The Sun and The Moon

Chapter 7

Gavin

I looked down to keep from looking him in the eyes. There was something about Aaron that just f*****g attracted me. It pulled me right into him when I least expected it and I was always caught fighting to stay a float. It was raw and primal, no other way to explain it. In these brief few seconds like this between us, I would have begged him to f**k me if he even hinted at it. Tempest was my girl, but there was something damn near electrical about Aaron at times for me. My f*****g d**k started to twitch as my eyes caught his wicked winking damn near sapphire blue ones. I had never wanted a man but f**k me I did want Aaron at times. It both shamed the s**t out of me and caused my balls to f*****g ache with want. I knew Aaron didn’t see me like that. I had only ever seen him with women and a few times we had even shared a woman between us. Those times for me were both mind blowingly amazing and a complete mind f**k. When Aaron lay next to me all dark tan and muscled, my f*****g d**k would not stop weeping at the sight of him. He was like a dark, vengeful, and mouth watering God and I never even looked at the women anymore. I knew they were a necessary evil if I wanted to be close to Aaron like this and still be able to meet his gaze in the morning. When he entered those women, I f*****g wanted it to be me and that fact has taken me several years and a lot of shower jerking to admit to. Not that I’d ever admit it to anyone but myself. Those f*****g intrusive thoughts about my alpha and brother needed to only come out and play when Aaron wanted.

“Gab!” Aaron growls almost playfully at me ripping my thoughts from his f*****g hard body and back to the problem at hand. “With us, as our gamma.” He practically purrs at me as I think it over. I know he’s waiting to hear my opinion.

Alpha U could be a very rough and dangerous place. There weren't just wolves at Alpha U, and Tempest had never once been off pack grounds since she arrived. I think she understood in a vague way other creatures existed but it’s not something either Aaron or I had thought to explain to her. For the first time, I realized just how sheltered Decora had kept Tempest. Tempt had never even gone to school with the other kids her age. Never left pack grounds with the others on trips or vacations. Never even been to the human territories as far as I could remember. Alpha U would be a complete culture shock for her and that’s before you add the fact that no women attend the school. They’re not even supposed to be on the campus but we always sneak them in for overnight stays. Everyone does it. There’s not any female teachers either. I know Tempt has always masked her scent like the rest of her and she may pass for a very small man if we could keep the other guys from becoming interested in her. Her small size alone would bring out some alpha and beta’s primal instincts to claim her even if they thought she was male.

The alternative was to find some place and leave her and I knew after what she’s been through Aaron and I couldn’t leave her. If we ran with her they would find us quickly. Aaron’s a big ass man at 6’7 and he stands out in any crowd. Our auras would give us away before anyone even saw us and she wouldn’t be safe with us in the wind but at the school, maybe. We could use what the school already had in place to our advantage.

One, all the air was filtered and scentless at the school. This was to prevent all the pheromones and testosterone from clogging the air around us and inciting us all to rip each other's throats out. We weren’t just talking shifters in general either, but s**t like vampires and witches. Nasty men that could sling curses if horny and set off by a pheromone blast. Aaron and I saw two witches killing one another over a misplaced hoodie on campus. A f*****g hoodie!

The school also believed in everyone being totally anonymous. We were not allowed to share our real names, or packs, or even our species with the other students. The shadowy figure that ran the school wanted any and all students who came there to be equals. So no humble bragging you were some rich momma’s boy alpha from a large pack. We had ranks given to us by the school itself depending on how our performance was on tests and various physical activities. Aaron and I were both alphas now. We ranked top ten at the school and had always taken great pride in it. The lowest rank is Delta but just being able to say you attend is a flex outside the school. Any important figure you might hear about or see would have most likely attended Alpha U at some point and I knew Tempt had always wanted to see the place.

“Our roommates?” I ask Aaron and he slides in close.

“We explain that our gamma is young and inexperienced and keep her away from them. They aren’t even there half the time and all the doors have locks. We just need to keep an eye on her.”

It was truthfully the only plan we had right now. Even if we could only hide her for a few months this way, it would be months we could look at other options. Right now, we don’t have time to look at everything.

“Let’s do this.” I told him as I stood.

“We only take what she brought here. We will stop closer to school and grab her sweats and hoodies so she will blend in. We can explain it to her as we drive but for now I don’t want you to wake her. She’s been through too damn much tonight!” Aaron growls softly and looks to my bedroom door. He runs a tired hand through his hair and walks over to her bags she dropped.

“I’ll start taking our luggage through the front of the pack house. Let everyone see us leave without her. Bring her down the balcony and slide her into the back seat when I grab my stuff and yours. I’ll drive us right there f**k through the gates and dare them to stop me.” Aaron hisses and I reach out in reflex to soothe him. His blue eyes flicker to me and for a second I swear he leans in to me trying to catch my scent. He pulls back quickly and smirks at me. “You smell like an old drunk beta.” Aaron and I laugh remembering the crunch from that asshole's jaw.

Aaron leaves our suites carrying Tempt’s bags mixed in with ours. He sprayed them all down with a descenter that made my nose itchy and my eyes run. I hated that chemically smelling s**t but we needed it to totally hide Tempt. We used it all the time at school so Aaron and I almost always carried it on us out of habit.

I eased in the room and saw Tempt looking heartbreakingly small laying in the center of my bed. In my deepest, wickedest fantasies I’d be sandwiched in between Tempt and Aaron. It was my dream for her to shift one day and look at me and cry mate. It was a sin to want them both, but f**k me I did want them both. Having them both in the same space with me in our suite was going to give me the longest running case of blue balls known to man. Would I survive? Who f*****g knew because if even one of them wiggled a finger at me I’d explode in a million f*****g pieces.

“Gab?” Tempt whispered and I leaned down to scoop her.

“Go back to sleep. We’re are getting you the f**k out of here right now.” I whisper in her ear and she cuddles into my chest like a spoiled cat.

“My letter from Moon? I looked but couldn’t find it while you were gone. I think it’s in my clothes in Mom’s room.” She says it so sadly my feet almost start walking to the beta’s floor, but I stop myself. I wasn’t going to risk someone taking her from us for a letter from that asshole Moon. That prick could be in this pack right now watching her and doing f*****g nothing to help her. f**k that asshole and if I ever lay my eyes on him, I’ll plant him where he stands. Tempt belongs with Aaron and I.

“We can’t stop now.” I try soothing her with my purrs.

“I didn’t even get to read it.” She whines and I swear for the first time I think she might actually be crying.

“I’m so sorry Princess, but you mean more to me than that letter does.” I purr louder trying to ease her as best I could. Aaron’s purrs worked better because he was an alpha, and I wish now I’d let him carry her. I hated seeing her so broken.
