It's Dark Inside

Talking With Dorian

        We were walking to Dorian’s office in silence. I was sure the brothers were running scenarios in their heads, and I just wish they would tell me what was going on. Or, maybe they didn’t know? I wanted inside their gorgeous heads, but alas, I was stuck with myself.

                ‘I don’t like this, my love. Something doesn’t feel right, plus our Alpha’s wolves are not feeling like this is a good idea.’ Nyx warned as she sighed.

                ‘What are they saying to you?’ I asked.

                Nyx groaned. ‘Nothing much. They don’t want to leave us alone with him. They are afraid he is going to hurt us before they get a chance to mark us.’

                I stopped walking. ‘They are…’

                ‘Going to mark us. Yes, my love. That moment you were waiting for in the car, they planned on doing it at the festival under the blood moon.’ Nyx cooed in bliss at the thought.

                ‘The blood moon is tonight? Was this their plan the whole time, Nyx?’

                She shrugged. ‘Maybe. I’m not too sure. Their wolves have been too excited for the past long hours get out comprehendible sentences. I’m lucky that their wolves are coherent enough now after that stunt you pulled in the room.’

                ‘I just wanted to rile them up a bit.’ I let out a deep breath as I resumed walking.

                ‘You’re lucky they didn’t try to knot us then and there. Right in front of your best friend. Not that I really care.’ Nyx said with a huff.

                ‘Nyx, do you think I should be worried about their father? Do you think he would hurt us under the same roof as his son’s?’ I asked as I closed my eyes for a moment to focus on her.

                Nyx was silent for a moment. ‘Honestly, do not let your guard down around this Alpha, my love. He is no good for you or our Alpha’s. Please, be wary and do not trust a thing he says, no matter what it is.’

                ‘I won’t. I promise.’

                “Sweet Omega, are you alright?”

                I looked up to see my Alpha’s watching me attentively. I smiled and held my head high. “I’m fine, my King’s.”

                Ranger sucked in a breath. “Do we really have to wait for tonight?”

                “It’s tradition or some crap.” Redford said with a huff.

                “At least she has those.” Royce chuckled, referring to the hickeys on my skin.

                Ranger rolled his eyes. “I feel it’s not enough at this point.”

                I rolled my eyes at them. “I was wondering why you didn’t want to mark me. For while there I thought you just didn’t want too.”

                Just like that, I set them off again.

                All three surrounded me. Ranger grabbed me from behind with one hand on my stomach and one hand at my throat. Royce was to my left with his one hand on my chin, and Redford was on my right as he hiked up my left leg around his waist.

                “Do we really have to wait till tonight?” Ranger groaned out.

                Royce shrugged. “I’m having a really hard time with this, Red.”

                “You’re not the only one.” Redford growled.

                I couldn’t help the slight whimper that escaped my lips, causing the brothers to all growl at me.

                “Boys, control yourselves.”

                Hearing Dorian’s voice snapped everyone from whatever lust haze that had us. With a smooth motion he opened his door and gestured inside.

                “Come, Samara.”

                At that the triplets all growled again, but it was Redford that spoke. “Don’t order her around like you own her. Sam isn’t mom.”

                Dorian swallowed hard. “Please come inside, Samara. And just Samara.”

                “Better.” Ranger said as they all released the position they had me in.

                I nodded. As I went to go, I was stopped. Rough lips crashed into mine as Redford claimed them, then with a smirk, he force turned my head for Royce to place his on mine, then when he leaned away Ranger seized my swollen lips against his.

                “Today, boys.” Dorian huffed out.

                When they let me go, it was only for a second. Redford and Ranger stepped in front of me while Royce grabbed me from behind enveloping me in his arms.

                “I don’t like this.” Redford said as his eyes narrowed at his father.

                Ranger nodded. “I don’t either. We didn’t know you wanted to talk to her alone.”

                Dorian took a deep breath. “I’m not going to do anything to her, I promise.”

                “Yeah, we don’t believe you.” Royce said before planting kisses to the side of my neck. In my ear he faintly whispered for only us to hear. “If we had our way, you would already be marked and have had our knots five times over.”

                I know he felt me tremble against him. “Oh yeah?”

                “Don’t deny it, sweet Omega.” He said as he nipped at my neck. “You want us to knot you up as soon as we finish the mating process. Who do you think is going to be the roughest?”

                While Redford and Ranger talked to their father, me and Royce whispered back and forth.

                “I think Ranger is going to be the roughest. Then Redford, and then you. But honestly, I think all of you are rough.” I said as I felt him press his harness against me.

                “Do you want it? Our knots?” He asked as he leaned in to my ear.

                I let out a deep breath. “Yes. I want to feel each of you inside me, but I won’t give you a damn thing unless you mark me. I’m not going to give all of you what you want unless I get some kind of…appreciation.”

                “Sam, are you okay with this?”

                Ranger’s voice made me focus on what was going on in front of us. Not hearing a damn thing of what they said because of Royce I nodded.

                “I’ll be fine, I promise.” I said as Ranger and Redford came over to focus on me.

                Redford huffed. “Still don’t like this.”

                I patted the side of his face gently. “Have some faith in your mate.”

                “Queen. Is the more appropriate name to call yourself, baby.” Ranger said as he leaned in to kiss my cheek.

                “Please come and sit down with me, Samara.” Dorian said sweetly. Now I was nervous.

                With the triplets off doing whatever, or simply out in the hall, I was seated in front of their father with a calm expression over my face. I didn’t want him to think that he made me nervous, even thought I was sure he already knew that.

                Dorian let out a deep controlled breath. “Samara, how are you liking it here so far?”

                I shrugged. “I haven’t been anywhere outside the guest room Luna Makah put us in.”

                “I see.” He nodded. “As you may know, tonight is the Blood Moon festival. Tonight, it’s tradition that the new Alpha King marks and mates his Luna.”

                “I am just aware of this. What is it you wanted me to talk about, Alpha Dorian?” I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

                He sighed. “I am still opposed to this…blasphemy relationship you have with my son’s. I have no desire to see a small, weak temple girl as my Luna and Queen to my son’s.”

                I smiled as I nodded. “I kind of figured this is where the conversation was going to go. You know, if your sons had it their way, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.”

                “And why is that, Samara?” He asked as his eyes narrowed.

                “Because they wanted to mark me at least three times already.” I stated matter of factly. I know maybe I was being a b***h, but I was starting to get tired of everyone rejecting me before they even knew me.

                Dorian shot out of his seat. “That cannot happen!”

                Within a second’s notice, Redford came through the door with black over his eyes. I never took my eyes off Dorian as I held up a hand for him to stop.

                “It’s okay, Red. I’m fine. I got this.”

                Redford nearly lost it when I called him by his brother’s nickname. It sounded a thousand times better coming from my sweet lips.

                He nodded, moving to shut the door again. “I trust you, love.”

                When the door was closed again, Dorian huffed. “I should have known they would be waiting out in the hall. Anyways, it is tradition for the mate of the King to be marked under the blood moon. Are you still sure this is what you want? I can still have two Omega’s step in for two of my boys?”

                I giggled, causing Dorian to flush. “Have you ever been sure of anything in your life? I mean so sure, that nothing could stand in your way?”

                Dorian nodded, but didn’t say anything.

                I licked my lips. “That’s how I feel about them. I would rather die than be separated from the triplets. If you keep up this onslaught against me, your boys are going to keep pushing you farther and farther away until you are completely out of the pack. Personally, I don’t want that, but you’re not my father. So, it’s not my decision. I may not know you, but I do know this. From the moment those boys were born, you’ve had it out for them. I know about the plan to execute two of them, and it makes my wolf want to come out and rip you apart. Luckily for me, the priestesses taught me how to control my wolf change at all times. Your sons on the other hand, do not have that control. In my eyes, the only one fit to be making decisions for them, is their mother and themselves. Can I ask, which one of them did you deem fit to live?” 

                He stood up again and came around the desk, getting right in my face with his hands on either side of the chair I was sitting on. His eyes black. “Do not talk to me about my son’s as if you’ve been here this whole time. What I had planned on doing was for their benefit. It was to keep them from fighting about the throne in the future. I wanted one son, not three that were going to rip each other apart.”

                “How wrong you were.” A smirk adorning my beautiful face. “They shared. Didn’t do anything you thought that they were going to do. Maybe instead of taking charge of people, ask. Ask what they want. Because right now, I’m trying to get over the fact that if Makah didn’t catch onto your plans, I would be down two mates.”

                Dorian snorted. “Would that have really been so bad for you? I think those Alpha’s are going to rip you apart. Then what?”

                “You just don’t get it do you? I was made for those three. Not for one of them. For all of them. No matter how opposed you are to this. They will have me if they want me. As for the whole, ripping me apart. I was kind of hoping for it.” I said with a wink. “Do you always talk to other Omega’s about s*x like this? Can I have to admit. It’s kind of weirding me out.”

                As if catching onto my game, Dorian stood up straight. “You…are more dangerous than I expected out of you. Maybe you will last a few weeks.”

                I rolled my eyes. “Whatever, Alpha Dorian. Is this the only thing you needed to berate me about on this morning? Or was there something else?”

                “There is actually.” He said with his natural stern look on his face. “It is custom for the tradition to be wearing white to show purity and complete submission to your King, King’s. Wear your hair up, and please take off that horrid black nail polish. That is all.”

                I stood to be right in his face. “Now you’re starting to sound like my father.”

                With that I turned and left his office. I could smell oak and fresh cut cactus. It was Redford. I glanced down the hall to see him leaning against the wall with a blank look. I moved to be in front of him and leaned the way he was against the wall, eyeing him as if I was trying to read his thoughts.

                “How much of all that did you hear?” I asked, hoping he wasn’t mad with me.

                Redford shrugged. “Being King, I have exceptional hearing.”

                I nibbled on my bottom lip for a moment. “So, everything.”

                “Yeah.” He said, reaching over to take my hand in his. “How long have you known about our father trying to murder two of us?”

                “Not long. Your mother told me about it last night when she was walking to the room. It took a lot of control to keep myself from attacking him. It’s disgusting.” I watched as he began to kiss a trail from my hand up my arm.

                Redford smirked a little. “Protective over us already, love?”

                Rolling my eyes, I huffed. “Of course. You three are my mate’s, my Alpha’s, and to hear that I almost didn’t have two of you is…disturbing.”

                He snaked his arm around my waist, pressing his hips into mine. “Seeing you mad over us is very arousing.”

                “I figured it wasn’t your gun digging into my hip.” I said seductively as I wrapped my arms around his neck. “So, you like me being protective? I would have thought you wanted a submissive, whimpering pup of an Omega.”

                Redford’s chuckled rumbled against my chest. “Don’t get it wrong. When I take you to bed, you will be submissive and I guarantee whimpering under me.”

                I licked my lips, knowing it was going to excite him even more. “I want tonight to be here already.”

                “Excited for something, love?” He asked as he dipped his head down to nuzzle against my neck. His 5 o’clock shadow tickling my soft skin.

                I slightly moaned as his hands gripped my backside hard. With one hand, I pointed to the base of my neck. His eyes darkened for a moment as he lifted me off my feet and pinned me between him and wall. My thick legs wrapped around his waist as I smiled to myself.

                “Say it.” His husky voice said into my ear.

                I gulped. “You know what I’m talking about.”

                “Say it.” This time he used his commanding Alpha tone, shaking me to my core.

                “I want to be marked. I want it so bad my teeth hurt.” I moaned out as he pressed himself against me again.

                Redford nipped my neck teasingly. “If it was our way, this neck would already bear our marks, love.”

                “I know. I just got the list of demands from your daddy dearest. Hey, Red. Where are we going?” I asked as I giggled. While I spoke, he pulled us away from the wall and began walking down the hallway.

                “Away from ‘daddy dearest’ and going to find my brother’s.” He said mockingly, but darkness flashed over his eyes for a second and I was wondering what I had said to get that kind of reaction out of him.

                “What was that? Your wolf peeked out for a split second. What did I say…I know what it is.” I said as I leaned back to smile a seductive devilish smile at him. “You like it when I call you Red.”

                Redford stopped and fought within himself to remain in control. “Don’t tease me, Sam. We may be in the pack house, but I will take you against the closes thing to us. I’m not a patient man.”

                I licked my lips. “I’m kind of thinking about pushing my luck.”

                “Don’t.” He commanded.

                So far, Redford was the only one of the triplet’s that have used their Alpha tone with me. Maybe I was wrong about who was going to be the roughest? I was pulled from my thoughts when Redford watched something behind me with an irritated expression over his handsome face.

                “What it is, Red?” I placed a gentle hand on the side of his face.

                Redford sighed. “It’s Veronica.”

                I nodded. “Okay. Let me take a wild guess. She’s trying to be all over one of the other triplets? Maybe…Ranger?”

                “Spot on, love. What are you going to do about it, Luna?” He said as he raised an eyebrow, daring me.

                I took a deep breath. “Set me down, Red. I guess I’m going to go potentially embarrass myself and slap a hoe.”

                “I got your back.” Redford set me down and without a moment to spare I turned and headed for Ranger.
