Puppy

Chapter 18 - Fifi

I rushed to put on my pair of sweatpants, catching the sweater Felix tossed at me from his closet. His shirt was on backward and he wasn't wearing pants.

"You're an older brother?!" 

He nodded as he fixed his shirt and slipped on some shorts.

"How many?"

"Four. Oldest to youngest are me, Charlotte, Grayson, Justin, and Lola."

My jaw dropped and I looked at him like he had two heads.

"What's that look for?" he asked, ruffling his hair and walking into the bathroom.

"How do you...act around them?"

There was silence before he poked his head out.

"What do you mean?" he asked slowly.

I hesitated before replying, "Well, you weren't exactly the nicest person to me at school before, so I was wondering if you were the same at home. I would believe you if you aren't, you're so sweet to me, I'd imagine you'd be the same way with your siblings."

He nodded understandingly.

"I'm a completely different person here than at school."

"Fifi! We're home!" a high-pitched voice called out.

"Fifi...?" I smirked as I looked at him skeptically.

His face flushed bright red and he stuttered,

"I-It's just a-a name they gave me!"

"In here!" he shouted back.

I could hear the thumping of feet running down the hallway and stopping at the door. A little girl barged in just as I shoved the last of my clothes in the suitcase.

She was short, small, and looked practically identical to Felix.

'Must be Lola,' I thought, remembering his youngest sister.

She laughed and ran up to my mate, jumping into his arms and wriggling around as he hugged her tight, her small frizzy tail wagging happily.

"Guys! Come in here, I have someone to show you!" he smiled, looking at me as he set his sister down.

"Who is it?" a boy asked. A taller, older-looking girl walked in with two shorter boys behind her.

"Everyone, meet Vincent," he said, gesturing to me.

"Is this another one of your football friends?" asked the smaller boy who looked distastefully at me.

"No, he's not anything like that," Felix said, walking over and wrapping his arms around me, pulling my face close to his chest.

"He's my mate."

Everyone's face turned to shock as my love kissed my ears.

"You found them?!"

"Finally!"

"How'd someone as ugly as you land someone as cute as him?"

"Are you gonna get married?"

Everyone shouted question after question and I couldn't help but to cower in fright at the loudness. Felix noticed and covered my ears.

"Hey! You're scaring him! Quiet down a little."

I blinked a few times before blushing and looking down at my feet.

Lola walked up to me and whispered, "Sorry. Are you okay?"

I gave her a small smile and whispered, "I'm much better now. It's very nice to meet you."

She giggled and hugged my legs.

"I like him, Fifi, we should keep him here."

"Lola, he has a family of his own. He can't live with us," the taller girl said.

Lola pouted as I grimaced.

"Actually, Vince doesn't come from a good family and we just came from his house so he could pack everything and live here with me," Felix explained as he hugged me tighter.

I looked at my feet again to escape their gazes.

"Yay!" yelled Lola as she hugged my legs again.

"Are you serious? What would Mom and Dad think? That's just another mouth to feed. Where's he gonna sleep?" Charlotte asked, furrowing her eyebrows and raising her voice.

"Charlie, stop it! Didn't you hear he doesn't have nice parents? Wouldn't you want to leave if Mama and Papa were mean to us?" the little boy said, holding his sister's hand and tugging at it.

She yanked her hand away and stormed out of the room, grumbling incoherently.

"Don't listen to her. Our parents would be happy to have you and would definitely understand where you're coming from," reassured the older boy, giving me a small smile.

I returned the gesture and looked up at Felix.

"Felix, are you sure it's okay for me to stay? I mean, I can go ba-"

"Absolutely not! You're not going back to that hell hole. You're staying here with me where it's safe." 

My eyes widened at his authority and I couldn't help but whimper.

"And that's when the children leave," said the older brother. He took his siblings' hands after saluting a farewell and closed the door.

Felix rolled his eyes and I giggled.

"I'm sorry Grayson's like that," he said sheepishly. But I shook my head and embraced him.

"It's alright...Alpha..."

I felt my mate stiffen before his large hands encaptured my waist and I was pulled closer. A low growl rumbled deep within his chest.

"Say that again..."

I gulped before I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my nose to his neck, breathing in my mate's addicting scent.

"My Alpha," I whispered.

His grip tightened and I purred softly. "All mine."

He picked me up and I quickly wrapped my legs around his waist, feeling a hard bump between my cheeks. "Knew that would get a rise out of you, but damn. You feel harder than you did with that leash on~"

His pupils enlarged and his cheeks flushed a light pink. I kissed them both softly before rubbing my scent gland against his neck and purring more. "Gotta make sure everyone knows you're taken." 

My mate set me down and panted heavily. 

"Y-you're such a tease, love. I w-won't be able to stop myself if you continue doing these things... I-I need to make us all food anyway." 

I giggled and pecked his nose. 

"Of course, hun. Can I help?" 

He nodded and cleared his throat. 

"C-can you take care of this first..." he asked shyly, covering his obvious hard-on.
