Wyatt snarled back. “Then take care of him. You can see he needs it!”
“Stay out of this, Wyatt. I told you he’s mine.”
“Wait, all of you! I think I know what this is—hemust be Lex’s true mate,” Brandon replied. “We’re bonded to our cousin, so his omega is affecting us strongly too. We’re reacting to Lex’s pheromones as well as Rory’s.”
That got a huge reaction, as Lexington pulled his hand away and started protesting loudly in anger.
“Fuck that! There’s no fucking way a warlock is my ‘true mate.’ I don’t even believe in them.”
Brandon grinned at him. “Maybe they believe in you.”
I felt close to passing out, personally, and wished they’d all stop talking so somebody could just fuck me. I needed a knot with every fiber of my being. Not that I’d ever had one, but I knew it instinctively. I craved being filled up and claimed. I could barely concentrate on what they were saying. My slick was flowing freely by this point, and I was humping Lexington’s leg. He absently bit my ear and slapped my ass. “Stop it. Be good.”
I felt my face flame in embarrassment and hid it against his chest.
“I don’t believe in true mates,” he said softly, turning to the others, but I noticed he kept holding onto me so tightly I could barely breathe. “There’s no such thing. That’s just an old wives’ tale.”
“Listen to me, I think we have to consider the possibility.” Brandon insisted. “And our grandmother told me it was true, and she was an omega. And if one of you assholes callhera liar, we’re gonna have a problem.” He looked around challengingly at them. “Besides, when was the last time you reacted like this to an omega? Think about it.”
They were quiet for a moment as they apparently did just that. The only sound was them panting for breath.
“I mean, yes, they all smell great and make you want to fuck them, but it’s nothing like this. From the first time Wyatt and Ash and I saw him in the Great Hall, or I should say, caught his scent, we wanted him. Calm down, Lex, you know we’d never poach your omega. But it was all we could do to stay in our chairs that night and not just grab him and run out of the castle with him.”
Lexington looked concerned and even seemed to consider what Brandon was saying, but then he shook his head. “I feel the same. But no. I don’t believe it. I won’t. He’s using magic. I can feel it all over him and all around us.”
They weren’t talking to me, but come to think of it, I felt something too, even through my haze of lust. Something dark and powerful was moving around us, and over us, like some predator stalking its prey and about to pounce. I looked uneasily around the room, and I saw the Alphas were doing the same. Lexington set me back on my feet, grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to face him.
“Stop it,” he said, his voice low and full of menace. “Stop whatever it is you’re doing, or I’ll stop you.”
“But I’m not doing anything! I swear it,” I cried.
He raised his hand anyway, and I flinched but glared up at him defiantly.
Wyatt and Asher both grabbed his arm and pulled it down. “Are you crazy? You can’t hurt your mate.”
Lexington dropped his hand and stepped back, looking a little stunned at his own actions. “I wasn’t going to hurt him. I would never hit an omega. I-I was just trying to scare him and make him stop.” He glanced sullenly over at me. “He’s still doing it. And it doesn’t help that he’s naked in front of all of you, and you’re all looking at him. I need to cover him up at least.”
Lexington took a step back as did the others, but he leaned forward again and took my cock in his warm hand. My knees got weak, and I tried to get closer to him, but I couldn’t seem to move. He had me frozen. He looked around at all of us and murmured some words in Latin that sounded like,“Hoc est meum.”
The others, who seemed to have some kind of telepathy with him, knowing what he was going to do before he did it, all nodded their heads. “We know he’s yours,” Wyatt said. “And we’re sorry. We can control this. Don’t worry.”
Lexington pulled his hand away and held it over me as I stood there shivering.“Facere vesta.”
With a loud “whumping” sound, yards and yards of heavy material fell suddenly from the ceiling, just materializing out of the thin air and enveloping me. It was a huge, fur-lined cape falling down over my body. All three of them jumped back so they wouldn’t be covered too. The thing had full, long sleeves and was made of some kind of heavy material, much too warm in this stifling room full of pheromones and Alphas. There were no buttons or laces on the front either, so I had no idea how to get out of it.
“W-what did you do?” I cried, barely able to move under the heavy weight of the cape. “Howdid you do that?”
Lexington looked at me grimly. “You’re not the only one here with magic. It’s time you learned that.”
Chapter Five
Wyatt picked me up and plunked me on the bed, while the other two found an old carpet bag from somewhere and began throwing my few clothing items into it. Brandon went to my dresser to get my hairbrush and the only toiletries I had, and Lexington found my old black cape with the hood. He passed it over to them to be packed too.
“Stick out your feet,” he ordered, and he slipped off my father’s dress shoes and jammed my old boots back on my feet.
“Take him,” he said, nodding to Wyatt and once again, I was picked up like a bride and this time Wyatt carried me out of the room. We headed toward the Great Hall, and Lexington pushed his way past the guards and walked boldly inside. Berinda jumped to her feet.
“Lord Lexington, what on earth? Is something wrong? I thought you’d left for the night.”
