Chapter 20

Steven's POV
"Steven, Bryan's in heat." Cedrick stated.
How could I have not seen it before? I had known that this was going to happen, that's why I disregarded Bryan's sadness the night I had mated with him. He had thought that by mating with me, he would be taking my chances of having a family away, but he was wrong.
A whimper escaped Bryan's throat and my arms instantly wrapped around him fully and brought him as close to my body as physically possible. I stopped a groan from leaving my lips when another whimper escaped his lips and his body began to grind up against mine.
From what I could tell, and by the look in Bryan's eyes, he was fully consumed by his heat and I could feel the lust that was radiating off of him. It was like a beckon, begging me to get closer to him.
The more that Bryan rubbed up against me, the more my blood boiled in my veins and pooled down towards my southern reign. I could also feel how excited that Bryan was. I knew that if I didn't stop his actions soon, I would lose control, and would forget to tell him what was happening. He had to know what would come of this.
With the last bit of control I had left, I slightly pushed Bryan away from me, to get some distance between us, and it seemed that neither he nor my wolf liked it. I could hear the rejecting mewls that were leaving Bryan's mouth, begging for me to hold him closer, along with the snarls and growls my wolf was giving me for pushing him away. I was fighting two battles at once, and was praying that I would be able to hold on both fronts.
"Paul," I snapped, my Alpha voice in full command. I knew that it sounded like I was pissed, but in this context I had a feeling they would understand that I was simply trying to restrain myself. I snapped my gaze away from Bryan and directed it towards Paul who was on the other side of the kitchen island.
"Y-yes Alpha." He responded, his neck on full display showing his submission. I did a quick look around to find that Cedrick as well as Molly were showing their necks in submission. I hadn't realized that I was trying so hard to retain myself that my power was really starting to show itself.
"Give me your car keys." I slowly said through clenched teeth.
Without a second thought, Paul pulled his keys out of his pocket and threw them to me. I caught them in one hand, while picking Bryan's body up with the other and throwing his body over my shoulder. I turned around and virtually ran out of the mansion.
I spotted Paul's huge Dark Blue Ram 3500 SLT in the drive and ran for it. Ever since he had gotten it a few months ago, Cedrick and I both teased him for having a huge truck and stating the he was over compensating for something else.
I was once again snapped out of my thoughts when Bryan's arms began to run all over my back, even running down to my ass and gave it a firm squeeze. I couldn't help but release a groan. At this point I was begging the spirits to give me some strength. Bryan didn't know just how much I wanted to bend him over right here in front of me and make him scream my name over and over.
I yanked the passenger door open and placed Bryan on the seat, and then I pulled the seat belt over him and buckled him in. When he stopped touching me I had thought that maybe he was starting to see past the lust and heat, but I was utterly wrong when I pulled back and looked into his eyes. He grabbed my face and pulled my lips onto his. For a moment I was lost in the incredible feeling that was his lips and the taste that came from him.
My hands wound themselves around his body and dug my fingers into this skin, while his fingered grabbed at my hair and tugged at it. The pleasurable tug of my hair pulled me from my lust just enough to remember that I needed to take him home.
I separated my body from his, with more effort that it should have taken, and moved around to the other side of the truck, hopped in, and started the engine. I threw the gear into drive and sped off towards my house.
As soon as we were out of the drive way and onto the road, Bryan's hands yet again latched onto me and I had to push his hands way. However, it got to the point were I couldn't keep his hands off of me and I tried to ignore him. My hands were grabbing at the wheel with such intensity that my knuckles were turning white.
It seemed that neither he nor his wolf liked my ignoring him because the next thing I knew, Bryan's hands were rubbing my erect member through my shorts and was releasing growls of need. I took deep breaths trying my hardest to retain my control, but I almost lost it completely when I felt the button on my shorts pop open followed by the pull of my zipper. I quickly looked over at Bryan to find that he had undone his seat belt and now had his head leaning over my lap.
The sight of his head being so close to my lap, above my now rock hard shaft, had me rolling my eyes into the back of my head. He may not have known it, but Bryan was pure sin and temptation and I so wanted to give in. But I knew I couldn't, one little slip up and I wouldn't be able to control myself any longer.
Taking my right hand I quickly pulled his body up and away from me while taking his arms into my hand and holding them there, making sure that he couldn't tempt me any more that he was by simply being in my presence. God, his smell was all over the inside of the car and I could smell his arousal!
I was pushed out of my lustful haze with I felt a hammer of pain slam into my head. I could feel rejection and sadness coming from Bryan's side of our link. I looked over at him to find his eyes starring at me with tears pooling in them and rapidly falling down his cheek.
He was feeling rejected and unwanted and he couldn't understand why. This heat was new to him and he was in the dark and that was my fault. It was actually my fault for the pain that he was feeling. I should have told him the night we mated. Maybe then I wouldn't have to push him away.
Even with my wolf snarling at me to pull the car over and show him the attention he needed, I knew I couldn't. It hurt me to think that I was causing him this pain, but I had to if it meant that I could tell him what was happening to him.
We finally reached the house, and I slammed on the breaks, turned the car off, and looked over at him.
The sight I found instantly broke my control. I couldn't take what I saw in front of me. Bryan's eyes were closed, tears still rapidly falling down his face, as silent sobs racked through his body. This was too much.
I let go of his hands, only to grab at his body and pull him over to my seat so that he was in my lap. I squeezed his body as close to me as possible, and he released all of the sobs that were being held inside of him. He once again latched onto me, grabbing handfuls of my hair, and sobbing into my neck.
I knew that this was coming and that Bryan would go through a heat, but I had thought that I would have had more time to explain to him what he would experience. And it hurt me so much knowing that he didn't understand why he was feeling these emotions and raw need.
I climbed out of the truck and pulled Bryan with me as I closed the car door. I walked up to the front door and lead us both towards our bedroom after entering the house. Coming to a stop in front of our bed, I sat on the edge and rocked him in my arms, shushing him while patting and rubbing circles into his back.
"W-why were y-yo-you re-rejecting m-me?" He sobbed out and my heart broke even more thinking that he thought I was rejecting him. The thought alone had a tear fall down my face. I could never reject a creature as beautiful as him.
"Shh, baby. I love you so much and I needed to talk to you. That's why I was pushing you away. You need to hear what I have to say before we do anything." I said pulling him back just enough so that he was looking at me.
"W-what?" He asked starting to calm down. This was the only time I would have before the lust began to grow again.
"Baby, remember the night that we mated?" I asked, and he responded with a nod and a small blush. "And you remember how you were upset that you were taking away my chances at having a family?" He once again nodded at me, no longer sobbing.
"Well, that's not exactly true. You probably know that ever Alpha must produce an heir for his line in order for the pack to continue on. What you don't know, however, it that the spirits made it so that even same sex mates can carry on that line." I told him, caution of his reaction.
"What do you mean?" He asked, his eyes narrowing while his brain was trying to figure things out in his head.
"What I mean is that if it just so happens that an Alpha is mated to another male, then that male can get pregnant." I saw it in Bryan's eyes when he connected the dots in this head.
"But that's impossible. A guy can get pregnant!" Bryan exclaimed.
"It's very rare, and not many have heard about it. But it's said that if an Alpha is mated to another male, that male will go into a heat after he has been marked on either 4 or 5 different occasions. During that heat, the male will be able to get pregnant and continue the Alpha's line." I said.
"How do you even know if this is true or not? For all we know this could just be a myth that has no truth to it." Bryan said, getting up from where he was seated on my lap and beginning to pace in front of me.
"It's not just a myth." I said as he continued to pace in front of me.
"And how would you know that? Have you seen it happen?" he asked, stopping from his pacing.
"Because my father was the child of two male Alphas." I spoke up. I was just as shocked when I had first found out about it when I had turned 13. I had never thought anything of it that I had two grandfathers. My child's mind had simply thought that they had decided to adopt my father.
"Okay, so let's say what you're saying is true and I can get pregnant, why don't you just use a condom?" he asked.
"That won't work." I said, sighing.
"Why not?" he asked, refusing to stop pacing when I placed my arms out for him to come and sit back in my lap again.
"Your body will go into heat once a year now that the heat has started, but the first heat is different than all of the others. On the first heat, this lust and want won't go away until you're pregnant. So even if we use a condom, your lust for me, and mine for you, will only grow as will the heat. It will get to the point to where you will beg me to just get you pregnant because of how crazy with lust you'll be. It's a way of the spirits making sure that the Alpha line will continue on."
"So you mean that there's no way around it? I'm going to get pregnant no matter what?" He asked, and no longer being able to see him pacing in front of me, I got up and stopped him by putting both of my hands on his shoulders.
The spark that ran through my body made it clear that Bryan's heat was going to start up again at any moment. I looked into his gaze and saw how they began to glaze over. I only had a few seconds before both of us were pulled into his heat and I knew that I wouldn't be able to control myself again if it happened.
"Yes, baby, you will get pregnant. And from what it looks like your heat is about to start up again." At the mention of his heat, Bryan released a moan of need that had me hard in an instant.
"Okay." He said closing his eyes as he began to pant.
Without my permission, my arms wound around Bryan's body and pulled him so that he was flush up against me. I could feel the lust and need radiate off of him and I knew that I had to get out of the house. He needed to have time to think about this. He wasn't in the right mind to be thinking about this decision. True he would have to get pregnant no matter what, but I wanted him to be okay with that. I wanted him to tell me that he wanted this. And if I wasn't here, he would be able to somewhat think through the lust.
It was made even more clear that he wasn't in the right state of mind when I felt his hands lift that back of my shirt and began to run his hands all over my back. His touch enticed a hiss to escape my lips at the sparks that were erupting from the feel of skin on skin contact.
"Baby, I need you to be able to think about what will happen if we go through with this. I want you to tell me when you're ready and if you want this. And with me being here, you won't be able to do that." I said as Bryan began to get more rough and intense with his fondling. I suppressed a moan and once again pushed him away from me. I could feel the ping of rejection again from him but I quickly placed a kiss on his forehead and essentially ran for the door.
Walking past the bedroom door, I closed and locked it. I knew that if I didn't lock it, Bryan would run out of the room, not caring whether or not he got pregnant, but I needed him to understand fully what would happen. And us being in the same room would not have helped. Hell being in the same house wouldn't have helped, which is exactly why I had brought him back home.
I could continue to feel through the bond that he felt a little rejected that I was leaving him here alone, but I knew that that was only the heat and lust talking.
I got back into Paul's truck and started the engine. As I drove back towards the pack house, I was finally able to clear the lust from my head as Bryan's scent cleared out of the truck. I knew that the next few hours as well as days were going to be hell.
* * * *
"I so don't envy you right now." Paul chuckled out, but his chuckle was short lived when Molly slapped him over the head. I couldn't help but smile at the sight, but it was made even funnier when both Molly and Cedrick murmured Idiot towards Paul at the same time after the slap.
It had been several hours since I had left Bryan alone at the house and I was starting to get worried that I hadn't heard anything from him. He hadn't shared his thoughts through our bond and he had actually closed me off. I was telling myself that it was so he could think to himself, but part of me thought it was more. A small voice in the back of my head was telling me that he was hurt and angry with me for not telling him the truth earlier, and for "rejecting" him multiple times.
But just to be safe, I had sent a couple of warrior wolves to watch over the house after I had left. Even if I couldn't watch over him, I was going to make sure that he was protected at all times, especially after what had happened at the school.
It still made my blood boil at the thought that that little shit was so close to marking my mate. I knew that if I had been there I would have killed him with no second thought.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when Cedrick snapped his fingers in front of me.
"You going to answer your phone? It's been ringing for past few minutes." He said, and I was surprised that I had been that lost in my thoughts.
I checked my phone to see that Bryan was calling me from my home phone back at the house and that he had already called me three times. Quickly sliding the call to answer, I put the phone to my ear.
"Baby?" I asked and I could hear the desperation in my voice.
"Why didn't you answer me? I tried to call you through our bond but you wouldn't respond. And then I tried to call you on your phone but you still hadn't answered." I could hear the tears in his voice. I must have gotten so lost in my thoughts that I forgot about the bond.
I open the link back up and a wave of vulnerability, defenselessness, and rejection rammed into me. For a moment I couldn't breath. With me not answering my phone and not letting him into my head he really was starting to think that I was rejecting him.
"Baby, I'm so sorry! I was lost in my thoughts and didn't realize that I cut you off and shut you out. Are you okay? What's wrong? Tell me what's going on." I pleaded. I swear this heat was starting to get to me too. But if only everyone knew what I was going to be like after the lust was over with.
"Baby? Please come home," he pleaded over the line and I was already getting up from where I was seated on the couch in the pack house living room. I started to speed walk towards the front door. "I need you!" Bryan faintly whispered into the phone and I could feel my wolf trying to take control. He so badly wanted to take over, but not yet.
I jumped into Paul's car, still having his keys, and pulled out on to the dirt road, gunning it. I must have been going at least 95 miles per hours respond, but right now I had more things to worry about than being caught by an officer of the law. I need to get to my house and I needed to get there now!
I opened my link to him and began to comfort him. I showed him how much I loved him and how much I needed him. He meant everything to me.
Within minutes I was coming up to the house and I could feel the warrior wolves bow down to me in submission again as I passed by them. I slammed my feet on the breaks and yanked the car into park before turning off the engine and hopping out of the car.
I came up towards the front door and as soon as I got there, I burst threw it, and made a beeline to our bedroom. My wolf was starting to gain more control, and now that I was seconds away from my mate, I let him. My mate needed me to show him that I would never reject him and that's what I planned on doing.
Not having the time to pull the key from my pockets to unlock the bedroom door, I tore the handle off, and almost the entire door, before I came to a stop in the doorway.
There he was, lying on the bed curled up in a ball, and my lust for him only grew at the sight. He on the other hand, jumped off of the bed and ran straight for me before climbing me like he was a koala and began to rub his face all over my chest.
He was MINE!
