ALLISON."Gamma?" Anna's voice was hesitant, her gaze darting to the three Alphas standing near the doorway.I gave her a small, reassuring smile, though my heart felt heavy. "Give me a moment, Anna."She hesitated but eventually nodded, quietly shutting the door behind her. Now it was just me and them; Daniel, Liam, and River. Their expressions ranged from calm and controlled to downright irritated, their Alpha auras pressing down on me like an invisible weight.Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders and faced them. "I’ll say this again, I’m keeping this baby. There’s no argument in that. But that doesn’t mean any of you are obligated to take responsibility. I didn’t ask for this, and I don’t expect anything from any of you.”Daniel started to speak, but I quickly held up a hand to silence him. I wasn’t done."I just want to keep the baby safe and healthy. That’s all that matters to me right now. Once I give birth, we can figure out who the father is, if it even matters by then
ALLISON.Tears welled in her bloodshot eyes as she pulled me into an embrace. “You’re such a stubborn girl, and for that… I’m grateful. Thank you, Allison.”I returned her hug. It felt so good to be home again and to finally give Quinn exactly what I had promised her. After that, I hastily wiped my tears away and let River do his job.River stepped forward, handing her a small dagger to Quinn. "Take this. You’ll need to cut yourself. Your family was cursed by a Crimson Witch. Their curses are laid with blood, and only blood can break them." he explained.Quinn took the dagger without any hesitation. With her frail hands, she sliced her wrist, letting her blood drip onto the pulsing fragment. Then, I watched as River began chanting some incantations, his voice deep and resonant:“Flames of the ancient, burn the night,Undo the curse, restore the light.By blood and fire, the bond is broken,The dragon’s will, the words are spoken.”Quinn convulsed on the bed, her mouth open in a silent
ALLISON.Lena nodded. “He went back to our pack. I believed that he was summoned by the council about something.”My stomach dropped. He hadn’t said a word to me. I wasn’t his keeper, and he certainly didn’t owe me any explanations, but it still stung. After everything we’d been through today, I would’ve thought…Oh, come on, Allison. The guy isn’t even your boyfriend, or any of those five hot men, for that matter. I should seriously pull myself together. They could live their lives for all I care! I clenched my jaw as I tried to mentally lecture myself.Well, come to think of it, he may have left but he still made sure to leave some of his people behind. Some of his sentinnels were patrolling our territory and Lena was here as well. The thought that he didn’t completely abandon me made me feel a little better. I wasn’t sure why Liam’s sudden departure had unsettled me so much, but at least he’d ensured someone was here to help my pack.After Lena wrapped up the check up, my eyes quic
ALLISON.Just then, a gentle knock on door broke the heavy silence. The door was slightly ajar, and standing there was Daniel, his blond hair catching the dim light of the hallway.“Mind if I come in?” he asked, smiling.“Daniel, sure!”He stepped inside and his soft amber eyes found me. “How are you feeling?”“I’m okay. But I definitely need to rest more in the coming weeks.”“That’s good,” he said, nodding. “You’ve had enough stress lately. It’s time to take it easy.”I let out a tired laugh. “Easier said than done. I’m still the Gamma of my pack. There’s always something that needs my attention.”He frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing in concern. “Let someone else handle it for a while.”My hand drifted to my belly, stroking it gently. “I’ll try. I want to focus on the baby from now on.”Since the curse has been lifted, Quinn will be in great shape in the following days. I’m positive that she would be itching to do all the heavy stuffs from now on. I heard Emily was also recoverin
ALLISON.Mason’s intense silver eyes bore into me like a pair of burning coal. Suddenly, the room seemed smaller… hotter. His presence was enough to send my heart into a chaotic somersault.Oh, shit. What was he doing here?Mason strode towards me and I swore I could feel my heart jumping in my throat. His familiar oaky scent tickled my nose as he came closer, sitting on the empty space of my bed just beside my parted thighs. His amused eyes drifted to my hand sitting beneath my pajamas. Damn. I almost forgot that I was touching myself like some horny teenager! My cheeks burned with embarrassment and I frantically removed my hand off my panties.But Mason had other plans though. He grabbed my wrist, pulling it closer to his face as if to observe the wetness that was coating my finger.“Uh, w-what are you doing?” I croaked, feeling my face heat up even more.“You think you can just get yourself off without giving me a taste?” he whispered, his voice dangerously sexy.“W-What—”I swallo
ALLISON.My hands trembled slightly as I reached for his boxers, stroking his erection a bit before pulling it down. Mason groaned as soon as his massive cock sprung free as if letting out his huge junk gave him such satisfaction. But I knew it wasn’t enough. I could see it in his eyes as he looked at me, silently encouraging me to do what he asked me to do… and so I did.Like a hypnotized horny bitch, I wrapped my fingers around his thickness, pumping it once and twice, which earned another groan from Mason, before inching my face closer to lick its crown tip.“Fuck, yeah. That’s right, lick my cock, babe. Open your mouth and taste it,” Mason urged, his voice raspy.I swirled my tongue around the head of his cock, tasting the beads of precum on it. Salty… and strangely addicting. I opened my mouth to accommodate his massive member. He’s too big that he could barely fit into my mouth!“Hmm, your mouth feels so good around my cock, babe,” Mason groaned while fisting my hair. Seeing him
ALLISON.The light stubble on his jaw felt a bit ticklish while he licked my folds. He used his fingers to part my velvety lips as if to give himself some more access so he could lick me more, his tongue reaching almost as far as where his finger has been.“Oh, yes! That feels…”“Good?” Mason offered for me as he continued to lap my pussy. His tongue did wonders to my core while his expert thumb rubbed my clit. I was buckling my hips and arching my back as the sensations bubbled up inside me… I could feel it stirring in between my legs, threatening to explode.My teeth sunk into my lower lip as Mason’s tongue flicked on my clit, sucking it. That almost felt like a switch and just like that, my body began to convulsed in pleasure. I screamed his name just in time for the mind-blowing orgasm.“Hmm, delicious. Every last drop of you,” Mason firmly held my thighs in place even though my whole body was already trembling from the ecstasy of my release. He didn’t care that I was losing my sh
ALLISON.I turned my head slightly, peeking at him through the haze of my half-lidded eyes. He was lying on his back, one arm resting behind his head, the other draped over his stomach. Goodness, I could just admire his physique the whole night and still find new things to admire about it.The muscles of his chest rose and fell steadily, his silver eyes staring at the ceiling as if deep in thought. I wonder what he wanted to talk about?He finally turned to me, his silver eyes still looking serious, almost intimidating. Now this was making me a bit anxious.“What do you wanna talk about?” I probed.“Tell me what the hell happened on your way here,” he said. His jaw tensed and I sense that he was a bit pissed.I instinctively pulled the sheet up over my chest, suddenly feeling vulnerable under his gaze.“I thought you already knew. Isn’t that why you showed up?”His fingers slid into my hair, the rough pads of his fingertips brushing my scalp. It was such a gentle gesture, one I wasn’t
ALLISON.“Yes,” I answered breathily.Wesley didn’t waste any more time and pushed his cock inside my mouth. I whimpered around his girth as Daniel’s pace grew faster. The bed shook as he pounded on pussy. He pulled his member out until only the tip remained before plunging it back inside, balls deep.“Uhhmm!” I moaned deliriously as Wesley did the same with my mouth. He grabbed my hair while slid his cock in and out of my lips, using my mouth as his own pleasure toy. I loved it so much, how they used my body to feel good and at the same time, making sure that I would get the best pleasure of my life.Daniel growled as his tempo grew faster, his thumb rubbing on my clit while pistoning his member into my folds in frantic thrusts. On my side, River was still using my hand to jack himself off, making me lose my mind.My body tingled with unbearable pleasure. I screamed around Wesley’s cock as I felt another mind-blowing orgasm ripping all over my body. I tensed, my toes curling as I cam
ALLISON.By the time we returned home, I was tired. I barely had time to process everything before Emily greeted us at the door.“Amaris is already asleep. She spent the entire evening doing a SpongeBob marathon,” she informed me with a small smile.Wesley clapped his hand.“I knew she’d grow up loving cartoons. I should’ve bought her that SpongeBob onesie when I had the chance,” he said.“You still haven’t let that go?” River shook his head.I smiled at their banter before turning to Emily. “Thanks for watching her. I owe you one.”She waved a hand.“Nah, just make sure to invite me over for dinner next time.” She winked and made her way out, leaving me alone with my five men.Moments later, I found myself submerged in warm, soapy water. Daniel worked shampoo into my hair, his fingers massaging my scalp, while Wesley soaped my right leg gently.“You did great today,” Wesley said.I smiled, leaning into the sensation of River gently scrubbing my back.“I didn’t do much. I just accepte
ALLISON.Later, we went back to our old house to eat some lunch. Liam stood by the stove, his sleeves rolled up while he was cooking. Meanwhile, Amaris was sitting on the kitchen stool while playing with her doll. She swung her legs while watching Liam stir some vegetables.“Daddy Li, I want waffles!” she announced.Liam paused, his green eyes widening slightly as he turned to face her.“You want waffles for lunch?” He glanced at me, silently asking if this was okay.I leaned down and kissed Amaris on the cheek before ruffling her soft curls.“Why don’t you try eating some veggies for a change, Ami?” I asked.She scrunched up her nose and stuck her tongue out. “Yuck!”Liam snickered, clearly amused. “Alright, alright. I’ll make you some waffles.” Then, he turned to me with a smirk and winked. “I’ll just add some fruits to make it… uh, healthy?”I sighed, pressing a hand to my face.“She totally takes after me,” I sighed.Daniel chuckled from across the kitchen, nodding as he looked at
ALLISON.Somehow, I was reminded again of the question our father asked us in that fateful day at the river…“What are you willing to do for the person you love?”As I stared at the stones and wooden cross that marked his grave, I found myself smiling because after everything, after the battles, the sacrifices, the loss, and the victories… I knew my answer had remained the same.“I did everything I could for love, Dad,” I whispered, gently laying down a bouquet of yellow tulips, his favorite.Beside me, Sullivan knelt and did the same, only his bouquet was of amaryllis flowers which was our mom’s favorite. He stayed silent for a moment, his fingers brushing against the wood of the cross, before he exhaled deeply.It has been two years since the war ended. The bloody battle that tore through the Outworld, leaving scars on both the land and the people. It took time, so much time to rebuild everything that has been broken. Many people died, but a lot of them survived. Still, it didn’t me
ALLISON.“Allison, stop!”Somewhere, I could hear distant voices, calling me. But the rage I was feeling inside was louder than anything I have ever heard before. So, I didn’t stop. My flames grew hotter as my anger.“Allison!”Then, suddenly, I felt an arm around me, wrapping me, pulling me. At first, it wasn’t enough to stop me. But another pair of arms latched around me, forcing to stop. There were too many of them, strong big arms that wrapped in a tight embrace. I shrieked. I struggled, clawed, lashed out. But they didn’t let go. They held on, even as my fire burned them.Then I heard their voices growing louder and louder…“It’s okay, Allison. We’re here.” Daniel.“Come back to us.” Liam.“You did it, baby. It’s over.” River.“You’re safe now.” Mason.“We love you, Allison. Please.” Wesley.Their names rang in my mind as they continued to whisper soft words in my ear.“Allison…”The word sliced through my rage like a silver bullet. I gasped as reality crashed back into me. The f
ALLISON.Quinn was already there, clutching Sullivan’s twitching form, tears streaming down her face. Celestine ignored me. She took a slow step forward, tilting her head as if considering something.“He is at my mercy now. And I can make this agony last for as long as I want.” Her lips curled into a ruthless grin.She lifted her hand and curled her fingers into a fist, tugging to some invisible strings in the air. Sullivan screamed. His body arched, his hands clutching at his chest as if something were ripping him apart from the inside. It broke me to see him like this.Quinn sobbed, tightening her hold on him. “Stop it! Please, stop!”But Celestine wasn’t done. She turned her piercing gaze to me.“Come with me, Allison. Do that, and I will end his suffering.” Her voice was almost gentle now, coaxing.I shook my head, my entire body trembling. I wanted to believe her. I wanted to believe that I could save him. For the past few days, that was what I have been clinging to. I thought I
ALLISON.Quinn lunged, his massive paws slamming into Sullivan’s chest, forcing him to the ground. The impact shook the earth, but Sullivan barely reacted. He was stunned for a moment as he stared at his mate’s eyes.Quinn snarled, fangs bared, but I could feel the sorrow beneath his aggression. He didn’t want to fight Sullivan—his mate—but he had no choice.Sullivan let out a guttural growl and shoved Quinn off him with brute force. The sheer power of it sent Quinn skidding across the dirt, his claws digging into the earth to stop himself. But before he could recover, Sullivan was already back on his feet, his blazing eyes locking onto me.Then he charged.Faster than I’d ever seen him move before.But this time, he wasn’t alone.A blur of silver, black, and gold streaked across my vision as Mason, Liam, River, and Wesley—still in their wolf forms—slammed into Sullivan. Their combined force sent him crashing into a tree, the impact splintering the trunk with a deafening crack.The ba
ALLISON.A choked gasp left my lips, and I clamped my hand over my mouth. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Four dozen bodies lay strewn across the ground, their forms twisted in agony. Their skin was scorched, blackened as if burned from the inside out. My breath caught in my throat. There was only one person who could have done this.I swallowed hard, dreading what I would see when I looked up. And then, I saw him.Sullivan. My brother.He sat in the middle of the carnage, legs crossed as if waiting for us. His shoulders were hunched, his head bowed. But he wasn’t alone. Standing beside him, smiling wickedly, was Celestine.“You finally made it here. I almost got bored waiting for you,” Celestine said in her usual sickly-sweet voice.“What have you done?!” I growled in fury.“Ask your brother. He was the one who did the dirty work,” Celestine shot back.Sullivan’s face darkened. His expression was a mixture of anger, grief, and guilt. He looked as if he still couldn’t comprehend
ALLISON.Then Mason’s wolf form crashed into him, teeth sinking into the vampire’s throat. Blood sprayed as he tossed the limp body aside and ran faster.“Mason!” I was relieved that he took care of that last minute.Just when I thought that we could finally escape, Valentina’s figure emerged from one of the trees.“You didn’t really thought you could get away, right?” she mocked.Fuck!She ran alongside us, eyes gleaming in the dark. Mason tried to attack her but she just snappily avoided every attack as she kept up our pace. Her crimson eyes drifted to me.“You’re making a mistake by running away, Allison. You shouldn’t escape your destiny,” she said while running to my right side to avert Mason’s attack. Daniel ran to the opposite direction to keep our distance from her.“Fuck off!” I yelled at her, clutching the wooden stake in my hand.“You don’t realize what you are, Allison,” she muttered again.I tightened my grip on Amaris. “And what’s that?”“The key to absolute immortality!
