Chapter 105 – Owned by the Alphas Novel Free by Jen Cooper

“Always,” I reassured him.

I don’t know if that was the confirmation everyone needed to go through with what we were doing, but I could already feel it through the link.

My alphas and I were in agreement. We were keeping the border up, and we were using my magic to do it.

10. The Vision

LORELAI

“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Derik asked for the millionth time, and I nodded.

I was ready. If me and my child could both really survive and I trusted in myself and my alphas to lead our baby into a good life, then how could I just let the border collapse, knowing the consequences?

I still cared about the humans. Okay, mostly my mom, but until she was ready to come to the wolves’ city with me then I had to do what I could to make her safe.

Not to mention the fact that I was going to be the luna of the pack soon. The link would open for me, and the wolves that had been so wary of me were going to be my family.

I had to make sure I still had a family to go to.

“I’m sure. Tabby said I wouldn’t be drained or anything. Just touch the thing, right?” I asked, and Derik nodded.

I smiled. That would be easy enough.

The carriage ride was rough, bumpy, and dark as we went through the forest, the denseness making the air a little thicker, but I didn’t mind it. It reminded me of Derik.

“You’ll feel it soon,” Kai warned, and I nodded, my senses prickling on the edge of my mind. Like they were anticipating, knowing something was going to happen.

I had been assured it wouldn’t hurt, but I was getting even more curious to know what it would feel like.

“Like ecstasy.” Kai grinned, and I returned the gesture.

Well, I knew what that felt like. I had three big alphas with big cocks that kept me there half of my waking life.

Brax snickered at that, his thumb drawing lazy circles over my hand where he held it.

It was an amazing sensation, the touch of him, the feel of comfort and closeness.

Our connection was one I could barely breathe through half the time and yet, today, it felt so free.

“That’s the magic. It’s feeling…different.” Derik craned his neck to one side and then the other, as if trying to relieve it of pressure.

I frowned at his actions, not sure if he was being sarcastic or not. “The magic from the border?”

“No. We can feel the broken magic. Keeping the border up is only one part of so many problems now, beautiful,” Derik admitted, and I nodded, chewing my lip, a little deflated.

I had hoped I was helping, but maybe it wasn’t enough. Maybe he was right and the border was only going to prolong the inevitable crazies.

“It’s still helpful, Little Human,” Kai reassured me, glaring at Derik.

I was going to reply but before I could, a sharp pang of everything light and safe pierced me. It wasn’t painful, but it was so intense it had me sucking in a breath, clutching Brax’s hand.

He pulled me closer. “We’re close, Spitfire. Don’t fight how it feels,” he whispered.

I nodded, focusing on releasing the tension in my body. One by one, my muscles unlocked, immediately filling with the feeling.

I sighed as the carriage came to a stop. I opened my eyes and the darkness was gone. In its place, the whole carriage was bathed in a purple glow.

I blew out a breath, the sight making me feel weirdly ethereal. Like it was calling to me, but not in a demanding way. In a luring, siren-call type of way.

I wanted to go to it, I wanted to touch it, and I hadn’t even seen the fucking thing yet.

Normally I waited for the alphas to open the door (they liked to scope the area first), but I couldn’t wait. They were moving so slow.

I surged from the door, stepping onto a moss bed, my feet sinking in slightly. It wasn’t gross; it was another sensation that felt amazing and added to the beauty happening in my body.

It was a sensual feeling, a call that I couldn’t resist, almost desire but a deeper feeling, not superficial.

I took deep breaths, my mind on some kind of trip. I looked around the dense, dark forest, looking for the purple glow that I could feel brushing along my skin.

“Where is it?” I breathed, stepping forward on the moss floor. My feet felt the cold, but it didn’t make me shiver, it didn’t give me goosebumps, like the warmth of the magic I could feel was stronger.

My shadows didn’t feel like shadows as they stirred in me, and little flutters moved in my stomach. I held it and walked forward, not sure if my alphas had answered me.

I couldn’t hear them; I could only feel. I was led, by what, I had no idea. All I knew was I had to follow its pull.

And then it was there. It was transparent, a wavering sheen cutting through the forest, but I felt it. So deep and powerful within me.

I went toward it, stopping in front of it.

It was just forest on the other side, but it felt darker. Like my body was warning me against stepping past it. I wasn’t there to go through it though, I was there to help.

“Lorelai,” Derik said, his voice firm, breaking me from my entranced admiration of the magic in front of me, a shimmering waver that I was desperate to touch.

Like it knew I could make it stronger.

I grinned back at him as Kai stood next to me, Brax hovering close, looking over his shoulder. The pack came out of the trees then in their wolf forms, but they were all wide-eyed and wary, staring at me.

“They came,” I whispered, the bond between them and my alphas leaking into me.

“The pack is a part of this,” Kai said, and I nodded.

“And the mating brand?” I asked, hating that it was what my mind went to first.

A flicker of pain highlighted his eyes, and he clenched his jaw. “I have to be here.

And so do they. It’s a risk that I have no choice in,” he bit.

I smiled tightly, grabbing his hand and kissing it. I hated that it was opening up our relationship to the idea of him mating, but we couldn’t do anything about it.

He was right, he had to be there, and so did the pack. We were all a part of the consequences if it failed.

I took a deep breath, the pressure of what I was going to do making me feel somehow exposed. What if it didn’t work? What if I couldn’t do what I needed to keep them all safe?

So much rested on me being able to keep the magic in the border.

“Just touch it, Spitfire. As easy as that. The magic will do the rest, and we’ll be here.

Draw on us if you have to,” Brax reassured me, and I nodded, a smile playing on my lips.

I wanted to touch the magic, and I could.

I held my hand up, and everyone tensed, but I was teasing the power, seeing how it felt radiating against my palm.

It felt amazing.

I sucked in the feeling, closing my eyes before inching closer, my palm slowly pressing against the border.

As soon as my skin touched it, power rushed through my body. I heard the gasps and the howls, but I didn’t turn, I didn’t open my eyes.

I just absorbed it, every sound, feeling, and ribbon of magic that pulsed through me. It was everywhere. My shadows joined it, like they were dancing, like they were free, but in the best way.

I kept my hand against it, grinning as the power kept pouring. I wasn’t sure which way it was flowing, maybe it was both, but I felt unlocked. Like the whole time I had been forcing it but now it was as easy as breathing.

It was mine, but I was pure power. It was so intense, making my grin widen again.

My hand was warm, the texture like water, but I wasn’t looking at it. Something told me the experience would be better without seeing it.

And I wanted to feel everything about it.

My body grew stronger, my power grew stronger, and I knew it was working. I could feel the entire expansion of the border, every particle of magic that made it, and I could feel it communicating with the magic in me too.

“Is this what it feels like when you take the virgins?” I whispered, not surprised they did it every year if it felt so damn good. Like a high I never wanted to come down from. Like living in the orgasms my alphas gave me.

“I suspect not, beautiful. Not even virgins can provide the border with the kind of power you’re giving it,” he said, his voice full of awe.
