Once Rejected, Twice Desired Chapter 74

Alaia

POV

The babies and I spent three days in the hospital before we were cleared to go.

They were both healthy and happy little boys and I was grateful for that.

I was also grateful that I was 100% healed downstairs.

There was no more pain, soreness, or bleeding.

As wolves, we usually take about a week to fully bounce back, but because of my powers that time was cut in half.

And I was ready to spend some quality time with my husbands.

After all the bags were packed up, Xander and Alexi both took a baby and headed up to the nursery.

I, on the other hand, went to our room for a nice long bath.

I was able to take showers in the hospital but I never felt clean enough. A hot soak in the tub was calling my name.

I ran the water as hot as I could stand it before I added my scented bubbling oils, lit a few candles, and sunk down into my own personal heaven.

It was strange running my hand over my stomach which was now completely flat again.

I had gotten so used to the belly it felt like a part of me was missing now that it was gone.

My eye began to droop and soon I felt myself nod off.

But just as soon as I fell asleep, I was jolted awake.

My bath had gone cold and my candles were no longer burning.

A freezing cold breeze swept over me that chilled me to the bone.

I stood up to get out of the tub when I saw clouds of red smoke snake across the bathroom floor.

"The famed Amethyst wolf in the flesh. It is an honor to meet you."

I quickly snatched a robe from the hook and covered myself while looking around.

"Who are you?!"

"How rude of me. You had the privilege of meeting my father and the w***e who gave me life, but we were never properly introduced. I am Vincent Edwards, and you belong to me." "Bullshit! I don't belong to anyone."

"You will see. I'm coming for what is mine. And you can either surrender to me. Or surrender the life of your children. It's your choice. You think about that. I'll see you soon." The smoke was sucked from the room and I was violently forced awake.

I opened my eyes to see that I was still in the bath tub, the water was still warm.

My candles were still flickering and there was no cold chill covering me.

I jumped from the tub and grabbed my robe before I ran down to the nursery.

Both the babies were sleeping peacefully in their cribs so I backed out as quietly as I could in search of their fathers.

Guys? Where are you. I need you, now!

We're in the office. What's going on, Little One.

I'm coming.

I barged into the office and rushed over to them.

"It was Vincent. I saw him and he's coming for me. He was in the bathroom..."

"What?! What do you mean he was in the bathroom. No one has crossed our borders that we don't know of," Xander shouted. Alexi was up and ready to rush down the hall when I caught him.

"Wait! Just, wait. I'm doing a shitty job explaining this."

I grabbed his head and brought his forehead to mine replaying the vision to him. I then walked over to Xander and did the same. "You have to replace him! He's trying to take me from my family. From my babies! No! I can't leave them. You replace Vincent now!" "Alaia, calm down. We won't let him touch you," Alexi said.

"You can't promise that! I can't even take a f*****g bath without him showing up. How can anyone protect me from him?" Xander pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around my trembling body.

"Shhhhhh. It's alright. We will figure this out. Just trust that we will do everything that we can. All of us."

I didn't know how this would play out, but I did trust that we wouldn't rest until there was a solution.

I wouldn't let him hurt my babies.

***

We spent the next few days holed up in Xander's office trying to come up with plans for Vincent.

We were pretty sure we knew where he was, but sneaking in unseen was going to be tough.

Aaron and Jordyn had gone back home but they were on constant contact with us and the team they had sent earlier.

We had all of our bases covered but something still felt off about all of this to me.

All of these wolves had families, many of them had mates, and I did not want them to sacrifice their lives for my own. What made me more important than them?

Nothing.

My sons had two loving fathers, if I were to give myself over to Vincent I knew that they would be taken care of.

They would be raised to be incredible young men, this gave me peace.

I couldn't get these thoughts out of my head, so I decided on a short reprieve.

I took a break from the battle plans to go visit the nursery for feeding time. I needed some quiet time and by the feeling of my breasts, the boys needed milk.

I was sitting in my glider with Alex when Matt rushed past the door.

"Matt!"

He came back and popped his head in, eyes closed.

Luckily I had covered myself as soon as I saw him, he was still so embarrassed by the whole breast feeding thing.

He was so sweet though. I had to laugh.

"You can open your eyes Matt, they are covered. I promise."

He slowly opened his eyes and when he saw the blanket over my shoulder he smiled and stepped in.

"So who do you have there? Is it my favorite little guy?"

"It's Alex. Which one is your favorite?"

He shrugged at me.

"Whichever one I'm holding at the time. So what's up?"

"Where are you rushing off to? I thought Alexi had you guys stuck for the rest of the day strategizing."

"That was the plan, but we're getting burned out. Stupid ideas come from burned out brains. So Xander let us go."

"And where are you going? You want to play a game of chess?"

I knew where he was going. He went whenever he had any free time. But he never talked to me about it. That was going to change now.

"Uhhhhh. I'm just running to Jade City for a few hours. Maybe we'll play after I'm back?"

"Sure. What's in Jade City? You sure do go there a lot now. You used to hate that place."

I raised an eyebrow and smiled at him. He knew he was busted.

"I'm sorry, Bean. I didn't want you to get upset bec-"

"Wait. Why would I ever get upset that my best friend finally found his mate? That's the most selfish thing I've ever heard."

"I know it is. And I'm so sorry for thinking it. Its just that she's human Bean, and I've got to be careful and take things slow. I don't even know when I'll tell her all about what I really am." "Can I see her? I know you guys have taken a picture together."

He flashed his beautiful smile before he dug out his phone and turned it around to me.

The home screen was filled with Taylor's laughing face and just like I suspected, she was gorgeous.

"Matt she is so beautiful. You two will make adorable babies."

"Thanks. But one step at a time. First I've got to make her my girlfriend. Then break the 'big bad wolf' news. Hopefully she'll still accept me."

I reached out and took his hand.

"Of course she will. You're amazing and any girl would love to have you. All of them actually. Just tell her soon, otherwise she may feel like she's been lied too. If you need me, I'll help plan it all out." "Sounds good. So you need anything before I go?"

I unlatched Alex and brought him to my shoulder.

"Can you grab Xayden and bring him over? He'd sleep through every meal if he could. But Alex here is like me, he understands that food is life."

Alex let out a few good burps for me just in time for Matt and I to do a baby swap.

"They look so different. It reminds me of you and your brother. Exact opposites," he said while walking Alex back to this crib.

They really were completely different. But they would appreciate their uniqueness one day. Aaron and I sure did.

"Enjoy your dinner Matt. And hurry up and tell her about us. I can't wait to finally meet her."

He gave a quick smile before he darted out the door then down the stairs.

Taylor made him excited for life, something he absolutely deserved.

But she'd better not hurt him, or she'd have to deal with me.

***

Katherine and Kimmy decided that they would come and watch the babies while Xander, Alexi, and I went out for the night.

We didn't get to have a honeymoon, and things at the house had been less than romantic with all the plotting to kill Vincent.

I decided that I wanted to have a laid back kind of date. I didn't need anything fancy, I just wanted to spend some quiet time. So we did dinner and a movie.

We found a small diner outside of Jade City that was said to have some of the best burgers in the area.

Luckily the place was small and relevantly empty. The looks we got when we walked in were comical. They didn't know what to make of me showing up draped across two tall gorgeous men, but we didn't care. We picked a booth at the back corner and settled in.

The waitress came over and immediately started giving the guys "the eye" but instead being sexy, she looked like she was having a stroke.

She leaned over the table towards Xander before saying "I'm Trina, your server tonight. What can I get for you this evening, handsome?"

"Three cheese burgers. Two with fries and one with onion rings. And three shakes, chocolate, vanilla, and one strawberry. Thanks," I said with a sickly sweet smile.

She gave me a fake smile and eye roll before she leaned to Alexi.

"Would you like anything else?"

"Some breathing room would be nice," he told her.

I couldn't hide my laugh at the look on her face. You would have thought that he was the first man to ever turn her down.

She turned and stormed off behind the counter which made me laugh harder.

"Well played, babe. I think you have officially ruined her night."

"She'll get over it," he said while placing a light kiss on my neck.

I hadn't had s*x in almost a week and my body clearly knew what it wanted.

When his lips touched my skin, it set of that delicious fire down in my belly and my whole body shivered.

Xander leaned close to me and whispered, "I can smell you already, Little One. Do you want us to make you c*m in this diner? Knowing that the waitress could walk over at any minute?"

They both were trailing a hand up my thighs getting closer and closer to my center.

I knew I was already wet and that I was going to leave a puddle in the booth when I left. It would be a nice parting gift to the waitress.

They had my dress pushed up over my thighs exposing me to the cool air of the diner.

Alexi reached down and slipped a finger in the crotch of my panties and in a swift move, he had ripped them off.

"I don't think you should wear these anymore Angel. They just get in the way. Don't you agree?"

He was rubbing circles around my c**t with one of his fingers and all I could do in response was nod.

"Good girl."

Xander, not wanting to be left out reached down and easily found my soaked juicy slit and slipped two fingers inside.

He sunk down as deep as he could and began to scissor and twirl his fingers.

"I love how tight you are, baby. Will you c*m for us?"

Alexi gently pinched down on my bud and I jumped in response casing the waitress to shoot us a look of disgust from behind the counter.

f**k her.

My head fell back and a deep moan slipped past my lips. I was on fire and so close to feeling that delicious burn of release.

Alexi changes his angle and somehow pressed directly on my most sensitive spot.

When he felt my body tremble he smiled and pressed down even harder.

That was it.

I grabbed his face and pulled him in for a kiss as I screamed into his mouth.

Neither him or Xander stopped moving and my body was squirting all over their hands.

"You're so beautiful when you c*m, Angel."

Alexi brought his fingers up and ran them past my lips before shoved them into his mouth. "Delicious."

"Would you like to taste, Little One? I know you're hungry. Open."

My mouth dropped open and Xander ran his thick fingers over my tongue.

"Suck it all off, baby. That's it."

He had grabbed the back and my head and was looking right in my eyes while I sucked his fingers clean.

I twirled my tongue and hollowed out my cheeks, wishing these fingers were his dick. But the night was still young.

I didn't even notice that the waitress had returned with our food until I heard Alexi speak.

"Thanks Trixi. These look great."

"It's Trina, not Trixi."

He gave her his sexiest smile and leaned forward causing her eyes to bulge.

"Is it? I don't really care one way or the other. Thanks Trixi."

She stormed off again while the guys laughed.

"That was mean, Alexi," I told him while lightly slapping his chest.

"It was. But she was rude to my wife, and I don't stand for that shit. Now let's eat these burgers and get to the movies. I'm going to f**k you until you scream, Angel.
