Hold My Hand

Building A Family

Hector was surprised when Giovanni said he will make lunch. He made Margherita Pizza with cheese abound. Even Martha had nothing to complain about.

"Well, seeing one alpha in here was surprising enough. Two? That's a record somewhere," she said and Giovanni just glared at her before taking it to the table. She winked at him. He knew she loved to mess with the children sometimes. Maybe all people who are old enough to be grandmothers are the same? A little eccentric.

They all ate even though Myles looked at the food a little suspiciously. Hector ate first. He wanted them to trust each other. Once they finished lunch, Giovanni had some work to attend to. Hector missed Estevan's presence, but his scent was still on him.

Estevan returned in the evening. Hector waited till the children left before pouncing on his alpha. He made sure that Estevan smelled of him. He hugged the man tight scenting him. Going outside means strange scents of alphas omegas and betas and he hated it on the alpha now. When they mate, his omega instincts won't feel so fragile.

"Mine," he mumbled as the alpha kissed him gently.

"Mm, yours," said Estevan as he gently nipped at his skin. He brought their cocks together, the contact sending tremors of pleasure through his body. It felt so good and glorious. He felt like he was floating when he came down from throes of passion.

"Are you feeling better?" asked Estevan.

"Much better," he said and ran his hand over of Estevan's face.

"How long do you think?"

"Maybe one more day according to the doctors," said Hector. Estevan nodded.

They found the children in the hall. Lukas and Giovanni seemed to be arguing over something and the other four were watching open mouthed.

"Never talk down to me again," snapped Lukas.

"I will talk how I wish. You won't be able to shut me up," said Giovanni. They both seemed furious.

"What's going on here?" asked Hector. Both turned. Lukas looked close to tears and Giovanni simply looked furious. He stormed off.

Hector took Lukas's hand in his.

"What happened?"

"I was just telling him the security requirements. I have no idea why he thinks I am set on controlling him. The damage he can do to me, he has already done," said Lukas and stormed off.

"Ah, do they have a history we don't know about?" asked Myles. Hector told them how Lukas was the investigation officer of the case that was fabricated by Giovanni.

"Really? Lukas is my hero," said Myles.

"Giovanni is going through a tough time in his life. You should be helping him, not picking fights and sides," said Estevan firmly. Myles pouted but nodded while El was resolute as he gave a serious nod and ran off after Giovanni.

"I will talk to Lukas," he said and went off in search of him. He saw Lukas standing in an empty corridor looking upset.

"Hey"

"Your highness. I am sorry I forgot my place. I know he is the prince, the next heir and I should be respectful. He just- Lukas broke off.

"If he is being rude, you have no reason to be respectful. I won't demand that of you. I know you are angry at him and he somehow looks at anyone I care about as some sort of competition, but we will get out of this strange phase," said Hector.

Lukas gave a small smile.

"He is as stubborn as you," said Lukas.

Hector smiled too.
