Chapter Seven
Olivia
I get up later out of the hammock, looking around at everyone. After us finding out that Chase is my master builder. We all just stayed outside to lay around in the sun. I always wanted to meet the person who built all of my stuff. My furniture always smelled so good. Now I know why.
“Alpha we have the trespasser from yesterday. We have him in one of the cages.” Miranda links me as I’m looking at Morgan kick a soccer ball to Brandon. I get up and move towards my mom. I stop at her shoulder and lean down.
“Mom I have to go deal with some stuff. Can you keep them occupied?” I whisper into her ear. Instead of answering me she nods, continuing to watch them play soccer. I nod taking off towards the fence on the side and jumping over it. I run for a good thirty minutes before hitting the “jail”. Sophie is standing outside and waves me inside as I walk up. I nod at her as I walk into the building.
I step into the grungiest looking room. There are cobwebs everywhere and a single chair in the middle of the cages we have set up. It’s a total of six cages in a circle with enough room in between to walk through, without being touched by whoever is in the cages. We also have a dungeon with a lot more cages but usually we only have to use these. I step into the middle and look into the only cage with someone in it. He is about 6’3 with dark brown hair, spiked everywhere. His eyes are a bright silver with a cold menace coming off of them. He is wearing only a pair of cargo shorts with no shoes. His shirt is balled up in the corner like a pillow. He has muscle but he isn’t too bulky like Morgan and not too lean like Chase. He has just the right amount.
“My name is Alpha Shade. What do you want?” I ask bluntly as I take a seat in front of him. My wolf wakes up to look at him but doesn’t say anything. His eyes looking over me wondering if he should say anything. His eyes travel down over my, Bullet for my Valentine, shirt. Then look down over my cut jean shorts. He finally looks into my blazing gold eyes and stops breathing almost. He turns suddenly and paces inside of his cage. He cuts his eyes back to me as he comes up to the bars of the cage. His fingers curling around the bars as he stares at me.
“My name is Jason. But the reason I came here was a message from the Alpha of the rogues. He wants you to know he is coming for you. But with how I was thrown in here. I think you already know.” He says grumpily. His voice deeper than Morgan’s bear. My heart rate spikes up as I listen to him. This guy is a part of the rogues? But…. never mind. It doesn’t matter. I nod my head some as I stand up and get right in front of him.
“I’ve known he was coming for me since my mates showed up needing my help. Mind link him and tell him if he steps foot in my territory it will be a bloodbath. It’s been a minute since we all have had a good fight.” I say in an even tone just staring at him. His eyes look like molten silver when I mention my mates. I go to step back away from him and he grabs my arm through the bars.
“What do you mean mates? I thought you were my mate. Which is why I broke my bond to the rogues when you walked in here. You smell like my mate. You taste like my mate.” He says before running his tongue down over my wrist. My wolf finally speaks up even though I know what she is going to say.
“He is our mate. He is the last of our mates. He is going to have to get along with everyone because they all belong to us.”
“You are our mate. But I also have five other mates. You will respect them all. If you cannot do that. Then you will have to leave.” I say firmly as I look into his eyes. Already not wanting him to go. My wolf nearly starts pitching a fit even thinking about him leaving, greedy bitch. He thinks it over as he traces gentle patterns over my palm and over my wrist. He lets my arm go and nods once.
“Yes ma’am. I will do everything in my power to get along with everyone. I hope it’s not a problem that I am a polar bear… I don’t know if your other mates are anything but wolf….” He says softly trying not to be embarrassed by what he is.
“How old are you?” I ask gently.
“I am about two weeks from being twenty. You?” He answers looking into my eyes.
“Twenty-two. I am one of the youngest Alphas in the world. The other is my sister who is only nineteen. But she just got her own pack at eighteen. She lives in Wyoming. My three youngest sisters are still down in Florida. They just turned eighteen but have to graduate high school. My brothers are twenty eight. They all live up in Montana.” I ramble slightly as I look down over his torso seeing all of the scars that I missed earlier. He has a long jagged scar going over his right shoulder, down to his belly button. That had to hurt like hell.
I go to the wall and grab the key to the cell. I wonder how he got all of those. I walk back over to him and unlock the cage. I step back as he comes out. He leaves his shirt sitting in the corner stepping closer to me. I turn and head back out of the jail. Sophie looks at me with wide eyes as she sees him following me. She doesn’t say anything as I turn to run back to my house. She falls in line beside me with him on my other side. We blur through the trees until we come up to the fence. I jump high over the ten foot wood structure. Sophie and Jason following with no problem. I turn to Sophie and mind link her.
“Keep an eye out for any other intruders. Take them automatically to the jail. When this shit gets started it’s going to be bloody. I think we have another week, maybe, before they get here.”
Sophie doesn’t reply as she nods and jumps back over the wall, heading to find Miranda. The only reason they aren’t here yet is that my woods are full of booby traps. Everyone looks up to stare as they see me standing there with another man. Morgan sniffs the air growling lowly. He moves swiftly and pins Jason against the wall. Everyone running to grab him and pull him away.
“What the fuck Morgan? What are you doing?” I say grumpily. My hands moving to help Jason up from the ground where he fell.
“Who the fuck is that? Why is he here? He is a goddamn polar bear. My bear doesn’t like it.” He growls lowly again and Snow pushes him back towards the house.
“You go inside until you can act civilized around other people.” Snow says treating him like a naughty toddler. Morgan storms off into the house and slams the door. My mom and dad watching us like we are a soap opera. They never left their chairs and they are fucking eating popcorn. Where the fuck did that come from?
Brandon, Chase, and Zeldin come up and sniff Jason. They all cock their heads to the side, staring at him intently. I think they like him. Snow locks eyes with Jason in a show of dominance. Jason lasts for about a minute then looks down. All Snow does is nod and turns to go back to his beer. Well that was way easier than I thought it would be. I shake my head and leave Jason to fend for himself with the others. I sit by my mom and pick up a beer. I hate drinking beer but this one drink won’t hurt. Snow sits by me and pulls me into his arms. I rest my head against his shoulder staring at Jason as he joins the guys in a game of soccer. You can tell he is trying to not just walk over to us and ignore the others. He isn’t very social but with this motley crew... He is going to have to get used to it.
“I’m so glad we visited. Oh your sisters called earlier and said congratulations. They look forward to meeting them all. Your brothers said they will come down tomorrow. I couldn’t talk them out of it.” My mom says as she finishes off a glass of wine.
Of course Bryant, Grant, Ziggy and Dom want to come down. They are nosy as fuck. Mischa won’t come until her pack is more stable. The triplets Bebe, Bonbon, and Beck still have school for another two months. I love my siblings but thank god they aren’t all here yet. Something always gets destroyed. That’s what happened to my last weapons case and the reason I had to remodel half of my house.
“Why are those four coming down? They better not break my stuff again.” I grumble out as my eyes catch Jason trying not to shift in the backyard. I fly out of my chair and head to the guys.
“What the hell happened?” I say as I come up.
“Nothing he just started having pain and doubled over. Will he be alri
ght?”Chase hastily says as he back up towards Snow, away from Jason.
“Damn it I thought he was full grown. He is only nineteen. I thought he went through the last growth spurt.” I say as I watch him growl loudly, changing fast into a polar bear. When he is done he stands up on his hind legs. He tops out at almost ten feet tall. His fur white as snow showing off his muscular body. He roars loudly and moves down onto all fours. He looks at all the guys and rumbles pacing back and forth, agitatedly.
I huff out a breath and walk up until I am a few feet away from him. My dominance pouring out of my body moving towards him. He stops and glares at me. I look into his eyes, not looking away for anything. He takes a step towards me and the guys growl at him. He doesn’t stop until he is right in front of me, only a few inches separating us. I can feel his warm breathing across my faces as he sniffs at me.
“Damn it Jason shift back. You are acting like a dick.” I say trying not to laugh. My fingers wanting to play in his white fur. He huffs out a breath and changes back swiftly. He now stands at 6’7 and just as many muscles as Morgan. Well fuck a duck. Morgan won’t like this at all. Holy hell his dick is… wow. I look away before I end up blushing. He shrugs as Chase throws clothes at him. He slips on a pair of sweats, looks at the shirt and leaves it off. I guess he didn’t like it. I sigh and turn back to my parents. I shrug at them as they hide their laughter.
“Guys it will be dinner soon and I want Mexican food.” I say to them without turning around. I head inside the house going straight to the fridge to look inside. Who the fuck went shopping? My fridge is full of food and so is my pantry. It hasn’t been completely full since my mom and dad moved. I guess Zeldin went shopping. I grab all the ingredients to make tacos. I turn to the stove and start heating up a pan. I put the pork and ground beef in the same pan, loving how it sizzles. As it begins to cook I turn and begin to cut the tomatoes for salsa.
While I’m cooking, I hear someone come up behind me. I sniff smelling chocolate and pine. I love how Morgan smells. He wraps his arms around my middle and hugs up to my back.
“I’m sorry love. I don’t know why my bear got in a tizzy.” He whispers right against my earlobe. I shiver slightly as I lean back into him.
“It’s ok honey pot. I kind of understand where it came from. It was just the six of us for only a couple of days then boom. Now there is seven of us. I roll with the punches but even I know that we have had a shit ton of stuff happen very quickly. But I also know everything is happening as it’s supposed to. I fully believe in fate and karma.” I finish up the meat as I talk to him and take it off the heat.
I turn the stove off and turn in his arms. I stand up on my tip toes and kiss his delicious, full lips. He smiles as he helps me put all of the food on the bar for people to grab. We are just sitting the last bowl on the bar when everyone walks in. Zeldin narrows his eyes and looks at me then at the food.
“I would have cooked. You didn’t have to.” He grouches out. I guess he doesn’t like others in the kitchen.
“I like cooking, thank you very much. My mom and grandma taught me how. So deal with it.” I say looking right into his eyes with a glare. There may be more of them but I’m entirely too stubborn. Zeldin widens his eyes and steps back some.
“Yes ma’am.” He nods quickly and pulls Snow in front of him. Snow shakes his head and goes to make his and my plate. Everyone after that grabs what they want and Jason waits till last to grab a plate. I’ve made enough food to feed a small army. He piles two plates full of food and moves to find a spot at the table. When he sits down, I sit down. Snow sits my plate in front of me and Morgan sits my dessert down too. I’m going to get fat at this rate. But I smile and dig in to all of my food. Everyone eats quietly groaning at how the food tastes. Jason finishes his food first and sits back patting his stomach.
“That was fucking amazing.” He says almost sleepily. He passes out right there at the table only a few seconds later and I laugh softly as he snores. Morgan shakes his head and gets up moving towards him. He lifts him up and carries him upstairs to the last room that’s available. When he comes back downstairs he shrugs.
“He is out like a light. He probably will sleep for a long time. That last growth spurt takes a lot out of bears. It’s almost like we want to hibernate. I slept for three days when mine was over.” He says as he helps the guys clean off the table. My parents and I move into the living room while they work.
“I think I like all of your mates. Even the new guy. They were all polite and understood that you are Alpha. I’m actually surprised that they seem to agree with whatever you want. They all have dominant personalities. Even Chase although I don’t think he has realized it yet.” My dad says in his low voice. My mom patting his arm, like he is a puppy she is proud of. I just smile as all the guys are laughing and picking at each other. My guys get along pretty good. I just hope they have the same relationship with Jason eventually.
Chapter Eight
Olivia
I wake up laying on my back in the middle of my bed. None of the guys are in here with me. It’s been about six days since Jason got here. We have been training nonstop. Jason and I have been training separately from everyone else. Don’t get me wrong, I know he is my mate by how my body lights up when he looks at me.
But the trust isn’t fully there yet. My parents left that next day saying they couldn’t leave my sisters alone for an extended period of time. My brothers got in that same day. We actually all met up at the airport. They were coming and our parents where going. We had like a weird dogpile thing happen but that’s what happens in my family. I am actually going to take a break today and spend some time with them. I haven’t seen them as much as I’ve wanted, while they have been here so far. I get up and throw some jeans and a T-shirt on. I put my hair up in a ponytail before heading downstairs. Jason is sitting in the living room playing Super Mario on the Wii that he got to buy. He almost cried when he realized he could get it. I hate to say it but I think that he hasn’t been allowed to be an actual kid or have what most kids have. It must not have been easy working inside of the rogues. I know for a fact it was a life full of violence. We haven’t bonded yet but I’m letting him come to terms with everything still.
“Hey Jason. Where is everyone at?” I ask as I sit down beside him. He looks at me and grins seeing the Yoda on my shirt.
“They all said they would be back in a minute. Your brothers called and said they would be here in thirty minutes. They said they had just woke up and had to get dressed.” He says with a blush when he has to tear his gaze away from my breasts.
I just bite my lip to hide a smile. I lean against his side and watch him play for a minute. I can hear his heart beating so fast. I guess he is either nervous or horny as hell. If I’m being honest so am I. My libido has blasted wide open since they have all gotten here. Their bodies big, muscular and usually glistening with sweat.
He wins level six before turning the game off. He shocks me by grabbing my around my hips, dragging me to sit in his lap. He claims my lips in a hard, feral kiss. I growl as I kiss him just as hard. My body beginning to heat up from the inside out. Before we can go further a knock at the front door interrupts us. I growl as I climb off of his lap, knowing who the hell is on the other side.
I open the door and glare at my brothers. All four are damn near identical in appearance except for their hair and shades of their eyes. They all stand at six foot six and have jeans with different color flannel shirts on.
Bryant has piercing blue eyes and short black hair. His nose just like mine, kind of cute and button like. He is the computer guy of the family. He also set up all of my security around here. He may have also painted most of my house. Then I look at Grant and his icy blue eyes glare at me because I won’t let them inside yet. His curly black hair going in every direction. I try not to mess with him too much because you never know how he will react.
Ziggy looks at me through his blue and green eyes with a scowl planted over his seri
ous face. His spiked hair sticking straight up with too much hair product. I stick my tongue out at him before looking at Dom. Dom’s ocean blue eyes hide laughter and fun behind them. His long black hair in a braid down his back as he walks up to me, grabbing me up in a bear hug.
“God sis I have missed you so much. I know for the last five days we have pretty much been sleeping in over at the house down the street. But it’s time you tell us what the hell is going on.” Dom says jokingly. My other brothers nodding in agreement.
I step back and let them come in to the house, hoping that Jason’s boner has gone down. They all just slip their shoes off before heading to the living room. I look at my mates that have been standing behind my brothers the whole time.
“They are so annoying but I love them.” I say shrugging at Snow. We all turn and follow the sounds of my brothers questioning Jason. I close my eyes and ask the goddess to give me strength to not murder my family. I run into the living room and growl softly. They are caging Jason in and pressing close to his body with barely contained hostility. He is biting his lip to try and control his own anger. I know his bear is probably throwing a fit right now, wanting to claw my brothers faces off.
“Guys leave my mate alone. We have talked about everything multiple times. He just became full grown a few days ago so fucking stop.” I say with a snarl.
My brothers look at me and glare, even Dom. Their wolves peaking out to growl at me.
