The Four Beta Brothers
Chapter 126

ETHAN

I stared at Elijah, unsure of what to say. Axel and Asher briefly updated me on the situation before going after Juniper. I wanted to follow, but I knew she would be okay with the twins there to comfort her. I had other places I needed to be if all of this was true. "Juniper is your daughter?" I asked when Elijah failed to offer his own explanation.

He slinked back into his chair, looking beyond exhausted. "Yes."

"How long have you known about this?" I asked. Winston was my age, so it didn't take a genius to figure out that Juniper's birth was a result of an affair.

"I had my suspicions when I found out Juniper's mother was pregnant. It was confirmed in a letter I received a week before her parents died," he said. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "This wasn't supposed to come out like this."

"Who else knows? Heline? Winston?" I asked. I felt Juniper's confusion and pain through our bond, and it made it difficult to stand here and speak to the former alpha calmly. My wolf wanted to destroy anyone who made my mate unhappy.

"Heline knows. She's known since the accident with Juniper's parents. Winston doesn't know. I didn't think it'd ever come up again," he admitted.

"Does anyone else know about this?" I asked. My body stiffened as a realization hit me.

"The media reported on rumors of a love child of mine, but no one could ever prove the rumors to be real, and no one ever knew Juniper's name."

"Did you tell anyone about the affair?" I asked. I needed to confirm if my suspicions were true.

"Only Heline, and only after she accidentally found out. What does it matter now? The truth is about to come out. Soon everyone will know." Elijah hung his head low. "I guess it's good I'm no longer the alpha. It would be even more of a scandal if it was." "What about my father? Did you ever tell Anthony about it?" I asked.

"What? No." He looked at me, and I felt him searching my face as he tried to figure out where I was going with this.

"Did Heline ever tell him?"

Elijah paused, as if he had never thought about the possibility of Heline telling anyone about his deep dark secret. "I...I don't know."

"That's why Anthony has been so intent on killing Juniper," I said. Suddenly, his intentions made more sense. Even when Juniper couldn't remember Anthony's dirty secret, he wanted her dead. When he was ready to follow through with his plan to take over, he decided Juniper was too much of a risk.

If Juniper was truly the alpha's daughter, then she would stand in his way of taking over, even if he killed Elijah and Winston. He had to kill the alpha's entire bloodline to be successful with his plan.

"Where's Heline?" I asked. She was the only one who could confirm if my theory was correct. When he didn't respond, I repeated, "Where's Heline?"

His eyes glazed over as he attempted to link his wife. When his eyes cleared, he shook his head. "I don't know. She's blocked me out."

I bit back a curse. I wanted to yell at Elijah for all of this, but I had known him as the alpha for too long, and until tonight, I had respected the man. I couldn't bring myself to yell just yet. "If Heline is working with my father, then everything we prepared for tomorrow no longer matters."

"She wouldn't betray me like that," Elijah said, his anger flaring. He stood up, so he could look down at me. "Heline wouldn't betray our pack like that."

"Like how you vowed to never betray your wife?" I pointed out. While Heline wasn't the warmest of people, there was a nurturing side to her most people didn't know. After our mother died, she stepped up and took care of us. I never would've thought of her as the type of person who would work with someone like my father.

However, a scorned woman was a different force, and I couldn't be sure who I could trust anymore.

Elijah's face hardened. "We have to find Heline." JUNIPER

Axel pushed down the sleeve of my dress, and when he was met with resistance, he turned his attention to the zipper. His fingers slowly ran down my spine as he undid my dress, slowly undoing me in the process. My dress dropped to the floor, leaving most of my skin exposed, but it wasn't enough.

Tonight, I didn't want anything slow or gentle. I wanted my breath completely stolen away. I wanted to be so wrapped up in the physical world that I didn't have time to think about anything else.

Asher's tongue explored my mouth, taking his time tasting every part of me, but I found myself growing impatient. I reached for his pants, undoing his button before slipping my hand inside. I wrapped my fingers around his length and felt him harden under my touch.

He gasped into my mouth, involuntarily bucking into my hand. Then he pulled back. "Wait, June. Maybe we should take a moment to just talk. A bomb was just dropped on you."

Axel stopped kissing my neck, waiting for my response.

As I looked into Asher's eyes, they were filled with concern. He had every right to be worried. The news that the former alpha was my father was just another upheaval in my life, but no matter how much I talked about it, it wouldn't change anything. "I don't want to talk," I said.

I grabbed the back of Asher's neck, pulling him into a kiss. I nipped his bottom lip and then sucked on it all while stroking him back and forth. This was enough for Asher to fall back into the moment.

Axel also continued, but this time he bit my skin, sending a shockwave of pain through me before soothing the spot with his tongue. The combination of the pain and pleasure took away my thoughts and worries. It was as if Axel knew exactly what I needed. Asher pulled his pants down, freeing his c**k and giving me better access to him. I pumped him faster, fueled by the moans escaping his mouth.

Axel dropped to his knees behind me and pulled down my bottoms. His hand pressed against my lower back, encouraging me to bend forward. I found myself staring at Asher's member, and I licked my lips, wanting to taste it. I licked the tip, and Asher sucked in a breath, making me even braver.

As I went to put more in my mouth, Axel smacked one of my a*s, making me yelp. Then he kissed the sore skin, making my legs quake. He massaged my cheeks, making my legs tremble in anticipation. Then, Axel lowered himself even more and slid his tongue between my slit.

I grabbed onto Asher's hips to hold myself up as Axel ate me out from behind. Asher stroked my hair as his brother pleasured me, and I found myself getting lost in the moment, but it wasn't enough. The feeling of being alone while growing up stood on the edge of my mind, threatening to pull me away from this moment. I needed more to distract myself.

I adjusted myself and grabbed onto Asher's length once again. I sucked it into my mouth, and Asher inhaled slowly, trying to control himself.

Don't hold back, I linked him. I wanted him to fall into the sensations as much as I was.

I don't want to hurt you, he linked back. The strain in his voice and his body was obvious. His muscles were tight under my grip, and I knew his body wanted to give in and add to the pleasure.

Don't hold back, I repeated, this time creating a link between the three of us. I want you to fill me at the same time.

I looked up at Asher and met his eyes. He was still hesitant, but as I picked up my pace, he started to move his hip moving with the rhythm of my head.

Axel's tongue continued stroking up and down, making me crave more. I arched my back, trying to signal to him that I was ready for more. He didn't miss the cue and stood up. Seconds later, his pants were off, and he lined himself up at my entrance. Axel and Asher thrusted into me at the same time, and I had never felt so full in my life.

The twins moved in tandem, matching each other's speed. At first, they were slow and steady, but then they picked up the pace. It took everything I had to focus on Asher in front of me, while Axel continued to pound me from behind.

Asher's breath grew ragged, and his body tensed. I knew he was close, so I sucked harder, ready to finish him off. He leaned his head back, and his growl echoed as he came in my mouth.

Axel dug his fingers into my hips as he slammed harder and faster into me. My body shook, ready for its own release.

Asher pulled me up to meet his mouth for a kiss. With his free hand, he reached between my legs and rubbed my little bundle of nerves as Axel thrusted into me relentlessly. This was exactly what my body needed, and a wave of pleasure crashed over me. If Asher wasn't holding onto me, I would've crashed to the floor from the intensity of the o****m.

As my walls clenched around Axel, he thrust harder, finding his own release. The three of us crashed onto the bed, entangled with one another. None of us were coherent enough to speak, and between the alcohol fading from my system and the exercise from the twins, sleep swept through me, taking the confusion away with it.
