The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Chapter 41: Dreamy Duo

Felicity’s POV

I bypassed the team of doctors and nurses asking me what I was doing in here. I was transfixed by the sight Malachi with tubes everywhere. They were monitoring his heart rate and breathing, giving him oxygen and intravenous fluids. I could see where the bullet had pierced him based on the soiled bandage on his right chest. I had spent the entire drive here crying but now, I fought back the tears. I did not want him to see me crying in case I was the first thing he saw when he awoke. I could scarcely believe my own husband, my best friend of so many decades, had done this. I shuddered to think that Farris was capable of something like this. I had to believe that Malachi would make it for my own sanity but what would become of Farris? The punishment for an attempt on one’s Alpha’s life was death, or at the very least. banishment.

“Excuse me, Miss, you can’t be in here, I’m sorry. Only relatives at this time, preferably just the next of kin,” said a young doctor in pink scrubs.

“I’m his mate,” I said softly.

She looked shocked. She, of course, recognised him as the former alpha. She did not try to disagree with me or trouble me further. She just nodded and walked away as if not surprised that the alpha’s supposed “luna” was not his real mate.

“Who is the next of kin?” I asked, curiosity and jealousy nagging at me.

The doctor glanced at her file. “Maze Mason, his son and current alpha,” she said matter-of-factly.

Relief swept over me. I knew it was petty and childish but I was happy not to hear his wife’s name come out of her mouth. I thought of my Friday at the mention of Maze, her mate. Friday’s father had just shot her mate’s father. What kind of crazy train had I let my only daughter board? This was essentially my doing, my poor choices. My fault. Water droplets hit Malachi’s hand, the one I was grasping and stroking

gently. It took me a little while to realise the water droplets were just my own tears finally falling. I took a deep breath, trying to come down. Malachi stirred.

“Malachi?!” I cried anxiously, gripping his large hand a bit tighter. He groaned and slowly opened his grey eyes.

“Malachi!” I squeaked, rushing forwards kissing his forehead, his cheeks and the tip of his nose. I kissed his forehead and planted kisses along his jawline and neck. He chuckled happily and then winced as if it hurt to laugh.

“Baby, I’m so happy you’re ok,” murmured Malachi, gazing up at me and squeezing my hand, using it to pull me to him.

Even in his wounded state, he was so strong. I stumbled a little and ended up half-lying against the uninjured side of his chest, siting on the left side of the bed.

“You’re happy that I’m ok?” I asked incredulously. Was it the painkillers? Were they making him loopy?

“Yeah,” breathed Malachi, closing his eyes. Tears fell from the corners of his eyes and I quickly wiped them away and kissed the paths they had travelled on his cheeks.

“I thought he had gotten to you first,” Malachi explained. “Before coming to me.”

“Or worse, tortured you first and then shot you or something,” Malachi said. “I was scared out of my mind. I…Felicity listen…enough is enough. I’m tired of this.”

I stiffened. I was terrified he was trying to be rid of me again like when he rejected me for being a rogue in my youth although he claimed that had been to protect me from his father. I waited with bated breath for the rest of his epiphany.

“I don’t want to waste anymore time…not a single second of it, living a life I don’t really want. We can take all necessary precautions to be safe and away from my Dad and your ex-husband. Besides, Dad is so old now…” Malachi trailed off.

I bit my lip. The anxiety was killing me but I did not want to rush him to talk in this state anyway. It must be such a huge effort for him. He was rambling a bit. I had noticed Maze did that too sometimes when he was trying to express an emotion for once. I had asked Fang to eavesdrop a little. I had been so worried when Maze had initially rejected Friday. I did not want her feeling second best her whole life. She already felt that way because of not shifting when she came of age.

“What I’m trying to say is…Felicity, you’re my mate, my true Luna, the love of my life and I hope it’s not too late to ask you to be my wife,” said Malachi softly gazing up at me.

“I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I wanted to spend the decades that passed with you too. Let;’s do that now. I don’t want to waste another day. I’m in love with you, Felicity and I have been for over twenty-five years. I don’t deserve you or your forgiveness but you deserve the happiness I stole from you and from myself. Please, marry me Felicity and make me the happiest man alive,” Malachi said, his grey eyes alight.

“I really hope this isn’t the morphine talking,” I said, sniffling, as tears streamed down my cheeks “You’re the only drug in my life,” Malachi retorted winking. I rolled my eyes and kissed him gently. “Yes,” I breathed against his lips. Elizabeth’s POV

I stood just outside the curtain between the critical area beds in the resuscitation room. They had allowed me to stay because I was his wife. Now, I got to hear him propose to someone else, his mate, his“ true luna.” I would not say my heart was breaking because it broke long ago. In a sick way, I understood Farris, I’d rather be the one my love was in love with than the one they married for reasons other than love. It felt empty. It was cruel. I felt used. I would never be rid of this woman whether in full with her taking my husband or in miniature with her daughter taking my son.

Maze’s POV

Friday’s delicious scent knocked all thoughts of my father from my mind as the animalistic part of my brain took over. I needed Friday. She was a need and a want. I spotted her just down the hallway surrounded strategically by Fang, Theo, Fallon and Fargo. They were easily dealt with. I shook my head. What was I saying? I needed to get out of here. I felt Thaddeus’ hand on my shoulder. He was looking at Friday too, his blue eyes darkening. If she had spotted or smelt us she showed no signs of it. The four men seemed engrossed in their conversation. Thaddeus pushed me back behind the curve of the hallway where we were out of sight. He did not say anything but limmediately knew what he was doing. . Suddenly there was screaming coming inside the resuscitation room. It sounded like two she-wolves fighting and a male werewolf yelling. Fang and Theo ran towards it instructing the twins to stay with Friday. Friday immediately asked to use the bathroom, complaining when they tried to go with her. The twins who seemed to love drama sauntered off in the direction of the noise too while Friday ran down the hallway. She walked right past us and locked eyes with us with a little smirk on her pretty face. My heart leapt at the sight of her. How I’d missed her! Her curves and her shiny wavy hair. Her gleaming golden skin ana splatterea ner insides with my seeu.

Thaddeus immediately followed behind Friday as she walked into the ladies’ room. I trailed behind hoping it was empty. Friday walked down the line of empty stalls and entered the last one.

Friday’s POV

Thaddeus gripped the door before I could playfully close it. My stomach clenched. I had forgotten how big he was. Seven feet tall. I had forgotten how big they both were as Maze entered the tiny stall after

Imost eye-level with him. Thaddeus banged the door shut and Maze swung the latch across to lock it. Both of them regarded me with black eyes. Their scents mixed together and filled the tiny stall: rainforest and orchard. My wolf was purring. She did not want to make any movements towards them. She had been craving being hotly pursued and roughly man-handled. They took a step towards me. There wasConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

nowhere for me to go. My core was dripping already from being this close to both my alphas during my heat. My body wanted to make sure I was lubricated enough to handle them. They were making me nervous and a little self conscious just staring at me hungrily but not doing anything. I felt an episode of the heat pain coming on.

“I…”I began but the words died on my lips as Maze jacked me up against the wall and silenced me, crashing his lips against mine. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist. I whimpered as the pain in my abdomen flared up but Maze knew exactly what to do. He forced my blouse upwards to reveal my tummy. He raised his shirt and pressed his bare rock-hard abs against my smooth midriff. The skin to skin contact instantly cooled the pain and replaced it with mounting pleasure as I felt the huge hard bulge in his pants pressing against me. I moaned into Maze’s mouth. My wolf whimpered suddenly wondering where was Thaddeus but she immediately relaxed when he pulled on our hand. Maze broke the kiss and shocked me by handing me over to Thaddeus like I was a rag doll they were playing with. They lifted me so effortlessly. Thaddeus’ kissed me with an intense urgency, nipping my lower lip and making me squeal. He took advantage of this moment and claimed my mouth with his tongue. Maze was behind me, planting kisses on the nape of my neck. He tore my blouse off getting frustrated with it being in the way. I gasped and Thaddeus deepened the kiss assaulting my tongue with his. Their hands roamed my body. Their grips were so tight I knew they would leave marks. I wanted them to. My shorts were ripped to shreds. I was not sure by whom. My core was soaking my underwear. Thaddeus broke our kiss and lifted me up high effortlessly. I gave a squeal of surprise. Thaddeus put me on his shoulders my p***y against his face and my behind pressing against Maze’s face. They promptly tore my soaked underwear off after taking just a moment to relish its smell. This was sort of like my dream. Were they both going to eat me out,p***y and ass at the same time. I was literally dripping down my inner thighs. I saw Thaddeus lick up the drips, his tongue following their path upwards to their source. I cried out at that. I felt Maze’s hands kneading my butt cheeks and I shivered. He parted them allowing the cool air to nip at my back opening. The moment right before both my mates started eating me out in real life, no more dreaming, was the most sexually tense moment of my life. All the tension was about to be released by Maze and Thaddeus. The part of my brain that was not hazy vaguely remembered a past where my two loves hated each

other. They were quite chummy all of a sudden. Even deeper down, something nudged at me, hadn’t we all come to the hospital for some important reason? I felt Thaddeus tongue enter my p***y just as Maze’s tongue entered my ass and all rational thoughts left me for the time being.
