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
Sebestian had a sad look on his face when he looked back at his Omega and Rose hated the streak of pity that showed in the way she looked at him. "Can you feel it? I can't feel it" Rose went on, hoping that Sebestian would possess some information that would explain it to her."You are grieving, Rose. It's perfectly normal for your heat to delay or be completely canceled out for this month" Sebestian explained calmly, but it wasn't the answer Rose wanted to hear so she just shook her head. It was unfair, she needed it now.Rubbing her face, Rose's frustration was quickly changing to a feeling of anger. "Why? That makes no sense at all. It would be fucking beneficial for once and it's not happening?" She snarled, her anger seething. Sebestian sat still, not at all reacting to her outrage and it was almost annoying how understanding she was about it all."Your heat isn't there as a way of escaping what you are feeling." Sebestian said gently hoping that some of his calmness would rub of
Quickly edging closer to his climax, Rose's eyes watered as she held onto Sebestian tightly. Curling her toes in pleasure, she pushed her head back and arched off the mattress as her body shivered, small tingling sensations jolted under her skin seconds before she came. Clenching tightly around Sebestian who was still moving over him, Samantha moaned her Alpha's name, visibly shaking as her orgasm washed over her. Stuttering out small moans, Samantha's eyelids fluttered as Sebestian' teeth sank into her neck over his mate bite as he came and filled her, the scent within Sebestian feeling like small vibrations wherever their skin touched.Feeling the mate mark on his own neck tingle as he bit into the one on Samantha's, Sebestian groaned as he thrusted into her until he had fully emptied himself, his hips jerking slightly before he stilled between his Omega's legs. Laying on top of her and leaving a few small lazy kisses against the slightly bruising mark on her neck, Sebestian stayed
Sebestian had drifted off to sleep but woke up at a loud sound coming from the bathroom. Pushing up and getting out of bed, he made his way over and let out a gasp as he saw Rose on the floor in the shower, red blood mixing in with the clear water circling the drain. Rushing over to Rose who was conscious and struggling to get herself up, Sebestian turned the water off as he cupped Rose's face to get her attention, relieved as Rose seemed responsive and quickly went on to brush his fingers through his dark wet hair, finding the cause of the blood. "What happened?"Grunting in pain, Rose felt sick as she tried to reach up to where her head hurt but had her hand pushed away by Sebestian who was clearly already closing the wound, the scent tingling against her scalp as he worked. "I just, I fell" Rose mumbled, shivering where she sat as the warm water had been turned off."Fell?" Sebestian asked, frowning as his fingers ghosted though her hair, looking for any other injury.Rose's mouth
Sebestian was basically shouting the signs of pregnancy at her and Rose felt herself pulling back. She wasn't, Sebestian was the only one she had ever slept with, and she wanted to tell him that, but instead of words the only thing escaping her was small whimpers as she fought the urge to look away. Rose couldn't ever remember having an Alpha this angry with her and the anger she herself felt for unjustly being 'attacked' like this mixed in with the desperate need to make Sebestian understand as she caved to her urges and looked down, exposing her neck in submission to Sebestian in hopes that it would calm him.His breath hitched in his throat as Rose submitted to him and Sebestian felt himself growl at what he took as sort of a confession. The feelings he felt were new, Rose was his first ever mate and he wasn't used to the intensity of the emotions that were heightened through the mate-bond. He had waited alone for years and having finally found Rose, just the idea of her (the one h
Cristina was stunned momentarily. Sebestian therapist before her complained that even after fifteen sessions he didn't manage to get through to the man, didn't make any progress at all. She wasn't arrogant enough to deem herself the right person to help. But perhaps she was lucky enough to stumble into his life at just the right moment. "You know that none of that is true", she was bold enough to proclaim. Sebestian' anger wasn't aimed at Rose. "I only saw you two together for... what, ten seconds before he left the room. And I could already see how much he loves and values you." She saw the fight rising from deep within Sebestian and catalogued that as a good sign. "He almost lost you. A part of him must be scared that she still might." She gave him a moment. "Rose knows how strong you are. Be patient with her while she tries to remember it again."Sebestian smiled wryly. His eyes softened, though. "I'm not a patient man.""What kind of a man are you, then?" Cristina threw back.Sebe
When she pulled her a hug he clung to her tightly. It made her feel a little less like the world was falling apart but she retracted from the comfort quickly. She was still shaken from the mild panic attack he'd have to postpone dealing with until later. Resolute to push through and put one foot in front of the other Rose headed out of the room with her sister following her. She was putting on a coat when something occurred to her. "Thank you, for everything. How did you know that I was having a...?" She didn't want to say it oud loud."You were shouting to your phone." Monika went on before she could panic. "You know the boys; they wouldn't wake up to a bomb going off when they're tired enough. They're fast asleep, I checked." After her reassurance she focused on searching through his coat's pockets, so she didn't see her frown. "What are you doing?"Rose's brows furrowed while she spun around wildly. Her head whirred and her hands were shaking along with her whole body. "My car keys
Rose had no idea what happened next. By some miracle she managed to get the boys to calm down, at least to an extent. Apparently, she also ordered takeaway none of them really wanted because suddenly there were cardboard containers all over the kitchen. She did have a far too vivid memory of the lead heavy silence that lingered as they ate, all of them much too aware of the empty seat at the table.It wasn't until later, as she stared at the kids while they watched cartoons huddled together, the full gravity of the situation fell mercilessly on Rose's shoulders. Everything she'd almost lost and could still lose... It weighed too much.Rose's stomach rolled violently. She dashed as fast as she could to the toilet connected to the bathroom, knowing that the boys wouldn't have to hear whatever noise she made there. As soon as she fell to her knees, she threw up loudly, feeling the world falling apart around her yet again.How was she supposed to keep fighting when every time she thought
Ray continued to avoid mentioning his daddy for a couple of more days. Did his best to not even think about his other parent because it hurt too much. But in the end the whole situation got too much on him.He'd had a lot of nightmares since his daddy's accident. They haunted him almost every night. Something about the one he had one particular dark night made it worse than others.In the horrible dream he and his papa were in a forest, where thick fog began to engulf them. Ray was terrified and did his best to keep up with the man walking in front of him. In the end he found himself standing paralyzed while the fog swallowed his papa."Daddy?" There was no response and fear squeezed his chest mercilessly. Tears filled his eyes. "Daddy? Daddy!" Only silence answered him.Ray woke up crying, with his entire body covered in cold sweat. His heart hammered while his wide eyes darted around, trying to convince his mind that he was safe. That he was home and his daddy was safe, too. He want
Holding Max... It felt so good that had hard time controlling his emotions, especially because the brain injury seemed to enhance all feelings. But listening to his son's excited babbling was also a bit much on his still recovering head."... got a new class hamster. And guess what, papa! He has a missing leg, too. I said that he's just like my papa, and Miss Pen gave me a big hug." Max sounded endearingly proud of him, himself and the little creature the child now had a special connection with.Carefully avoiding Max noticing, Sebestian cast a slightly panicked look at Rose. 'Miss Pen?' How many people were there in his son's life he had no idea of? 'His teacher, Aline', Rose mouthed back.Max went on, completely unaware of the adults' exchange. "... named him Skunk, because he's black and white. He likes cuddles, I can tell. But Miss Pen says that we can't cuddle him too much because he's so small and fragile."Sebestian listened to Max babbling as intently as he could, his new limi
Monika likely noticed what she'd done to her hands but didn't call him out on it at the moment. Instead, she moved to hug her, but he refused her with a shake of head. "I'm... I can't." Her voice was so hoarse that for a second, she wondered if she screamed out loud, after all. "If you touch me, I'll lose control and..." She trailed off. She couldn't lose control; too many people she loved needed her to stay strong right now.Monika nodded. Not necessarily happy but understanding. "As long as you know that you're not alone in this. We're all here for you, all of you. Got that?"Rose nodded, dangerously close to losing control over herself. After that... she didn't have very clear memories. She took a cab to the hospital, even on such a day sensible enough to know that she shouldn't drive. Her feet led him to the ICU. The sterile reek and suffocating silence that smacked her across the face at that ward just about tore her new numb bubble to shreds.There was no one around to update he
That night Ray woke up needing to use the bathroom. He yawned and left the comfort of his bed reluctantly, then began to tiptoe towards the toilet. Halfway there he froze at what he saw on the balcony.His mommy stood there with his grandma. Crying while she hugged her and whispered comforting words, appearing distraught herself. Even a child could see how heartbroken his mommy was.It terrified Ray more than he would've cared to admit. Things were supposed to be improving. His daddy was awake. There was supposed to be no need to be sad anymore. Did something go wrong again?Ray managed to retreat to his room unseen. He hid himself under a blanket entirely, trembling miserably. He couldn't sleep while his thoughts whirred.His therapist had helped convince Ray that he wouldn't be sent away, that he wouldn't lose his family. But the insecurities and fears lingered, ready to resurface at any given moment. He hadn't seen his papa in what, to a child, felt like a lifetime. He missed his p
Sebestian felt like he was held under water while he listened to Rose, eyes fixed on the opposite wall. "Ray is another child." It was all told with the kind of paternal love that'd already showed itself once.Rose tried to show a picture from her phone, but Sebestian was too ashamed and overwhelmed to look at it. The Alpha closed his eyes and tried very hard to breathe properly. "How long?" How much time had he lost? How many precious memories? What kind of a parent was he, to forget his own son? He wanted to scream from frustration when the words got tangled together and were nearly impossible to spew out coherently. "... long?"Rose frowned before finally figuring out what he meant and answering tentatively. "He's been our son always." The full weight of those words crashed down on them both simultaneously.Sebestian struggled to make sense of everything. It was like getting sucked into an alternative reality. Like waking up from long sleep, to find that someone else had been livin
The whole family was in an agreement that Rose shouldn't be left alone at the hospital for long. They knew how bad off she was, while trying anxiously to support others. And Sebestian... They didn't want to imagine Samantha without him, for even a second. Because it'd be a loss she wouldn't survive, at least as herself.Monika braced herself for great many things on her way from her workplace at the morgue to the ICU. Her chest clenched and she almost dropped the takeaway coffees she carried when she saw her sister sitting on a bench, wiping his eyes. Then she realized that the tears she fought back were those of joy.Rose's eyes shone from tears and happiness when they met hers. "He... He woke up, Monika. Sebestian woke up and talked to me."Monika decided that it was time to ditch the coffee. She tossed the mugs aside, not really caring where they ended up. Then she pulled her sister to a tight embrace. Which she returned with equal vigor. She could practically feel the relief radia
