Night Owl

We made our way back to the den. My stomached ached from taking their cocks. I’d been thoroughly fucked and bred. My stomach had a small bump under my abs where my now sealed womb held their jizz. My stomach having torn several minutes ago. I laid atop of Marky now. His night in the center. Their body’s were soaking wet from sweat. The bed was slightly damp now from the time we’d spent having sex.

“Did….any guards report in about seeing anyone use the door?” I asked quietly.

Dylan yawned loudly. Throughly exhausted now from our fun together.

“Nah nothing. Nobody has seen anyone enter or exit that door. Marky already put in the request to have it filled. I think you may need to sign it tomorrow or something,” he said tiredly.

I nodded and curled my head on Marky’s chest. His black chest hair tickling my nose softly. I closed my eyes and soon I heard my mates snoring loudly. I knew they were probably already with their dads.

I shook Marky he didn’t budge. Kolby and Dylan’s arms were limp now sleeping. I stood up and they didn’t react.

I walked over to the dresser and grabbed a pair of underwear and shorts. Truth was I was gross and sticky covered in their jizz. I wanted another bath. I dressed up in dirty clothes and I opened the den door and stepped out. The guards saluted their faces red smelling my mates on me. I walked down the hall and entered the bathroom. I placed my laundry in the corner. Quickly undressing and stepped into the water. Sighing comfortably.

I never got to really take warm water baths and showers. This was just fantastic now. This whole room was for me and my mates only too made this even better. I ducked my head under the water. Making a bubble and floated to the bottom. I relaxed comfortably on the hot marble floor. I relaxed comfortably. Using a whirlpool to let air in every so often. I cleaned my body and relaxed fully. Swimming around enjoying myself. I felt myself going back and forth a lot with being alone. On one hand I agreed after the attempt on my life that I shouldn’t be alone often. On the other hand I still liked being by myself. I was a mess floating between the two.

I wasn’t sure how long I’d been there until I go scared seeing someone in the water with me.

“OH FUCK MAN!” I screamed quietly seeing a handsome pale face, blue eyes and black hair.

My father Atlas chuckled. He was simply sitting in the water relaxing.

“When did you get here?” I laughed loudly calming down after being frightened like that.

“Oh like 30 seconds ago.” He said chuckling.

I nodded my head gripping my chest laughing.

“We were all waiting for you and you didn’t show. Your mates were getting anxious. I said I’d go see what was keeping you waiting.” He chuckled.

I nodded my head. “Yeah I wanted a bath after we…….uh……well you know.” I said chuckling softly.

He nodded understanding. “I get it.” He stated.

“Yeah….after the attack they don’t really let me be alone. So I kinda wanted to use the time I knew they wouldn’t wake up to do that.” I said softly.

“Oh I totally understand where you and they are coming from. They had an idea that maybe you would want to be alone. I don’t think they thought you left your den though.” He stated nodding.

“Yeah…..they definitely put their foot down after everything.” I said sighing.

“Well yeah that’s fully understandable. I would….them doing so means I don’t. As well as your protection is in their hands. It’s their instincts to want to keep you safe. They love you a lot Dean. More than I think you even realize is humanly capable. Alpha’s feel very little emotions except hostility and anger mostly. Sometimes other things too but once they find their mates it’s like an emotional event has opened their eyes to new emotions they would very rarely feel sometimes all those new emotions directed at the singular source. In this case for them it’s you.” He stated.

I nodded. It was getting old hearing this though. I felt like everyone was always having the same conversation sometimes with me. He chuckled seeing me thinking this.

“Yeah I get it I do. Enough about your Alpha’s huh? I have a lesson in stars I wanna train you with. Your Alpha’s are doing sensory training and body training. So you and me are gonna do something different. There’s so much I wanna show you that you can do. So much I wanna see if you’re capable of doing like me. You are part of me anyway.” He said softly.

“Like what?” I asked him confused.

He chuckled and stood up. He flexed his back and suddenly 4 black wings with white sparkles on them sprouted out his back. I stared awed.

“You can do that?” I asked amazed.

“No Dean I can’t do that.” He stated.

He pointed at me and him. “We can do that. You, me, and my brothers. That spark of divine energy I gave you gives you access to pretty much anything I can do so far.” He chuckled.

I stared amazed. “I could do that?”

“In time baby boy. As for the issue of your alone time. I’ll go back and see if we can come to some kinda agreement okay. Sleep tonight I’ll see you tomorrow night. You may wanna sleep soon. If they sense that you haven’t entered the domains they will probably demand we wake them up.” He stated chuckling.

With that he vanished in his flurry of stars. I sat awed. I was gonna need to learn that. Because that would simply be amazing.

I got dressed and headed to my room. I looked at a clock that read 9:30. It was still pretty early. I walked into the den and saw my beautiful mates still sleeping comfortably. I thought it would be funny to make them cuddle. I wrapped their arms around Marky and chuckled. I walked over to the balcony and stepped outside. I sat for a bit listening to the hustle and bustle of the cities night life. My stomach growled.

It was kinda late to get food in the diner hall. I put on a shirt and shoes and decided I was gonna do something ballsy. I walked out the den and saw a guard.

“Hey if we wanna use money where do we get it from?” I asked him.

He looked at me and smiled. “The Royal funds. Go to the throne room and it’s in the back left door. Can’t miss it.” He said chuckling seeing what I was up too.

I nodded my thanks and left. I went to where he said and saw a room filled with money. I mean it was simply massive. Gold bars, jewels, diamonds, cash. Anything and everything was here. I smelled my mates musk and looked up. A vial of clear liquid was emitting their scent. I realized it was a scent copier I’d seen them on TV. You put sweat in the liquid and that was it. It was a way to preserve scents. Often used by Alpha’s whose beta died and they were raising children. I must be a warning for others but an intoxicant for me. I pulled out a 100$ and put it in my pocket. I walked to the doors and some guards looked at me nervously.

“Ah….Royal Beta…..your Alpha’s wouldn’t approve….of you leaving the castle like this.” One stated nervous.

“They don’t approve of lots of things…..like you talking to me. Sometimes rules can be broken yeah?” I said chuckling.

With that he zipped his mouth and I opened the door. The guards were even more **** to let me out but did so once they saw I was gonna leave.

I heard them whisper something to each other and one left. I walked out and onto the street. My insignia covered by my shirt. I got a few glances but I wasn’t sure if it was because they recognized me. I looked at all the shops and people. Amazed at how many there was. I smiled widely. I wandered the shops browsing at all the stuff. I found shoes and socks sweatshirt and vest. I moved around and saw games being played. People laughing and having fun. I kept getting weird glances. I realized I was the only beta out. Suddenly I smelled something incredible. I looked down a darker street lit by street lamps. I walked down and found the source of the scent. I saw a place with a glowing sign that said. ARTUROS’S TACO’S and a neon open sign still on.

I entered the building the door ringing as I opened it. Seeing lots of eyes fall on me. I got a couple wolf whistles. I blanched taking a seat at the counter.

“Welcome to Arturo’s Taco’s names Adrian what can I…..oh wow!” The tan 18 or 19 year old Alpha said from behind the counter.

I stared at him confused. I saw a lot of heads were turned towards me. “What?” I asked confused.

He shook his head his cheeks were red. “Oh uh it’s just that you’re beautiful for a Beta like wow. I mean starstruck.” He stated.

“Oh uh….thanks I guess.” I said feeling slightly repulsed. He wasn’t bad looking but he definitely had nothing on my mates. Also flirting randomly on top of sneaking out would truly be a slap in the face to them.

“I mean….” He chucked leaning in. Suddenly he blanched his whole body moving back. His face pale.

“Oh you are spoken for that’s certain. My your mates must be some dangerous dudes to make you smell like that I’ve never smelled something so deadly before. What the hell are you doing out at a time like this. This is when all us unmated Alpha’s come out. How are you even here mates smelling like that how would they let a beautiful Beta like you leave?” He asked confused.

I chuckled. They could smell my mates on me still when getting close. Guess I had bathed and worn new clothes. “They’re sleeping. Don’t really like me leaving the…..house often.” I stated.

“Yeah if you were my Beta I’d understand I mean…..I shouldn’t say. if your mates smell that way I can’t imagine they’re not the type to enjoy someone calling you beautiful. What can I get you this evening?” He asked chuckling.

I looked on the menu I’d never heard of these things before. I saw images luckily of items on the menu.

“What’s a chimichanga?” I asked quietly.

“No way you’ve never had a chimichanga? Oh man we gotta change that. Care if I get you my favorite order?” He asked chuckling.

I chuckled nodding my head.

“One chicken chimi….do you like spicy food?” He asked smirking.

“Oh yeah whenever I was allowed to.” I said nodding.

“Okay….perfect. There’s a booth in the back that’s empty take a seat and I’ll bring you chips and salsa. That’ll be 12.99$” he stated.

I nodded my head giving him the 100$ he gave me my change and I walked to the back booth getting smirks as I walked by. I sat down soon Adrian brought me chips and squeeze bottles. I looked on my left and saw salt and pepper.

“Anything else I can get ya?” He asked nicely,

“Uh do you have drinks?” I asked him curiously.

He nodded and pointed to a menu. I saw beer which thanks to Cole I was very familiar with and something else soda?

“What’s Soda?” I asked curiously.

His eyes went wide. I saw a couple people chuckle hearing us talk.

“You’ve never heard of soda?” He asked incredibly.

I shook my head. Was that weird?

“Where did you grow up?” He asked chuckling.

“Middle of nowhere literally. Took awhile to get here.” I said chuckling.

He nodded understanding. “We’ll care if I just get you my favorite again? It’s just a simple dark cola it is 1$ but I can just open a tab for you.” He asked.

I nodded agreeing. Worked for me.

He walked away and soon brought a clear plastic cup with ice and a dark brown liquid. I smelled it. It definitely would probably be sweet. I took a sip and found the drink fizzle on my tongue. It was definitely extremely sweet. It was amazing though I really liked it.

“Good yeah?” He chuckled.

I nodded taking another sip. I really really liked it.

He chuckled leaving me alone. I took some of the chips and the salsa. It was orange with a tinge of red specks inside. I squirted the bottle onto a chip and ate it. It was definitely spicy but amazing kinda smoky? Was that a word I could use? I took some salt and added it and it just made it better. Soon I was simply eating and drinking my soda. I noticed several eyes were on me. I looked away. That’s so awkward like why stare? All the Alpha’s in the room were probably 18 to 20. Definitely unmated as Adrian had said. Soon he came over with a white plate and what looked like a large tan log with green and white on top. Diced tomatoes and onion? A green herb I didn’t know. I took a fork and started eating it. It had cheese and what looked like rice and beans inside? Chicken like he said. I took a bite and found it was definitely the best thing I’d ever eaten in my life so far. Suddenly 2 figures sat in the booth next to me. I looked at them confused.

“You’re too pretty to sit alone.” One stated chuckling.

I held my hand for them to smell. They did so and blanched. Their faces turning white and bodies shaking violently.

“Oh we’re just being nice…..don’t uh…..wow who the fuck are your Alpha’s to smell that way….that’s like the literal scent of ****. Like I see myself dying smelling that alone?” One stated staring at me.

“They soldiers or something?” The other asked.

I didn’t want to be Royal Beta right now. I just……wanted to be Dean Somber. I nodded my head. “Something like that. It’s dangerous for you two to sit there.” I stated taking another bite of my food.

They didn’t leave not taking the hint. Adrian even warned them maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea but they shrugged their shoulders. Soon he brought their food to the table with me, asking if I was good. I nodded still annoyed though. Truth was I could kill them if I wanted any moment so I wasn’t frightened.

I was halfway through eating my food. They took the hint that i wasn’t interested in talking. I simply Ignored every word they said. I had doused my chimichanga in the orange salsa. Eating and enjoying every bite. Suddenly I felt emotional stirring. Panic and soon anger. My mates had probably done what my dad said they would and demanded to be woken up. I sighed continuing to eat. It was only a matter of time.

“Adrian could you make three more of these my mates woke up and are gonna find me shortly also can I get a refill on this soda stuff please?” I asked kindly.

He nodded looking at the other two. I looked at them as well.

“You may wanna move. My Alpha’s are gonna zero in on me in a matter of a couple minutes. I’d be willing to bet they can track my scent more than the average Alpha. Plus me leaving I can feel they’re on a warpath to right where I’m sitting.” I stated.

They nodded smirking. “Nah….maybe we’ll give your Alpha’s a lesson in making sure a sexy beta like you should be locked tight.” One stated.

The other nodded. “After all we’re the one’s keeping you company while they slept on the job.” He stated.

“Your funeral. They aren’t exactly rational guys. I’m sure the three of them will love to let you two say whatever it is you want while you sit in their seats.” I stated taking another bite.

I felt their panic and anger. I had gone against their wishes and snuck out. I think even my dad may not accept how far out of the bounds I left for sure. Was it a mistake though? No…..this food was definitely worth it.

“I would urge you two to move though. Honestly they’ll probably just snap your neck when they see you sitting next to me. Doubt they’ll be in a talking mood seeing that.” I stated.

“Oh really think we can’t handle our own?” One asked teasingly.

I shook my head. “Against them absolutely not. They’d probably slaughter the whole street if I asked nicely and wouldn’t break a sweat doing it.” I stated annoyed.

“Oh please sure they definitely smelled like some dangerous dudes but I doubt they could do that. That’s just you as their Beta feeling that way. It’s normal and cute to see.” One said teasing me.

I rolled my eyes. Truthfully I didn’t want to see a **** tonight. “Fine want a hint to who they are?” I asked annoyed.

“Sure doll.” One said winking.

I rolled up my sleeve so only the two of them could see. They looked at my insignia. Rolling their eyes this time.

“You expect me to believe you’re a demigod and Royal Beta?” One asked annoyed.

“Oh well I tried. Adrian if my mates kill someone id like to say sorry.” I stated to him.

He shrugged his shoulder. “Wouldn’t be the first time it happened in here. Things like this happen.” He stated chuckling. I saw him have three plates ready.

“Yeah just keep those there till they get here.” I stated to him he nodded his head.

Within a few minutes I saw them outside the window. The chatter towards the front stopped. I could see them make eye contact with me. Their panic relaxing and soon flooding with anger and frustration. I was facing the front the two intruders so kindly keeping me in annoying company hadn’t noticed them as they were facing away. I saw Adrian stare at the window shocked and afraid. Looking at me pale. I nodded my head at him. Everyone at the front stood and saluted before dropping to their knees. People in the middle now seeing them. The door opened with a swing the bell on the top ringing loudly. They stormed over towards me pushing people on the ground out of their way. Everyone could smell the anger on them some ran out.

“They’re here. Ready for that speech you wanted to give your Royal Alpha’s?” I asked them.

“Oh yeah absolutely. Mr Royal Alpha’s what are you doing letting your beautiful sexy Beta out at a time like this. Are you three dumbasses? I mean he’s not a talker but definitely a looker!” One stated looking at me and not them. I looked up at Kolby who had his arms crossed.

“That’s not fair….after all….we were sleeping after running military meetings all day.” Kolby stated growling loudly.

The two froze. I took a bite of my food. “For the record I wanted to sit alone these two didn’t get the memo.” I stated chewing.

“Oh we believe you.” Dylan stated. His teeth bared at them.

“See…..what I can’t understand though is……why……these two……who I’m sure could smell us…..would knowingly put themselves in danger. Seems irrational.” Marky growled loudly.

The two turned around and saw the three 9ft tall massive muscular Alpha’s that are my mates. One looked at me. “So…..you weren’t lying when you said you were the Royal Beta?” One said gulping.

I shook my head. “No I wasn’t. I also warned you that sitting next to me was a bad idea but you two didn’t wanna listen.” I stated nonchalantly.

It happened quick. Dylan’s hand was wrapped around both their necks lifting them up growing loudly as the two whimpered. I stopped him. “Look guys…..it’s my fault. I left…..please don’t kill them…I….don’t want that on my conscious….please guys…I’m sorry. I ignored them the entire time I swear.” I said softly and pleading.

Dylan looked at me I sensed his fury calm. All three of them had anger in their eyes. I was the emotional weak spot. Dylan growled loudly. His hands gripping tighter until I saw their faces turn purple. “FINE…..fine Dean…..” he stated.

Dylan walked with them to the door and threw them outside. He growled loudly. Turning and looking at me. All three sat down. Kolby on my side and the other two across. Kolby’s massive arm over my shoulders. They didn’t speak but I sensed their anger and frustration by this. “Uh….Adrian could you bring the food for them?” I asked chucking nervously.

He nodded pale as a ghost. Most people payed and left by now. Not wanting to be around the angry Royal’s he walked over and placed the plates on the table in front of them. “Adrian huh…..so on a first name basis now?” Marky growled at the tan Alpha who whimpered.

“Guys he’s the employee of course he gave me his name when I walked in.” I stated quietly.

I sensed their jealousy at this. It was something so small but seemed to make them go off.

“It’s okay you can go I’ll pay okay.” I stated to the whimpering male. He nodded and quickly moved away.

“Guys I…..didn’t exactly tell them who I was.” I said softly.

“That’s fine Dean but why the fuck are you out here like this what the actual fuck!” Dylan asked slamming his fork into the food angrily.

“I get that you guys are protective of me but guys…..” I said sighing.

Everyone left now. Even Adrian went to the back. The restaurant was now empty except for us.

“No Dean you know damn well what we’re talking about we told you that you’re not allowed to leave without us!” Marky stated frustrated.

“Guys it’s just-.” I was quickly cut off.

“NO! THERE IS NO EXCUSE WE TOLD YOU WHAT THE RULES WERE!” Dylan snarled loudly not looking at me. I knew if he did his emotions would tell him to calm. I was pretty sure it’s why non of them looked at me. They wanted to show anger right now. Not be held back by their instincts fully.

“No I get that bu-.” I started.

“No Dean what the actual fuck is wrong with you!” Kolby asked aggressively.

Now I was getting mad. There was nothing wrong with me.

“there’s nothing wrong with me!” I said angry.

“Sneaking out when we’re sleeping? That doesn’t strike you as something being wrong in your head?” Dylan growled looking away.

I felt my cheeks getting hot. That was passing me off who the fuck did they think they were to say that.

“Oh and trying to kill someone for sitting next to me or me knowing their name means something is right in your heads!” I asked annoyed.

“MORE THAN YOURS APPARENTLY!” Marky stated angry.

“OH REALLY WELL……you know what…….it’s not worth it…..fuck this just……maybe…..” I sighed loudly placing my head into my arms on the table looking at them as they looked away.

“MAYBE WHAT!” Kolby asked annoyed.

“Maybe……where just…..just not a good match for each other.” I said softly now feeling sad. I removed Kolby’s arm from my shoulder.

I felt their chest tighten now. Devastated from me saying that. All the anger leaving their systems. They turned and looked at me. Wide eyed and shocked. I just turned away.

“I mean…….I’m never gonna be a perfect sit at home person. Sometimes it’s what I want but sometimes……it’s not……I just……I never got to see so many people and places…..maybe your right…..maybe something is wrong with me……and maybe we’re just not a good match……after all we’re sons of gods and a part of some plan……it could just be both I guess…….I’m sorry guys…..but I’ll never be the caged bird you want me to be or maybe need me to be…maybe the person you guys deserve. Maybe……I need time to figure out myself….” I said softly sighing.

I felt their sorrow and devastation from me saying this deepen…I wasn’t saying this to hurt them.

“Like you guys brought up about how you three have to make concessions for me when we talked about this stuff last. It’s not fair for you guys……it’s not fair for me either…..call it a problem in my head…..maybe even a product of not being raised right even….I don’t know anymore. For me leaving to just eat shouldn’t be such an issue. Knowing someone’s name shouldn’t be such an issue. People sitting next to me simply talking even if it’s annoying shouldn’t be such an issue. Wanting to be……alone….shouldn’t be such an issue.” I stated quietly.

We sat in silence for several moments. I heard them crying feeling bad. I heard the back door open more.

“Can…..I say something your highnesses?” Adrian asked timidly.

We all looked at him. I nodded my head.

“Dean…..I have to side with them to a degree…not wanting our Beta’s to be around others and in the den is a normal way of life for us….it’s an instinct….here just a moment.” He stated

He ran out the door he was behind I heard the stairs and soon I heard more footsteps. I saw three people come out with him. Two older Alpha’s and an older Beta who seemed tired. I heard them speak in a foreign language I didn’t understand. The Beta sat down in a chair on the table across from us.

“My son has filled me in on what’s happening. Look Dean….your Alpha’s have drives they can’t control….from what I’ve heard it seems like you didn’t grow up with Beta’s and it’s no wonder your confused a bit on how it works…look these are my Alpha’s” he stated pointing to the Alpha’s who were sitting behind him.

“Dean…..what you’re feeling…..it’s normal and okay…..all Beta’s feel this way to a degree..no relationship is perfect….doesn’t matter if the gods choose the couples. Your Alpha’s are young as well and they might not recognize that there’s nothing wrong with you….” He stated he turned to his Alpha’s and spoke in the language again. The alpha’s began to speak.

“Boys….I speak as an older Alpha who’s been bonded for 40 years now. Beta’s are beautiful and amazing, simply perfection in a way we just don’t have the emotional capacity to understand because we didn’t grow up feeling these emotions. anger and drives to kill are our normal when the beta enters our lives it’s wonderful and emotional and deeply confusing on trying to figure out what’s best….a feeling I know you three share towards him. They bring out the best of us but also this sleeping giant of emotions we just never had to process before. Would I be correct in assuming your time together so far has been wonderful and loving but also like how I’m describing?” He asked us.

We all nodded our heads. Wiping the tears and snot on us away.

“See that’s normal….love isn’t something we truly feel until we find our beta and suddenly it’s all we feel about them. We may love our parents but it’s just not the same kinda love. I know you’re the royals and from my understanding none of you exactly had the normal experience with family until you all found each other. Here’s the truth….family is wonderful and beautiful but also quite frustrating sometimes. It’s normal to question decisions the others are making. Yet you love them so much you go along with it because love is so strong.” He stated.

The beta spoke again. “Dean……when we find our Alpha’s it’s a wonderful feeling. Someone can make you feel so safe and secure in a way you never quite knew you could. However Alpha’s have a nature that simply does grind against ours sometimes. Most Beta’s are more isolationist, some way more than others and of course theirs outliers but me I was a loner. Alpha’s have always grouped up especially since they go and fight but Beta’s we don’t normally go out and make friends. If we have friends it’s with our siblings. Boys Beta’s while yes tend to fold emotionally very quickly are raised opposite of this….Alpha’s are raised around each other in groups and fighting, making friend and so on like I said. There’s nothing wrong with him.” He stated. I could feel my mates feeling bad from saying this earlier.

“Alpha and Beta nature simply doesn’t align always. It would be foolish to think they will. Dean…..Alpha’s can’t control their drive to protect…it’s in our genetics….it’s the thing we’re raised and trained to do from a young age. Instilled in our genes and encouraged by those older than us that when we find our mate that we will need to do the same only harder. Sometimes to it makes us feel crazy and feral. This drive is overwhelming and often it does become over stimulating to the beta. It creates this thing we call a self fulfilling prophecy. You fear your beta will wander off but soon find that pushing back so much and fearing this pushes them to do so. Especially when they aren’t normally allowed too. Sometimes it happens because they become so afraid to ask they will simply do it. Even if at the moment it’s not a conscious thought or effort they’re making. They may or may not be directly going against your wishes but your wishes aren’t the only one’s that should matter.” One of the Alpha’s stated.

“From my understanding of what we could loudly hear and what we were told Dean today did consciously choose to leave. A choice he made but I have to ask if he asked to go alone would that have been something you would have agreed to? Did you consider that maybe he needs to see and explore alone sometimes even if it’s something you feel he can’t do?” The beta asked.

My mates shook their heads crying quietly. absorbing this information.

“Okay. That’s something right. Now can you forgive him for leaving like this? Or is this just something that you feel is unforgivable?” He asked them.

“There’s nothing to forgive…..it’s just……he was nearly assassinated…..last time he was alone.” Kolby stated sniffling.

“Yes I remember hearing about it…it was all over the news. I must say though….tragedy like this may **** your drives further into protective modes but it doesn’t mean that the person affected by this will have a desire to change. He may have wanted to go along with it but something someone agree’s to especially after such a traumatic event shouldn’t be taken as full belief. There may have been some time where he needed that security you three provided but emotions bounce back. We can only hope for that though because you three don’t want him to live in fear of the dark whenever you aren’t around.” He stated. My mates nodded understanding.

“You four need to hear a deep truth of how Beta’s instincts for solitude happen. Look while most become pregnant after the first bonding something happens to the vast majority of Beta’s during their pregnancy. Can you three guess what that is?” The beta asked them.

They shook their heads not knowing.

“While your drives to be around him all the time double and even tripple your Beta’s drive for solitude increases. This is a natural and normal survival instinct. They may become more isolated and reclusive and not know why. This is because their body knows before their mind does. They will even want to leave you guys. One of my sons he’s a beta to two wonderful soldiers here in the city. Know what he did before he found out he was pregnant. He ran and hid someplace in the outer area’s of the city. He didn’t know why he wanted to not be near anyone but it was because he was a loner before and then it was boosted by his pregnancy. I did it as well. Gave these two quite the fright. I went into the woods with nothing but food and a sword and didn’t return for 5 days. By this point our natural bodies, hormones, and instincts want their Alpha’s. That’s the truth boys. Is it rational no but it takes time for your Alpha testosterone to drop to a level that the beta’s body can recognize as safe for the children. They become frightened easily and even quick to anger at small threats. There’s a saying that something along the lines of nothing is more scary than an Alpha who’s about to be a father, other than the Beta carrying the child. Because while you may fear your Beta is in danger a pregnant Beta can be more viscous and calculated than any Alpha. Ask any mated and bonded Alpha who’s had a pregnant Beta and I guarantee you they’re more frightened by them then any danger they’ve faced.” He stated.

The two Alpha’s chuckled. “Oh man one time I thought it would be fun to wrestle him before we knew he was pregnant his second time around and let me tell you I still have scars on my chest from him. He was rabid it was quick and simply a bite and a couple scratches but let me tell you three. Don’t panic for your Beta when the day comes he’s pregnant. He’d take you three down in a heartbeat doesn’t matter how big or strong you three are. Which you three are massive for Alpha’s. Dean here will win. My advice when that day comes. Go limp and still let him move away don’t be upset and just know it’s a natural response. Remember until your testosterone drops and his body can sense that even if you guys aren’t near him and maybe miles away because that’s the bond working he’ll want to not be near you. It’s something Alpha’s let the younger bucks find out on their own.” He chuckled running a hand on the beta shoulder.

“Funny it rebounds you won’t be able to get your Beta away from you once his body has sensed the testosterone drop and security from you. He’ll probably **** at minimum two of you to remain near him at all times. That’s my favorite part of the pregnancy. You three will smell it on him after a couple days if you smell his clothing or something he’s left behind. However this is more down the road and a tad off topic.” The Alpha chuckled.

The Beta laughed softly “when I was pregnant with my youngest Adrian here and his brother who’s currently bonding someplace himself. I almost bit one of my Alpha’s fingers off when he found me under the mattress.” He chuckled.

The three of them laughed. A scary thing but a fond memory now.

“Look Dean the point we’re trying to make is wanting to be alone is normal….them wanting to be around you at all moments is also normal. Them wanting to kill because someone talks to you and sits near you other than them is also normal they can smell the pack and have a need to make sure the pack is together even if they may not like one another as Alpha’s but you’ll find them stressed even if one of the Alpha’s is not present especially during times of high stress. Territorial is a literal word I’d use to describe all Alpha’s with their chosen Beta. What you four will need to do is come to an understanding of each others needs and wants and finding a way to coexist. So the two natures can meet each other calmly but also mix together. The key is vocalizing your needs and wants right when you know it’s something you need, not later when it boils to the surface or something traumatic happens. Otherwise misunderstanding and anger happens and brings the harmony to a halt. Do you four understand what we’re saying?” The older beta asked.

We nodded and looked at each other crying. “I’m sorry.” I sobbed.

They sobbed loudly. Reaching over the table and wrapping themselves around me. I wrapped my arms around them. “No I’m so sorry Dean that was so out of line and I never should have said that!” Dylan sobbed loudly.

Kolby and Marky sobbed agreeing. “No it’s my fault I left the den and I knew you guys would be worried!” I sobbed.

“No it’s our fault….we’re just so scared something will happen again..” Marky sobbed.

“It’s a little of everyone’s fault…I find myself blaming nature or the gods sometimes. yell at your dads if it helps….try not to yell at each other.” The beta said chuckling.

We nodded laughing. Soon we talked and cried eating the food. I found myself using napkins to clean Dylan’s and Marky’s abs since they kinda leaned on their food when they hugged me. Soon we were laughing and spending time together. A conversation would still need to happen about coming to an agreement that worked for all of us. We made sure to pay them leaving another 400$ my mates had on them as a tip for helping us. We sat together enjoying their company. The beta told us more guidance that could help me. After all I wanted to be more in tune to my beta self. The Alpha’s doing the same discussing how to best navigate a Beta that liked to be alone, a thing the five bonded Alpha’s in the room shared in common. Soon we walked out thanking them after finishing the food. I gave Adrian a thankful wave. I had Kolby and Marky’s arms over my shoulders and Dylan behind me. His arms wrapped around my ribs. People gawked as we walked by something that simply came with the territory of who we were. The street now more empty. We stopped and shopped at a couple stores after going to the castle to grab money. Kolby and Marky knew the streets well having been capital boys themselves. We spent time together until it was 1am. Soon I found myself on Marky’s chest again. My mates snoring loudly trusting I won’t leave in the middle of the night again. I closed my eyes and drifted off into dreamless sleep.
