Raihne's Point Of View
"Listen Rohan, I need you to call down to the security box and have them put the mansion on high alert. We are bound to be infiltrated." I said.
"Wait...? We are going to be infiltrated without the boss here? When? How do you know this?" Rohan asked as he stood up, clearly panicking.
"Tristan told me. They were keeping his attendance a secret. In doing this, they might think that he's staying home and attack here while Ferdinand is away." I said.
"Is that what he whispered to you before he left?" Delcain asked.
"Yeah... he asked me to protect you guys as best as I could... and that other Omega too." I replied.
"Hold on, let me get this straight. There might be some people who come here trying to steal the babies away?!" Meahlene asked.
"Yeah. They would use the kids to get to Tristan. There isn't anything he loves more than them..." I replied.
"Oh, hell no! Nahana, Odehssa we are going to fortify this house. I'll be damned if they put their disgusting hands on these precious babies!" Meahlene yelled.
I couldn't agree more, I would do whatever necessary to protect Sable and the others. I made a promise, and I would stick by it. I pulled out my phone and dialed Santiago's number.
– Yo. What's up Raihne?
"Hey do you think you guys could come back to the mansion and help fortify it with us? There is an invasion about to happen."
– I don't mind, but where is Sylvester and Ferdinand?
"They went to a meeting of the Kings."
– Fuck! Without me?!
"Yeah, well if you still want to shoot some suits you better hurry over. Ferdinand has been gone for at least 2 hours now..."
– Understood. I'll be there in 30 minutes.
"Thanks, Bro."
*Click*
I pulled myself up onto my crutches and groaned. It was such a hassle to move around with my left leg in a cast.
"Del, come with me. Rohan, Jasper open the door and wait for our return." I said.
"Right!" They replied in unison.
"Nahana stay here until I come back, Odehssa come with me. We need to make sure these boys are ready for anything." Meahlene said.
We all walked out of the room, me and Del headed upstairs and Meahlene and Odehssa headed down.
"Where are we headed?" Delcain asked.
"To have a chat with that other Omega..." I replied.
Delcain let out an uncharacteristic groan and I glanced over at him, as we ascended the stairs.
"What? You don't like him or something?" I asked.
"Its not that. I just think he's an asshole..." He sighed.
I couldn't agree or disagree, but his life would be on the line as well and he was still my responsibility.
We reached the 4th floor and I knocked on the door. It was silent for a moment, then the door opened slowly to show the Omega wielding a knife in one hand.
"Why do you even have that? Ugh never mind... Are you busy? We need to talk to you." Delcain said.
"About what?" He asked, still not opening the door further or lowering the knife.
"There Is a possibility that some people are going to break into this mansion. I wanted to know if you would like to stay with us in the playroom?" I asked.
"Can I actually stay there?" He asked, shocked.
"Of course. You are my responsibility while the boss is away, and I don't want anything to happen to you. No one will be able to breach the playroom, even if they blew up the door. It's the most fortified room in this house, designed to protect Tristan's siblings." I replied.
"I don't want to inconvenience anyone, but I also don't want to be taken away. Meyhymn gave me a tracking braclet, but I don't want to make him worry... so I'll go... if I can..." He said, lowering the knife.
"Okay, grab everything you need, I'm not sure when it will happen. I'm not even sure if it will happen, but if it does it will happen within the next 24 hours." I said.
The Omega began to grab books, clothes, and some syringe. Then, he put them all in a bag. Afterwards, he went into the bathroom and grabbed a few more things before he was done. He zipped up his bag and slung it over his shoulder and approached us.
"I'm ready." He said, breathing heavily.
I nodded and we headed back down to the playroom. I had had an unsettling feeling in my gut, ever since Tristan told me about the possible invasion. Something was off, and I couldn't put my finger on it. I didn't like this feeling and I just hoped my brother was having a more peaceful time.

Tristan's Point Of View
"Alright Tristan, that's the hotel we will stay in if all goes well. It's owned by Zachariah and it's heavily fortified." Ferdinand said, as we finally reached the inner city of Demhongade.
We traveled through three other duhtchies before getting here. They were all so extremely different. There was an ocean near the second Duhtchy we traveled through. It was beautiful and the grass was so green, it almost looked fake.
Demhongade was like a cross between a grassy plain and a dry desert. I couldn't figure out why it looked like that. It was weird and extremely unnatural.
"Is this Duhtchy supposed to be a grassland desert?" I asked, confused.
"No. It was once a thickly covered grassland with flowing rivers and lush trees. I'm not sure what is happening to it now..." Sylvester said.
"Couldn't they just install underground aqueducts and pump water through the ground? Create their own rivers?" I asked.
"How do you know so much about agriculture?" Bellamy asked.
"Kaleb's mother, Auntie Korrahline, was a botanist. She would build tiny cities and tinker with ways to make them self sustainable or self-sufficient. She had books upon books about agriculture and land development..." I shrugged.
I never read them to learn more about plants or land however, I read them to imagine living in a land far away from the facility. I would imagine what my perfect land would be like and how much fun I would have with my siblings and our mothers.
"Tristan...? Are you okay?" Cole asked.
"Yes... just remembering something from the past." I replied.
"Okay. We are here now. Tristan, remember what we talked about." Ferdinand said.
I swallowed dryly and nodded. My heart was in my throat. I realized there was another reason why the guys had chosen to drive here. They wanted to give me time to calm my mind and focus on other things. I had nearly forgotten why we had set out in the first place.
We all climbed out of the car, I noticed that Meyhymn and Payhne were waiting near the front door of the building.
"How long have you guys been here?" I asked.
"Not long. We got permission to land on Zachariah's private 2nd helipad." Meyhymn replied, pointing to a large helicopter across the way.
"Payhne, are you sure about this?" Ferdinand asked.
"Don't do that boss. I'm fine, Dr. K gave me a clean bill of health already." Payhne replied.
"Do you want me to carry you, Tristan?" Sylvester asked.
"No. We will walk in together." I said.
"Haaah... ridiculously strong at the craziest times." Bellamy mumbled.
"Okay. Sylvester and I will be in front, followed by Cole. Tristan you stay in the middle, while Meyhymn, Bellamy, and Payhne bring up the rear." Ferdinand said.
We all got in line just as he discussed. Then Ferdinand knocked on the door. It opened slowly to show a silver haired man with piercing green eyes.
"Ferdinand! It's so good to see you again. How have you been? Please introduce me to your mate?" The man said, cheerfully pulling Ferdinand into a tight hug.
"Haha. Sure. Sure. Jaymehsyn, this is my mate Tristan. He is also mated to Syl, Bel, and Cole. Tristan, this is Jaymehsyn. He's known all of us since we were kids." Ferdinand said pulling me closer.
The man extended a hand to me and smiled wide. After I took his hand, he pulled me into a tight hug as well.
"It's so great to meet you. Please take care of these four. They can be quite thoughtless at times. I wish you nothing but happiness. If you ever need anything, just call your uncle Jaymehsyn." He said, handing me a small card.
"Thank you. I'd love to hear the old stories you have on these guys." I said with a grin.
"Ohoho! Indeed!" He said with a wink.
"Yeah, you'll be doing no such thing." Sylvester said, pulling me behind him.
Bellamy snatched the card away with a chuckle, and put it in his breast pocket.
"Well, the others are all waiting inside for you. Let me guide you in." Jaymehsyn said, leading the way.
We walked down a long hallway, and came to a stop at two large black leather doors with silver engravings. Then, Jaymehsyn pushed open the doors, and all eyes focused on us.
It was a terrifying sight. I swallowed audibly, and glanced around the room. There were men standing along the wall, also men and women standing behind their respected Kings.
In the largest chair, sat a man with silver-white hair and bright green eyes. He gave a subtle smile as Ferdinand and Sylvester took their seats.
"Tristan, sit with Ferdinand." Sylvester said.
I nodded and walked towards Ferdinand. As I made my way to him, I felt several of the Alpha's pheromones flare and shuddered. After I sat down with Ferdinand, he leaned in close to my ear.
"Control your pheromones as best you can. If it gets to be too much, just pinch me and I'll give you the injection that Bel made for you."
I nodded and glanced up, then realized too late that everyone was looking at me in wide eyed shock.
I glanced over at Sylvester and he smirked, while chuckling. Then I felt Ferdinand's pheromones flare and everyone but the man with white hair flinched and covered their noses.
I relaxed as best I could and leaned back against Ferdinand's chest. I was becoming exhausted and the meeting hadn't even started yet...
