The Alphas And The Orphan

Friday 14th January

Star’s POV

I hear voices, but so they are so quiet, like they are miles away. I strain my ears, trying to hear. “Come on fairy-girl, wake up and smile at me. Please, baby, I need you to wake up”

“Starlight, can you hear us? Come on beautiful, open those gorgeous eyes.”

“I am so sorry, Tink. I wasn’t there when you needed me. Please wake up and I will never leave you alone again.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I try to open my eyes, bright lights blind me, I try again and manage to blink; I g***n and hear three voices at once. “Star? Star, she’s waking up.”

I try to speak, but only a croak comes out. Ace brings a glass to my lips. “wh…what…happened?” Alexei comes closer and k****s my cheek, he whispered in my ear. “you found me fairy-girl.” What the hell is going on, my head is fuzzy, I blink a couple of time, then I start to remember,

“Clementine attacked me with a f*****g frying pan! She better not expect me to clean up b***h!” Ace leans over me and smirks,

“They are all in the cells awaiting your judgment Tink. What else do you remember?” I try to think, goddess why won’t my brain work? “I remember being in the forest, trying to get to the pack house, but then……..Alexei you were there.”

“That’s right Fairy-girl, you fell at my feet, so I scooped you up and ran to the hospital, it was real hero stuff, rewards should definitely be given.” He puffs out his chest “Oh s**t, what time is it, I am supposed to go to old Mrs Allan this afternoon to do her housework.”

All three of them are looking at me funny, OMG has she f****d up my face? Asher stroked my cheek.

“Babe you have been asleep for nearly a week, it’s Friday night. Mrs Allen is fine, Maxine went to help her, they had a blast. You have woken up just in time for your birthday, it’s 11:55 pm so five minutes and you will be 18 gorgeous.”

Wait! Babe? Gorgeous? Didn’t Alexei call me baby just now? What the f**k is going on. And my birthday, f**k Saffron.

“I am here honey, we have really been through it. Star we are getting stronger but not enough to shift, it would hurt you, so we will have to wait.”

I feel tears start to form but I know she is right. “Saffy says we are too weak to shift tonight, that we will have to wait.”

Ace engulfed my tiny hand in his, and all three of them just stare at me, what………….. I am hit by the most amazing smell, it’s like all my favourite things in one. Coffee, chocolate, cinnamon, cookies, also oak and fresh cut grass, It’s like having a picnic in my nose. There are tingles running up my arm, OH MY GODDESS, is it? Does it? I look up at the three gorgeous men before me and I hear all three of them growl

“MINE!”

I gasp, and reach my hand out to Ace, I touch his cheek and he leans into my palm. I reach my other hand to Ashton and look at Alexei, he leans his forehead against mine. “your mine? All of you?”

“yes baby, all yours, forever.”

I feel myself being lifted carefully and then I am on Ace’s lap, I put my arms around his neck and we hold each other. His hands rub up and down my back. “I am so sorry we weren’t there to save you Tink.” I lean back and cup his face, touching our foreheads together. “it’s not your fault, any of it, please don’t put the blame on yourself”

He looks so sad, I can’t help myself, I press my lips to his, his eyes widen for a second before they darken, he cups the back of my neck and deepens the k**s pushing his tongue into my mouth, “mmmmm,” I g***n, I am lifted and put on Lexi’lap so I am straddling him, Ashton grabs my cheeks, smirking at me, “there are three of us Starlight, you need to share your k****s,” and then he is devouring my mouth, I gasp and he slips his tongue in caressing my tongue with his. Alexei k****s my neck, my arm wrap around him, my hands in his hair, I pull back from Ashton and attack Lexi’s mouth, he lets me control our k**s but grabs my a*s, letting me know who is really in control. We pull apart, “I think that’s enough kissing for now baby,” or I’m going to forget you are still recovering. He plants on last sweet k**s on my lips, before putting me back on my bed.
