Mate ...s ?!?!

[Jaxson’s POV]

There was nothing to prepare me for the words that had come from my Omega Mate’s mouth. What do you say to finding out your Mate has a Rouge for a father? That was a lot to take in and it wasn’t just me struggling with this information. I knew Jace was trying to keep himself between us but it was looking like he was doing something else to me. He was furious for some reason.

Jace was practically glaring at Orion for some reason. It was like they had, had some type of dispute between them and now Orion was almost ignoring Jace all together. I hated seeing this. What had happened for them to start acting like this? Were they talking to each other Telepathically without me? Was I missing something going on with Orion? Or Jace?

“That’s it!” I shouted after a few more minutes of the awkward silence between them. “The two of you are hiding something from me and you need to come out with it right now!!” I snapped pulling them both to face me. They still refused to look at each other though.

Jace was the one to cave in as he sighed, when Orion growled. “Orion seems to think he is a defect considering who is who.” he said when I huffed in aggravation.

“Why in the world would you think you are a defect?” I demanded as I glared at my little Omega. I wanted to know what the hell was going on in that little head of his.

He just sighed and turned away from us again. “You don’t understand, he’s not like other Wolves.” he said, clearly angry with the Rouge. There was a deep hatred between them. Something Jace and I couldn’t quite figure out. Yet. I looked at him and again thought to myself that if he would just explain to us everything that had actually happened to him then we could help him or get someone who could. It was that simple and he was fighting it. If he would just let us all the way in and stop hiding things like this from us. We would be able to understand what he was going through a little better.

“Orion, little one. I do not know how many times you want us to say this to you but I am sure Jace will agree with me when I say. If you are angry or scared about anything you need to tell us what’s going on. Explain things to us and we will always do whatever we can to help you get through it or face it together.” I said as I reached my hand out for him. Wanting him to come to me.

Letting him make the choice to come to me. Which he did, after a few more moments. When he placed his much smaller hand into mine, I gripped his hand in mine and tugged gently. Again, letting him make the choice to come to me.

He sighed heavily, “He terrifies and pisses me off all at the same time. I am an Omega that never should have been born. An impossibility.” Orion said as he held himself away from me and Jace a little still. I could see that he wanted to curl up with us but he was still scared of himself.

“Why do you think that? Orion, to us you are everything we could have ever asked for and far more.” Jace said as he moved up closer to me. He wanted to be closer to us, wanting to show Orion that he wanted him just as much as I did.

“Leo is an Alpha. Cilla is/was a Beta. I however, am an Omega. Do you not see the issue with the math on that?” Orion spit as he pulled away from us and turned back to the large window in our room. His small body shaking, from what we couldn’t tell because he wasn’t facing us anymore.

I was getting tired of this. Orion was the only one who could not see his value and it was beginning to actually anger me. He was so much more than what Cilla had made him believe he was. He needed to see that he was so much stronger just the way he was, than him trying to become something he was never meant to be. “Orion, you are not a mistake. The Goddess make us all the way we are meant to be. If she deemed you an Omega then there was a reason and it is something you must find on your own.” I said as I stood up and went to him, pulling Orion into my grasp, not letting him go. “We all have our place in this world and only the Goddess knows our potential to its fullest. She created us to find our other halves and the three of us have found each other at last. You are stuck with us little bit and you are going to have to deal with it. Think about it like this, can you see Jace as an Omega?” I questioned silencing his movements as he looked up at me and then to Jace.

He shook his head at me, a confused look on his face as he actually thought about what I had just asked him. It was a simple question but the meaning of the answer was far too important. He needed to see what my words meant and as he thought about them, he realized what I meant.

Jace could only been seen as what he is now. A powerful Alpha Wolf. It took both of us years to get where we are now but we made it to a good place. With our abilities as Twins, we had a large advantage over any enemy that came against us. One we tried not to take advantage of despite the temptation to do so at times.

Orion needed to see that we are all built for what we were meant to do in this world. He was educated but there were some things the Schools didn’t teach. The things that parents were supposed to teach their young for survival and our little Omega had not been taught any of the essential information about his own heritage and abilities. Cilla and Justin didn’t care enough to give him that education and it fell to us to teach him that and we had no problem teaching him.

There was a reason he was born an Omega and it was to calm a raging storm. One that if left unchecked could have gone wild with desperation. He was the calm to the Alpha rage that burned deep within both Jace and I. He needed to understand that without him the two of us would have turned into unchecked monsters.

“Orion, sweet love of ours. You need to understand that without you, Jax and I would have become monsters of the worst kind.” Jace said saying my own thoughts out loud for him to hear. They were beyond true but Jace hadn’t needed to be so damn blunt about everything. Jace chuckled at my thought as we both turned back to Orion. Apparently, it was what Orion needed to hear though.

“He’s right you know. When the Goddess created her Wolves, she made them from one soul. The three of us are the same piece and we just fit together naturally. We need each other far more than you could realize.” I said agreeing with my twin.

I had more than one way to show Orion what I meant but I felt like if I spoke to him then he would be more receptive about it all. Jace and I had found that if we spoke to Orion, he would respond better than when he was given written instructions. I had noticed it when he was trying to learn a recipe from Cassie one night. She had explained everything to him when he was struggling to understand what was written in front of him.

“You mean it?” Orion questioned us, looking at each of us, his eyes filled with unshed tears. I could tell he was holding them in by the way his bottom lip quivered. But he understood what we were trying to say. He understood that the two of us were nothing without him and we needed him.

It broke me a little to see him so torn on what he was conditioned to think and what reality was. To us he couldn’t have been more perfect for us and all he could see was his flaws. It was enough to make me break down, almost.

I could see Jace crying already and knew that I would need to be stronger than that, at least a little. I knew my eyes held my tears of sadness and anger. I wanted him to just realize that the way his life had been was not how it was supposed to have been for him. His biological mother was nothing but a Rouge now, and we had been acting like it wasn’t even a thing because of her closeness to my own parents. We had ignored how everything was being treated because no one wanted to say anything in front of my own parents. However, Orion had needed to know, he had deserved to know what had been going on. They were the ones who had made his life a living nightmare and now no one even knew if they were still under guard or not.

“Of course, we mean every word, love. You have brought peace to our Wolves and we couldn’t be happier to have you in our lives.” Jace said getting a nod from me in agreement.

“When you came into our lives we were at peace by your very presence. You just have that effect of the two of us.” I added with a smile. I was hoping that he was going to see that he was the best thing in our lives.

“But why? How? I have only ever caused pain for those around me. Cassie has only ever been sad because of me. My family has only ever felt shame because I am an Omega and not the Beta Cilla had been expecting me to be.” Orion asked softly, his head dropping a little so he could stare at the floor.

“You bring us peace and a sense of completeness because you are an Omega. You being an Omega brings everyone a sense of belonging that no one else can bring to another.” Jace blurted out getting Orion’s head to snap up and to stare at us, his mouth open a little in shock.

We chuckled and I gently pulled him back to the bed where we sat back in the middle of the bed. I leaned against the headboard while Jace sat behind Orion who was in the middle of us.

“I know this is taught in school, but don’t you remember what an Omega is actually capable of? The teachers should have covered it in at least one subject in school.” I asked looking at him as he settled against Jace’s chest.

“I was never taught about the other Omegas. I was taken from those classes and never allowed to learn anything other than what would help Kinder. He was quite stupid.” Orion said shaking his head, curiosity in his eyes at the thought of learning something new about himself and the others like him.

I could hear the soft growl escape from Jace’s mouth and smiled at him. He knew that Orion was much smarter than most, but the fact that he had only been able to go to school to learn for Kinder’s benefit, didn’t sit well with either of us. There was apparently no end to the insanity he had been put through.

“Well, it’s like this my cute little Mate. The Weres are divided into their own species as such but then there is another type of division. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and finally Omega. Most Were tend to be easy going, however, there are still those who find any Were lesser than a Beta is nothing. We have been in the company of both and have found that we agree with the ones that accept everyone for who they are regardless of their ‘classification’. Everyone has a part in this world and to each of their Pack, Pride or what have you. No one life is any less important than the whole.” I explained as Orion shifted to sit between my legs.

“Omegas have become very rare and thus have become priceless to many Packs and bloodlines. They may be the weakest by physical strength but the power they have is far greater than anything we, as Alphas could ever accomplish. Each class has its place and each Were is needed and should all be treated equally for such reasons. There are families that would not have survived The Great War without their Omegas. It would have been the end for many of Were kind had we all fallen for the darkness. There were many that had been saved due to the abilities of the Omegas that came before us.” Jace added, as Orion settled against me, his eyes intently looking at us both in turn. He was fully intent on our words and very interested in what we had to say. He was letting them soak into his brain.

We let the words sink in for another moment and we were rewarded by his calm questions this time. “So, you mean I h-have a place? I am supposed to be a part of something?” he asked softly, his brow furrowing in deep thought.

“Yes, and you are a part of something. You are a large part of the two of us. As we have said love, without you we would have become something much worse than what we are now. You are the final piece to our very soul that the two of us have been missing for a long time.” I said putting my hands on his waist, needing to feel his warmth against my skin. I needed more than just his small body resting against mine. I needed him fully pressed against me. Sensing my needs, Orion backed up against me, pushing his ass against my semi-hard dick. Earning a low growl from me. “Careful little star. You are playing with fire again.” I bit out through gritted teeth as thoughts of him naked and under me came into my head.

Jace moaned from in front of Orion, getting my attention. Damn it. He looked flushed with lust and something about the way he was trying to sit still and failing was more than telling me what was going on. Orion was playing with him and when I looked closer, I was right when I saw my little Omegas hand rubbing the front of Jace’s pants. Orion was apparently trying to get himself fucked at the moment. He was playing with both his Alpha Mates and he was playing a dangerous game.

I smiled brightly at them both before flipping Orion under me, kissing his neck, my lips lingering on my Mark. I needed to make sure we didn’t take our Omega together still. Jace had been wanting to push that but I could still feel Orion’s weakness. I was not going to let Orion get hurt from us again like that. I wanted him to be used to us before we took him together again. Orion was still healing regardless and it was something I was not going to budge on with either of them no matter how much they begged me. I was not going to let them get hurt in our passion. I felt Jace come up behind me, and I knew there was no way any of us were getting out of this room any time soon.

I was perfectly happy with that thought.
