~Xyana~
Clifton's sardonic laughter catches me off guard. He's still staring at me when he says, "Amon will claim her, and when he does, he'll willingly share. She has no choice but to take the three of us. We are her Mates. At least she'll be really useful for once." He laughs again."She has a choice." Declan insists.“Like I fucking care,” Clif snickers as he adds, finally looking away from me. "I will give her, and she will take it all in good faith.”"She can choose not to be with us," Dion says."She wouldn't dare. She won't fucking dare. Anyway, she can't. It's beyond her now." He summarizes with a shrug.His words pierce my heart like a silver-laced stake, and I have to physically claw at the fabric of my bogus shirt. Tugging at the fabric around the location of my heart like I'm just unable to breathe.Gaston hits his desk so loud with his fist that I hear it crack. We all jump in unison: the men inside, me, and the Omegas that are loitering~Xyana~ Stepping into Gaston's office, I notice him looking so stressed out with his face buried in his palms. I feel my heart ache for seeing him like this. I fight the urge to circle his desk and pull him into a hug while telling him everything will be okay. But I know that would seem rather inappropriate and it might throw him off. “Please sit,” he says, letting out an exhausted breath. I take a seat quietly and wait for him to speak. After what seemed like a minute or more of silence, I decided to start up the conversation. "What is going on, Gaston? What is this big secret everyone seems to know but me?" “I’m sorry, Xyana," he finally speaks. "Unfortunately, I'm really not in the right position to speak to you about any of this." He says calmly, worry flashing in his eyes. "Clifton will tell you all you need to know. I promise you, he will. I will follow him up and make sure he does that as soon as possible." His worried voice makes me super anxious. I rub my palms toge
~Xyana~ "Huh?" is the only word I'm able to form amidst my shock. Finally, he stops staring and his lips thinned out in a small smile. "You don't think I'll be curious to know why a wolf wouldn’t want to communicate with her Mates? Worst still, she's mad at them and prefers someone else who doesn't want her." 'Alpha Kedar wants us, Xyana.' Juno tells me, from inside my head. 'His wolf wants us too. He's just confused and upset. I only asked you to choose this Alpha because you really want to stay here. But if he doesn't want us, let's go back to our mate. He will take us back. I can assure you. I'll help you lose some weight. I'll help you become stronger. Let's go.' I keep quiet. Ignoring Juno, I set my gaze on Gaston, who has a frown on his face. But he continues speaking; "Even if your wolf was overwhelmed, I can assure you that wolves are feisty beings and can surely handle their primary instincts less effectively than we would be able to." "But..." I start, yet I can't say
~Xyana~ "Hello, Adina," I call, making a beeline straight to the pack house's private kitchen that is set aside for the use of the people living in the pack house, which I'm part of, by the way. "Good afternoon ma'am." She greets stalking behind me. "I can get you a good full-course brunch from the main kitchen. That fridge only has snacks that, in my opinion, are unhealthy." She volunteers from behind. "Good thing nobody is asking for your opinion, Adina. I'm fine." I say as I pull the door of the fridge open. Surfing through the options available, I finally settled for two cupcakes and orange juice. A spike of sugar will definitely do me good right now. When I turn, Adina is still at the door. 'What is wrong with this woman, for god's sake?' "Do you want something, Adina?" I asked, now pissed at her constant display of sanctimonious care. Can't I be allowed to eat whatever junk I want to eat at least once in a fuckin while? "Ma'am, you can't eat those. You are going to get a
~Xyana~ The days gradually fade through. I don't get to see my mates like before. And when I do, it's either during breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or I run into them on my way out. Clifton is cold, doesn't talk to me, and offers clipped answers when I try to engage him in a conversation. Declan and Dion are not better but at least you would know that it is taking everything in them to give me the space Gaston thinks I need because recently, I'm beginning to wonder if the idea of keeping me away from my Mates is actually worth it. I feel lonely, especially once I'm back from the construction site. Luckily, Mona made it her job to always drop by to see and spend some time with me before heading home each day. Today, I'd just got back from the construction site when I saw Dion running a parameter check around the pack house with some of the men from the pack's control house. He's scrolling through a tablet and dishing out instructions. Pointing to several angles within the pack house
~Xyana~ For some reason unknown to me, I start by giving him a background rundown of my family and he listens attentively. When I'm done, he flashes a smile and turns the tip of his face cap behind. Then he says; "I know a lot about your family before now." I arched my brow questionably and he shrugged. "We just wanted to know if there's a family member we need to seek consent from before our marking ceremony." "There's none." I rush in. "I know that now." I then proceed to tell him the story about Juno. I repeat the things I told Declan. By the time I got to the end of the story and told him about my inability to shift for years until Alpha Kedar and also a clearer story about my rejection, I was actually struggling to keep my voice from breaking. I notice that he has taken a few steps back, away from me. He's staring at me like I'm an alien. Yet I don't let that distract me, I keep talking. He wedges his body on a nearby stool, squeezing the stool so hard that I feared he wou
~Xyana~"D, please." I plead in a whisper and watch Dion cave in."It's Amon, Clif 's wolf." He replies. "We are all worried about him. You see, Amon is special. He's powerful, a protector, a lover of family, and now you are his family. The truth is we're worried about the fact that you have three of us as your Mates. Amon is possessive. So, he might not be able to handle the multiple-mate situation very well. We saw it the other day in Declan's room. Worst still, Clifton's character doesn't help the situation at all." He takes a deep breath before he goes on. "We think Clif has to speak to you first and explain to you how special Amon is, and maybe if you accept him and he does the same, the rest of us can join in. So we're just waiting for Clif to get it going for all of us."I swallow hard as everything he says doesn't really make sense to me. "What do you mean when you said Clifton's Wolf is 'special'?" I ask, feeling more and more worried. "What is going on, Dion?".He shakes hi
~Xyana~ I did have the feeling that something was off about Clifton early enough. Especially from the day he overheard Juno in my head. It had been obvious but I just didn't want to think about it. Maybe that was stupid of me. After my heart-to-heart moment with Dion, my understanding of what I might be up against in respect to Clifton's Wolf became a bit clearer. Dion spent more time soothing me and reassuring me that he was never going to leave me. Maybe Juno said the truth, I'm just a bloody attention-seeker. I've been starved of attention that I'm willing to clutch to these men so hard. Goddess! If they reject me, I'll be alone with absolutely no one in my corner. When Dion got a mind-link from someone, I didn't need to be told that it was time to go back out there and face my reality. He held me in a hug for a very long time and kissed me over and over again before he finally let me go. My heart is so heavy when
~Xyana~ Mona comes to pick me up just as she promised. Today is my day off and I'm practically in the mood for all the mischief she has planned out for us. We head over to the garage that houses Dion's car and we take one of his cars, with Mona behind the wheels since I can't drive. I didn't go down for breakfast in the morning because I wasn't sure I had to strength to face Clifton or any of the Howling brothers at that. Oona would have made the atmosphere less awkward. But since she started her term paper, she left for school much earlier. So she eats before any of us. And with her schedule after school well planned by her nanny, I wasn't sure it was a good thing to disrupt any of that. At least until her papers are over. Since I have my own worries to take care of anyway. While Mona is driving us to the town center, I spot Declan walking down to the pack house, his body glistering under the scorching sun. "I need to
~Xyana~ I smile at Declan, "I loved it way too much." I tell him, and he groans, gently pushing me against the sofa in the room and steering me to get on my knees. Then he steps in front of me with his dick staring pleasurably at me. Quickly, I swallow his length and he screams like he's going insane. Then I add a hand movement, working his cock with my hand, and taking his tip into my mouth. Dion opens his pants, taking my hand to stroke himself simultaneously. Their groans and the feeling of their hard dicks in my control get my core to heat up once again, making me fear that my drenched pussy must be dripping onto the floor. Dion easily moves his hand down. He buries them inside me just briefly before he takes the dildo from Declan and pushes it inside me again. This time, the vibrations were faster, and the dildo was fastened around my pubis in such a way that it couldn't simply slip out of me. Then Dion buries his hand into my hair, and I moan, wail, groan and sing in
~Xyana~My heart skips a beat as Declan places my right arm on his neck. He moves his hand back down to my pussy, then he lifts one of my legs to Dion, who grabs it gently. Declan spreads my folds with his fingers and says; "Look how beautiful you are, My love." 'Dear Goddess!'Gently, he places one of his fingers on my clit, feeling my wetness. I moan, leaning back against him, and enjoy as he kneads me down there gently. "I love how you react to my touch." Declan murmurs, his gaze burning itself into my skin as he watches me. My pussy throbs painfully as I watch Dion clenching his jaw. I feel his fingers trail my leg. Slowly, he slips his finger between my legs, and pushes a finger into me, careful not to get in Declan's way."Oh, fuck," I breathe out, enjoying Dion moving in and out of me while Declan continues to play with my clit.My orgasm builds inside me and I’m about to be pushed over the edge as Dion growls, "Fuck Bones, she's clos
~Xyana~ At Dion's reply, I roll my eyes and sit up on the bed. "Must you have this brotherly loyalty? Bones doesn't seem like he wants to be with me anymore. And Clifton... well, I already told you, he's refused to say a word about whatever this big secret of his is." Dion chuckles and I push against his chest gently, tilting his upper body slightly away from me. He winks at me with a big smirk on his face. Oh Dion, how I love this man. I love how he bares himself and his feelings to me. I love that he isn't jealous of his brothers being part of my life. Slowly, I get on my knees and start to unbutton his pants, pulling down his boxer briefs as I proceed. His eyes darken, black and grey flecks twirl with his green eye color as he seems to be fighting his wolf the undeniable urge to instantly claim me. He shuts his eyes and hums gently as I stroke his length. A low moan escapes his lips as he enjoys the up-and-down movement of
~Xyana~ Gaston confessed that he had feelings for me and because of that, he's desperate for my union with his brothers to move to the next level as fast as possible. When I left his office after his confession, I spent most of the day with Oona in the garden, and the rest of the day was spent in my room thinking of my encounter with Gaston. Do I feel anything for him? Hell, I don't even know. I still feel guilty for what we did. And maybe one day the overwhelming guilt would push me into telling Dion. Because out of all my mates, I feel a deeper connection with him. Days have passed since my discussion with Gaston, and since my mates aren't allowed close to me yet, I put my whole soul into work at the construction site. I even went as far as visiting the greenery and growing a couple of hybrid plants myself. Today is one of those days I immerse myself into so much work that Mona had to pull me out and drag me home.
~Gaston~ I feel terrible for the manner I spoke to Xyana. Yet every sensible part of me tells me that I did the right thing. It's okay to say no at times. Not because I don't want it, but because of the number of people that would get hurt if I proceeded to fight for my own happiness. Clifton is unstable and opening up to him about who and what Xyana is would not only hurt him, he might pull the whole pack house down with rage. Aside from that, I care about my brothers so much that I never want to hurt them. I did the right thing; I murmured the words within me over and over again. Still, I feel terrible. I feel like an important part of me has been ripped from within the walls of my heart. I was still feeling this way when my friend, Alpha Callum walked into my office later in the day. Once he banged the door behind him, he took a seat and flashed his usual warm smile. "Gass Gass," he calls. "You're just here enjoying and basking in the beauty of having three powerful loya
~Xyana~ I'm raging, so mad at everyone as I head straight to Gaston's office. When I got down to Oona's room earlier, she was sulking and refused to see me. I didn't know what could be the problem until her Nanny explained to me that Gaston said he was busy and wouldn't be available to follow us to the fields for our planned picnic. I had Oona's Nanny inform her about the picnic over the week and I knew the poor girl had been waiting so much for today. I'm officially pissed. It isn't so bad that Gaston has been avoiding me since our encounter the other night. But the fact that he would break his daughter's heart just to keep avoiding me is what I find both ridiculous and unacceptable. Raging can't even describe the internal whirlwind that is creating total havoc in my mind right now as push into Gaston's office without bothering to knock. That is such a rude thing to do, I know, but with my e
~Dion~ The dining room seemed too quiet as my brothers and I waited to hear what was so important that Gaston sent Oona away to go eat in her room. He hasn't had breakfast, lunch, or dinner with us in two days and suddenly he wants a family gathering while we have dinner Keeping my head low, I try to avoid his gaze while I dig into my food. Maybe this is about what I did earlier today. I snuck into Xyana's room and spent the entire evening cuddling her. For goddess's sake, I've missed my mate terribly. Even though I told the guards at her door not to mention a word to Gaston, I know they did. Besides their loyalty lies with their Alpha first before their Gamma. It might be my guilty conscience, but I feel like he knows. He isn't stupid too, and he must have asked himself why I would come to dinner freshly showered if I didn't train. "Diony, you look tense. Ease up a bit." Decla
~Alpha Kedar~ "You did what?" My Grandmother is screaming. "What did you do, Kedar!" She turns to my Mom, who is already standing and fidgeting. "Do you know about this, Ceci?" Mom shakes her head. Of course, she doesn't know. I didn't tell her. "I thought... I thought it would be best for our pack to be under Zegulf's protection, Grandpa. His pack is the most feared and being under his protection means my pack is untouchable." I try to explain. Grandpa Salazar is shaking his head regrettably and his wife is tapping him behind. "I am disappointed in you, Kedar." He says, and I'm just so confused by his outburst. What exactly did I do wrong? War is looming and I have to protect my pack. I did what any sensible Alpha would do. "I did what any sensible Alpha will do, Grandpa. I protected my pack." "Shut up!" Grandma Evelyn yells at me. "Didn't you learn anything from your late father? What in the goddess name do you think you'
•~BLACK-HAW PACK~• ~Alpha Kedar~ I can hear the sheer exhaustion in Gamma Reeder's voice as he narrates that a few more members of my pack are nowhere to be found. "Fuck!" I exhale noisily. Leaning backward, I stare at the smooth, polished wood of my office desk with bleary eyes. I clench the phone a little tighter as grave fear envelopes me. Members of my pack are not disappearing into thin air, they are leaving the pack. I still don't understand why anybody would wake up and decide to leave their pack. Why would anyone choose to be a rogue werewolf instead of staying back in their pack and having a name and Alpha to protect them? "Who are the ones that left?" "Livington and his entire family. Their house is completely empty," comes the flat response. "Fucking hell! Why would Maddox Livington, of all people, elope with his entire family!" I sn
