Hades bowed to his parents while his new wife just bowed her head in respect. Celesia approached her son and after giving him a last inspection from top to bottom, she nodded and gave him a kiss on the bridge of his nose.
-Visit us more often or I swear that I come to see you; your brother goes at least every three months-
-Or every time he escapes,- Hades finished saying and kissed his mother back. He knew that she missed them, only that in recent times and since they decided to live a freer life, it was more difficult for them to find each other.
-Leave that to me- Nebraska blinked slowly- I will put a routine for you to visit them and incidentally take my children, they were talking to me all night about you and they will be grateful to be able to visit you regularly-
-You see Hades- Celesia ignored him and turned to the queen – This was the daughter-in-law I needed-
The alpha touched his temple
-Nebraska, you’re supposed to be on my side-
-Why? I support my own side, and in this case that of your parents-
The wolf couldn’t tell if she was being serious or just joking.
-Son, you know that it is useless to argue with your mother, she is always right, how do you think we have been together for so many years-
-Saisen, watch your words,- the she-wolf said over her shoulder to then pay attention to Nebraska, ignoring them.
-That is something that I still do not understand, my mother is too severe and you are …- he looked at his father up and down and in character Leoxi was more similar to him- I still do not understand you-
-You will son, I can reaffirm that to you- he clapped Hades on the back- Celesia, let’s go. Hades, say goodbye to your brother and Siran-
The alpha nodded and said goodbye to his parents who began to walk away side by side. They were very different, like night and day, but together, they looked damn good.
Saisen walked in good spirits and took his wife’s hand.
-What did you think? Here between us-
She looked at him shaking her hair.
-Adequate, interesting, I have no complaints-
-My beautiful wolf, as direct as ever- he stood before her and carried her making her wrap her legs around his waist- You are really happy, I can see it in your eyes-
Celesia reached out and kissed her lips.
-Not every day your oldest son gets married and I have five grandchildren as a gift, although I am too young to be a grandmother.
-But if you’re older than me-
Saisen smiled and kissed her again as he kept walking getting hit on the buttock with a heel. In his alpha days the situation had been turbulent, the arrival of his children almost brought chaos, but he had no regrets.
Hades turned after losing sight of his parents and waited for Nebraska to join him walking back to the mansion.
-I see you’ve good chemistry with my mother-
-Does it bother you? – She waved her eyelashes- She is an interesting woman-
The alpha raised an eyebrow; he had to prevent those two women from joining too long. His mother knew a lot, and Nebraska was a fast learner.
He kept walking and concentrated so much on what he was thinking that he did not realize he had left Nebraska behind, that he only left space until he almost reached the entrance of his now home. Siran came out to greet them and showed him some papers that did not seem so important from the expression on their faces.
Nebraska looked first at Siran and then at Hades’s broad, muscular back and remembered something she’d seen a few days ago that was stung with curiosity to try it. At that moment she had just emerged from an attempt to converse with Catalina when Siran walked past her with Sara on her back. It didn’t look like the most decent position, but she seemed to be enjoying it and he was comfortable.
She had never had so much contact with any man to do something similar but the idea of trying it pleased her. As the level of the conversation between alpha and beta dropped, he ran towards Hades and jumped up on his back even though she felt her legs in the air. Only when Hades put his hands under her thighs and propelled her up was he in the right position.
Siran looked at her with a raised eyebrow and had to admit that he found the look of surprise on the omega’s stoic face even amusing.
-Alfa, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll finish attending to these matters on my own, you can take some time alone- the beta always so intuitive.
Hades nodded and walked over to the wolf behind him.
-Like?-
-The view is perfect- being so small and he so big, the angle of vision was altered significantly- Can you walk with me behind? I saw it with Sara and Siran and it looks like fun-
The alpha smiled. At last she was acting like someone his age and that told him that her soul was not completely broken. In addition, after having marked her they had gotten significantly closer, because by feeling the sensations of both, although of different intensity, they could understand each other even better. And he couldn’t deny that they were quite compatible.
What he liked most about Nebraska was both its availability and efficiency, it had helped him solve in the last two days, some issues where she had given a positive opinion. His knowledge was not scarce and his way of reasoning was quite agile. It was fast and accurate. He couldn’t deny that he had found the ideal queen.
As for intimacy, he had given her body rest. While his toxins were almost completely fused within her body, he did not dare to touch her beyond simple kisses and brushing. He wanted her to be at her best the next time he took her, knowing she couldn’t hold back like their first time together.
Hades walked into the mansion with her on top and he hardly noticed. Nebraska weighed absolutely nothing. His arms were around his neck, stroking the curve of her clavicle with his fingernail like an involuntary but dangerous act.
He went to the dining room where the bustle could be heard from his position. Lunch was being served and as they entered they found that almost the entire herd was arriving as well as them. Although a certain quartet was already seated at the head table. He walked there and the youngsters opened their eyes to see their mother over Hades as if she were a young wolf cub and instead of criticizing the eyes of the two youngest ones lit up.
-Nico, I want to do that- Noa approached his brother and shook his arm.
-Not now, you must have lunch first-
-But Nico, it looks funny-Alan protested from his seat- Alpha, we also want to ride like this-
-Listen to your brother, after lunch- he smiled sitting down after lowering his wife- Rodrigo can also carry them-
The two boys’ smiles faded as they looked towards their older brother.
– Don’t you think so Rodrigo, you don’t have to do anything afterwards- pressed the alpha.
The minor nodded slightly.
-It’s okay Rodrigo, you don’t have to- Alan said, shaking his hands.
-I can,- he pursed his lips nervously, astonishing them.
-Then the four of us will be,- Nicolas concluded with a sigh, knowing the alpha’s intentions and with whom he could not argue. It did not include his sister knowing her punishment.
Nebraska admired her children and whispered thanks to her husband.
Food was served and it was the only time when everyone was mildly silent. That afternoon a shipment of soft wine had arrived courtesy of a herd, which they distributed among all, and Hades took a large glass. He didn’t let Nebraska taste a single drop by claiming for her health, lying in the process.
Rodrigo looked at his glass a little doubtfully and took a sip, pushing it away after the taste that was too sweet and spicy that he did not like.
-Ah Rodrigo- exclaimed his younger brother- That was the glass of the alpha-
Sure enough, Hades had left his glass out of place and the wolf had taken it without realizing it. Rodrigo eyed the alpha warily.
-No problem, if you want you can keep it- he smiled as he chewed a piece of meat.
He didn’t keep drinking but he liked the idea of not being scolded every time he did something wrong. Eating as a family didn’t feel too bad.
Lunch ended when there was hardly any food on the plates.
-Nebraska, I will return with Siran to finish the papers, you can go to rest if you wish, I will not delay- but as soon as Hades got up his body began to stagger.
Nebraska could only watch as the alpha of his pack, who was previously perfectly fine, fell to the ground unconscious with a trickle of blood coming out of his mouth. And shortly after him Rodrigo slipped from his chair in the same situation.
A silence invaded the dining room and heavy seconds passed before everyone reacted.
