The challenge two alphas one girl
Chapter 48

Thaddeus' POV:

Even I was shocked when Maze wanted me to tag along on his date day. I was not about to miss out though. I drove them to the hospital and we went to see Malachi who had been moved from HDU (High Dependency Unit) to a regular ward but in a private room. Friday seemed thrilled if not a little confused that Maze and I were getting along. She walked between us linking arms with both of us. She kept looking back and forth with a quizzical look on her face.

Malachi was being fed more chocolate pudding by Felicity to Maze's chagrin. I knew he was thinking about how much sugar was in the pudding but the former alpha had just been shot. Let him live a little. Malachi and Felicity looked up and both of their faces faltered, confused, when they saw Friday between us. Friday immediately relinquished both of our arms and hid behind me while Maze went over to his Dad. She was so adorable! Friday eventually crept out from behind me and waved shyly at the former alpha.

"How're you feeling, Dad?" Asked Maze.

"You tell me," said Malachi, showing us the perfectly healed skin where his bullet wound used to be.

I chuckled. "Come through, Alpha," I said.

Malachi laughed. "I haven't lost it yet! Right, Maze?"

I could tell Maze was resisting rolling his eyes out of happiness for his father.

"No, you haven't," mumbled Maze, h.ugging his father gently.

"Hi, Alpha Malachi," said Friday softly.

"My new step-daughter...or...daughter-in-law," said Malachi happily but with a confused look on his face. The room became a little awkward with everyone thinking about what the former alpha had said. Friday was Felicity's daughter and Malachi was marrying Felicity but Malachi's son Maze hoped to marry Friday. I smirked. I was glad to be left out of that one. What a sh!t show! I shoved Maze playfully and he did no move an inch. Impressive. I grinned at him. He scowled at me.

Do you regret inviting me? I gloated, over mind-link.

Maze smiled slightly. No, of course not! You've come with me everyday and I really appreciate that even though you're still kinda annoying.

You kinda love me though, I said. It was a statement not a question. I gave Maze a smug look and tried to ruffle his hair but he dodged it. I caught him the second time and ruffled it. "Ugh!" Maze exclaimed.

Friday, Felicity and Malachi laughed but Friday tried to hide her laughter when she saw Maze's scowl.

After the hospital visit, we went on the date. I realised I had no idea where I was driving to.

"I'm so happy that Alpha Malachi will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!" Friday said from the backseat.

Maze glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

"Friday, you don't have to call my Dad Alpha ok?" Maze said.

"Ok," Friday said smiling, her big doe eyes lighting up.

"Yeah, Friday," I agreed, also glancing at her through the mirror. "That's your Dad too! Listen to your big brother, Maze!"

Maze groaned, looking out of the window, and Friday giggled.

"Where are we going Maze?" I said.

"We're going back to the movies!" Maze said happily.

"What the fvck?" I said.

Maze snorted with laughter but Friday proclaimed immediately how much she loved the movies.

Maze's POV

Unless Thaddeus was lying, we were all going camping soon and we had just come from Friday's cottage, I wanted to do an inside date. Something basic and classic. Dinner and a movie. Something that I fvckingd up on the first date because Friday and I had the chemistry of a brick back then and not the fire we had now. I wanted to go back there and actually enjoy a air conditioned room filled with her scent. And not be a dick and tell her to be quiet and that we'd talk after the movie. For that reason, I picked the most boring movie possible on purpose. I did not remember what it was about because I could not even finish reading the synopsis.

"I really love the movies! Maze and I went there on our first date," Friday announced.

"What did you see?" Thaddeus asked.

"The Mysterious Manor," said Maze.

"Was that good?" Thaddeus asked.

"No," said Friday simply.

We all laughed.

It was good though! She was mad at me then so maybe it did not leave an impression on her. The we.t dream she had while resting on my shoulder and in my lap left an impression on me though as well as a we.t spot on my pants, some of it from Friday, some of it from me.

Friday, under Thaddeus' protection, ordered an extra jumbo popcorn with extra movie theatre b.utter and an extra jumbo coke. Both of those items were bigger than she was so I did not see the point. Thaddeus and I actually ended up getting a ton of stuff to Friday's glee. I gave up for the time being. I supposed today was a cheat day. I had rented out the entire screen again but of course, there were other screens showing other things so there were people in the food lines. I was balancing a h.uge tray filled with chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, seasoned potato wedges, straight fries, crinkle fries, curly fries and cream cheese jalapeño poppers. Friday had wanted the savoury separated from the sweet so Thaddeus had an equally large tray with brownie bites, chocolate-covered pretzels, soft almond pretzels with frosting for dipping, mini powdered donuts, deep fried Oreos, a cookies n' cream chocolate, a regular chocolate and a dark chocolate. Friday was insane. I had only just realised this but I was already in love so whatever.

Little Friday was ignoring me and Thaddeus peaking at someone else. A random pang of jealousy course through me. I looked to see who it was and was relieved to see it was Fang. Fang? Fang was here with a smug looking Astrid talking to the twins. The twins?! Ugh. I realised Fallon and Fargo would be my step-brothers too. sh!t! They were so annoying. I preferred my a.sshole Beta, Fang, over them honestly, especially now that he was no longer at odds with my Baby, Friday.

"You want to say hi to your brothers, Baby?" I murmured in her ear, making sure my l!ps brushed against her skin and made her shiver and smile slyly. I was waiting with bated breath hoping she would say no.

"Now, Maze," said Thaddeus in a stern voice, "those are your brothers too!"

I scowled. "They're my step-brothers!" I said. Ugh, Friday and I were not biologically related. Hadn't Thaddeus ever seen Clueless? That human movie where the girl is in love with her step-brother plus other stuff. I had not seen it either but Friday mentioned it once so I googled it and half-read the synopsis so I could pretend to be sensitive and claim I had watched many beloved girly movies, even human ones. "Yeah," said Friday somewhat begrudgingly. "We should say hi."

She made it sound like a chore she was doing to be dutiful

I thought you and your brothers were getting along?! I asked including Thaddeus in the mind-link.

Yes, but...what will they think about me...and...both of you...instead of just one...not that I don't want that...of course I do...but they'll say I'm a.....

I stopped her with a growl. She was blushing furiously and biting her I!p. She looked up at me with wide fearful eyes. I leant towards her, brushing my nose against hers.

"A what?" I asked, my voice deadly. It was not directed at her though, but I would kill anyone who disrespected my Luna like that.

"Um," Friday said. She shook her head, nuzzling me accidentally because my nose was still against hers. She giggled at that and I smiled slightly.

"They're not gonna say anything unless they have a death wish," muttered Thaddeus, walking over to them.

They spotted us. Fallon and Fargo waved. Fang looked flabbergasted. His jaw dropped and he stared at the three of us.

"This is not the hospital!" Fang said in an accusatory tone.

Thaddeus snorted. "It's not!" Said the h.uge alpha, looking around as though amazed.

"Maze, this is what the GPS said. Could you check it again?" Thaddeus continued.

Friday stifled her giggles out of respect for Fang. Fang seethed quietly. He would not cross Thaddeus.

“S'up, Bro!" Said Fallon and Fargo in unison to me.

"Bro as in bro or bro as in brother with the same mother, step or biological, doesn't matter, still related kinda," Thaddeus said.

The twins were so confused they were silenced, their mouths agape.

"Hi, Fallon and Fargo," I said, smiling a little.

"Maze, Thaddeus," drawled Astrid, accentuating the fact that she had suddenly stopped calling us Alphas being given explicit permission. "You should know, as potential Uncles, I'm pregnant!"

Thaddeus actually broke out of his sarcasm towards Friday's family and into a smile.

I was shocked but I recovered quickly. I supposed she could drop the Alpha now as I stared at her flat tummy. She was probably early in her pregnancy. I wouldn't put it past Astrid to fake a pregnancy for attention and prestige during this time of public frenzy over Friday the wolf-less she-wolf mated to two competing alphas. Although, that tag line had changed immensely. Were we still competing? We had to have a serious conversation about this. Perhaps, at the camping trip. Was Friday wolf-less? She had a four-day heat. Most she-wolves had three-day heats. Four-day heats were reserved for the very powerful. She could also mind-link now. Could she shift? I did not want to encourage it anymore? Over my dead body would she go near a battlefield or breach of our Marigold fortress.

If Astrid was pregnant, the baby was certainly important to me. I would love to be an Uncle. As I was an only child, I never thought I'd be one, especially since I hardly thought about my future mate. "Congratulations, Mommy!" Beamed Thaddeus.

Astrid lit up like a Christmas Tree.

Friday's POV

"Congratulations, Mommy!"

That was just what Theo had said when he had found out. I wanted to k!ss Thaddeus. I wanted to sit on Maze's lap again at the movies. I hoped we would not be in the same screen room as my brothers. Thankfully, we weren't. Maze had rented out an entire screen room again. I sat between my Alphas. They devoured the food in record time with some assistance from me. The trays were put aside. I was stuffed. I yawned. Maze pulled me into his lap. I sighed happily. Thaddeus sat in my old chair to be next to me in Maze's lap. I stretching my legs out over Thaddeus' lap and he began caressing them while I made out with Maze. Thaddeus' hand sn.aked its way up between my thighs and rubbed against the fabric of my underwear. I gasped and moaned into Maze's mouth as his tongue slipped into my mouth. I moaned even more loudly and Thaddeus started sliding my underwear off from under my skirt. I squeaked in panic, breaking the kiss from Maze.

The Alphas looked at me, both of their faces bearing worried expressions.

"What if someone walks in?" I asked softly. My alphas smirked.

"They won't! I rented out the whole screen and gave strict orders that we were not to be disturbed," said Maze authoritatively.

I bit my lip but relaxed a little. Thaddeus pulled my underwear over my knees, then ankles and finally pocketed it. I started to get we.t with excitement. Remember the last time we were here, how you fell asleep? Said Maze in my mind, looking hungrily at me.

I nodded.

You can sleep during this movie too, Baby, but only if Thaddeus and I put you to sleep. We know just how to make you really tired, Baby! Said Maze.

We're gonna wear you out, Baby! Said Thaddeus, his eyes turning from blue black.

I shivered but I was not cold at all with two alphas and their body heat enveloping me.

I lay down with my head cradled in Maze's lap. Maze reached both hands down my shirt and under my b.ra to cup my breasts thumbing my e.rect nipples. I moaned. Thaddeus inhaled my scent as he neared my entrance. I felt him lick my folds, parting them with his hot tongue. I squealed and wiggled a bit but the alpha held my h!ps compelling me to be still as he ate my p.ussy. I could feel Maze harden under my head as I was on his lap. I licked my lips and he crashed his against them just as Thaddeus found my cl!t. I groaned using one hand tangled in Thaddeus' hair pulling his tongue deeper into my entrance while the other hand was tangled in Maze's hair keeping his I!ps pressed against mine as our tongues caressed each other. My legs were shaky as Thaddeus tortured me with his tongue and I was getting breathless as Maze teased me with his tongue while his hands continued to pinch and thumb my painfully hard n!pples. I felt the heat in my lower tummy. I needed a release. I screamed but it was muffled by Maze's mouth. I was rocking against Thaddeus' handsome face, riding him as I climbed higher and higher. This was pure bliss. Maze's hands sn.aked lower down my shirt and reached my wa!st and then thighs as he broke our kiss and leant over me. He put his palms against my inner thighs pulling, holding me open wider for Thaddeus, exposing more of my folds to his persistent tongue. My mouth was free for now. "I c-c-can't take it anymore," whispered in a shaky voice. They pushed me further upwards. I knew I would come crashing down after an incredible high. Thaddeus nipped gently down on my swollen cl!t just as Maze raised my top up and moved by b.ra aside so he could take one of my e.rect n!pples in his mouth while caressing the other one. I lost it. My whole body shook as I came. Sleep must have come almost instantly after that because I awoke near the end of the movie stretched across both of their laps, clothed and bundled up in one of their h.uge jackets, still sleepy and warm. Thaddeus had his jacket thrown over my bare legs. I had worn a skirt to the movies and usually my legs would be cold but Thaddeus was even massaging them gently under the jacket. I was too comfortable to get up. I closed my eyes again. Maze carried me out of the movies. I could hear snatches of my Alphas talking about Berryndale while I was half-asleep in the backseat of the car.

We got back to the pack house and there was so much activity! Everyone was ensuring everything was in order for us to move to Berryndale for the remainder of the challenge. Maze took me up to my room, still cradling me. I rubbed my eyes. My room was almost empty except for a nightgown and underwear in one drawer and a few choices for what I should wear tomorrow on the travel day. The staff of the pack house had organised everything in our absence! I remembered when I had to sneak about to take some food which was supposed to be free for all Marigold residents. Certain staff members would shoo me sometimes for being wolf-less, refusing me even the free meals all were entitled to by pack laws even the wolf-less (I checked!) Maze was running a bubble bath for me while I sat on the bathroom counter bundled up in a huge plush robe. Both Alphas seemed to think me being momentarily cold was a great travesty. They had discussed my cool temperature while they thought I was asleep on the ride home. They were confused by it as I was showing signs of having a wolf.

Maze saw the look on my face and got worried. "What, Baby? Talk to Daddy!"

He came over and h.ugged me tightly. I shared my thoughts with him. Maze the real person was so different to who I had thought he was on the night of my rejection and on the first few days of the challenge. "I was thinking about how I would get refused food sometimes at the pack house by staff members for being wolf-less..."

"Which ones?" Maze said, fixing me with a stern look, his temper rising immediately.

"It doesn't matter!" I said. "The point is pack laws state the wolf-less is to be fed and sheltered by the pack also. The strong protect the weak."

"You know pack laws," Maze said, sounding impressed.

I shrugged. I would stay up at night even before I failed to shift and study pack laws, hoping I could talk about them with my former Beta Dad or Beta Brother. They were obvious ones not being upheld due to pompous att!tudes. I also hoped to impress them. I would try to go to my Dad's study where he was with Fang but they would shut the door in my face. I buried my head in Maze's c.hest, needing his comfort. He took me to the bubble bath, disrobed us and got in with me still holding me tightly, massaging my back.

"Do you want me to be warm?" I asked Maze.

"Yes, always," Maze murmured, seeming happy but sleepy. "Is it too cold?"

"No," I said giggling. "I meant do you want my skin warm like a werewolf."

"I want you, Friday, however you are at that time. I love your cool skin. But if you become warm, I'd love your warm skin. I love your skin, your smell, your looks, your voice, your personality, you, even your cat Saturday who is also packed for Berryndale," said Maze.

I chuckled. I snuggled more closely to him. My wolf wanted me to ask for Thaddeus to come join the bubble bath. She was so excited thinking about it but today was Maze's day and I wanted to be very gentle about this newfound camaraderie between my Alphas. I explained to her why we could not blow this!

"Thaddeus is in a Berryndale meeting via video chat going over everything prepared at his pack house thus far," Maze said softly, half-asleep, as though he had heard my thoughts. Sleepy Maze was so cute. I left him alone and bathed myself. He woke up just as I had finished assuming no time had passed and started lathering me again and washing me off. I did not protest, enjoying his gentle caresses. He tucked me into bed and stroked and dried my hair. I remembered when I had brushed his hair when he had been so upset about his father rejecting my mother. Now they were fiancees and that seemed years and not days ago. I heard heavy footsteps and smelled the rainforest. Thaddeus. He stroked my cheek and kissed it. Maze k!ssed my cheek. My wolf became extremely annoyed that the challenge did not allow me to sleep sandwiched between their warmth.

"Are you sure it's ok to camp together? I don't want Friday in a tent by herself in the woods," Maze said in his smooth silky voice.

"I checked the rules. All rest days allow for the presumed Luna to sleep wherever she wants as long as she is not mated or marked," Thaddeus said in his deep, rumbly voice.

"So, one of us could have slept in Friday's room on the first night? The ceremony night?" Maze asked.

"Yeah," said Thaddeus.

"Did you?" Asked Maze suspiciously.

"No, I didn't fvcking*g know that back then," Thaddeus said.

Maze laughed.
