Hidden Alpha [Alpha Mates] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) (28 page)

Devlin spoke up. “Yes, we noticed. The first time Amalya shifted, the house was just about struck by lightning. But that is because of her being a half-breed. What does it have to do with your bloodline?”

“You are partially right. It is our bloodline that has the ability to speak into other’s minds and to control the weather. I have not met anyone besides our family, half-breed or otherwise, that can control the weather. I think she has always had the power. She just didn’t know it and wasn’t able to use it properly until she was claimed and shifted for the first time. Only certain members of the family hold that ability while the rest of us are just kinda impervious to the weather. My mother and Amalya’s could both control the weather. Lightning, rain, snow, wind, anything you associate weather with. Me, on the other hand, I can’t, but I can be struck by lightning and not be affected. When John was confronting her, I saw the sky darken and knew she was one of the blessed few that had the power. When he shot her, I reacted and cut his throat, but at the same time she brought down a bolt of lightning. So, even if I had not been here, he would still be dead. She killed him, not me. The only thing I did was not react fast enough when I realized what he was going to do. If I had, I could have prevented her from being shot. So you see, I did not really save her. She saved herself.”

Everyone listened while Skye told his story. Gavin wasn’t sure if he should be relieved that Amalya had struck someone down with lightning or not, but he sure was proud of her. He always knew she was strong, and it was just proved to him again how strong she really was.

Taking his attention off Skye and back to Amalya, he noticed she was quite pale and was starting to shake. “Baby doll, what’s wrong?”

“Did I really kill someone?” Tears were in her eyes.

“Sweetie, listen to me. It was you or him. You did what you had to do to protect yourself and our children. Besides, even if you hadn’t done anything, the wound Skye inflicted would have been enough to end the other male’s life.” He gave Skye a silent look, hoping the other male would understand. Truthfully, depending on how badly Skye damaged the other male’s neck, the wound may not have been fatal, but if it helped Amalya deal, he hoped Skye would play along.

Skye nodded his head. “I’m sorry, cousin. I did not mean to make you feel bad. He would have died from my attack anyway, and it could have been either of us that ended him. I just wanted you and your mates to know how strong you are and how very proud I am of you for being able to protect yourself.”

She nodded as she wiped her eyes. “I need to go to our room for a little while and relax. Would one of you please join me?” She looked at each of her mates.

“How about we
all
join you?” Chase said with a wide smile. Gavin could tell by the glint in his eyes that Chase had no intentions of anyone relaxing. He had a little more strenuous activity in mind.

Amalya must have understood his hint, and she blushed before heading to the bedroom with Chase and Devlin hot on her heels. Gavin took a minute to thank Skye again and tell him they would be back in a little while. He pointed the enforcers out to him and told him if he needed anything to ask them. He also showed him to one of the guest rooms where he could take a shower and relax if he wanted.

By the time Gavin made it to the bedroom, he was surprised at how fast things had progressed with his mates. Chase was lying on his back on the bed with Amalya riding him. Devlin was balls deep in Amalya’s ass. They were taking their time, cherishing every movement. He stripped out of his clothes and cleared his throat. “Is there room in there somewhere for me, too?”

His heart stopped when Devlin looked up at him and withdrew from Amalya’s body. When he motioned for him to take his place, Gavin didn’t hesitate. He knew what was coming and knew he was ready. A week ago, after the sex in the shower, he had also claimed Devlin when they were back in bed before they all collapsed with exhaustion. They had been so busy over the last week that he had not been claimed by either man. Just that morning, Amalya had claimed him, so he wore her mark but not the male’s.

Gavin lined his cock up with Amalya’s ass, and after he was all the way in, he held still, waiting to see what Devlin would do. He was not disappointed when he felt slick fingers run down the crease of his ass and start making circles around his virgin rim. He flinched and tensed when Devlin slipped a finger in to the first knuckle, until Devlin whispered in his ear, “Relax, my mate. I won’t hurt you.”

Gavin relaxed his muscles and allowed Devlin’s fingers entrance. First one, then another, and before he knew it, Devlin had three fingers buried in him as he thrust his hips back, riding the fingers then thrusting into Amalya’s tight heat. The sensations were overwhelming. He knew he wasn’t going to be able to last much longer, but didn’t want to come until Devlin was inside him.

“I’m ready, my mate. Please take me.”

He didn’t have to say it twice. In a flash, Devlin had removed his fingers. Gavin didn’t have a chance to mourn their loss because he felt the flared head of Devlin cock penetrate him. Gavin held completely still while his body got used to the invasion. When he thought he would be able to take more of his mate’s cock, he eased himself backward a little. Devlin took the hint and oh-so-slowly sunk into Gavin’s ass. When Devlin’s pelvis was touching his ass, Gavin knew he was all the way in. Devlin held still as he licked Gavin’s neck and whispered words of love to him. When Devlin said, “Please,” Gavin knew what his mate wanted. He wanted to move, and Gavin wanted him to, also. He had never felt so ready to explode in his whole life. Between his cock buried deep in Amalya’s ass and Devlin’s cock in his, Gavin couldn’t decide which way he wanted to move. He didn’t have to decide as Devlin started thrusting into him. With each snap of his hips, Devlin drove his cock deeper and deeper inside his ass. Gavin was also being propelled deeper into Amalya’s. When he felt his release ascending down on him, he tilted his head forward silently, begging Devlin to truly claim him. Devlin didn’t hesitate and sunk his canines into the back of his neck. Gavin screamed out his orgasm with one last thrust, pumping his seed deep inside Amalya. He felt Devlin release his neck and lick his mark closed before he howled to the ceiling. Gavin could feel Devlin thrust a few more times before he emptied his balls inside his ass. He felt every last pulse of Devlin’s cock inside him and knew he would be hooked on that feeling for the rest of his life. What he had been so worried about had been the best experience of his life.

He watched as Amalya bit into Chase’s neck as he screamed her name and thrust up into her. With his cock still inside her, too, Gavin felt the other male’s cock swell and then throb. The sensation was enough to push Gavin into another orgasm he didn’t know was coming. Amalya cried out his name at the same time as he watched lightning strike just outside the window.

They all collapsed into a pile. Devlin was the first to compose himself, and he went to get several washcloths and towels to clean them all up. Just before he drifted off, he asked Amalya, “Baby doll, you want to explain the light show while you were coming?”

She shrugged her shoulder. “I didn’t mean it. Maybe I should talk to Skye. He might know how to help me control my powers better. I’m sorry.”

Gavin pulled her close enough to be his personal blanket and whispered, “It’s okay, baby. No one was hurt. But I think you’re right. Maybe Skye can help. We’ll talk to him in the morning, okay? You’ve had a long day. Why don’t we get some rest and deal with all of this tomorrow?”

Amalya kissed Gavin’s chest and snuggled closer. He was right. She was exhausted. She was just drifting off when she heard a knock at the bedroom door. Since she was on top, she got up and went to see who was there. When she opened the door, Skye was standing there holding Katrya, and Dmytri and Adryk were standing on each side of him with their arms crossed over their little chests. Amalya tilted her head at them and asked, “Is there a problem, boys?”

Dmytri answered, “Yes, this stranger man is holding our sister hostage.”

Amalya gasped and looked to see Skye pale as he shook his head. “I’m not holding her hostage. I was walking down the hall when I heard her wake up. I went in and noticed she was wet, so I changed her and was going to feed her. The boys wanted to help, but I told them they had to get ready for bed first. Where they got that idea from, I have no idea.”

Amalya looked down at the boys. Neither of them would meet her gaze. “Tell me the real story, boys. Is what Skye said true?” She knew Skye was telling the truth but wanted to see where the boys would go with their story.

Adryk stuck his bottom lip out and pouted before saying, “It’s just like hostage. He said we had to do something before we could have our sister. Same thing.”

“It is not the same thing, Adryk. You both could get Skye in trouble by telling stories like that. You know that anyone in the pack would do anything to protect you and your sisters. If you said that in front of someone who didn’t know you get silly ideas by sneaking into the living room while Uncle Chase and Uncle Devlin watch movies, they would think that Skye was really trying to hurt Katrya. Do you know what the enforcers would do if they thought someone was trying to hurt her?”

Both boys nodded then hung their heads shamefully. “We know, mama. We’re sorry.” Adryk was the spokesperson this time.

She patted them both on the heads. “You need to apologize to Skye, not to me. And then you need to go get ready for bed. It’s been a long and exciting day, and we all need to get some rest.”

The boys looked up and said in unison, “I’m sorry, Skye.”

They hurried off toward their bedroom, and Amalya turned to Skye. “Please forgive them. They have some interesting stories to tell.” She held her hands out toward the baby. “I can take her if you want.”

Skye shook his head as he traced one finger down the little baby’s cheek. “Nah, I got her. I think her sister was just getting ready to wake up. I can help you take care of them and get them settled back down, if you want.”

Amalya kissed her cousin on the cheek. “I would very much appreciate some help. It seems my mates are too tired to move right now.”

“If the light show I saw a little while ago was anything to go by, I don’t wonder why. Feisty are we, cousin?”

Amalya felt her cheeks heat as she walked toward the nursery. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I didn’t see any light show.”

Skye’s snort told her that he would never believe that lie. It seemed she needed to learn to control her powers soon before the entire pack found out and knew every time she had sex with her mates. It didn’t matter to her. She had her mates, her children, and now, her cousin. Life could throw whatever it wanted at her, and she would be fine. With her family by her side, she could do anything she wanted.
