Chapter 62 More To The Story

Quintan

This night had turned chaotic we all tried to maintain our composure, but this was a mess. We thought Khione having all of us was over the top people still mocked it behind our backs. But now our kids are about to be an army of their own with their own with their mates. This was too much. Wasn’t it? And what else doesn’t make sense is that these newcomers aren’t of royal blood that we know of it’s not unheard of as we learned more and more a few supes have multiple mates, but it was rare in “common” supes. I stood next to Christan, we watched the kids dancing and laughing with their friends. The four birthday kids were in a corner in a deep conversation clearly trying to get to know each other and fit the pieces. We decided to have the kids separated in different wings until we could really figure out the logistics of all of this. A bunch of teens now finding their mates was a horny recipe for disaster if memory served me, we didn’t hold back when we met Khione, and it has been practically every day since we met and that’s years and how many kids. I rubbed my temples I was exhausted and ready to bury myself in my mate. I couldn’t even remember who was with who, and fuck what about grandkids my head throbbed at the thought it probably would hit 40-60 maybe more. With that many kids running around life wouldn’t be calm for a long time. I shook my head at the unease of the unknown.

Khione

I watched the four of them, a nagging feeling in the back of my mind. I wanted to be happy that they were finding their mates. I wanted to be happy that the twins found real family without dismissing us. But the other two made my hackles rise and I don’t know why. I sensed no ill intent from them. But it was almost like something menacing shadowed them waiting out of my line of sight hiding behind faces that were so similar to the ones I raised it was causing so much confusion. My panther wanted to hold them and get to know them mother them because they were my children’s siblings but the Alpha in me was on guard my wolf pacing back and forth in my mind. She remained silent but we were connected we were almost one I could feel her fear her protectiveness keeping a watchful eye. We didn’t stay long making our way to our oversized bedroom, it was practically the size of a small house to accommodate all of us, so my mates weren’t out of reach to me. We made sure to triple guard duty, but I knew I wasn’t sleeping tonight not with this tugging at something deep inside of me repeatedly.

“This has turned into an interesting night.”

Sutton whispered

“I can’t believe what’s happening every time we seem to have a peaceful moment something threatens to implode it all.”

Nathan said sitting next to her the others started filtering in. I rubbed my eyes.

“Do you think they will accept their mates?”

Sutton asked

“I don’t think Lya will.”

Ethan answered

“Why not?”

I asked sitting in Jaxton’s lap

“She told me she was in love with someone else earlier at the party.”

I wasn’t surprised I have seen her following her friend like a love-struck puppy, but I also wasn’t sure if she would pick her love or her mate.

“What about the rest of them?”

Tristan asked rubbing my back

“Honestly, I don’t know if all of these siblings would be willing to share with their other siblings. It’s getting a little……I don’t know incestual.”

Colton muttered

Christan and Quintan scoffed

“We’re twins and we share.”

Colton said nothing, just giving them a look

“We can’t interfere with their choices.”

Dominic stood by the window staring out he seemed disengaged almost robotic when he spoke

“I had no intentions of telling them who or what to pick.”

I got up and walked over to him rubbing his arm

“What’s wrong with you?”

He took a deep breath before turning around and looking at me

“Nothing.”

He said flatly but there was worry written on his face

“Talk to me”

He turned back to the window, and I forced him to face me

“I don’t know how I feel about having the other two. I have nothing against Genesis but why did she come back now? She couldn’t have known who their mates were right? It’s just suspicious timing that has me on high alert.”

I nodded, understanding him it made me feel uneasy too. Why I don’t know but I’ve always had my guard up for years since the night my rival tried to murder me. I haven’t truly been at peace knowing she was chained and dying but still capable of coming for me and my children. I pulled his lips to my lips and kissed him reassuringly I felt him relaxed but only a tiny bit.

“I’m going to go to bed early tonight.”

He pecked me goodnight and walked off his reaction stung. In all of these years, Dominic has never turned me down it made my unease grow. Tristan and Ethan, sensing my panic rushed to my side whispering how much they loved me while kissing my neck and lips running their fingers lightly up and down my arms and sides. The others watched as they worked together to undress me, taking me between them. What they were doing felt good, but my mind was distracted by the night's events amplified by Dominic’s strange behavior. I started to wonder if he knew more than he was letting on he seemed worried but also terrified. But what about our children finding their mates would rattle him so deeply? It couldn’t just be a father’s instinct to protect his kids. It had to be more than that but what?

Dravos/Dominic

I knew I wasn’t going to sleep tonight, but there was no way I was going to be able to hide the raging storm in my mind from my Khione. She was quick and too intelligent, I knew she sensed something already but if she pushed too far there’s only one thing, I feared her finding out. My true identity Genesis didn’t give me any hints that she was going to betray me or blackmail me. I couldn’t trust a blood witch, there was no telling what her next plan was. I paced the floor in front of my bed trying to prepare for various scenarios and ways out of here in case. But after all this time could I willingly leave Khione? Could I live without her after finally getting a taste, finally getting my full nightly? Live without seeing that smile daily? My heart clenched at the thought I rubbed my chest. But if I stayed and she found out, would she forgive me what would the others say? We’ve all grown close, we were a family, a true family, something I had never experienced before, and I know I’d die before I went back to the empty ache that was there before I found my home with them all. My brothers, my sister, my mate and my children. I couldn’t leave any of them, I wouldn’t.
