All Chapters of Fusillade: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hearing that Lex had been using inhibitors had Azrin's omega dismayed. His alpha shouldn’t be pumping himself with such awful chemicals just so he couldn’t act on his birthright and mount his chosen omega. Azrin rolled his eyes at himself because that line of thought was exactly why Lex did this in the first place. Was that really how Azrin felt about the situation, or was he just falling back on teachings he had railed and disagreed with since the beginning?His omega wasn’t upset because Lex couldn’t act on his birthright; Azrin himself knew that wasn’t it. The brunet had caused the alpha to be this trepidatious, something the male never was. He was calculating, intelligent, and arrogant; but cautious, especially to this extreme, was completely out of character.“You teased me earlier about us having sex, knowing you couldn’t, jerk. Also, why would you think I wouldn’t slick for you? I’ve wanted to belong to you, in whatever capacity you’d have me, for as long as I can remember,” th

Now, let’s get one thing straight, Lexus knew he was a fucking asshole. He never had and never would claim otherwise. All that being said, he’d never seen himself as a truly vindictive person. Not until Azrin’s first claiming ceremony where he was up for selection. The young omega had just turned fourteen and was already being sampled on the auction block. Lexus had never felt so murderous in his fucking life. Granted it wasn’t as awful as it could have been. Something he would learn as the years went on and Azrin got closer and closer to aging out. However, at the time, a fifteen-year-old Lexus had to swallow a challenging growl when the pre-rutting teen alpha snubbed his brunet with a rough snap of his jaws causing the freckled omega to whine and cower. The incident had triggered a pain in his heart the blond hadn’t thought he was capable of.On their way back to the manor, Azrin cried. While that was nothing new, the silent sizeable tears accompanied the most wretchedly depressed p

If Azrin had answered with the first thing that came to mind, the answer would have been a resounding ‘yes’. However, true to form; he hesitated, and decided to think his response over. Logically of course. He was sure his brows were furrowed contemplatively as Lex let out a resigned sigh, attempting to allow the omega to work through his mental process.First and foremost, Azrin thought that rejecting Lexus completely was not a good way to start off their courting phase. So, he felt like he should for the alpha if not for himself, and yet, now that he was thinking about it; he was unsure. I mean, seeing someone naked…and actually touching…and his anatomy… and just... it was different, right?“Az, I need you to get out of your fucking head and talk to me,” Lexus rumbled out as he ground his hips down and into the Brunet’s jolting him out of his thoughts.“I- sorry, I just - I want to say yes, I- Just, but-,”“But?”He stopped, pulling his bottom lip between his fangs, and just stared a

Azrin didn’t move, cry, or panic in any way.  The omega had been wondering when Lex would finally snap, and in an odd sort of way he was glad for it. God knows the omega had had enough breakdowns in the last twenty-four hours to fill his quota for the month. So, with that in mind he allowed a small smile to grace his lips before redirecting the irate vampire.“So, is it true that your knot will be the size of your fist? I used to think they told us that to scare the crap out of us, but now. Now, looking at your body for myself. Yeah, it’s probably true. Am I weird for being both terrified and excited about the prospect? Like in a go big or go home sort of way? Geeze, no wonder they prepare heat inducers for our first time. I can’t imagine- scratch that, I so can. Oh my god, wha-,”“Azrin, you’re fucking rambling. You psychopath,” Lexus pointed out. Literally, as the alpha tapped his forehead with an index finger.“Oh? Was I? Oops, I didn’t reali-,”“

Why Lexus tormented himself this way, he would never really know. He was standing here fumbling his way through different sheer fabrics that made him want to rip every single one to shreds. None of these were what he was looking for and wouldn’t do him or Azrin any good. Even the liners were sheer, and it was beginning to drive the fiery blond up the wall.Omegan clothing was a joke. Honestly, Lexus wasn’t sure why they even put clothes on their omegas if this was all they were willing to provide them. He knew, in theory, it was to give them an alluring and expensive look. The more prestigious the family, the more expensive and decorated the fabrics that adorned the lower cast were. It was still fucking stupid.A few days ago, Azrin’s newly commissioned attire had come in -since the last set had been torn to smithereens- the brunet had been beside himself. The stress and embarrassment had been cloying as Rin had been forced to try it on so the tailor could make any last-minute adjustme
