The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 160
The Alpha & Beta's Regret
Luci POV
Luci woke up to find herself as she once used to, sleeping between Rafe and Jack. She was curled into Jackâs chest and Rafe was curled around her, and felt Kali purr softly knowing they were finally theirs. Knew without a doubt that they loved all of them. Alari seemed a little worried though
âWhat is it?â she asked her.
âThe boys!â
Luci sighed shed not been home all night, and it was possible theyâd felt some of her emotions during the night.
All three of them felt for the boys, they were, it seemed, in their house, awake and moving about. She did understand why Alari was worried, theyâd also not seen their boys in over 24hours.
Had lost control and left the pack, left them here to go and s******* those responsible for years of loneliness and pain. Then had woken up here and spent the afternoon and night marking and mating. Theyâd never been away from their boys for that long before. Only ever a few hours or while they were at school.
Theyâd never not slept in the house with them âMum.â She mind-linked right to her mother could feel her there with the boys.
Luci, sweetheart, youâre up.â
Is everything okay?â
Yes, you should come home though. I brought someone for Alari to meet.â She sounded very happy
It was an odd statement; for Alari to meet. âIâll come now.â She stated and closed out the mind-link, connected herself to the boys âMamma. She heard their happy voices inside her mind even before she could address them, and felt relief wash through both Kali and Alari Morning boys, Iâll be home soon, on my way.â
âAre daddies coming?â they both asked right away.
Um.â She didnât know how to answer that exactly.
Maybe later, might be best if we talked first.â
âWhy?â they both asked, âGrammy told us and you felt all happy and weird to us yesterday!â
She sighed, so they had felt it, wondered just how much, didnât relish them sensing that, and of course her mother had told them, likely to keep them here and not hunting for her, âIâll be there soon.â She stated again and cut the mind-link, there wasnât much she could do about it.
Tried to slip from the bed only to have two sets of hands grab onto her and then got growled at by both Rafe and Jack. âWhere do you think youâre going?â
âTo the boys.â She stated simply âI need to check on them.â she told them and tried to get up again, only to find Rafeâs mouth on her back and Jacks on her neck.
Sighed softly into the room, it did feel nice. But the twins hadnât seen her in well over a day and she not them. Knew that Rafe and Jack were going to try and seduce her, their bodies were already moving against hers. As nice as it was to know they wanted her and with all those Mate Bond sparks all over her body and they were now everywhere as both Rafe and Jack started sliding hands over her body
She had a need to lay eyes on her children. Heard Alari short with amusement inside her mind and then Kali as well, right before she was blipped out of the bed altogether, and found herself standing at the end of the bed looking at her two Mateâs and their shocked expressions, at her sudden vanishing from between them.
Actually laughed out loud âOh, thatâs going to be fun for me.â
Saw both of them turn and look right at her, they were completely shocked. It hadnât even been her that had done it. She was certain that amusement from Alari and Kali meant that one of them had thought about it and the other agreed and well, they had decided to move her.
âLuci?â Rafe and Jack stared up at her.
âIt wasnât me.â She laughed, heard Kali snort it was me.â
âYes, it was.â Rafe sighed âYouâre the witch, that is your power.â Watched him sit up.
She thought about that for a moment. âWell, I am a Triune.
Perhaps Kali and Alari can access my witchcraft. Kali is fully amused, stated it was her.â shook her head and held a hand out to Jack when he moved and looked to be coming towards her, a full smile on his face. âMy beasts want to check on the boys. Thisâ she waved at the bed âHas to wait. This is not going to be like when I was here before.
We have children to concern ourselves with.â
She saw Jack huff and sit back. âNow Iâm going to shower, why donât the two of you. she smirked right at them âgo on ahead and mate each other some more. You certainly seemed to enjoy it yesterday.â Then just blipped herself right to her own bedrooms ensuite in her own home. Burst out laughing at the two annoyed growls she got from both her Mates down the mind-link.
Oh yes, that was going to be a lot of fun for her. âGood luck catching us now.â She sent right back. Before showering and getting dressed.
Headed on downstairs to see the boys both smiling up at her, knelt down and hugged them. âSorry I was gone for so long.â
âYouâre happy mamma.â They stated, âAll of you is happy.â
âYes.â She nodded âThings are good.â
Saw them practically glowing with joy as they smiled up at her and then just hugged her again all tightly âWe like it when your happy.â Little Jack smiled.
âCome and meet aunty Silla.â Little Rafe stated and was tugging at her to pull her along.
âAunty Silla?â she frowned, but was dragged by them both right out the back door, where she found her mother sitting drinking coffee. Looked right at her and then at her neck and smiled âAh it is good to see you where you belong.â
She stood up and hugged her,
It was Alari that pushed forward and smelled their mother and then her head whipped around to the creek, stilled their entire body as they saw a Siren rise up out of the water, raise itself up about halfway, had long dark hair, black eyes, opalescent skin and green scales on its tail.
Alari stared right at her, sheâd never seen another Siren before, but already understood it smelled partly like their mother. Who also had scented slightly different to her. Well, not exactly different, but just had a stronger scent of Siren than normal. This was why she knew the two had b***d bonded to each other.
âSister Alari.â The Siren bowed her head. âI am sister
Riva.â
âSister?â Alari state.
âRiva was lonely all by herself, bled herself to me, I accepted her Alari. Now you both have a Siren family.â Her mother told her âyou can both swim together, not be alone anymore.â
âWhere do you come from?â Alari asked, and didnât appear to want to be friendly right away, though she was very curious about the creature before them, but not yet ready to just open her arms and accept her. Stepped right up to Riva, she was only about half the size of Alari in shifted form.
âVictor.â
Luci felt anger roll right through Alari and saw Riva back away instantly.
Felt their mothers hand on their arm âRiva was a captive, Alari. She lived in a tank, and is not aligned with Victor.
Riva never told him her name. But he did raise Silla, her human.â She sighed a little âRiva and Silla helped me escape, helped save many from Victors pack.â
That drew all their attention right to their mother âWhat?â all three of them stated now.
âLong story short, Victor had men at the lake, took me, I set his prisoners free, with Silla and Riva hereâs help. Heâs been weakened considerably by us, lost a lot of men to Silla and Riva. Donât be mad at them, they chose me for their mother, and are not aligned with Victor anymore.â
Alariâs eyes moved back to Riva, whoâd retreated all the way back into the water, so that just her eyes were above the surface, was being submissive and she was afraid they knew it could actually smell it. Riva likely understood that Alari was an Alpha Siren, though they had no idea what rank Riva was and couldnât really tell. Maybe they didnât have one due to being raised in a tank.
Alari bowed her head. âApologies Sister Riva, Victor is our enemy, hurt my son.â
Watched as Riva nod but didnât move at all, still weary it seemed, would shift and get in the water with her, but didnât want to scare her anymore than she already was, Alari was a lot bigger than Riva. âWelcome Sister.â Alari finally stated and relinquished control.
Luci smiled at her, âWe have anger issues with Victor.â She told her âAlari means you no harm, please come on out and let me look at my little sister.â
Saw her nod shift and then get out, she was only tiny, same as her mother, who wrapped a towel around her, âMy arenât you pretly and look at how long your hair is.â
âI never cut it.â Silla smiled up at her.
Luci smiled back at her âcome on inside.â It would be nice for them to all get to know each other. Felt Rafe and Jack connect a mind-link to her âLuci honey! It was Rafe that spoke to her and it sent a shiver through her. Sheâd not heard that in a very long time âWere coming to you, we need to make an announcement about you being our Luna.â
âWeâd like to do that with you right next to us.â
âOh, okay.â She was a little bit shocked by that.
Heard both of them chuckle softly âOr you could come here to our office.â
âHmm, I might be safer with mother and the boys next to me. She commented and felt amusement roll down the link from both of them at her.
âMight be. Jack chuckled âPlease do come to the packhouse, bring the twins and mother. I believe you have a new sister.â
âMm, just met her, a bit scared of Alari.â She sighed âWeâll come to you shortly!â
She saw her mother looking right at her. âDo I need to remind them of protocol?â she asked.
âNo, they are looking for me and you, the boys, my sister even.â She smiled at Silla who was pulling a dress over her head. Didnât even really care to dry herself off. âWe are requested to meet them at their office, for the formal announcement to the pack.â
âGood, I was getting ready to put a beat down on them both.â
Luci looked at her and shook her head, didnât think Kali or Alari would allow that, looked at Silla. âYouâve got your first family meeting to attend.â
âFamily meeting?â
âYes,â Luci nodded âI now have two Mateâs.â
Felt Alari look right at Silla and watched the girl still, then Alari pushed forward and walked over to her, touched her face âMy apologies sister, my manners are not there.â
âAlone a long time.â Silla nodded.
âYes.â She leaned down and touched her forehead to Silla and sighed softly. They saw Riva push forward and Alari just hugged her âMy sister, welcome.â She murmured softly and felt Riva hug her back. Felt both their boys suddenly hugged the two of them and then their mother joined in.
âFamily.â They heard Riva sigh.
âYes, familyâ Alari sighed right back, there would be no more swimming alone out there in the lake. She had a Siren to talk to and keep company with. She did like that.
