Ferdinand's Point Of View
I watched Payhne walk out of my room and then I reached for the box on my night stand. Tristan's pheromones were downright threatening. I was surprised to see Payhne at my door, with Tristan's scent wafting in the air. I wasn't sure how long he had been out there but it was heartwarming nonetheless.
I lifted the lid and noticed a letter taped to it. I quickly removed the letter and began reading over it. It was a note detailing the syringes inside.
[Hey idiots listen up. In this box are injections you might need. DON'T SCREW UP! The colors mean the following:
Green– Tristan's suppressants.
Blue– Tristan's booster, to be administered after an hour of the green suppressant.
Pink– An aphrodisiac of sorts for Tristan. It will heighten his sensitivity and boost his satisfaction faster. ‐Use in small doses! -
Red– A Suppressant for Alphas only. It is most effective when Tristan is given a suppressant as well. This will demenish our arousal and ensure that Tristan's pheromones have a lower effect on us. Do not take more than one within 7 hours of the first. You will regret it.
Yellow– A contraceptive. It is stronger than the average injections so he will only need one. Effective for up to 12 hours.]
I took our a red injection and stabbed it into my thigh. I wasn't sure if Tristan had gotten another injection so I didn't want to risk giving him too many.
I laid down next to Tristan and he immediately snuggled up to my chest with a content smile. Then, he took a deep breath and his eyes snapped open in an instant.
"Ferdinand...?" He asked looking up at me in confusion.
His eyes were a soft pale green. Not his usual color but also not his brightest eyes either. I had been worried since his pheromones were so strong, but he seemed fine.
"That's me. Why do you look so confused?" I asked.
"How did I get here?" He said, glancing around the room.
"You walked... Or so I'm told. You were curled up next to my door like a cat. So I picked you up and put you in the bed. Is that okay?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah... I'm sorry..." He replied putting his face into my chest.
"There's nothing for you to apologize about. You are ridiculously adorable right now and I love it. So no complaints. Oh by the way, did Sylvester give you a suppressant at all?" I asked.
"No... Bellamy gave me a contraceptive but that was it. Oh, and a weird injection that made me way to horny in my opinion." He replied.
"Hm? Bellamy...? Not Sylvester?" I asked confused.
Tristan didn't answer verbally, he just nodded his head yes, while his face was still pressed to my chest. I could feel his embarrassment welling up inside him.
"Did Bellamy join you two last night or something?" I asked, reaching into the box and grabbing the green syringe.
"Y-Yes..." He mumbled.
"Haha... Was Syl not enough for naughty Tristan?" I teased, as I softly injected his suppressant into his thigh.
I knew that wasn't the case, Bellamy probably just barged into Sylvester's room and joined in. But I just couldn't help teasing him.
"No... he wasn't... I don't think Bellamy was enough either, but it was just the right amount where they no longer felt compelled to screw my brains out. Honestly, Bellamy was dripping with satisfaction by the time he left." Tristan murmured, taking me completely by surprise.
"Wait... so you called him to you or something?" I asked perplexed.
I couldn't deny I had much to thank Sylvester for. Had he not mentioned those sleeping pills, I would have no doubt bust down the door to join them. Poor Cole would have been helplessly dragged along.
"Yes, something snapped inside me and I could immediately tell that Sylvester would not be enough. That he would become tired if it were just him. Bellamy raised my satisfaction the rest of the way, with the help of that injection. But the fact that my body subconsciously sought you out, only proves I was right... it's still not enough. It scares me... my own body is betraying me." He murmured on a quiet sigh.
"I know it's not very comforting to know this, but we are here for whatever you require of us. Come what may, okay?" I replied.
"O-Okay..."
*Knock... Knock... Knock...*
"Yea, come in Syl." I said.
"How did you know it was him?" Tristan asked finally looking up at me.
"It would appear that someone raised my perception stats during the mating cycle." I said with a smirk.
"Yeah... you know, I felt Bellamy getting closer while I was in bed with Tristan, but I don't sense that same bond now." Sylvester said pondering.
"Hm...? I wonder why...? Anyway Sylvester what's up?" I asked.
Tristan and this mating cycle were clouded in mystery. If we began to question or ponder all the what if's that were going around, we'd be here all day.
"Just confirming Tristan's safety. Payhne said he was sleep walking, so I wanted to be sure he wasn't repeating that action." He said, as he climbed into bed with us.
"Hmm... I see... by the way Sylvester do you have at least 5 men with clean backgrounds and a proper gun permit?" I asked.
"Yeah. Why, what's up?" He replied.
"The ATF is going to shake down the Golden Lion. Could you have them report to Belladohnnis by the end of the day today?" I asked.
"Seriously!? The ATF?! What a nonsensical farce. Does this have something to do with the shoot out I had there last week?" Sylvester asked.
"In part I have no doubt but I'm pretty sure they are trying anything they can to pin us down. Usually the owner would have to attend but I've given the guys full control, due to the situation I'm in." I replied.
"Yeah not sure if you've seen my text from last night or not, but apparently Lore'rahlye's facility hides in plain sight and is known for its beautiful male Omegas. I called Santiago back, since they aren't hiding it makes it harder to infiltrate them. He should be back now, I'll have him and his 9 underlings head over to the Casino. They are all clean and the best at espionage, so they'll get answers from the ATF no matter what." Sylvester said, pulling out his phone and sending a text.
"What's the ATF?" Tristan asked.
"Well, they are a part of the government branch that cracks down on firearm productions and Sales. I have men who smuggle guns in from other places and then other men who sell them, among other things, but none of that is done at my hotels or casinos. So they won't find anything. My men are meticulous in all that they do." I said, reassuringly.
"How many hotels and casinos do you own?" Tristan asked.
"I own 4 in total. Two are located here in Sayenrio. One is in Maihzdin. And the final one is in StohneGarrdin. I use them for money laundering mostly. Though the one in Maihzdin has a counterfeit mint press in the basement." I replied.
"Counterfeit? Press? What's that?" Tristan asked.
"Ah see... A few years ago Sylvester bet that I couldn't steal a couple of minting plates, and well my boys out did themselves and stole a whole set. So unless they change what the Corra bills look like, I can make my own money if I needed to." I replied while looking away.
"Yeah Ferdinand was quite the unruly leader back in the day." Sylvester teased.
"It was your own fault. I just rose to the occasion." I replied.
"What is StohneGarrdin like?" Tristan asked.
"Personally I think it's beautiful. The ocean is close by and the food and culture there is completely different from Sayenrio." Sylvester replied.
"I was... going to run away there after that first night with you guys at the penthouse. I saw it on a commercial once and wanted to see it for myself." Tristan said.
"I'll gladly take you one day. We can go after the mating cycle even. It's far away enough that the facility in Lore'rahlye wouldn't be able to just pop up on us. So it should be fine." I replied.
"By the way... I hesitate to say this but... the kids were in a car wreck. The agents rammed into their van causing it to tumble down the road. Meyhymn protected them all, and then proceeded to eliminate all the agents who dared to harm those girls. The twins were hurt, Raihne has a broken leg and Payhne was cut up pretty severely. But all the kids are unharmed..." Sylvester said.
The look of shock and fury rising on his face paled in comparison to the rage boiling inside him, threatening to spill out any moment.
"Meyhymn also took an agent hostage. Turns out he wasn't a government agent but an Omega from the Lore'rahlye facility. Bellamy said he'd let you decide his fate, considering the hand he played in endangering your siblings and daughter." I added.
"T-The girls are okay right? You promise...?" Tristan asked, looking between me and Sylvester eyes filled with despair and anger.
"Yes, they are fine. And the twins were released from the hospital this morning. They are no doubt with the girls right now." Sylvester said.
"I'd like to see that Omega later, if I can. I have some questions for him..." Tristan said.
"Yeah... I'll arrange it." I said.
Tristan laid back down curling up to me, while Sylvester curled up to his back wrapping his arms around Tristan's waist. Once we were all settled in, Tristan began to softly cry. It was heartbreaking, and also painful, but there were no words to say to comfort him. All we could do was be there for him, in his time of need...

Raihne's Point Of View
I slowly walked into the playroom with Jasper close behind. Kaihsie immediately settled down and looked my way. Delcain and his mother were lying close to each other, while Josephine held Joobehlee close to her.
Kaleb slept on a sofa, while Sable and Arrisa slept next to Tahlia's bassinet. It was a heartwarming sight to say the least.
"Jeez... this is a cuteness overload..." Jasper whispered.
I couldn't agree more. The sight was so adorable and the thought of losing any of this kind of peace was harrowing. I sat down on an empty sofa, as Jasper picked up Kaihsie.
"Hello, beautiful. Why are you the only one awake? Are you hungry little one?" He asked, bringing her to me.
"In that cabinet by the cooking nook, are all their bottles, food, and formulas. The bottles get 6 ounces of water and 3 scoops of formula. Then they eat a jar of baby food." I said.
Jasper dutifully got to work making the bottles and grabbing two jars of food. Then he grabbed two bowls and two spoons as well.
"Do they eat the oatmeal too?" He asked, carrying all the stuff over to me.
"Yeah... mix it with the food and add two teaspoons of water... but why did you get two bowls?" I asked.
Jasper pointed towards Tahlia's bassinet and I noticed she was just watching him silently. I smiled at her and chuckled.
"I see... you have a good eye. She's usually really talkative in the morning." I said.
Just as we were about to start feeding the girls Payhne walked in. He walked up to the sofa and sat down as well. Then one by one the other occupants of the room began to wake up.
"Raihne...? You broke your leg!?" Sable asked.
"Payhne... you look like a mummy. Are you going to be okay?" Arrisa yawned.
"Where are the babies?" Kaleb asked.
"They're being fed by their dutiful uncles Kaleb. Do try to calm down." Lady Josephine said.
"Jasper...? Are you going to be pitching in too?" Delcain asked, looking around.
"Yeah, Rohan will be too. He's going to stop by later in the afternoon with Meyhymn." Jasper replied.
"Uhm... Payhne looks even more scary now, Arrisa." Joobehlee said nervously.
"He's a big Ole softie I'm tellin ya! He probably cried for hours at the hospital." Arrisa teased.
"I did no such thing! Raihne cried the entire time!" He replied, incredulous.
"Can we watch movie marathons today?" Sable asked.
"Yeah... that sounds fun. We can go after eating breakfast and feeding the girls." I replied.
"Okay. I'm going to go shower." She said, walking away in a rush.
"Haaah... she's not honest at all. She's definitely going to go cry. Raihne are you going to be okay?" Arrisa asked.
"Yeah. Broken bones heal. I'll be alright." I said.
They all began to get ready to eat breakfast and then go to the theater. I could see it in Sable's eyes as well, she was definitely going to go cry. I had no words on how to help her. All I could do was strategize a plan of attack against Lore'rahlye to get my revenge. Nobody got away with making the little princesses cry, no one...
