Alex's POV

     The drive to the pack center is nice and quiet, theres no awkwardness or any lingering sadness, just friends enjoying each other's company. As I drive, I'll admit to being a little put out with Cody stealing Chloe to huddle in the back and giggle and if judging by James' own upset look I would guess he feels the same. But of course, our Mates know us too well, because they both keep physical contact with us throughout the drive.

     Tobias is damn near purring like a cat with the way Chloe is scratching our scalp. My eyes keep trying to flutter shut at the beautiful sensation. Cody keeps leaning forward to press little kisses against James' neck, making the Alpha clench his fist in efforts to restrain himself. If their little giggles are anything to go by, the little minxes know exactly what they're doing and think it's funny.

     We finally reach the pack center and I can't get out the car fast enough to open Chloe's door and snatch him up into my arms. "Play nice, Chloe." I warn him, nipping his ear before I let him go to walk on his own. I try to hide my grin as arousal seeps into his scent and his hand comes up to grab mine.

'Oh he wants some dick dick!' Toby exclaims loving the public claim that Chloe state's just by holding my hand. We follow James and Cody into the building, the mixed smell of humans and supernaturals hitting my nose.

I see James look around the establishment smiling proudly and he has every right to. Once he became Alpha and graduated high school, James made a lot of changes to the pack, one of them being opening up Pack businesses to the public and allowing anyone to work within them as long as they have credible sources and a good resume.

We turn towards the right, coming down a long beautiful hallway that leads to the spa at the end. Holding the door open, James allows us to step through before taking us to the front desk.

"Alpha James, Luna, Beta, and company welcome to the Lotus Falls." The associate greets us once he sees us. That's a mouthful.

"Good morning, I need you to do a couple favors for me. What's your name?" James says, his code switch prominent as he takes on his role as the caring fierce leader he is. He rubs slow circles on Cody's back as he interacts with the Faerie at the desk.

"My name is Milo, sir. What can I help you with today?" He responds polite and professional. I let go of Chloe's hand to wrap my arm around his shoulders. He sighs happily as he leans into me, paying attention to the interaction.

"Milo, this is Chloe, Alex's Mate. He is granted every privilege that Cody and Alex have. He shall be addressed as Lune Chloe unless he states otherwise."

Milo types away furiously on his computer before turning towards Chloe to smile. "Welcome Lune Chloe, it's nice to meet you, I hope you come to love our pack."

Chloe smiles back gently. "Oh I'm sure that won't take long." He promises the associate and I can't help but think there's a double meaning behind it that I don't catch.

"What else can I do for you, Alpha James?" Milo asks returning his attention back to his boss.

"Please prepare my private spa upstairs for Chloe and Cody, they're getting the works today. Please have your best masseuses come as soon as they're able. They will have a massage, some time in the jacuzzi and whatever else they want. I will double the worker's pay for the duration of our stay for taking time out of their schedule to help." James instructs Milo.

"Yes, sir. I'll make some calls now, if you gentlemen would like to head up to the private spa, everything will be set and ready in fifteen minutes." He says with a smile and a nod. James throws the poor Faerie his thousand watt smile and he all but melts. I see Cody raise his hand to smack James across the chest and I chuckle.

"Thank you, Milo." James says as he begins to lead us towards the stairs off to the side.

✨✨✨

"This was a terrible idea." James says scowling at the sight in front of us.

"How could you ever agree to this?" I ask him my frown matching his.

'I'm going to kill him. I will slice his hands off and he's going to have to deal with it.' Toby says, irritated at what's happening.

James, Sloan, Toby and I look on in distress as we watch our Mates get rubbed down by someone else's hands. And of course James asked for the absolute best and the moans that are coming out of our lover's mouths are making us crazy.

"Tobias thinks we should cut off his hands." I tell James, keeping my eyes on the man touching my princess. If his hands get any fucking lower on Chloe's back I'll kill him.

"Amateur. Sloan thinks we should just castrate him and get it over with." He tells me back before he chokes down a growl as the worker helping Cody gets a big knot and the little bean moans extra loud.

"I think that human is checking out my Mate. I'll kill him. I've heard prison isn't bad if you make friends." I conclude hating the way Chloe's eyes flutter as the masseuse digs his skilled hands deeper into his flesh.

"It's cute. How they think they can get away with making Cody make these sounds. Cute." James says casually, leg bouncing in agitation in restraint.

I grunt my agreement. The boys are facing each other talking in whispers as they giggle and glance at James and I repeatedly. Either of us could probably focus and hear them over the noises of the spa but we let them have their little moment.

That is until the masseuses begin moves down and start working on their upper thighs. James and I stand up immediately growls pulling out of our throats simultaneously. "Oh hush." Cody says turning to look at us with a glint in his eye. "They're doing their job."

James huffs and I just glare at the stupid human with his hands on what's mine. "Fine." James all but growls. "We're going to get snacks." He says grabbing me by my arm to forcefully remove me from the room.

"Bye bye" Chloe calls as we leave the room.

'He's taunting us. They both are.' Tobias growls as he paces in agitation.

'Well whatever they're doing, it's fucking working.' I snap back, a permanent scowl on my face as we make our way to the Cafeteria on the first floor.

James goes to the vending machines to get his skittles fix. "Maybe we should stay down here. I don't know how much more I can handle the sneaky fucker touching my bean."

"Hell no, we need to hurry up there. We don't know what those two are doing in our absence." I disagree as I buy me a bag of salt and pepper chips. We take a seat at a table close to the door as we eat. Even if we're the bosses of the pack, we never go break the rules. There's no food allowed in the spa, and just because we run the pack doesn't put us above any set of rules.

We sit in silence for a minute before I feel James' gaze on me. I wait it out, knowing to let him get to whatever he wants to say himself. I munch on my chips until he speaks up.

"You okay?" He asks, voice mild and serious as he offers an ear and a shoulder to lean on.

"Honestly, you'd be disappointed in me." I admit, keeping my eyes low to avoid his gaze.

"Maybe. But I know if I am, it won't last long. You're always able to redeem yourself." James says always the honest one.

"As angry as I was with Bri for saying what she said to Chloe, I realized yesterday that in a way, I agreed with her."

"With what? Him being a toy?" And though there's no judgment in his tone, I know he's not happy with my admission.

I shake my head as I glance up at him. "No, like even though he promised he wouldn't reject me, I still believed that being loyal to only me and sticking around wasn't in the cards for him. Like I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. When he asked me to Mark him during our Monthly I told him no. I thought it was just the sex haze talking. I didn't even consider he had cared enough and felt a connection enough with me to want my Mark. How fucked up is that?" I rant to him, feeling more and more like shit as I go on. James is silent for a minute, staring into space as he contemplates what to say.

     "Chloe is someone that everyone looks down on in a way. The type of person that everyone thinks only wants sex and nothing else. Believe him to be incapable of loving the way we do because he needs sex to live. So many of his kind are raped and sexually abused because they think they want it even if it's forced. These are things you have to remember when you interact with him. He doesn't want to be seen as a toy, he wants to be treasured for once in his life in a way that doesn't involve sex." James tells me, turning to look me in my eye.

     My heart aches at his words as I finally out two and two together. The nightmares, the wariness, the panic, the insecurities and it all clicks in a way I wish it never did.

     "But don't neglect him sexually that's not what I'm saying. Making love to your Mate is a way to remind them how cherished loved and cared for they are. When was the last time you made love to him?"

     I duck my head in embarrassment. "I haven't."

     James scoffs as he shakes his head. "Well no wonder he's so insecure about your bond I would be too. Take control, show him you care and watch how he changes before your eyes." As we finish our snack and head back up to the spa, I think about what he said, a plan hatching in my head.
