The Pack

Chapter 16: Macintosh

"Are you sure?" She nods as one of the babies squeal with laughter. I look over to see it grab at its other sibling, who is trying to raise up off the floor in a crawl. It pushes the one who is attempting to crawl so it rolls over into Tuck. I chuckle. 

"That one's Trouble." She nods and I watch the sibling at Tuck and attempt to growl. Unfazed Tuck eyes him a minute before licking its face. The baby huffs at him. "Hex and it looks like Lore by the way." I turn as the third cub by Juliet grabs onto Alpha's tail so Alpha can slide it gently back and forth on the floor. "Trix." Lea grins as Lore walks into the room with the scarred man. 

"Lore, Duke. She named them Trouble, Trix and Hex. And Trouble is the only girl by the way." Lore grins and we all sit down to play with the babies.

........................

A while later I feel my mates enter the room as well as several other people. I turn on my knees to see Mace is sitting on the couch with Pan and Dallas on either side of him. It's only when I feel Mace's distress that I realize that more people have entered the room and they all smell similar to Mace. Tilting my head to the side I regard my mates and the tension in their shoulders. And the tension in the air is what gives it away. I scoop Trouble into my arms and walk over to Mace as she tugs at my hair. It's weird but I know that she's worried about Mace. As I get closer I lean down and kiss Dally on the lips before sitting down in Mace's lap. I glance over at Pan and his ruffled white hair and he grins at me before leaning forward and pecking me on the lips. Then I look at Mace but he refuses to meet my eyes. Trouble whimpers in my arms and I pat her on the back as I speak. 

"Your twin was an idiot." The tension in the room hikes up as Mace jerks his head up to meet my eyes. I see that same broken look in his eyes that I had seen before as I place a hand on his cheek. "There is nothing wrong with being an omega Macey. I swear on our bond that even if the whole of your family were to reject you for it Pan, Dally and I NEVER would. We love you no matter what. Stop hiding my mate your upsetting your niece." His eyes widen and he glances at the baby in my arms instantly knowing that she is the one that had been in distress earlier and the one we had been trying to save. His hand reaches out and he touches her cheek. She blinks her bright silver eyes at him before she starts to purr. I grin in amusement as Mace lets his powers loose. Immediately the tension in the room ceases as his Omega powers soothe the upset beasts. Trouble purrs louder as Mace makes a face at her before leaning down and kissing her head. When he looks up at me I see his eyes have calmed. 

"Sorry baby." I shrug and he grins and me before leaning forward and kissing me. When he pulls back he pulls me sideways into his chest so I can place my feet in Dally's lap as an older woman who has Macey's eyes speaks. 

"Macintosh, you have found your mates." Macintosh? I touch my neck then gasp as I look up at Macey. 

"Your name is Macintosh." Several people in the room snicker as he mock glares at me. 

"It is and some people better quit laughing at me or I'll start telling their full names....right Devil?" A man sitting by the window stops laughing to scowl as Mace looks over at him. My eyes travel from him to Juliet and I see she has scooted into a corner when all of Mace's family showed up. I clear my throat and meet Lea's eyes as I speak. 

"I was thinking Lea since you just had cubs that maybe Juliet and Romeo could come visit with us for a few weeks and give you, Lore, and Duke some bonding time with the cubs. I'm hoping they can help me convince Dallas that I need to go to school." I feel my mates probing at my mind and I open up so they can see how worried I am about Juliet. Lea looks at me quizzically and I glance over at Juliet. She glances over and the soft smile on her face fades as she looks at her daughter's position. Lore squeezes her shoulder and Duke glances at me. His dark eyes probe mine before he nods as Lea speaks. 

"I think that would be a great idea but I won't see you at school til next week since my mates are being overprotective of me at the moment. Duke will be acting principal til I return." I blink at the scarred man and can't suppress a grin as I speak. 

"I think dear sister in law that you will have the best behaved male students in history but I have a feeling the females will be getting into more trouble." Duke frowns at me not seeming to get how hot he was with or without the scars but Lea laughs because she gets it all too well.

MACE POV

I stare at my beautiful mates in awe. How did I get this lucky? Aila manages to make everything okay with my Omega powers in five seconds. Dallas gets all the hard issues and Pan can make me laugh whenever I'm sad. How did I get not one but all three of them. I thought after Mack died that my life was over. I didn't think anything could fill the hole in my chest but these three side swiped me and here I am.

I watch as Aila gets off my lap and takes Trouble over to Lea as Dallas throws his arm around me and Pan lays his head in my lap. The warmth that fills me has nothing to do with temperature and everything to do with love. 

"She's something else isn't she?" I nod as I cut my eyes at Dallas.  

"Yea she is and I was thinking we could take her on date tonight before we go back. I want to tell her my secrets. She's given so much to me it's only right. I want her to know everything about me. I want all of you to know everything." Dallas lays his head on my shoulder before he speaks. 

"I know what you mean Mace cause I have them same feeling."  

"What's a date?" I look down at Pan as Dallas laughs.
