I eyed the door to the dungeon in the castle, chattering around me. I could practically feel the sorrow from Damon down in his cell, and I knew Ethan felt the same way. Ethan hadn't told me he was his mate directly, but I watched him creep into the cells countless times.

I swallowed whatever fear I had that was creeping up my throat, and began the descent down the creepy ass stairs. I slipped through the doors closing off the dungeon when the guards were switching patrols, inching closer to his cell when I heard him speaking.

"Ethan, you need to go. They'll come back soon." His voice broke while he spoke, the pure sorrow radiating from his body.

"I can't leave you, I'm scared one day I'll leave you and you won't be here when I come back." I shut my eyes, I had to get him out.

"If one day that happens, you have to move on. I want you to be happy."

"But you're what makes me happy." I stepped around the corner and found Ethan clutching Damons hand through the metal bars. They both looked up to me in both confusion and shock, Ethan inching closer to Damon.

"I'm getting you out." Ethan stood up and clutched onto me, tears falling and soaking through my hair. I shut my eyes at his shaky breaths, knowing it was going to be hell trying to get Damon out.

I stepped back from Ethan and looked at Damons wide eyes, his mouth slightly ajar. "Why? I've been nothing but awful to you."

"Ethan is like my brother, and you actually are my brother. I trust you, as stupid as that may be." He shook his head at me, shutting his eyes as a lone tear cascaded down his cheek.

"I won't fuck this u-"

"Good, because if you do I'm castrating both of you." Ethan fake gasped at me while Damon simply chuckled, his eyes never leaving Ethan.

I know he really loved him by the way his dark eyes shined, that and the fact he looked at him the way I looked at Tyler. Which reminds me, I have some serious making out to do with him to make up for lost time.

I waved goodbye as I made my way up the stairs quietly, my heart racing as I finally shut the door behind me. I sighed as I began walking up the stairs to Tyler's office, waving at the occasional pack member. I had only been back for close to two weeks, a week since Jessie's funeral, and this was the most time I had spent alone.

I knocked on Tyler's office door before pushing it open, smiling at Tyler's surprised face. "Is everything okay?"

I nodded as I made my way over to him, the sound of my feet padding against the thick carpet filling the room. "Everything's fine, just wanted to see if you were busy."

He shut a file in front of him, pushing himself off of the chair he sat in. He walked the few feet to me, pushing a piece of hair behind my ear. "I'm free, did you need something?"

I shook my head and gave him a mischief smile before tugging on his hand, pulling him behind me down the hallway to our bedroom. "What's going o-"

"Sh." I put my index finger against his lips, causing him to cross his eyes and eye it. I grinned as I opened our door, pushing him in and onto the bed.

His eyes almost immediately turned black, his breathing a tad bit ragged. I pulled myself over him, grinning at how I could turn him on so fast. I pressed my lips to the base of his throat, giving him open mouth kisses while I felt him grow hard and press against my thigh. He began moving his hands to cup my ass, but I pulled them off of me and pressed them to his sides.

"I'm in control for once, sit still and look pretty for me." He nodded wide eyed, my fingers grazing the hem of his shirt. I tugged it off quickly, kissing down his heat till I was right above his jeans.

He bit his lip while I slowly unbuckled his belt, and groaned when I rubbed over his groin. "Now Tyler, what are we doing about Damon exactly?"

He gave me a breathy shudder in response, my fingers tugging his bow unbuckled jeans to his knees. I chucked his shoes off and slid his pants off not far behind it. "Lena,"

"Tyler," I kissed right along the hem of his boxers, making sure he was looking at me right before I kissed right over his groin. "What're we doing about Damon?"

"Lena, right now isn't exactly a good time to talk about this." I stood up and slid my shirt off, reaching behind me and unclasping my bra. I slid my shorts off and kneeled down in between his legs.

"Tyler," I hooked my finger through his boxers, tugging them lightly so his member was restricted a bit more. "We're going to let him go."

"Lena, that isn't a good idea." He but his lip as I reached into his boxers, my nimble fingers stroking his member lightly. I barely grazed his skin, but the way his breathing was told me just how much I effected him.

"If you want more, we let him go." He moaned softly when I put more pressure along him, my offer hand pulling his boxers down completely.

"Lena, he almost killed you-" I pressed a soft kiss to the tip of him, silencing whatever he was about to say to me.

"We're letting him go." He groaned as I flicked my tongue against his skin, his hands tangling themselves into my hair.

"Fine, he gets let go." I squealed, (which I seriously regretted as soon as the god awful noise left my lips,) and stood up. I bolted to the door when I felt arms wrapped around me, Tyler's hot breath against my ear.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" He whispered, sending tingles down to my very core. I spun around and placed another soft kiss to his lips, nipping slightly at the curve of his neck.

"I'm marking you now." I sucked on his skin before gently sliding my canines in, his groans forcing my heart to beat fast. I swirled my tongue around his fresh mark, marveling in the way his breathing changed and how dark his eyes became.

"I know I don't have to ask this, but you are going to marry me right? I don't have a ring yet but I didn't know if I should plan a dinner or-"

"Tyler, I'm going to marry you. Shut up and for the love of anything holy have sex with me already." He grinned before kissing me again, reaching behind me and locking our door.

***

Whoever says sex is pleasant the first time is an asshole and a dirty lier.

Seriously.

It hurt and frankly was kinda awkward, but I quickly got over it when I felt him within my soul. I heard his thoughts running rampant through my head, images of me and a future life for both of us.

He wanted a football team of kids. Honestly, I wanted one kid, if that.

I lay beside him in the bed, content while listening to heartbeat and watching the way his chest rose and fell. I felt content, happy, and most of all loved. I smiled as I leaned over and placed a light kiss right on the edge of his lips, grinning at his mumbling and moans in his sleep.

I slipped away and pulled on one of his shirts and a pair of leggings, tugging on my shoes as I made my way out the door. The house was quiet since it was so early in the morning, sunlight barely streaming through the open windows covering the walls.

God I knew he would be pissed as soon as he woke up, when wolves finish the mating process the male gets so insanely protective for a few weeks after. They usually barely leave their mates side, wanting to mate over and over again, and also because they think that this means the shewolf would be pregnant by now.

If I'm pregnant right now I'm going to be pissed.

No offense to regular shewolves that want to get pregnant right away, but I have a lot of shit I have to do! I'm still this kinda Protector, and I will be till the day I die. Or go into retirement.

Whichever comes first.

I hastily walked down to the dungeon, stopping a guard with his keys. "I need Damon let out, the Alpha is aware and we both agreed on his release."

I could tell he hesitated, his eyes glazing over. When Tyler didn't respond, because I'm assuming he's still asleep, he sighed before nodding and slowly walking down the hallway to his cell. I could hear every growl from the rogues in the cells I passed, clenching my jaw so I would retaliate to their vile comments.

I breathed a sigh of relief when we came back to Damons cell, his sleeping form slumped against the back wall. "Damon!" I exclaimed, loud enough to cause him to stir before looking up to me with half hooded eyes.

"Lena?" I took a whiff, immediately wrinkling my nose as the guard unlocked the door.

"Come on, I'll show you to your room, well, Ethan's room, and get you a shower. Seriously, you stink." His mouth hung open in shock, his eyebrows furrowing and his forehead creasing.

His facial expression made me realize just how much I looked like him. Although his hair was darker and he was much taller than I, we had the same eyes and facial structure. We both carried ourself the same way, and don't even get me started on our temper.

"I'm being let out?" I nodded, giving him a grin as I stepped a foot into the cell to help him up form the wall. He looked at me, confusion laced through his expression. "Does Tyler know?"

I couldn't help but laugh as I nodded my head, tugging him down the hallway and up the stairs. "Of course he does, although it took a little persuasion, if you know what I mean."

He laughed as I wiggled my eyebrows at him, the still early sun illuminating the stairs as I brought him up to Ethan's room. "I don't need to hear about my sisters sex life!"

"Shut up, I'm sure I'll be hearing all about you and Ethan's soon enough." I grinned when we reached Ethan's door, knocking lightly before it ripped open.

Ethan stood before me with wide eyes which immediately watered as soon as he saw Damon. He wretched himself from my grip and short himself to Ethan, both of them stumbling back into the room. I grinned at their love, a love I finally got to say I had.

"I'll leave you guys to it, if anyone tries anything come find me or mindlink me, I'll deal with them." They simply hunted in response before they began to kiss each other erratically, issuing their foot to shut the door in front of me.

I laughed as I turned and made my way up to my room, just as a growl ripped through the entire castle. "Where is she!?"

See what I mean? Crazy possessive Alpha times ten.

I opened the bedroom door to find Tyler shirtless, his chest heaving as Alex stood in front of him trying to calm his wolf.

"Tyler." I spoke softly, his head whipping around to me. He shot across the room and pulled me into his chest, nuzzling deep into the curve of my neck.

"Where were you? Why the fuck do you smell like Rogues?" He growled out, rubbing himself against me.

I knew what he was doing, trying to make me smell as much like him as possible. "I let Damon out and brought him to Ethan's room, now come on. We need breakfast and have to start planning the god awful coronation now."

He smiled before bending slightly and kissed my lips gently, pressing himself closer to me as he deepened the kiss. "I can think of something better to do."

Stupid horny Alpha.

"Fine, but then coronation planning because otherwise your mother will have me in a stick."
