Sable's Point Of View
"Sable it's time to wake up. We're going shopping today." Tristan said.
"Ugh it's too early big brother..." I said.
"I have to go somewhere later so it has to be now... I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you by buying you a super cute outfit." Tristan said.
Tristan was already dressed, meaning he had already been awake for a while. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, processing what he said.
"But today is your day off... where are you going?" I asked confused.
Brother Tristan and Delcain always had Sunday's off. So the fact that he had to go somewhere was confusing.
"Ah... well about that... I have to go out with some friends today..." Tristan said his cheeks turning pink.
'It's a date... He has the same look in his eyes that mom had when she would leave me on the weekends...'
I wasn't sure it was a date, but he was once again going somewhere that I couldn't go. It always made me sad when he and brother Delcain would leave for hours. I barely got to see them since they were always working. The house was always so boring without them around.
"Mmm... okay then. I'll go wash up." I said, getting up and heading to the bathroom. I took a shower and dressed in a sweater and jeans.
When I came out everyone was already up and about to eat breakfast. Tristan had made pancakes, eggs, and sausage links. His food was always delicious, I wanted to eat it everyday, all day.
After breakfast, we all climbed into our car and Delcain drove us to a huge outlet mall. It was so big and fancy I couldn't take my eyes off the overwhelming building.
"C'mon Sable, hold my hand." Tristan said taking my right hand.
"C'mon Arrisa, get on my back." Delcain said squatting down.
Our big brothers were always so protective of us when we left the house. They didn't let go of us until we were getting into the car again, unless we went to the park. At the park they would watch us like hawks and stick close when too many families showed up. I really loved that about them. The world outside the lab was terrifying.
We walked into a massive clothing store, it had clothes as far as the eye could see. We walked to the girls section to find clothes for me and Arrisa first.
"How about this blue dress? It really makes your beautiful hair stand out." Tristan said.
It was a beautiful ruffle blue dress with sheer blue sleeves, but it looked so expensive. I didn't want him to waste money on something I'd barely get to wear.
"Umm... but where would I get to wear that?" I asked trying to hint at the fact that I didn't need anything fancy.
"Well when we go on lunch or dinner dates as a family, of course. I want everyone to see how beautiful you are, and how dead they'll be if they get too close to you. Hahaha!" Tristan said putting it in the cart.
Delcain picked out 3 different types of outfits for Arrisa, while Tristan picked mine. We even got new pajamas. Next we went to the boys section for Kaleb, where he picked out his own clothes. Tristan and Delcain didn't object to anything he chose, even though his formal outfit looked way too expensive. In the end Kaleb got new pajamas as well.
Tristan, Delcain, and Kaleb threw in packs of socks, underwear, and scarfs into the cart as well. We then moved to the men's section to pick out clothes for Tristan and Delcain. Delcain liked to wear button up shirts and jeans so his shopping didn't take long. Tristan however, seemed to be having a mental breakdown over what to get.
He never seemed to grasp or understand his beauty, he just seemed to always put on whatever, but for some reason he looked about 10 seconds from an existential crisis.
"Hey kids pick out four outfits for big brother Tristan to try on." Delcain said to the rest of us.
We immediately got to work finding clothes. It was easy searching with his looks in mind, but his personality ruined most of them. Manly clothes didn't fit him, he was just too pretty.
Kaleb chose a dark blue button up vest, a powder blue long sleeve button up dress shirt to go under it, and black slacks for the pants. To round out the outfit he chose a gray suede trench coat that reached his shins.
Arrisa chose a dark green button up shirt with black cuffs, buttons, and lapels. She chose khaki cargo shorts that reached his shins, and a green and black plaid mid-length trench coat with a dark green fur collar.
Delcain's choice was the most surprising so far. He chose a black slim fit double breasted vest, a blood red button up shirt with a white collar and buttons. Paired with tight black lycra jeans and a pure white trench coat with red lapels, a red lining, and big black buttons. Tristan looked like a totally different person in the outfit, it was kind of scary.
I still couldn't decide what to pick for him. Everyone else made it seem so easy, but the outfits they chose were good they just didn't suit him. But then I saw the perfect outfit. I chose a salmon colored button up with black buttons, an obsidian cardigan with a pale pink lining, and black form fitting slacks.
"It would seem my siblings are more fashionable than I am... let's go pick out shoes now." Tristan said, positively beaming.
He always said he wanted to spoil us, but in reality he was the one who always acted spoiled. Anything and everything from us to him would brighten his day at the drop of a dime. Last year we all drew him pictures for Christmas, and Delcain said he hung them all in his work locker ever since. Delcain told us he always catches Tristan looking at them whenever he feels especially tired at work. It was heartwarming to know he was just as dotingly goofy at work as he was at home.
We walked to the shoe section and Delcain and Tristan bought us sneakers and boots for the upcoming winter. Kaleb once again picked out his own shoes, while Delcain got his as well.
"Should we find you shoes too big brother Tristan?" I asked, watching him look over shoes.
"Not this time, I know exactly what I want!" He replied excited.
He then proceeded to grab white suede thigh high boots with a thick square rubber heel, black shiny leather boots that reached his calves with countless black straps and silver buckles going up to the top, black leather slouch boots that reached just below his knees, and white leather knee high boots with a small thick heel. None of said shoes where men's shoes, and they all suited him perfectly... You could easily tell what outfits he had in mind for each one.
"You guys head to the counter I have to go get something else. Arrisa you wanna come too right?" Delcain asked putting her on his shoulders.
"Yeah! Onwards!" She exclaimed laughing at how much higher she was now.
"Okay... don't take too long." Tristan called back to him as Delcain was walking away.
We headed to the checkout counter and the woman scanned everything looking skeptical the entire time. By the time she had gotten to the shoes, Delcain was coming back with Arrisa, a stack of folded clothes in his hands. They looked shiny and silky.
"Del, put those up here so she can scan them too..." Tristan said looking confused.
"Uh it's fine I'll buy them. You're buying everything else so it's fine." Delcain's face looked like he was doing something he shouldn't be, like he was secretly eating out the cookie jar all night.
Tristan didn't notice and shrugged his shoulders. The cashier finished scanning everything and placed everything in big bags. Then she looked at Tristan with a smug mean look and said, "That will be $133,577 corra." The way she looked at him seemed to imply he couldn't afford it.
But my poor oblivious big brother didn't notice the hostility and said, "Hm? That's cheaper than I thought... Del, should we let them get more crap?"
The cashier's eyes went wide, and then slanted into thin slits, as if she were appraising my brother looking for a fish to reel in.
"What?! Are you serious? We don't have time for that we can just come back later. Just how long do you think you spent finding clothes? You have about an hour left just so you know..." Del said looking at Tristan exasperated.
"Fine... I just wanted to spoil them some more. They're just so darn adorable!" Tristan said as he hugged me before taking out a stack of money and then a few loose bills as well.
"Keep the change, it's fine." Tristan said loading the cart with the bags as the cashier floundered in shock.
"Here Tristan, head to the car. I'll be right behind you, I'll keep Arrisa too so don't worry." Del said tossing Tristan the keys.
We headed out the store and loaded all the bags in the trunk. By the time we were putting the empty cart in the corral, Del and Arrisa were coming out heading towards us. He placed his bag in the trunk as well, then put Arrisa in the car. I climbed in as well putting on my seat belt.
"You know that lady asked me if she could get your number... she's apparently an alpha. She was no doubt trying to retire early with those intentions." Del said.
"What did you tell her?" Tristan asked.
Having been oblivious to the looks she gave him, he couldn't understand what Del was hinting at.
"Obviously I told her you were my mate and to keep her grubby hands to herself." Delcain said with a serious look in his eyes as he started the car.
We pulled up back at the apartment complex about 20 minutes later, the car ride was filled with conversations about things I didn't completely understand. One thing I did pick up on however was that Tristan was definitely going on a date.
When we got into the house we were given our outfits to put away while Tristan got ready for his outing. He wanted help choosing what outfit to wear first. Of course everyone chose the outfit they had picked out, and Tristan couldn't break the stalemate. So naturally we chose at random. He wrote the main colors of the outfits on pieces of paper. There was blue, green, red, and pink. Then he put them in a bowl and shook them up.
Arrisa had won, so he wore the green outfit first. It did look good on him, especially with his black boots with all the buckles. We named them, 'Shit-Kicker Boots'. The outfit really made his slim figure look good, and his shoulder length powder blue hair and Green eyes with a hazel ring around his irises pop out. He was as breath-taking as ever.
"Big Brother Tristan, you really are too beautiful for this world. I don't think anyone deserves you." Arrisa said.
"Yeah... it's almost unfair right?" Delcain added.
I couldn't agree more. He was ridiculously beautiful, and it seemed he didn't really understand it. He had a perplexed look on his face as he said, "That's not true... I deserve you guys, right?" Then put on the most adorable pout.
"Of course Big Brother... but we meant as a mate. None of use can be your mate, so the Alpha that wants to be your mate better be a God-Tier beauty or I won't accept it!" I said in a huff.
"Hahaha! Thanks Sable, and you guys too. That makes me feel so much better." Tristan said going back into his room.
After a few moments he came back with the same duffel bag over his shoulder that he had gotten yesterday. I wasn't completely sure what was in it, but everything in my gut told me he probably wasn't going to come back home tonight. That realization made me incredibly sad, but I didn't want to make him worry so I said nothing.
"You ready? Do you have everything, inhibitors? Suppressants?" Delcain asked.
"Yep... I got them." Tristan said.
"Then here, as a final touch before leaving..." Delcain said, holding out a thick leather strap.
Tristan looked surprised as he took the strap and looked it over, it was a collar.
"Could you put it on me? I was never good at these kinds of things." He asked Delcain.
Delcain happily complied, putting it around his neck and clasping the heart-shaped metal ring on his throat. Then he locked it with a small key, and handed it to Tristan. Apparently Delcain had a spare key just in case Tristan lost his. Tristan put it in his inside pocket of his flannel coat while nodding.
Afterwards, we all piled back into the car discussing lunch plans, as Delcain drove Tristan to his destination. The more we drove, the more scared and tense Tristan got. We pulled up at brother Tristan and Delcain's job, and the three of us in the back looked confused.
"You got dressed up... to go to work?!" Kaleb asked confusion all on his face.
"No, this was just a mutual meeting spot." Delcain replied, as Tristan sat in the passenger seat unmoving.
"Well... you know you're late right? By like 15 minutes... don't you want to get out now?" Delcain asked raising an eyebrow. We could all sense Tristan's trepidation to get out the car.
"Delcain... am I crazy, or it that a damn stretch limousine?" Tristan said pointing out the window.
He wasn't crazy, it was massive. I didn't know what kind of vehicle it was but the word, car, didn't seem adequate enough. It was taller than all the other cars in the area. It had a large square shaped front, and a long rectangular body that seemed to be as long as the two buildings it sat in front of.
"Yeah... your not crazy. Look at the crowd of people surrounding it. I'm pretty sure some of them are coworkers." Delcain replied.
With a shaky hand Tristan opened his door, I got out too. I wanted one last hug before he left. Delcain, Arrisa, and Kaleb also got out of the car. As we piled onto the sidewalk to say farewell, there was an audible commotion from the crowd surrounding the massive car.
I was hugging Tristan tightly as he held me, when he suddenly flinched and tensed up. I looked up at him and he was looking behind me. So, I turned around to see what he was looking at and my jaw dropped.
Four large hulking men were approaching us. They were all in different colored clothes and their jewelry was so shiny it blinded me with the glare of the sun. They were all extremely handsome, so much so that it was terrifying. When they got closer it was made abundantly clear that they were also tall as hell, and they did not consider my big brother as a mere friend. I hugged Tristan tighter not wanting to give him up, not even to the drop dead gorgeous men in front of us.

Tristan's Point Of View
These guys were freakin unbelievable. They were dressed so well and dripping with accessories. They looked like something off the cover of a magazine.
Ferdinand had a black double-breasted vest with a red dress shirt underneath it, accompanied by a white tie, black slacks, shiny leather shoes, and a white mink coat with a red lining and lapels. His shoulder length fire-orange hair was flowing loosely to his shoulders with only his bangs being gelled back.
Cole wore a black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled back. The collar, cuffs, and buttons were all an emerald green. He wore form fitting jeans with emerald green sneakers that had black strings and black stitch work. His black hair was cut short on the sides, with the top being braided into a bun.
Then there was Sylvester wearing a gray short-sleeved button up with navy blue buttons, a black suede trench coat with a navy blue collar, lining, and lapels. Black slacks with tall black boots. His long midnight blue hair was braided in a single braid that started at the top of his head and ended at the middle of his back.
Lastly Bellamy rounded out the quartet wearing a 3-piece black suit with a coral button up shirt, a black double-breasted vest with coral colored buttons, with black slacks and black leather dress shoes with light pink stitching. His shoulder length strawberry blonde hair was also gelled back with a few strands of his bangs loose and reaching his eyebrows.
The sight of the four of them together was almost unfair. I audibly gulped and squeezed Sable a little too tightly. She hugged me back to calm me down kissing my face and resting her head on my shoulder.
"Are these your siblings?" Ferdinand asked.
"Y-Yes... this is Sable, that's Arrisa in my brother Delcain's arms, and this one's name is Kaleb." I said indicating each one I named.
"Well they are just as adorable as their big brother, that's for sure." Sylvester said.
"Watch it..." Delcain warned, already putting Arrisa behind his back.
"Kids... back into the car now." I said setting Sable down and taking Arrisa from Delcain. She hugged me tight too, and it really helped to calm my nerves.
I was a nervous wreck on the inside. I had been all morning, and trying to hide it was not easy. I kissed Arrisa's cheeks and put her in the car as well. The crowd of onlookers seemed to be getting bigger.
"Is that Tristan? What is he even doing here on his day off?" Someone murmured.
"No way. Have you ever seen him dress like that?!" Someone replied.
Delcain was waiting in his usual spot against the driver's side door, so I picked up the duffel bag and started walking towards him.
I was stopped by Sylvester as he said, "Let me carry the bag for you while you finish your goodbyes. It looks heavy." He finished with a chuckle.
It wasn't heavy until I put all the shoes in it, then it became weighty. I handed over the bag and then stood in front of Delcain. His amber eyes were full of nothing but worry for me and I couldn't be more grateful.
"Listen, I put the ointment in your bag along with some other essentials you'll probably need. I want a proof of life text from you at least every two hours or so. Don't let your guard down dummy, and be careful. But most importantly, try to have fun..." He said cupping my face in his hands.
I immediately began to tear up, it was the first time I was going out without my siblings and if I was being honest, I was extremely scared. Delcain pressed his forehead to mine trying to calm me down as he wiped my tears before they fell.
"Don't cry, your eyes will get all puffy. I'll look after the kids I promise, don't spend your whole time worrying." He said making me laugh despite myself.
"You don't worry either. It really stresses Sable out, it's all she texts me about, you know? I'll call and text you when I can, promise." I said chuckling.
"I can't make that promise, I can't help but worry about my naive Big Brother whenever he leaves the house. Be careful, love you brother." He said fixing my hair before letting go.
"Anyone else feel like we are villains all of a sudden?" Sylvester asked.
"Yeah... I know what you mean... who knew he'd be this close to his siblings?" Cole added.
Ignoring the peanut gallery I hugged Delcain one more time tightly. Then stepped back and let him climb back in the car. He rolled the windows down and looked at the four men watching on in a daze.
"You'd better take good care of my Big Brother, or I'll have your balls!" He said a little too loudly and a little too forcefully. My jaw dropped.
Meanwhile the girls where screaming and waving out the window, "Bye Brother! I love you!" As Delcain drove off.
'Aaand just like that I feel much better.'
I watched the car drive off until it disappeared, then felt arms wrap around my midsection. It wasn't a tight squeeze but my back wasn't back at 100% yet so it still hurt.
"You ready to go now?" Ferdinand asked, startling me with his deep voice in my ear.
"Y-Yes..." I replied.
He released me and started to head back to the car they had come in. As we approached the car I heard a familiar gasp and flinched.
"Ugh! Tristan!?" Called a voice, saying my name almost like a curse or filthy thing.
The way Mahayla said my name made all four men stop in their tracks. I turned to face her and her eyes widened in shock, looking at me from head to toe.
"Off to your orgy slut fest? You don't even dress like that when you leave work, and you really expect people to believe you don't sell yourself!?" She said her voice dripping with disdain.
"Honestly, I don't care what you, or anyone else believes. Nothing happened, and I will never whore for anyone. Death seems like a far better option to me, but that's just my opinion... My siblings chose this outfit for me this morning, that's why I'm wearing it... I don't dress up for work because we have uniforms, and I don't do after party services. There's no reason to dress up." I said, annoyed at having to repeat myself to the same jealous woman just so she wouldn't literally stab me in the back one day.
"Whatever, there isn't a single job in all Sayenrio, hell in all of Delgahtowe, that would hire an Omega that doesn't sell themselves. How long do you plan on lying? It's annoying." She said with a glare.
"Is there a problem?" Ferdinand said, pressing his chest against my back. I looked up and flinched, he looked extremely irritated.
"Ah! Just the perfect man for clarity. Excuse me sir, is it not true that Tristan provided sexual favors for you and your friends for a hefty tip, twice now?" She asked unphased by Ferdinand's ire.
"That's not true at all. We are very much aware of Tristan's rules, he was the perfect server and provided good conversations and company. We tipped him for all his time we took up, with our selfish behavior." Sylvester said standing to my right.
"And after much persuasion we finally got him to agree to go on a date with us. So if you don't mind stepping aside, we're running late." Cole said stepping to my left.
"T-That can't be true... How can that be true? No one cares about how an Omega feels... Why is he so different? Why does he always, always get special treatment?!" She stormed off towards the club, and I couldn't help but feel like she was surely plotting my downfall.
"C'mon Tristan let's go have fun now, or your brother will have our balls." Cole said laughing as he took my hand and headed for the limo.
Sylvester climbed in first, then Bellamy and Cole. It was too big for me to get in, I wasn't even sure where to step.
"I'll help you." Ferdinand said behind me, as he picked me up and climbed into the vehicle with me.
Ferdinand closed the door and I just stared at the interior wide eyed and jaw dropped. It was just as big inside as it was outside. There was a drink bar, and candy at both ends of the seats.
"So? Your siblings chose your outfit?" Ferdinand asked, snapping me from my shocked daze.
"Uh... yea. They chose all my outfits, everything but my shoes." I replied.
"Hmm? Can we see the other clothes?" Bellamy asked.
"Um if you want to, I guess..." I replied.
Sylvester got to work taking everything out of the duffel bag and laying it on the seat.
"Arrange them how they should be worn." Cole instructed me.
I stood up and put the outfits together how they should be, and the Alphas were so quiet I thought I had did something wrong, but then I realized something... something alarming.
"Anyone else notice that the color themes almost match ours?" Sylvester asked.
My face flushed with embarrassment, it was pure chance and coincidence, but he was correct in his observation.
"Hmm I'm starting to really like your siblings. They have good taste and a good eye for fashion." Bellamy said.
"Uh but what are these?" Sylvester asked pulling out more outfits.
Confused I unfolded the top item and immediately dropped it.
"Damn it Del... You're doing unnecessary shit too now?!" I murmured.
"What is it?" Ferdinand asked.
"Ah... well... my brother Del bought me some pajamas too..." I said stuffing them back in the bag.
"Yea I'm really starting to appreciate your siblings even more now." Bellamy said, in a sultry tone.
Delcain all but said, 'Don't worry about coming home tonight.'
"Well since we are currently color coordinating, we're going on my date first." Cole said.
"It's not just one place?" I asked confused. Cole took me by the waist and pulled me into his lap.
"No way, that would be terribly basic. Four dates, and four destinations." Cole said breathing in my neck.
Bellamy said something to the driver before closing the glass partition and sitting down.
"I like your outfit. Did you know green is my favorite color, Tristan?" Cole asked. I shook my head no.
Cole's hands wouldn't stop roaming my body, but then he slipped his hand under my shirt and up my back. I flinched and he paused, removed his hand and looked at it, no doubt confused about the petroleum jelly lightly smeared on my back.
"What is this? Petroleum? Why?" He asked smelling his hand. I used my hand to rub it into my skin on my knees and hands, not wanting to answer him.
"Tristan...?" He pressed.
I looked away not answering, what could I say? My manager beat me because I didn't sell you my body or alcohol? What would that solve? It would just ruin the mood...
Unsatisfied with my silence, Cole took my coat off tossing it to an empty spot on the seats. Then he yanked my shirt up revealing the red swollen welts across my back. He sucked in a sharp breath.
"What the hell is this? You didn't have these at work yesterday right?" Cole asked.
"Who did this to you!?" Sylvester demanded.
"Tristan, answer them. Right now." Ferdinand commanded, his strong pheromones crushing the atmosphere.
"I-It was... Barthélemy..." I muttered.
"Who? That shitty manager?" Bellamy asked. I nodded.
"Why?!" Cole asked.
"Let me guess because you told him off, and wouldn't sell yourself?" Sylvester asked.
"Was this what he meant when he told you to meet him in his office, to learn your place?" Ferdinand asked.
"...Yes."
The car was suddenly encased in all of their pheromones, it was so strong I couldn't breathe and my eyes watered. My heart rate sped up and my body heated up. Bellamy pulled back the band of my shorts and saw that they didn't stop at my back, and the pheromones became overwhelming. No one was saying anything but their pheromones were loud and clear, they were pissed. However their anger was going to make me pass out. I slumped to Cole's shoulder struggling to breathe.
"Too much... I can't... I can't breathe... please... calm down..." I choked out.
Sylvester was the first to come to his senses, and open a window. I took deep measured breaths, taking in the fresh air.
"Tell me Tristan, is this all he did to you? Don't lie to me, understand?" Bellamy said taking my jaw in his hand turning my head to face him.
"H-He strangled me... with the belt he hit me with... but that's about it..." I said looking at his amber-orange eyes.
"How many times did he strike you?" Ferdinand asked, no less pissed off than before. If anything he seemed more angry.
"O-Over 50 times..." I murmured, pulling my shirt down feeling uncomfortable.
"Fucking bastard!" Sylvester yelled.
Just then the partition lowered and the driver looked through the rear view mirror nervously.
"Um... gentlemen, w-we have arrived at our first destination." He stammered out.
I looked out the window and all my fear and anxiety was blown away in an instant, replaced with pure excitement.
"What is this place!? I've never seen anything like it! It looks so crazy!" I said breathlessly.
The men immediately snapped out of their stupor and stared at me in shock.
"You've never been to an amusement park before?" Cole asked, now smiling.
"A what? No, never! What do you do there?"
"C'mon, I'll show you." He replied, now full of confidence.
He helped me put my coat back on and kissed me briefly, before taking my hand and leading me out of the limo. Getting in wasn't nearly as daunting as getting out. I stood there holding his hand too scared to jump down.
Ferdinand once again picked me up and got out of the vehicle. Cole looked a little jealous in the process. When Ferdinand was standing on the sidewalk he still didn't set me down. I looked up at him confused, but he flashed me a lopsided grin before kissing me shortly twice.
"I thought Cole was a fool for bringing you somewhere so childish, but seeing you smile like that made it all worth it. Go have fun on your date. Cole, behave yourself." Ferdinand said finally setting me down.
I looked back at the other men standing by the car door puzzled.
"Aren't you guys coming too?" I asked.
"We will, but Cole gets to monopolize you here. It was his idea after all." Bellamy replied.
Cole took my hand again dragging me off while saying, "It's fine. They'll still be there just not intervening. C'mon let's go!"
I nodded and let him drag me into the park. We walked right past the ticket booth, the man in the box looking surprised as we continued past him.
"Don't we have to buy tickets or something? That guy looked surprised that we didn't stop." I asked.
"Nah I rented the whole park, there'll be people here but we get VIP treatment so whatever you want to do, just say the word." He replied, smiling wide.
He was like a big kid at Christmas. I couldn't do anything but stare in shocked admiration.
"What the hell do you do for a living that you can just rent a whole amusement park?" I asked worried.
"Ah... yeah about that, my father is a politician in the Delgahtowe parliament. Don't worry about it." He said.
I couldn't be too sure since I knew next to nothing about the people running the country, but that didn't seem like something I could just not worry about.
He took me on all the rides in the park. I found out I have a ridiculous fear of Rollercoasters but I still wanted to ride them. It didn't make sense, I was terrified the whole time but it was so much fun.
I screamed my lungs out at every dip and crazy turn, while Cole laughed at me raising his hands high in the air. I had a huge dessert like snack, it was like a huge donut riddled with holes, and covered in a white powdery confection, he called it a funnel cake. It was delicious. I took a picture of me eating it and sent it to Delcain.
"Cole? How old are you?" I asked curious.
"I'm 21. You?"
"I'm 19. I'll be 20 at the beginning of next year." I replied.
Towards the end of the date Cole asked me to go on the gigantic ferris-wheel with him. As it made its accent I realized I wasn't afraid of heights, I was afraid of falling. The view was beautiful, I could see the ridiculously huge limo we came in when we got higher. Unfortunately, the higher we got the more the cart swayed and it was too scary to look outside anymore. I grabbed Cole's arm and buried my face in his shoulder.
"It's okay, I won't let anything happen to you." Cole said, sitting me in his lap and kissing me forcefully. He seemed to be in a better mood and super energetic. His kisses were forceful but sensual, as he ran his fingers through my hair.
"Oh? Do you have wings I don't know about?" I asked sarcastically, breaking away from his kissing.
"No, but I have the dexterity and strength to not let you plummet to your death." He said, gripping my hips as he ground his lower half into me. He then stopped abruptly and looked at my eyes.
"We have the same color eyes but your eyes are so much more beautiful. I've never seen eyes with a ring of color around the iris. You're really beautiful Tristan, I'll cherish you forever if you let me." He said kissing me on the lips and neck.
'What am I even supposed to say back to that? That sounded like a damn proposal!'
The smell of a rainforest permeated the cart and made me feel hot all over. Then the cart stopped and there came a knock along with someone clearing their throat.
"It's fine you can let it go around one more time." Cole said into my neck not looking up.
The voice that answered however made me jump, and Cole tense up instantly.
"No. Times up, it's Bellamy's turn." Ferdinand said looking annoyed.
He stepped into the cart and lifted me up off Cole's lap and began carrying me out of the park. It was quite lamentable, since I was indeed having fun. I looked back and saw Cole looking crestfallen.
"Thanks for bringing me here today Cole! I had a lot of fun, promise you'll take me here again someday okay?" I yelled over Ferdinand's shoulder.
Cole immediately perked back up, beaming a gorgeous smile.
"Yes! Definitely!" He said putting some pep back in his step.
He really was just a big kid. Which made me wonder about something. We made it back to the limo, and they all piled in, Ferdinand bringing up the rear with me still in his arms.
This time around Ferdinand sat me in his lap, I couldn't help but notice he had been rubbing my back softly ever since he picked me up off Cole's lap.
"Ok Tristan, you have to change your outfit now. Wear this one." Bellamy said, handing me the outfit Sable chose.
I didn't mind changing, there was just one glaring issue, "Um... you want me to change in here? With all of you present? That's a bit... much... isn't it?" I asked looking concerned.
"You change at work in front of others... what's the difference?" Sylvester asked.
"Um none of them look at me like their going to eat me for their next meal..." I replied nonplussed.
Every single Alpha in the vehicle laughed uproariously, the terrifying part was that no one denied it. They also didn't give me an alternative choice of where to dress. I looked up at Ferdinand pondering a thought.
"What is it?" Ferdinand asked, giving me a serious look. I didn't really understand it, but I got the impression that he'd control himself properly in front of the other Alphas so I wanted to test that theory.
"Will you behave yourself Mr. Ferdinand?" I asked with a stern look.
He looked at me bemused for a moment, but slowly nodded his head yes looking very serious. I leaned in closer to his face so I could whisper what I wanted.
"I need to use your coat. Could you use it as a partition of sorts... no peeking, got it?" I said.
"Not even a little peeking?" He whispered with a small pout.
"Absolutely not. If you behave yourself, I might just reward you later." I said, flashing him a smirk.
At that, Ferdinand's pheromones flared hard. The strong heady scent making my heart race immediately.
"Hngh! Frikkin control yourself Ferdinand. Or no reward for you. Jeez..." I whispered, pinching his cheek.
"It's your fault. Stop tempting me." He said, pouting.
"Just hold the coat and close your eyes, before I change my mind." I said taking my boots off.
He stood up and removed his coat while spreading it out.
"Why's Ferdinand the only one who gets to look?" Bellamy asked.
"He's not. Nobody gets to look.... Turn your ass around Ferdinand...." I said.
He huffed but still turned around. I quickly took off my current outfit, and replaced it with the black and Salmon colored outfit Sable chose with the thigh high white boots. Once I was done I tapped Ferdinand on the back as I stood up. He immediately turned around and wrapped me up inside his coat with him and kissed me.
"I don't like that you look good in everyone else's colors. It's making me jealous." He whispered at my ear, making me shiver.
"How can you be jealous of a color? Also you talk as if I don't have an outfit that matches yours... is our date last or something? You seem really impatient..."
"Hmm... something like that." Was his only reply.
"We're here gentlemen." The driver said once again.
I looked out the window and it was a white building with floor to ceiling windows and golden chandeliers hanging on the inside. Suddenly I felt severely underdressed.
"What is this place?" I asked, moving away from Ferdinand and looking out the window. Ferdinand, still sulking grabbed me by the waist as I looked out the window. It was quite the precarious hold since he was basically grinding his groin area on my ass while I leaned over to look out the window.
"It's a restaurant. We are eating lunch here." Ferdinand said.
"All of us? That doesn't exactly seem fair..." I said.
"Well you and Bellamy will get your own table. He wanted to take you out to lunch, and he picked the restaurant." Cole said, rolling his eyes as if unimpressed.
I couldn't deny I was excited, I'd never seen such a big luxurious restaurant. I couldn't even guess what kind of food they would serve here.
"Have you guys ever eaten here before?" I asked as Ferdinand took me out of the limo.
"I eat here on occasion, sometimes we have meals together here whenever we have time to get together for a bite." Bellamy said.
"Though we'll been going to eat tasty wings at a certain club for lunch from now on." Sylvester said teasingly.
We walked into the restaurant and I couldn't stop looking all around, the interior was breath-taking, and almost offensively bright. We walked up to the host counter, and the woman immediately recognized the group of men.
She beamed a sultry smile as she guided us to our tables. Sylvester, Cole, and Ferdinand sat in a booth across the way, while Bellamy and I had a table that felt like it was smack dab in the middle of the dining area.
"Do you drink Tristan?" Bellamy asked after we took our seats.
"No, I've never drank alcohol before." I replied.
When you turned 16, you were of a legal adult age and one would usually celebrate with their first drink during their coming of age party.
However, I turned 16 in the lab and they never allowed "toxic substances" to enter our bodies to keep us pure. When Delcain came of age, we were so concerned about our finances that we just had a cake and sparkling cider to celebrate with all the kids.
"Hmm... the wine here is pretty good. You might like it." He said picking up his menu.
I picked up my menu as well and my eyes went wide. The food sounded like a foreign entity. Most of it I had never even heard of before, but the prices... they were downright outrageous!
"Um... I'm not sure what most of these are... could you just... uh... order for me? I'm not a picky eater." I said turning red in the face. Most of the dishes had names I couldn't even pronounce, and the descriptions made even less sense.
"Haha of course." Bellamy said looking extremely amused, I felt my face heat up even more with embarrassment.
"Um... can I ask you something, Bellamy?"
"Yes, anything beautiful." He replied with a charming smile.
"How old are you?" I asked. None of the Alphas looked particularly old but they were already so wealthy I was beginning to worry.
"I'm 23. Why? How old are you?" He asked looking extremely interested.
"I'm 19... What do you do... for a living?" I asked.
"Ah... I own a pharmaceutical company. B&G Pharmaceuticals. We are the leading provider of inhibitors and suppressants, along with birth control and morning after pills." He said, almost bragging.
Meanwhile, I couldn't hold back the surprise on my face. We were currently surviving on his inhibitors and suppressants.
"Surprising?" Bellamy asked looking even more amused than before.
"Yes... my siblings and I can't use any other inhibitors or suppressants. They don't work, and the side effects are terrible. With your company's products, at best we get a headache. The only downside is that they are pretty damn expensive to buy for all five of us." I said.
"Hmm? You and all your siblings are Omegas?" Bellamy asked, looking shocked.
I immediately flinched, only too late did I realize it might be uncommon or even unnatural for a mother to have all five kids be Omegas.
"I-Is that bad?" I asked looking away.
"No, it's just surprising and extremely rare... but it's not bad. It makes more sense now why you all are so close." Bellamy said. The look in his amber-orange eyes was so heartwarming, almost like he envied the relationship I had with my siblings.
The waiter walked up to our table and put her back to me as she spoke to Bellamy.
"Will you be needing any appetizers, Bellamy?" She said all but sitting in his lap as she leaned in close to him.
He leaned around the woman and asked, "Tristan do you want an appetizer too?"
"Um... how many other places are we going to go to that have food... I already had a funnel cake with Cole so, I don't wanna overdo it. I feel like you guys are trying to fatten me up." I said chuckling.
"Haha... mmm something like that... I'm pretty sure all the dates include some kind of food though." Bellamy replied.
"Well then I'll skip the appetizers and I'll share a dessert with you, how's that?" I asked.
"Smart thinking. Are you gonna let me feed it to you?" He asked with a smirk.
I could feel my face and body heat up, it didn't feel like he was talking about the dessert at all.
"Tristan, don't rile me up. Contain your pheromones, or Ferdinand is going to snatch you up." Bellamy said, hinting his eyes behind me.
I turned around and made direct eye contact with Ferdinand, his eyes looked like they were glowing a radiant gold.
'Seriously what is with that guy today... I feel like I'm going to be eaten for sure!'
"Bellamy, your not paying me any attention today. How rude of you. Who is this nobody you keep flirting with?" The waitress whined.
"You can order our food and drinks now Bellamy. Get me whatever you want plus a cup of water." I said trying to get rid of the nuisance faster.
I wasn't jealous but the longer this dragged on the more weighty Ferdinand's gaze would get, and I wasn't trying to be a meal on the menu right now.
"Well if you say that much then I have no choice do I beautiful?" He said amused by the whole situation.
"Mayline, I'm currently on a date right now, and you are being extremely rude. You can bring me the best red wine in stock right now, a pitcher of water, my usual, and the Chezmaine Grendate Salad for my date." He said to the waitress handing her our menus.
She turned on a huff and headed for the kitchen. I was a bit worried about my server being pissed and jealous. It never ended well when you pissed off the people who handled your food.
"Ugh... what if she spits in my food now? How much trouble would it be if I stabbed her with a fork?" I asked, completely serious.
Bellamy let out a boisterous laugh. He seemed to find my inquiry hilarious.
"I didn't think you had a violent side, Tristan. How surprising and very amusing." He said wiping a tear from his eye.
"Look, I'm not a violent person, but to waste such expensive food for such a stupid petty reason? I'll have to stab her. I don't even know what you ordered me, I only comprehended the word salad. So if she comes between me and my new never before seen meal, I might stab her multiple times."
"You're so funny and honest. I kind of want her to tamper with your food now, only to see you stab her." Bellamy said holding his sides still laughing.
The jealous server came back with our drinks. She sat the wine bottle in a tall golden stand with a bucket of ice seated in the top, then poured me some water. She apparently couldn't keep her jealousy to herself however because after she filled my cup she then splashed water in my lap giving a sarcastic, "Oops." In the process.
Bellamy's smile faded replaced with actual concern, while I glanced at the table and then focused on the cup of water.
"You should probably go cool your head, here let me help you." I said, as I emptied the ice water she had poured me directly into her face.
If looks could kill that server would have no doubt melted me on the spot but as it was, she was stuck staring in my direction as I dabbed at the water in my lap with the napkins on the table.
"Ha! Did you see that? C'mon tell me he's not the perfect little shit! I dare you!" I could hear Sylvester laughing and Cole agreeing with him behind me.
"Bellamy? Can we get a new server? If she messes with my food I really will stab her." I said pointing at the server now fuming and at a loss for words.
"Absolutely, anything for you. You damn psycho." Bellamy said laughing anew.
He then waved down another staff member and requested a new server, while the jealous woman screamed profanities at me and Bellamy before storming off.
Moments later a male server brought out our food. However the look he gave me said more than the jealous woman and her rant. All of a sudden the strong scent of leather and vanilla permeated the area. I stiffened and so did the server before he hastily retreated.
I slowly turned around and gave Ferdinand a subtle thumbs up and the 'ok' sign before turning around to face my food again.
It was barely a salad, it did have a thick lettuce like base but it also had three different types of meat, a good amount of cheese, two hard boiled eggs cut in half, and croutons loaded on top. Complimented with a house dressing that was both sweet and savory. It was absolutely delicious, I couldn't stop eating it once I started. I wanted to take a bottle of the salad dressing home with me and put it on everything. I took a picture of me eating the salad and also sent it to Delcain.
"Do you like it Tristan?" Bellamy asked grinning.
My mouth was full so I nodded repeatedly, while chewing with food filling my cheeks.
"Haa... shit... You're so damn adorable when you eat like that." He said on a groan. I couldn't even be bothered about the subtle smell of patchouli and sandalwood wafting from him, the salad was that good.
"Here Tristan, try the wine. It should taste better chasing after the salad." Bellamy said passing me a glass. I took a sip and he was right, it amplified the sweetness of the salad and I ended up drinking the whole cup.
"That tasted amazing! Thank you Bellamy. Everything is so good!" I said beaming a big smile.
"I'm glad you like it. I ordered a chocolate mousse cheesecake for dessert. It should be here soon." He said.
"What is that?" I asked, making Bellamy choke on his wine.
"Wha? What do you mean? You don't know what a chocolate mousse cheesecake is?" He asked sputtering.
"I mean... is it something they sell in a grocery store? I cook all our meals and we don't really have dessert outside of cookies. Baking takes too long, I don't have the patience." I replied.
Bellamy looked at me with something akin to pity in his eyes.
"Aht. Spare me your pity, you can't miss what you've never had. So you could be potentially ruining my life with this dessert of yours. Much like this salad and dressing." I said pointing a finger and raised brow.
At that, the male server brought a slice of cake out, that could basically qualify as two slices. Bellamy took the dessert from him hesitating to give me any.
"Would you like anything else today?" The server asked not Bellamy, but me.
I nodded and said, "The check." While I waved my hand at Bellamy telling him to fork over the goods. The server walked off to comply.
"I'll give you some, but only if I can feed it to you." Bellamy said, raising his brow.
I on the other hand was not about to let that stop me, that cake looked frikkin delicious and I wanted a bite. So I nonchalantly opened my mouth saying, "Aaah," while Bellamy stared at me in lustful shock. I didn't close my mouth until he fulfilled his promise.
The flavors that assaulted my taste buds were so sublime I wanted to cry. It was so soft it basically melted in my mouth, it was gone before I even knew what happened. I looked back up at Bellamy, my eyes pleading for another bite. He was definitely trying to stealthily eat it all.
"Ngh... Fuck. Do not let Ferdinand know you made that face at me. He will most definitely kill me in my sleep." Bellamy said feeding me another bite.
I couldn't help but put my hands on my cheeks as I savored the flavor that was gone too soon. I wanted to share this with my siblings so much. The girls would love it, thinking about them again I got a little depressed thinking about how much they would have loved the amusement park and the cake.
"What are you thinking about that makes you look so forlorn?" Bellamy asked wiping the chocolate from my lips.
"My sister's would love this cake, but I don't want to make it..." I said opening my mouth for another bite, it was already almost gone.
Bellamy gave me one last bite before finishing it off while thinking.
"I'll buy you three slices to take home to share, how's that sound?" Bellamy asked.
"Will you really?!" I exclaimed.
"Of course look at that adorably excited face of yours. How could I possibly refuse?"
"Yay! Thanks Bellamy!" I said positively beaming. But then mother nature came calling and I stilled and glanced around.
"Um, Bellamy? I have to use the toilet..." I said looking for the signs leading me there.
"It's directly behind you at the end of that hallway. Can't miss it." He said pointing.
I immediately stood up saying, "Don't follow me, your lusty eyes are problematic. All of you." I said turning to the other lusty eyes behind me too.
