"Sebestian" Oskar pressed and gave him a stern look. It was always risky for one Alpha to press another as their gender wasn't particularly known for their balanced temper, but Sebestian knew that the Alpha only wanted to make sure that he knew what he was possibly signing up for.Lowering the cup with the cold tea, Sebestian let out a sigh "I'm aware of the risks" he said, feeling somewhat defeated. When one of the two passed, it was hard for the one left behind, but when the one left behind, it usually took less than a century for the person to 'lose their mind' and end up ending their own life. It was a risk Fred and Oskar had taken, but the risk there was lower because for all intent and purposes they should both live for hundreds of years, possibly forever; if Sebestian made that bond with Rose he was signing up, if he was lucky. "You did say though that there is no documented case of Omega creating a blood-bond with anyone immortal, maybe it's different" he tried, feeling his in
Quickly glancing over at the bedroom door, seeing it was slightly ajar, Sebestian walked over and closed it before making his way over to the front door. Taking a second to listen to his own instincts he felt both peace and some nerves, meaning the person on the other side of the door was probably friendly but very likely another Alpha.Making himself look presentable, he opened the door, preparing himself for anything.Seeing Ash standing outside, back against the wall on the opposite side of the hall to the door, he held back the urge to let out a small growl. Ash was Rose best-friend, his brother, he wasn't a threat either to him as an Alpha nor as a competitor, but because of the lack of blood shared between them it was something Sebestian needed to remind himself of."Sebestian" Ash said and slowly bowed his head, something that he didn't usually do, but clearly did to show respect, which Sebestian appreciated considering everything that was going on."Ash" Sebestian returned, no
Turning around, Allen still staying behind, almost like she was protecting them as they walked away. Rose and Sebestian both stopped when Imogen spoke up again. Turning around, seeing Ash whispering something, he waited until the older woman nodded and addressed them again. "You are right" she said, the smile on her face looking somewhat forced. "We are here to talk about... this " she indicated with her hand that she was talking about the pregnancy. "Miss, Rose, Mr. Sebestian" she said and for the first time since they had initially met, addressed Sebestian directly. "Please stay and I promise to be honest and transparent to the best of my knowledge".Looking at Rose, Sebestian smiled. They didn't need to speak they could feel each other and as he took the first step back towards the table, so did Rose. Hearing his mate's somewhat resentful agreement, Sebestian pulled out the chair for her to again take a seat.Back at the loft, Rose cuddled up against Sebestian on one of the larger
As soon as Rose had collapsed, Sebestian had sent a message to Allen who had been by his side within minutes, helping him to get Rose back inside and into bed. She had in turn contacted Monika, Ash as well as Fred (just like they had agreed a few weeks back) and the latter had already gotten there. Rose's two sibling other the other hand would need more time as they couldn't simply there like the others. Sitting on the edge of the bed next to Rose, holding her hand, Sebestian was trying to talk to her to keep her calm. Allen had been doing the necessary checks needed and found out that they were early, way too early and Rose's body had nowhere near managed to get ready for what was about to happen; yet still it was. Feeling Rose's short nails dig into her hand, Sebestian felt his eyes sting with tears as his mate cried out once more in pain. They had tried to use scent to soothe her, but as soon as they did anything, Rose would scream out as the unborn' scent burned across her skin,
*** 5 YEARS LATER ***Rubbing her face, Rose let out a groan as she flipped through papers on the desk in front of her. There seemed to be a million documents with no actual information on them. Letting out a sigh, she looked over at Ash who was leant back in a chair, legs up on the table while she went through a book and was threatening to fall apart at any moment. "I can't find a trace of anything," Rose said, feeling frustrated.He was back with the pack (even though she didn't trust them still), but Jia had held up her end of the deal, weeding away all the bad seeds as they were found, clearing up the ranks from the inside, so Rose had at least felt safe in coming back. Ash was still officially the Head of the pack (but once again, Rose was the one doing all the work), however, that was about to change soon. Jia had somewhat reluctantly agreed to back them once they did the switch, and it was mainly a bit of damage control that was left before it was made official. Working as the
bed, Rose looked at Max as the small boy pulled the covers up tighter around himself "Why are you not sleeping?" Rose asked, speaking softly. Max, unlike his brother, usually did go to bed on time and slept through the night."Ray said that the monsters are gonna eat me" Max stuttered out, not crying but seeming like he was about to.Closing her eyes for a second as she shook her head, Rose cursed under her breath, of course Ray had said that. Neither were better, they would both tease each other, but Ray was just usually a little sneakier about it. "I promise, no monster is going to eat you" Rose tried as she reached out and brushed some of his messy dark hair back, smiling softly at him "Ray was just saying that to tease you" she said, being careful not to use the word lie because she knew the older twin had meant no harm."But.. what if they do?" Max whispered and pouted, the light from the slowly brightening sky outside illuminated his small face.Shifting on the spot, Rose held b
Sebestian barely moved as Rose got back on the bed, biting his own tongue hard in his mouth to try and keep his thoughts clear and calm as he watched him. It didn't matter how often he saw Rose naked, it made him impossibly excited every single time, like his skin was on fire. He wasn't completely sure what was going on, but he wasn't complaining."This would have freaked me out before you came along" she said, slowly running one hand over his stomach and up to is chest. "I used to hate my body. It was gross to me because I felt stupid and weak" she continued, looking at Sebestian as he almost absentmindedly let her hand roam over his own naked body. "I still sometimes feel weak when the want to just be taken becomes too strong" she admitted.An almost overwhelming feeling of the want and desire to crawl onto the bed and kiss every inch of Rose's perfect body, all the while telling her how beautiful and strong she was, was starting to wash over Sebestian as he listened and observed he
Glancing over at them, Rose quickly grabbed the colored pencils that were spread out on the floor and put them back into the plastic container they were usually kept in before walking back to join them, stealing a piece of apple off of Max's plate as she walked by and dramatically put it into her mouth as she sat down."Thats my apple" Max pouted, grabbing all of the other pieces on his plate.Chewing the piece she had stolen; Rose made a face as she sat down "I thought you didn't like apples?" she feigned surprise as Max shoved a piece into his mouth and started chewing it, eyes narrowed. It was all an act on Rose's part obviously as Max has started to say that he didn't like a lot of different food but seemed more than willing to actually eat it if you tried to take it, or God forbid give it to Ray."Oh, is that apple for me?" Sebestian asked as he entered the kitchen, not just newly showered but also completely done up again, reaching out towards Max's plate, smiling."NO!" Max alm
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
