The Alpha Pair

Chapter 14

When Nic and I made it down to the kitchen, Silas was in between Vince and Cade, his face a dark shade of red as they gave him their undivided attention. Cade was staring intently at his lips, while Vince was admiring his blushing cheeks.
"He's definitely their mate. Cade would have ripped his throat out for getting that close to Vincent otherwise." Nic grumbled rubbing his hand down my back under my shorts. I repressed a moan as his words from literally five minutes ago floated through my head, the images teasing my subconscious, and I stepped away from him. I made my way to the counter next to the fridge and grabbed a doughnut. Nic groaned and pushed his hand through his hair, giving me a heated look. "I can't help it, you keep me hard." He growled before opening the fridge and grabbing a bottle of Aquafina.
I smirked and kissed his cheek. "Aweh, Daddy, did I make you thirsty?" I teased grabbing his bottle and taking a gulp. When I was done I looked him up and down with my best bedroom eyes and smiled as innocently as I could. "Do you need to fix that?" I smirked glancing down at his bulge.
Cade snickered behind me and Vince leaned into Silas' ear. "Soon you're going to be calling us that. Our beautiful Little Boy." He whispered biting the poor man's earlobe. Cade's attention was now firmly on his two mates.
Nic growled and took his water back before pulling me to him, causing me to crash against his chest. "Get out." The three men couldn't have possibly left the kitchen faster. "And don't let anyone in here. Lock and guard the door if you have to." Nic grumbled before pouring the water down the front of my shirt, causing the white material to cling to my skin. The cold made me gasp and my nipples pebbled under the wet fabric. His eyes following the waters' path.
I weaved my fingers through Nic's hair and pulled a little. "Why did you do that? I told you I wanted to get to know Silas." I pouted before pushing his shirt up his torso.
"I wanted you wet, Little One." Nic pulled his shirt off and picked me up before leaning down and licking a trailing drop of water from my chest. I wrapped my legs around his waist and moaned as the warmth of his tongue clashed with the residing chill of the water. Nic set me on the counter and licked another rolling droplet from my chest. "Besides, you were right, you did make me thirsty." Nic sighed and rolled his hips, his erection pressing deliciously against my cloth-clad pussy. "So fucking thirsty." He groaned and pulled away to stare at my hard nipples through my shirt. "Also, slightly as revenge for the cold shower and edging."
I pushed Nic back so that I could jump down and kneel at his feet before pulling my wet shirt off my body, making sure both my breasts bounced free at the same time, teasing Nic. "Well, I was already wet, baby." I leaned forward and grabbed his shirt before pulling it on. "And I said no funny business." I glared and Nic picked up his half empty water bottle again, making to pour it on me again. "I'm not afraid to walk out of here butt ass naked, Nicaise. Test me." I growled standing up and snatching his water before drinking the rest, and throwing the bottle away.
I walked away with Nic growling behind me. I met the boys in the living room and Cade raised his eyebrow looking me up and down. "That's strange. You don't look thoroughly fucked. I didn't hear any screaming, or any sexual noises actually, is Alpha Daddy Nicaise losing his touch?" Vince frowned and smacked Cade's arm and rolled his eyes.
"Don't be so crass, Cade. Obviously he gagged her so we wouldn't hear. Maybe she just sucked his cock." Silas sank into the couch as his cheeks flushed and his pretty innocent eyes widened.
Nic walked into the room with an angry scowl on his face and glared at the Betas. "Actually, she left me hanging because she wants to get to know your mate. So we're going to leave them to do so before my beautiful Luna decides to let him cockblock me tonight too." The boys both got up and leaned down to press gentle but possessive kisses on each of Silas' cheeks before following Nicaise outside.
After they were gone I rolled my eyes before turning back around to get to know my new future best friend. Silas stared up at me with wide eyes as he fiddled with his fingers in his lap. "H-hello Lu-Luna." He mumbled biting his lower lip and looking away.
I sat down and kicked my feet up on the table. "You don't have to call me Luna, sweetheart. My name is Asena, but I prefer Sen or Sena." I looked at him and he smiled relaxing into the couch.
"You really cock blocked the Alpha just so you could get to know me?" Silas followed my lead and kicked his feet up on the table. "Why?" He looked at me and gave me a small smile. "You don't have to get to know me."
I smiled at him and nudged his shoulder. "Of course I do. We're going to be best friends." I smiled again before sitting back up and tucking my feet under my ass and facing Silas. "So tell me about yourself." I watched as his face seemed to fall and he lowered his gaze. "If you're not ready, I can go first?" I offered and he gave me a grateful smile.
"No, I just, well......I don't know how to say it." His brows furrowed and he scrunched his lips to one side in concentration. "I mean I don't know how to word it. I don't want you to pity me, but I also don't want to lie to you." Silas cocked his head to the side and I gave him my own small smile.
"I can promise you, I won't pity you. I can also promise you, there's a high chance that if anyone hurt you, I'll be very angry." I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "You can start wherever you need to, and go at your own pace, just don't feel like you have to tell me anything you're not comfortable with." Silas grinned at me and his blue eyes lit up. For someone so large I felt oddly protective of him. Maybe it was the Luna in Lucie.
"Well, I'm a warrior, but both my parents were Omegas. I am originally from the kingdom. My biological parents died in an ambush when I was a baby, so one of the warriors on duty that night took me in. He trained me and taught me everything I know, but we lived at the border of the kingdom, it was easier for him to patrol that way. He was actually one of the warriors that helped track you down, the first to get your scent. He was killed by rogues a few years ago. His mate, Ellie, died in childbirth, when I was 10. Their daughter, Elenor, didn't make it past her first shift, and Jackson always said I was what gave him purpose after losing them. He said I was his family." Silas took a deep breath and gave me a sad smile. "After you left with Alpha Nicaise, I asked your father if I could transfer to another pack, I felt like whatever was tying me to the kingdom was gone. I had been putting asking off for a while, if we're being honest here, because it just felt wrong. Leaving, that is. Your father asked me where I wanted to go, and because my mother's family is originally from here, I figured worth a shot. See if any family is left, get to know them. All that jazz. I only got here yesterday, well, to the territory. I was just visiting the pack house in search of my cousin. He and my aunt are all that's left. My mother's sister." Silas smiled at me and I smiled back. "But then I found the reason it always felt so wrong to be leaving. Vince, and Cade is a gorgeous, deliciously sexy piece of cake on top of that ice cream." I laughed and shook my head before getting up and making my way into the kitchen to get snacks.
I grabbed two jars of cheese dip, three bags of chips, a bottle of ranch, and a package of baby carrots, and one of celery. Si grabbed two plates, two bowls, the peanut butter, a butter knife, and mild salsa before we moved our haul back to the living room. "I'm not sure if I would describe Cade as cake, but then again he isn't my mate." I set up the chips and their various dips while Si plated the veggies and our respective chosen condiments. "I guess you know what happened to me, then?" I asked avoiding his gaze. I busied myself with dipping a carrot into my ranch.
"Yes, I think you're incredibly strong to come out of that situation and still be able to support and comfort others. Not very many people can say that about themselves." He said in a laidback, but still serious tone. Si grabbed a celery stick and smeared a bit of peanut butter down the length before taking a bite.
I looked at him for a few minutes before sending a gracious smile his way and changing the topic to something lighter while we continued to chat.
Silas and I had been chatting for four hours and the boys hadn't returned once. Our snacks were long gone and we were just swapping life stories and general life hacks in between our 20 questions game. Which really wasn't even a thing anymore. We just talked. Eventually our conversation came to that of sex.
"I mean I already know I'm the bottom. They're both Beta born, but I don't think I'd have it any other way. I mean maybe one day I'd like to switch it up eventually, but can you imagine having two cocks all to yourself to please you?" Silas got a dreamy look in his eyes and I blushed at the mental image.
Clearing my throat I played with the threads of my shorts. "I can't say that I can, but I'm only mated to one man, and just his size scared the hell out of me at first. I mean I was for sure he was going to rip me in half. Like paper or some  fucking shit." I looked at Silas and gave him a sly smirk while wiggling my brows. "Now we fuck like rabbits, and all I can ever think about is sex. He's turned me into his own personal sex whore, and I love it." I groaned and stretched my arms over my head. "I'm still hungry, you?"
Silas' stomach growled as he shook his head and followed me to the kitchen. "I don't want to impose, if you and the Alpha had plans, I don't want to interrupt." I pulled the door of the fridge open and glanced back at him as he fidgeted by the table.
"What do you want?" I moved a few things around and grabbed a bottle of water before letting the fridge close. "We didn't have any set plans, so you aren't interrupting. I was planning on eating with the Betas anyhow, and now you're a beta, so you're invited." I shrugged and took a long gulp of the water. "Shit those chips dried me out."
Silas groaned and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes before shrugging. "Food. As long as you're a decent cook?" He raised a brow and I rolled my eyes. "Who am I kidding, you're definitely a decent cook. What's your speciality?"
Just then the boys all burst through the doors and Vince jumped up on the island, grabbing Si's hand and yanking him in between his thighs. "Sennie here makes an amazing homemade chicken noodle soup. Also spaghetti. Or lasagna. Or meatloaf. Or ravioli. Or any type of pasta, really. She likes pasta, and if she was human, she'd be a cow from how much pasta she eats." He grumbled hugging Silas closer to him. "Kinda want meatloaf, with your buttered rice, jalapeño poppers, and buttered baby carrots." Vince licked Si's neck and pulled him closer. "Gotta try her butter carrots. They're so fucking good. Oh, and crescent rolls!"
Cade groaned and caged Silas between his own body and Vince's parted thighs, tilting his head to inhale his scent on the other side of his neck. "Anything wrapped in fucking bacon. Fuck actually that sounds great." Nic walked over to me and kissed my forehead.
I leaned up and kissed him on the lips before turning around and bending over to grab the rice from the bottom of the pantry. "Does that sound good to everyone?" I asked and when I got the affirmative from them all I smirked and set the rice down. "Good, because you're all helping me cook it." The boys all groaned as I set the heat on the oven, but moved to wash their hands as I got all the ingredients for the meatloaf out.
"Okay, what do I do?" Vince asked as I pulled the hamburger meat from the fridge.
I glanced at him before pointing to the counter that held a chopping board with a medium red onion, a green bell pepper, and a red bell pepper. "They need to be diced." I directed each of the men to their respective stations and then got out the seasonings needed for the loaf. "Do you guys want personal meatloaf muffins or just a bread loaf?" I asked holding up two muffin pans in one hand, and two bread loaf pans in the other.
"Muffin, baby." Nic mumbled going back to toasting the bread and ripping it up into small cubes while Cade mixed the wet ingredients into the meat.
"Ooh, personals!!!" Vince screeched, focusing on chopping the veggies and throwing them into Cade's bowl.
"Cupcake." Cade said and yawned pouring in the milk and pre-scrambled eggs.
"Personal sounds great, Sen." Silas asked as he moved the chopped veggies from Vince's cutting board to the mixing bowl of ingredients.
"Oh good, I've never tried it like this, but I'm curious, so why not?" I mumbled putting the loaf pans away. "Si could you butter these up?" I handed him the cupcake pans and the melted butter.
"Course!" He said as he grabbed a coffee filter and started to butter the individual slots.
As they prepared the meatloaf I got the jalapeño peppers and the cream cheese out to start preparing those. Cutting the peppers before spreading cream cheese inside. I decided to wait to wrap the bacon around them until it's closer to the right time to pop them in the oven.
"Okay, meatloaf is mixed, how full do we need these to be?" Cade asked and gave his hands a disgusted look. "Gross."
I laughed and placed the poppers on a baking tray. "About half way each. They won't cook evenly otherwise." I said grabbing two medium pots and filling them with water, setting them both on the stove to wait for the right time to put them to boil.
After the boys finished the meatloaf and put it in the oven I grabbed four beers from the fridge, and a bottle of red wine from the pantry. Passing the beers out before pouring my own glass of wine, they sat down to wait out the time until it was reasonable to start the rest of the meal, while I cleaned up the dishes we had used.
After the half way mark passed we took out the meatloafs. Nic spread barbecue sauce on the personal loafs while Vince and Cade wrapped the poppers in bacon, and Si and I sat at the island gushing over pictures of Nic and I's puppy. "He's like a little baby! You'd be glowing during pregnancy, Sen!" Silas said as he watched a video Nic had taken of me wrapping Aiko in a blanket and rocking him to sleep like a baby.
Nic groaned and put the meatloaf back in the oven, the poppers and rolls following suit. "Fuck. Now I'm imagining you carrying our pups." He growled sending a half-hearted glare at a sheepish Silas.
"Well with the way you two fuck, it's bound to happen sooner or later, but right now we're about to eat." Vince said as he put the water on the stove to boil.
The rest of the time spent cooking was done in a mixture of sexual tension between Nic and I, and awkward tension filling the rest of the room. After pouring the rice and the carrots into their respective boiling waters, I took the rolls out of the oven so they wouldn't burn. Ten minutes later and the rest of the food was done. Nic helped me plate the food while the boys cleaned up the mess this time.
"This looks great, Luna. Thank you." Cade said as he sat down with a towel drying his hands in front of his plate. I gave him a shocked look and he rolled his eyes. "I do know how to be nice, Luna. I just find it funny to bust your chops." Vince rolled his eyes and grabbed his own fork.
"That's kinda mean." Silas mumbled taking a pull of his beer and sitting down. "Sen's so nice. Why do you like being mean to her?" He asked taking a bite.
"It's funny when she gets riled up. Until Lucie appears. Then she's kinda mean herself." Cade chuckled and Nic rolled his eyes.
"I think it's sexy as fuck when she's angry. Makes for great angry sex." He said taking his own bite. I growled and hit his thigh under the table. "Kinky, baby." Nic laughed and leaned over to kiss my cheek.
I rolled my eyes as the boys all laughed and started a new conversation. I watched them all laugh and talk as they shared stories and jokes, their laughter infectious as I joined in.

Unknown P.O.V
I watched as Asena and her group of males laughed around the table. That stupid bitch got my brother killed. A low growl rumbled in my chest, and I curled my lips in a snarl. She'd pay for that. A rustling in the woods across from me caught my attention, and I slowly retreated towards the border. I was cutting my departure short, and I needed that stupid old beta's intel so I could complete my mission. Stupid bastard thought that I was just going to kill Asena, and that his daughter would be able to swoop in and take Alpha Nicaise as a mate. I planned on killing all of them. The three betas, the Alpha, and his slut of a mate.
I entered the territory joining with Alpha Nicaise's and made my way to the cave I used for shelter. It wasn't the mansion I had grown up in before Mason and I had been rejected by our pack as gammas, but it wasn't terrible either. I just had to stay until I could kill the Alpha and his bitch, then I'd be staying in their house.
