CLAIMED BY THE ALPHAS {18+}

🐺THE ESCAPE🐺

LORELAI POV

I was shaken awake from another moment of weakness by the gentle rousing of the nice guard who had been feeding me. Vaughn smiled down at me as I sat up, groggy with nausea and weakness that I had to fight, to get my connection back with my wolves. But I couldn't feel it, I was too spent, the connection too far away and yet they felt closer, closer than they had been.

"Vaughn?" I asked and he helped me to my feet.

"C'mon. We have to go." He said and I frowned, planting my feet so he couldn't move me, eyeing the open door to my cell warily. I had no idea if this was a trap or not and I was too tired to walk into any more of those.

"Why? Where are we going?" I demanded, pulling my arm back. He looked over his shoulder at the open tunnel and then back at me with wide eyes.

"Because your wolves are here and I'm pretty sure they're about to go on a killing spree to find you so I'm taking you to them instead." He said and my heart leaped into my throat. My wolves were here? Then he was right, they were definitely about to murder their way to me. Good. Maybe the humans deserved it. But whether they did or not, I wanted my Alphas more than the human's demise so I moved fast from the cell.

Vaughn helped me get through the tunnel, practically lifting me up the stairs so I didn't collapse. We stepped into a hut that used to be my father's but now it was filled with chairs and a war table at the front. That didn't look good. I tried to peer over it, getting a quick glimpse as my strength returned.

It was fresher, and less suffocating in my veins the longer I was out from underground. Something was definitely going on here and I was going to help my Alphas figure it out but for now, I just wanted to see them.

The link connected then, strong and sure like whatever had suffocated it was gone and I sucked in a breath, smiling as their essence filled me. They were outside.

I took off towards the door, Vaughn following behind as I threw the door to the hut open, tears springing to my eyes as through the misting rain, stood my three Alphas.

Kai. Derik. Brax.

All with thundering glares and huge, intimidating bodies. Kai's claws were out, all of them with red eyes and I knew I had only just made it in time.

Their eyes met mine, ignoring the presence of my father who I would deal with in a minute.

And then Kai was there, in front of me, scooping me up in his arms, inhaling my scent which was probably so foul by now but I didn't care, I wanted his too. I buried my face in his neck as he hauled me off the ground, wrapping his arms around my waist, his hand pinning my head against him. I clutched him so hard, gripping his skin as tight as I could before he pulled my head back and covered my mouth with his. I kissed him back, the feeling filling my body so fast like we'd never had any time apart. I sighed against him, cupping the back of his neck as my body sparked with the dormant pleasure that had hidden so deep while I had been captive.

He growled against me before letting me go and then Derik was pulling me into him, holding me just as tight as Kai had. He kissed me softly, not as desperate as Kai but just as deep. His eyes met mine as I rubbed my thumb down his face, needing to feel it, to savor it. I hadn't been sure if I'd see him again and that pain was still so raw. As it was in his eyes.

"Did they hurt you? Are you and our child okay?"

I nodded, hugging him again, "We're alive." I gave him the general overview because the details of how I was treated might push him over the edge. But I forgot about the link. His body shook and he pulled me back, pinching my chin between his fingers.
