Forever Yours

Chapter Thirteen

Connor Chase

There's still no real update on the mom. She's out of surgery, but she hasn't woken up yet. The sad part? They don't think she's going too. She had a lot of internal bleeding, and they barely had it under control before they had to stop.

Ethan is talking with his dad on what to do with the kids, but it's sounding like we have to send them back to the other mate.

"There's just nothing you can do E. You're not the alpha yet, you don't have a marked mate. I can't do anything with those kids either. I'm sorry" Alpha Noah says, rubbing his forehead.

"What if I was marked, and he was Alpha?" I ask, and Noah sighs.

"Then until the mother woke up you guys could have guardianship over them. If the mother passes on our soil, you could adopt them. You can claim them as your own, because we can prove to the other Alpha how abusive the father was."

"Adopting two kids is a big commitment," Luna Branson says. "It's not something you can take lightly. Kids are a long term thing" He says it to me, and me only.

"Just because I struggle with some mental health issues doesn't mean I can't handle a lifelong commitment to children" my voice is stern, and my eyes narrow.

"Maybe that's what you think, but i think it impairs your ability to make that decision right now"

I physically flinch from that. "I disagree completely" Ethan says, "I think him taking the steps to get help shows he's committing to being better and i think if we want to take that next step it's not either of your decisions"

"I think mental health impairs a lot more than you and I know E" Luna says, shaking his head. "We don't know what that's like, and when you can't hold a job longer than a month, i think committing to a child is a pretty big leap"

"I think you're prejudging me without even knowing me"

"Just like everyone in this pack will do" Branson nods. "Yeah I am."

"You're kind of being a dick" Ethan snaps.

"I'm being logical," Branson argues.

"I wouldn't just toss a kid aside"

"I'm saying it's not fair for us to assume that you would or wouldn't. Based on your past-"

"A past I'm trying to fix and make never repeat. People like you make it hard for people with mental health to even attempt change. Why bother if people are always going to judge us for our pasts?" i scoff, pushing myself to my feet. "Why get better if it's just going to be held over my head?" i turn on my heel and fucking leave.

I have the little girl in my lap, while the little boy plays with the trucks I bought. I got some stuff for the little girl too, but she just stays in my lap with it.

I stormed out of the Alpha's office about two hours ago, and Ethan's been in there ever

since. I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's been said or what the plan is. But I've been keeping myself busy.

There's a knock, then Uncle Xan comes in. He smiles, and makes his way over to me, sitting on the floor. "Hey kiddo"

"Hey" I murmured.

"Heard what Bran said" he clears his throat. "He was wrong, but I'm all he knows for mental health. He saw me not leave bed for days. And do a lot of bad things to myself. He doesn't know anything better. He has seen me with my own kids, but I had time to heal before I had them. He's just looking out for Ethan."

"He personally attacked me. He won't give me the chance to show him i can do it"

"It's not up to him. It's up to our alpha. Ethan"

"Yeah when he gets it" I mumble.

"You're mishearing me. Ethan is officially our alpha as of an hour ago" he smiles. "Someone believes in you"

"You fucking with me?" my mouth parts slightly.

"He believes in you"

I can't stop a smile from forming, and I gently set the little girl in Xan's lap. She starts to whine, but Xan can calm her down within seconds. "I'll be right back"

"Go, love" he nods, and I quickly make my exit. I start heading to Alpha's office, down the stairs and the hall when I see my mate. I practically throw myself at him, wrapping my arms and legs around his body. He catches me, his hands latching onto my ass to hold me in place.

"Hi" he sounds confused, and i start kissing him. I give quick pecks to his lips, then his cheeks, and his neck and back up to his lips.

"Hi, Alpha"

"Uncle Xan told you?" he walks us somewhere, i'm not sure where. But it's secluded, and he doesn't set me down. "It was supposed to be a surprise"

"You want to take them in if the mom doesn't make it? You think I can do it?" I voice the thoughts swimming in my head.

"Of course I think you can, Pretty Boy. I know you can" he starts kissing me, my face and down my neck. "But i have to mark you, baby" his voice is deep, and low. It sends warmth all throughout my belly, and blood down south.

"So mark me" my voice is slightly breathless, and he nips at my neck.

"Can I touch you while I do it?" he asks, surprising me. "Like, can I jerk you off?"

My face bleeds red, and before i can think to much into it i'm nodding. "Yeah" I murmur, and I'm being set on a table or a desk.

Ethan pulls away, his eyes flickering between mine. "Right now?"

"Please?" I pout. He laughs and kisses me gently.

"If you insist" he murmurs, wasting no time to unbutton my pants. He pulls me off the table, and pushes them down along with my boxers. I'm already hard, and it would be embarrassing if I care enough. Ethan is hoisting me back onto the table, pushing his way between my spread legs.

His hand wraps around my cock, while his lips trail my jaw and down my neck. I shiver, and suck my bottom lip between my teeth. He pumps me, once. He hesitates for a moment, before stroking me again, a bit tighter this time.

A whine tumbles from my chest, and my head tilts back giving Ethan better access. He nips at my neck, sucking hickies onto the exposed skin. I moan, my hips shifting, trying to fuck his hand.

With his free hand, my mate pins my hips down. Ethan kisses behind my ear, before whispering. "I don't want anyone giving you this, besides me. And that even means you, Pretty Boy. So sit there, and let me make you cum"

His voice is dark, and it sends shivers throughout my body. "I'm not gonna last, E" I mumble, and he smiles against my skin.

"Call me that again"

"Oh shut up" I huff, and he starts pumping me faster. Before I can process it, his canines are piercing my skin. My body tenses, and I yelp out from the pain. But he keeps stroking me, and goes deeper into my neck.

Pleasure zips through my body, and I'm moaning embarrassingly loud as cum spurts from my cock.

I'm gasping for air by the end of it, my body slumps and I'm spent. I'm vaguely aware of Ethan licking my neck, and cleaning me up. I stay there, in my happy daze all throughout.

My mate just marked me.

I might have kids.

Holy fuck.

......

Oooof. Bran broke my heart with that. I want to know what he was thinking and if he's gonna apologize. 

Kids??? Do we think Connor can handle that ontop of everything? 

Ethan being Alpha is my fav. He's totally gonna be dominant too. I can see it. 

Thoughts?
