CHAPTER 46

Severus entered the castle and looked around the living room with a frown. He would usually be greeted with a sight of Lucius, who would give him a smile before continuing to write down things. Tom would be walking out from his chamber from looking at ancient runes and looking up different types of dark magic.

And nowadays he had gotten used to Richard, Ali and Gerry coming down here about right at this time to gossip or just talk about things in general. But even those three new additions to the family were no where to be seen.

It seemed like Lucius had realized that Severus would most likely he returning from his shop at the very instant and seemed to trudge up the stairs from that special little place that was built into the manor long ago to house disobedient omegas.

"Severus." Lucius seemed so done, as he took the perfume he had told the slightly older omega to get for him. Lucius gave him a gentle kiss on his cheek as a show of gratitude.

"Did something happen?" Severus asked, looking around the place with worry welling up in his chest.

"Alot happened today. Tom has been sent to those special dungeons and he will be staying there for, I don't know how long. He beat Gerry and I am sure if alpha and I had not gotten there on time he would have used crucio on the omega and Merlin forbid, try to sexually scar the boy." Tom has always had a bit of a lose screw. And all his mates knew that.

"Alpha locked him away?" Severus questioned and Lucius gave him that look. The look he gave to the children when they would be asking or doing something utterly foolish.

"Oh don't be daft, obviously it was alpha who locked him away. And well Tom half shifted and clawed alphas forearms. I don't know what to do to get him out of there." Lucius said, fumbling with the perfume bottle in his hands as the two walked towards the couches to continue their talk there.

"Is there something that got you scared?" Severus asked and Lucius broke down.

"I was afraid that if Tom had used crucio, he would have left Gerry sterile. And that alpha would have been angered, very angered." Lucius whispered, letting Severus pull him into an awkward hug, trying to comfort him.

"Do you wish to wait longer to carry a child?" Harry asked, Gerry looked up at with red tinting his cheeks.

"I will be happy to do what alpha wishes for." Gerry replied, the perfect omega an alpha could hope and wish for. Harry smiled, Gerry was just what he needed.

"Then, I hope to have a child in my arms nine months after your heat." Harry said and Gerry smiled, ready to please his alpha.

Harry pulled the younger into his arms, taking in his scent and pressing his tongue against Gerry's neck, where he would lay his mark and claim Gerry as his. All his mates had one. And Gerry would be next one to get it.

'Ask him which child will be taking the throne?' Fire urged and Gerry was also curious, so without thinking he blurted out his question. Harry looked at him and chuckled, making the younger feel small.

"The child that comes from the queen and Lady Potter usually has the first right to claim the throne. Unless the child is weak or unwilling to take the position. I hope you would give me a powerful heir because that child will have all rights to claim the throne." Harry said, placing a hand on his waist and pulling him into his lap. The other squealed in surprise but quickly settled into the alphas lap.

"But Lucius has been queen and Lady for a longer time. Wouldn't it be his children that have the first right?" Gerry questioned and Harry smiled, playing with Gerry's hair.
