Lidon stood, trying to process what his uncle's words. “I…this is new to me. Why did my father break the tradition? Was he that in love with my daddy?”
He’d always remembered them as loving and affectionate, but had his memories been tainted? Had something else happened?
“He loved him for sure, I won’t deny that. But he was also stubborn as fuck and refused to take our dad seriously. Dad warned us we were the last of our kind, that we had to stick to our traditions to survive. We were the last shifters…he was the last shifter. All around us, families had lost that ability, but Dad still possessed the ability, though it became harder for him as well… He impressed upon us it was because of the traditions, because of the pack. But your father denied it. When he reached fourteen, the age our father shifted for the first time, and he didn't shift, he blamed it on nature, on evolution. It was bound to happen, he claimed, since no one else could shift anymore…”
“What happened on the day I was born?” Lidon asked, feeling like cold bands had wrapped around his heart.
His uncle’s eyes grew moist and he seemed to gaze far beyond the present. “When your daddy became pregnant, Dad said it would be an alpha heir. He had no doubt. He wanted to be present at the birth, as had been custom through the ages as well. All living alphas witnessed the birth of the next heir. But your daddy never felt accepted by the family—not entirely without reason—and he didn’t want him there, and your father backed that decision. So Dad waited outside until you were born, and I joined him. I remember feeling something rippling in the air.”
He fought for composure for a second. “My skin stood on end, and I felt lightheaded. He hadn’t shifted in years by then, claiming it had become too hard for him. Rightly so, because we all saw how it drained him to shift back. But then your daddy delivered you, and your first cry sounded…and Dad growled, like full-out alpha-wolf growled. Your dad stepped outside minutes later, holding you to show you to us, and Dad took you… He blessed you with the ancient blessing, kissing you, crying with joy. He said a true alpha had been born, the one who would protect the pack…and then he gave you to me and he shifted.”
A look of wonder transformed his face, and even the birds around them hushed as he continued. “This beautiful grey wolf stood before me, and he took my breath away, so majestic and powerful… He roared, an alpha roar unlike I’d ever heard before, and then he howled…and Lidon, you were minutes old, but you stopped crying in my arms and howled with him, this tiny baby howl that stabbed my heart, because I knew… I knew he was saying goodbye.”
He was crying now, tears streaming down his face, Aunt Sophie comforting him while Vieno crawled into Enar’s arms. “I…I bent down, and he licked you with his big tongue, and you smiled… I swear, babies that young can’t smile, but you did. You were connected for a moment, two souls merging…and then he shifted back and he passed out…and I knew. He transferred his powers to you, Lidon, because your father didn’t want them. That’s why you are so powerful.”
“How…how am I powerful?” Lidon asked, trying to take it all in.
“You’re so much like him…my dad. Looking at you is like looking at him from how I remember him. You have the same voice, the same commanding presence…the same sweetness toward your omega. And the power ripples around you. I feel it every time I enter the gates, every time I see you… You’re special. You’re the true alpha.”
“The true alpha?” Palani asked. “What does that mean?”
Uncle Leland smiled through his tears. “Rumors say you have Grayson Whitefield staying here, yes? Ask him about the legend of the true alpha.”

When Palani walked into the kitchen after a long day at the paper, he expected Vieno to be there, preparing whatever meal he had planned for that night. Instead, the kitchen and living room stood empty. Where was everyone?
Lidon hadn't returned yet from work, he knew, as he’d texted he was running late. He’d been working long hours after his uncle and aunt had come over for dinner, something about a big drug bust he wasn’t sharing much about with Palani, which he completely understood. They’d barely seen each other aside from a quick shower fuck that morning, and Palani missed it. He missed him.
They had so much to talk about, so many things Palani wanted to ask him and Grayson, but he’d have to wait. It proved to be challenging, coordinating schedules when three of them had irregular jobs.
He walked to their bedroom to change into shorts when he heard Vieno’s voice. Or rather, his moans.
He smiled as he opened the door. Vieno was riding Enar, his back toward the man, his ass sliding up and down that fat cock. Enar’s hands held his hips and the look of bliss on his face told Palani he needed only seconds to orgasm. Underneath the sexual bliss, Palani spotted the stress on the alpha’s face.
Ah. He must have had a rough day, and Vieno being the sweet little omega that he was, had tried to let him fuck the stress out. Vieno had tried hard, but it looked like Enar needed something else that Vieno couldn’t give. And as luck would have it, Palani’s day had been shitty as well, and he couldn’t imagine anything better than taking it out on Enar’s ass. God, he hoped Enar would let him, as so far that privilege had only been granted to Lidon.
They hadn’t heard him, too caught up in the lovely way Vieno pleasured himself on that cock. Enar’s eyes stayed glued to that perfect view in front of him and who could blame him? The sight of that bubble butt taking in a big cock again and again was mesmerizing and erotic as fuck. And Palani wasn’t interrupting, not until Enar had come. The man deserved his orgasm.
“Ungh!” Enar moaned. His hands tightened on Vieno’s hips as he lifted his ass up and rammed inside him with three, four deep thrusts before he groaned low and deep, his body tightening as he came.
Palani waited till Enar had caught his breath again. “Fuck, you’re so sexy when you come,” he said.
Two heads turned toward him, and he’d already stripped out of his clothes before he crawled on the bed. He kissed Enar first, a slow, wet kiss, the alpha still panting into his mouth from his release. Then he scooted over to Vieno, who sported that smile that made him so ridiculously cute.
“Hi baby,” Palani said. He found a spot between Enar’s legs, facing Vieno, so he could kiss him. What a joy it brought to no longer have to hold back in his affection for Vieno.
“And you are so damn gorgeous when you’re riding a big alpha cock. Show me how you fuck yourself, baby. Show me how beautiful you are when you come.”
Vieno lifted his head as he resumed his rhythm. Palani watched, enraptured, as he shifted his hips, finding a position that allowed him to impale himself over and over again until his cheeks flushed with desire, his eyes glazed over, and his cock wept precum. He was so beautiful like this that it took Palani’s breath away.
Vieno’s hand circled his own dick, and it only took a few tugs before he sprayed his fluids. His eyes fluttered as a long moan fell from his lips. Palani caught it, pressing their mouths together for another long kiss, wanting to drink in every little sound Vieno made in his pleasure. Finally, he dragged his mouth away.
“He needs you,” Vieno whispered.
“I know, baby. Thank you for taking care of him.”
He gave Vieno a last kiss before allowing him room to climb off Enar, who watched them with guarded eyes. God, Palani hoped he’d be granted the permission to take care of him the way Enar needed him to. He stretched out next to Enar, then held out his arm. It only took a second before Enar rolled over and came to him, burying his head against Palani’s shoulder.
“Shitty day?” he asked.
“The worst.”
“Will you allow me to take care of you?” he asked. He almost held his breath, waiting for permission, but it came fast.
“Please.”
They cuddled for a minute or two till Palani felt Enar relax in his arms. Only then did he kiss his head and roll both of them over, then positioned himself on top of the bigger man. He lo
ved exploring Enar’s body, but now wasn’t the time. He was probably nervous, seeing as how this was Palani’s first time topping him, so Palani would skip the foreplay and focus on the end goal.
He slid down Enar’s body, nudging him to open his legs so he could kneel between them. He quietly signaled Vieno, who had wrapped a sheet around him and sat at the foot end of the bed, to grab lube, which he handed over.
When he pressed his slick index finger against Enar’s hole, his eyes pinched shut. “Eyes on me, Doc,” Palani said. “You’re not hiding from me, not now.”
“It’s…it’s hard,” Enar confessed, meeting Palani’s eyes.
“I know, but there’s nothing to be ashamed of. I got you but you need to focus on me, okay? Don’t hide from me.”
He kept talking as he pushed his finger in, his eyes trained on Enar’s. Finally, the alpha allowed him in, his tight ring of muscles relaxing. “That’s it, doc. Damn, you’re tight. You’re gonna clench so fucking snug around my cock, aren’t you?” Palani said.
He added a second finger when Enar loosened up, then a third, all the while encouraging him with sexy talk. His own cock was leaking by the time Enar was ready for him.
“Pull your legs up, Doc. Yeah, like that. Vieno, baby, why don’t you melt the man with one of your kisses while I take his ass, hmm?”
Vieno crawled past him and dropped himself like a stone on Enar’s chest, making Palani grin. Seconds later, their mouths were fused together, and sucking sounds filled the room. Good. That would help the alpha relax. Palani figured Lidon achieved the same effect with sheer intimidation and alpha dominance, but since he didn’t possess that, he had to work with what he had.
Enar’s body tensed when Palani pushed the head of his cock in but then relaxed again. He took him slowly, staying shallow until he felt his hole open for him. “You ready for me, Doc? You ready for me to pound your ass? Hang on.”
He planted his knees so he’d have good grip, then surged in. He’d been right, Enar’s ass gripped him like a tight fist, hot and slick and perfect.
“Damn, you feel good, Doc… I’m gonna ravish your ass. You feel that? You feel me bottom out inside you?”
His balls slapped against Enar’s flesh, a wonderful sound Palani loved almost as much as the sloppy sound his cock made as it thrust balls-deep inside the alpha. Then there were the soft moans Enar let out, muffled by Vieno’s mouth against his…and Palani’s own grunts as he fucked him deep, every thrust precise.
His hands found grip on Enar’s legs, spreading them wider, folding them tighter, until he had the perfect position to slam in. Enar’s grunts sounded harder now, and Palani looked up to find Vieno cradling his head, no longer kissing him. The omega looked at Palani with love in his eyes, and they shared a moment, taking care of Enar.
The opening of the door interrupted their moment, but it was Lidon who stepped in, his face breaking open in a sexy smile when he spotted them. “Now that’s how I like to come home,” he said.
He kissed Vieno first, as he always did, a deference to his position as omega that never failed to make Palani’s insides go weak. He always took his time too, never satisfied with a short peck, but ensuring Vieno’s mouth was claimed.
Palani stopped thrusting to receive his own kiss. He loved how Lidon kissed, all possessive and dominant, simply taking what he wanted. What he deserved, somehow. And Palani gave freely, gladly, until he damn near ran out of breath.
He expected Lidon to come for Enar next, but he didn’t, instead shedding his clothes first. His cock was already hard when he stretched out next to them, putting his big hand on Enar’s neck and pulling his mouth toward him. “I’m damn proud of you,” he said before kissing him, too.
Palani watched as the two alphas kissed, his stomach once again doing funny things. The kiss was hot, sure, but it went beyond that. What the four of them shared, what they were starting to build, it was extraordinary. It was so much more than sex and watching Enar surrender to Lidon was the proof. He was so close to taking that final step.
Lidon broke off the kiss, then sat up and smacked Palani’s ass. “Wreck him.”
“I plan to,” Palani said, grinning.
He’d been worried for a second Lidon would tell him to pull out, that he would claim the right to fuck Enar, but he’d seemed more than happy to let Palani do the honors this time. Lidon stretched out next to Enar on his back and seconds later, Vieno all but dove on top of him, eager to get more kissing in, by the looks of it.
Palani had no trouble finding his rhythm back and let out a content moan as he sank his cock back deep inside that tight heat.
Enar’s body was on fire but in the best way possible. The muscles in his legs twitched from being in the same position for a while, his hips burned from moving against Palani’s thrusts to get him still deeper inside him, and his ass. Oh god, his ass. It throbbed and stung so deliciously that he didn’t even have words to describe it.
Having Palani take him, it was…everything. Why had he waited this long? When Lidon fucked him, he chased the release, the domination and the not having to think. It was being used and taken and not having a damn say in it. With Palani, it was pure erotic pleasure, Palani focusing on making it exquisite for Enar. He’d taken his time in prepping him and his thrusts were deep and precise, aimed at bringing them both pleasure.
It was…heaven.
And he hadn’t been weird about it, hadn’t so much as hesitated or given Enar a strange look. Vieno either. The omega had been so super sweet when Enar had come home from work, his eyes red rimmed from working for almost twenty hours straight. He’d been so fucking tired but too wound up to sleep, and Vieno had taken one good look at him and had led him into the bedroom where he’d stripped and basically lowered himself on Enar to ride him into an orgasm.
Palani’s hand wrapped around Enar’s slick cock with a delicious pressure that had him moaning. A few more jacks like that, and he’d come again. But Palani kept his movements slow, bringing Enar to the brink without sending him over.
Enar growled, then brought his own hand to his cock, where Palani swatted it away. “Hands off. I got you, Doc.”
“You need to…” Enar started, then moaned low and deep as Palani squeezed his crown hard enough to make Enar dance on the edge of his release a few seconds longer. His balls pulled up, but Palani squeezed again, the pain just enough to stave off the orgasm. Oh god. He would fucking kill him with this.
He closed his eyes, no longer able to concentrate.
“Uh uh, eyes on me, Doc. I don’t want you to forget who’s fucking you…” Palani said.
He opened them again, let out a frustrated grunt. As soon as he did, Palani’s body stilled, his cock halfway inside him and his hand still on Enar’s cock, but without any pressure. What the hell was he doing?
“Nononono,” he pleaded. “Don’t stop! You have to…”
Palani looked at him, his brown eyes calm. “I have to what? Who’s in charge here, Doc?”
Dammit. The beta had his number, didn’t he? “You are,” he admitted.
“So what did you want to tell me about what I have to do?”
“Nothing,” he said. He sighed, a strange sense of calm filling him. “Nothing at all.”
“Good.”
Palani thrust back inside with a force that slammed the air out of Enar’s lungs, at the same time putting the pressure back on his cock. Oh fuck, that was amazing.
A sound to his right made him turn his head. Vieno sent Lidon a sexy smile as he lowered himself on the alpha’s big cock, taking it in like it was nothing. His cum still lingered in there, Enar realized, and it was both erotic as fuck and deeply gratifying to know that Vieno would have both him and Lidon inside him. They shared him, like they all shared each other. For the first time, Enar felt like he did belong, like he formed an unmissable part of them.
“Doc, eyes on me,” Palani told him and Enar whipped his head back.
God, the beta was glorious when he acted l
ike this, all sassy and mouthy and bossy as fuck. He played Enar like a finely tuned instrument and damn if he didn’t love it. In the past, it had always been a bit of a struggle to surrender to Lidon, but after this, he’d willingly surrender to Palani every single time. Somehow, he knew exactly what Enar needed.
The pressure in his balls built again, and he moaned as he tried to reach for his orgasm, wanting it so desperately. But as soon as he did, Palani’s hand loosened its grip again and his release danced away from him, always close but just out of reach. When would Palani let him come, dammit?
“You’ll come when I think you’re ready and not a second earlier,” Palani told him, reading his mind, apparently. The beta’s cheeky smirk shouldn’t be so hella sexy but it was. It made Enar’s heart do a little jumpy thing he’d noticed more when he was around Palani.
“And when am I ready, oh great and all-knowing master?” he shot back at Palani, not willing to give him all the power.
The smirk widened. “You’ll know it when I’ll let you come.”
Palani sped up, his thrusts pummeling Enar’s hole, wrecking it in a way he’d never experienced before. He let go of any thought of coming anymore, too busy focusing on staying in the present and not losing himself to the sensation. His eyes drilled into Palani’s that darkened with desire as he let out a deep moan. His hand squeezed Enar’s cock, then again, and again.
Enar’s eyes never left Palani’s as the beta spasmed deep inside him, then flooded him with his fluids.
“Now it’s your turn,” Palani panted.
His hand gave one last jack on Enar’s cock and his orgasm slammed into him, leaving his vision white-spotted and his head reeling. His muscles jerked as a wave of pleasure barreled through him, radiating tingles through his entire body.
Palani dropped like a stone on top of him and Enar’s arms came around him, even as the man’s cock still jerked inside him, releasing the last of his juices. Enar had spurted all over himself and his cum was now being smeared all over his body by Palani, and he didn’t care one bit because this sex had been filthy and bossy and absolutely fucking perfect.
