Desert Heat (Complete)
Desert Heat Chapter 70

{Allie’s P.O.V.}

After we all went for late night or an early morning run, however you want to see it, Dorian and I came back to our room, showered, and passed out. I had told the group that it was a free day anyways. I honestly expected to spend the entire night having hours upon hours of s*x with Dorian, but that obviously did not happen.

What Mr. and Mrs. Murphy did to their girls, pissed me off so much. What parent does that? Especially in the world, our species lives in. Who the hell even forgets that they signed a contract with their b***d? I decided to put it in the back of my mind for now. I wanted to enjoy the rest of my three days on vacation before the real work began. As soon as we got back, Lucas and Sam’s teams would be in their positions to catch the rogue.

I woke up the next morning and found myself half draped over Dorian. His right arm around holding me, his left arm on top of my forearm that was over his chest, my head on his shoulder, and my right leg over his left. We were both completely naked. I looked at the clock and realized that it was not morning at all. It was a quarter to three in the afternoon. I moved around a little, trying not to disturb Dorian. I removed my leg from around his, and was moving my arm off his chest when he grabbed me,

“Where are you going?” he asks me in a groggy voice and his eyes still closed.

“I need to pee,” I tell him. He loosens his grip and nods his head. I peck him on the lips and get up to go to the bathroom. I do my business, brush my teeth, and wash my face. I put on a robe and went back to the room. I grab Dorian’s phone and call Andre,

“Dori…Oh, Allie!”

“Bonne après-midi, Andre,” (Good afternoon, Andre)

“Où est Dorian?” (Where is Dorian?)

“He is still sleeping. As you can imagine, we had a pretty rough night after our meeting with everyone,” I tell him.

“Oui, things are quite strenuous. Comment ça va?” (How are you?)

“Merdique. Où est C.J.?” (Shitty. Where is C.J.?)

“Un instant, s’il vous plait,” (One moment, please,) he puts his phone down and I see the ceiling of the conference room. I wait a minute or so and then am met with C.J.’s face.

“Allie, good afternoon,” I smile.

“C.J., did the girls’ parents arrive?”

“Yes, they came earlier in the morning and spoke with the girls,”

“And?”

“It was not pretty, at all. I have known the triplets since they were born, and I have never seen them act the way they did when their parents told them what was going on,”

“I can only imagine their reactions. Where are their parents now?” I ask him.

“They went back to Mojave Mountain. After a really intense argument, all three girls refused to see or speak to their parents. Andre relieved all three of them of their duties for the next couple of days so they can process everything and wait for your return. Katie has locked herself in her room with the twins,”

“Have you contacted Yellow Moon’s Alpha as Dorian requested?”

“Yes, I did this morning. They’re willing to meet on the suggested date,”

“And you said nothing about me helping them replace a mate, right?”

“I said nothing of the sorts, Allie. I know that even if you do have the ability to sense one’s mate, I know that that is a long shot and a potential plan B. My hope is that once they meet Dorian and realize what pack the triplets now belong to, they will nullify the contract willingly, that is my hopeful plan A,”

“I know that this can’t be easy for you being a new Alpha,”

“Not the first thing I wanted to deal with after gaining my title, but my Father is still here and helping me out. Beta Jonathan is wise and is also a great support system,”

“Will you be keeping Jonathan as your Beta?”

“For the time being, the old man still has a lot of fight in him. But I will have to start my search for a new Beta, soon,”

“I wish you the best of luck with that. I’m sure you whoever you choose will make a fine Beta. You can always contact our Beta, Brandon for advice. He can be dimwitted sometimes, and but he is an amazing Beta,” C.J. throws his head back laughing and I can hear Andre laughing in the background as well.

“I don’t think he would appreciate you volunteering him like that,”

“Brandon won’t mind at all. As I said, he is an amazing Beta and would gladly offer his advice if you ever ask. Brandon has a close relationship with Leah’s family, so in a way, a small part of him belongs to your pack too,” I say with a sincere smile.

“Well, when you put it that way, maybe Brandon can help me replace a new Beta?”

“It couldn’t hurt to ask. Give Leah a call and talk to them,” he nods. “May I speak with Andre, please?” C.J. passes over the phone back to Andre.

“Allie,”

“Andre, thank you for taking the initiative to relieve the triplets for a few days,”

“No problem, I believed that it is what Dorian what have done,”

“You’re right, it is what I would have done,” Dorian says while stepping into view for Andre to see him. I turn around and see he put on some shorts.

“Ah, Dorian…Sleep well?”

“I did. I was going to call when I first woke up, but it appears that my wife has beaten me to it,” Dorian says, and I smile.

“Andre, do Simba, Nick, and Paxton know what’s going on?” I ask him.

“Non, the triplets agreed to not tell their mates until you arrive home. They are afraid of how they might react, though, they are suspicious of why the girls have been relieved of their duties. And with Mademoiselle Katie locking herself in her room all day, Simba is getting worried,”

“Tell them I said to give the girls space and that we will speak with them directly when we return,” Dorian said.

“Of course. Do not worry about the packhouse. Dani and I are keeping things flowing. Enjoy the rest of your vacation mon ami. We will see you when you get back,” Andre says and waves. We wave back and hang up. I put Dorian’s phone down on the table.

“If I didn’t know better, it would appear that you’re trying to do my job for me,” Dorian says to me.

“I’m sorry. Did I overstep by calling them?” I was afraid I made a mistake.

“No, baby, not at all,” he replies kissing my forehead. “I like it when you take charge. Just like you did during the call last night. Seeing you in full Luna mode is a huge turn on,”

“I’m happy that my angry side makes your d**k hard,” I tell him. He chuckles and goes to the bathroom. I pick up Dorian’s phone again and send a quick text to Brandon letting him know to expect a call from C.J. I put the phone back on the nightstand and sit at the vanity and brush my hair. As I am brushing my hair I try to decide if I want to stay in or go out.

“Baby, you okay?” Dorian asks coming out of the bathroom. I feel my eyes getting heavy and realize that I’m still tired.

“Can we just stay in all day? I don’t feel like doing anything,” I tell him. I stand up and take off my robe and head towards the bed.

“What’s wrong?” he asks

“Nothing baby, I’m just exhausted. We’ve already done so much these last six days, I really just want to be lazy today,” he smiles and takes off his shorts and comes back to bed with me.

“You need to eat something soon,” he tells me as lays down and I snuggle close to him.

“I’m not hungry,”

“You may not be, but our baby is,” he said rubbing my belly. I smile at his touch.

“Can we just sleep a few more hours and then we can go get a big dinner?” I ask already half asleep.

“Sure,” he k****s my forehead. He lets out a deep breath and relaxes, and I let my exhaustion take over.

{Dorian’s P.O.V.}

I wake up to the sound of phone alarm going off and it stirs Allie awake too. She’s partially draped over me and lifts her head,

“What the?” she says all groggy. I grab my phone and it says 4:30 A.M.

“Oh f**k. Baby, we slept all day and night,” I tell her.

“Oops,” she says and giggles. She puts her head back down on my shoulder.

“Baby, we have to go training,” I gently move from under her and head to the bathroom. As I’m washing my face, I hear my phone ring,

“It’s Brandon!” Allie says.

“Answer it for me!”

“What Brandon?” I hear her. “Yeah, we’re up…We’re getting ready to head out now…Yeah, we were super tired…Today, I planned for us to go to the waterpark…After breakfast…Not sure about lunch yet…Uh-huh…Okay…Stop calling me Gizmo!” I hear her grunt. A few seconds later she comes into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

“Is my Gizmo grumpy this morning?” I tease her and she just glares at me. “No, sprinting,” I remind her. She nods while she brushes her teeth. “Baby?” she looks at me. “You sure you can run on an empty stomach?” she nods. She spits and rinses.

“I should be fine as long as I do a light jog, and if we breakfast right after,” she says and smiles. I nod and she goes to go change into her workout clothes.

We go down to the lobby, and to my surprise, everyone is there.

“Wow, you guys are alive!” Sin says to us and gives Allie a morning hug, followed by Leah and Sam.

“Sorry, we didn’t expect to sleep all day and night like that,” Allie says.

“Dude, we texted you all day, and no one responded. We thought something happened to you guys,” Brandon says giving me a fist bump.

“Our bad,”

“Why are you two here anyway?” Allie asks Sin and Leah.

“Oh, we enjoyed the run yesterday so much we figured we would do it again,” Leah said

“Yeah, we’re going to skip the other stuff though,” Sin added.

“Sam, you know the drill,” I tell her. She smiles and nods.

“Alright gang let’s head out,” Lucas says and leads the way for our ten-mile morning run.

All of the girls are doing surprisingly well, and no one seems to be overly exhausted.

“What did everyone do yesterday while Allie and I slept?” I asked Brandon during the run.

“We really just stayed in the room to be quite honest. The girls went to go get massages in the afternoon, but that was about it,” he responded.

“Did C.J. give you a call by any chance?” I asked

“Yeah, he did,”

“And?”

“I agreed to help him replace a new Beta for his pack,” he responded. I nodded and we kept going. Every so often I mind linked Allie to make sure she was okay. I was more concerned that she was jogging on an empty stomach while pregnant, but she kept assuring me she was okay.

We got to the beach at the end of the run, and Allie decided to burpees, squats, and lunges down the beach. I was in the middle of doing my sit-ups when Allie came over and sat on her knees in front of me. She held my ankles, and every time I came up, she gave me a small k**s on my lips.

“Seriously?” Mikey said.

“Allie, you make us look like bad mates when you do s**t like that with Dorian!” Sin shouted. We both ignored them and kept doing our thing. On my last sit-up, I grabbed Allie’s face and gave her one long deep k**s. She got up and used her tiny body to pull me to my feet.

She went back to Sin and Leah, while everyone else did some sparring and wresting in the sand. We decided to do it tournament style- Mikey versus Sam, Lucas versus Brandon. When it came to Sam and Mikey, there was no competition, Sam was so fast and small, she can outmaneuver Mikey. Brandon and Lucas were more fun to watch. They were pretty equal when it came to strength and skills. It was close, but Brandon got the upper hand this time.

So, now it was Brandon versus Sam, and the winner was going to take me on. Again, it was no competition, Brandon has yet to beat Sam in sparring. Her skills in mixed martial arts are unmatched. She easily knocks him to the ground and pins him. Allie and the girls are cheering for Sam, and Brandon hangs his head and sits by Leah who comforts his broken pride.

“Sam, you ready?” I say to her as I step into the makeshift ring.

“Boss today is the day I take you down,” she tells me. Sam has beaten every male fighter in our pack, except for me. She has made it her mission to pin me.

“Sam, you’ve been saying that every day for over a year,” I tell her.

“Sam! Don’t hit his face!” I hear Allie shout. We both smile and get into position.

“Let’s dance boss,”

————-

“Better luck next time Sam,” I tell her as she is lying on her back in the sand. She put a good fight, and it look longer to pin her, but I was still victorious.

“Dammit! Ugh!!” she hits the sand. Lucas helps her to her feet and she huffs. I walked over to Allie and she meets me halfway.

“You didn’t have to slam her into the ground like that,” Allie says putting her arms my waist.

“I didn’t slam her that hard. She may be a fighter, but she is still a woman. She put a good fight this time around. She’s definitely getting better and stronger. I think one day, she will be able to take me down,”

“Let’s go shower and head to breakfast, I’m starving,” she says. I put my arm around her and we had back to our room to shower and get ready for the day.

We all meet for breakfast per usual, but instead of the breakfast buffet, Allie opted for a café on the water. The morning was a lot cooler today than the previous days.

“Have you guys talked to the triplets?” Sin asks while we were eating.

“Not directly. We talked to Andre yesterday and he said that they took it really hard. They’re not speaking to their parents, and Katie locked herself in her room with the twins,” Allie responded taking a sip of her mimosa.

“What did the guys say?” Mikey asks.

“They don’t know yet. The triplets don’t want to say anything until we are all back and in one room,” I tell the table.

“Is C.J. still there?” Lucas asks.

“No, he left not long after speaking with me and Leah yesterday,” Brandon responds.

“Anyone else excited for the waterpark?” Leah asks.

“I’m excited! I haven’t been to a waterpark is years. The ones we have in Vegas are kind of shitty, and get old fast,” Sam says downing her eggs. I look at Allie who is staring at Sam and she furrows her brows and c***s her to side a bit. I send her a mind link,

Gizmo, everything okay?

Is it just me or is Sam glowing?

Baby, I don’t know what that means.

I think she’s pregnant.

I looked down at her in shock. She hasn’t been wrong about this yet; she has been 4 for 4 when it’s come to pregnancies in our pack members.

What do you need to know for sure?

I need her to look me in the eyes.

“Hey, Sam,” Allie gets her attention.

“What’s up?” she looks up and Allie immediately stares her in the eyes. She stares a few seconds and c***s her head. “Why are you staring at me like that?” I look down and see Allie do her signature brow lift and then smiles at her.

“Oh oh oh!” Leah freaks out

“I know that look!” Sin exclaims.

“What?!” Sam is confused and so are the guys. We never tend to witness Allie’s sensing abilities like this.

“SAM!!” Lean and Sin scream in excitement making Sam jump. Sam never gets jumpy.

“Sam,” Allie says, and we all look at her. She crosses her arms and smiles big. “If we were at home, I’d tell you and Lucas to go see Dr. Quinn, but since we’re not, I’ll just flat out say it,”

“Say what?” Sam asks.

“You’re pregnant,”
