9: Tension on Main Street

Aries placed the last bag of supplies at the back of the trunk and gave a quick check to see if he missed something. With a nod he shuts the trunk after checking all things accountable and secure. He quickly jogs to the driver's seat and saw two round eyes looking at him expectantly while sucking on his little binky shaped like an adorable wolf.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, pup. Papa had to finish packing things we need for later." The blonde hair guy smiles and slides his seat back slightly to caress the soft, chubby cheek of the babe. The little angel squeeled through his binky and opens and closes his tiny, chubby hands. "Do you want to listen to your tunes? I'm sure you do. Don't you..." Aries coos as he inserted the CD over the player and pressed play. And soon baby music filled the car that made the young pup clap his little hands in joy. Aries smiles when he caught the happy dance his son was making which consists of wiggle his tiny bum in his baby chair and waving his tiny arms in the air to the beat of the music. "Sit tight, Art! The choo-choo train's going to leave the station." He smiles as he mimics the action of a train conductor and starts the car. He gave one quick glance at the excited child before turning his eyes to the road and soon they were off to the main highway. They were halfway through their destination when Aries received a call.

"Hello, this is S-F. Aries speaking." Aries answered as he pressed the earpiece receiver. He gave a quick glance over the front mirror to check on the now sleeping toddler.

"Good morning, Aye." A familiar voice yawned at the other end and Aries can't help but smile at how the man's voice sounded rough and throaty. "Found out that you're not in bed with me..." He paused as another yawn escaped from the other line. "... yet again." Aries can't help but chuckle.

"Well, for one, I'm not halfway across the state sleeping in ..." He glance over the dashboard clock and return to speak. "... late. How's the meeting? Didn't kill anyone I hope." There was an internal struggle not to laugh at his own joke. He could hear a stifled growl at the end but Aries just chuckled at the sound.

"A 'good morning, too babe' would have been a nicer greeting." Blake groans before he hissed. "Fucking hangover! I'm going to kill Lucian when I see him." The man clasped his head and started to walk towards the sink.

"Good morning, Bee." Aries grins cheekily. Blake scoffs from the other end.

"Too late for that now." He rolls his eyes as he looks over the cupboard for medication for his hangover. "Are you driving? I can hear the engines running..." He flips the cap open once he found it and dunk a few capsules in his mouth.

"No, I'm watching tv." He lies and hoped Blake wouldn't notice. "It's that new segment in Discovery about driving off the road or something..." He added. It took a few seconds before Blake's response.

"Alright." He affirms. "Just let me talk to Arthur..." He states as Aries stops the car at an intersection as the light turned red.

"Arthur's asleep right now, Bee." Arthur looks back and found the babe still sleeping with his lips parted slightly. "I'll call you again once he wakes up if you want."

"Fine." Blake groans in disappointment.

"So how's the meeting?" Aries asked again. The car continued down the road once the light turned green.

"Not bad I guess. Just a ton of chit chat about pack treaties and the occasional rouge attacks or hunters. You know the usual talk." Blake explains as Aries just nods with him. "Did you know that there are so many packs proclaiming to be strongest at the meeting?" Blake groans as he jumped back at his bed. "What's the deal about that?!"

"It's an Alpha thing, Blake." Aries explains.

"Well, I don't see you parading around claiming our pack's the strongest..." Blake state. "And besides, what do you gain from that?! Recognition?!"

"Blake, what did you do this time?" Aries questions.

"What?!" Blake growls as he glares at the phone.

"Blake." Aries coaxed. "Who was it this time?"

"Fucking fine." Blake slumps back in his pillow with a groan. "Fröyl..." Blake drags a deep breath before continuing. "....Hamid, Sergei and that Alpha from Europe." Aries sighs as he can't help but feel like Blake was acting childish again.

"You had to pick a fight with all of them? And didn't you just settled things with Kris last time after your arguments about him calling you names." Aries state. "Now your back with a grievance with him along with a couple more Alphas."

"Well, they did started it." Blake growls. "It doesn't mean I'm a bit younger than them they could call and treat me like a pup!" Blake sat up and bent his left leg to place his elbow over his knee. "What do they know on what I can and cannot do!? I should have put them in their place at the very start. Fuck Lucian for stopping me..."

"Well, it's still your fault that you responded on their foolish and rather childish acts." Aries mused. "They'll always treat us as inferior to them everytime they see us since we're young. And it's not proper for us to act rashly out of spite. After all, they're our seniors. More experienced wolves than us." Aries explains.

"I don't fucking give a damn! The only good thing that happened might be that I landed a few good hits before Lucian started stopping me on what I'm doing." Blake grins. "You should have seen the look on their faces how I bruised their fucking huge egos."

"You have a huge ego." Aries points out as he turns to a curve and saw a large structure in the distance that looks similar to a castle.

"Fuck you, Aye!" Blake grins back. "Fuck I missed you already! I can't wait for this last formality to go by and go home." Blake hums as he imagines him holding Aries in his arms lying in their bed all exposed... "You within my reach and pounding your tight ass..." He husked as he started to ran his hand up and down his hardening length.

"Really." Aries chuckles as he tried to will himself to calm down as he could feel Blake's sexual tension over the phone. He need to divert their talk or this will end up him jerkinf himself to calm his raging boner and doesn't want that with his kid on board. "So, Lucian's taking over already?"

"Not really." Blake replied and Aries breath a sigh of relief that his mate already drop the dirty talk. "His father was still heading the meeting as of date. He was only there to shadow his old man." He explained. "He did something productive I guess with the territory dispute overseas and it seems his old man looks kind of proud. You know I can't gauge if that man actually shows emotions."

"You should still address him as King, Blake. For all we know this call is being recorded." Aries chuckles as he heard his boy shifting in his seat. He slows the car to check him out through the dashboard's mirror. "He's still the head of all werewolves after all. And being friends with Lucian isn't enough reason to be rude."

"What's the point of being his friend if I have to be a prune like those leeches." Blake groans. "But fine. I'll be more mindful next time. You being right most of the time." He rolls his eyes, sarcasm evident in his tone. Aries can't help but grin to himself.

"Haha... Funny." Aries faked laughed as he steers the vehicle towards a parking lot. "Well, you'll be sorry if you can't speak to Arthur right now." He chuckles as he puts the car to a stop at one of the vacant spots. He unbuckles himself and turn to the yawning babe. "Good morning, pup. Had a nice nap?" Aries coos as he pulls a bag from the back seat unto his lap and pulled a warm bottle of milk.

"Fuck you, Aye! Let me talk to my kid!" Blake growls as Aries handed the baby his bottle before taking off his tiny pacifier. The young pup sleepily brought the tip to his lips and started to suck. "It's your fault why I'm not home and spending time with our pup! Next time when Lucian's dad calls for a meeting again, I'm sitting it down. It's your fucking turn this time. Let's see how you like it!" He snaps.

"Fine. Fine." Aries conceded as he pressed the speaker on the phone. "I'll take the next one. I don't want to rob you with some daddy baby time with Art here." He chuckles as he looks at the baby staring directly at him through his large red-green eyes. "By the way, you're on speaker."

"You should have told me sooner." Blake scoffs as he composed himself. "Good morning, pup! Did you missed daddy?"

"I think not, Bee." Aries chuckles back as Arthur released his hold on the bottle once he heard his father's voice through the speaker and started reaching out his tiny hands towards its direction. Aries had to catch the bottle immediately seeing the the babe didn't let go of the sucker once he released his hold on the bottle. Now he was holding the bottle while Arthur continued to drink and squirm in his seat, trying to reach out to his father. "He surely doesn't miss you." He grins.

"Shut up, Aye!" Blake growls before massaging his temple. "Hey, Art! Daddy's going to be home soon so don't worry too much." Aries shakes his head and unbuckles the baby from his seat and carefully brought him to his lap. The young pup soon forgot about the the bottle and held the phone in his hand and started trying to grip it. "I've missed you so much, pup. How I've missed your baby scent and your soft skin. Don't tell your papa this but I think I love you more." Arthur giggles and started to talk his baby gibberish as he slapped the screen of the phone.

"Hey, not fair." Aries tried to sound hurt but his tone betrayed him. He wrapped his arm around his kid's tubby tummy and pressed his nose on the soft auburn, almost copper bronze, hair of his pup. He smiled between chuckles. "Papa loves you more, Art." He placed the phone inside his pocket and placed a second earpiece over Arthur's right ear making the baby stop moving for awhile.

"Even more than me?" Blake asked as he heard a knock over the door and rolled his eyes. He stood up as he waited for Aries' reply and opened the door and found Lucian standing irritated on the door.

"It's up for debate." Aries chuckles and strapped Arthur in his baby sling over his chest and exited the car. "I think this guy is better." He lightly pinch the baby's chubby cheeks and Arthur wobbles in place. He starts slapping his pink cheeks where Aries' fingers were once there. "Blake..."

"Uhm... Sorry. Lucian's here by the way." Blake states with his none to happy tone. "So, what do you want again? As you can see I'm busy talking to my mate and kid here, if you don't know yet." Lucian snaps and slammed his fist over the door frame.

"Shut the fuck up, Blake! I'm not in the mood for any of your annoying bullshits this day." Lucian growls before he grimaced, clutching his abdomen. "Your mate and kid can wait. My father wants to talk to you." He groans.

"Fuck you, Lucian!" Blake snaps at the sick looking Prince. He pursed his lips and gave a defeated groan and raised his finger at Lucian stating giving him a minute. The man before him rolls his eyes and mouthed, make it quick. And with that fair warning, Lucian left, limping slightly in Blake's eyes. "Aye, still there."

"Still here." Aries replied as he stops by to look over the trunk for a particular backpack. "So the King called." He states while pulling the familiar black bag from the pile. He inspects it quickly and gave a quick nod to himself as to affirm that it was the one he was looking for. "Don't worry. We'll call again if the you're on your way home. Good luck."

"Alright..." Blake groans and started to go towards the bathroom with a frown. "I can't wait till this is over. See you, Aye. Daddy's going now, pup. See you soon." Blake smiles as he kissed the phone as if he was kissing the baby. "Bye."

"Bye." Aries affirms and the line went dead. The blonde man smiles at himself as he shuts the trunk and clicked the button to his car. The baby on his chest claps at the beeping sound. "Let's go, Art. I'm sure you're going to love it here." Aries said as he looked down at the soft hair of the toddler and started to walk towards the gate.

Meanwhile, Blake was walking down the hallway of the castle after speaking with the King. He received a fair scolding about his behavior last meeting and Blake fought the urge to shout back or show the slightest irritation in his features. It went for a few hours and he was glad when he was dismissed when the king received an important call.

He strode the large hallways with his suitcase in tow. He was feeling relieved that he is now going home after a week of unending discussions and meetings with the other Alphas. His grip tightens and his pace picked up as he brushed the unwanted memories away. He was going home to his pack. And he would again be able to feel his man's skin against his and the neverending pleasure whenever they are locked inside their rooms. Also, he misses his son. The pup was a never ending bundle of joy that Blake himself won't admit out loud. The kid brought something in him that he didn't expect he possessed, a father's love.

Arthur was everything he would wanted and with him coming into his and Aries' life made him content. He had his mate, a pup that he could call his own. Life couldn't be more perfect. He walked down the carpeted floor towards the exit. The bright light caused him to raise his hand over his eyes as he breath the refreshing air of the outdoors and for some reason this same place seems more relaxing when he came in.

Blake raised his eyes towards his watch and he thought he could pass by the town near their pack lands for some new toy for Arthur and some flowers for his mate perhaps. Aries may not look like it but he loves when Blake made some small gestures after a long time of absence. He walk down the black stoned patio towards his car with a grin. He was feeling that usual tightness in his pants that he had to adjust himself right away.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard someone called out to him. He clenched his teeth as he willed himself not to snap at the person who just called him.

"Hey, Fang I see you're going home already?" Fröyl sneered as he approached Blake. The taller man crosses his arms as he looked down at the younger Alpha. "Can't wait to fuck your mate, are we? You must that have that twink like mates that nice and slender in the right places, right?" He smirks as he circles Blake with a taunting look.

"What do you want, Fröyl?" Blake scowled as he glares at the much older and taller man. "Don't you have a pack to go to." He spat on every word like poison. The other alpha just smirked.

"Nothing much. Just coming to return the favor." He stood straight as Blake looked at the burnt mark over his left ear. That's sure going to be a hell of a time to get healed. Blake felt a surge of pride bubbling in his chest now but tried to remained stoic as well. "It doesn't mean you're close with the royal family that I won't forget what you're getting away with this." He points to his burnt ear.

"You have yourself to blame for that, Fröyl." Blake grinned. "But if you wanted to take another taste I'll be glad to comply." Blake clasped his fist over his left hand and started snapping them. He held eye contact with the taller Alpha as he starts to undress his leather jacket. "Lucian's not going to stop me this time..."

"Do your worst, Fang." Fröyl sneered as he clenched his fist. Blake dropped his fists to his side as well. "I'm ready to throw down whenever, where ever. Even right now."

"Don't temp me, Fröyl. You know I don't back down from anyone." Blake growls as he folds his jacket and placed it on top of his luggage bag slowly as he pats it tightly. "Don't tell me later I didn't warn you, Fröyl."

"Blake!" Someone calls making both men look at the direction of the voice. "Look your kid's here to visit you." Blake eyes shot wide and his feet was no longer in his control as they started to dash towards the guy with the baby in his hands. Fröyl look at Blake annoyed and pissed for just running off like that but Blake didn't care less. This was his kid, his pup and it wouldn't be too obvious that he would throw everything else right now just to hold him.

"How in the hell are you here?!" Blake cussed as he snatched the googling babe from the guy holding Arthur and pressed the toddler in his chest softly as he pressed his nose over the pup's soft hair, inhaling his scent. It instantly relaxes Blake and his prior feud with Fröyl was soon a faded memory. "Fuck! Why are you so damn adorable pup. I could literally eat you!" He raises the baby in front of him, just above his head, as the kid flaps his little arms up and down while laughing heartily. "Where the fuck is your papa?!" Was Blake sudden realization as he glares at the guy carrying Arthur accusingly.

"He's..." The guy replied when Fröyl grabbed Blake's shoulder and pushed him to face him.

"What do you want, Fröyl?" Blake growls as he lowers the baby to his chest and glared at tall Alpha threateningly.

"Is that your kid?" Fröyl smirked as he looked at the toddler who looks up at him in awe. "He doesn't look a bit like you, Fang. I guess he gets it with that mat of yours." He taunts as Blake's scowl never left his face and Arthur started to grip his father's shirt firmly with his chubby fingers.

"So what if he is." Blake snaps as he tried to calm himself down as not to agitate the toddler in his arm who is literally trembling in his arms right now. "Will, you leave us alone, Fröyl. I don't want to make him upset as he is now." He pats the head of the baby and started to turn when Fröyl held him in place.

"I'm not done with you yet, Fang." Fröyl growled when suddenly he quickly pulled out his hold on Blake's shoulder. "The fuck!" He held his own hand in a vice grip as he looked at his burnt hand. He glared at the younger Alpha but had to suppress the urge when Blake shot him a glare. His own eyes deep crimson and glowing like rubies.

"I will say this only once again Fröyl." Blake said in a warning tone that sent shivers down Fröyl's own spine. "Fuck off!" A sudden burst of flames caused the older alpha to stumble down and retreat in fear. Blake gave a sigh of relief and lowered his guard when he saw Fröyl running out of sight like a kicked dog. He smiled at the image.

"Blake!" A familiar voice yelled and Blake's head immediately snap towards the direction of the voice with a obvious grin. He looks at the not to happy male marching towards him with the King and his guard behind him. The intoxicating scent of his mate made his cock stir but the blatant rage was also present that his rock went immediately full steel. He should be running now as he was sure Aries would serve his head in a silver platter right now but the urge to feel him close was washing down all logical sense. It was when Arthur squirmed in his arms with a cute sneeze that caused him to snap out of his own thoughts and held the baby between him and his angry mate. "Don't you use our son as a shield, Blake!" His mate growled as the other Alpha who was holding Arthur awhile ago can't help but snicker.

"It was fucking Fröyl's fault!" Blake shot back avoiding eye contact.

"You could have burnt Arthur!" Aries growls as he took the pup off Blake's hand and started checking the toddler with a mission. "I was going to surprise you but I didn't think I would be the one having the surprise!"

"But he wasn't! Look he's just fine!" Blake points at Arthur. "I won't harm my own pup!" Aries shakes his head. The King approached the other Alpha and gave a quick nod before turning their gaze back to the two young arguing Alphas.

"I don't like to argue this time Blake!" Aries groans as Arthur started to bawl and Blake was the first to notice.

"Look what you did! You made him cry!" Blake growls as he snatched the baby into his hand. "Give him back to me."

"You know he's only crying because you tried to boil him." Aries sighs as the pup quiets down a little but was sobbing nonetheless. He looked at the man before him and his heart started to melt. Blake wasn't what you expect to be the caring type. But here he is, baby in hand and cradling it within his buff arms. His strong features and that gangster type of vibes he gives off wouldnt make anyone think twice that he had a doting personality. Aries smiled at him absentmindedly.

"What are you smiling for?" Blake glares suspiciously at him. Aries just shakes his head before closing his gap between him and Blake. "What are you doing?" Blake raised a brow.

"Nothing." He replied as he looks down at their son with so much love sparkling in his eyes while he plays with the soft patch of hair over the pup's little head. "You just look... cute together." Blake glares at his comment but didn't react more.

"Wait are you two?!" The other Alpha spoke upon a sudden realization.

"Mates?" The King looked at him as the Alpha nodded. "Well, are you?" He turns to the two males with a glint of mischief in his eyes that turn to their attention with a grin. Well, Blake was glaring.

"Are we Blake?" Aries shot his mate with a loop side grin as he snaked his hand over the sinful waist of the fine male specimen before him.

"So why if we are, Gregory. Got a problem with that?!" Blake growls as the other Alpha shakes his head with a smile.

"Not really. I'm just surprised that's all." Gregory looks at the two men, he doesn't believe that they are mates at the very first glance. Well, that explains a lot why they both smelled like one another. "Wow! Two Alpha males as mates! I can't believe I get to see the day I get to meet a pair!" He exclaimed.

"Can't believe it myself when Lucian told me." The King chuckles at himself at the thought. "So, Alpha Aries have you thought about my offer?" Blake and Gregory looked at the blonde Alpha who is busy running his hand over his mate's waist.

"I haven't yet, your excellence." Aries shook his head. "But I'll think about it. Blake haven't agreed to it yet." He shot his mate a mischievous smirk.

"I don't see why you should decline the position." The King spoke. "Your pack is clearly well managed already even after the merge. And Alpha Blake has been an outstanding Alpha despite his age. You both are an exceptional pair indeed. So beyond your years." The King described as Gregory shot at the two Alphas with admiration.

"We'll talk about it, your excellence. But could you excuse us. I think my husband and I should be heading home already." Aries spoke and the King looked at them with understanding.

"Oh, I see." The King replied. "Well, thanks for coming Alpha Aries, our talk was insightful. Alpha Blake are we to expect your presence on the next meeting?"

"Aries and I have to discuss that one, my King." Blake replied as he smacks Aries' butt making the other male jump slightly in surprise. "But as my mate have said we would like to get going. We have more urgent matters to attend to at home."

"I'll be expecting that." The King chuckles as he looked at the Alpha next to him and guided him to the other direction. "About your request..." The King and Gregory soon left the two Alphas to themselves as Aries pulls Blake in his grasp but avoiding crushing the toddler in his mate's grasp.

"Urgent matter?" He grins as Blake shrugs innocently before leaning in for a kiss. The two males gave their mate a savory kiss, pulling out everytime they sucked into each other's mouth's. Savoring the taste as their breathing got heavy and their pants got incredibly tight.

"I'm fucking you in the car." Blake states as he pulls out from the kiss before slamming his lips back for a more heated one.

"Arthur's here." He growls after he pulls out but grabbed the back of Blake's head and pushed his head to his for another kiss. "We should stop." He said once they pull out for air.

"You should stop." Blake growls and slams his lips again over Aries' causing the toddler to be pressed lightly against their weight. Arthur started clutching unto Blake's skin through his clothes making him push Aries back. "Fuck! Sorry pup!" He looks over at the flushed face of the toddler and plants a kiss over his cheeks. "Sorry, sorry!" He apologize between kisses.

"We better get home already before we do something worst." Aries jokes.

"Not funny, Aye!" He growls before returning his attention back at the squirming toddler. "Alright. Alright pup. I'm strapping you back to your papa. One, two, three." He locks the last strap over Aries' chest and patted the yawning babe.

"Where's you stuff?" Aries asked and Blake points his bag over the patio road as they started walking towards it. "So, what are we doing on this urgent matters when we get back?" He grins and Blake looked at the babe before turning his gaze over to his mate.

"Something about us not leaving our room for the rest of the week." Blake husked as he grabs his jacket and slungbit over his shoulder and leaning over the blonde man's ear. "My cock in your tight ass. Breeding you." He pulls out and started walking, Aries cheeks burn bright but he wasn't going to lose a battle of dominance.

"Or we could do something else." He husked once he caught up to Blake and ran his hand over the back of his mate making the raven haired male shiver once he felt the warm tip of Aries' fingers touched the skin of his back barely skimming the line leading to his ass. "Imagine this ass getting a pounded making you limp for weeks. Filling you up like you wanted." Blake moan escaped his lips as he looked at his mate. Both eyes shifting in heat.

"Fuck." Blake cussed.

"Fuck indeed." Aries husked and slowly closes the gap between them.

When suddenly Arthur, sneezed so loud and adorable, the two Alphas jump back and looked at each other surprised. They stare at the squirming toddler rubbing his nose while sleeping. Both men cracked and laughed. The sexual tension already gone.

"Oh, Art. What are we going to do with you?" Aries shakes his head as he looked down at the baby on his chest.

"He's like our personal cockblocker." Blake snickered. Aries was about to scold him when he pondered for a moment. He grins and laughed.

"Our personal cockblocker." He mused and as if the toddler understood on what they were saying started to cry.
