Their Christmas Gift

Ours

Deakin pov

My whole life has been a battle for control. Not with my brothers, no, they have always supported me. The battle is with myself or, rather, my wolf.

Kreed has made me strong, but he also likes to be in charge, which is why Dex put us in charge of our warriors. I run all the trainings, oversee all security and border control for our pack, and deal with any rogues or traitors, personally.

Nothing satisfies Kreed more than some bl**d shed.

I'm not bad...... I just don't tolerate disrespect.

When we found our little mate last night, I thought Kreed would be mad. She is so small, so innocent, but something about her intruiged us. There is a fire in her we can sense. Something special about this girl.

I've led our warriors for many years, even under my father's rule, so I've worked closely with Jonas and Aiden, and yet I never met Ariah.

It's strange that Aiden is one of our best fighters and leads one of our strongest border patrols, and I felt we had a friendship of sorts, and yet he never really mentioned his sister.

Something feels off about that, and I want to find out why she was so sheltered. She doesn't look abused or unhealthy, and she seems completely normal, so why is she a secret?

Kreed, let's out a dark chuckle in the back of my mind.' That's because our little one is more than she seems. There is a fire inside her, a fierceness waiting to be set free. I can feel it.' Maybe, but she's also so small, my little one, and I will do everything to keep her safe.

Entering the dining room, I take my seat to the right of Dex, who sits at the head. Looking to the empty seat opposite me, I realise Dane didn't leave with us.

A few minutes pass, and finally, our younger brother appears. " And what took you so long?" Dexter asks with suspicion.

" I was doing the gentlemanly thing, unlike you both! I showed our mate where her belongings were, you know, so she could actually get ready for the day." Crap, my brother is right. We didn't tell her we had her things brought here, not that she had much. It surprised me and my brothers when her things arrived, and it was a modest amount of clothing, a few family photos, and some art supplies.

My thoughts are interrupted when Ariah enters the dining room.

Dressed in pants that hug her slight curves and a top that shows off her midriff, a little hint of cleavage visible at the top makes it hard to stop the growl that leaves my throat. Her long hair tied up, leaving the milky skin on her neck exposed, showing off the place where my brothers and I would mark her.

" S.. sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long." She says quietly.

" Not at all, Ariah. Apologies for not showing you around. Perhaps after breakfast, we can give you a proper tour of the pack house? It is your home now, after all." Dex tells her smoothly, and I see her relax slightly at his words. Still standing near the door, I realised our little one is unsure where to sit. Standing I move to her side and placing a hand on her lower back, I guide her to sit in my seat, and I take the one next to her, not wanting her to feel on the outer.

She sits there quietly as the three of us stare like teenagers who have never seen a girl before. How has someone ten years our junior got the three of us wrapped around her finger in under twenty-four hours? It is ridiculous. We are three fully grown Alphas!

The door from the kitchen side of the dining room opens, and two omgeas enter, pushing the breakfast trolley and coffee cart. One of the omega's places a plate infont of each of us piled high with pancakes, eggs, and maple bacon. The other serves each of us our coffee before they scurry out of the room. Digging into my food, I am suddenly distracted by the most amazing sound coming from the young woman next to me. Ariah lets out another moan as she pops more bacon into her mouth, and as she does, I feel my pants get much tighter. Glancing at my brothers, I can see how much her moans are affecting them, too. ' This is torture.' I hear Dane say through the mindlink I share with my brothers. ' Agreed. I can't wait to be the reason she makes those noises soon.' Dex adds. ' Not soon enough,' I add as she lets out another delicious moan.

Once we've finished our food, our plates are quickly cleared away.

" That breakfast was amazing, thankyou." Ariah says to us with a smile.

" It sure was." Dane replies with a wink right as Dex punches him in the arm. " So, how about we give you that tour now?" I say, trying to shut up my brothers.

" That would be lovely. I'd only ever seen the pack house from a distance until last night. I can't believe how big it is." My little one sounds adorable as she waits excitedly for us to lead the way.

Dex leads the way, taking us through the lounge and theatre room, the ballroom, kitchen, and then up to the second floor, which houses some of our warriors who choose to stay here. As we head up to the third floor, Dex points out our offices and the office designated for our future luna, explaining that she will be able to redecorate eventually when she takes over.

Finally, as we reach the fourth floor, he shows her our bedrooms, starting with Danes and then mine and finally ending with his. " But this is the room I stayed in last night." The innocence in her voice is making my c*ck stir.

" That's correct." Dex replies cooly.

" Where will you sleep, though? If I am in your room?" Oh Goddess, she is too cute.

" In my bed, as will my brothers." Dex leaving no room for argument.

Ariah is blushing and staring at us with wide, timid eyes, and I can't help but take a step towards her.

Every step I take to her, she takes one back until her legs hit the edge of the bed, caging her in.

I feel my brothers either side of me, taking in the sight of our innocent mate as I lean in and inhale her intoxicating scent. She visibly shivers at my actions, and I can't help but push further.

Brushing my lips against her ear, I ask, " So tell me, little one, have you got any idea what mates do when they are sharing a bed?"
