Trial

Waking up from a happy dream surrounded by my muscular Alpha’s was the dream. A fantasy come true. I looked at the three sleeping males remembering how much I wanted them. Remembering my time with Cole and on the road to the mountains. How far I’d come as person already. I felt determined as my sleeping three smiled in their own dreams. Knowing I’d save the fourth and final Alpha that was supposed to be here. His red hair should be in this bed with us. I saw the sun had already risen knowing we were getting a late start on the day. I looked up at the beautiful sleeping blonde. I began to kiss and nuzzle his neck and collar bone. Waking him up. I began to do the same with Marky and Dylan. We had a reality to return to. They kissed and nuzzled me good morning. Happy and content with their sleep.

“We have a trial to do today.” Kolby reminded everyone.

We all nodded and threw on our royal attire. The waste armor. I saw that our crowns were still on the couch and I placed mine on and did the same with my Alpha’s. We walked out in a triangle formation with me in the center. It was fun to imagine them as my bodyguards yet it was already the truth in every sense of the word. The guards saluted us as we walked by and we headed to the throne room.

“Go to Beta Castle and have the white throne brought in here immediately.” Dylan ordered a couple guards.

They nodded bowing and left through the side door.

“Beta castle now is stationed with as many Guards as this one. Rex and Maximus issued a protest but we told them to fuck off.” Kolby said softly looking at me.

“Is that fine? It’s your castle after all.” Marky asked softly.

I nodded it made sense after the attack. I studied the throne room. Large rows and pews were arranged in 15 rows of 3. Two black marble tables sat towards the front with black marble chairs behind them. A large barrier of black marble roughy waist high separating the tables from the pews. Suddenly Kolby’s hand rested on my back softly.

“Here sit in one of our thrones until your arrives.” Kolby said.

He sat me down and stood next to me with his hand on my shoulder. A couple guards seemed to approve of their behavior with me. Nodding with each other and smiling. I was a tad confused for a moment why they would care about a pleasant exchange. They must have sensed my confusion.

“Given todays trial here is a reminder of Alpha culture as well as normal behavior. The majority of us hate mistreatment of beta’s. they’ve been having to deal with this prisoner on rotations. The report we received yesterday was talking about how many guards and citizens were upset that this prisoner still lived. It’s probably just nice to see that standard still reflected even among the royals.” Dylan whispered into my ear.

I nodded understanding.

After a few minutes the guards returned with the white throne. Dylan and Marky moved theirs over and placed it towards the center. All four thrones were lined up now. Kolby picked me up gently and placed me onto my throne. Leaving a kiss on my cheek before sitting next to me in his. We all sat down now.

“Being in the prisoner let’s start this trial.” Kolby said loudly.

The doors were opened and a massive crowd of people flooded in. Quietly in our presence. They stared awe struck and slightly nervous as they flooded in. Lots of Beta’s as well a few with small bumps on their stomachs with two or three alpha’s around them as well. It must have taken a lot for these alphas to take their Beta’s with them. Especially if they were pregnant.

“They want Justice more than anyone. Lots of Alpha’s came with their beta’s pregnant or not to make a point.” Marky whispered softly next to me.

The guards all bowed and four moved outside the main doors. Returning a few minutes later with a man in chains. A tall male next to him and another two who walked in behind them. The crowd of Alpha’s growled loudly seeing this man. Hostility present in their eyes. Several gently grasped their Beta’s stomachs and arms in defence.

“Alright prosecution you may begin.” Marky said loudly.

“Your Royal Highnesses. It’s an honor to stand before you four today to present the reason for Taro’s guilt. We have a horrific case of **** that has occurred and the crowed behind us is here to show their support for his ****. Taro is an unmated Alpha. He claims that he has a bond with a beta that the beta did not return. When the beta who was out in public denied this mr taro snapped and killed him on the spot in cold blood.” The prosecution stated.

Several whines could be heard in anger from the crowed. Marky reached his arm over and held it softly. They were troubled at the idea.

“Defense.” Dylan stated with a growl.

“Your highnesses. While taro has admitted to this crime he says it’s the gods fault for not properly giving him a beta who would love him. I dare say crimes of passion are understandable, all of us Alpha’s know how emotional we are when it concerns our Beta’s.” He stated.

I raised an eyebrow.

“You’d blame the gods for this crime?” I asked confused.

The man named Taro growled at my voice. Kolby’s arm suddenly latched onto mine and my Alpha’s began to growl back until he whimpered in fear. The crowed fell silent from my Alpha’s sudden aggression. As understandable as it was.

“Yes your highness. We would.” He said sternly. Looking pointedly at Taro.

I nodded. That was a stupid defense. I wondered if I could call my father to see. Would that be a dumb reason to call him though. Probably he’s a god. Guess I could bribe him with hanging out with him though, he said he was gonna yesterday or today.

“We could ask you know who.” I said softly to my Alpha’s they nodded agreeing.

“Your highnesses as you can clearly see Taro is just violent and cruel to beta’s he even growled at the Royal Beta for speaking, a crime in its own right. This trial is unnecessary. It’s more since it’s such a horrid thing to do that it warranted being on your radar. We would never trouble you four if it wasn’t such a horrible thing to do. I ask we skip this show and just execute.” The prosecution stated.

My Alpha’s were already in sound mind for this as well. Aggression towards me already putting them on kill. I rubbed their arms gently.

“Defense?” I asked softly.

“Your highness taro is unwell mentally and as I stated it’s the gods fault for this. I ask for leniency, not execution but prison time. Taro was deeply affected by the lunar eclipse and raining stars. The gods clearly acknowledged their wrongdoing and did that for him. We truly believe this.” He stated.

Well that was a lie. Not many people may know the gods appear as people when they come down. What could be a wave of their hand they didn’t know was them enacting their power. In some ways making the public aware of my god lineage had some perks. It strengthened our positions but would also bolster our military positions as truly chosen by the gods to be here. It wasn’t something needed but given a god was hunting me, the assassins attempt on my life. It may boost people who wish to fight under our name.

“That’s a lie. We know why the god and specifically why the moon god acted that way over the course of those near two weeks. The other gods were reacting to help him.” Dylan growled annoyed.

“Your highness. I understand as the royals and the powers you were given they may speak to you. They would never admit to any fault of their own however, unless the gods can come down and say they didn’t do this for Taro in a way we can all hear I dare say we’d never know. We may use this as evidence if we truly believe it to be so.” The defense stated.

“The same could be said for the prosecution as well. That the gods were angered by his actions. Again they do not care for this. They were taking actions on earth for a very specific reason!” Kolby growled getting angry.

“I’d suggest you move away from this point. Unless you want to anger them further.” I warned him.

I mean they didn’t know we knew this was a lie. Still it was frustrating to hear this.

“Good Beta’s shouldn’t speak.” Taro growled at the floor.

Kolby, Dylan, and Marky growled back until he stopped. Several Alpha’s were growling as well. Matching my mates.

“We will never know truly. I truly believe the moon god was there that night and whitenessed his and his brothers mistake they used their powers to disagree with Taro’s imprisonment. The night the moon turned red is the same day he was taken into custody.” The defense stated.

“If I go limp you’ll know why.” I said quietly to my mates. They nodded understanding.

Maybe calling my father would be good. I closed them for a moment. Asher could enter his fathers domain and my dad said I could do it as well. I pictured myself entering the domain. Maybe I could just ask for his opinion on the matter. I pictured the moons above me until what was imaginary became reality.

“Dean?” My father asked suddenly.

I looked over and saw him sitting atop the water. He smiled warmly and stood up throwing his arms around me. I hugged him back warmly.

“Hey freeze time for a moment in your domain if you could please.” I asked him.

He nodded confused but doing so with the wave of a hand.

“Hey sorry to bug you.” I said softly.

“You never bug me baby boy.” He said chuckling.

“I was actually just thinking of coming down to see you for a bit.” He stated still hugging me.

“Could I get your opinion on something?” I asked.

He nodded listening.

“We’re doing a **** trial right now. An Alpha killed a Beta and the defense is saying it’s your guys fault as gods for not giving him a beta that would obey him. He’s also trying to say the night you had a lunar eclipse and made the stars fall lined up with his clients imprisonment.” I stated.

He growled annoyed.

“Yeah that’s not true I did that to find you on earth.” He said annoyed.

“Yeah we know we told him this was a lie but the knowledge of me being your son isn’t exactly a known fact. So I was thinking. Would it be wise to tell everyone that I am? I mean I see perks to everyone knowing but I also wanted your opinion on the matter. As well as to give you the option to say this is false in the public trial if you wished.” I said softly.

“Hmmm not just here to say hi to your old man huh?” He said chuckling.

“Well you know I always wanna see you. I figured I’d ask though. I knew you would be coming today anyway.” I said chucking.

“I’m just teasing. Yeah originally it was supposed to be a secret to keep Zagan in the dark. However since he knows you and knows your location. I could see some benefits to people knowing now. However….I’ll need to talk to your uncles real quick. If we’re gonna reveal our hand….especially with you. Maybe they would agree now is the opportunity to do so with them as well.” He said in thought.

“Okay so going public with this information then?” I stated understanding.

He nodded agreeing as well.

“Go back I’ll join in a few moments and claim you publicly…..this is gonna be fun. Time to shock the crowd and even you.” He stated kissing my cheek.

I nodded and with the wave of his hand I opened my eyes. The three looked at me. Tingles of anxiety in their chest at my sleeping form.

“Oh good it’s only been a minute since you slumped over.” Kolby sighed.

“Dads coming to speak.” I told them. I was confused by what he meant at that last part. Shock me?

They nodded their heads smirking.

The prosecution and defense argued for a few more minutes.

“As we’ve stated it’s the gods fault for this.” The defense began to state.

Suddenly a flash of stars moved through the windows. Dancing in circles and moving rapidly. A mass of stars formed in the center and my father Atlas moved slowly down, levitating until he touched the marble floor.

“Is what our fault?” He asked annoyed. His smooth deep voice echoing across the hall. The stars danced and moved above us. He turned the room into a dark hall with the two moons glowing above us is a wave of clouds. The room was darkened by the white and blue hues. The sun now dark around us I looked behind me and saw he’d ushered in an eclipse. Aelius must be near than as well.

Right on cue a golden ray of light darted down beside my father. A massive muscular frame with a head of golden hair stood beside him. I now realized they were closer to 10ft tall after seeing Asher. I watched as the suns rays above us moved behind the hues of white and blue and the moons aligned with it. Making an eclipse above us all.

“Yes I’m curious as well.” Aelius stated.

“Damn they know how to make an entrance.” Kolby smirked.

The crowed gasped and dropped to their knees. Worshiping the two gods before them. Taro fell backwards stunned.

My father looked at the defense man and growled. “Speak.” He ordered.

The man fell back as well stuttering and gasping in fear.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” He cried.

“It seems you believe that the nights I ushered in the red moon and falling stars was for this man’s benefit. This is a lie. I ushered in the events that night to hunt my brother Zagan. Who attacked my son and ripped his soul from his body. Hiding it from me and torturing him. He has created what you mortals know to be as Burrowers. He his malignant and dark.” Atlas spoke loudly. The room gasped at this knowledge.

“Luckily my brother Aelius here was alerted to my sons location where he’d been taken in a soul domain where you all go when you die. Saving my son and returning him to me.” Atlas spoke again.

“Who is your son Atlas. Who is the son of the moon god himself. Who is this Demigod you would usher in an apocalypse for with our help.” Aelius asked.

“Would my son stand up and stand next to me.” My father asked.

The room was silent looking for any movement. I stood and several people gasped. I walked forward and stood next to my father. He smiled down at me roughly 4 feet taller than me. He leaned his massive frame down and kissed my forehead. Everyone watched stunned and awed.

“This is my son Dean Somber. Your Royal Beta. My most cherished creation I’ve ever had a hand in making. He looks just like me if you can clearly tell. As a matter of fact if we’re revealing our hands right now what do you have to say brothers?” Atlas asked.

Suddenly two more gods dropped down. Ajax in a mound of stone his black hair dusty as he shook his shoulder of the dirt. With a clap of lightning and thunder a brunette dropped down as well. Lighting cascading thickly around him. They turned around and looked at my Alpha’s.

“When we say your name come stand next to us.” Aelius stated. I looked confused where this was going.

“Kolby.” Aelius stated. Looking at the blonde. Kolby did as asked and stood next to Aelius. He looked at me confused. My dad chuckled.

“Marky.” Ajax growled out. My black haired mate looked confused as well but obliged.

“Dylan.” Esen stated smirking as the fellow brunette stood next to him.

All three looked at me confused. I shrugged my shoulders equally unsure.

“Dad?” I asked him. He looked down at me and smirked.

“Kolby is my son, a Demigod born of the sun and fire.” Aelius stated.

“Marky is my son, a Demigod of earth and stone.” Ajax stated.

“Dylan is my son, a Demigod of lightning and sky.” Esen stated.

They looked at me shocked. I stared back equally surprised. All four of us were demigods? I looked at my father confused. He chuckled loudly.

“Told you you’d be surprised.” He said softly.

“These are your Royal Alpha’s this is your Royal Beta. They are each claimed sons of ours. Born of the gods themselves. This is our plan for the world to lead you out of the darkness Zagan has created. A pack of our sons to lead you all through the darkest time in history. Go forth and spread the word. Your Demigod leaders rule the last kingdom of earth.” Esen stated.

I looked at them shocked. I could feel my mates deep bewilderment from this realization. They were themselves Demigods as well. I realized how similar they looked to their fathers as well. Dylan was pale with green eyes, Esen was pale with green eyes. Ajax was tan and broad with black hair, Marky was tan, broad, and had black hair. Kolby and Aelius were charming. The only difference was the eyes. Kolby’s were blue and Aelius was yellow and orange.

“Well. Now with that out of the way. I believe they still have a trial to take care of. We’ll join you four in the bath you clearly need after your done. We’ll get a head start.” Aelius stated. Motioning for the other 3 to follow him. My father kissed my head once before turning and following them out.

We stood shocked together. Soon a snap back to reality happened and within a clearing of his throat Marky spoke.

“Back to the chairs. Let’s finish this, there’s time to ask questions when we’re done.” He stated to us.

We all nodded and sat down. We paused the trail for a couple minutes to gather ourselves. Everyone watched us awed.

“I wish for trial by combat!” Taro stated loudly.

We all looked at him confused. We were deeply shocked right now with the declaration that all of us were demigods. I blinked at him.

“What?” I asked confused.

“I want trial by combat! I’m allowed that right!” He snarled.

Him snarling at me brought my mates back to reality in a moment. Growling aggressively at him.

“Fine. Who do you wish to fight.” Dylan said annoyed.

“Dean Somber!” He snarled with glee.

I stared confused. My mates aggression shot through the roof now. They didn’t growl, didn’t speak. Dylan stood up walking down the steps slowly. He stood before Taro.

In an Instant he slammed his fist through Taro’s chest. His hand coming clean out the other side. The man whimpered and grew limp dangling from his arm. Dylan simply threw him down to the floor without spearing a look.

“We’re done here. Everyone leave now were not entertaining this anymore.” He ordered.

Everyone stared shocked. Nodding their heads and leaving with murmurs in the crowd. The guards nodded approvingly at his action and dragged the body out. I stood as well. My mates were in a dazed state of confusion. I stopped them.

“Hey do you guys wanna talk privately for a few minutes in the den?” I asked them.

They looked at me still shocked and confused. Nodding their heads. I walked with them to the den and closed the door behind us. I sat them down on the bed and removed our crowns. Taking a dirty pair of shorts I had and cleaned Dylan’s hand and arm.

“Are you guys okay?” I asked them softly.

They nodded still in a state of shock. I kissed their cheeks trying to comfort them.

“Want me to go get my dad to explain this before you see your dads?” I asked softly.

The idea of me leaving snapped their daze for a moment.

“No…..can’t go by yourself.” Kolby said softly.

I nodded and sat with them. Allowing their minds to process this information. I knew it was a shock when I found out but I was in a life and **** situation and had to keep moving. It made me angry if anything. I wondered how they would react once the shock had settled.

Kolby suddenly summoned fire into his fist. Looking at it confused.

“I mean…..like…..we have powers like Dean…..I guess…..I just didn’t think….” He said softly.

Dylan and Marky followed suit. A hunk of stone broke apart and floated above Marky’s hand and Dylan had lighting chirp between his fingers.

“Yeah…..that’s true.” Marky stated.

“None of us grew up knowing our parents….like…..orphans.” Dylan said in thought.

I sensed sadness creep inside them. I began to kiss and nuzzle them as much as I could but all three right now was hard.

“We should go talk to them about that.” I said softly.

They nodded their heads standing up. I walked over to the drawer and grabbed four pairs of shorts. 3 for them that were much bigger than mine. As well as four towels we headed down a hallway and towards the bath where they said they’d be waiting. We walked in and four heads turned towards us in the water.

“There they are.” Atlas said smiling.

I smiled curtly and nodded at my three Alpha’s. He nodded understanding. Whispering something to the other three who nodded as well. We walked to the other side of the water pool and they stripped down. I kept my underwear on knowing my mates wouldn’t want me naked with others Alpha’s in the room. I set all the clothes on the side and saw my three mates sit close together. Shoulders touching. I made a move to sit on the outside but Kolby reached over and grabbed me. Pulling me down onto Dylan’s lap who was in the middle. I felt this hands grab my legs as Dylan wrapped his arms tightly around me. Fathers or not their senses still didn’t like me not close to them all with other Alpha’s in the room.

We sat for a couple minutes in silence. It was extremely awkward. I locked eyes with my dad who chuckled awkwardly. I summoned a water bubble and began to clean my mates necks and shoulders. I sensed their comfort at my actions.

“Well. Let’s just state the obvious here that this is a shock for us and especially them.” I said softly to everyone.

Everyone nodded their heads understanding.

“We’re your sons?” Kolby asked softly.

“Yes Kolby.” Aelius stated to his matching blonde son.

“Okay….” Kolby said softly.

“So why did you have us?” Marky asked growling softly.

“Well the plan was that us four would have Alpha sons and we’d bind them to a single Beta. However Dean winded up being a Beta and Atlas here refused to make him an Alpha. So we bonded you three to him.” Ajax told his son.

“Yeah you know he meant why?” Dylan said sternly.

“Well. All our other plans to defeat Zagan failed. We had all of you in secret so he’d never know we had any of you. Hence why I made Kolby’s eyes blue. Which by the way.” Aelius stated snapping his fingers.

I looked over at Kolby and saw his blue eyes turned yellow and orange. He truly looked like Aelius now. Esen, Atlas, and Ajax snapped their fingers as well. I looked at Marky’s eyes and saw the dark brown develop a green hue that mingled around the brown, and Dylan’s whose green eyes had some grey mingle in the green. They looked at my eyes.

“What do you see?” I asked.

“White mingling with the blue.” Dylan said softly.

I looked at them.

“Why the secrecy?” I asked confused.

“Well Dean…we don’t have the drive Atlas did to be fathers. Sorry boys but it’s true. Dean got lucky with that in a way. The plan was you four would fight Zagan and his army. Atlas being around you made him aware of your existence. We didn’t do this with these three. Hence he didn’t know of their existence as demigods. Until today now most likely. There’s a reason you are all so powerful truly the signs were all there.” Aelius stated.

My mates nodded their heads.

“Zagan is always trying to kill Dean he will try to kill you three as well but it won’t be more than he already has tried. See Dean here has Atlas’s powers the only true powers he’s weak to. You three won’t have the ability to harm him. However to lead an army against him you will. Our claims upon you as our sons will bolster your ranks with Alpha’s that will come all over the country to fight in your name’s now as well. Fighting for the gods is a guarantee for a good afterlife for the pack. We trust this revelation won’t shy you away from fighting Zagan. After all he is trying to kill your Beta above all else.” Esen stated.

My mates suddenly became serious. This discussion knocking them out of their shock. They nodded agreeing.

“Good. Starting tonight we will take your souls to our domains as you sleep. After the issue with Dean and him accidentally venturing to Zagan’s domain before we will be ensuring this won’t happen again. Marky you will train with Ajax, Dylan you with Esen, Kolby you with me. Dean your father will be taking you as well. We will train you four in all your abilities so you may fight properly as what you are. Sons of the gods.” Aelius stated.

We all nodded understanding. My mates were very serious with this now.

“Perfect with that we will see you tonight.” He stated. With a wave the three disappeared leaving me and my mates alone with Atlas.

He moved closer to us. Our bond not triggering their anger. **** still lingered though. Given todays events.

“Is there anything I can try to answer for you guys?” My dad asked.

“I understand making a pack of demigods I guess but why not Ace?” I asked confused.

“Well Ace’s abilities are more animal and nature related. He’s not much of a fighter and he has no control with the drones. What we needed was attackers. Us four have more attack capabilities than him. So a son of his just wasn’t necessary.” He stated.

I guess that made sense. I nodded my head.

“Well I’ll leave you guys to talk and adjust with each other. I’ll see you tonight when you sleep Dean.” My father stated kissing my head.

With that he left. I looked at my three mates. Turing around to face them. Their eyes sparkled now showing their Devine genetics. I summoned a water bubble and cleaned them. Kissing and nuzzling the quiet Alpha’s. They didn’t really react to me right now.

I stopped figuring maybe they needed alone time. I moved off Dylan’s lap. Ducking my head under the hot bubbling water. I made a water bubble over my face and swam to the bottom. Laying down on my back. This pool was really deep on the center. Like 20 feet down or so. I saw their legs move and their own faces poke down under the water. I sensed an anxiety attack in their chest as they dived their heads up and down watching me. I sat up looking at them. Darting up to the surface.

“Yeah?” I asked.

“Don’t…..don’t leave us please….just….clean us…please….okay.” Kolby sighed.

I nodded and crawled back onto Dylan’s lap. Making bubble and lifting their arms to get their pits. I moved the water rapidly in underwater motions getting between their ass cheeks without using my hands. They chuckled at the sensations.

They didn’t speak just settled on watching me clean them. I cleaned their loins myself. Washing their abs and pecs with my hands. Running my hands over their thighs and legs. Using water bubbles to wash their hair off and clean their faces. Getting behind the ears especially. I swam to the other side where I saw the pheromone soap and brought it back. Starting all over again.

After 20 minutes of me making sure they were squeaky clean, the soap had done its job and they currently reeked of masculine musk. They smiled watching as I smelled them. It apparently helped them that I was in a business as usual state right now. Their emotions felt warm and comfortable as they watched me. Smiles on their tired faces from today. I took the soap and began to clean myself in Dylan’s lap. He took the soap gently from my hand.

“Let us.” He said softly.

I nodded as he wiped my chest and abs with it. Running his fingers over my body. Marky placed a hand on my back and chest motioning me to lay back where he held me up with his arm. Kolby began to wipe and wash my legs and feet. They used their hands to clean every inch of my skin with the soap. Sniffing the air of my pheromones. Kolby’s fingers loved to graze inside my ass several times. A sense of normalcy fell over us as they cleaned me. Kissing my skin softly and nuzzling me. It was the new normal for us though. We’d have to adjust.
