Desert Heat (Complete)
Desert Heat Chapter 74

{Dorian’s P.O.V.}

“Oh my god! It is so good to be home!” Allie shouted in the Tahoe as we pulled up to the packhouse. It was late afternoon when we arrived, and we were greeted by our parents with Allen and Sawyer. We had already dropped off Lucas and Sam at their place.

“Oh, my baby boy!” Sin exclaimed while she and Mikey jumped got out of the car and ran over to Allen. “I missed you so much!” she kissed his cheek.

“Come here, big boy!” Mikey said taking him from Sin. Brandon and Leah basically did the same thing with Sawyer. Nick, Paxton, and Simba helped unload all of our stuff.

“Welcome back you two,” my father said to Allie and me. Allie embraced him and thanked him again for paying for her birthday dinner.

Once we all got back inside, everyone went straight to their respective rooms, and we all just wanted to rest. I knew that it would be short-lived once I got confirmation the rogue was captured at the airport. That left us a few hours to unpack and unwind. Allie was in the closet unpacking her suitcase and putting away all of the new things she had bought during our trip.

She was always so organized. I tended to wait a few days before unpacking, but Allie didn’t allow it. I watched from the closet door as Allie put everything away. She seemed genuinely happy and excited to be home. I saw her pull out the diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday and put it on. Seeing it reminded me to bring the other pieces to her, so I went to my side of the closet into the safe and got them for her.

She opened each one and the smile that took over her face made my heart skip a beat. She organized the boxes on the shelves. Once she was done with that; she took all of her dirty clothes and threw them into the hamper.

“Dorian,”

“Yes, beautiful?”

“Are you just going to stand there like a weirdo, or are you going to unpack?” I smiled and unpacked my things as well. It didn’t take long since I didn’t have as much stuff as she did. Once we were both done, I put our suitcases away and we went down to the kitchen to get a snack. Now that we knew Allie was potentially carrying twins, she made sure to eat something every few hours.

“Hi, Mrs. Johnson!” Allie yelled when he entered the kitchen.

“Oh! Alpha, Luna! Welcome home!” she responded giving Allie a hug and bowing her head to me. “What can I do for you?”

“We just want something to snack on,” Allie replied.

“Well, I just made a fresh batch of ranch dressing, and we stocked the fridge full of groceries, what would you like?”

“Anything so long as it was made by you. I missed your cooking,” Allie said sitting at the island. I took a seat next to her.

“I thought you said you wanted a snack,” I tell her.

“Eh, a full meal wouldn’t hurt,” she replied.

“Luna, how about I make you a turkey sandwich with some veggie sticks on the side,” Mrs. Johnson said.

“Yes, please! Extra lettuce please,”

“Alpha, what will you have?”

“I’ll have the same, without the extra lettuce,” Allie was doing her happy dance on the stool while Mrs. Johnson made our late lunch. It only took a few minutes, and as soon as Mrs. Johnson put the plate in front of Allie, she inhaled the sandwich.

“Why is this so good? It’s just a sandwich but it’s the best sandwich ever!” Allie dipped the sandwich into her side of the ranch and took another bite. “Okay, adding the ranch just made it times more delicious. Mrs. Johnson, I swear there is magic in those hands of yours,” I shook my head and smiled. Mrs. Johnson just laughed while putting my plate in front of me.

“Is it really that good?” I asked Allie. She nodded while taking a huge bite. She had ranch all over her face. “Haha! Baby, you’re eating really messy right now,” I said while wiping her cheek with a napkin.

“I can’t help it! I missed home food. Yes, we ate really well, but nothing beats a home-cooked meal,”

“Baby, it’s just a sandwich, it’s not really cooking,” I tell her

“Never diss a good sandwich!” she said while taking a bite of her celery stick. I was glad that Allie was eating healthy while pregnant. Before I knew it, Allie’s plate was clean, and I hadn’t even taken a bite yet.

“Luna, that was fast,” Mrs. Johnson said turning around.

“I kind of want another one, it was so good,” Allie responded. I just furrowed my brow at her.

“I can make you another, Luna,”

“No need, here baby…” I slid my plate over to her. “…You can have mine,”

“You’re not hungry?” she asked.

“I’m okay, I can wait until dinner,” I tell her and quickly mind linked her,

Besides, I’m not the one that has to eat for three

She smiled and took my food. I kissed her temple and watched her eat. Just as Allie was finishing her second sandwich, Brandon came running in.

“Lucas just mind linked me,” he said. Allie and I looked up.

“Well?”

“His team did it, and they’re on their way back now,” Brandon replied. I looked down at Allie who had a serious look on her face.

“I don’t want you anywhere near this,” I tell her

“But…”

“No buts Allie! I can’t command you as an Alpha because you’re my equal when it comes to rank, but I am asking you to please stay out of this. I do not want you anywhere near this, understand?” she lowered her head and nodded. “How far away are they Brandon?”

“Lucas said they just left, so about an hour and fifteen minutes,” he replied.

“Did you get what I told you to get?” I asked

“Yeah, it’s all ready to go. I’m heading to the firm now to get the interrogation room and cell ready,”

“Allie,” I turn back to her make sure she understands.

“I promise, I’ll stay out of it. Just promise me that you do whatever it takes for him to give up Tucker’s location,” she pleads while holding my hand.

“I promise baby,” I lean in and k**s her. “Let’s go, Brandon,” we both head out.

{Allie’s P.O.V.}

After Dorian and Brandon left me sitting at the island alone, I figured I should have a sit down with the triplets. I mind linked them, since they were still off from their duties, and told them to meet me in my office.

“Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, that was absolutely delicious,”

“You are welcome, Luna. Don’t worry about the plates, I will clean up,” I smile and leave. I go up to my office and see that the girls are already waiting outside my door. All three of them look miserable.

“Girls,”

“Luna,” they greeted me, but their voices were so broken. I opened the door and they took a seat on the couch. I sat in the armchair and just looked at them. They looked so defeated and lost.

“Girls, how are you holding up?” I ask them.

“Honestly, Luna, I feel like s**t,” Katie says. The other two just nodded in agreement.

“You still haven’t told the guys yet?” I ask. They all shake their heads no. I just let out a sigh. The triplets were normally so bright, bubbly, and full of energy, but now they looked like zombies.

“Luna, what’s going to happen to us?” Ava asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Do we have to leave? Am I going to be forced to leave Nick?” Savannah asked with tears forming.

“Please Luna, I can’t leave Paxton. I love him so much,” Ava added

“What about my kids? My parents said I have to abandon my children!” Katie said.

“Slow down girls, slow down. I need you to breathe, and try not to cry,” I tell them. I could not even imagine the emotional roller coaster ride they were going through. “I don’t know to be honest. But Dorian and I are going to do our best to try and get you three out of this mess. I will be damned if anyone tries to force you three to leave your mates and your kids,”

“But how? Our parents said that short of finding a mate for one of the Yellow Moon Alpha’s we will be forced to leave with them,” Savannah said.

“Stop it and listen to me. They have agreed to meet with Dorian and C.J. next week at Mojave Mountain. C.J. is hoping that if they find out you now belong to Desert Moon, they will void the contract on their end,”

“What if they don’t?” Katie asks while sniffling. “How am I supposed to leave my family?”

“We have a plan B, don’t worry. I need you, girls, to trust Dorian and me. You three know how Dorian is when it comes to the pack. The pack is our extended family, you three and the guys are our family. Simba is one of my best friends, do you think we’re going to allow someone to come in here and break our family apart without a fight?” They look at each other and shake their heads no. “Okay, now listen to me, I’m going to mind link the boys and have them come in here, and I will tell them everything that is going on. All I want you to do is hold their hands and keep them calm. Sit in their laps if you need to. That always seems to work for Dorian when he gets super agitated or angry. Can you do that?”

“Yes, Luna,” all three respond in unison. I nod my head and mind link Simba and the others to come to my office. A few minutes later, they arrive and see the girls are visibly upset.

“Boys sit with your mates, I have something I need to tell you,” I tell them. They all sit down, and sure enough, all three sits on their laps and wrap their arms around their necks,

“Allie, what is going on?” Simba asks. “Muffin, you never sit on my lap,” he tells Katie.

“Babycakes?” Paxton says to Ava who is hiding her face and sobbing into his neck.

“Angel, what’s the matter?” Nick asks Savannah while looking at me.

I clear my throat and proceed to tell the boys everything about what Mr. and Mrs. Murphy did ten years ago, and how it’s affecting everything right now. As I am telling them everything, all of their grips tighten around the triplets, and the girls are sobbing nonstop when I explain the terms and conditions of the contract and how there is nothing in it that voids it just because the girls have mates. I can see the anger rising in the guys and Paxton’s eyes have gone black with rage.

“Allie, you better not be f*****g me right now!” Simba shouts.

“Watch who you’re talking to Simba. We may be best friends, but I am still the Luna of this pack, and you will respect me,” I tell him with a Luna tone.

“Can you blame him!? You just told us that our mates are being claimed by another pack!” Nick shouted.

“Luna, please tell me this is some kind of sick joke?!” Paxton interjected

“I wish it was, but it isn’t. That’s why the girls haven’t been themselves lately,” I tell them.

“Why didn’t you tell me Muffin?” Simba asks Katie who is sobbing into this neck.

“The girls agreed to wait until Dorian and I came back,” I tell them.

“Wait, you’ve known since you’ve been gone!?” Nick asked.

“We were contacted by Mojave Mountain’s new Alpha, C.J., when Yellow Moon showed up to try and take the girls. The Alpha triplets are 25 and still have no mates, so they just showed up unannounced apparently,” I tell them.

“Why didn’t you tell us when you first found out Allie!?” Simba shouted

“Because I needed to be here to make sure the three of you didn’t burn down the packhouse or do something even more stupid,” I say.

“Like what!?!” Nick yelled

“Gee, I don’t know, go after Yellow Moon!” I shouted back. “You three are some of the highest leveled Omegas in this house. That’s why you’re the guards to the ranked females, along with Andre, Joel, and Leroy. The three of you are just as possessive of the girls as Dorian is of me, as Brandon is of Leah and Mikey with Sin. Am I wrong to think that the three of you would be stupid enough to try and take on three Alphas to protect the girls!?” None of them answer and just sit there with their heads down. The girls have stopped crying and just looked at their mates.

“Allie, please tell me that you and the Alpha have a plan,” Simba says to me.

“We do, and it doesn’t concern you,” I tell him bluntly. They all look at me. “I need you three to do your jobs. Act like nothing is wrong, because the moment you do, it will strain the relationship you guys have. You six need to be strong and believe in your bonds. I need you to trust that the Alpha, me, and the other ranked members will figure out a way to stop this. Dorian is going to meet with them next week,”

“They’re coming here!?” Nick shot up from his seat dropping Savannah.

“NICK! BE CAREFUL!” I shouted.

“f**k, I’m sorry Angel, I’m so sorry,” he says to her picking her up and cradling her. He k****s her and holds her tight.

“No, they are not coming here. Do you think Dorian and I are stupid? I do not want those Alphas in my house, let alone near the girls, or you three hot heads for that matter. Dorian will be going to Mojave Mountain with Brandon to meet with them along with C.J.,”

“Good! I wouldn’t hesitate to rip out their throats if they tried to take my muffin from me and our pups,” Simba says.

“The six of you, take the rest of the day to process all of this. Spend time with each other, Simba and Katie spend time with the twins, love each other, talk through it, have s*x, do whatever you want. Tomorrow, everyone goes back to work and that includes you to girls. Leave all of this to the ranked members, okay?” they all nod, and each shares a k**s with their mates. They all get up and leave my office.

I lean back and let out a deep breath.

“You look like you could use some vodka,” I look up and see Dani in the doorway.

“Hey, you!” I say. She comes in and takes a seat on the couch and bends her knees behind her. “How’s the baby?” I ask her.

“Growing nicely, according to Dr. Quinn,”

“How do you feel? Any morning sickness yet?” I ask.

“Eh, little nausea, but not throwing up yet. I found that sparkling water helps,” I just smile at her. “So, I saw the ginger triplets just leave with their hunky mates, I’m guessing you told them what’s going on?” I nod my head. I figured Andre would have told her about everything. She was basically my stand-in while we were gone.

“It’s so f*****g crazy Dani, I mean, what parents do that to their kids, and then forget about it?” I ask.

“Girl, I don’t know. My dad tried to get me to agree to an arranged marriage with a leader of a vampire coven in Costa Rica or something or rather when I was like 16, and my mom blew a gasket. And my mom is the full vampire out of the two of them,”

“That’s what I don’t get. Mrs. Murphy went along with this, you would think she would have been against it,” I say while resting my fist against my temple.

“Sometimes people are just stupid when it comes to money and power. That’s why my dad did it,”

“Money and power don’t mean s**t if you’re not happy. I mean, look at you and Andre. He’s rich, but that’s not why you love him,”

“Of course not. He’s my partner, and I would love him even if he was poor. Just like you werewolves believing in the mate bond, vampires believe in their lifelong partners. Well, at least the majority of them do. I know a few that don’t, which is why I was concerned about Andre in the beginning, but Allie, Andre is perfect. Beyond perfect. He treats me with respect, shows me love, compassion, kindness, and is super romantic,”

“The romance is because he’s French,” I tell her, and we both laugh.

“That may be true, but I see Dorian is just as romantic with you, same with the others,” she says, and I smile. “The fact of the matter is, I love Andre for who he is, not because he has money. The money is an added bonus. Granted he’s not as rich as your hubby, though I doubt anyone is,” I giggle at the remark. “Finding that perfect mate or partner makes everything worthwhile regardless of money and power. The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Murphy didn’t see that for their girls is just heartbreaking,”

“I get it, and I completely agree. People may say it’s easy for us because our mates have money, but I’m the same way. I would love Dorian no matter what, and I would never use my kids as a bargaining chip,”

“Where is Dorian?” she asks

“Uh, preoccupied taking care of a thorn in our h*p,”

“Oh, no wonder I can’t find Andre,” she says.

“So, have you talked to Siobhan?” I ask

“Yeah, she and Bryce are doing great. She told me that the other day they f****d in their bear forms and that it was the best thing she ever experienced,”

“Hahaha! Good for her! I’m glad she is finally happy,” I reply. “So, have you and Andre had s*x using your vampire powers?”

“Oh yeah, all the time. But the best s*x is when I’m in Vampire mode and he channels his wolf side, oh my god girl!” she fans herself and I just laugh at how flustered she is getting.

“So, how big is he?” I ask her and her eyes pop out of her head.

“Why do you care how big Andre’s d**k is?!”

“Because his d**k is the only one I haven’t seen yet,” I tell her.

“What do you mean by that!?” she exclaims. I smile and tell her about the plane orgy I caused on the way to the Bahamas and having seen all of the guys hard d***s up close and personal. Her mouth was wide open the entire time and she was drooling.

“Dani, you good?”

“b***h! I want to be part of an orgy!” She shouts and I roll over laughing.

“You should, it’s super fun!” I hear someone at the door and sure enough, I see Sin, Leah, and Sam. I just smile and Dani gets excited to see everyone.

“So, about this orgy, when can we make it happen?” Dani asks too eagerly. I just look at the others and we all start laughing.

“Do you think you can handle watching others have s*x while still concentrating on your guy?” Leah asks.

“Oh yeah, I reverse cowgirl Andre all the time, should be a cakewalk,” Dani replies.

“Would Andre be into something like that?” Sin asked.

“Oh yeah, for sure. Andre is super sexually adventurous. We even started doing anal recently,” Dani says.

“OUCH!” I say and shiver at the thought.

“He’s part wolf, how the hell does it even fit?” Sam asks.

“None of you have tried anal? You girls are totally missing out!” Dani exclaims.

“I’m good, I don’t think Dorian’s d**k would fit. It barely fits in my p***y,” I tell her.

“Same, Brandon’s really big, I feel like I’m being split in two with just vaginal s*x,”

“Thank the goddess Lucas isn’t into stuff like,” Sam responds. Sin just stays quiet and we all look at her.

“Sin?” I get her attention. “Are you actually thinking about it right now?” I ask.

“Yeah. I’m trying to think if Mikey’s fat d**k would fit in my a*s,”

“OH MY GOD!” Sam, Leah, and I shout.

“That’s my girl!” Dani says and gives her a side hug. “The o****m from anal s*x is f*****g amaze-balls,” she says.

“I don’t need anal or the extra o****m. Dorian turns me into a pretzel during s*x and gives me enough o*****s to make me blackout from pleasure,”

“Wait, did you say blackout?” Dani asks.

“Yeah, the boss f***s her so hard, she literally blacks out unconscious. He did it to her this morning before we left the hotel. She was out for like an hour. Had he not woken her up, she probably would have been unconscious the entire flight home,” Sam said. Dani’s eyes were bulging out of her head and I just smiled and raised my brows.

“Wow, okay. That’s f*****g amazing. Anyway, what else happened while you guys were gone?” Dani asks. I look at Sam and she looks at me. I mind link her to keep mine a secret, for now, given what’s happening.

“Well, Lucas and I found out that we’re expecting,” Sam says.

“WHAT!? OH MY GOSH, CONGRATS!” Dani shouts and jumps on Sam to give her a huge hug. “How far along?”

“Just under four weeks,”

“Allie did her mind thing didn’t she?” we all nod. “Yay, we’re going to be pregnancy sisters!” I just smiled. I loved seeing this. The joy and love that surrounds me.

I would never allow anything to ruin this for me. Not Yellow Moon, not Tucker, no one will ever take my happiness from me ever again.

{Rogue’s P.O.V.}

Three hours ago

I finally landed back in Vegas after having followed the Luna. I knew that I made a bold move approaching her the other night, but I couldn’t help myself. Only seeing her from afar was no longer enough to satisfy my urges. I had to smell her and see her up close. I finally saw why the master wanted her so badly.

I got off the plane and contacted the master letting him know I had landed and would be making my way to him with all of the new images and reports I made over the last nine days. I made my way down to the baggage claim and waited. While I was waiting, I couldn’t help but feel like I was being followed. But I didn’t sense anyone, other than humans.

I got my bag and went to long term parking where I had left my car. When I was walking, I was starting to feel very uneasy. It was fairly empty because I chose to park at the very top, to avoid any unwanted attention. When I got to my car, I saw someone in the reflection behind me. I turned but was met with a fist to the face.

“What the f**k!?” my nose had been broken.

“So, you’re the rogue that has been following our Luna,” I heard him say. I look up at him. I had been made. But when?

“How did you find me?” I ask trying to stand but was met with another punch to the face.

“The Luna made you the day you went to the boss’ company,” that couldn’t be true. I had sensory blockers. No one could know what I looked like.

“Yeah, maybe you should have thought more clearly before getting into an elevator with her and showing her your face. She was able to describe to you our Beta who in turn made a sketch,” I heard another voice. I saw more and more people showing up, men and women.

“It also doesn’t help that you showed up at the Beta’s club for New Year’s Eve and was made by security. They got a clear photo of you and gave it to the boss. The Luna identified you, and we’ve been keeping tabs,” said one of the females.

“You think you’re so smart, using sensory blockers, and trying to mask your scent. Ha, you’re stupider than you look. The Luna is a blessed wolf whose senses are stronger than any other wolf. We may not be able to sense your rogue stench, but the Luna sure can,” the one who punched me said. The Luna was a blessed wolf?

“Blessed wolf?” I ask.

“Damn, he doesn’t know boys,”

“That means Tucker doesn’t know either,”

“Shits going to be easier than we thought,”

“Gavin, contact Lucas, and tell him we have the rogue and that we will take him to the boss’ company,” the first one said. I looked up and saw his fist coming at me. I felt them beating me nonstop. I couldn’t fight back. I had failed my master. My punishment would be death.

“Don’t destroy the evidence, the Alpha wants it intact, and make sure he’s still breathing. The Alpha has something planned for him,” I hear. That’s the last thing I heard before darkness consumed me.
