The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 36

Asher

Lying here and listening to everything going on around me gives me hope. I have to say, though, I thought that us be- ing able to break this spell might have been the case after they healed me of the carvings. Let me tell you, that was a huge relief, once the pain from those cuts were gone. I was able to get a good night's sleep and didn't wake up until mom and dad showed up. Then came the Beta trio and there was no going back to sleep with Aunt Cici in the room, but then I heard her voice, and sleep was far from my mind at that point.

Emery has always had my heart, even as little kids, I al- ways looked out for her. I knew her and Decker were close be- cause of them being so close in age but she always made sure to include me and Holder in things as well. Her smile always lit up the room whenever she saw any of us walk in. I knew one day I would make her mine, and I was ready to forgo my mate, if need be, if only she was willing to give me a chance. I never thought that I would be sharing her with both my brothers, but hey, as long as I get to have her, I'm fine with it. I've shared with my brothers my whole life, why not share a

mate.

Yesterday, when her and the witch were inside and Emery was talking with me, I found it so cute how she kept concen- trating so she could push her thoughts to me. I didn't have it in me to tell her that I could hear her when she speaks. I guess the witch hadn't realized it either. The only reason that the witch had to bring her in was so she could hear me.

Emery comes straight over to me and kisses me on the mouth and all I want to do is reach out and grab her and pull her to me, never to let go. I can scent Holden on her, so I know they were intimate this morning and now I'm jealous. Hopeful- ly, I can lock her away with me for a whole day once I get out of here, and love on her the whole time.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that I hadn't realized that the witch has shown up and they are now discussing setting me free. I hear the witch say something about remarking me and making me bleed, but then Emery is all upset about having to be intimate with me. I concentrate on what's being said be- cause I have to be misunderstanding it. There is no reason for my mate to not want to be intimate with me. "You're telling me that I have to have sex with my mate while we mark him, and while he's still in this comatose state?" Her voice is loud and clear but it's as I thought, she's not up- set about being intimate with me, but with having sex with me while I'm not awake and alert.

"Baby, I'm here, and it's okay...fuck me all you want!" I yell inside my head a few times, trying so hard to make her hear. She doesn't, but I do draw the attention of my big brother.

I can feel Holden's stare on me. Don't ask how I know this but it's just an overwhelming feeling that I have. I then feel his hand slowly come to rest on my arm. Did he hear me, or did the Seer in him hear me? I go and repeat what I was saying only this time, I direct it at him, and tell him to tell our mate that she has my consent.

After a few times of repeating myself, I hear the smile in his voice when he addresses our mate, "Hey, Em," he calls out without taking his hand off me, "I'm pretty sure that you have

Asher's consent."

"Yes! Yes, she has it! She can do whatever she wants to

me!"

Holden now laughs, "I can sense him, and he's being his perverted self, telling me to tell you to go ahead and fuck him, and to do whatever you want to him."

A few throats clear within the room, and I realize that our parents are still here... awkward. All of this is so surreal, though. I mean, I grew up knowing about Dire wolves and the Shikari, but the rest of this... the power of Four... it's just not something that seems real. And to think, I have a huge part in

it.

"Are you messing with me right now, Hold?" My mates voice rings out, capturing my attention once again.

"I am dead serious, baby," I feel his other hand lay beside the first one, "It's like he's talking to me and yet, he's not."

"Yes, I am, asshat! For being a Seer, you don't seem to be so smart, and we already know that I'm the better fuck." I throw in with a grin.

He yanks both of his hands away and growls down at me, "You're fucking delusional if that's what you think!"

"What is it? What's he saying?" I can hear the anxiousness in Emery's voice.

"Nothing, baby. Ash is just being his usual self; it's a sib- ling thing."

"Awe, I take it he told you that he is the better fuck." My

baby brother pipes in. He's always been a smart one, and very intuitive, but nothing like Holden.

"Whatever, he can keep dreaming!" Holden growls, Achilles adding in his own little growl at the end.

"Did he really give his consent?" Emery asks.

"Yeah, but now I'm thinking we should leave his ass in this state for a while longer." My older brother gets too butt hurt at times; I tell you.

"Holden Quinly Storm! We will do no such thing!" Our mate chastises him.

I hear my brother sigh, "I know, but it felt good just to say it." He chuckles.

I have to chuckle myself too. Emery doesn't realize the kind of kinship Holden and I have. We have always been like this with each other, but we have each other's back, and it's a ride and die type of relationship. She will learn soon enough, though, after all, she's now part of it as well.

"Well, I guess you all should probably go... do something." Emery giggles nervously.

"Oh, we will be right outside, sweetie." I hear aunt Cici

state.

"No, Mom! That is so embarrassing. Go somewhere far away from this room. I don't need our parents hearing us..."

"Doing it?" My mom finishes my mate's sentence and then chuckles. If I could facepalm myself right now, I would.

"Mom!" Decker lectures, "Do you need to make this more

uncomfortable for her than it already is?"

"What? I'm not meaning anything by it," mom goes on the defensive, "I thought I was making it easier by saying it myself instead of her having to say it. I'm sorry, Emery; I didn't mean anything by it, sweetheart."

"It's okay, but please..."

"Okay, okay, we are going!" Cici chuckles and then I can hear them all filing out of the room.

"So, is there anything else that we need to know aside from the intercourse and marking?" Our mate asks and then! hear the witch speak up once more.

"I honestly don't know, really. I'm assuming, like when us- ing any other power, just keep imagining him waking up? I'm not too sure. Spells can be so finicky sometimes, but I think all you really need is the sex and bites, I just wouldn't count out the thoughts because it won't hurt, only help." Her little cackle makes me laugh but creeps me out all at the same time, "Now, I'm going to step out and visit with everyone else while you all get your freak on."

"Miss Beatrice!" Emery hisses and I can only imagine her face colored pink from the witch's words.

A moment later, the room is quiet, but I can hear three other heartbeats. Decker is the first to break the silence, "Well, shall we get this started?"
