Chapter One

The smooth breezes caused the rocking bassinets to gently swift as I kept my foot braced on the one before me, I was terrified that if I didn’t keep an eye on it, the wind would knock it over and that’s one thing I refused to allow to happen. It was mostly quiet other than the sound of many feet working to finish the wedding ceremony, I knew it was going to be extravagant and there was a silver of hope still wedging its way in my heart. Sundai started to whimper and I quickly corrected the small 8oz bottle in my hand so that she was able to slurp at the nipple and drink the offered liquid, it was a thick green type of goo but I knew it was healthy so I didn’t question it. It was a little windy but that didn’t stop the children from bustling in excitement as they ran around their parents that were laying out decorations. 

Quincy sat nestled in his crib, his body was so tiny in a blue onesie that enhanced his slightly chubby stomach and thick thighs but he was still so adorable with the small blue hat on his head. His nose was small and more shaped like mine than Barry’s, his lips so small as he wrapped them around the nipple of his bottle and his body so delicate that I was scared that I’d break him in half if I held him to tightly. Sundai was very similar as she wore a matching pink onesie, it clutched her chubby belly that I wanted to desperately poke because I knew it’d be soft and plushy but I pushed the urge aside as she chugged her bottle. 

Admire laid sleeping, his soft snores almost silent against the roaring of the smooth breezes that occasionally came and went as time passed by. Stephanie, the triplets, and I sat on the porch of the Medical Hut while watching the layout of the wedding ceremony slowly take place with the help of other members in the pack, the colors appeared to be white and red. Chairs with a white covering were placed out while another person went behind and tied big red ribbon on them, making large bows in the back. Sundai suddenly shifted, making me look at her to see her trying to get more of the bottle’s fluids down her throat, I smiled lightly as I watched her and Quincy drinking their nutrients. It was as if they were having a competition to see who would finish it first. 

I smiled at my babies, seeing a little of Barry’s facial features as Admire slept with his tiny fist balled up. He wasn’t as chubby as his brother and sisters but he was just as adorable with his tiny crocheted, white hat atop his head. A soft beeping caught my attention, making me glance up at the IV cart beside my lounging chair, I glanced over at Stephanie as she slowly got her swollen feet and tapped a couple of buttons before going back to her feet. I knew she was excited to be having her baby soon, I could see the thrill in her eyes whenever she held one of the triplets as they softly mewled or ate, and I was happy for her. There was nothing better than having your own family, at least when it’s not very dysfunctional and the world wasn’t against you, I couldn’t say the same for myself however. 

I was alone in this world, it was just me and my newborn triplets that were going to have to fight the world with me if Barry didn’t come around, and that was one thing I didn’t want to happen, I didn’t want to face the world alone. I looked at Admire as he slept without a worry in the world, and that was how he was suppose to sleep, I wanted my babies to not worry about a thing as they got older. I was going to be the parents my mother and father never was to me, even if I had to do it all on my own, I was going to show them that anything was possible if you put your mind to it. 

I was stupid for thinking that Barry would be able to help me, definitely when he couldn’t help himself at this point, getting another woman pregnant while knowing I was his mate was very hurtful. However, I had no choice but to accept it and hope that Fate made him realize what was here before it was too late and the triplets and I were out the door and not looking back, would he realize what he’s missing out on before I found a new man that happily took care of me and the babies? 

“You okay?” I looked up at Stephanie in confusion before reaching up and feeling the chilled wetness of my cheeks.

My lips quivered as I quickly reached up and wiped my face clean with a slow nod, I hadn’t even notice that I was crying until she spoke about it, making me glance over at her before sighing heavily with exhaustion. Just the slightest movements caused me to be very tired, I wasn’t sure how I was going to be on my own when I found it hard to deal with being by myself and raising triplets, Sundai squirmed in her bassinet, catching my attention as I corrected the bottle one more. I held onto the bottom of the bottles, nervously nipping on my bottom lip as I stared between the babies, how was I going to coop like this? And if Abbigail

did

end up pregnant, that would mean that the babies have a step-brother or sister, I was fine with them having one but it was Abbigail that I didn’t want around.

“Hey Stephanie, how much longer am I going to be on the IV?” I asked, gesturing to the needle imbedded under my skin.

“Depends… how you feeling?” She asked with a soft yawning, immediately triggering one from me.

“Fineeee.” I drawled within my yawn. “You’re making me sleepy.” I told her as she gently chuckled and rubbed her face.

“I’m just so sleepy, everything’s getting so close and I can’t sleep at night sometimes.” Stephanie explained, making me nod with understanding.

“It’ll be like that,” I said, glancing to the people walking with more chairs, “but you still have to be careful and get enough rest.”

“I am, or at least… trying.” She said, reaching up and rubbing her eyes once more.

“Just take it easy then, in no time, the babies will be here and you won’t get any sleep at all.” I joked, gently rubbing Quincy’s belly as he released the nipple to his empty bottle.

“Oh yeah, I can already tell.” Stephanie laughed, but at least she got to leave whenever she was ready, I had to stay here on an IV.

I was sure that having the babies out while they were just barely a week old would be bad for a pure human baby, but as for werewolf babies, it was a good thing by building their immune systems and perfecting their instincts for survival. Before long, they’d be having a drip of actual milk in their goo and I was sure it’ll be a relief for them because the smell of the nutrient liquid was so horrible that it made me sick to the stomach. It was chunky like spoiled milk, coagulated green chucks swirled through the liquefied portion of the nutrient juice. A disgusting sight but the newborns ate away greedily, making me only smile as I watched them drink to their little desires couldn’t take anymore. 

I sat Quincy’s bottle in the small bassinet basket, staring at the cords attached to his arms and legs while keeping him synced to the IV that they all shared together. I looked at the vitals, being able to read their heartbeats and different levels of such and such, I knew it’d take time to get used to them being around all these cords because they were born premature but I knew in time, they’ll grow strong and ready to conquer the world without me. I’d only be positioned on the sideline like a soccer mom watching their children kick the ball the wrong way, I won’t be able to take over but I will be able to guide.

“Well, don’t they look so adorable.” I looked up to see Fran coming our way, he looked dressed for the occasion.

Frances wore a white suit, it clutched his upper half and legs nicely while enhancing his butt and making it look twice it’s thick, normal size. He looked fantastic as he paraded around in his fine wear, his black tie hung on his neck untied as he smiled down at Quincy, who kicked his feet with excitement of the new face. I smiled at Quincy’s reaction, enjoying the way he socially and physically responded, while it might of been a gentle attempt of a smile or even the opening and closing grasp motion of his fingers, I still enjoyed his reaction. 

Fran stepped back and looked at me, his eyes ranked my body with pity as he probably noticed my rather pale skin and the IV still lodged in my arm, it was a rather uncomfortable feeling but as time passed, it started to become very familiar and everything started to feel way more realistic. While there was still a little pudge noticeable, I was no longer carrying the babies and they were truely before me, three of them. I couldn’t wait to spoil them rotten, show them what real love was, and how their parent was suppose to treat them, I couldn’t wait to show them all the things I could do for them, they were my babies and I’d risk my life for them, even before they were born.

“How are you feeling?” Fran asked, no longer taking in my poor appearance. 

“Terrible.” I whispered, sighing softly as I gave him a tired, but gleeful smile.

Fran smiled gently at me before moving closer and gently pecking my forehead, I immediately welcomed the slight show of parental affection from him as he gently rubbed my hair out of my face before walking to Stephanie. I slumped back in my chair as Sundai finished her bottle and started to dose off as well, Admire squirmed in his seat as the wind gently rocked his rocking bassinet, I kept my foot in place as I rested my arms over Quincy and Sundai’s bassinets at my sides. I gently rocked in my rocking chair, closing my eyes as I heard the sound of swift chattering before it abruptly stopped to someone’s presence. 

I opened my eyes as my wrist was gently grabbed and moved, Barry smiled down at Sundai before gently leaning down and pecking her head. I smiled lightly at his presence before allowing my smile to fall as I took in his attire, he wore a suit similar to Frances’ but it was tailored to fit his large body with a red tie tied around his masculine neck. The suit blazar clutched his frame tightly, making his arms look only larger as he gently stroked Sundai’s pink, tiny crocheted hat. He turned his attention to Admire as the baby seemed to notice his presence, Admire pulled his beautiful eyes open and stared at Barry for a moment before his fingers twitched and his closed his eyes back.

“I better get going, I’ll see you around, Steph.” Frances said, making me look over at him as he smiled over at me. “And you get better, sweetheart, hopefully that color will come back.”

I chuckled as he pecked my forehead once more before turning and walking off the porch of the hut, I turned to look at Barry interact with the children to see him staring at me, or at least my pale skin. I wasn’t sure why my color had disappeared and I looked almost dead but I was happy I wasn’t because I was enjoying life with my babies just the way it was.

“You okay?” Barry asked, looking me up and down with concern, or at least he seemed to be concern about me.

“Yeah.” I whispered tiredly, reaching over and fixing Quincy’s onesie as he now laid sleeping quietly.

“You don’t look that bad, I promise.” Barry said, making me smile because I saw it as a way for him to lighten the mood.

“Thanks.” I whispered, gently clearing my throat as my IV started to beep again, making me very agitated. “Stupid machine.” I huffed, looking at it while wondering what buttons to push and make the soft peeping that sounded like blaring to me to stop.

“Don’t you p-” Stephanie went to stop me from touching the machine.

“Hey Barry, it’s time.”  We all turned to look at a Frances as he gestured for Barry to follow him.

“Alright, I’m on my way.” Barry said, I would say he looked nervous but that was an understatement.

I looked at Barry with a raised eyebrow as his face paled a little and he took a deep breath, he looked so manly and handsome, almost being able to steal my breath away as he got to his feet and gave me a reassuring smile before turning on his heels and walking off. They were almost finished and making finishing touches to the buffet table that was very closed to being done, they tossed a few blood red roses and red-dipped pine leaves on table before setting the last decoration, or food. The cake looked magnficient, it was a three layer square shaped cake with the top and third layer being red and the middle layer being white. 

The first layer was the smallest with white and red houndstooth print and a thick white strand of fondant hiding the seal of the first layer to the seocnd layer, which was bigger with a solid blood red color and white beads flowing in the flow of a river and a heart from the shape of the beads laying on top of the waves. The last layer was the largest with the same print as the first layer, but the red and white houndstooth print was swapped around. A beautiful cake, one that was captured by beauty and it’s neatness, this could of been Barry and I’s wedding but I knew I’d have to wait before something like this was ever pulled for me, half of the pack still hated me. 

The crowd slowly moved in with people dressed in dresses and suits, they chattered happily about the two individuals getting married and I sort of wished I could join the conversation, but I couldn’t… maybe it was for the best that I didn’t. Barry took his position at the end of the carpet extending at least twenty feet beyond the rows of chairs that were quickly filling at unbelievable rates, I stared at him as I hoped he’d look my way, even the slightest glance would do. My prayers were answered as Barry glanced my way but quickly averted his eyes, making me smile lightly as I gently rocked the bassinets. 

Everyone rose to their feet as Abbigail exited the Alpha’s hut, she looked magnificent with a red dress clutching her frame beautifully, she was very pretty with her hair curled into a loose ponytail. Her lips were painted a bright red, her glittering eyeshadow sparkled as she stepped forward and smiled a the many people staring back at her as she slowly made her way down the aisle. Everyone stared on with glee, even I stared on with happiness for her while forgetting the person she was marrying for that moment. Her skin shimmered with a glow as she walked with a large grin on her face, her teeth pearly white and straight, she looked magnificent and I looked like a paling zombie.

“She looks beautiful.” Stephanie voiced softly, staring on in shock as I nodded in agreement.

“She does.” I whispered, staring on as Alpha came forward to announce the reasoning of the ceremony.

“We welcome Abbigail into our pack only a couple of days ago, and how, we welcome her into our hearts as she stands before my son, Barry Jr., with the intention to marry him. Would anyone object this order?” I felt like everyone turned to look at me, waiting for me to say something as I only stared at Barry, hoping he’d object himself. “With the need to no longer waste time, I ask that you two join hands.”

Barry and Abbigail joined hands, I stared at as Barry gave Abbigail a uneasy smile while glancing over at his Father than back at the crowd, part of me wished he’d speak up while the other half of me hoped that he wouldn’t so he’d be stuck with his mistake, but I couldn’t have it both ways.

“Do you, Barry, take Abbigail to be your wife?” Alpha asked.

‘No.’ I mindfully answered.

“Yes.” He said, smiling at her lightly.

“Do you, Abbigail, take Barry to be your husband?” Alpha asked her, turning to face her as she smiled and nodded with excitement.

“Yes!” She squealed, causing a couple of people in the crowd to laugh at her response.

I stared on as Barry gave her a side smile before looking at Alpha, who smiled out toward the crowd as they got to the feet with excitement and anticipation of the new marriage, I wasn’t sure why they were excited but I assumed it was because they knew Barry would soon become their leader. I could seem them as only wanting her as a acting figure, she’d be the one that stepped up for women and allowed them to become more productive in the roles of the pack. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, I wanted to be happy for them but I couldn’t bring myself to do it because I knew he was suppose to be mine.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your new bride, Son.” Alpha said.

Barry smiled and pulled Abbigail close, she pecked her lips and Barry gently pecked them, shooting an array of jealous through me that spread like wildfire as I watched on, no longer rocking myself in the rocking chair. The two smiled toward the crowd that clapped and cheered them on, whooping and hollering at their future success as I watched on with agony, I had lost Barry and this wasn’t a dream anymore. I was expecting him to come to his senses but I guess I was wrong, or I at least underestimated Abbigail’s beauty. I felt my breath hitch as she turned to look my way with a large smile on her face and I immediately realized she was rubbing it in, she had gotten his title but I still had his heart, that’s one thing I could smile about, and very soon, if I play my cards right then she won’t have his title either. 

The crowd ascended on the two, happily interacting with them as women circled Abbigail and admired her hair or makeup while a couple of married men circled around Barry, patting his back and welcoming him to the “restraint side” . They all laughed at the nickname of their lives as a married man while congratulating him, I was disgusted with the fact of him being married to someone else but it was something I had to accept without reasoning. I felt his eyes land on me as I dropped my gaze to Admire, who was still sleeping in front of me, I fixed the covers circling him in before carefully lifting him out of the bed and pulling him tightly to my chest as I stared down at him. 

His soft features were so adorable and I knew he had the prettiest eyes out of the triplets, but that meant nothing because he was still my baby just like the other ones. I looked up as Barry slowly made his way over, he paused at the porch steps as he was called and turned to see who called him. I watched with my head slightly lowered so it looked like I was staring at Admire but I wasn’t, instead, I was watching as Barry casually made his way up the steps and over to me.

“Well, you’re a married man.” Stephanie said, slowly pulling herself to her feet as she patted his bicep before entering the Medical Hut.

“Hey.” He whispered, coming close enough for me to smell the cologne lingering off him. “How’s the babies?”

“Fine.” I said. “They just had their bottles so they’re going to be sleep very soon.” I gestured to Quincy as he closed his eyes and dosed off.

“That’s good,” Barry said, gently rubbing Admire’s cheek as I held Admire face dangerously close to my chest.

Just the thought of Barry touching me sent a charge of electricity through me, I was over excited at my thought as I glanced up at him before allowing my eyes to fall back to Admire’s sleeping features.

“He looks so much like you…” Barry whispered before turning and walking off.

What did he mean by that, he looked so much like me? Did he know what I looked like asleep, was he watching me in my sleep? I felt stupid as I realized that I was doped up for about a week and constantly in and out of consciousness, I smiled lightly at Barry’s retreating back as Stephanie exited the Medical Hut to help me get back inside and into bed because I was very exhausted and today had me thinking about a lot of things that weren’t going to vanish on their own.

Chapter Two

I felt a lot better the next morning, the triplets were mostly quiet for the night but Admire woke up whinny this morning. I rocked his gently, feeling his tiny, fragile frame in my arms and I was surprised on how comfortable he fitted, Quincy was larger and more dominate, almost over flowing my arms. Sundai and him were growing so fast and it made me rather sad, Admire was rather slower than the two and I was sure it was because of his omega status. At the most, no one really brought it up and that made me feel better than ever, no one cared that he was an omega, and Alpha didn’t seem to care either. I glanced to the door as it pushed open and Barry slowly entered with someone trailing him, I gave him a nervous smile as Abbigail closed the door behind herself and cuffed her hands in front of her waist while standing there and staring straight at me. I averted my eyes from her, feeling uncomfortable as she turned her gaze away finally and I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. 

I looked down at Admire as he squirmed a little before settling with his eyes staring around him, Barry moved to the side of my cot and smiled down at Admire, who only stared back at him. I glanced back to Barry, looking up in his face as he continued to smile down at Admire with his eyes glistening, I wanted to say he was close to crying but I was positive Barry never cried. Admire started to mewl and I quickly moved to rock him gently, reaching for a prepared bottle that Stephanie had left before she went to enjoy her day off with her husband. I carefully sat the bottle in Admire’s reach and his hands found it before his lips found the nipple, I watched as he hungrily latched onto the bottle before guzzling it down like it was his last meal. 

I felt worried about that, while it might of been normal for newborn pups to act this way, I didn’t like the fact that they always appeared to be hungry and acted to be starving, where they starving? The thought of me starving my own children made my stomach turn, I was suppose to be responsible and I was always suppose to put them first, I wasn’t going to make them suffer the way I did when I grew up. Barry moved to the cot and carefully took a seat close to my feet before looking at Abbigail and gesturing to an empty seat near the bed. Abbigail walked to the seat and gracefully sat down, crossing one leg over the other as she wore a short light green dress, it had a sweetheart neckline that showed the swelling of her breast, the dress clutched tightly to her before expanding just a little at the waist and coming to a stop close to the middle of her thigh. 

I turned my attention away from her, glancing at Barry as he openly eyed her legs before remembering that I was in the room, he glanced my way and then quickly averted his eyes before looking at one of the infant glass cases before him. Barry pulled himself to his feet swiftly before walking to an occupied case and looking inside, he stared at Quincy for a second before carefully reaching in and lifting him up, Quincy stirred but settled as Barry pulled Quincy close to his chest and held him gently. A small smile came to my face as I watched Barry gently rock Quincy, while I was upset that Barry had googly-eyed Abbigail’s legs, I pushed the jealousy away and focused on his interaction with the babies. Quincy eyes opened soon and he stared at his father for a second before seeking something else out, I smiled at him lightly as he stared around with his large, clear blue eyes.

The triplets all had their father’s eyes, and that was something I actually adored and wanted them to have, I loved Barry’s electric blue eyes and his handsome smile, not to mention his quiet personality and his masculine physic. He was a stunning man and with age came maturity, he was slowly maturing into a decent husband and while he wasn’t

my

husband, I knew he’d be a good one to Abbigail, he was the one that got away . 

I turned my attention from Barry and Quincy while taking a heavy gulp to clear the large lump in my throat, I was sad because I couldn’t have my own mate but I was still lucky that he wanted me and the children in his life, or just the children but with the children came me. I was scared to be on the sideline, would I be forgotten? I had no choice but to be second because Barry had gotten Abbigail pregnant, or he was at least going to very soon and while I didn’t want it to happen, I had no way to stop it because I was always nervous to bring up Barry and Abbigail’s relationship to anyone. 

It wasn’t my place to interfere, no matter how much she suddenly interfered with Barry and I, well, she more intercepted Barry and I’s relationship like… like a football game . Barry had his heart and he was throwing it to me, but instead, no one had blocked Abbigail and she had intercepted the throw to catch it herself… and she caught it, she caught his heart before I could. Just the analogy made me want to bust out in tears, I had lost Barry’s heart to someone else, to a

girl

to be precise. If that wasn’t ego crushing, I don’t know what was because Barry didn’t love me, not the way Fate was suppose to make him. Had Fate let me down? Had The Lord given up on me? Of course he didn’t, he gave me three wonderful babies in return and while Fate was still trying to show Barry the way, I had to blame Barry for being stubborn and not seeing the light that was shining on me within his dark closet that he had buried himself in. 

Barry was in the closet, he was in denial, he had to be to pass up his own mate that was brought together with destiny, I was his destiny and he had given me up for someone else, for a…

girl

. My thought process was broken by the Medical Hut door opening, Frances popped his head in and a smile grew on my face as he entered with a small box in his hand. Behind him, two others made their entrance and my smile only lessened as I stared at Alpha and a large man that I immediately recognized. The large man was at the conference that I had with Alpha on my arrival, it was the burly Alpha that said he remembered my surname, Luna, from somewhere and he was always so intimidating to me. Frances wore a light leather coat over a plain white shirt, he threw on a pair of jeans that were ripped at the ankles and no shoes, his brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail but a few strands hung free. 

Alpha wore a black top that hung tightly to his lean muscles and sculpted figure, he also wore a pair of stretching workout pants that also clung to his masculine but small thighs and claves, instead of being barefooted, he wore a pair of sandals for his rather small feet. The burly Alpha, who I still didn’t know the name of, stood by the door in a pair of bleached blue jeans that were ripped at the ankles similar to Frances, his shirt was skintight and showed off every curve of his large muscles as he stood with his arms crossed over his chest and his feet bare. I took a heavy gulp and pulled Admire tighter into my chest, I was nervous to have the burly man in here but everyone else seemed rather casual about it, I didn’t know if I could trust him just yet and it made me worry about the babies and I being around him. 

I glanced to Barry as he gently rocked Quincy, staring at Alpha and the burly Alpha standing at the door as Frances walked over to me, I smiled at Fran as he showed me the small box with a large grin on his face. I shook my head while chuckling at his excitement, he sat the box beside me on the cot and carefully grabbed Admire from me, I allowed him before grabbing the small box, it was wrapped in baby blue wrapping paper and had a small tag that read:

Avery

. I smiled and tore the wrapping paper off before looking at the cardboard box, a small shipment tag was on it and I already knew it was something that Fran had ordered from either the internet or a catalog book. 

I decided to stop speculating and pulled the tab of the cardboard box open. Inside, three rolled up shirts sat inside with a couple of binkies and replaceable bottle nipples, I gently laughed as I moved a couple of colorful binkies aside and grabbed one of the rolled up shirt. The material was so smooth and stretchy, I pulled the small shirt open to see it was actually a onesie for the triplets, the onesie said:

Sundai

in curly font and I was sure the other two were for the other babies. I smiled up at Fran graciously, he gently rocked Admire while patting his back to burp him.

“Thank you, Fran.” I finally said, fighting the tears that were slowly pushing at the barrier of my eyes, I wasn’t trying to cry.

I was grateful to have him in my life, he reminded me of a mother more than a father and while I would never tell him that, I knew he probably would understand and say it’s intentional. I had only known this guy for less than a month and he already went all of his way to buy me something for the babies, the

FIRST

person to get me anything for the babies. Not unless someone had brought things for them and they were at the hut that the babies and I would eventually be moving to, Fran reached forward and I carefully hugged him as he held Admire.

“It was nothing, Alexander bought you cribs.” Fran told me, and I felt even more thankful that his masculine husband even got me something, and he didn’t know anything about me.

“We already have cribs.” Someone finally spoke up, we all turned our head to look at Abbigail as she continued to sit with one leg crossed over the other.

The position she sat it threatened to show her panties but I dared not look in that direction because I wasn’t interested in women, I didn’t find them sexual appealing and I didn’t find her cute, not at all. I easily saw her packing up and leaving Barry’s side one day, and definitely leaving him with their children so she could live on her own and be the person she wanted to be. I could even imagine her taking half of his fortune, and Barry wouldn’t care because he would have the children that he always wanted, but he would have to raise them on his own. I couldn’t see Barry raise his children on his own, he didn’t seem like the type to raise children, he was more free-spirited and didn’t like to be held back, or at least that’s what I saw him as the day I spotted him at the party I snuck into with a couple of friends.

“Extras never hurt for pups.” Fran replied, glancing her way rather agitatedly before turning to face me once more. “Definitely since your pregnant now.” He muttered.

“Frances…” Alpha said in a warning tone, making Fran throw his arms up in a surrendering motion.

“I’m just saying, Alpha, Barry already made Avery pop out three… who’s to say she won’t either.” I snickered at Fran’s reasoning, shaking my head as I rolled the shirt up and placed it back in the box.

“For you information,” Abbigail started once more, curling her lip at Frances,“ what Barry and I do is none of your business, you’re not his wife, I am.“

I glanced to Barry to see his expression, I was curious to know how he felt about his wife truly and what better way than to read the man because it was like taking an open-book test, it’s all right in your face . Barry was glancing between Frances and Abbigail, his eyes could occasionally glance to Alpha who was also staring at the two as Frances curled his lip back at her and opened his mouth to say a sharp reply before holding his hands up and taking a deep breath to calm himself. 

Abbigail, on the other hand, only smirked as she sat straight up in the chair and swept her hair out of her face in a snobby way, her earrings dazzled and I knew they were expensive and made from real diamonds. She then reached up and corrected her bra without a care that we were all still staring at her, Frances and I were looking at her with agitation as Alpha only rose an eyebrow and the other Alpha only shook his head.  

“I’m ready to leave, right now .” Abbigail said curtly in Barry’s direction.

Barry sighed before carefully turning to me and passing me Quincy, I refused to take him as I stared at Barry, who looked at me with confusion before trying to pass me Quincy once more. I only stared at Barry, hoping he would stay and actually enjoy time with his children but I saw that that wasn’t going to be an option for him because he was so busy running around to please his

new wife

. I turned to look at Abbigail as she got to her feet and yanked on the bottom of her dress as it rose a little.

“The door is right there, hun.” Fran spoke before I could. “Don’t let it hit you in your

flat

butt on the way out.“

I quickly cut my snicker short and looked at Fran with an attempted stern look as Abbigail glared at him before placing her hand on her hip and looking at Barry with shock that he wasn’t defending her. Instead, Barry was glancing around while trying to find place to set Quincy, who was now starting to mewl from the discomfort of not being rocked, Barry had no choice but to start rocking Quincy once more while shooting Abbigail an apologetic look. Alpha moved aside from the door, watching as Abbigail then turned her glare to him, making him only raise his head in a threatening manner that spoke volumes that she shouldn’t challenge or yell at him. Instead, Abbigail plopped down in the seat with a quiet grumble.

“Avery,” I looked at the burly Alpha in confusion as he moved closer to the bed,“ you’re invited to the feast tonight, everyone will be there and I’m positive their ready to meet the new pups of the pack.“

“I’ll be there.” I said, turning to stare at Barry as he gently rocked Quincy while staring at me, he turned his attention way and down to Quincy while pulling him close and gently pecking his head.

The stars twinkled beautifully above our heads as I carefully took the steps of the Medical Hut, each step sent a small charge of agony up my spin and threw my lower abdomen but I pushed the pain aside and continued forward, glancing behind me as a couple of others help roll the IV and glass carts down the small ramp they made by putting plywood on the ledge. I smiled kindly at Stephanie as she slowly released me, my legs shook my loose jelly but I pushed forward with another step before pausing while taking a couple of breaths to reduce the pain. I looked up as I heard heavy steps coming toward me, Barry stood in a nice button up black shirt and a pair of black slacks, a white flower was pinned to his black button up and he wore shiny black shoes. 

Just like the day of his wedding, which was yesterday, he was so handsome and manly that I just wanted to jump into his arms and kiss him all over his stubby face, what a handsome man he surely was. I took a heavy gulp while preparing myself for the next step, I was almost always bedbound with the IV sticking in my arm but I was trying to get into walking more so by the time I was released from the hut, I’ll be able to move freely on my own without anyone’s help. 

Barry pulled to a stop beside me and quickly grabbed my side in a nice, firm grip to hold me up, his other hand moved to my lower back as he moved behind me and then allowed his first hand to fall from my side and to my hip. Lastly, his second hand moved from my lower back and to my other hip to help direct me forward, I took each step slowly while electricity fired through me, Barry was touching me, he was touching me in the many places that sparked dirty thoughts in my head. He held my hips carefully, not to tight but firm enough to keep me mostly balanced, firm enough to hold me in place incase he wanted to ever …

nevermind

. 

Soft, battery powered lamps sparkled light onto the rows of many tables that were slowly filling up, the tables all circled one in particular and it was the one Barry was slowly leading me to. The tables had red cloths on them with clear white plates and on each plate was a small card that read something, which I assumed to be names. I wasn’t sure what this feast was for exactly but I remembered the burly Alpha saying something about “people wanting to meet the new pups in the pack”. I made it to the tables with the baby carts coming to a stop near the seat that had a small card before it, the card read:

Avery Luna

 and I smiled lightly at the thought of sitting at the power table with the rest of the

Representatives

, as Stephanie calls them. 

I had enough room to fit the babies in with Quincy and Admire on one side and Sundai between Barry and I, I placed my hand in Quincy’s cart and gently rubbed his legs as a cover laid over them to keep them warm. His eyes were wide open and he openly stared at the beautiful sky before him, glittering and wavering as stars glistened with fire. I turned my attention forward as someone sat beside Barry, it was Abbigail of course and she wore a white lacy shirt with a solid white skirt that stopped just above her knees for once, the swells of her breast and even parts of her areola were on full show with a low cowl lacy top. I shook my head at the sight of her as she sat with her head held high and her hair falling over her shoulders in luscious waves.

“How are you feeling?” Barry asked me gently, giving me a concern glance over before meeting my eyes.

I took the time to dress myself in a nice white top with a red bowtie that Stephanie had bought me from her house, my pants were also red and were tighter than I preferred but it was much I could do because everything had been ordered in advance and Fran had to pass me these. I felt spectacular but I might of looked unspectacular because I had no idea what to do with my hair, which fell past my shoulders in chocolate brown rivers, I had pulled it back into a very long ponytail and I was ready to chop it off.  

“I’m fine, thank you.” I hadn’t meant for it to be so dismissive and it seemed that Barry didn’t care because he shot me an expression that said he didn’t believe me.

“You don’t look fine, you shouldn’t had come if you were still feeling bad. Do you want me to take you to lay do-” Barry started.

“Barry, I’m fine.” I said, a small smile on my face as he slowly nodded to me with his face still showing his concern.

I gently patted his hand as he laid resting over Sundai’s glass case, Sundai was happily snoring away as Barry sighed before slowly nodding and looking down at her with a small smile on his face.

“She’s out for the count.” Barry said, I agreed with a small smile on my face before reaching up to gently correct the hat on her head. “You look good.”

“Thanks…” I trialed, nervously glancing his way before cutting my eyes to the table before us. “You do too.”

“Thanks.” Barry said, reaching forward and grabbing a flower from the small vase to smell it. “Here, just a little, something .”

I rose an eyebrow at him and reluctantly took the flower as someone moved to take a seat before me, I looked to see Frances eyeing Abbigail with a disapproval look as he wore a red camisole over a white shirt, his pants were also red and his black shoes nice and shiny. I cut my eyes away from him as Alexander took his own seat, smiling at all of us before reaching forward and taking a flower from the same vase that Barry to his from, he then passed the flower to Fran. I smiled as Frances gave him an angelic look that spoke of nothing but romance before taking the flower and giving Alexander a large kiss on the lips with no shame, the two fit together so perfectly and I admired their relationship. I looked at Sundai as she started to mewl, her eyes wide and searching around frantically, I smiled lightly and went to grab her but Barry intercepted and grabbed her gently out of the glass case.

“I got her.” He said with a tender smile, gently holding her up to kiss her forehead before pulling her tight to her chest, immediately causing her to seize her crying.

“Yes, you do.” I said, turning my attention back to the flower in my hand.

I had no clue what it meant when Barry gave me this flower but seeing that Fran and Alexander had did it also, it had to be something from tradition, I sighed, gently twirling the flower in my fingers by the round stem. The stem was a little fuzzy feeling as I ran my finger along it, the red carnation was very beautiful and it only made my curiosity soar because I realized that Barry hadn’t gave Abbigail one, I glanced her way to see her looking at Fran and Alexander with a sour expression, her nose scrunched in disgust.

“Two men loving are disgusting.” She suddenly said, making the people already at the table glance her way.

Fran, Alexander, Barry, Jacob, the woman from the

Representatives

, and one other person stared at her with such hatred as she rose her head and looked at Fran and Alexander with disgust, I was completely shocked that she didn’t know that she was addressing the Beta in such a manner. Alexander, however, held his composure and slowly nodded to Abbigail before turning to Frances, who was ready to slice Abbigail neck with his steak knife, which he squeezed tightly in his hand. Alexander reached over and gently rubbed Fran’s hand, coaxing him to set the knife down as he gently pecked his neck, I was disgusted that Abbigail thought she could come and change this pack to make it the way she wanted it to. Then it struck me, she was coming to run her own pack and her marrying Barry would make her also powerful, but of course, she wasn’t powerful like the running Beta and Alpha, who she was also offending.  

“If that is so, I’ll be sure to tell Barry and his husband , Darnell.” Hearing Alexander address Alpha as Barry was when reality hit for Abbigail.

Abbigail’s eyes widened to the size of teacup saucers as her mouth lightly dipped open, she glanced around the table as smug looks stared back at her, Alexander sat back in his chair with ease as Fran smirked at Abbigail.

“You can’t bad mouth everyone, sweetheart.” Frances said, his smirk widened as I turned to look at Abbigail, who only stared back at him.

“This is your fault.” Abbigail growled angrily, making Fran cock his head confusingly. “You’re trying to run me out of this pack anyway, because you’re jealous of me.”

“Jeal-” I started.

“Jealous?!” Fran cut me off with a loud yell, catching a couple of other people’s attention. “How would I be jealous of you,

you whore

!“

“Frances.” A loud voice boomed, I had expected it to be Alpha but instead it was Alexander in his Beta tone.

Frances turned his attention to his husband in a glare but the anger inside of him immediately fused as Alexander stared at Frances with disappointment now, Fran averted his eyes almost immediately as if he couldn’t strand the sight of Alexander staring at him. I felt terrible that Fran was the one that was getting in trouble, and if he was going to get in trouble, then so was I. I turned to Abbigail, she wore a large smirk on her face as she crossed her arms over her chest and sat back in her chair with a face of amusement.

“No one could be jealous of you, Abbigail. You’re disgusting.” I said, making her look at me with a face of disbelief.

I didn’t turn my attention away from her as I felt everyone’s eyes draw to me, Abbigail sat up in her chair and glared at me as Barry nervously glanced between me and her, I wasn’t scared of Abbigail as they might of thought, I would never put my hands on a woman but that doesn’t mean I can’t break one down. No one said a word as Alpha and… Darnell walked up to our table and took their seats, Darnell held the chair for Alpha before taking his own seat beside him and doing what the others were doing all around at each table. He took a red carnation from the vase and passed it to Alpha, who kindly took it while trying desperately to suppress a large smile. I smiled also, looking back at the red carnation in my arms before glancing at Barry with a soft smile, he noticed me smiling at him and paused to smile back at me as I gently twirled the red carnation with my fingers, feeling the fuzzy stem of it. 

I still wasn’t sure exactly what this type of motion meant but it was obviously tradition because everyone did it, I looked down at the red carnation with something I thought I lost,

hope

. Hope poured in my heart, warming me to the core and making me feel more relaxed than I’ve felt since I got news that Abbigail and Barry were getting married. Barry had given me a red carnation, which gave me hope that there was still something that wanted him to be with me,

his wolf

, his wolf still wanted me. I glanced to Frances as he stared at his red carnation, his eyes glossed over and his lips pursed tightly, I could see the question in his eyes as he continued to stare at his carnation without looking up to address Alpha Barry and Alpha Darnell. 

I lowered my head to make it seem like I wasn’t watching him as he sat the red carnation beside his plate and clasped his hands in his lap as he sat with on leg drawn over the other, a comfortable position for him. Alexander glanced his way before placing his arm on the back of his chair, his fingers started to lightly stroke Frances shoulder and I awkwardly watched as Fran used an excuse of grabbing a couple of napkins to get away from Alexander’s touch. The look on Alexander’s face was unrestful, he glanced at Fran before cutting his eyes to the two newcomers, I turned my attention to Alpha Barry and Alpha Darnell as well.

“Good evening everyone.” Alpha said, standing up as everyone turned to face him. “We’ve all gathered today to continue the celebration of Barry and Abbigail’s marriage, as well as introduce the new triplets that now continues the  Alentine Bloodline . We have Sundai,” Barry held up Sundai proudly, “a new dominate.” Roaring filled the air, making me smile lightly as Barry pulled Sundai back to his chest.

Sundai squirmed, her big gray eyes staring at everyone before they settled on Barry and she only stared at him, making my smile widen. I reached beside and carefully lifted Quincy up so that Alpha could address him next, Quincy felt gigantic in my arms as I held him hovering over my lap, ready to be lifted up so everyone could see him.

“Quincy, another dominate now entering the pack.” The roaring filled the air once more, I lifted Quincy up carefully as his feet started to kick at the air and a couple of awes rung through the air as well.

I lowered him with a small giggle, smiling as I went to pass him to Barry but Frances gestured to have him instead, I passed Quincy to Frances over the table before reaching to grab sweet, little Admire next. I carefully picked him up as Admire opened his pretty dark grey eyes and stared at me before yawning so adorably and reaching to grab his feet. I laughed at him as Barry smiled at us, I knew he was smiling at us because he stared at me before his eyes dropped to Admire, then he went back to staring at me. His gaze made me want to shiver, but I held my composure while fighting a blush that was trying to creep up my neck and cover my cheeks.

“And Admire, our third born Omega.” I lifted Admire up next, smiling as many awes filled the air over whoops and cheering.

I gently lowered him down and pulled him tight to my chest, my babies were going to be known an well taken care of, that’s all that mattered to me. It didn’t matter that I held my children up like we were auctioning them off, it mattered that people knew who they were and that they were well protected by the Alentine Bloodline . I glanced over at Barry, noticing him staring at Sundai before his eyes trialed to Quincy, I watched as he leaned down the best he could and pecked their cheeks gently with love shining in his eyes. My face softened even more, it was easy to tell that he loved his babies, I could tell that he loved the triplets and that was all that mattered. Barry finally looked my way, his eyes glossy with unfallen tears as he opened his mouth, I smiled lightly at him, grateful for him because he wanted to be in the children’s lives, he wanted to be there for them every step of the way.

“I…” He trialed, I easily noticed his large gulp as his eyes continued to stare at me, shining with unfallen tears.

“Barry…” I trailed, confused on what he was about to say.

 I’m sorry? I didn’t mean to hurt you? I thank you? I’ll never put them in a terrible situation? I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you? I’m sorry I married Abbigail? I willing to divorce her? I will make this up to you? I wanna be with you? I need you in my life? I want more children with you?… 

I love you

?

“I

want you to move in with me and Abbigail

.“ I stared at Barry with disbelief, that was

FAR

from what I wanted him to say.

My vision suddenly became blurry as it felt like my world tilted, but instead of fainting, hot tears rolled down my cheeks, I didn’t move to wipe my face as I stared at him with so much hurt and pain because at the end of the day, she was going to be sharing the bed with him, not me. The reminder that she was winning struck hard, she was winning and the more I sat him wishing it was me, the closer she was getting to be powerful and trying to run the pack as her own for whatever reason. 

I was desperate to know her intentions, I turned and looked at Abbigail as she sat quiet, telling me they had already talked about it and she must of agreed that it was okay that I moved in, or she didn’t have a choice to agree or not because Barry didn’t give her one. I saw there was no option, Barry wasn’t going to leave Abbigail without reasoning and I wasn’t going to let him go so easily, that said, I was going to find a way to make him love me and use this as my opportunity. I felt something touch my cheek and looked to see Frances gently patting my cheeks clear of salty tears, I gave him a grateful smile before sniffling and turning to look back at Barry, who was looking at me with confusion for my tears.

“I’m sorry, is it so-”

“Okay.” I said, cutting him off shot.

“Okay? You will?” He asked, looking at me with hope.

I knew the reason he wanted me in the same hut was for the children but not solely for the children, he wanted me near him as well and while I wasn’t sure what the real reason was for, I was going to find out. I knew Barry wasn’t in love with Abbigail and the only reason he married her was because she was suppose to be pregnant, I wasn’t sure if Abbigail wasn’t pregnant or not, I wasn’t sure about a lot of things. However, one thing I was sure about is that I wanted Barry out of Abbigail’s life and into mine, where he would truly be happy and see that love could be pure, no matter what sexuality you had. 

Barry was my potential and as long as he was by my side, I was going to push Abbigail away from his, she didn’t deserve him and while Barry might not deserve me, I felt like I needed him more than ever. I needed him, the babies need him, his pack needed him and as long as he treated each one of us right, Barry was going to make a great husband, an amazing father, and a wonderful Alpha. I was going to get him what he desired most, his title and I knew Frances was on my side no matter what way I went about getting Barry to be mine. Alexander was most likely on my side as well, Alpha was going to get a rude awakening when he finds out that Barry doesn’t want to be with Abbigail anymore, but with me instead.

Because I was going to make Barry mine, no matter what cost it took.

                                           

You have just finished a long beautiful chapter, you see Avery's intentions and you probably conclude Abbigail's intentions, I hope you've enjoyed this long chapter and that you stay tuned for the next one. I'm not sure if it's going to be as long as this one but there will be one for sure, until then, 

ciao

# Chapter Three

I sighed, staring at the hut before me as Barry gently passed me, he held Quincy close to his shoulder with a small blue blanket laid over him, I held Admire and Sundai in both my arms while slowly following him with a little uncertainty. My mind was yelling that I was stupid while my heart was encouraging me to follow behind him, maybe my mind was right since I was still trying to fix the 
un
fixable. I looked down in my arms as Sundai squirmed like leaning against my shoulder and I remembered why I was coming to look at the house that Barry had desperately cleaned up, 
hopefully
. Barry moved close to the door, carefully reaching forward in a slow motion to not awake Quincy. 

I waited patiently as Barry pulled the door open and I was able to see the inside of the hut from outside, the wooden floors were nice and clean of any dirt or clothing. I moved closer, looking around the large open space that contained Barry's made bed, the clean rug on the floor and the shiny floors that glistened in the sun's bright light. I gave Barry a small smile as he glanced my way before progressing inward, I stepped inside behind and was able to see the new addition to Barry's house, 
four
 rocking cradles. I felt my tension release a little, it was so cute to see them all pushed together, each of them side by side one another. 

"As you can see, it's not much but..." Barry trailed as I glanced around the bedroom that I would soon be sharing with him and Abbigail, I pursed my lips.

"Where will I be sleeping?" I asked, positive it'd probably a small cot in the corner. 

"The bed, I can sleep in the midd-"

Many reasons told me to leave, and while I was ignoring them, I knew I couldn't ignore them long because in time, I'd grow sick of waiting or I'll just grow bored with the entire situation. My main issue was Abbigail, if she was staying, Barry wasn't going to let her go anytime soon but if she planned to get what she want and leave him behind, I would be here for him. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through Abbigail's mind, even when she wasn't present, she had to be reluctant or in denial over the fact that Barry was trying to make me equal to her. I was angry that Alpha was making Barry be with Abbigail, but now there was no choice and I knew that Barry wouldn't leave her with the child. 

"Will Abbigail be okay with that?" I replied.

"She doesn't have a choice." I slowly nodded, so he 

did

 wear the pants in this relationship. "Everything is the same, with the exception of us having to share a bed."

"Okay." I said, slowly nodding my head to tell him I understood the exception.

I was a little nervous to tell Barry how I felt because I wasn't sure how he was going to take my worries, he would either change them to make my worries go away or he was going to make me face them. I was positive the second choice was more of him and that he would not give me any other choice, there was many better ways for this to go, including Barry break the bond with Abbigail and make me his husband. I took a deep breath, still feeling a little weak from all the nutrients that were forcefully being pumped inside of me instead of my body making the appropriate amount. I glanced over at Barry as he gently rocked Quincy while staring in his face, my vision blurred and I suddenly because very light headed as I waited for it to settle, I glanced at Barry to see if he noticed my sudden mood change and indeed it didn't go unnoticed.

"You need a seat?" Barry asked, putting his unoccupied, beefy arm out to me and I quickly walked toward him.

The scent of his strong cologne of AXE and manly body odor was relishing at my nostrils, I stifled a moan loudly and ended it with a loud clear of the throat before giving Barry a shy, nervous smile. He wrapped his masculine arm around my waist and carefully guided me to the bed, I nervously bit my lip as he helped me sit down carefully. I sat down slow and carefully before looking at him with eyes of thankfulness, he was being very kind and I was very grateful that he was being patient with me. 

"Thank you." I whispered, giving him a shy glance over before looking down at Sundai and Admire in my arms.

I looked back to Barry as he went back to gently rocking Quincy, casually pacing as I glanced around, this was going to be my new home and while I was nervous to see how everything was going to go, I was also excited to know I was going to be able to set my plan into motion. I glanced at Barry while wondering how I should approach him, was he happy with her? Did he ever think about me? Would he care if I told him I loved him? Would he believe me if I said I still wanted to be the only one he loved? Barry must of noticed my stare because he came to a stop and looked at me with confusion, I gave him an awkward side smile before cutting my eyes to the shiny, wooden floor that was installed. It was tension in the room and while it wasn't thick or heavy, it was still there and it made me uncomfortable. I was nervous to look up because I swear I felt Barry's eyes still boring into mine and seeing his look would be rather heartbreaking, was he happy? 

"Barry..." I whispered shyly, immediately catching his attention as he turned and looked at me questionably. "Are you..."

He stared at me for a second as I averted my eyes, hoping he'd understand. I could feel his eyes trying to find mine but I continued to avoid his gaze until I heard him sigh softly, I looked up as the bed dipped from his weight as he took a seat beside me. I glanced over at him before looking to the ground once more, I searched his posture for his answer, I knew slumped shoulders meant he was stressed and pass the brink of giving up but a smile and straight back meant he was happy. 

Luckily for me, Barry sat with his shoulders slightly slumped as he held Quincy tight to his chest, I smiled lightly as I gently started to rock Sundai and Admire while a soft yawn threatened to slip from my mouth but I held it back as Barry gave me a simple, light shrug that spoke any volumes. He wasn't sure if he was happy anymore, and I felt terrible that he was in denial over the fact that he wasn't with someone he could love, he would never be able to love Abbigail because she wasn't his mate, I was. I knew it, Alpha knew it, Stephanie knew it, Frances knew it, Abbigail knew it, the 
pack
 knew it. Instead, they preferred Barry to be unhappy while he lead the pack, something that wasn't good at all and while I had no say on it, I wish I had because I wanted what was mine, what was 

RIGHTFULLY

 mine, and I was going to get it.

# Chapter Four

"That's it." Barry breathed, making me turn to face him as he cleaned his hands off before looking at the new installation of the large "Bedroom". 

I stared at the California King bed as well, it was easily going to fit the three of us with enough room for one extra person but what worried me most was that space was growing tight and soon we'd have seven people running around this tiny hut. I walked to the bed and dropped the newly cleaned and dried spread sheets on the bed, I glanced over at the cribs as the babies quietly nursed their bottles as it laid angled diagonally toward their mouths. Barry was very serious about the babies and I moving in, I had only visited yesterday to speak with him and Abbigail about the matter and he was already investing in room for me, the California King bed was more than enough to show me he was very serious. 

My question was left unanswered however, and it really bothered me because I knew Barry wasn't happy, I just wanted him to admit it. I gulped as I pulled the bedsheets to one corner and glanced his way, I was debating to ask him the same question today, as I had yesterday, but I was sure I wasn't going to get the answer I wanted, or at least no answer at all. Barry walked to the other side of the bed and grabbed the corner of the sheets to pull over the mattress as well, I gave him a small smile gratefully as he slid me small, one-sided smile before going back to making up the bed with me. 

It was something couples would do at times, help each other make up the bed, or do the dishes, or clean a room in the house and to see Barry already helping me make up the bed we would be sharing with one extra person, it made me anxious to know all the more of his relationship with Abbigail. Was it a play? What was the real reason that Abbigail was here? What were her intentions? Why couldn't she just go away and leave Barry and I to be h-

"Avery..." I looked up with alertness to find Barry staring at me with a rose eyebrow of concern. "You... okay?" He drawled unsurely, casting me a glance before fixing the tan-colored fitted sheet on his side of the mattress.

"Huh? Oh, yeah... just thinking." I muttered, biting my lip as I tired to think of a way to justify myself incase he pushed the conversation further. 

"About?" And that's exactly what he did.

"Things." I muttered under my breath, hoping he'd take it as a hint that I didn't want to talk about it. 

"Things like?" He pressured, I bit my lip once more, actually gnawing on it like a dog with a bone. "Stop doing that, your going to make yourself bleed."

I looked up at him with confusion before realizing he was talking about the habit I had picked up very recently, today to be exact. I released my lip and felt it swelling slightly as I finished with the fitted sheet before grabbing the white top sheet. I pulled it on my side and threw him his corner before sighing, I was debating on telling him but I didn't want to put a wedge between us the moment I brought up his relationship. 

His eyes fell over mine as I stared toward his direction, I casted him a look and he immediately dropped his eyes to the bed and went to pulling the bedsheet toward him. The looks were understandable, but I wasn't sure if it was out of curiosity or if it was out of reluctance because I was reluctant to tell him everything that I felt. I was scared of being told no, being told I wasn't worthy of his heart just yet, being told I wasn't what he wanted or what he needed... being told I wasn't good enough for him. I was scared of being rejected by him, nothing hurt more than your soulmate, your friend, your future telling you they didn't want to be yours, that they didn't 
love 
you.

"You were saying?" Barry said, making me look turn my attention away from him finally. 

"What?" I said, stepping away from the bed as he grab the big tan, quilted comforter to throw on the bed lastly. 

"What were you thinking about?" Barry continued, I was hoping he'd let it go.

"Eh." I replied, stubbornly showing I wasn't going to easily let him know.

He released a small snort. "What? You having second thoughts about living with me?" I could only chuckle because I knew I didn't have a choice. "Is the future Alpha life to hard for you?"

"Boy, please." I mocked Fran from when he told off a flirtatious person when they tried to get close to Alexander from earlier. 

"Haha, he's so wearing off on you." I could only laugh as Barry shook his head with a tiny smirk. "But you know what, it's cute." Barry continued, making me immediately blush as I averted my eyes.

"Whatever, Barry." I chuckled, turning and walking to the cribs to check on the babies.

Barry loud feet thumped along the floor as he followed behind me, I stopped by Sundai's crib first and smiled down at her as she chugged her bottle while it laid angled on a pillow, she was loudly slurping and rather calmer than I expected today. Her legs were limp with her toes occasionally wiggling like she had just pulled a too tight shoe off that she had worn the full day, I reached down and tickled under her small toes as she tried to pull them back. I smiled, removing my finger from her feet and gently tickling under her chin, lightly cooing at her as she stared up at me with a face that said 
get the fuck away from me already
, it made me laugh lightly. 

I moved away as Barry lingered longer, staring down at her with a face of ease as he watched her drink her milk, which was actually natural milk that I transferred to a bottle, like I always did. The reason I did so was because I wasn't comfortable with the babies biting my stiffened nubs, while it didn't hurt, it was a little uncomfortable because of their toothless gums nipping down on my swollen, pointy nipples. My breast always felt swollen and full, sometimes causing aches because of the milk would sometimes hang around over night before I decided to transfer it to a bottle. I peeked over Admire's crib, his bottle had fallen off it's pillow and had stopped the flow of delicious milk into his mouth, I reached down and corrected it before smiling down as he went back to chugging down his milk like the others. 

"There you go, baby." I said, smiling down at him.

"What?" Barry called, glancing my way in confusion.

I kept my eyes on my handsome son, all of my babies were so beautiful. "I wasn't talking to you, Barry." I chuckled back.

"Oh, well... Barry and baby sound a little alike." He said, I glanced at him with a raised eyebrow to see him smirking before he shot me a little wink and lifted Quincy out of his crib. 

"No they do not." I said, walking over to Quincy and him. "They sound 
nothing
 alike." I reached down in Quincy's crib and grabbed the bottle out. 

I passed it to Barry as he snorted and shook his head, saying he disagreed as he moved the nipple of the bottle close to Quincy's mouth and allowed him to latch onto it, I stayed beside Barry to stare at Quincy as he drunk his milk. He didn't let a drop go to waste as he guzzled down the breastmilk, I reached up and touched his chubby cheek lightly before smiling and gently pecking his forehead.

"You're breastfeeding right?" Barry asked suddenly, making me look at him suspiciously. "What? I just want to know." He immediately justified. 

"Yes, I'm just using bottles right now." I replied, turning away and walking back to the bed as my feet started to cramp at the heels. 

"So you plan on switching to using your nipples soon?" He continued, patting Quincy's butt without cutting his eyes to me, I glanced at him and stared for a moment longer before deciding to answer him.

"Yea, I'm still debating though." I replied, I plopped back on the bed, laying with my legs hanging off and my eyes closed.

My back immediately screamed as I laid back, I released a small groan as I reached up and nestled my clasped hands along my newly formed breast valley, my breast were barely passing an A cup but I had breast none of the less. They were perky and my nipples sat toward the middle so perfectly but I knew that they'd only last for so long, or at least I hoped they didn't sag when I was no longer producing milk, I was hoping my skin would retract but that was only hoping for a miracle. I sighed loudly, gently relaxing more into the sheets as I released a small yawn before rolling on my side and hiking one of my legs onto the bed while leaving the other one falling off, I was comfortable on this gigantic, empty bed and I was a little anxious to have it filled with two bodies, I wonder if Barry slept naked... I find myself naked at night sometimes. 

I didn't move a muscle, too comfortable to look and see what Barry was doing or how the children were hold up with their bottles. I wanted to sleep the day way and while that wasn't a problem, I knew that Barry would be wanting me to get up so I could watch the children while he went to talk to his father about something unimportant if you asked me. It was either his rank, the pack, or the next shipment of food, medical things, shelter supplies, etc. coming in. As stressful as everything seemed to be, Barry seemed to talk it with ease, including complaints about something within the pack and while I was happy he was easily handling everything, it worried me. The door to the hut opened and I opened my eyes to see who had entered, no surprise that Abbigail had come stumbling in with a smug expression on her face, she burped and laughed loudly before dropping her handleless clutch to the floor. 

She leaned against the wall and heavily slammed the door, making me frown largely as I slowly pulled myself to my hands and knees to get a better look at her. Abbigail was dressed in a strapless, black top that was skintight and showed her hardened nipples while making her breast look double their size, the shirt was low enough to show the swells of her breast, and to top that off, her breast were sagging only the slightest and it was easy to see that the bra she wore when she left was no longer on her body. She also wore a pair of shiny blue disco spandex jeans, which clutched every little part of her lower body and showed more than what a gay man could stand to see. She finished her attire with a pair of knee-high platform heels that added five inches to her height, her hair was a lighter color because she had decided to quickly bleach it before heading out with a group of unruly friends. 

Her mascara was smudged along the corner of her eyes with her expression mostly hazed over and a smug smile on her face, her face was flustered and her cheeks were flushed but what really messed me up was some of her smeared lipstick that had managed to find it's way off her lips and onto her left cheek. She looked like a used whore through and through, it was only the late afternoon and to see her this way before dusk, I was shocked that Alpha wasn't stomping into the hut because of people complaining or just telling him so he'd know what was going on.

I looked over at Barry as he moved closer to the door then halted his rocking and patting of Quincy's butt to stare at her, the stare he gave her was readable of many things, including embarrassment and anger, I was disgusted at the sight of her as she leaned against the door and only laughed harder. I looked back at Barry, wondering what his next move was as he only stood there and stared at her, probably something I would do because I would be shock that this was happening right now. Abbigail was never classy but she was never this trashy either, she at least held back when it came to showing off her between-the-legs cleavage but even now, she proudly presented herself for anyone that would look. 

"Heeee..." She tried to speak before scrunching up her nose and laughing loudly. "What's uuuuuu..."

"Abbigail... are you drunk?" Barry asked.

"No dip, Sherlock." I said, giving him a 
are you blind, you dumbass
 look.

Barry cut me a look before turning his attention back to Abbigail, who only cocked her head before stumbling away from the wall by the door, I only stared at her in disbelief because she was drunk and was suppose to be 
pregnant
, did you guys forget? Did she forget? Barry sat Quincy in his crib before moving over to the bed as Abbigail shook her head while stumbling toward the California King bed that I was laying on as well, she ran into him and grabbed onto his shoulders before pulling him close for a drunken kiss, Barry curled his lip and pulled away as the smell of liquor and male cologne lingered on her.  

"Give me a kiiii..." She whined annoyingly, making me curl my own lip as I sat back on my knees and stared at her in disbelief. 

"You're drunk, Abby." He pushed her away and took a step back. "There's a fucking baby inside of you, and you're drunk!" 

"Nu-uh! I am not... drun..." She muttered, shooting him a glare before finally turning to see me stare at her in disgust while sitting on my knees on the bed. "The fuck you lookin... a... a... at, bitchhhhh." She slurred, making me raise an eyebrow.

"You're suppose to be pregnant, remember?" I said in a calming tone, watching as she stared at me with her head cocked and her mouth slightly gaped, almost in a confused or unsure expression that was too familiar. "

Night, night bitch

." Her eyes rolled in the back of her head as she slumped and Barry quickly reached forward to grab her. 

He carefully lifted her in his masculine arms and a pang of jealousy rushed through me as I watched him carry her to a side of the bed, I was sure that Barry would take the middle of the bed and I would be on the other side of him, as if we were a big happy family. And as you already knew, I wasn't happy with this arrangement but it was what it was and there was no way I was going to pass up something amazing because some bitch wanted my spot. I also knew that Abbigail wasn't going to be the only woman or man that would try to take my spot. My mate was about to be powerful, have a huge reputation, and be great and because of that, the women were going to flock and hope they had a chance with him, the thought of others getting in the way irritated me but it hurt worse with the thoughts that Barry would actually put others before me, his true love. 

Anyone could come and make themselves at home near his heart but it seemed that I never had the chance to do so. When I got to close, or at least tried to get close to him, he'd push me away with fear that I would ruin his reputation as an Alpha for the pack. It angered me that he saw me as a danger to him, my love wasn't meant for him but my soul was, I was suppose to be the one he was holding tightly to him... not her. I was suppose to be the one was married to... not her. I was suppose to be the only one sharing the bed with him... not me and her. Abbigail was an ongoing factor that continued to ruin everything I tried desperately to build, she was an ongoing problem that seemed to not want to go away anytime soon and that was a huge problem, a huge setback. 

"Avery," I looked over at Barry with a raised eyebrow, not realizing I was staring at their previous location, "can you get a glass of water for her when she wakes up."

I felt the urge to tell him no, to tell him to fuck off, to tell him to go to hell with her but I decided to do as he asked because I knew there was no way to tell him off without hurting myself in the process. I was torn between leaving and finding someone else until Barry realized I was who he wanted all along or staying and waiting until Barry realized I was who he wanted all along. The possibility that he would finally see me was very high but the possibility that he would leave his 
oh-so-pregnant
 wife for me was slim, almost imaginary. However, I had high hopes for both Barry and I, even if Abbigail had to tag along in the long run with us. Barry loved me but he just didn't know how to tell me that he wanted me to be his... but even now, I find myself hesitant to say he loves me because he's slowly losing ways of showing me... I don't even think I would believe him if he came to me and told me he loved me.

# Chapter Five

It was mostly quiet this morning, other than the loud snoring of a nearby, hungover whale that needed to be covered with a pillow, I fought the urge as I opened my eyes to see the reason why she was so close to my ear, and it was because we both managed to roll into Barry's spot after he had left to see Alpha earlier this morning. I remember him waking me up and telling me, and instead of staying up, I decided to get a couple of more hours of sleep before tackling the day with an obsessed father and his deranged wife. I slowly sat up with a yawn before pulling myself from under the comforters and climbing out the bed as ruthlessly as I could, hoping to wake up the snoring whale that was all in my person space. 

I heard her groan as I climbed off the bed in a pair of silky purple pajama pants and a matching silky smooth purple button-up pajama shirt that hung loosely on my shoulders and threatened to show smooth, unblemished bare skin on my shoulder. I stretched as I stood at Admire's crib, yawning loudly and reaching to my tippy toes as I stumbled a little then quickly caught my balance, maybe I should get a little more sleep since the babies weren't up yet. I glanced back to the bed as Abbigail sat up, her bleached blonde hair was all over her head, her make up was even worse now that she had slept on the smudged cosmetics, her outfit was still intact to her skin but her shirt was pulled past her left boob like she had been felt up in her sleep. 

And because I knew I would never do something like that, it had to only be Barry that had felt her up, or even herself but I was still disgusted that he had touched me with those hands when he leaned down to gently rub my left side and left thigh as I turned onto my back to look at him after he had awoke me. I turned my attention away from Abbigail, no longer having the sensation to catch some more sleep, I was far from sleepy with the reminder that I was sharing a bed with her, I was desperate to change the sheets already. 

"What time is it?" She asked groggily, her voice croaking as she looked around for something to sooth the ache. 

"I don't know." I said with a careless shrug, reaching down to correct Quincy's blanket as I passed into the small kitchenette. "A glass of water is on th-"

"I found it." She said sharply with attitude, making me take a deep breath to calm myself and bite my tongue to keep from lashing back at her. "Why the hell are you still here anyway?"

"Well I wouldn't know..." I said stubbornly, turning to smirk at her from the kitchenette. "I live here now." I shrugged with a smug grin that was growing by the second.

A sharp cry caught both of our attention, causing me to quickly moved toward the cribs to investigate as she released a groan and grabbed her head, which was probably pounding right now... I was loving this. Admire wailed loudly, his mouth open wide and his limbs kicking as he unhappily shouted. I smiled as I walked slowly, knowing the only reason Admire was crying was because his blanket had probably fell off of him, nothing that could cause me to run to his help with a diaper or bottle in my hand. 

"Ugh, get that thing! Make it shut up!" Abbigail cried, plopping back on the bed and grabbing a pillow to cover her face with. 

"It's not a thing... it's a child, they cry, dear. But you wouldn't know that, since you're not having one." I said, reaching into the crib and pulling the blanket over Admire, causing him to immediately seize his crying. 

I turned to look at Abbigail as she sat up aggressively and glared at me, her look wasn't intimidating even the slightest and the fact that she thought I wasn't going to say anything was beyond me, she knew I hated her and she knew I wanted her gone. I rose an eyebrow as I sat my hand on my hip and cocked my head patiently, I wanted to hear what she had to say and from the looks of it, she had a lot to say to me right now. My smile only grew as she protectively placed her hand on her stomach and climbed from the bed, I followed her every move as she pulled her shirt down and turned her back to me. She reached back and pulled at the butt of her jeans to release the built of pressure from her panties crawling up her flat ass, the bitch had the nerve to dig out a wedgie in front of me. I only chuckled as she finally turned to face me, she lifted her hands up into her hair and pulled it out of her face with a heavy sigh and relaxing her belly, trying to make it stick out, I only laughed harder.

"You're not pregnant." I said, waiting for backlash. 

"I am too!" She retorted, allowing her grip on her hair to fall so her waves of blonde fell back in her face and down her shoulders. 

"No you aren't, if you were pregnant, you wouldn't be drinking." I said calmly.

"Getting drunk before three months doesn't hurt the fetus, you dumbass." She said, her tone growing higher as I stared at her with a raised eyebrow. 

"You're the dumb one, honey-"

"Don't call me honey!" She glared at me.

"Okay... 

honey

." I mocked, smirking as her fist balled as she managed to barely keep herself composed. 

"You whore-" Abbigail started.

"Whore? Girl, please!" Damn, Fran is really wearing off on me. "You're probably fucking the whole pack on the low."

"Yes I am, and I had Alex inside of me last night! Go tell your little pussy friend that!" I could only laugh at her ridiculousness.

"Fran wouldn't even let you 
near
 Alex, and Alex would never stoop low enough to fuck a prostitute." I replied, watching as her face turned red with anger, only making me feel even more successful. "That's right, 
cunt
." 

She lunged at me.

                                                                                                  

                 

"Well, Avery... I need an answer." I turned my attention away from the long wooden table before me and looked up at Alpha as he sat not to far away. "What the hell happened?"

Alpha Barry had his hands clasped before him on the table, his back slightly hunched over as his face wore boredom and his eyes wore tiredness, I wasn't too upset about being called to this sudden meeting but I was still pissed about the scratch beneath my eye. I glanced over at Barry as he held Abbigail in his arms protectively, staring at me accusingly and while the stare broke my heart, I kept myself together by taking a deep breath and looking back at Alpha. I knew I was in trouble for doing what I did, I shouldn't of did what I did but I lost control and couldn't stop my wolf from taking over. The anger, the disgust, the hatred... it all happened so fast and I was embarrassed to even look in anyone's face, my eyes clouded over as a tear slipped from within my closed eyelids. I took yet another deep breath, ready to defend myself and hope that Alpha would understand, while his desire to Abbigail was slowly dissipating, it still was easy to see he liked her more than he liked me. 

"My wolf took over-" I started in a shaky voice.

"That's not an excuse." Barry said, sharply cutting me off with a glare as he released his hold on Abbigail and glared at me.

"Barry, I-" I started once more, tears dripping down my face. 

"You disgust me!" He yelled, glaring at me as I stared at him with my lip quivering and tears running down my cheeks... I disgusted myself. "What if the babies got hurt? Huh? Were you even thinking about them?"

"I..." I closed my lips tightly and looked back down in my lap in embarrassment. "I'm sorry... I lashed out... I couldn't control it." 

"You better learn to before you really hurt someone, luckily for you, the bite will heal but we still have to deal with the fact that you could release Phenine into Abbigail's blood stream... and it could attack their child. That shit is potent! Do you not know that? Huh, you dumbass idiot!" Barry continued, really ripping me a new one. "You're a fucking disgrace to this pack, you're lucky the kids are here because I'd fucking tear your stupid ass part, Avery! You could of hurt my wife!"

"I'm sorry!" I screamed, agony coursing their way through my veins and filling my pumping chest, a sharp pain caused me to reach up and rub it as I loudly sobbed. "I didn't mean to, she tried to attack me and I-"

"And you bit her... you bit a pregnant woman, Phenine is meant for werewolf battles, for territory wars! I swear you're so lucky, Avery, I want to rip your heart out of your chest right now, you asswipe!" Barry continued, slamming his fist on the table, easily causing me to flinch away as I coward in the chair I was sitting in. "God, you're so dumb! What makes you think you can do something like that? Huh!?"

"I'm so-"

"Shut the fuck up!" Barry yelled angrily, threatening rising to his feet as his eyes bubbled with anger, almost glowing with hatred for me. 

Won't his wolf calm him? Won't his wolf let him know? Why is he angry at me? I didn't mean to bite her, my wolf took over and I couldn't get him to stop, why should that make it my fault? I sobbed loudly, hurt that Barry was talking to me like this, hurt that he was treating me this way. Didn't he love me? Soft wails started to fill the air as the babies also noticed the sudden anger vibrating within the air, the sudden loudness had woken them from their slumber and from the way Alpha was glaring at me, I knew not to move a muscle. The temptation was real, I wanted to get to my feet, grab my babies, and flee as fast as I could but I knew I wouldn't even get a step away before Barry attacked me. 

"You're a fucking disgrace, you only purpose to is fuck and have children? Have you realized that yet? You fucking whore!"

"Barry!" I sobbed as he turned to his father.

"So what's his punishment? Let Abbigail bite him back so he can know how it feels?" Barry asked.

"That's... decent, or we can make him do clean-up dut-"

"No, I don't think that's good enough... let her bite him back." Barry said with venom in his voice, his anger was so strong and deadly that it caused me to cower away once more. "It'll show your dumbass a lesson."

"Very well, it's your troubles so I'll listen to you. Barry, hold him still and Abbigail, be fair about this." I couldn't believe my ears, they were going to let her bite me! 

"I-" I tried to protest quickly.

"Shut up!" Barry barked, glaring in my direction as he moved to grab me. "Where are you going to bite him?" His voice was so cold and angry, his Alpha instincts are taking over.

"His neck." I gasped in shock, looking at Alpha in complete disbelief as he nodded in agreement, the pain is the worst there. "For almost killing our baby."

 My heart thumped in my chest, I couldn't believe they were going to let her bite my neck and probably tear chunks of flesh from my neck, and while the wound would soon heal, the pain wouldn't go for a week or two. My nerves were shot and I was tired of fighting the tears that I desperately found harder and harder to hold back, I sobbed as loud as I could, hoping they could understand my pleads within my cries. I begged with my eyes as Alpha got to his feet and moved closer to watch as Abbigail smirked at me and walked closer, my heart raced as Barry grabbed onto my arms and held them tightly behind my back, I stared tearfully at Abbigail and I refused to apologize to her as she smiled down at me while tightly grabbing onto my head and forcing it to the side so that it was out of her way. 

With the left side of my neck exposed, she leaned forward and opened her mouth while allowing her fangs to drop from her gums, I squeezed my eyes closed and fought against Barry's tight grip as he held me in place so easily. Pain surged through my neck as Abbigail buried her fangs in the clean, flesh skin that was joined between my shoulder and neck, my knees buckled at the violent bite as she sunk her jaws down as hard as she could. My bite was nothing compared to hers, as I had expected, she didn't hold back her anger as she sunk her teeth into my neck, piercing deep holes as she held still for a moment before removing her fangs from my flesh. 

The entering of them was nothing compared to the exit of them, the fangs caused my open-hole wounds to burn viciously as Barry released me and I immediately collapsed to my knees. The blistering pain didn't stop as I loudly sobbed while clutching the bloody holes in my neck, while they weren't able to cause real harm, the pain still managed to outweigh my common sense, why did I have to deal with this? Why couldn't I be happy already? Haven't I dealt with enough of this shit? Where is my happy ending? Haven't I reached it already? 

"I hate you!" I cried, still clutching the bleeding wound tightly as Barry grabbed Abbigail, pulling her away from me so she wasn't in my grabbing distance any longer. "I hate you so much!"

No matter how much I screamed and cried about it, I knew I didn't hate him, I hated her. I hated all of her, everything she was, everything she did, I hated her for it! He chose her, not me and that was what caused the most pain for me, he was easily letting her win because she was pregnant with his other child and because I had was no longer important to him, he didn't care what happened to me... he didn't care about me! I got to my feet, my legs shook uncontrollably and I had to grip onto the conference table for leverage as I staggered toward the large crib with loud sobs ranking from within me. 

I quickly grabbed Admire and lifted him in my arms, I then reached down and grabbed Quincy and held him as well, I managed to carefully lift Sundai in my arms as I tightly held my babies close to me. The tears poured unsteadily, I wanted to get away from everyone with just me and my babies, a little vacation was well needed away from here, and I had only been present for a month and a half. 

"Go to the hut, Abbigail." Barry ordered, making me look over at him unsurely as he waited for her to leave while they stood at the door.

I didn't want him anywhere near me, I watched him closely as I started to make a large circle around him, Abbigail exited the hut, thankfully, and I continued to make my way around him as he glared at me. Barry took a step forward and I immediately wailed in fear, why would he do this to me? Didn't he love me? Why would he allow her to hurt me like this? He halted his step and stared at me, his eyes dropped to the triplets as I held them tightly to me in a protective manner, he put his hands up in a surrendering way.

"Give me the babies." He said sternly, keeping his eyes trained on them as he took a slow step forward. 

"No, they're not yours anymore!" I sobbed loudly, watching closely as he took yet another step toward me, I took one back. "Stay away from me! You're a monster!" I screamed.

"Avery!" Barry's voice boomed, his Alpha tone still hadn't left and it made me only more scared to be near him.

I backed away further, almost bumping into Alpha but I quickly angled myself so they were both in my vision, my sobs continued to fill the quiet air as I clutched my babies close to me, scared of losing them. I looked down as Admire started to softly mewl with discomfort, but I didn't care because I saw me holding them so tight to me as protection, I was protecting my babies from this monster that was trying to take them away from me. 

"Leave me alone!" I sobbed, managing to get around them both and toward the door. "I don't want to be with you anymore." A complete lie, it was. 

"Avery!" Barry called as I turned and ran out the door.

I held the babies tightly as I ran to the only place I felt safe, I trekked barefooted as I weaved within the crowd before easily losing myself within, which as good because that meant that Barry couldn't find me amongst the moving group of pack mates. The Medical Hut grew in the distance as I quickly busted in, tears streaming down my face, I was at a lost of words but I knew that I wanted to be hidden in a corner so that Barry wouldn't be able to take the babies. 

Stephanie turned with a look of shock on her face before she realized that blood was pouring heavily down my shoulder, her eyes widened as she quickly moved to take the twins from me and investigate the damage done. However, no matter how much she investigated and healed me, I knew the real damage was within and I was no longer sure if I wanted my future with Barry, definitely after he expressed his true feelings toward me. 

"Avery, what happened?" I allowed Stephanie to take Admire first and set him aside before coming back for Sundai. 

"I-I got... I got bit." I sobbed, letting her take Quincy lastly and set him on a cot with the others. 

Stephanie grabbed my hand and guided me to an empty cot beside someone laying asleep, she sat me down and I sat with tears still streaming down my face, a little shock still lingered within me but it was slowly going away as I realized something seriously egging at me, Barry didn't love me... not like I thought he loved me.

"I-It hurts." I sobbed, reaching up and clasping onto my chest as she inspected my shoulder closely.

"Phenine isn't a joke." Stephanie said. "It's meant to paralyze prey, that's why we never worry about a bitten dear, we'll end up stumbling on it somehow... good enough, you don't seem to have that much in your system... who the hell bit you, a rogue!?" 

"N-No," I reached up and wiped a couple of tears with a loud sniff of my nose. "I-I had bit Abbigail on her bicep, so as punishment, she bit my neck."

"That's no fucking comparison." Stephanie said, moving away to grab some medical items. 

She picked up a bottle of alcohol and I immediately grimaced away, causing more blood to tickle out of the wound and I shivered in disgust at the blood flowing down my arm and now soaking into the white bedsheets. I looked down and quickly snapped my eyes shut to avoid the puddle of blood that was forming at the end of my hand, falling along the indentions of my palm and trickling down to the bed from the tip of my fingers.

"Stop moving." She demanded, dabbing alcohol onto some cleaning pads and starting to clean way the blood. 

The burning only increased with the alcohol now touching it, I gritted my teeth to keep from crying out as the pain intensified, the agony was surreal and I felt my vision wavering as I reached up and tried to grab onto something, onto anything. I felt a warm hand encase mine and looked up to see an unfamiliar person, they were a little harder to see because I was seeing two of them but I could easily make out the soft brown eyes staring down at me as I released a shout of pain. The person's skin was tanned and they had shaggy brown hair reaching just above their shoulders, their lips were smooth and mostly thin, and luckily, my vision returned and allowed me to see the stranger holding my hand. 

It was a man, he was at least six feet with gentle brown eyes that were on the verge of hazel that bored into my own brown ones, his dark brown hair was a little unruly from him just now waking up and I felt terrible that I had awoken him. His nose was thin and long, rather handsome for him with a pair of slightly-plump, kissable lips underneath it, he was a decent looking man with a masculine face that was nothing compared to Barry's but he was good looking none of the less. 

I stared at him a moment later before looking at Stephanie with my vision phasing out again, she had moved away to grab another cleaning pad as I squeezed the man's hand tightly, I had no idea who he was but he was thoroughly welcomed to stand by my side and hold my hand. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hearing Stephanie's steps along the hut floor as she made her rounds of grabbing more cleaning items to patch me up, as well as something that would probably knock me out so she wouldn't have to deal with my never ending whining. 

"Hi, I'm Wayne." The man finally spoke, making me look at him as I smiled tiredly in his direction with droopy eyes, somehow, he made me smile in such a terrible time of my life. 

"I-I'm..." I took a deep breath as my world tilted suddenly, I closed my eyes as the feeling of my head hitting the comfortable pillow lying on the cot behind me and Wayne's hand tightening around mine was the last thing I remember feeling.

# Chapter Six

My fingers tingled as I laid on something comfortable, it wasn't the California King Bed in Barry's hut but the cot in the Medical Hut instead, I knew running here wasn't a bad idea but I also didn't want to be a bother to Stephanie when she had real subjects to attend to. I slowly set up, groaning as I reached up and grabbed at my throbbing neck, it wasn't as terrible as it was before but when I touched it, I couldn't hold the hiss in as I immediately regretted doing so. I quickly moved my hand away and glanced around while remembering what happened just moments before I passed out, I met a very sexy man, his name was... 
Wayne
. 

I glanced around for Wayne as the hut door opened and Stephanie made her presence known with someone in toe, I closed my eyes with a heavy sigh while looking around for the triplets, they were no where in sight. Panic surfaced as I quickly pushed the covers back and tried to climb out the cot, my eyes scanned the hut from wall to wall but not any of my babies were in sight as I looked toward Stephanie accusingly, I knew she knew were they were. 

"Where are my babies?" I asked, taking a step back from her and one of the individuals I couldn't stand the sight of. 

"They're with Barry." Alpha spoke, clasping his hands together behind his back formally. "They're in good hands, I would like for you to sit so we can talk, do you mind?" He asked to Stephanie, who blinked a couple of times before eagerly nodding and leaving. 

I slowly walked back to my cot and sat down slowly, noticing that the cot beside mine was occupied with a sleeping person, the guy had brown hair that fell to the nape of his neck with thin eyebrows falling over slightly tanned cheeks. He laid on his back, his stomach was exposed with a couple of bandages wrapped around them, he looked mildly familiar and it took me a second to realize that this was the guy I talked to before I passed out, the handsome guy. I heard the newly installed wooden floor creak and looked at Alpha as he stared back at me, I was on edge with him and wasn't sure if I was safe or not, I really didn't want Wayne to wake up and find my dead, soulless corpse. 

I put my hand on my stomach as it started to turn in rejection to whatever was present there, if anything was actually inside my belly, I felt something foamy bubbling up my stomach and quickly moved to cup my mouth as I tried to suppress it. It was useless, of course, you can't ever stop vomit from exiting once it's reached it's height limit, a tasteless, white foamy vomit escaped into my hand as I looked around for somewhere to put it. I found a bin close by and immediately put my head over it as a wave of nauseous hit me, I flicked some of the foamy vomit off my fingers and into the bin before looking at Alpha questioningly, why was he here... to have his turn at biting me?

"I came to check on you, it's Alpha duty." He said in a tone that told me not to get happy or think that I was special. 

I slowly nodded, allowing my head to linger over the trash bin a little longer before pulling back when the sensation of vomiting stopped, I looked at him and wiped my mouth with the back of my cleaned hand while wiping residue of foamy vomit on the gown I was now wearing. 

"Stephanie told me you can go home tomorrow, you odd to suck it up by now." Alpha said, giving me a stern look before looking at the hand grasping my stomach. "Have you and Barry had sex recently?"

I felt anger wash over me at the sudden questioning accusation. "N-No! I don't want to be with him ever again." I said angrily. 

"He's your mate, you have no choice." Alpha said matter-of-factly. "You'll get over the entire ordeal and be gunning for him once more but soon you'll realize that you've already lost. I think it's best you find someone new, like this young man over here." 

I looked at Wayne as Alpha gestured to him, and he actually had me thinking that maybe it'll be a chance to discover and possibly find a way to take a stab at Barry at the same time, I wonder how he'll feel when I let someone else into the mix, 
then
 I can stir it all up. I slowly nodded, staring at the sleeping man as he slept silently, he seemed careless in his sleep and I guess because he felt safe while awake, he slept even better. I nervously licked my lips before looking back at Alpha. I could see Wayne raising children, maybe his own only but I could see him being a good father one day, he looked no older than Barry and while at that age, they wanted to party and drink but not Wayne, he didn't seem like a bad boy... at least not in his sleep. 

I pursed my lips in thought, actually considering the fact of getting closer to Wayne and getting to know him a little better. I looked back to Alpha as he stood to his full height, he stared me up and down a second longer with his eyes squinted, as if he was trying to figure me out or at least see my worth, before he turned and exited the hut. I watched his retreating back as he walked toward the door, I turned my attention away and looked into the corner of the hut as I thought about Alpha's words, 
he meant what he said and he said what he meant
, it's time to move on. 

"Avery?" Wayne's hushed voice whispered. 

I turned to look at him in alertness as he peeked at me before looking toward the door while still laying down on his back, the bandages were wrapped securely around his torso and part of his chest. Wayne looked back at me with a weary smile before slowly trying to sit up, he released a croaky groan and grabbed onto the railing side of the bed to pull himself further up.  

I quickly shook my head at him while reaching forward to grab his hand. "Don't move, I'll go get Stephanie." I said, getting to my feet. 

"No. No, I'm good." He said, putting his hand in mine and painfully smiling up at me. "You okay?"

I pulled away and slowly sat back down on my bed, I stared at the ground for a minute as recognition took place in my head, my lip quivered as I realized one thing over all the things that happened to me so far. My vision blurred towards the bottom edges as something gently tickled down my cheek, I quickly reached up and wiped the streak away before  

"I'll never find love." I gently sobbed, reaching up and wiping my face clean. 

"Now, you know that's not true." He said, giving me a pleading look as I shook my head, reaching up and wiping more fallen tears. "Come on, Avery."

I looked up as he held his hands out to me, as if to tell me to run into them and while I would had if he wasn't hurt, I got to my feet and walked over to him as he immediately pulled me into a loving embrace. The scent of him was lunging, like firewood and grass, what a weird combination but he made it doable as he put his arms around me and gently caressed my back up and down in a soothing manner. I could feel his fingers trialing along the spine of my back as I leaned onto his shoulder carefully, I was hesitant to lean against him in the fear that I would actually hurt him. 

Wayne chuckled. "Avery, I've been injured enough times to know I have a high pain tolerance, come here." He leaned back and pulled me onto him.

I allowed my mouth to fall open in shock as he buried his face in my hair and took a big whiff, this was what having a mate was suppose to be like? Had Destiny did me wrong, had Fate made a mistake about who was really my mate? I continued to stare up at Wayne with shock as he settled his head back on the pillow beneath his head and gently caressed up and down my side, it felt rather innocent but I was still curious of the thoughts going through his head. His heartbeat thumped gracefully in my ear, it sounded amazing and made me long to stay in his warm and comfortable embrace but I was still careful to avoid his wounds as he continued to trail his fingers along my side, even dipping them low enough to rub against my hipbone. 

"You make me feel wanted." I whispered, staring off into the corner once more.

"Avery," Wayne chuckled, "... to admit it, you're 
hot
."

I looked at him in shock as he only laughed at my reaction to his confession, to think that his handsome man thought I was hot was close to being mind-blowing. I squinted my eyes at him before raising an eyebrow to see what his reaction was going to be, I didn't feel hot even the slightest. My hair had grown even longer and was falling in a very feminine way, my small breast that were barely past an A-cup seemed to be saggy to me but I knew that was just an illusion from the downward view I had of them, but that still didn't make a difference to me, I looked hideous. I had bags under my eyes, my lips appeared to always be chapped and to make it worse, my weight was pouring on so drastically that I felt like I swallowed eighty Big Macs just three days ago, and with that weight came my too big butt. 

"I think you bumped you head." I said, half-joking and half-serious at the same time. 

"I don't think I have... 
have I
?" He asked in a joking tone, making me lightly smile and shake my head at his humor. "I'm kidding, but all jokes aside... you're hot as fuck, and you have a nice butt too. 
I really hope I'm not offending you right now
." He said on quickly.

"Ha, no..." I said, shaking my head lightly, " it's nice to hear someone say it." 

"Shit, I would say it everyday... you're sexy as hell and your ass is
 fat as fuck
." Wayne continued on, staring in the distance with a big grin on his face as if he was imagining some nasty things between me and him.

"Wayne..." I said, blushing as I sat up slowly but he pulled me back to him with a heavy chuckle. 

He looked back at me and gave me a small smile, his confession was well needed and I actually felt at ease in his presence as he laid his head back but kept his eyes drawn to mine, I reached up and gently caressed his jawbone as his small hairs stabbed my finger tips gently. I dropped my hand to the exposed part of his chest that wasn't injured before looking down at the bandages wrapped around his stomach.

"What happened to you?" I asked, staring at the wrapped bandages. 

"Rouge cut me, 
silver
 blade..." It wasn't a secret that silver could do a lot of damage to wolves, werewolves for the matter. 

"Damn... how's it healing?" I asked. 

"Fuck, I wouldn't know... I just hope I don't die, ya know?" He whispered, making me look up at his face while he solemnly cut his eyes away.

"Wayne... just look at my 
fat as fuck 
butt, it might make you feel better." I joked, hoping to lighten the mood... it worked, somehow. 

He chuckled and made the attempt to get a look at it as I only laughed and teasingly tried to get out of his view by rolling on my side, he shook his head and laid back against the pillow before reaching his hand up and caressing my chin next, I bit my lip at his soft touch. His hands were smooth with a couple of ridges rubbing roughly against my skin, I reached up and touched his arm in a unprotestingly way. He leaned forward and I felt my breath hitch as his lips lingered close to mine, I stared at his nice, thin plump lips with hunger as I felt a sudden need deep within me. It had been so long since another person touched me in this type of manner and I just wanted to feel wanted, even if it was for the shortest moment of him getting his rocks off. 

"Hey, you two..." I quickly pulled away from Wayne and looked at Stephanie with a bewildered look as she paused and looked between us. "Uh..." 

"S-Stephanie... hi." I said shyly, glancing at Wayne before looking back at her as Wayne set with a small smirk on his face.

"Nice way of ruining the moment, Steph." Wayne said, making Steph shake her head before looking at me with a squinted expression, it surely is a habit around this pack. "Guess we'll just have to wait until next time..."

"I hope next time isn't in my hut, I really don't want to have to smell the stench of sex, get a room at the big hut next time... God! Can I get any respect around here? First, Alpha's making me run to West Beak territory while I'm only days away from having this baby and now I have to deal with my grouchy husband cause he can't have sex with me any longer. I just want peace... 
and quiet
!" Stephanie huffed, taking a heavy sit on her desk and putting her head in her hands.

I looked at Wayne as he went to open his mouth, I quickly moved forward and put my hand over his mouth as he playful glared at me then gave me a tiny wink, I playfully glared back before looking over at Stephanie. I removed my hand from Wayne's mouth and carefully climbed out the bed, I walked over to her and pulled the stressed woman into a hug as she started to mewl like a child. She used her mouth to muffle her cries as I held her tightly before pulling away and wiping her tears, Stephanie was always hard working and you could see she did a lot for the pack but even then, it made you want to yell out or just run away, and she didn't have the right to do either. 

"I'm sorry you're going through all of this." I said comfortingly, making her pause in her tears to look at me. 

"W-What's it like?" Stephanie asked, putting her hand on her stomach as more tears streaked down her face. 

"What?" I asked, glancing her up and down with confusion.

Being alone? Being bit? Being unsure? Having to share a man? Having to share a bed with your man and his wife? Meeting a new man? Lusting for that new man? There were many things that were a first for me, and I was sure it was a first for anyone around this pack to hear, people usually got confused when I told them I stayed with Barry and they'd ask where I sleep, and I'd have to say I share the bed with my mate and his 
wife
. 

"Having the babies... holding them that first time?" She explained, making me lightly smile at my own reminder.

"It's nice, it scared me at first because I never held a child before and I was cared of it being fragile and breaking it but... as I sat there, I couldn't help myself but to hold my baby tight to me, it squirmed and kicked for the first time and then it looked at me... and I feel in love with each of my babies from the start." I informed here.

I don't know how I went from about to kiss a sexy guy named Wayne to giving advice to Stephanie, I glanced back at Wayne as he watched me comfort the person who birthed my children, helped me every step of the way since my arrival, and listened to me rant whenever I couldn't sleep. Stephanie was a good friend and I was going to be a good friend for her, her husband was unknown to me and while I never asked about him, I always wondered if he tried to pressure her into things that she didn't want to do... was their marriage forced or did she actually know the man as her soulmate and lover for eternity? I decided to question it another time and turned my attention back to Stephanie as she slowly nodded before slouching over on the desk and clearing her throat. 

"I'm sorry..." Stephanie whispered. 

"For what?" I asked gently.

"I... I don't know... I just feel like an apology is necessary, for taking my anger out on you two..." She said, looking up at me pleadingly, as if to ask me not to question her real intentions. 

"It's okay." I said, turning and carefully stalking back to my bed. 

I really didn't know why Stephanie was keeping me for another day, I felt perfectly fine without the Phenine in my system any longer, I had no reason to stay another day but I didn't push it as I slowly climbed in the bed and pulled the covers over my lower section then laid back against my pillow in a way similar to Wayne. I looked in his direction as Stephanie climbed off her desk and walked behind it, she started going through little crates, scrapping boxes back and forth as she looked for certain things. I wasn't sure what she was doing until I remembered something about her going to a different territory, I wasn't sure if it was for work matter, treaty matter, or even personal matter and that wasn't my business if she didn't want to tell me in depth what was going on. 

"So... who's going to run the Medical Hut while you're at West Beak?" I asked, cocking my head. "Are they shipping in another doctor while you're gone?"

Stephanie shook her head. 

I rose an eyebrow before laying back on the bed again and staring at the ceiling in confusion, so who was going to make sure everyone was okay while she was gone... was she going to be coming back?

"When will you be back?" I asked, hoping she'd at least give me a verbal reply.

"I don't know... I might not be coming back."

"But without a doctor..." Wayne started with his slightly croaky voice returning, he paused to clear his throat, " your pack will have troub-"

"We have another doctor, they're laying right beside you." Stephanie said, turning and leaning against a wooden shelf with an uncapped black sharpie in her hand.

Wayne and I both lifted up to see who was in the bed beside him, it was completely empty with the blankets folded and ready for any patient that was to come in next, I frowned as I looked at Wayne while he stared at me. I looked toward Stephanie in mild confusion as I tried to wonder what was really going on, I figured Fran knew a little doctor experience, maybe even Jacob but without a doctor, we were helpless and Alpha was losing his mind at the moment, so I wasn't too surprised. I looked back at the empty bed then back at Wayne as it finally dawned on me what Stephanie meant by "laying right beside you", I was occupying the next bed by Wayne.

"Ha... Dr. Avery." Wayne softly joked.

My face paled.

# Chapter Seven

I stared at the many items before me, I was easily able to point out a scalpel, syringe, forceps, and a couple of other supplies that looked vaguely familiar from seeing Stephanie handing them to me while naming them off. I sat at a alloy table that Stephanie had prepared for me with every little thing I could need, except for bandages to cover wounds and wipe cloths that were for excessive bleeding, definitely if I wasn't able to see what was going on behind the blood. On a silver tray before me was a hung of flesh, the piece of flesh still had skin attached to it with fur and I could easily tell it was thigh flesh from a part of one of the five deer that was recently hunted down and made dinner for some of the pack. 

"Remember, Avery, you have to be gentle and not rush anything." Stephanie reminded me, making me slowly nod as my hand twitched and the scalpel jerked.

"I'm scared." I huffed desperately, my eyes trained on the unskinned deer flesh before me. 

"It's not going to jump up and snatch ya." Stephanie chuckled, making me roll my eyes.

"Just help me, I cut here... right?" I asked for clarification before deciding to not waste my time and made the cut. 

"How you ask then do it, 
very rude
." Wayne said, making me giving him a simple glare as he only put his hands up in a surrendering gesture and turning his attention away. 

I turned back to Stephanie as she inspected how deep my cut was, if I had jagged edges, and if I had scraped at the silver tray underneath the hung of very edible meat, I wasn't to based on using the deer flesh, considering it wasn't much compared to human flesh but whatever, it can be turned into deer jerky. I impatiently waited, wanting to hear the results of my test as I felt like I was standing under a spotlight, I was nervous to know how I was progressing with these basics, considering it was something I was going to do often now that I was going to be the doctor of my new pack. I tightened my hold on the scalpel as I noticed Stephanie was taking longer to inspect the flesh than usual, 
damn
, I must of really fucked up then. 

I lowered my head in shame as Stephanie took a step back and scribbled something down, I wasn't sure what she was scribbling because her doctor chicken-scratch writing was an A+. I decided to not peak and wait until she finished noting down the things she witnessed about me. I wasn't sure if was going to get the position of doctor if I kept doing terrible things like this, from my view, my cut looked rather perfect but a little rought towards the end of the cut, meaning I just gave a quick but rough slice that could do some mild damage but nothing too crazy. 

Stephanie finally lowered her board and looked at me with a warming expression, her light smile made hope swell in my chest. "
You failed
." 

I released a heavy huff before and allowed my hands to fall to my side as I stared at the floor beside Stephanie's feet, I shook my head slowly because I couldn't believe I had failed my eight test on this already, I was terrible. I closed my eyes and willed the disappointment away as I waited for Stephanie to continue, she always tacked on good things to make me feel better and while I'd muster a smile and say, I'll do better next time, I still felt the disappointment and anger at myself. 

"This was your best cut yet, the edges are even except at the end. It's only half a centimeter too deep but very fixable, harmless unless important organs like muscles lie underneath... then again, a muscle isn't really a organ. At the chest, that would be rather severe incase a lung or even the heart is close by. I give you a D-." She said, dropping the clipboard from her chest and walking toward her desk.

"I don't know why Alpha picked me to be the doctor, I'm not good at this stuff." I informed her, staring at the raw flesh and almost wishing I could blame it on the deer. "What made you give me a D- instead of an F?"

"The leg of a deer is the most used muscle, making everything around it tougher so it can run longer and have enough strength to run faster, the deep cut in necessary for that reason, definitely in werewolves." Stephanie informed, making me nod slowly so she could see that I understood. "Alright, I'm heading out." Stephanie said, grabbing up the silver tray and the new report she made of my progress so far. 

"Okay." I whispered, setting down the scalpel and leaning against the alloy table in depression. "I can't help anyone... I'm no use." 

"Don't say that." Wayne said, I had completely forgot he was present because he had gotten quiet. 

"It's true," I said, " I can't find love and I don't have worth, I'm a dead person walking." I told Wayne, setting down the scalpel. 

"I really hate when you do that, you do have love and even if you don't want it, you still got it." Wayne said, getting to his feet slowly with a heavy groan. "You got me." 

I smiled lightly, turning to face him as he stood in a pair of jeans that were a little baggy in the legs but nice and tight in the crotch, his shirt was long and sometimes, he would go shirtless for easier access to his chest and stomach wounds. He was healing perfectly, I even got the luxury of touching his well defined abs and soft, tanned skin, he was so well sculpted and handsome that I liked having him around, plus his humor was addictive. 

"I do have you, don't I." I chuckled, shaking my head as I turned toward him.

Wayne and I weren't a couple and probably were never going to be, at the most, we would be getting each other's rocks off while we waited for the ones that were suppose to love us, to notice us. Just yesterday, I was laying in his bed and about to kiss him, he left that night and I was gladly going to be staying yet another day before having to face the music at home, I wasn't sure how home was holding up but I was ready to leave so I could see my babies and hold them again. Wayne reached up and gently rubbed my chin, knocking me out of my thought train as I smiled up at him innocently, the man was very nasty minded and I craved his nasty thoughts whenever he stared at me or I caught him staring at my 
fat as fuck
 butt. 

"Stop it." I said knowingly, watching a smirk slowly plaster onto his face. 

"Stop what?" He asked, trying to innocently shrug while wipe the nasty smirk off his face. "Stop thinking about throwing you on this table and f-"

"
Avery
." I looked up with shock as Barry stood at the door of the Medical Hut with Stephanie standing behind him, she glared at the back of his head. 

She started to mouth something rudely behind his back and I fought hard not to laugh at her as Barry turned around and stared at her for a second while Stephanie made herself useful by picking at the plant by the door. When Barry turned around, Stephanie went back to mouthing crude things behind his back and I was able to make out asshole and cheater before she turned away while Barry took yet another glance her way. Barry cut his eyes to Wayne, who took a slow step back and looked at me questionably, I only gave him a stern look that said don't talk about what was going to eventually happen between us. I looked back at Barry as he caught the look on my face toward Wayne, I took a deep breath to calm my screaming nerves as I stared at the glorious man before me, the glorious man that turned 
against
 me. 

Wayne took a heavy breath before turning to fully face Barry with a nervous grin. "Aye, Barry... been a minute, man." Wayne said, holding his hand out in Barry's direction. 

"Leave." Barry ordered, not even cutting him a glance as his eyes stayed on mine, almost glaring knowingly in my direction.

"
Aaaalright
, hey, I'll see you at ten. Tonight." Wayne said, glancing at Barry before looking back at me. "Since I never really got the chance to ask." 

I slowly nodded, smiling apologetically at him as Wayne gave me a shy way before turning and walking in Barry's direction to get to the door, I nervously watched him walk away as Barry did as well. Barry easily towered over Wayne as they stood close enough to be side by side with one another, it was nerve wrecking and I was a little scared to be alone with Barry, who knew what him and I could end up doing at this rate. Stephanie, sadly but thankfully, followed behind Wayne as he left, well... looks like I have a date tonight and I was sure Barry was going to make me wish Wayne never asked.

"W-What you doing here, everything okay with the babies?" I asked nervously, nibbling on my nail. 

"Oh, so now you're thinking about the babies?" He asked rudely, making me nibble on my lip to keep an insult in.

Oh yeah? Well you weren't thinking about the babies when you had your bitch of a wife bite me, fucker.
 I took a heavy breath, calming myself as I licked my suddenly dry lips. 

"There's no reason for yo-" I started.

"Reason my ass, you're up here 
cupcaking
 some guy you don't even know!"
*Cupcaking: Flirting or being flirtatious. 

"Why does it matter to you, Barry? We're not together so I have every right to... 
cupcake
 who ever the hell I want, Alpha even encouraged it." I informed him, growing angry that he was doing this to me. 

"Oh, really? So my Father told you to find some asshole and... you're not going on that date tonight." Barry ordered, shaking his head as he turned to walk away. 

"You can't tell me what to do, you're not Alpha yet." I said, being completely honest while knowing I was safe, but not safe from a punch in the face... 
or a bite
.

"You heard me, Avery, you're not going on that date and I'll be damned if I find out you two are fucking, you understand me?" Barry asked. "Not while you're laying in my bed at night."

"Then I'll lay in his!" I said without really meaning so but I enjoyed the anger that flashed in Barry's eyes. 

The joy that I had only lasted so long as Barry stalked toward me in long strides, his steps were quick and gracious as he lifted me up and slammed me on the cot by the alloy table, I stared up at him in shock and speechless. His eyes gleamed a deadly red as he stared down at me with anger and... jealously, he was jealous that Wayne was getting close to me and what other reason was there for him to be jealous, because he loved me. Barry loved me but his title was more important, he wanted to be known for doing something good, not marry a werewolf that could easily bare children. However, I knew that if Barry didn't marry me, another man would. Either by decision or by force, another man was going to be holding me at night, kissing me every morning, 
cupcaking
 with me at ever dinner date. 

"Don't make me do something I regret, Avery." Barry whispered, pinning my hands down by my wrist near my head. "Don't make me." His voice hardened. 

"Just s-stop." I whispered, feeling my legs shake as I squirm from under him. "What do you want from me?" 

"To not do something so stupid, that's what I want." Barry growled. 

"You already have, remember?" I retorted, talking about his marriage with Abbigail, like that wasn't stupid at all. "I'm moving on, Barry, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

"Oh really, do you think so? I'm future Alpha, I'll kill him 
and you
." Barry threatened, his face dangerously close to mine, his lips dangerously close to mine.

"Get... off..." I said between deep breaths as I continued to squirm. 

"Kiss me." He whispered, trying to plate his lips against mine. 

"B-Bar-" I was cut off by his soft lips touching mine in a hungry crave.

                                                                                       

                         

I took a deep breath before gently pecking Quincy on the forehead as he silently slept, I glanced back at Barry as he slept with a loud snore that surprisingly didn't wake Abbigail as he slept next to him. I bite my lip as I thought about my situation, either I could go meet up with Wayne or I could stay here and ditch him, only to hear about it tomorrow. I sighed, knowing I didn't have much of a choice before running my hands over the nice shirt and casual pants I was wearing for dinner tonight. I didn't have much time, considering Barry kept me busy the entire time we were at the Medical Hut and Abbigail didn't even bat a eye as we walked in right behind one another. I took yet another heavy breath and made my exit silently, I walked with quick strides because I knew it was past ten but I had a good reason to why I was late. For some reason, the babies were very reluctant on going to bed, I wasn't sure if they knew something was wrong with the atmosphere or if they just didn't want to go to bed.

"Avery." I looked over as someone walked closer to me.

"Wayne." I replied with a small smile on my face as the person continued to progress toward me without a plan on stopping.

I frowned as I took a cautious step back but the person continued to come toward me before they grabbed my shoulders and pushed me down, into a nearby alley that caused me to immediately start panicking. I pushed against the person's chest as they tried to wiggle my shirt up, I opened my mouth to scream when they clamped their hand over my mouth and went back to pulling my shirt up. I kicked and fought against them as hard as I could as the person's claws extended and they buried their claws into my chest with a hungry growl, it wasn't from hunger but from lust. The sweet scent of lavender and forest rain filled the air as I continued to fight while thinking of what was actually happening right now, I gasped as the person managed to wiggle me out of my jeans that were already low riding on my hips. 

I looked up at the person as they kept their hand secured over my mouth, bloody red eyes stared back at me as my legs were lifted over the person's shoulders and they invaded my privacy. I gasp left my mouth as the person thrust inside of me, my breath hitched with each thrust while the person ravished me to their every will. I reached up with the attempt to pull their hand off my mouth but it was futile as the person grunted and groaned in a very low, throaty voice. They felt so perfect inside of me, filling me and pulling at my insides with each withdraw of their hips but the off-putting thing was that this was rape none of the less. I could feel the ground as I brushed against it, small beads of dirt scratched at my skin as the person continued to have their way with me, their hips were soon smacking against my backside as they quickened their pace to their desire. 

I could make out the person throwing their head back in pleasure but the facial features were completely unseen. I no longer fought and allowed the person to how their free way with me, their jutting length rubbed against my walls as the scent of fresh rain assaulted my nostrils to no end, I wasn't sure who smelt like this because I rarely paid attention to anyone's scent other than if I was curios about that person. The person above me continued to push in, I could feel them throbbing against my rubbing walls as they released my legs and started to really lay one into me. Their trust became hard and needy as I laid with my hands by the side of my head in the person's full view, I was scared that this would lead to something else. 

What if the person tried to kill me? What about my babies? What about Barry? What about Wayne? Did he know this was happening right now? Where was he when I really needed him? My breath hitched against as the person hit a spot within me, it was nerve wrecking right now but I didn't have a choice but to take whatever was dished to me. My life was already a wreck and for something like this to be happening to me, I wasn't too surprised, the world just had something against me and there was nothing I could do about it. My breath waivered as the person hit my spot again, I whimpered at the feeling of waves rush up my body, waves of ecstasy assaulted my mind and body as my eyes started to roll in the back of my head from pleasure. 

The sound of skin smacking started to fill the air as my mouth remained secured by the person's hand, I whimpered as the person started to growl louder before thrusting inside me once more. They pinned their hips against mine before allowing dumping their load within me, I felt the warm jets flow inside me as I lifted my hand and started to claw at the person's back, feeling of extended nails dig deeply into the person's flesh above me. 

A loud whine left me as a sudden orgasm rocked my walls, causing me to clamp down while jetting myself, I soiled the person above me and my own stomach as I felt my energy flow away from me as the person went to smell my neck with a heavy growl. I started to go in and out of consciousness as a angry growl filled the air next, I wasn't sure what was going on as the person went to smell my neck again and released a very angry howl into the air, probably waking up people.

# Chapter Eight

I hissed at the bright light that flooded the bedroom, wait... the bedroom, I sat up slowly while looking around and squinting my eyes in confusion, how the hell did I managed to get back home after what happened last night. I grabbed onto my lower abdomen as the pain swelled there, I moaned in pain while looking at Abbigail as she glared at me, she was up and ready to cause trouble as far as I could see. Abbigail was already dressed, she wore a very thin grey sweater that had a unbuttoned V-neck to show the swelling breast that were slowly growing bigger from her pregnancy. With her sweater, she wore a pair of black slacks that gripped her thighs tightly as she leaned against the side of the windowsill and crossed her arms over her chest smugly. I looked at her in confusion before sighing and looking down at myself, my chest had crusted, bloody claw marks down the front and to make it worse, something was caked around my inner tights and sure enough, some of it was dry and some of it was still sticky. I frowned as I reached down and touched the liquid seeping out my backside, I moved to the side to investigate the spoke where I slept to find blood and cum was there as well, I frowned and reached up to grab my head while trying to remember something. A heavy groan caught my ears as I looked beside me to see that Barry was laying on his back, he laid with the pillow burying his face and the covers down to his lower body to completely expose his back. His back was torn open, slowly healing as he slowly moved to look at Abbigail while she gave him a smug smile as well. I dropped my mouth in shock as Barry pulled himself up and the blanket fell back to expose his complete nudity, I stared at him in horror as I realized that something bad was happening, something so bad was happening right now.

"B-Barry..." I trailed, reaching over to rub at a cut on his back as he looked at me in confusion then groaned in pain. "W-What happened..."

"Oh, don't play dumb... hot 
sex
, that's what happened." Abbigail said, leaning against the windowsill and crossing her arms over chest. 

I reluctantly dropped my hand as I thought hard about last night, I was outside looking for Wayne and this person walked up to me. Barry's scratches were deep enough to be from claws and I did remember clawing at the person's back when they were cumming and then they made me cum as well and I couldn't help myself because of how good it felt. Also, the person on top of me hand red Alpha eyes, only something that an Alpha... or future Alpha had the ability to change their eyes to whenever they were filled with lust or very angry and I knew Barry easily had the ability to do so. I stared at him, semi-hoping that he hadn't forcefully took me last night while also hoping it was him because I would of preferred it to be him than a complete stranger, or even Alpha... 
disgusting
. I looked at Barry as he pulled himself up and displayed all his nudity to Abbigail and I, since we were the only ones able to see it, I looked down at myself and realized I indeed was naked as well and quickly grabbed the blanket to pull them over my raw nipples that ached from mistreatment. I didn't remember anything after I passed out last night, but I was sure that what happened did happen once more while I was passed out and I couldn't remember a thing other than the person's eyes being red and clawing at their back... and cumming of course. I gulped while staring at Barry with hope while he looked at me in confusion before sitting on the edge of the bed and putting his head in his hands, he groaned and rubbed his face heavily while giving me full display of his clawed, raw back that was slowly healing. 

"Don't you have to go to work." Barry said stubbornly to Abbigail, who smirked and shrugged carelessly.

"I do want to stay and watch this, then again, this is some juicy stuff that the whole pack should know." Abbigail said, correcting her positon from leaning on the windowsill before reaching up and fixing the bun on her head. "Be good boys, I don't want to miss it next time." 

I watched her leave before cutting my eyes to Barry as he kept his head hidden in his hands, he shook his head slowly before dropping his hands and slouching over, he looked reluctant to talk and I was sure I was going to hear something I didn't want to. Or at least, I thought I was, I wasn't sure where Barry's mindset was but I knew that the longer I stayed with him like this, the more it'll get harder for him to resist me. 

"I'm sorry..." Barry whispered, sitting up and staring at the wall on Abbigail's side of the bed.

"What happened?" I asked, feeling my hands shake as I grasped tightly to the covers before me.

"I told you not to go on that date... I warned you..." He whispered, slowly turning to face me while climbing on the bed.

"Barry..." I warned, balling my fist up angrily. "What happened... what did you do to me?"

"I took you..." He trialed shyly, nervously reaching up and scratching at his head. 

"How many times, Barry?" I asked, not really sure if I wanted to know.

Judging from all the cum spewing from my backside and all over my thighs, I knew it was more than twice and I was already pushing a third round with me knocked out, I couldn't believe he did this to me, why me? I sighed, shaking my head while impatiently waited on an answer, me going out to have fun with Wayne was no an excuse for him to pull this shit, 

again

. This was the second time he took advantage of me and if I ended up pregnant again, while Abbigail was already pregnant... there was going to be hell to pay for Barry, he was going to be here through all the growth this time. 

"Avery, I-"

"How many times!" I yelled, not really asking him any more. 

"I don't know..." He took a long sigh. "Maybe five."

"Five?!" I said, turning to look at him in shock. "Five times, Barry!" 

"I couldn't control it... I told you not to go outside, I warned y-"

"Shut up, Barry! I'm a grown man, i can do what ever the hell I want." 

"That's what got us into this in the first place!" Barry said, staring at me with a pleading look. "I didn't want you to go on that date, you're not suppose to go on dates with other guys... and it was to protect you. Last night... last night was-"

"Last night was the last straw, Barry, that's what last night was! There's no excuse t-"

"It was a full moon last night." He whined with reasoning. "I couldn't control it, my wolf too-"

"Don't you dare." I warned angrily. "Last time I checked, that wasn't an 

EXCUSE

!"I yelled at the top of my lungs, I was surprised no one came to see what all the commotion was about. 

"Your right! Your right! That's why I'm not going to let it happen again, I'm sorry!" Barry said, climbing out the bed as I started to crawl toward him aggressively. "I went into 
Alphabratic
 heat!"

"Barry..." I paused, glaring at him. "That's not even a word! Let alone,
 
A THING

!" 

My anger made my blood boil, I forgot about the pain in my stomach and now was ready to rip Barry a new one, the asshole was about to suffer if I had any say in it and I might just allow my wolf to purposely take control so it could bite him. I glared at Barry, climbing off the bed as Barry backed away from me with his hands up in a surrendering way, my glare didn't seize as I went to lunge at Barry but stopped as pain rushed up my spine from my lower abdomen. My legs bucked as I whined loudly in pain, I collapsed onto my knees and took a heavy breath as the pain worsened, maybe a visit to Stephanie won't be a bad idea.

"Alphabratic is a thing, last time I checked." Barry said. "I couldn't stop myself from ma... oh god, I didn't get to mate with you, oh shit... oh shit... oh shit... 
that bitch
!"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Alphabretic heat?" I said angrily.

"Alphabratic." He tried to correct me on a fake word.

"Shut the hell up, Barry... I'm 

five

 seconds away from slapping you." I snapped angrily, glaring up at him from my spot on the floor. "And tell me what the hell your ranting and 
oh, shitting
 about."

"I couldn't mate with you last night, I couldn't bite you because you already had a bite. Abbigail... she knew what she was doing." Barry said, plopping down on the bed with a heavy groan. "I fucked up, I fucked up so bad. I had to talk to my Father, maybe he knows how to do it-"

"No, no one knows about this, Barry. No one!" I said just as a knock sounded through the hut. "Get the door, asshole." I ordered, still on the floor while taking a heavy breaths while hoping the pain will dull down.

"Oh. My. Gosh." I looked up as Fran entered and closed the door behind himself without Barry not having to move a muscle. "So it is true? Oh my goodness, I can't believe it! Finally I can say, 

bitch, be gone

 r... Avery? Avery?"

I looked up with a pained expression, confused on what Frances was ranting about as Barry kept his positon with his hands covering his face, he sighed and dropped his hands to look at Frances, who cut him a glare before looking at me wearily. 

"What are you talking about?" Barry asked for me.

"Abbigail's telling everyone about you two going at it last night, looks like it's true." 

"That dumb whore." Barry huffed. "Why did I marry her? Why? 
Why
?" 

"We ask that question... 
every
... 
day
." I huffed, taking heavier breaths on the pain only grew worse. 

Barry cut me a small glare before looking at Frances, who put his hands on his hips and shook his head with a small smirk while looking between Barry and I.

"What?" Barry asked.

"So it's final, you're official couples like Alex and me?" Fran asked, his face looking very hopeful.

Barry stayed silent, his eyes falling to the floor before him as I looked at him, waiting for him to answer Fran back because I knew he couldn't leave the guy wondering or he would start speculating things. I put my forehead against the cold hardwood flooring that was recently installed during my stay in the hospital before looking up at Fran and shaking my head as an answer.

"Not yet." I huffed. "I was already bitten, Abbigail took the spot."

"
That bitch
." Barry and Fran suddenly said in unison, both shaking their head in disgust. 

The two cut each other a curious look as I looked between them with curiosity as well but dropped my look to thank the Lord for the lessening pain, it was still pretty harsh but very bearable as I slowly got to my feet and walked to the bed to climb back in. I didn't care that I was still naked and pulled the covers up while burying my sweaty forehead into the cover, Barry touched my back but I moved away from his touch as he released a small sigh and turned away from me. I glanced at him to see that he was mentally beating himself up, I cut my eyes to Fran as he immediately recognized my look and nodded before taking his exit. 

"Alright, I'll go around and start telling the pack the truth, see you two later." Fran slammed the door behind him.

"Barry..." I huffed, making him glance at me before look away. "Barry." I repeated, wanting his eyes to stay on mine. "

Divorce

 that bitch, you hear me."

"But the bab..." He trailed, his head falling low before he slowly nodded. "I'll talk to my Father about the divorce today."

I nodded slowly before sitting up and grabbing his head, I pulled his close to mine and gave him a small peck on the lips before putting my forehead against his and closing my eyes in a sleepy manner. 

"I shockingly enjoyed last night," I whispered to him as he perked up a little, even his eyebrow rose with excitement, " just remind your wolf not to be so rough and to make sure I get off first, and my ass hurts." 

"I will." Barry said gently, giving me a small smile. "I'm so sorry, I really am."

"We're going to get rid of this stupid bite thing, then you can mark me, okay." I said, willing him to nod as I nodded at him. 

"Yeah, we are... and we're going to be happy... I'm accepting who I am, Avery, for the babies... 
for us
." 

"Good, I've always loved who you were." I chuckled before gently pecking him on the tip of his nose. 

Ha
, and look who get's the last laugh, Abbigail.
