Lodging the Alpha’s Omega_M/M Shifter Mpreg Romance Read online

  Sniffing, they must’ve smelled Drake’s scent and backed down from approaching me .

  He had that much influence, huh ?

  The fresh crisp breeze of the wind helped lift my mood. Patting my pocket, I took out my phone and stared at it .

  My father did want updates, and I hadn’t called him for days now .

  My finger was hovering over the speed dial option for calling my father until I heard my name being called .

  “Mr. Purr ?”

  I glanced over my shoulders and saw him striding in my direction, his wispy platinum blond hair blowing in the wind. He had all the signature looks an Omega would have. “Oh, Ethan was it?” His name slipped from my mind there for a second .

  “Yes.”

  “You can call me Steven, something wrong ?”

  “No, I just wanted to have a small chat with you,” he said, smiling .

  We continued our walk through the garden. He stayed silent, mulling over his words. What on earth did he have to say ?

  “You’re now a powerful Alpha’s mate. Your family is influential too, how do you think they’ll take this?” he asked .

  What kind of question was this ?

  “Hmm, me mated to a canine? They’d call me scandalous, but would root for me anyhow.” I plucked a random grape that was growing in the fields on grape fence they had set up .

  “When are you planning to tell them? You’re now officially one of us, so we must — ”

  “Wait.” I stopped him, holding up my hands and hanging my head down .

  “This is going too fast. I need to settle in and break this to my father .”

  Ethan placed his hand over his heart apologetically. “I understand. You’re going to be okay, you know that, right ?”

  “I hope so. Thanks for speaking with me, Ethan. It’s nice knowing that there will be some Omegas around me .”

  “There will be many. Relax, you’ve come into the right pack.” Ethan patted my back and scurried off .

  Instead of getting further lost into the garden, I returned to the Omega Lodge side and went into their lounge .

  Finally, a crowd of people I didn’t feel awkward in .

  Finding a good lounge chair worthy of a cat nap, I sat down and took my phone out. I had to take a second to mentally prepare myself. My fathers weren’t too conservative, but were leery of canines .

  I pressed the speed dial button for my father’s number and waited as the phone run approximately two times. He picked up .

  “Hey, Dad…” I said, lackluster .

  “Steven, how’s my furball?” he asked with that warm soft voice of his. He could put almost anyone to sleep with his sound of voice .

  “Daddy, this is serious. I have something I need to tell you.” I messed with the hem of my pants bottom since my feet were bent up by my hips and I was leaning to the side .

  “What is it? Were you fired? Are you okay?” The panic arose in my father’s voice. He never liked having to wait for bad news .

  “Dad, I…I found my mate,” I said, breathing deeply. Hearing myself say this was crazy. A real mate? Every fiber in my body screamed yes about Drake. But after Alpha Errik, it was hard to still verbally accept .

  “Are you serious? Oh heavens, I’m so happy for you! I can’t wait to tell your Alpha father! Who is this illustrious mate?” My father sounded like he could leap through the phone he was so happy .

  I bit my lower lip before responding. This name was going to drop as heavy as a brick. “Well, he’s Drake — “

  “Drake Gryther!” my father cut in. “A canine! I knew you’d be the most scandalous out of the litter .”

  “Yeah, him. And… I might—might—be pregnant,” I whispered into the phone .

  My father screamed with joy so loud that it blasted out of my phone as if it were on loud speaker .

  “Dad, calm down. I said ‘might’, not ‘am’,” I hushed, feeling my cheeks burn. A few of the Omegas in the lounge that were sipping coffee glanced over at me. God, attention was the last thing I wanted right now .

  “Steven, my son. If you’ve done the dirty with a Gryther, then you’re surely pregnant,” he boldly stated .

  “…”

  Great, like I wanted that confirmed by my own father .

  “There’s still an if.” I looked up and saw Drake peeking into the lounge. We locked gazes, and he carefully strode on over. “Dad, let me call you back .”

  “Okay, let me know this final result of my grand-kittens .”

  “Will do. Take care of yourself, tell Alpha Dad I said hello .”

  I hung up and looked at all the Omegas staring at my mate .

  Drake’s powerful thigh muscles moved under the fabric of his slacks as he moved over to me. Damn he was handsome. Sturdy as an Alpha should have been. His eyes scanned mine, and I broke into a soft purr .

  The other Omegas still stared at him as if he were steak, and I didn’t like that .

  Stopping by my chair, Drake smile down at me. The most warming sensation buzzed through my veins and made me purr louder .

  “Steven, I came to check on you. I’ll get worried if I don’t lay eyes on you every so often,” he said, folding his arms, his scent bursting off of him. I turned in my chair like a spoiled cat, my head hanging off the side of the back of the chair .

  “Maybe you’re just overly possessive,” I purred, stretching a leg in the air. His eyes ran the length of my whole leg .

  “Maybe I’m just your Alpha,” he said with a low growl .

  I shot a few rocky glances at the other nosey Omegas who were still adamant at staring at my mate. Such disrespect, didn’t they smell his scent on me or vice versa? I frowned. This called for a special kind of move .

  “So many eyes are on you. You must be a favorite.” I flicked out one of my claws and licked the rounded top of it .

  “The only favorite I have in here is you,” Drake said, his voice rumbling the room. Some of the Omegas overheard and sighed, knowing they didn’t have a chance. But that wasn’t good enough. I wanted more .

  “It better be, Alpha. My whole family is going to meet you soon when my business convention is over .”

  He raised an eyebrow and switched his standing position to jut one of his legs out. “That thing with that Alpha ?”

  “You can’t get over him, can you? Not jealous, are you?” I smiled .

  “You know you don’t have to work anymore, right?” he reminded me, shifting his arms around against his chest .

  “I’m an independent Omega. I love work .”

  “You don’t want to be pampered ?”

  “I do. I can have both.” I tucked my phone away and turned back to him .

  “Yes, yes you can,” he agreed. His stony visage always softened when he looked at me .

  “I feel like making people jealous .”

  I got out of my comfy plush leather chair and hooked my leg around his waist so I could hoist myself up and against him. Drake held me by the waist, his favorite part to touch me on, and gripped my ass .

  “By all means, do that as often as you’d like, my dear mate .”

  We shared a devious smile accompanied with a mischievous laughter. He carried me away back to where his pack dwelled. The Gryther Manor was by far more impressive than the Alpha and Omega Lodge .

  *

  I didn’t let him knot me again because I had some things to handle. But when we got back to our room, I gave him the blow job of his life. His cock was heavy to handle, but it was fun .

  Drake jerked his hips up as he groaned loudly and shot out thick ropes of cum onto my face. I swallowed some of it too since I was feeling frisky. I forgot how good sex was as a stress reliever .

  Even if the one that was fucking you was giving you the stress .

  I licked the last bits of cum up and wiped my face. I was on the bed between his outstretched muscular legs, sucking his shaft gingerly for any leftover juices .

  “Sheesh, your cum is thick as hell. Y
ou’re right, I probably am pregnant,” I chuckled, making sure there was no more cum left .

  “That’s the trait of a strong Alpha.” Drake rubbed my head, making me purr .

  Sucking his cock was better than I thought it’d be. A bit addictive to say the least. “Heh, guess so .”

  I slid off the bed and grabbed a change of clothes I had bought the other day and went into the bathroom to wash up. When I emerged, I was clothed, clean, and ready to go to the convention. I heard there was important news that I specifically needed to hear .

  “Where are you going, Steven dear?” Drake noticed I wasn’t climbing back in bed. He sat up and threw his legs over the side of the bed. I forgot how Alphas didn’t want to part from their Omegas for long. Not that Errik quite had that problem… by my Alpha father did .

  God, he loved my Omega father .

  “Work. Job convention starts finally. It was postponed for two days, but now they’ve decided to do it a day early,” I explained, making sure I had my ID tag on so I could enter the conference room. It was being held at the Mercury Convention on the east side of town .

  “Technology, right ?”

  “Mm?” I tied my silk dark blue tie and tousled my hair in the mirror to make sure I didn’t look like I just got fucked by five huge Alphas and thrown to the side .

  “You work in the IT field ?”

  “Yes, computer programmer. But on more of an inner layer. I don’t do any programming out of our company like some of the other Omegas do .”

  “The owner is fond of you then.” There he went, digging for another conspiracy of another Alpha plotting to get me into his hands .

  “Drake, I’ll be fine. My boss has a mate, and believe it or not, it’s a Beta female. They have kids and the whole thing. No one’s running off with me .”

  “I’d like it better if you didn’t have to — ”

  I pinched my eyebrows and lifted up my hand. “Stop. This is still my life. I get to make my own decisions. Don’t go making this hard for me .”

  Because regardless of my doubts, I wanted this. I hated admitting this to myself, but I did. I wanted the fated mate life, but I didn’t want it to take away all of my old life .

  “I’ll go with you—” Drake asserted .

  “No you will not .”

  “Steven—”

  “Oh my god, fine. Sheesh. Go take a shower and I’ll wait for you to come .”

  Drake smiled .

  He thought he won .

  Getting up, he stretched his wide chest, flexing every single muscle in his body .

  “I’ll be right out in five minutes .”

  “Okay,” I said, sitting down on the bed and leaning back .

  As soon as he closed the door behind him, I popped up and slipped out the door .

  But as I walked down the hall, I got dizzy .

  Really—

  Chapter 8

  Drake

  I turned on the shower and jumped in, sliding the glass door closed with a click .

  Lathering my favorite soap, I sighed as I cleaned off the remnants of my cum stuck to my chest .

  I grinned at how thick it was. It was only a matter of time before he began to show. His belly was going to be round with our child. Maybe even the heir to my Alpha position over the Gryther pack and Wrendall Town .

  Steven’s independence was …

  I didn’t know how to put it. I wanted him to have all the freedom as anyone else would. But I didn’t want to be the side piece in his life. I wanted a more major role .

  Too bad he didn’t tell me who the Alpha was who hurt him .

  The anger that flowed through my veins caused my fists to ball and shake .

  Who could hurt someone like Steven? He wasn’t full of malice or tricks or games. He was pure and strong. The only thing I needed from him was his trust .

  I was done scrubbing my body and began to rinse off when I noticed that the concentration of Steven’s scent started vanishing immediately .

  As if he has just left the room .

  Sniffing around, I smelled the remnants of him in the shower here. But as I got to the sliding glass door, it started to evaporate .

  “Steven?” I called out, listening to see if he was going to respond .

  I called out again. No response. I pulled at the glass sliding door, but it didn’t budge .

  I pulled on it harder, still didn’t budge .

  “Fuck this,” I growled. I punched straight through the glass and it shattered all over my self-heating floors .

  I made a hole big enough for me to walk through. My feet were tough enough that I could walk on the glass and it didn’t puncture me .

  Opening the door, I saw that Steven was indeed gone .

  My mind was blank with worry. I didn’t see anything clearly and Ethan suffered the price. I crashed into him in the hallway, knocking him off of his feet and onto the ground with a thud .

  Ethan propped himself up with one elbow and rubbed his chest. “Ow, shit, Alpha,” he rasped, catching his breath .

  “I’m sorry, Ethan. Have you seen my mate?” I lent him my hand and pulled him up to his feet .

  Steven’s scent was in the hallway strong. He was just here. The thing that concerned me was that I smelled a fear in his scent .

  “He’s in the medical wing — ”

  “Why!” I roared .

  “Calm down, he’s going to be fine. But he fainted in the hallway a few minutes ago. I saw him go down and called the Med Betas. I think it’s the pregnancy,” Ethan said, straightening his clothes .

  “I have to go see him—” Ethan grabbed my arm .

  “He needs to rest — ”

  “I can’t rest until I see him. Thank you for your concern, Ethan .”

  I rushed off toward the medical wing of our manor, the Med Betas were damn good at their job, but this was my mate we were talking about. I had to personally double and triple check everything that pertained to his safety .

  I arrived in the medical wing in mere seconds. I smelled his scent a few doors up, I was close. The head Betas of the medical wing came out of the doors and saw me charging for them .

  “Let me in,” I ordered. “Do not disobey me !”

  “Alpha, we’re still checking him out,” a female Beta spoke up. She was our head nurse. The doctor was still inside, tending to Steven .

  “And what’s taking so long?” My blood began to feel too thick to circulate in my body. Every inch of me was stressed .

  “Calm down, we’re almost done. We’ve been informed that he’s your mate. We’re making sure he has the utmost care given to him .”

  My inner wolf chastised me. I had to trust them, they were the best of the best and I knew it. I handpicked this team. My judgment was spot on .

  I released the tension in my shoulders and exhaled a long puff of air .

  “Do as you need, Beta Alison .”

  I stepped over into the small waiting area. It was intimate and kept lighthearted and comfortable. Tom strode in, I can tell he was with Aiden. He had a certain happy vibe about him whenever he spent more than ten minutes with him .

  “Hey,” Tom said, sitting down next to me .

  “What the hell was he trying to do ?”

  “Hm?” Tom was at a loss .

  “I told him not to go, he said he’d wait…then tried to sneak out on his own .”

  “Well, that’s what happens when you don’t give Omegas like him space, they’ll take it .”

  “We’re mates. We’re not supposed to — ”

  “Drake, dial back. You’re super traditional with things sometimes. Steven doesn’t look like the same traditional Omega either. So you need to learn to trust that he’ll be okay on his own .”

  “I don’t want him to be on his own. He has me now,” I said, hanging my head low .

  Tom swatted me on the back of my shoulders. “He’ll come around. He’s a bit hesitant and nervous still. You never know, maybe he’s pregnant, and it’s j
ust the hormones making him act out .”

  I jumped out of my seat. “Damn it, why didn’t that cross my mind ?”

  “What? You mean — ”

  “We mated last night. He’s got to be pregnant .”

  Tom crossed his legs. “Ohhh, now I see .”

  “Doctors,” I acknowledged, nodding my head to them .

  Tom stood with me .

  The Beta doctors looked at one another and smiled .

  “Congratulations Alpha Gryther, your mate is pregnant with your child!” the head Beta doctor said, clasping her hands together .

  I smirked, my chest filling up with pride. “Why, I’m not surprised that he is .”

  We all shared a small chuckle. The head Beta doctor handed me a phone that had Steven’s scent all over it. I didn’t want that damn phone, I wanted my mate .

  “What is this?” I asked .

  “There’s someone important on the phone for you. Steven wanted you to speak to him before you went in to see him .”

  “Hello?”

  “Well, well, if it isn’t the head Alpha of Wrendall Town himself. Now that you have my son knocked up, what are your plans ?”

  Son? This was his father then. From the sound of it, it was his Omega father .

  “I plan to take care of him and bring both of our families together to celebrate. Surely the Purr family will be a great addition to the Gryther pack, and vice versa .”

  “You have no objections around you about a feline as your mate ?”

  “None. And no one would ever dare …”

  “Ohh, that rumble in your voice. Sounds like you mean business .”

  I heard another voice in the background… an Alpha’s voice .

  Steven’s father sighed. “Hold on, Alpha, my Alpha would like to speak to you too .”

  “Indeed.”

  I waited on the phone, tapping my feet. The sooner I got done with this, the sooner I was going to be back with Steven .

  “Huh, so you’re that Drake Alpha I’ve been hearing about. Harm my son, and I’ll rip your throat out myself. Other than that, we’re solid .”

  “Understood,” I growled. I didn’t like threats, but since it was coming from Steven’s father, I accepted it. At least I knew he had good family in his corner .

  “Good. Bye,” he said, hanging up .
