CHAPTER 42

2 Weeks Later

MORRIS

I t feels like a ticking time bomb as we wait for D-day, the day we finally kill Rock and his pack. I have no doubt more people will need to die as well, as people who are loyal to us are ready in Missouri to move together to kill anyone who stands in opposition of Pack Dresmond taking over.

All of our work is finally coming together, and while Kane shot a few people at point blank at meetings in Missouri, it was more for attention and grandstanding than anything else.

The major leaders who are pretending to stand with Jed have been recorded in their home as saying Rock is a better option and they hope he gets his house in order. I’ve hacked into everyone's systems to be able to monitor them, getting some help from the families here in Minnesota as needed.

It’s not been easy, but so far Rock has no idea of our plans yet. I can only hope that continues to hold true. He’s been in steady communication with Jed about preparations, though it seems most of them lie on his end.

Rock is being cagey, insisting that Jed doesn’t need to worry about what happens to Adira after they “play” with her a bit.

My stomach has been a mess since the most recent call, where I listened to him say that.

We’re all on edge, determined to live a little before April sixth. That’s why we’re picking Damon and Adira up from the school library. They’ve been working on papers in an effort to finish things early. Even university students have deadlines that won’t wait, no matter how much other shit is looming over their heads.

Jed, Kane, or I take Damon and Adira to school now, refusing to let them go alone. We all feel that safety in numbers is important. I have this crawling anxiety that everything is going to go to shit soon.

“You’re holding onto the steering wheel so tightly, you may break it,” Jed murmurs, squeezing my bicep. “We’re taking Adira out to have a relaxing night. Keep breathing, baby.”

Nodding, I pull into the school with a deep breath, my eyes bouncing around my surroundings as I watch people walk around the campus. There’s such a diversity of people. Some obviously play sports, while others are very studious as they move with intention to their next destination.

Adira put in her major as modern journalism and digital media with a minor in business. It’ll get her a foot in the door to creating more content for her podcast, while she works on her degree. Damon is showing an interest in science, and when I asked him why, he answered that he wants to create drugs that will help people based on our body chemistry.

Meaning, the idea that there are different drugs that will work better based on designation. Jed shrugged and said a legitimate pharmaceutical company would fit our image just fine. I honestly think whatever Damon wanted to do, Jed would make work.

“Here they are,” I breathe as Damon and Adira come into sight. My eyes widen as he has to pull her closer to him when someone almost hits her with his arm, because he wasn’t watching where he was going.

“Fuck no,” Kane mutters, jumping out of the vehicle.

“Kane!” I yell, but there’s really nothing that can be done, since he’s already stalking toward the asshole who wasn’t watching.

The alpha appears to be a football player, young and dumb. It’s really too bad. He’ll remember this moment for a long ass time. Turning off the car, I sigh as I get out to follow him. Jed grunts in annoyance, but because the little shit almost hurt Adira, he isn’t far behind me.

“I’m fine,” our little omega says as she sees us. The alpha who almost took her out turns, eyes widening as he sees how tightly Adira is being held by Damon.

The truth is, it’s the only thing keeping him from jumping the dick.

“Oh shit, did I almost hit you? I’m so sorry,” he breathes. “Seriously, it wasn’t my intention to swing my arms so wide.”

“Maybe watch your surroundings next time,” Damon growls, his voice so deep and dark the hair raises on my arms. It speaks of death and pain.

“Of course,” the alpha says, nodding. He watches as we approach, surrounding Adira to make sure she’s alright.

“You’re sure he didn’t hurt you?” Kane growls. They rarely are on the same page, but appear to have found something they seem to agree on.

“I felt air coming toward my body before Damon snatched me up,” Adira says. “I’m fine, and I’m perfectly capable of defending my own honor. Thank you though.”

It’s an unseasonably warm day today, and she’s wearing a sweater dress and tights paired with a warming vest in case she’s cold. I know Adira is wearing her knife along her thigh. I’d prefer for her to wear her gun as well, but she says it’s more difficult to do, since she’s not used to the weight. Instead, she has it in a compartment of her school bag in case she ever needs it.

I hope she never does, because that feels too far for me. I’ll have to work on a way that’s more comfortable for her to wear without flashing it to the world.

“I’d really prefer if you did not cut my knot off to defend it, please,” the alpha says, covering himself with his hand. Apparently, Adira’s dress rode up when Damon grabbed her, showing off the knife on her thigh.

“I wouldn’t do that,” Adira grumbles, moving her dress back down. “I’m Adira, and I really am fine.”

“I’m Bentley,” the alpha says. “I swear I wasn’t raised in a barn. My brother would slap me upside the head for almost hurting you.”

“Well, I don’t know him to tell,” Adira says sweetly. “I’m fine, I swear.”

Bentley gazes at Kane for a second as if he may know him before shaking his head. It makes me wonder if he may have gone to the Amateur Fight Night.

Gabriel wants him to attend a few more fights, but Kane said it would have to wait for a while.

We all need to make sure our affairs are in order before we commit to anything, not to be morose.

“Thanks, Adira. Can I say hello if I see you around?” he asks. Damon glares at him, while Bentley sighs. “She’s in one of my classes. Ignoring her is rude. I swear I can’t win here.”

Adira’s lips twitch as she steps away from Damon. “Most people ignore me on campus, so I’d like that,” she says.

My brows draw down at the idea that people go out of their way to ignore her. That pisses me off. Having only Damon to spend time with on campus doesn’t sit well with me. While the world isn’t the kindest place, I do want her to have friends.

“Yeah, I kind of noticed that,” Bentley murmurs. “You’re scary, Adira, but I also don’t think people need to skip around shitting rainbows and unicorns.”

Jed snorts at his words, because Adira does have a wicked resting bitch face. Even now, she doesn’t give her smiles out easily to strangers. If her pack has to work for them, then so should they.

“If I at least look scary, I’m less likely to need my knife on school property,” Adira says with a shrug. “I’d like to keep my scholarship. See you around, Bentley.”

Accepting her dismissal, he says goodbye and moves on. His friends appear to whisper as they follow him and Bentley rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

Smirking, I jerk my head in the direction of the parking lot before we get campus security called on us.

Following my lead, the pack walks with me back to the car.

“Has anything like that ever happened to you before?” I ask as we walk.

“Not like that, but people aren’t always the nicest when I walk by,” she says. “Especially when my face was all fucked up. Teachers were nice, but the students were assholes. I just want to get my degree and leave, I’m not here to win any popularity contests. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the full experience of being picked up by you all, but what gives?”

We may not have told her we were going out together.

“We’re taking you out on a date,” Jed says smoothly.

“It also counts as training,” Kane says with a smirk. “Don’t let Jed try to sweet talk you, little rabbit.”

“Never,” she says sarcastically as he opens the door to the back seat. “Why is there a bag?”

“Change of clothes,” I respond, getting in on the driver’s side. The doors all close once we’re in the vehicle, and she opens the bag, peering inside. “How does a little friendly competition sound?”

Adira smirks as she shrugs off her vest, her dress being pulled over her head as she changes. The three of us drool over her perfect tits, her bra pushing them to the sky. Forcing myself to turn forward, I clear my throat, ignoring Jed’s knowing gaze at the erection in my pants.

“There are a lot of ways you three can wipe the floor with me,” Adira says, pulling on a long-sleeved shirt.

Putting the SUV into reverse, I carefully back out of my space, allowing Jed and Kane to take over the conversation.

“Outdoor paintball,” Jed says. “There’s a field just outside of the city that does it. There’s padding, goggles, and we work in teams to find each other. I want to work on your aim while you’re in motion. Damon could use the practice too.”

“Low blow,” he groans. My lips twitch that Jed can joke about this. It shows how far we’ve come recently. “So what are the rules?”

Damon is already dressed in comfortable clothes, or we’d have brought him a bag as well. Adira pulls off her boots and tights, but not before handing her knife to Kane to hold who is sitting next to her.

“Three against two it looks like, unless Duncan or Callum answer my text,” Jed says. “No face shots, sniper shots are acceptable. Anyone with three paint shots on their torso is out. Losing team with everyone out buys dinner.”

“And sucks my cock,” Kane drawls, winking at me as I glance in the rearview mirror.

“I’ll pass on sucking your cock,” Damon says, snorting. “I thought it would be weird to watch you with Morris, but I was too focused on Adira being fucked to think about it.”

Adira finishes buttoning her pants and tying her boots, laying back with a huff.

“So are we saying that Morris and I are going against the Dresmond brothers?” Adira asks, amused. Her vest is the last thing to be pulled on, and then she straps the knife to her thigh, clearly giving zero fucks that it’s visible now.

We’re leaving the city, we’ll be outside, and the owners of the paintball facility don’t seem too concerned about weapons like knives, as long as they’re not used on their property. Fair enough. We also rented out an hour and a half of their time to have a mini paintball war.

“Fuck it, if the Kelly brothers can’t join us, then that’s what we’ll do,” I say as I drive.

“Just got the text that neither can make it,” Jed says, messaging back on his phone. “May the best team win.”

While the brothers are very well trained, I move just as silently. The facility has train cars scattered about the property as cover, along with trees and large metal barrels. I’ve already scouted out the area online, while the guys haven’t that I know of.

The research gives Adira and I a decent chance anyway.

May the best team win, indeed.

KANE

I’m searching for a gorgeous beta and a beautiful little rabbit. Damon, Jed, and I have taken off silently, searching for our targets. We each are wearing black padded jackets, a blue line on our helmet the only thing that delineates the difference between us and the green team. Since there’s only two teams, I’ll let you guess who I’m hunting.

The sound of feet moving forward hits my ears and I walk silently up the metallic steps to get high enough to see over the train containers. If I can’t see, I’ll get on top of it. My eyes move to make sure I’m not making myself an open target when I hear the puffs of air that show that paintballs are being shot.

“Ah fuck!” Jed yells, making me smirk.

Now we’re evenly matched on teams. That was fast.

Popping my head up, I gaze around, looking for any signs of danger. Seeing a green lined helmet of a large beta running through the park to get to the next safe place, I hear the splat hit before I drop down instinctively.

A solid green paint stain is on my shoulder.

How the fuck did that happen?

Alright, game fucking on. Little rabbit, you’re learning very well how to be a sneaky little omega.

Here I come.

I can’t wait to make you gag on my cock.

MORRIS

Adira is shooting the other team while on the roof of a train car. Since she’s tiny and wearing all black as well, she melts into the top of the car. The guys made sure she’d be well dressed in all ways, and Damon just happened to wear all black today, so it worked.

My locs are wrapped close to my neck, my helmet protects my head, and Adira is covering me as I distract the guys.

As long as I’m not hit, it’s fine. Hearing the displacement of air, I drop to the ground without thought.

My instincts keep me alive, and it means the paintball hits the edge of one of the steel barrels. Rolling under the train car nearest to me, I army crawl out.

Pack Dresmond takes everything to level one hundred, and they’re fucking competitive. Jesus, it’s ridiculous. I can hear Adira picking off people, and then it’s silent.

Ducking around a corner, I listen before I move. A shadow crosses in front of me, and I shoot the second I see the large body. Adira is a tiny thing, there’s no way that’s her.

“Fuck!” I hear Kane yell before he hits me as well.

Snickering, I see we both have three shots.

“Well, it's the last girl standing now,” I say with a smirk. “Hope you’re ready to suck my cock.”

“All day, every day,” he says immediately. “As long as someone’s getting off, I don’t care.”

Twenty minutes later, I hear a squeal and Damon cursing as he’s shot.

“I win!” Adria yells.

“How the fuck have you been doing that?” Jed asks with a bark of laughter.

“She’s on the train car,” I say, striding out into the large ring. “Good job, baby!”

Adira sits up where she’s been hiding, and I notice she’s about three cars down from where she began. She’s been stalking the alphas. Smart girl.

“Please be careful,” Jed says, pulling off his helmet as he watches her move to the ladder and swing her legs over.

She looks strong and confident as she climbs down, and we grin like mad at how she managed to outsmart her alphas.

“Well,” she says as she walks toward us, pulling off her helmet and allowing her hair to drop to her shoulders, “since I’m not sucking cock tonight and getting a free dinner, what else do I get?”

Jed snags her around the waist, making her squeal as he throws her over his shoulder. Smirking, the rest of us pull off our helmets, dropping them at our feet as we follow.

“Damon is going to eat your pretty pink pussy while Morris gets his dick sucked by Kane and I. How does that sound?” he asks, laying her down in an open train car.

We still have some extra time left of our contracted time, perfect for a little fun.

“Do you want to watch, beautiful?” I ask her, leaning over to kiss her. “I can’t think of any better view while my alphas are on their knees for me than watching you come.”

Adira whimpers, nodding. “Yes,” she breathes.

Damon helps her sit up, and she crawls into the car, so she can lean against the wall after he lays his jacket on the ground. The temperature is beginning to drop, and I move over to turn on the heater in her vest.

“Better?” I murmur, standing to unbutton my pants. Her midnight blue gaze moves to my hands as she watches me pull out my cock, which is already leaking pre-cum. Inhaling deeply, I chuckle darkly. “You really enjoy winning and shooting at your alphas, don’t you?”

“Fuck yes,” she whispers.

“Cheeky little omega,” Jed murmurs.

“Turn and face the wall, baby. This way your knees are protected by my jacket on the ground,” Damon suggests.

Nodding, she does as he asks, and she unbuttons her pants, so Damon can pull them over her hips.

“Fuck,” Kane groans, gazing at how drenched her pussy is. “I’ll lose a million times over for this view.”

“Come and give me my reward,” I tease him, stroking my cock from root to tip. Jed drops to his knees, his mouth opening to suck on the crown of my dick. Kane follows after him, pushing my pants down my hips to give them both more access.

Working together, Jed sucks me all the way down as my head drops back, and Kane sucks on my balls. They both know how to make me insane, though it’s been awhile since they’ve spoiled me so thoroughly. When Kane’s finger begins to play with my asshole, I grip their hair and grunt in pleasure.

Adira moans against the wall, and I watch as Damon eats her pussy like it’s his sole purpose in life. His tongue slides through her arousal, his fingers pushing into her tight cunt as he groans at her sweet flavor.

The scents of strawberry and cream, leather, cedar, and snickerdoodles are thick in the air as I watch my new favorite pornography unfold. Jed lifts his head, a thick string of saliva connecting us still before Kane pushes a finger into my ass and takes over sucking my cock.

It’s messy, hot, and as Kane sucks on my shaft, I whimper, knowing I’m going to come really soon. There’s satisfaction in their eyes, because they fully understand I’m riding the razor’s edge already.

“Damon,” Adira whines as she rubs her pussy against his face as he sucks and slurps at her clit. “I’m so close. Please.”

Her noises aren’t helping, my cock jerking in response. I want to make her come, have her scream as she drenches my face with her slick, but I’ll watch from here as Damon does it for us all.

“Fuck, Adira, come with me. Our alphas are doing such a good job, aren’t they?” I croon, watching the way her face is pillowed against her arm as she watches Kane and Jed suck me off.

“Morris,” she gasps. “Yes, they look so good on their knees. Oh, God.”

Her eyes roll back as she shudders, a small amount of cream pushing out of her pussy as Damon fucks it back in with his fingers. I can feel my back beginning to tighten as my balls draw up. God, I’m about to explode.

“Damon,” I pant. “Get her there. Fuck.”

Damon smirks as he gets to work, and soon she’s sobbing against the wall as she holds on for dear life. Rolling his tongue over her clit, he curves the fingers inside of her, making her scream as she explodes.

Kane pushes a second finger into my ass, making me yell as I follow Adira over the edge. Jed is now sucking me down like a Hoover, his teeth gently scraping over my sensitive skin as his throat muscles tighten and release as he swallows my come.

Breathing hard, I watch as Kane and Jed pull away from me, rolling up onto their feet smoothly.

“Jed and Damon have already eaten, but I definitely need dinner,” Kane says with a smirk. “Anyone else?”

“Just as soon as I get feeling in my legs again,” Adira gasps, making me chuckle as I put my cock away and fix my pants.

I definitely think our group bonding session was a success.
