Second Assault — Bond And Treason —

Chapter 30 - Now What?

Meeting room, 12:25 p.m.

XANDER

With nothing more to say, everyone rushes out, except for Yaakov, Magnus, and myself. My Alpha has

been exceptional to me since Angelo rescued me, he has never pressured me, never insisted that I talk

about everything that happened while I was in captivity. He has been a gentleman in every sense of the

word and today was no exception.

He stood by my side, letting me know that I could count on his support if all this became too much for

me. I won't lie, I almost threw in the towel on several occasions, especially the times he wasn't by my

side, but I just... I just couldn't.

«You're alone, you little whore. You're broken. You're dirty». And yes, I was.

But it's different now. I feel strong enough to stand beside him and also to offer whatever help is

necessary to end, once and for all, the power that Dimitri has earned in the dirtiest and most cruel way,

going beyond anyone else to achieve his goals. Well, no more.

—Are you okay? — I can read the concern on his face, while he leaves a slight kiss on the back of my

hand.

—Yes. I'm fine, honey — I smile, stand, and sit on his lap —. It's a tremendous advance you've

managed to discover — I stroke his cheek and he wraps those strong arms around my waist —. Just

promise me you'll stay safe, Magnus. Please.

—All thanks to you, kitty. And besides, I told you before, I'm a hard nut to crack — smiles smugly —.

On top of that, we have the surprise factor on our side, the motherfucker won't see the punch until it

hits him in the face.

He leans up and kisses me gently. A stream shoots through my body instantly, I wish he could hold me

forever like this, next to him. Until the third wheel, which we had completely forgotten about, clears the

throat, causing us to separate.

—I don't mean to be rude, but if you're going to continue, tell me to be ready — Yaakov takes the

phone out of his pocket and aims it in our direction —. Lev told me to capture any sex act between you

two in exchange for a very good reward — he laughs amusingly —. And I like his rewards a lot.

Magnus laughs out loud, I hide my embarrassed face in his neck. Lev is shameless.

—Don't even think about it, the only one who can see this ass... — Magnus brings the hands to my ass

and squeezes, getting me to scream in surprise —. It's me. So you can already deal with the

disappointment.

—Magnus! — I jump up and punch his shoulder —. You're an idiot. And you... — I turn to Yaakov, with

a finger in front of him —. A complete pervert — Without waiting for an answer, I rush out of the

meeting room, although I could hear Magnus' laugh perfectly as I left. Traitor.

I am immersed in my thoughts, walking through the corridors, when in the distance, I can distinguish

Lev and Fredek. They are both very close and talking in what seems to be whispers, so concentrated

on it, that it allowed me to hear part of the conversation before they noticed my presence.

—Are you crazy? — Lev's scolding him, mumbling —. You can't take that many suppressors, Fred. It

could hurt you.

—I know — Fredek grunts back —. But I need both of them to help me get through my heat. Without

Angelo, I don't... — at that moment, his gaze is fixed on mine, his eyes opening wide in awe —.

Xander... — Lev turns quickly and gives me a nervous smile. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that

these two are up to something. And that's something I'm willing to find out.

—Hello, baby boy — Lev sees Fred and they both share a strange conspiratorial gaze —. Uh... Does

Alex want anything else?

—What are you two up to? — I completely ignore his question, cross the arms over my chest, and

narrow the eyes —. And what does Angelo Dalaras have to do with it?

—Shh! — Lev hisses, placing a finger on his lips, gesturing me to be quiet —. Lower your voice.

—Why? Everyone here knows about him. What's the secret?

—Xander — Fred starts —. It's kind of hard to explain. He's moving towards me, slowly. But I need you All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

to keep silent, for now — Well, now I'm getting worried. Is Fredek in some kind of danger that Magnus

doesn't know about? Besides, of course, the obvious one with Dimitri? But if so, what does Angelo

Dalaras have to do with any of this?

—Why? — I'm demanding.

—Well, I... — Fred runs a hand over the back of his neck with a nervousness —. Xander, it's just...

—If you don't tell me what's going on... — I didn't wish to go this far, but they're leaving me no choice

—. I'll go to Magnus right now. I'm sure he'll get you to talk.

—All right, calm down — Lev raises the hands and signs with the head in the direction of the corridor

—. Come, follow us — A few steps later, we enter his room and Lev locks the door. They sit on the

edge of the bed, and I do so on the dresser chair, facing them.

—Well? — breaking the silence, crossing my arms again —. I'm waiting.

—Angelo is my partner — Fredek suddenly drops the bomb and the breath gets caught in my throat.

My gaze falls between the two of them repeatedly, hoping that at some point, they'll tell me it's a joke.

But in the end, it never happens.

—But what are you talking about? — A scowl forming between my eyebrows —. You told me it was

Derek.

—That's the problem, Xander — Fred sighs wearily, eyes drop to his hands, twitching on his lap. Then,

he lifts it and connects it to mine —. Derek's my partner too.

—Wait a fucking second — I extend a hand to stop him —. Fredek Magnus, if this is a joke, I

appreciate you ending it now — I look from Lev to Fredek again as my brain tries to process all this, but

in their faces, I see only severity —. Please, tell me this is a joke — I beg them. Lev denies with the

head, biting his lower lip, Fred just stirs uncomfortably on the mattress. I stand up and walk around,

trying to understand what the fuck is going on. My throat burns through the poor attempt to get air into

my lungs and I'm sweating like a goddamn fountain.

—Relax, Xander — Lev stands in front of me and holds my shoulders firmly —. Breathe, you're about

to have a panic attack.

—Can you blame me? — I try to scream, but the lack of air makes it barely come out in a heavy gasp

—. Do you have any idea how Magnus will react when he finds out? My God, just thinking about it

gives me goosebumps.

—Yeah, well. How do you think I feel? — Fred gets up and I can see his eyes getting wet —. I didn't

choose this, okay? It just happened. You know perfectly well we're not capable of choosing our

partners, the moon sends them to us — tears fall from his cheeks —. I can't do anything about it,

Xander. I need them. I want them with me, both of them. And this fucking heat is only making it worse

— he runs the hands through his hair, frustrated.

—Are you in heat?! — This time I can scream, although my throat is reproaching me for the action.

—Since yesterday... — Fred nods in a whisper.

—And this reckless boy took an absurd amount of suppressors so that it wouldn't be so obvious —. Lev

adds with annoyance and reproach in the voice.

—What? — I ask, puzzled —. Why?

—Because I wanted to know what Alexei had discovered. Also... — he wipes away the tears with the

back of the hands and adds quietly —. I love them both — My mouth opens and closes like a fish and I

can only imagine how ridiculous I look. Lev chuckles a little and before speaking, I know exactly what

he's going to say.

—Hey, but you do have a sweet tooth — I nudge him jokingly in the side and he laughs louder —.

What? — asks me with feigned innocence —. You have to admit, baby boy, Fred hit the jackpot. Two

handsome men with incredible bodies, completely sexy and well equipped are his partners. And best of

all, they're corresponding, you don't see that every day — I knew it. He's a pervert.

—And how do you know they're well equipped? — surprise reflected in my voice.

—Because I could see Fred limping this morning — Lev started cackling, and then I started laughing

when I saw Fredek's embarrassed face, who then started chuckling at us too.

By God, despite all the supposed advantages mentioned, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. I love

Magnus and I'm completely happy to be exclusive to him, just as he is to me. I couldn't imagine sharing

him with anyone else, or him doing the same with me.

After all, it's true... Mother Moon is never wrong.

We spent some time there, talking about irrelevant things, trying to cool down the atmosphere and

forget about the many problems that seem to surround us lately. But then, about an hour later, the

smell of Fredek began to be stronger and stronger, indicating that the effect of the suppressors was

slowly coming to an end.

—You must go to your room now, baby — Lev suggests —. It's not safe for you to go around without

your Alphas.

—Maybe I should ask Derek to come with me — Fred whispers with concern.

—I don't know, Fred. I think Magnus sent him with Nikon to set up the weapons charges for the

mission.

—Fuck... — Lev bites his lip nervously —. Well, but anyway, the claim is done. Right?

—Is it?! — I'll lose my voice from all that shouting in a day, and this time, it won't be intentional.

—Yes, Xander — he nods sorrowfully and then lowers the collar of the shirt, exposing two pink half-

moon marks, one on the nape and the other on the skin of the shoulder, near his pulse.

—Those suppressors are very good. I can't truly detect any of their scents on you.

—And the heat makes it worse — Lev intervenes —. His smell gets so intense that it outshines his

Alphas.

—Stop looking at me like I'm an alien, you idiots — Holds his body, feeling exposed.

—How long does your heat last, Fred?

—Three days.

—Thank goodness! Can you imagine it will last longer? — Lev laughs, banging his knee repeatedly —.

The poor guy would be left with no ass.

And there, again, we're all laughing like fools.

Shortly afterward, once we'd calmed down, Lev and I escorted Fred to his room, him making sure to

pass the lock to avoid any unexpected visits.

Hours later, the sun is already setting and Lev and I have been going around and around, helping in

any way we can with the preparations for the attack on Dimitri.

I'm exhausted and I feel dirty for having sweated so much. My shirt looks like a painter's board and my

hair points everywhere. I want to take a good shower, eat and drop dead on the mattress.

—How is he supposed to tell Magnus? — Lev asks as we head to his room.

—I have no idea — I take a deep breath —. But what I'm certain of is that he won't be at all happy once

he finds out.

—I know. Alex has protected Fred's ass since ancient times — he runs a hand through his hair, which

is in a similar state to mine —. Whenever there was an interested party, he always ensured to scare

them away with threats we all knew he was perfectly capable of fulfilling. Others, the more cowardly

ones, would run away on their own when they heard his last name.

—Wow, I had no idea. It must have been very lonely for him.

—You're telling me, baby boy. Getting through the heat alone must have been terrible.

—Yes... I can imagine — I whisper, if only Lev knew —. The thing is, the longer he keeps it a secret,

the worse it would be — we stop outside his room.

—I support you completely, but put yourself in his shoes. What is he supposed to do? Go to Alex and

tell him... — he clears the throat and does the worst imitation of Fred I've ever seen —.Hey, bro. You

know, I was taking a nice walk in the garden. And guess what happened? — He opens wide the eyes

and sharpens the voice, his ridiculous expression makes me laugh —. I realized that Angelo Dalaras

and Derek Von Kleist are my partners, I am in heat and by the way, they already claimed me!

—What the fuck?!

FREDEK

After Xander and Lev left, I took a quick shower and laid down on my bed, trying to calm down. Twenty

minutes went by and I already felt my excitement grew more and more, heat expanding through my

body as the images of the day before with Angelo and Derek repeated over and over in my mind.

The way they were touching me everywhere, whispering things in my ear, feeling them both inside my

body. Damn it, now I'm painfully hard and need my Alphas' attention. My fox is howling in pain at not

having anyone to help us.

All this is so difficult, I wish I could be in control of things for once and have the power to decide the

best way to solve things. But no, right now, the problem is beyond me and I have no idea what I'm

supposed to do. And the uncertainty causes me to feel powerless and worried.

If only I had... I listen to my phone from the small bedside table, the screen shows it's Angelo and my

heart jumps for joy. Yesterday, he made sure to give it to me before leaving, and although I was

saddened to be separated from him, the determination when he assured me he would return, helped

cool me down a bit. But just a little. I quickly hit the green button to answer the call.

—Hello?

—"Hello, my cute foxy. I missed you". I smile like an idiot at his words, my chest swells with happiness.

—So do I.

—"Really? I'm glad to hear that. I was worried about you, a lot happened yesterday and I hope you

understand why I couldn't stay with you".

—Yes, I do.

—"Hey, but don't get discouraged. Better tell me where you are".

—Huh? Are you at the base? From the excitement, I jumped into bed and almost fell. He laughs and

his deep, rich voice gives me a pleasant chill.

—"Yes, your brother called me and I came as fast as I could. Though it wasn't what I expected. Tell me

where you are, foxy. I want to see you".

—In my room. The effects of my heat became very noticeable, so Lev and Xander advised me not to

leave here.

—"Perfect. I'll call Derek to come with me".

—Okay. And Angelo?

—"Yeah?".

—Hurry, please.

—"Sure thing, foxy. Just wait a little longer".

I was honestly surprised that Angelo had the consideration to call Derek. It seems that both of them

have taken quite well to share their Omega, the relief I feel is immense. The story Mrs. Ewa told me left

many questions unanswered. But the fact that the Omega died because she could not be with her two

loved ones caused deep sadness inside me.

Though I understand it. Now, that I was able to experience some of her suffering, I know perfectly well

how she must have felt at the time. Just the thought that I can't be with any of them is devastating. A

big knot is created in my throat and my heart is squeezed inside my chest. Several minutes go by and

I'm already starting to despair. I'm walking around my room nonstop and the anticipation is killing me.

Annoyed, I turn and walk to the door, willing to leave. But just at that instant, I hear the knock with three

firm touches on the wood and magically, all the feelings that had previously seized me, were replaced

by pure and intense pleasure. I reach for the handle and when I open the door, there are my two

Alphas standing, devouring me with their eyes and their nostrils flapping at the smell of my excitement.

A huge smile is drawn on my face.

—Fred — Derek nods and licks his lower lip seductively.

—Hello, foxy — Angelo smiles, his gaze sweeping up and down my body, hunger reflected on the face.

My hand trembles, still holding the knob, and I step aside to let them in.

And now? Let's enjoy.
