“Go with our new pack to their lands and make sure they are safe and have everything they need. Nicolai and Ethan will be with Barrett and I.” Grace’s face contorts and her brows furrow. The acrid scent of fear fills the air as she looks panicked between Ethan and I. “I can’t shift.” Her words make my chest constrict. Grace is completely helpless until the baby is born.
Signaling my beta, he brings the car around and we usher Grace into the back seat and huddle up around her. Barrett takes the wheel and we drive home. “What are we going to do? I can’t shift…” Grace’s voice wobbles as her bottom lip quivers. She’s terrified of what may happen.
“Easy. One of us stays with you at all times. We will make a rotation so at least one of your alphas is with you, so you're never alone.” Ethan says as he squeezes her hand.
Grace nods her head and looks down. She draws in a deep breath and I feel her anxiety kicking in. She’s trying to be strong for all of us. Her fear of failure far out weighs her fear of being killed. Ever since the pups were abducted, she sleeps with them in the bed with her and whichever of us she allows to join her. Lately it’s just been her and the pups due to how uncomfortable she’s been.
“Grace, someone needs to be in the room with you. Especially since Roxy was bold enough to appear in broad daylight.” Barrett’s tone is even as he looks back at her using the rearview mirror. It’s odd for the pack omega to make such a comment out of the blue.
“I know.” She sniffles a little. “I’m right back where I was, defenseless.” We can feel her anger flair and then deflate just as quickly.
Before Ethan can react, I reach out to lightly touch her under her chin, encouraging her to turn and face me. When she does, I see the faint glow of her wolf in her eyes. “You have five mates that will lay down their lives to protect you. You are not defenseless, you are pregnant with our pup. Out of all of us, you are doing the hardest job out of all of us. You are growing an entire being in your body. Everything that you are is going into the life you are sustaining.” I reach out and touch her stomach and rub it gently. “I was blessed getting to watch this once before, and I know how much it takes out of you. The Murphy boys are just learning how much effort and how draining it is for you.”
Ethan reaches out and gets Grace to turn to him. “We will do whatever it is you need us to do. Just name it and it will be done.” Grace nods and looks between the two of us.
“When we get home, I want to go to Ruby’s house for a while. You two need to blow off some steam.” Grace reaches forward and gives Barrett’s shoulder a squeeze. “Take care of our alphas, will you?” Her smile is beautiful as she looks up at Barrett.
“Of course Gracie.” Barrett reaches over his shoulder and touches Grace’s hand as he turns towards the old Luna’s house.
We drop Grace off at Ethan’s mom’s house and Barrett turns to head back to the Alpha house. His pheromones flood the car, making it hard to ignore the straining of my cock against the fabric of my shorts. Ethan’s deep, hearty chuckle pulls me out of my haze.
“His pheromones are almost as bad as Grace going into heat.” Ethan chuckles again, then looks up at Barrett fondly. “Be a good boy and show Nicolai exactly what you can do. I’ll wait for my turn.” We park in front of the Alpha house and Ethan gets out and heads inside.
Barrett comes around and opens my door and looks up at me. There’s a raw hunger in his eyes as he reaches out and runs his hands over my bare abs. “What does my Alpha desire?” His tone is low and sultry as his fingers slide down till they sink into the edge of my boxers.
“Show me what you’ve got, Barrett. Don’t hold back. Treat me like you would, Griffin or Ethan.”
His eyes light up and he winks at me. “I’ll be guessing since you haven’t marked me. I’ll do my best.” Barrett takes my hand and leads me into the house and straight to his room. It’s an honest to goddess omega nest. Pillows everywhere and only the softest materials as far as the eye can see. “Shower Alpha.” He motions to his private ensuite and I follow him in.
Barrett strips me bare and turns on the shower. When it’s reached a temperature, he’s happy with he motions for me to enter. Normally, I would fight tooth and nail about being told what to do. My curiosity is getting the better of me, so I’m letting him lead. “Don’t go thinking you will always be in charge, Barrett.” I remind him as I watch him lather up his loofa.
“I’m following my Luna’s orders Alpha. She does out rank everyone in the house.” He gets a wicked grin to him and winks at me before he runs his hands all over my body. His loofa glides over my skin, making me painfully hard in seconds. Barrett moves closer and starts to lick and nip at my skin. “If my Alpha would be so kind, please reach above you and hold on to the rail. Don’t touch.”
He pouts his bottom lip at me, and I shake my head at him. “Only because Grace wants it.” Reaching up, I stretch my body to grip the rail above the shower.
A low whistle of appreciation escapes Barrett’s lips as he looks me over. “Damn, we are lucky to have you.” He licks his lips, then kisses a trail down my chest to the head of my engorged cock. His tongue swirls around the tip before he opens his lips a little and slowly slides my shaft into his hot, wet mouth. Moaning, my abs tense as I try to thrust up into his mouth. Slender hands grip my hips as his thumbs rub over my hip bones, stilling my motions.
I watch as his blonde head bobs up and down, sliding his tongue along my length before he sucks me back down. The moment the head of my cock passes the ring of muscle at the back of his throat, I damn near cum. His hand slides across my lower abdomen until he’s got one hand on my balls and the other pulsing his grip around my swollen knot. Never in my life have I experienced a blowjob like this before. He’s an expert in every sense of the word.
The hand that was on my balls suddenly disappears and I can hear the wet slaps of his hand as he jerks himself off in time with his head bobs. The combined sounds have my balls drawing up, tightening. “I’m gonna cum…” I warn him and at the last second he deep throats me and I cum hard. His hand locks tightly around my knot. I feel like my heart damn near stopped. He groans around my cock as the last of my seed spills down his throat. I release the bar and run my fingers through his hair. “Good boy Barrett.” He slowly slides my cock out of his mouth and draws in a deep breath.
I help him stand, then kiss his shoulder and I bite him. Barrett gasps as his hands fly to my hips to steady himself. He cums again, this time spraying my abdomen with his seed. Gently, I lick his shoulder, cleaning the wound I created. “Be a good boy and bring our Grace home and get her to take a nap. It’s been a very trying day.” I slap his ass as he turns to leave.
“As you wish Alpha.” The broad smile on his lips tells me that me marking him meant everything to him. The Murphy boys did a good thing choosing such a dedicated and loving omega. I finish my shower, taking my time cleaning every inch of me. Barrett is phenomenal, but he’s no Grace. I can’t wait until I can make love to my mate again. For now, Barrett will have to do.
Chapter 27
Barrett
-Die4U- Bring Me the Horizon-
With everything that is going on, sleep seems to escape me. No matter what position I try to lie in to make Grace comfortable, it seems in vain. Grace and the babies are curled up in my nest with me sleeping peacefully for now. I lay here listening to the sounds of them breathing slow and deep. The occasional coo from one of the babies, as well as the soft murmur from Grace to comfort them back to sleep. Grace rolls slightly in her sleep. Every little movement wakes me up all over again. It’s now that I understand why the others have been letting her sleep alone.
Popping one eye open, I look over at the clock on my side table and its one am. Six more hours of possible sleep is all I may get. Tomorrow is going to suck … Carefully, I extract myself from the bed and look over the room and then head into my ensuite bathroom. Running my hand down my face, I look at myself in the mirror. There are bags and dark circles under my bloodshot eyes. My concealer is not going to be strong enough for this in the morning.
Turning away from the mirror, I use the facility and return to the counter to wash my hands in the sink. There’s an icy chill that runs up my spine, and I can’t help the jolt of fear that shoots through me. “Something’s not right. Check the house.” I say through the bond to my alphas. Closing my eyes briefly, I try to will the feeling to disappear. It’s not budging, this can’t be good.
“What do you mean?” Griffin answers, his voice groggy in the bond.
