The Alphas And The Orphan

Saturday 4th February

Srar’s POV

I am f*****g fuming, I cant believe this, Ace has gone to far this time. “What exactly do you mean Ace? You are putting me on lockdown? What does that mean exactly?”

His hands are on his h**s and he is staring down at me, “I am putting my foot down Tink, you need to think about the pups, you cant keep running around getting into trouble anymore, it’s not just you now. So we are going home and you will stay in our suite for the next few days and rest.”

I wanted to punch him in his smug face, “who the f**k do you think you are to order me about? You are not my father Ace, you can’t just send me to my room.”

“No Star, I am not your father, but I am your husband and the father of your children. They come first, you need to take care of yourself.”

I have never been this angry before. The lights flicker and there is a flash of lightning outside, but it doesn’t stop him from digging himself even deeper.

“Tink, you know how you can be, you don’t know how to delegate yet, you always run around doing everything for everyone, your the Luna now, other people can do the running for you.”

The lightbulbs in the kitchen explode, thunder crashes outside, Lexi rushes into the room and looks at the two of us, “what the actual f**k guys? I can hear you screaming from next door. What’s going on?”

I looked at him, “ask your controlling a*****e of a brother, he’s the one that thinks I’m a bad mother and can’t look after myself.” I stormed out of the room and stamped up the stairs.

I slammed the door to the bedroom, curled up on the bed, and burst into tears. a few minutes pass and I hear the door open, “baby?” Lexi lies down behind me and pulls me back into his chest, Strom purrs deep in his chest.

“It’s going to be okay baby, I promise, please don’t cry love.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I turned over and buried my face in his chest, “he doesn’t trust me to make the right decisions, he is treating me like a child.” he strokes my back, storm is still purring in my ear.

Lexi sighs, “he doesn’t mean to be a d**k baby, you know what he is like, he has the weight of the world on his shoulders and sometimes he doesn’t know how to handle it.”

Kissing my hair, he continues, “finding out we are going to be dads has made us all go into protective mode, and we all agree we need to lighten your load a little, take care of you more, and that all he is trying to do, he just went about it the wrong way.”

“The stupid thing is, I had already decided to go home. They can link me if one of the girls goes into labor or their powers go loopy, but before I could even talk to you guys, he starts talking to me like I’m stupid and ordering me to the suite.”

Lex cups my chin and k****s my lips, “talk to him baby, we love you so much that we worry something will happen to you, especially now. When you have both calmed down you need to calmly talk about it, tell him how he makes you feel.”

“You sound like Ashton, calming everyone down.” he grinned at me, “don’t tell him, he will want to start training my warriors.”

We lay there for a while holding each other, “Lexi? Will you take me home please?”

He gets up and pulls me to my feet, lifting me by the waist. He wraps my legs around his waist and carries me down the stairs. We hear Amanda yelling at Ace in the kitchen, and then I hear Ace crying and it breaks my heart.

“Put me down baby, I can’t listen to him cry.” he smiles at me and pecks my lips, “that’s my Luna, I will get rid of the warrior mother. I love you baby.”

I slid down him and we headed to the kitchen, Amanda was letting rip, “She’s the best thing that ever happened to you and you are f*****g it up…..”

I put my hand on her shoulder, “That’s enough Amanda, can you give us some space please?” Lex leads his mother out of the kitchen. Ace has his head in his arms, his shoulders shake as he silently cries.

I stood beside him and stroked his hair, pulling his head into my chest, “Please don’t cry love, your breaking my heart. He wraps his arms around my middle and clings to me.

“I am so sorry sweetheart, I never meant to hurt you, everything just kept coming out wrong,” I kissed his head and he pulls me onto his lap, burying his head in my neck.

Stroking the back of his neck, I choose my words carefully. “Ace, I agree that I need to take some time to rest. I had already planned on us going home tonight, but you didn’t give me a chance to make that decision for myself. You steamrolled over me and ordered me to do what you wanted. I love you and I know you love me too, but you make me feel like you don’t trust me to make the right decisions. We can’t live like that.”

He looks up at me and pushes my hair out of my face, “i’m so sorry princess, I do trust you, and you are going to be the best mother. I would never want to make you feel like that. I will try to stop being a controlling a*****e from now on.”

I kissed him, “come on, let’s go home.” We got up and I linked our hands as we walked out of the house. Lexi and Ash are waiting for us and the four of us walk home together in silence.
