THE ALPHA’S SIGMA
Alek
Aria trotted along beside Alek as they headed back to their rooms. Her hand gripped his tightly, and she kept glancing up at him with a worried expression.
“What?” he finally asked, looking down at her. His head and heart were in turmoil—the revelations from watching Paldon and the Wolf negotiate had stunned him. And as grateful as he was to Carina, it wasn’t the same as hugging his own mother. He felt incredibly envious of Bella. Angry that he hadn’t gotten the same opportunity. Logic said he shouldn’t have expected it… and he hadn’t, but emotions weren’t easily logicked away.
“I’m worried about you,” Aria stated baldly. “Are you going to going to try to warn your father?”
Alek came to a halt, blinking in surprise because it wasn’t until Aria asked the question that he realized he’d barely thought about his father.
What kind of son did that make him?
Yet he felt more guilt overnotfeeling guilt than he did over knowing his father was likely going to be assassinated soon. He tried to dredge up some kind of caring. Some kind of anger orsadness. The most he felt was faint regret… He should feel more than that about the upcoming death of his father, yet having learned everything his father had done, realizing what kind of male his father was… for the first time, he felt like he wasn’t duty bound to him.
Duty appeared to be all he had connecting him.
But he did worry about his mother.
“No, I’m not,” he said quietly. “He is my father, and there is a part of me that loves him, or at least like I should love him, yet I’ve only been concerned about my mother.”
Studying his face, Aria gave his hand a little squeeze. “Cora will make sure your mother has the opportunity to join you.”
But would she? Would she be like Carina and want to come to the territories? Or would she want to stay in Zone One with her friends and her influence? Alek suddenly felt very, very tired, not sure of the answer.
All he knew for sure was he couldn’t go back.
“I hope so,” he finally replied and started walking again.
When they reached the rooms, Cora and Trace were waiting for them in the front room. Well… waiting in a manner of speaking.
The door slid open, and Alek’s cock went fully erect when he saw the Alpha pair on the couch, naked, Cora atop Trace’s lap. His huge cock was buried in her pussy, the bulge of his knot visible as she moved up and down—Alek realized she might not be able to accommodate it the way Aria and he could.
The pair looked up, and Cora smiled, reaching her hand out toward Alek and Aria.
Aria immediately moved forward, stripping off her clothes as she went, leaving a trail between the door and the couch. Following more slowly, Alek stepped through the door, letting it swish shut behind him. Heat fizzed through his blood at the sound of Trace and Cora’s combined purrs as Aria knelt besidethem, moving in to kiss Cora, shattering his thoughts and his melancholy.
The sweet scent of Aria’s arousal merged with Trace’s and Cora’s, making him want to groan as his pulse pounded through him. The urge for distraction, for touch, for pleasure surged. Watching the interview had been difficult. He wanted to lose himself in his body, his senses… and they wanted to help him.
Abandoning any reluctance, he moved forward, following Aria’s example, to join them on the couch.
They all reached for him, pulling him in, making him part of their pleasure.
Slick bodies moved against each other, mouths and tongues trading places.
At one point, he was buried inside Aria as she bounced atop him, much like Cora on Trace when they’d first walked in, his knot expanding as her Omega pussy sucked him in and squeezed, sending his Alpha side into pure ecstasy. At another point, he fisted his cock, moving his hand up and down as he watched Trace plow into Aria from behind, her mouth buried in Cora’s pussy. Then he was between the two Alphas, Cora’s pussy clamping down around him while Trace thrust into his ass, forcing his knot past the straining entrance.
Caught between them, a Sigma trapped between two Alphas, he cried out helplessly as they used him with delicious abandon. His body pulsed, shuddering and cumming over and over, caught in the maelstrom of their lust until he couldn’t take anymore, and then still they used him.
The shower they took afterward truly was just for getting clean, as they were all utterly spent. Alek groaned as he fell onto the bed, his muscles feeling watery, his cock and ass sore from use. Yet he felt… good. Satisfied. As if he was exactly where he wanted to be, where he was supposed to be.
“We’ll be moving on to Riversong tomorrow,” Cora murmured as she climbed into the bed beside him. Aria was on his other side, Trace lying down beside her, so the two Alphas were on the outside. Cora’s fingers traced a line down the center of Alek’s back. “Once we are there, I will send for your mother.”
“Thank you.” He felt himself relaxing as Cora’s finger began to trace little circles across his back. Since he was facing Aria, when he opened his eyes, he saw her smiling back at him as if to say,I told you so.
Returning her smile, he allowed himself to relax further, falling into slumber.
