Let's GO!
….And Destiny
"Shit!"
He burst through the door of 'his' room as it slid back, his forehead hot with perspiration, every word he'd heard etched onto his soul. The heat of his anger caused sweat to dot the smooth curve of his cheeks to heat a becoming pink as he flushed. He looked back at the door, his fingers clenching around the slinky collar.
A fucking journal? It was a repeating litany. He wanted to exhume his father's body and smack him over the head, kill him, resurrect him and do it again. To let him believe all his life that he was an Alpha. To give his blessing to two alphaswas ludicrous. This entire situation was ludicrous.
Yet the unescapable feeling was upon him. He knew that getting away from the two now would be almost fucking impossible.
"Fuck!" He sat on the bed and lowered his head into his hands. "Damn it dad!"

"No wonder the native Alphas went crazy when they had to deal with that," Ryuichi stated, the sweet scent of their mate lingering in his nose. Zero's behavior was a direct challenge to his authority filling him with the instinct to take, to subdue, to pleasure, to capture.
"We need to go in there and tell him the rest," Kaname replied laconically, "If we want this to go smoothly." He was leaning forward like he was trying to get one last glimpse of Zero's firm, round bum.
He couldn't deny that he'd love to see it again too.
But they hesitated, unsure if they could withstand continued exposure to the person they wanted most without doing what their natures called for. Zero was already carelessly walking a fine line, what with the months of eluding their grasps and the way his body shifted under that flimsy robe. And openly defying them. That, more than anything stuck in his craw. The silver haired, bad tempered virago was theirs and he was going to accept it. But…..if he continued to defy them, it was going to go sooner than they'd planned on. So for all of their sakes they were going to have to exhibit patience and rest on their laurels. Yet Kaname was right they were going to have to roust him out of his nest sooner rather than later. The heat was almost too much for all of them, the warmth of Zero's intense need saturating the luxury home.
He reached up to loosen his collar. It felt as if a bead of sweat rolled down his face. He would deny it to the end, but he just wanted to go in and show Zero what he was to them.
"We have to go in there and tell him. If we let it go on he'll resent us later," Kaname breathed, swallowing deeply.
"We can't go in there."
Ryuichi threw him a dirty look. for the thousandth time he wondered how he'd ended up in this situation with his top rival. It ran hand in hand with Cross' sure knowledge that they would up in this situation. The damn man had seemed psychic. Ryuichi had thought the man daft when he'd suggested the merger of their companies only to find out later that it would be essential.
And he known what they were from the start.
The minute they'd caught Zero's scent everything had become glaringly obvious. He'd thought that he'd share his mate with someone who was close to him, not that there were many, but Kaname Kuran? He would never have thought of that in a million years.
Of all the people he would end up having to spend the rest of his life with.
Kaname gave him an evil look as he read his impassive face, understanding his thoughts nonetheless. His own thoughts were clear in his eyes before they shuttered.
The result of that action went unvoiced between them although they both knew what would happen if they stepped beyond the boundary they'd set for themselves.
"We have to," Kaname insisted. "The longer we put it off, the harder it will be to gain his trust. He has to know everything going in."
Uncharacteristically for him, Ryuichi sighed. "You're right this time. But it won't go well."
"Call Takuma and Kain. This would go easier if we had some support," Kaname suggested. "I know you're very private but this can't be helped if we want to claim our mate in the correct way."
Shit! He was right. They had to to do this right and go slow in the same token. They had to go slow. Had to give Zero a chance to come to them.
"It's a good idea," Kaname coaxed. "Their presence here will be jarring enough to off set the 'Need'."
Ryuichi almost sighed again, knowing that his counterpart was right. "Okay. Call them."
They waited intolerable minutes before the doorbell chimed. Roughly a half hour has passed while they waited, tortured with Zero's saccharine scent permeating their home. As soon as the three entered the luxurious holdings their arousal subsided somewhat just like Kaname had predicated. The foreign smell underlaid Zero's, repugnant to them in their heightened aware state.
It was almost a relief.
They watched as the two tall males entered the room with their ethereal mate, their eyes curious. The mischievous blond practically burned as he walked, his skin glowing and healthy, evidence that he was well treated and well loved. A slim circlet of blue sapphires circled his throat, proclaiming who he belonged to. They were all blond, though their eyes were of differing colors and the Alphas stood several inches above their omega. Their omega, who stalked through the room with confidence, his blues eyes rivaling lapis lazuli. He threw a smirk at them and settled himself to lounge on one of the love seats, his expression slightly mocking.
"So, you've finally cornered your omega."
Kaname scowled while Ryuichi remained impassive.
The slightly shorter of the two Alphas, touched his Omega briefly. "Tone it down little one. Now is not the time to antagonize them."
His Omega pouted. "But why? They did all the time while you were 'courting' me."
"Yes, but the situation is different when you are squarely in it than when you look back on it, Now is not the time."
"Awwww….."
"Believe me little one you will get plenty of chances. Now let's do what we were called to do. Shall we?" His voice was polite as he gestured to the door leading to their private quarters.
Ryuichi glared at Kaname. "If the need gets out of control, you'll take full responsibility," He warned, his voice deadly.
Their carefully constructed camaraderie evaporated as they approached their bedroom. The room they had opted to sleep in together, knowing it would end up that way once they'd gotten their mate in their grasps.
Zero's scent coated the walls, the floors, everything they passed, effectively marking his territory. Telling them he was ready for mating.
"Fuck," Kaname muttered as they paused outside of the door, not close enough that it would slide open but close enough to be tested. As one they steeled themselves to go through the door. When it swished open and they entered, both of them knew they'd made a tactical error. Even with the presence of the threesome behind them, it was almost impossible to curb their instincts.
In the room their mate had slept, his sweet scent was like a sea and it drenched their senses. Zero was lucky that he'd retreated so far into the room. If he'd been any closer they would have pounced.
"Door open until instructed otherwise."
"Noted Mr. Asami." The dulcet robotic tone answered.
Zero scrambled off the bed, the diaphanous robe still not hiding his body, his expression a mixture of fear and lust. Both men bristled at the thought that the two Alpha's behind them could see everything clearly.
"What the hell are you doing," the silvered haired omega demanded, his eyes flicking to the three standing behind them.
For a moment neither man could answer, each fighting his own impulse.
"Well this is our room," Kaname finally drawled.
Zero's face blanched as he realized the implications of that statement. "Well I'll sleep in the living room on the-"
Ryuichi cut him off abruptly. "You'll never sleep without us. However our conversation wasn't over before you flounced of. We can finish here or in the living room if you prefer. This is Ichiru, Kain and Aidou. They are here to help all of us cope."
It was obvious which option that the silverette preferred, but he hesitated. "Do we have to finish that inane conversation?" A pink blush crept up his throat and stained his cheeks.
"There will never be a good time for this conversation," Kaname warned. "We'd prefer to have it now and get it out of the way so we can move on. You'v clothes in the closet get dressed and meet us in the living room."
So saying the two stepped out of the room, never turning their backs, keeping Zero in their sights the entire time.
And they expected him to follow like the good submissive they assumed he would be. He frowned at them and resolved to escape when the first opportunity presented itself. But, shit how far would he have to go to escape them? Overseas seemed like the likeliest option at this point. Then he could lose himself in a different humanity. But he was getting the feeling they could follow his scent anywhere.
By the time he'd reached the living room, freshly clothed in jeans, a t-shirt and his throat still wrapped in the golden collar, they'd placed themselves strategically around the living room with the young omega the only one that would even be remotely close to him. All of the Alphas stood near windows far into the room Ryuichi and Kaname standing close to each other. So as not to overwhelmed with his scent he guessed. He stalked into the room like an angry cat, casting hateful looks on everyone. He sat down on the sofa with a small huff, feeling like a sulking child.
"Okay, what was so important that it couldn't wait?"
Kaname took up the opening salvo. "As our mate you need to know what we are and what you are to us."
Zero's pretty lavender eyes narrowed in suspicion. "I already know what you think you are to me. What more could there be?"
When no one in the room answered he snarled. "Just tell me what the fuck you think you are!"
"Vampires."
"What?!" Zero burst out laughing at the blunt statement, a full throated husky sound that had his two Alpha's moving towards him before they checked their movements. "That's almost as good as thinking that I'm your omega," He chortled.
The others in the room were so silent, their eyes deadly serious as they watched his mirth. He looked to the blonde omega and received a discreet nod.
"But….that's….im-"
"Impossible?" Kaname smirked and Zero watched in horror, dazed amazement as his eyeteeth began to lengthen. He shrank back against cushions suddenly dizzy with fear.
"But how would that work? How can you mate with a human-" His stuttered, babbling. "Would that mean you would have to change me?" He asked weakly. "How can we…..?"
"Take a deep breath," Ryuichi demanded. "It's not what you think. You would not be converted completely. You would be more like half and half. You would be Alla."
Somehow that seemed worse, just because he didn't know what it was.
"What in the hell does that mean?" He demanded, his voice definitely hysterical.
"You'll be half vampire half 'll experience out blood lust but be able to walk in the light. Our children will be the same and through you we will also have the ability to walk the day even as you gain an infinity for the night. You will be the source and the cure for our bloodlust."
This from Kaname.
Zero turned his head sharply to curse him. Sincere eyes met his squarely.
…..But that couldn't be. Vampires didn't exist. Because….His entire thought process hazed as he stumbled to his feet. He had to get out of here.
In a flash, Ryuichi was at his side, large, broad hand clasped over his shoulder. He knocked the hand away automatically, trying to whirl way. "Don't touch me! I am not your omega! I'm not-"
But the resulting warmth of the man's touch belied his words. Oh shit! The heat trembled through him from the simple touch and terror filled him. His mind flashed with the terrifying reality. They were going to convert him, make him a vamp-
His eyes rolled to the back of his head and for the first and only time of his life Zero slumped forward in a dead faint.
UF
He jerked awake, the soft, sumptuous mattress giving away beneath his body, the atmosphere in the penthouse ferocious. His body tingled with heat and his heart beat the conga. His first thought was escape as it had been for the last year of his life. He lurched to the side of the bed in a blind panic.
"I would't go out there. Your mates are agitated enough as it is."
He scrambled to a corner of the bed to look at the blonde omega that sat in a chair near the bed. Zero threw him an incredulous look, mouth opening to speak.
"They are your Alphas by the way," the blond stated baldly. "If they weren't they wouldn't share such an infinity with you. Their presence would just feel wrong. I got no such indications from you."
That's not true. Every time they touch me I feel like I want to come out of my skin," he retorted.
Aidou gave him a sympathetic smile. "Sorry to inform you, but that's how we all feel until the bond has been consummated."
"Damnit! I'm no one's Omega! I'll leave before they try and convert me!"
Aidou's face became blank, though his eyes said that Zero was being ridiculous. "Those two? They will hunt you to hell, defeat the devil and drag you back screaming. Sorry." He shrugged I've never seen them so obsessed. Takuma and Kain had to take over their businesses while they were chasing you and those two never miss meetings that effect their companies ever. All running is going to do is piss them off more."
"Do you think I care! I have a life that I need to get back to! It doesn't include them."
"They're your life now. You need to get used to it or you will only hurt them and yourself."
Zero collapsed on the bed in defeat. The Omega would't hear anything he said. He was obviously happy with his own Alphas.
"Zero." Aidou's voice was more gentle this time. "You could ask for no better Alphas than those two, besides mine that is. They are determined to make you happy."
"And happy means to be subjected to their will? And tossed into a silken prison?" Zero muttered.
"This is not permanent. They are keeping you here to protect you. Right now your scent would attract every unmated Alpha in the city. They are protecting what is theirs."
"I'm not theirs!" Zero snapped. "I refuse to be."
Aidou bowed his head in sympathy, standing. "I understand, I really do. I felt the same way when my Alphas came into my life." He paused at the door. "But when you come to terms with this, if you need someone to talk to you can call me anytime. And go easy on them. They need you."

Alla is Greek for other. Or that's what the net says anyway LOL
Until Next Time…
