Story Four - Part Five
I was burning up. My skin was on fire and my throat was dry. I drank some water I found on the side table. I heard whispering but no one was in my room. I was alone. I looked around and found myself in a different shirt than when I went to sleep. And I think my underwear are missing. What the hell?
I suddenly heard a voice I recognized above the others. “Dad?” I called. What was he doing here, and who was with him?
I heard the rush of feet. Why all of a sudden is all the sound amplified? Three men came charging into my room. Randy and Kurt and my dad?
Oh. My head is spinning.
Dad comes over to the side of the bed while Randy and Kurt linger near the door.
“How are you feeling, sweetheart? Any pain?” Pain? Why would I be in pain?
A rush of heat went through me and I didn’t see my dad anymore. All I saw was Randy. He looked good enough to eat. I felt my thighs get wet. My n*****s hardened. A movement next to him caught my eye. I looked over at Kurt. My heart felt like it might beat out of my chest. He looked downright edible too, and I moved to get out of bed. I wanted to taste them both. Right. f*****g. Now. I knew instinctively that they would be able to take care of this ache deep inside me.
“Dania,” my father growled. My eyes whipped to him.
“What the f**k is happening to me, Padre?” I asked him.
Randy and Kurt were both smirking. I can smell them now. Their combined scents were intoxicating. A heady mix of male and dominance and lust.
“Language, Dania. I can explain.” I didn’t want his explanation. Well, I did, but it could wait.
I tried to get up again, but he halted me. “Dammit, let me explain. You cannot mate with these, these, shifters,” he spat.
“What do you mean ‘mate’ and why not?” This was a very strange conversation to be having with one’s father, I think, but my brain is fuzzy. I need Randy and Kurt to touch me, everywhere.
Five Minutes Earlier
We followed Padre into Dana’s bedroom. He was sitting at her side watching her sleep.
“You can see that she’s fine for now. We need to talk.” I said to him.
He slowly got off the bed and walked toward Kurt and I.“You haven’t mated her yet.” He said as if relieved.
“No. We only met a few days ago. Things are complicated. You never told her what she is. We tried to explain things back on our packlands, but she freaked out and ran off. And that was only about shifters. Lycan's are a completely different story.”
“I had my reasons,” he said curtly.
“I’m sure you did, but now you have to explain to her that she is Lycan. She’s got a lot of catching up to do.” f**k, this guy.
“I will take her back to my home lands. I will show her what she is and explain everything.” He stated as if that was that.
“Hold on there, pal. We are her mates. You cannot split us up. It’s bad for her since she’s in her first heat, and it’s bad for us. We are hanging onto our wolves by a thread as it is.”
“I could just kill you both. That would be the end of it.” Mother f*****g s**t on toast.
“You could try.” My wolf growled through me. We weren’t going down without a fight.
“Dad?” Dana called from the other room.
We all rushed in. Her dad growled at her when she started to get up. She was looking at us as if she wanted to eat us. Good. I had something I wanted to feed her.
“What do you mean ‘mate’ and why not?” Dana asked in a surly tone. She really wanted to get to us, and we really wanted to let her.
“The three of you need to get a hold of yourselves! You cannot consummate your union until I explain things, Dania! It’s important that you know certain things before you take these men as your mates!” Her father was quite domineering. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he was the Alpha of his pack.
“Dad, I don’t know how long I can hold this off, so you better start talking.” Dana demanded.
He growled. I’m sure he wasn’t used to being spoken to like the way the three of us have so far. Our wolves were pushing us and I bet the Lycan in Dana wanted out too.
“Sit back. I will not allow this. I have men downstairs. They will rush up here and subdue you all if you do not listen to me now. This is the easy way, but we can make this hard.” Her dad was a real asshole.
“Speak,” Dana snarled at him. She wasn’t joking when she said that they didn’t have a good relationship.
“I’ve had about all I’m going to take of your disrespect, Dania. I am Alpha of my pack. To be more precise, I am King of the Lycan Clan. You are a princess. To mate with those not of your kind is an offense to all Lycans.”
“With all due respect, DAD, I don’t care. You chose not to let me into your world and not tell me that I possibly have a beast inside me. That is the first thing these two shifters did when they learned I was their mate. They took me to their home and tried to explain things to me, thinking I was human. HUMAN! So excuse me, Padre, when I say, no, I won’t listen to you now.”
WOW! Our mate is amazing. I told Kurt through the link. He is awed as well.
“From what I understand, you ran away from them. You must have had some second thoughts about their way of life.” He said calmly, and I was surprised that he took that dressing down so well.
“I will admit, I freaked out a little, but that is on YOU! I should have grown up with this knowledge, but you left us. Wait. Does Mom know? What about Zane and Liana? Are they going to be Lycan too?”
“I thought you said you didn’t want an explanation?” Now he was going to be petty.
“Well, that was before it was just happening to me.” She declared righteously. I wanted to chuckle.
“Dana, we want you. Our wolves want you, but you probably do need to hear your father out. It is a lot to take in. As long as we get a chance to talk with you as well. Our wolves are going crazy thinking they might lose you. Kurt and I aren’t far behind them.” I said, grabbing her attention before her father could say anything else.
Her demeanor softened. “I want you. I want you both. I am excited that we are mates. I’m sorry I ran away. I should have listened and not reacted in that way. I’ve had time to think about things, but then I got these horrible cramps and I have lain in bed for almost twenty-four hours in pain.” She dropped that bomb on us and her father.
I could see the wheels turning in his head. He wanted her away from us.
“Your father has other ideas.” I said, so she would realize the predicament the three of us were in.
“I can’t let you mate with them until you see our Lycan ways. We are far superior in every way.” He was really piling it on.
“If I had been raised with you, then maybe I might agree. I chose them before I knew what they were. Before I knew what I was. If Lycans are superior, maybe that is why I have two mates instead of one. Wait. Who is your mate? Is Mom your mate? Do you have more than one mate?” She appeared horrified by this thought.
He sighed. “We need to go to my pack. I will allow these shifters to come as well. I will also send a car for your mother and siblings. We all need to talk. About everything.” He stood up. “Get dressed. We will wait in the living room. Pack a small bag for an overnight stay.”
He started for the door but waited for us to go through first. I guess that made sense, but I didn’t like it.
I said to her over his shoulder, “I don’t trust your father. We will wait in the living room. If we are not there when you get there, it is not by our choice.” It was a warning.
Her father growled and I smirked. He had planned something nefarious. I needed to call my father.
