Alicia's Dilemma

A loud scream followed by several growls woke us up from our slumber.

Both my mates got in their feet and was about to leave the room when I handed them shirts.

“Wear them,” I simply said and walked out. They were trailing behind me, squeezing their muscular bodies into the tight shirt I gave them.

A grin was plastered in their faces after seeing me wear both their hoodies. We were arguing as to how they could imprint their smell on me at the same time. So I ripped their oversized hoodies in half and sewn them together.

Genius, I know.

“Let’s have makeup sex every night,” Stephen teased that earned him an elbow in the gut from me.

The horny bastards took advantage of my meltdown and made love to me several times. I couldn’t even count.

‘It’s not our fault that you kept begging for another round,’ Aaron exclaimed from the link.

Another elbowing of the gut was made by yours truly.

We walked out of the elevator with them having victorious smirks, knowing they’ve succeeded in teasing me.

“What happened?” Aaron asked when we got to the kitchen.

A smaller boy came up to me and hugged me. My mates growled but I stopped them holding their chests but instantly retreated my hand after feeling a certain spark.

‘So sensitive,’ Stephen remarked.

I was about to elbow him again when the boy squeaked, “Luna. Wolves. Scary.”

I looked at who he was referring to and saw three squad captains who were fuming in rage.

“What happened, Lawrence?” Aaron asked, taking a piece of pancake from Brandon’s tray.

“A-Alpha… that kid…” Lawrence trailed off, grimacing at the thought.

“We’re asking you, what happened?” Stephen repeated, also taking a pancake from the now frowning Brandon.

“H-He’s…”

“He’s my mate,” the other squad captain said. “He’s underaged but he’s already undergoing heat and it’s going to kill me if I don’t mate with him.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because this guy,” Noir smacked the squad captain, who’s name was Erebus, “Is a horny *sshole.”

I couldn’t help but snort at what he said. “I know what you mean,” I sighed and looked at my mates.

They narrowed their eyes at me but I ignored them. Looking at the kid, he was only about 16. Mates usually develop at 18 but he matured early. And he’s not from here. He was one of the werecats Roslyn saved.

“Wait, weren’t there four pairs of werecats?” I looked at my mates and they only gawked before their eyes widened.

I was pulled back by Stephen and growled at the now mewling kid.

“He doesn’t mean any harm,” Roslyn said. “I forgot to mention that along with the four couples, I also brought him along. His name is Nox and he’s… the son of King Gotto of the Werelions.”

“So, he has…” I trailed off and she nodded.

“He has the power of the King.”

–

“Tie him up!” Noir yelled. “My brother shouldn’t ever taint that child!”

Erebus was roaring through the packhouse. Bryce was away because he was called to his coven, leaving us with no spellcasters.

“Alicia’s coming,” Stephen informed.

I quirked my brow at him, “Wait, why does she know sorcery?”

“She has a Gift,” Aaron said. “Each Alpha line has a gift. Their line has a gift of Primordial Sorcery.”

“What?” my jaws fell after hearing him. “How come I never heard of it until now?”

“Because in rare cases, the Gift does not show in a generation,” Stephen sighed. “And that rare case is present in both me and Aaron.”

“I know your gift,” I deadpanned. “Your aggressive hormones.”

And I couldn’t ask for more.

Their heads snap to my direction with lust-filled eyes.

“I did not mean that,” I raised my hand to defend myself but they were already walking towards me like predators walking towards their prey. “No! Mates, sit!”

“Too late,” Aaron was about to lunge for me when a woman appeared out of nowhere, kneeing Aaron in the stomach while kicking Stephen in the side.

“Hormonal *ssholes!” Alicia growled. “Your mate is pregnant and all you think about is mating! Damn right I was when I said your Gift was being such aggressive horny bastards!”

“Sorry Alicia,” they both chorused.

I snorted after seeing the puppy-eyed look my mates gave to Alicia. Even I could tell that she’s far superior than my mates. Besides the fact that she’s older, she has more experience.

‘The title Alpha Queen was is very fitting,’ Klint commented to which I agreed.

“Thank you for coming Alicia,” I said and hugged her. “One of ours needs help.”

Alicia made my mates sit on the kitchen counter where they peacefully ate their breakfast. They were bickering, blaming each other why they got kneed by their mother-figure.

“I don’t get why men are so horny,” Alicia sighed. Erebus was tied to a chair with several rolls of rope. Among all wolves in our pack, he had one of the most destructive strength. In strength alone, he is already alpha-class.

“I get you,” I sighed and disappointingly shook my head when she raised her left eyebrow.

“Oh, honey that goes for you too.”

I scoffed, “Why?”

She sighed and pointed at the two pouting alphas, “I know that those two are very raunchy guys but they know when to stop or when to not engage in sex. But you smell like fourteen rounds of mating and I could tell that you wanted the last thirteen as bad as they do.”

Margaret was laughing as she entered the kitchen. Somehow, I was sitting in between my mates, pouting like they are.

“The Alpha Queen,” Margaret chuckled. “What will we do without her?”

“She’s mean,” I sniffed and took a bite off the pancake Stephen offered.

“She’s blunt is what you mean,” Margaret said and looked at Alicia. She had pure adoration in her eyes. “The only female alpha who got to see three generations of ours. She’s legendary.”

Alicia pointed her palm at Erebus. A pale purple light lit up from her palm and she casted a restraining spell on him.

“This spell should last for two years, a perfect time for Little Lion to mature,” Alicia said. Somehow, she got paler.

There was a pause. She stood there, staring at me for a moment and the next, she was coughing blood.

“Alicia!” we all yelled when her body trembled and we could hear her bones breaking. It was as if she was having a seizure in the middle of a shifting.

“Alicia,” I called out. She looked at me and the last thing I remembered was being caught by Aaron’s arms before I passed out.

‘Klyde.’

…

‘Help her, my child.’
