows."Where are you going?""Getting something to drink.""And you didn't offer Ray anything?" Ken paused, waiting for a reply from Alex but received none so assumed he was being ignored now, and in his own house no less. "Rude. Rie, sweetie, I'm so sorry, you can take a break and go help yourself to anything in there. Boss will be fine.""Don't let him hear you." Alex chuckled as he stood up and stretched. It's been almost a month now since he's started hanging out with Ray together with Alex, and already the friendship that budded between them was fully bloomed thanks to their shared interests and the connecting link they cared for, Alex. "What are you drinking?""Cider.""You have cinnamon?" Ray asked and walked over to his bag. He leafed through it and pulled something out that Ken
"Wow, I'd bang you."Alex spluttered indignantly before slamming the door shut on Ray's face. "How's this for a bang."Ken tutted, bumped Alex aside with a sassy hip and opened his front door again which swung open revealing Ray who stood on the cozy 'Welcome' rug wearing a breezy smirk. Alex wanted to wipe it off with his lips. Of course, he didn't admit this to himself though. The jock was a mouthwatering meal in skintight black jeans that hugged every muscle dipped crevice in his thighs and the length of his legs. The black shirt he wore, tucked in his pants and secured by the simple black belt cinched around his trim waist, left little to no room, the fabric glued snug to Ray's broad chest like second layer. He donned a leather jacket, the collars flipped up neat around his neck and collaborated well with the black Timbs that completed his look. Try as he may, discreetly as possible (what's discreet, Ken was openly judging him), Alex couldn't stop himself from ogling even he wante
The shuddering relief Alex felt ooze into his body was enough to get him to stumble back onto his feet and poke his head around the shelf. Ray stood in the center with his head facing one side of the room as he searched for Alex."Ray." Alex called out, voice soft and broken. The way Ray snapped his head forward so fast, the jolt of comfort that rushed through Alex when familiar dark eyes locked on him and the long, quick strides Ray closed Ray." Alex called out, voice soft and broken. The way Ray snapped his head forward so fast, the jolt of comfort that rushed through Alex when familiar dark eyes locked on him and the long, quick strides Ray closed their distance with, eased the frantic nerves Alex had been panicking with."You idiot." Ray whispered angrily though his tone washed in relief. He cupped Alex's cheeks and gently swiped his thumbs beneath Alex's eyes, collecting stray tears. "What the fuck are you doing? They announced the warning lockdown, what were you thinking?""I di
"Fuck."He ended up in the library (ironically the place where this chasing game with Ray began) which was on the third floor which meant the safest distance from the cafeteria since that was on the lowest level. Alex felt the stares but avoided eye contact knowing well he looked a panting mess from taking the stairs two and three at a time in haste to get away from Ray. Fucking Alex, God. Ever since the 'incident' Alex's mind refused to get rid of the memory no matter how hard he shoved it down. He tried to forget the sensation of Ray's mouth on his, yet his lips still tingled from Ray's tongue. He tried to stop thinking about how physically good it felt to be pressed against Ray's firm body like two puzzle pieces, tried to erase the feel of those large hands holding him tight but his body had a mind of its own and ached to be held again, touched again.It was maddening.From the start, Ray made it blatantly clear he wanted in his pants and Alex would not bend over so damn easily. Th
Class ended shortly after and Alex walked out of the room, phone out in his hand. He was in the middle of reading a text Ken had sent him as he walked down the hall to his locker when someone grabbed his shoulder and yanked him around. "Hey!" Alex glared up at Ray once he was facing him and tugged himself free. "You can't go around grabbing people, asshole!" he snapped his gum irritably.Ray was unperturbed, eyes dark. He crowded into Alex who began to flush and tried to shuffle back. Ray stilled him by gripping his hips and cocked his head down closer to Alex's level. "You've got jokes, Alex." Ray casually waved the crushed pack of gum in Alex's face before tugging said boy closer. Alex froze when he felt Ray's hand spread over the back of his ass, dip into his pocket, and drop the packet there. Ray gave it a pat when he was done before resting both hands-on Alex's cheeks. "Now, I want my piece."Before Alex could protest, Ray leaned down, tipped Alex's face up, and captured his lips
Side story (Alexander and Rose oldest son Ray)Alex wanted to wipe the stupid smirk off Ray's face. He settled for forcefully stuffing the crumpled notebook paper balled in his tiny right fist into the jock's mouth before stomping around the spluttering other, face flushed heatedly. "The answer is no!" Alex threw over his shoulder sassily before scurrying down the rest of the hall, leaving Ray behind who was taking his damp saliva crinkly paper out of the cavern of his mouth. "Fucking Alex." But there was only amusement laced in Ray's tone as he unfolded his paper, he'd wrote his little message down on for Alex, his handwriting only slightly damaged from all its past abuse. Ray scoffs when he sees a little mad face drawn in Alex's small, neat handwriting underneath his kindergarten message and leans against a locker just as a boy with a heavy looking book bag weighing his back down was about to open. He squeaks in despair when Ray's heavy body went lazily slack against the rusty sur
Sebestian woke up slowly and with effort. He felt so peaceful that he came close to drifting to sleep again. Until he sensed someone shuddering against him, along with anxiety that certainly wasn't his own.Using all his stubbornness, Sebestian opened his eyes. To find that Rose was waking up beside him. The sight – such he feared he might never get to witness again – filled Sebestian battered and bruised heart with joy. But he was also deeply worried. Because the anxiety he caught a hint of before grew far clearer. When Rose's eyes opened, they were haunted.A chill went down Sebestian spine. "Rose? Are you alright?"Rose's chuckle had more than a touch of hysteria to it. The man appeared terrified. "I'm... I have no idea. My head... It feels like it's going to..." The Omega made a gesture symbolizing an explosion with one hand.Sebestian would've wanted to use his scent to help Rose but felt so... off balance that he didn't dare to. "My head hurts, too. Maybe we should get some more
Sebestian had been hurt countless of times over the course of his (too) long life. More often and by more people than he cared to count. Few things, if anything, had hurt him as much as what Agatha revealed.Rose had been searching for a way to become like. Because of their stupid, ridiculous fight the woman took a huge risk and went to sleep beside him as though nothing had changed. And now..."I should kill you", Sebestian hissed.Agatha snorted. "Burn me... where I stand? Spare me, you're... too soft for that." (If only she knew of his stepfather...) "Besides, would it bring... your little Omega... back? I didn't force her... to do anything."Rose always took responsibility for the woman's decisions, stood behind them for better or for worse. Took responsibility for the decisions of others, too. Sebestian knew, as much as his blood boiled, that his wife wouldn't have wanted anyone to be harmed over the Omega's choice. So, with utmost reluctance, he commanded his magic to let go. (A
Sebestian was one of the continent's most powerful. Perhaps one of the most powerful Alpha in the whole world. Over the course of year's his scent had helped as well as killed countless of people.Yet now, with Rose in a dire need of his help... His incredible power – as the Omega herself called it once – seemed practically useless.Sebestian attempted to find out what was wrong with Rose. Perhaps he and Allen had missed something earlier. Sometimes dark scent and curses could be devious, difficult to notice even for someone powerful and experienced. Yet there was nothing.Then Sebestian worked his hardest to make his wife feel more comfortable, because Rose was clearly in pain. His trembling hand placed on top of the other's wildly beating heart and glowing seemed to be of some comfort for a moment. At least the seizures stopped. But Sebestian could sense in some indescribable manner that Rose was slipping away from him.Considering his state of mind, it wasn't a surprise that a gent
