Zevran.
I woke up with a start and to a throbbing ache in my cock that was impossible to ignore.
Groaning, I sat up quickly and rubbed at my face, only to pause in shock when I realized that it had all been a dream. A pretty chaotic erotic dream that I couldnāt shake off from my mind.
Flashes of the so-called dreams rushed into my head... and I groaned when her creamy white skin gleaming with sweat swept across my mind... gosh, I could still see her full round breasts that bounced whenever I thrust into her.
And her full pink lips that made an O-shape whenever I hit a spot deep inside of her. My body still tingled with the feel of her trembling legs wrapped around my waist, as if trapping me in.
As if dragging me into an abyss of danger and pleasure.
She was a siren... my siren.
But it wasnāt Chalice Iād dreamed of... it was Leilani.
Cursing under my breath, I flung the bed covers off my body, my eyes widening when my erect cock came into view. It was hard and painful; and wanted... no, desperately needed to be buried in the exact same warmth Iād felt in my dreams.
But ignoring it, I continued the rest of the morning in a daze, arriving at the breakfast table minutes later only to find my brothers in sour moods just like mine.
From the looks on their faces and the weird way they walked, I instinctively knew that we were likely suffering from the same fate as me.
But I couldnāt help but wonder: why now? Why us?
Why Leilani?
"Down to earth, Zevran!" Caelum drawled from beside me, his cutlery scraping across his plate as he turned to face me.
My hand hovered over the glass of water in front of me but I couldnāt bring myself to pick it up. I couldnāt even bring the food to my mouth. My appetite was long gone.
I mumbled; "Iām on earth."
"You donāt look like you are." He spat back, his eyes glinting with just enough charm. But he didnāt look like himself this morning either... Moreover, there was also a bulge in his pants.
"Weāre going to see Chalice today at the hospital. Iāve instructed the servants to gather some presents for her. When sheās discharged from the hospital this weekend. Weāll complete our marriage rites with her and get married." Kael suddenly butted in, causing my eyes to snap open in surprise.
One look at Caelumās face and I realized that he was in on this too. I frowned, seething; "You guys have talked about this before?"
"Yes." Kael drawled, letting his fork fall freely into his plate of scrambled eggs. "Yes, we have. And I donāt see why itās such a big deal."
"Itās a big deal because you didnāt think to ask for my input! You didnāt care to know if I was willing to get married toā"
"To Chalice?" Caelum scoffed darkly, interrupting me. "Who else can we ever get married to if not her? Huh?"
"Sheās been betrothed to us for so long. Itās only logical that we make it official now. It wonāt hurt anyone to do that." Kael snapped dismissively, and the more I listened to them speak, the more the knife in my chest squeezed further.
I groaned, slamming my fist against the table, and ignoring the way that action sent a few objects flying. Even Caelumās rice spilled from his plate but I did not care. I couldnāt bring myself to.
I spat; "I know sheās been promised to us! I know about it all but canāt this whole marriage nonsense wait for a few more months? Why do you all have to make it so sudden? For how long has this plan been going on?"
"Since yesterday..." Kael answered and I rolled my eyes.
Typical.
"Yesterday!" I seethed. "You guys planned yesterday to get married to her by the weekend?"
"Yes."
"And doesnāt that sound a bit too rushed to you both? Doesnāt it perhaps make you both look stupid and desperate?"
"Sheās diagnosed with GTD because she lost OUR BABY! OURS!"
However, what I didnāt understand was why they were willing to push up the wedding simply because they wanted to ācompensateā Chalice. I mean, what happened to their usual gift bearing fashion?
What happened to buying her a penthouse, a rare luxury piece or flying her abroad for better treatment?
Deciding that I couldnāt stand this anymore, I turned away to storm out of the dining room only to stop dead in my tracks when a maidservant came rushing towards us.
Her name was Gale and she was one of our oldest staff. She immediately bowed, pressing her hand against her chest as she cried; "Itās Lady Chalice, Alphas. We just got a call from the hospital that sheās been hemorrhaging badly for the past two hours and that there isnāt any more blood left in the reservoir that matches her blood type. Sheās running out of time!"
My heart stopped beating. I turned quickly to face my brothers and sure enough, the panic on their faces was just as much as the one I felt in my veins.
Chalice and Leilani both had Rh-null blood types which was as rare as it was expensive to find especially in crucial moments like this.
My heart raced as the words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it. I asked; "What should we do now?!"
Caelumās eyes glinted wickedly as he immediately turned to me with a smile so sharp it sent shivers running up my spine. He drawled;
"Leilani and Chalice share the same blood type. We should get Leilani to donate since sheās the cause of this whole mess in the first place."
"But... but she wouldnāt agree to do that." I snapped, frowning. "We cannot force her to do it if she doesnāt want to."
"Then we should kidnap her." Kael answered with conviction. "Like Caelum said, sheās the reason all this happened in the first place. Itāll be nice if sheās made to put an end to it."
And with that, he walked away with Caelum following closely behind him, while all I could do was stare at their retreating backs in confusion and rage.
And something else.
Something that felt oddly like an irresistible urge to protect Leilani.
I raced out of the house.
