5 Puppies For The Alpha
Chapter 88

Lukyan knew a lot of things. He was a smart wolf who was a quick learner, he knew about packs and about wolf anatomy. She had learned how to try to be a good mother to her four children and her new two-year-old puppy, Aidan. But there was one thing she didn’t know… and that was what to get her husband for his birthday.

And that was breaking her head into a thousand pieces. Because she wanted to give Dante something very, very special. He deserved it, and she had no idea she could live up to it.

-…na…Rei…na…Reina,” Mitya’s voice snapped him out of his lag.

He raised his head and blinked several times.

-What’s the matter? -he regained his composure.

Mitya sat down across the desk from him and placed some papers in front of him.

-He and the wolf were working, at the time, on organizing the pack guard to lighten Dante’s workload. “He’s been kind of entertaining for the last two days. He’s worried about our birthday, isn’t he?

Lukyan thought he’d been hiding it well, but apparently he hadn’t. He sighed and leaned back. He sighed and leaned back in his chair.

-I don’t know what to get Dante for a present,” he confessed.

-You,” Mitya answered the wolf’s question… casually.

Lukyan didn’t understand and it showed on his face. The Commander noticed this and laughed.

-Don’t look at me like that. You got it right. Treat yourself. My brother will be so happy if you do something… unusual when you have s*x that I’m sure it will be the best gift of all. We are hot-blooded wolves.

The omega couldn’t believe it and his mouth fell open.

-Are you playing with me?

-Me? -Not at all. I’m very honest and realistic. My brother can be… quite simple and is so sickeningly in love with you that just having you by his side is a gift to him.

Lukyan thought those were very nice words, to know that it meant so much to Dante from someone else’s point of view. Still, it added to his anxiety.

-I can’t do anything like that,” her cheeks tinged slightly pink.

-Why not, queen? If you’ll excuse me, my brother can be a little secretive about some things, but when he’s happy in s*x he shows it, and he even tells me about it. We have no secrets, we are twins after all,” with every word Lukyan’s face grew redder and redder. Did Mitya know about their intimacy, “He has told me that they have come a long way on the subject, as he wants you to be comfortable because his first experiences were not good with his first marriage. In spite of that, I think, maybe he wants something more. But he doesn’t want to force it.

Lukyan opened his mouth and then closed it. He was making a serious effort when they made love and he even studied about it, but he had to admit that maybe he was shy in some aspects.

-Hey, my queen, don’t assume wrong. I’m not telling you this to get you down about it,” the Commander seemed to read her mind, “My brother is very satisfied with what they have now and he doesn’t complain about s*x at all. He will give it his time. Besides, he likes the way he too has to learn about every aspect of intimacy, and not do it like the beasts we are. He says it’s an unimaginable experience,” Mitya grinned, baring his long fangs.

-She seems to tell you about the s*x she has like a mystery novel,” he sighed and squeezed his septum. Yes, her anxiety had increased.

She was not only worried now about the gift, but about what her husband would like during s*x. Because he wanted to please him… badly.

Lukyan left a k**s on Aidan’s cheek, in his arms, then passed it to Fallen. Today it was his turn to sleep with him.

-No more stories until the wee hours of the morning. I’ll tell Dante to check with his ear,” he told them both. He had already put the younger ones to bed, though Matias was not in his room. He had seen him in the afternoon with Mitya, so he didn’t worry. He had to give him some space.

-It’s okay, ma,” Aidan smiled and hugged his older brother’s neck, “But at least one story, okay?

He nodded and looked at Fallen.

-Just one.

-Just one,” he replied and leaned down to give him a loving k**s on the cheek.

Once they were inside the room Lukyan sighed. He had to go back to his own, but after the afternoon’s conversation he wasn’t sure he wanted to. He used to be pretty confident, so why did he feel this way?

Being in a relationship was really hard.

-Lukyan.

The wolf was so deep in thought that he was startled by the shock he received. A laugh from Bastian made him look back with a frown.

-Bastian,” he warned, but Bastian simply slipped his arm over his shoulders.

-Mitya went to me with the gossip,” he whispered in his ear.

Lukyan’s eyes widened.

-That fucker,” he growled, receiving a laugh from the wolf.

-Easy, easy, who better to solve this than me. He saw you worried sick and wanted to help you.

Lukyan took a deep breath and gave up. They were… like that.

-So what can you do for me?

-Well…

Lukyan couldn’t remove his astonished face.

-I’m not going to wear that,” he shook his head.

-Come on Lukyan, can you stand in front of him naked, and not wear this? Come on, Lukyan. Like the two of you haven’t done dirty things together inside his bedroom. Dante is a healthy wolf with a respectable s****l lividity. Don’t play the saint now,” Bastian put his hands on his waist.

-No is no. I could never wear something like that. You can hardly call it clothes,” Lukyan crossed his arms, sitting on the bed inside Bastian’s room. Falco hadn’t returned so there were no intruders.

Bastian smiled mischievously and approached without releasing the pieces of cloth in his hands.

-Do you know how I managed to make Falco mine once and for all? -I had one, which one of the she-wolves made for me, after receiving this very advice. I was still a virgin at the time, but I had declared that I would marry him, but the bastard was so hard as nails that he barely listened to me. At least he no longer complained when I snuck into the room to sleep with him. Of course, I had help from Dante who ordered him not to throw me out,” he chuckled between memories.

-I can imagine the rest of the story,” the queen grimaced.

-Well, if you can imagine that, you’re right. I put it on, snuck into his bed and look how effective it was that night I didn’t leave his room a virgin. Afterwards we started dating and now we are happily married. My wolf is very stubborn, but I can bring him down,” he summed up the story well enough, as it wasn’t really like that. There were other ups and downs before they were finally a stable couple.

He plopped down next to Lukyan and placed the thing in his hands.

-This is new. I had it made, but I didn’t have time to try it out. I’m sure you’ll get better use out of it. Besides, Dante’s favourite colour is red, and this one looks stunning,” she pointed to the garments, which were so fine lace that they didn’t even qualify as clothing.

Lukyan was still deadly serious.

-Are you sure?

Bastian wrapped his arms around his neck and hugged him.

-Having insecurities is normal too, sweetheart. Even though you’re the queen of this pack you’re a wolf and you’ve been through a lot. Besides, I understand that Dante is… well… Dante, and he’s an alpha, you might think he has high expectations because of that fact, but he doesn’t. He’s simpler than you think. He’s simpler than you think. And don’t listen to what Dmitri told you, Dante is a patient wolf and enjoys what he can get at the moment. Dmitri is not the best at giving advice. He is the more perverted of the two, with that serious and bitter look on his face. I imagine his partner must be dry from all that s*x.

-Does Mitya have a partner? -I’ve never seen him with a she-wolf.

-That’s because he doesn’t like females. He’s too violent when he’s driven by his instincts. He prefers his mates to be males who can handle his level, especially in bed.

Lukyan blinked several times. He had been in the pack for a while, but he still learned something new every day. It would be interesting to know who his brother-in-law’s mate was.

Dante emerged from the bathroom with a sigh of relief, feeling rejuvenated. He’d had a powerful day at work, although, after this spurt he would have time to attend to his family and that made him in a very good mood. He didn’t replace Lukyan in the bedchamber, but given the hour he must be putting his children to bed. She smiled, she loved how devoted he was to the pups.

She laid the towel on the dresser and combed her long hair. She was grateful that it had grown a little and resumed its pleasing shape on her shoulders in soft waves. Sacha and Axel had been so insistent on cutting the ends that she never imagined they would make such a mess of it. He remembered how it had gotten, not just Lukyan, Bastian had them running all over the pack because of the desecration of such a jewel of hair, as he put it.

She smiled when she heard the door open and the image of her husband appear. She couldn’t help but be filled with joy.

-My beautiful wolf. At last I see you,” she moved closer to him to embrace him. She needed to touch him so badly.

What she didn’t expect was that Lukyan quickly took a step backwards, hiding something behind his back. Dante stood with his arms outstretched, and somewhat confused. He’d never turned him down, at least not in the years they’d been together.

-Is something wrong? -His smile quickly faded and he became worried.

Lukyan thought fast and turned away from him in the direction of the bathroom.

-Give me a moment, I don’t smell good, I’m going to take a bath.

And Dante was even more confused as he watched his husband disappear in front of him.

What was going on?
