Separation

I opened my eyes and was greeted with darkness. I didn’t move or react. Was this a dream? Had I died? No…..I’d be in my fathers domain if I’d died. Was this his domaine? I attempted to stand and found myself falling forward. Was I already standing? The sensation were difficult to describe, to comprehend. I felt nothing. I saw nothing. A flicker of consciousness in a sea of black. I felt myself panic but it didn’t come from my chest…..I……didn’t have a chest. My mind panicked in the sea of simplistic blank. My mind raced. I desperately tried to cling it to something anything, anywhere, soon I found Nothing.

With that though, A flicker of sensation darted down my body…..I had my body? I felt a tug from my feet was it a hand **** to grab me? A new sensation finally. Suddenly another. I knew this was in fact a hand around my neck. Pulling back from my feet. The two forces wrestled for control of my direction. I felt my mind stretch and pull. My body failing to rip and instead stretched itself out. I wasn’t sure how long this continued, why this was happening. I only knew it was occurring to my being. I wanted to scream yet nothing came out. I heard….yes I heard…..ringing? When I screamed that’s what I could hear in the distance. I screamed louder for the tug of war to stop. Begging it to end I hated this feeling. I felt what could be fingers go into my eyes.

Suddenly I could feel a bend inside….a snapping…..ripping….tearing. I felt something separate from me. Detached forcefully. Whatever was gripping my neck lost its grasp and I felt the tug of war had ended…..

*Squelch*

I felt my face collide into something soft and wet. I screamed out in agony as I felt the intense pain from my right side. I opened my eyes and found only my left could see. My left hand desperately reached out to my right and found nothing.

This pain was unbearable. This stinging ached my very being. I looked down as I continued to scream and saw both my legs were gone. Only my left side starting at my hip half my abs, my chest were left. No blood left my body a vague outline made of black mist replaced my missing limps. They didn’t respond to my needs to move.

I laid and cried. I wasn’t sure how much time had passed while I sat in cruel pain. The searing throb became dull and finally just an ache. What felt like hours before the pain had stopped. I finally looked around and saw only meat in this dark place. Meat and bones. A place I was familiar with for all the wrong reasons. I crawled forward. **** to find an exit. My left arm my only source of mobility. Tears cascaded down my eyes.

*Squelch*

*squelch*

*squelch*

The noise rang out in my left ear every time my hand made contact with the wet floor. I sobbed as I crawled. I felt no emotional connection to my mates. I wasn’t sure how long I crawled before I heard it. I stoped moving making sure it wasn’t a sound I was making.

*squelch*

*Squelch*

*SQUELCH*

I looked around and saw nothing. The noise became closer.

“There you are.” A deep raspy voice stated.

I panicked and suddenly felt my arm be grabbed. I screamed out frightened. Fire suddenly danced around us. My arm was raised until a familiar man stood before my eyes. His red hair and black and red eyes that held a look of glee.

“Tisk, tisk, tisk. Look at you, a soul ripped apart. Your body really didn’t want to let you go. I would have gotten all of you if it weren’t for your father and Aelius intervening at that last moment. Guess we can share the blame for this 50/50 lucky me though. I had the foresight to grab you by the head. Took your consciousness with this smaller fraction of your soul.” He said laughing cruelly.

I stared horrified from the man in my dreams.

“Ohhhh where’s my manners. Sorry dear nephew, I’m your dear uncle Zagan. That’s how your father makes the others introduce themselves to you I’m sure. We love our dear brother. Wouldn’t want to upset him by mocking him and the son he so doted upon.” He sneered.

I tried to kick but remembered my lack of legs. I stared hatefully at the man from my remaining eye.

“Awe look at that blue eye….so full of hatred. You truly are your fathers son. My you look so much like him. I’m sure you’ve never seen that look upon his face, hate in his eyes. You are his most cherished little thing in all creation. A small little mimic of a creature he spawned. All his loving and doting still couldn’t keep you from me. My even Aelius seems to worry for you? Ace’s power was riddled into your body. Ajax and Esen desperately hiding your trails from me. I wonder what’s so special about you? A small little Beta quite handsome sure you are a mimic of your father.” He laughed.

“if you don’t understand the appeal why did you take me?” I snarled through half clenched teeth.

“Mmm morbid curiosity I suppose. A failed little weapon they made. Atlas would never allow you to be changed into an Alpha. What were his words? He’s beautiful the way he is? It was something like that.” He chuckled.

I stared hatefully how did he know that?

“Hmmm wondering how I know? That little peeper of yours tells me everything you’re so easy to read. My brothers aren’t the only ones capable of watching from afar little creature. They’re in for quite the rude surprise when they realize I’m not in my prison.” He laughed loudly.

I was gonna die here. I stared hatefully at this man. The one who’s caused me so much pain and torment. The man who’s been hunting me. The man whose monsters almost killed one of my mates.

“Ohhh I love that look from you….don’t worry little creature I can’t kill you. Not with that I have in my hand. You’ll die soon though and the rest of your soul will come here **** to reattach itself. The body can only live so long without all of its soul. Even right now, father and uncles already saved your body but you’re currently dying on a bed somewhere. You and me hidden far away. By the time you’re truly dead. You’ll be begging me to stop and relinquish the piece of divinity your father so lovingly gave you. I need your permission after all.” He laughed.

“Bullshit im in your domain they’ll find me! I’ll give you nothing!” I snarled at him.

“True you are in my domain…..what makes you think I don’t have others? We’re gods little creature. Who do you think makes the domains?” He laughed loudly.

“Oh I’m gonna have a lot of fun with you. Don’t think that just because you can’t die doesn’t mean you can’t HURT!” He snarled with glee.

Suddenly a ball of black fire erupted from his hand holding my wrist. I tried to bite my lip to keep from screaming. The stinging was the worst sensation I’d ever felt and soon my voice echoed across the dimly lit landscape of meat and bones. I screamed in agony. The scent of charred meat filled my single nostril. He threw me aside. I looked at my wrist and saw it was fine.

It’s not real! The damage isn’t real!

He stomped over and shocked me with black lightning. I screamed out again.

“Yes little creature the damage isn’t real but the pain sure is.” He laughed as he tormented me.

This was my life. I wasn’t sure how long I’d been here. Weeks….months…it all felt like it blended together in a sea of pain. He had used veins to tie my wrist from a large spine in the floor. He’d use everything at his disposal to hurt me. I kept reminding myself that the damage wasn’t real….however that only got so far when like he said…the pain was.

I cried and cursed. He always was near me never leaving my sight. Tormenting me with words and powers, Until.

“My your a tough little cookie. Daddy would be proud.” He started another one of his monologues before he grew agitated.

“WHAT WORM!” He snarled looking away.

He listened to nothing in the dark. I stared confused trying to see if anyone was there. Suddenly he stormed away in a flash of red mist.

I dangled suspended. I heard rapid movement in the shadows a tall very muscular man darted from the sea of black. His red slick back hair and red chest hair showed off his pale skin. His light red eyes met mine. His massive muscular pecs heaved fast as he panted. This Alpha looked so much like my captor. From his broad jawline to his masculine nose. I realized this was the man he was tormenting with me in my dream. I smelled dew and earth from his skin. A scent I longed for desperately. His musk was the same as my Alpha’s. He looked at me concerned and frightened. His head darting around rapidly in the dark.

“Who are you?” I asked weakly.

He eyed me concerned for a moment.

“Asher.” He said his voice was smooth and deep.

He placed his muscular hand on my shoulder as he cut me loose. I watched as a red hue formed on his hand. He aimed his finger up into the air and a bolt of red shot up and into the darkness.

“We need to run.” I said weakly.

He looked at me and shook his head.

“There’s nowhere to run.” He said sternly.

I looked down at my missing legs.

“No we need too. you’re my missing Alpha.” I said quietly.

He looked at me sad for a moment.

“I’m aware. I’m just a soul right now my physical body is somewhere else.” He said quietly.

He picked me up and studied me. I looked up at his massive muscular frame. He was easily close to 9ft. Still shorter than my dad and the other gods but just taller than my tallest mate Marky.

”there’s no real damage done to your soul. The rip will be easy to repair by our uncles. One of them will have noticed the power I’ve shot into the dark.” He said sternly.

“Our uncles? Are….?” I began to ask.

“Yes. I’m Zagan’s son. Don’t worry about us being Mates we’re not blood related. Even if by some sense we’re cousins in words.” He said quietly.

He looked as if he was fighting his senses. His hand went to his head as he groaned in pain. He looked at me with a sudden dull look in his eyes. A black hue beginning to form into the whites of his eyes. Before blinking and returning to his senses. He stopped for a moment before lifting me higher and planting a kiss on my lips. He sniffed me several times. His muscles relaxing as he inhaled my pheromones.

“What’s your name?” He asked softly.

“Dean Somber.” I said quietly planting another kiss on his lips.

He held me in a hug for only a moment. Sighing softly before setting me down.

“I have to run Dean….I…..don’t wanna hurt you. He can manipulate people to do his bidding. He can’t touch you like that cause the spark of divinity your dad gave you. I have to go now…..I….don’t want him to see me.”

“Find us…we’re in the capital at the Royal Palace.” I said to him softly.

He looked startled for a moment.

“Dean don’t tell me that!” He said panicked.

Before I could ask him why. Suddenly a bright orange hue surrounded us. A tall figure stood illuminating the darkness. His handsome face glowed slightly. His short blonde hair and orange yellow eyes brought immediate relief. Aelius.

He stared at Asher for a moment.

“Hmm another nephew.” He said in thought.

He looked at me concerned with my state. He took me from Asher’s arms.

“Are you the one who shot the beacon?” He asked.

Asher nodded his head. With that he sprinted back into the void without a word. I didn’t want him to leave. Yet knew I was unable to stop him.

“Aelius…here to spoil my fun!” Zagan said in the dark.

His red hair and pale skin stepped out of the dark void. His hand wrapped around Asher’s neck as he flailed.

“You interrupted our boys having their moment. Oh young love when an Alpha finds his Beta. It goes against every rational sense he has to not help him. Always putting themselves in **** danger just to get them. They’d rather die than their Beta.” He said smiling.

I looked horrified at Asher as he looked at me concerned.

“Oh don’t worry Dean. I still have use for him. He won’t die….no…..you’ll see him again.” He said laughing.

He looked at Asher with annoyance.

“You’ll get your precious Beta whether you want to or not. My pitiful little spawn.” He said with a snarl.

He looked at Aelius whos eyes stared at him with hate.

“Oh you were always Atlas’s attack dog for his wants and needs. Then his lost little puppy how you’d follow him around catering to his every whim. Love struck and **** to get our solitude loving brother to notice you. A tragic love story of a charismatic happy fool falling in love with a loner.” He sneered at Aelius.

Aelius didn’t react to his words. He simply stared on suddenly a smile on his face.

“I definitely prefer his version of solitude compared to whatever shit show you have going on. For someone who’s mocking you sure spend a lot of time playing copycat with Atlas. Being alone, fathering a kid the same year. What Zagan don’t have a style of your own? Is meat and bone the way you think you’re original?” He mocked the red haired man.

Zagan grimaced as he stared at Aelius.

“This pathetic display of power you have going on simply makes us pity you. You had to steal part of our power from the pantheon and even then was it just your nature to attempt to cosplay us even the abilities you’re using aren’t original. After all meat and bone are Ace’s area. Wholly unoriginal and uninspired. Goodbye Zagan may the next time we meet it’s with your head on a chopping block.” Aelius stated.

Suddenly in a brilliant flash of orange we zipped into the darkness. Illuminated by Aelius. We traveled through a sea of black for a couple minutes before appearing in a field of orange and gold.

“Sorry for the detour Dean. I didn’t realize he had taken a land so far in the middle of the soul domain. That wasn’t his domain we never would have looked out there.” He said panting.

“Wait that wasn’t his domain?” I asked confused.

He shook his head. “No we scoured his domain for you and couldn’t find him or you there. He seems to have corrupted a soul domain. They’re like islands where the souls of mortals go once they die. He seems to have removed everyone and cut off all access to it for mortal souls to go. We’re in my domain now. I need to recharge myself. we need to get you to your body as soon as possible. Your soul has been ripped in half. Your body is almost dead. Another day down here and it would have.” He said panting lighter now.

“How long has it been its felt like months.” I said concerned.

“He did that. He was messing with your mind to make you feel that way. It’s only been a week and a half. Your father has been in an absolute state of panic. He’s ushered in an apocalyptic event on earth to find you. His stars fell from the sky and he’s in a state of rage I’ve never seen before. He’s using every ounce of his divinity to reap war on the earth like we’ve never seen. Butchering and culling every drone’s den and flooding complete lands in his wake. We’ve saved all the mortals don’t worry they are not his target. Ajax and Esen are helping him destroy earth and sky to find you. Ace is using animals to hunt and find you. We vowed to not use our powers like this on earth ever again. Still there’s always exceptions. I stayed and searched his domain and luckily I saw the red flair of power your mate seems to have used to alert us.” He said concerned.

“Oh man it’s good I found you when I did. C’mon let’s get you back to your body.” He said softly.

With that he leapt again into the air. Yellow and orange danced around us and I found myself in a room I’d never seen before. I looked over and saw my body on a bed. The base my father had set for my body seemed to have wilted. I was thin and frail. My ribs showed every crease. My face was thin and gaunt. Deep black circles under my eyes. My body looked like a corpse. Slightly above my body a blue hue rose ever so higher than my legs and arm, over my right chest and face. He walked me over and set my fractured soul down into my body. Everything vanished for a moment and it felt as if a puzzle piece had clicked into place. Suddenly a jolt shot down into my legs and right arm. Everything reconnected.

My eyes opened weakly and groggy. I took a deep breath the air rushed into my lungs. Aelius held my wrist. He placed a large hand on my left side and a brilliant orange and yellow light glowed brightly. It tickled a bit as his hand moved from my hip over my abs, up my, chest, neck, and face.

“I just fully reattached your soul. Just a moment.” He said softly.

Suddenly a deep warmth flooded my body from where he was holding my wrist. I looked down and saw my ribs slowly vanish as my muscles and meat grew out once more. My body felt strong again. My mind was still quit tired.

“Your body would have healed itself to the base your father made for you but that would have taken time. You need to be up and strong again. He needs to see you’re gonna be okay with his eyes before he calms down to any degree. All he’s doing is raging uncontrollably.“ he said softly.

Suddenly my emotions tuned into three sources. It sucked the air from my lungs to feel. Deep despair unlike anything I’ve ever felt. Pain, desperation, mourning. A sense of loss like I’ve never felt before. It was crushing my very being into bits to feel. I tried to tune myself into it but it was like a wall of despair that refused to acknowledge my presence.

“Feeling your Alpha’s? They’ve been worse than your dad. They refused to leave your side for a week, didn’t eat, didn’t sleep. Still haven’t to my knowledge. Every little movement around you resulted in instant hostility. They left a few days ago. We supercharged their abilities. Demigods practically in their own sense now. Dylan’s lighting making him faster than any mortal ever could as he runs around looking for you. Marky’s digging earth and causing earthquakes to look in the ground for any trace of you. Kolby’s is causing fires and destroying whole ecosystems that the drones have taken doing the same. It’s bad Dean. They won’t acknowledge any words they can’t even find themselves able to speak as well. They’re ****. I doubt they can even rationalize enough to sense your emotions right now.” He said with worry.

He suddenly punched the wall with all his ****. It caved in and collapsed. He held his arm out the massive hole and shot a fireball into the air. Suddenly several guards charged in and saw us. Weapons drawn looking at Aelius.

“It’s fine he’s the sun god.” I stated looking at them.

They looked at me shocked.

“Royal Highness!” They all stated dropping to their knees and saluting.

“Get up now isn’t the time. Where are my Alpha’s?” I asked.

“Sir they are outside the walls. They are rampaging looking for your soul!” One stated.

Aelius walked over and removed my underwear with a rip. I stared confused. The guards were now on alert again seeing Aelius strip me.

“I’ve already found it. Here take this to them. Alert them that Deans awake and alive. His pheromones will smell normal now. I know they’re rampaging but the scent will calm them for a second so you can speak. I’d start with either Dylan or Kolby, Marky could be anywhere under the ground right now one of them will need to alert him.” He ordered.

They looked at him then at me unsure. I nodded my head agreeing. With that one took it and they ran out.

I looked at Aelius confused.

“Your pheromones smell different when you’re dying, those three could smell it the entire time you were missing your soul as your body slowly decayed. Now that you’re back and healthy again your pheromones are normal again. Your underwear was all you were wearing but your loins are the most potent smelling part of your body. Well any Beta’s body really.” He stated.

I nodded Understanding. It was hard to focus on their emotions with how awful it felt to feel. I felt myself start to cry slightly **** for them right now.

“I know Dean I understand. They’ll be here soon. It’s your instinct to need them right now. Hold yourself together for a bit longer though. I’ve summoned your father. I placed a memory of you on the table awake in the fire I’ve sent. He should get it soon.” He said sitting next to me with a sigh.

I sat up. My back popped a bit. My body ached my muscles felt extremely tight.

“Can’t be fun recovering from that state. A soul torn in half and returned after over a week can’t be easy. You’d be dead if you weren’t a demigod with that sliver of Devine energy your father gave you. I’m sure that’s what Zagan was after.” He said with a sigh.

I nodded my head. “Yeah uh he tortured me….said he needed me to give it willingly. Oh gods I hope Asher is gonna be okay.” I said horrified.

I had remembered my fourth mate. Zagan’s son. He saved me alerted Aelius of my location. I truly hoped he was okay.

“I don’t know what his plan with Asher is. Him having a son is news for us and it seems that’s who he bonded to you. In some news he said he wasn’t gonna kill him so that’s….something. In time the bond will **** him to you on its own. It’s the guarantee of all bonds.” He said in thought.

It didn’t help my worry. It was something though, he was alive. If Zagan kept what he said and didn’t kill him. I worried about all my mates. The four Alpha’s who’ve protected me in such a short time. Asher was now apart of that list.

“I know it’s gonna hurt. It’s normal for all Beta’s to want their Alpha’s near them once they meet and acknowledge one another. It’s the exact same and stronger for Alpha’s to want their Beta near them as well. He’ll find you eventually. As I said the bond will **** him to seek you out now that he has found you and seen you. Right now though Dean there’s nothing you can do. Focus on your dad and the three Alpha’s you have right now that are an emotional wreck for you. There’s nothing we can do for Asher this moment.” He said rubbing my back.

Suddenly the hole in the wall shook a figure darted through the open hole in the wall. My father appeared his handsome pale face was red and tear stained. He panted as he looked at me scared that his eyes were lying. He moved quickly and appeared over me. His hand rested on my cheek for a moment tears cascading down his face.

“Hey dad.” I said weakly.

He wrapped his arms around me as he sobbed loudly. I wrapped my arms around him weakly. He said nothing as he cried. Just holding me as tight as he could without hurting me. For several minutes that’s all he did.

“W-where were y-you?” He sobbed into my shoulder.

“Zagan took my soul Aelius is the one who went into the domain and saved me, he seems to know more about what happened. I’m just the guy he rescued.” I said quietly.

My father continued to sob loudly into my neck. His massive frame leaning down to hold me tight. He looked over at Aelius.

“Zagan had him in a soul domain. He’s corrupted a small section and blocked it off. I’ve already bonded Deans soul rip back together. He’ll be weak and need sleep. I also think it may be wise for all 5 of us to speak in the pantheon once his mate’s get here. Zagan has a son who he’s bonded to Dean. He’s the one who alerted me to Dean’s location in the soul domain using his own abilities. I will vouch to everyone that the boy whose name is Asher did save Dean by alerting us. Zagan does not seem very fond of his son in the slightest.” Aelius stated with a sigh.

My father nodded his head. He held me tight. Afraid to let go.

“Atlas please call off the stars I can still sense them destroying the land.” Aelius said softly.

“Oh shit yeah.” He said wiping his nose.

He waved his hands and I supposed that was that.

“You four can have a meeting I’m not leaving my son.” My father said into my shoulder.

Aelius stood up and walked behind my father holding him by his shoulder.

“Atlas….Dean needs to be with his mates for a bit. They need to be with him too. The guilt they feel is terrible. They’ll respond hostile to anyone other than him even you in their state. That bond you have with Dean allows you to see him normally but this is not normal circumstances. They got hostile with each other. Dean doesn’t need to see a wedge between you and them. It’s their instinct to kill right now. Come back tomorrow or the day after. Give them time to rest and recover with him. Give Dean time to rest and recover with them. He will be safe with them. That’s why you picked the three most hostile and aggressive Alpha’s for him.” He said softly to my father.

My father nuzzled my neck quietly for a moment. Before looking at Aelius then me.

“He’s right…..you need them right now. You’ll be okay while I’m gone right?” He asked softly.

I nodded my head feeling myself start to cry. I loved my dad but I really needed my mates right now too.

“I’ll stay right here until one of them arrive. He’s right they’ve been aggressive. You don’t need to see that from them right now. I’ll be back soon though okay.” He said kissing my cheek.

Suddenly I felt intense emotions from someplace. One of the signals had tuned into a different emotion. It was anger and fury beyond comprehension until it stopped. Replaced by worry…hope? A sudden and intense need. I started crying knowing one of them knew I was okay now.

“Feel that. Sudden jolt in the air outside, that was definitely lightning feet. He’ll be here soon.” Aelius commented.

My father hugged me tight ignoring the comment. I hugged him back. He was finally calm again.

Suddenly the air hummed. My father and Aelius stood back away from me. My dad leaving a last kiss on my cheek.

“I love you Dean I’ll be back soon okay. Stay with your Alpha’s understand!” He stated.

“I love you too dad. I understand.” I said weakly.

They stepped away from the door space. In an instant the door had been kicked. Breaking its hinges clean off as it splintered into pieces. A mess of brown hair and bared fangs searched the room. His eyes landed on Aelius knowing he wasn’t part of the pack, in a room with his hurt Beta. I studied Dylan as he heaved spit flying out his barred fangs. Blue lightning jolted and danced on his pale skin. His feet had a layer of lightning moving up and down them. Arcs between his legs and armpits. He wasn’t wearing any shoes and only wore his black waist armor. His muscular frame was dripping sweat from intense movement. He growled aggressively at the two Alpha’s in the room.

I whined loudly feeling any emotional block I had to hold myself together crumble. I began to cry. His green eyes looked at me concerned. He whined loudly and in an instant flash. He moved himself blocking me from my father and Aelius. He roared with such ferocity it was frightening to hear. His animalistic instincts on full alert. All higher thoughts of differentiating friend and foe were gone. He was primal. An Alpha ready to defend his hurting Beta in the same space.

“Take care of him I’ll be back soon.” My father said calmly. In a Wave they had vanished into stars and red and orange light.

He sniffed for a split second. He tuned towards me. A loud whine escaped his throat. The lighting stopped and he wrapped his Muscular arms around me and began to sob. I whined and cried loudly. I wrapped myself around his massive frame and held him for dear life. I crumbled and fell apart. Frightened by what had happened to me. He didn’t speak only whined loudly into my neck as he sobbed loudly. I felt his tears on my neck. My hands roamed his muscular and tense back. we sobbed together for several minutes not saying a word. he continued to whine and sob loudly. I felt another emotional tune coming from a second source. I whined loudly knowing either Kolby or Marky would be coming soon as well. Dylan wrapped himself even tighter from my whine.

After a few more minutes we still didn’t stop crying together. It felt as if our emotions were running a feedback loop on each other. I’d whine feeling my other mate and begin to cry. He’d whine and cry because I did and he felt my intense emotions. His cry made me worried about him and I’d cry. Making him cry. It was a painful loop. A heard a faint knock behind me.

“Your highne-“ the guard was cut off

Some guards appeared to want to check in with him. Dylan immediately roared ferociously. Spit flew out his mouth and I felt his intense drooling drip down my back slightly. The guards whined frightened and scattered. He heaved aggressively against me.

After another minute of crying together I felt the ground shake and rumble. I heard footsteps echo in the hall. Dylan tensed hearing it was well. He roared and another voice roared back. A figure covered in dirt on his tan skin sprinted in. Dylan unlatched and bared his teeth at Marky. Marky was covered in mud and rocks. He bared his teeth back. They moved up to each others faces teeth bared as they growled and challenged each other. I whined crying again. Immediately both latched onto me. Surrounding me in a layer of sweat drenched and tense muscles. I held onto Marky my arms latched around his torso. Sobbing and whining again. Frankly I felt pathetic right now. I stared down a god, was tortured, burned, electrocuted, had my very soul ripped in half after an **** attempt where I was stabbed several times, all that and I had never cracked. Yet now I was reduced to a sobbing mess finding myself unable to speak only sob and whine in their arms. i suddenly felt a final emotional tune in. I knew Kolby knew now as well.

I clung to Marky and Dylan for dear life. We all sobbed and whined together. My face nuzzling his hairy upper abs. He sobbed loudly and uncontrollable. I had to help angle their faces away from each other. Their primal instincts ruled them currently. I could feel myself calming down a bit. Suddenly I could hear echos in the hall for a 3rd time. Marky and Dylan now unlatched and stared at the door growling.

In came a messy haired blonde. Darting as fast as he could through the remains of the door. Smoke rising from his muscular body. Flickers of light and fire danced on his light tan skin. He ran and before he could growl back slid on the debris slamming against the wall and landed on his back with a thud. I felt the other two become confused for a second from his fall. He stood up annoyed punching the wall like it did him dirty. His blue eyes locked with me. Whining loudly and sobbing. He sprinted and ignored the other two who growled. Unbothered and uncaring about them. Latching himself onto me. With a loud whine from my throat all three had latched onto me. Kissing, nuzzling, crying, and sobbing ugly. That was where I stayed sobbing and content. Surrounded my tall and muscular Alpha’s who sobbed uncontrollably. Unable to make words only whines and pained sobs.

(A/N Chapter was getting long. Cut the remaining part and added it to the next chapter. This chapter _ESPECIALLY _the beginning was hard to write for some reason. Trying to describe a lack of senses and over stimulation of senses is difficult. I may come back to this chapter later and edit that a bit. Took way longer than it normally would have. This chapter has been cut and re-edited a couple times where so many different ways this could go were changed. I had an original segment where Atlas and Aelius got together in this chapter because he saved Dean. A different way the heat in Dean’s arm he felt was gonna be played with from the last chapter. It just felt so lighthearted. I want there to be some gritty and dark shit happening but man do I love writing fluff apparently. Don’t worry we’ll get there more soon. Asher originally wasn’t introduced but I felt like he needed to be before we got to mid and late story arcs since he was gonna be an arc with Zagan but now I’m thinking of adding a new arc to bring him into the world. We’re somewhere between 1/3 the way through what I’ve got planned since I did the drawing board. *does not mean that what’s written is 1/3rd of what will be the length of the story I don’t have a good estimate on that front could be much longer could be much shorter than what’s written so far* Some shits been changed and moved around. A drawing board that was made right before they got to the capital :’) so yeah. Please feel free to PM me give me notes and comments. Maybe things I could consider changing or if there’s some stuff I should relook at. Want more sex scenes? Feel like I’ve been neglecting that lol. Sorry for the rant I’m tired, and I know this isn’t wattpad as always thank you for reading and see you soon!)
