Desert Heat (Complete)
Desert Heat Chapter 71

{Allie’s P.O.V.}

After I told them they were pregnant, Sam and Lucas went straight to the hospital in Nassau to make sure. Even though we were werewolves, an ultrasound is still an ultrasound. We decided to wait for them in Bridge Suite since it was still too early to go to the waterpark. It didn’t open until ten that day, and we finished breakfast just after eight. We had the whole day to have fun, so waiting for them to come back was not an issue.

“Damn, why is everyone pregnant all of a sudden?” Sin asked.

“Right? First Dani, Allie, and now Sam. There has to be something in the water we’re drinking,” Leah said.

“How far along do you think she is?” Brandon asked me.

“I tend to sense the baby pretty early on, the earliest I’ve sensed a baby, other than my own is your boys and the latest was Katie. She was already having morning sickness by the time I figured her out. My best guess would be a couple of weeks…” I honestly had no idea to be. It really depended on the person. The closer my relationship, the earlier I could sense it. My relationship with Katie isn’t as strong as it is with Sin, Leah, or Dani, or even Sam for that matter, so it took longer.

All of us were already changed and ready to head out as soon as Lucas and Sam got back. I decided to eat my fish that was in their freezer since I was running out of time to do so, but since I was pregnant, no raw products. I threw all of the steaks into the microwave for two minutes just to them thaw it out a bit. I mixed some salt, pepper, garlic, lemon pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley into a mixing bowl and fried it up with some butter. There were still some left-over tortilla chips on the counter and shredded cheese in the fridge, so I decided to make fish nachos.

When I finished, I brought my snack to the table,

“Yo, that smells good Gizmo,” Brandon said as he came over and tried to take a chip.

“Hey! Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to touch a pregnant woman’s food?” I say slapping his hand.

“Aw, just one bite Giz,” he says

“GIZ!? Gizmo isn’t enough that you had to shorten it to Giz?” he just flashed me a smile. “The moment you take a bite, you’re doing the dishes,” I tell him. He pauses a minute and looks at the sink. He shrugs his shoulder and takes a chip.

“Yo, this is pretty good Giz!” he says as he walks to the sink to clean up my mess. I roll my eyes and just start snacking.

“Baby, we had breakfast less than two hours,” Dorian says and opens his mouth for a bite.

“It’s not for me, it’s for our baby,” I tell him and put a chip in his mouth.

“Hey! Why does he get a bite and I had to agree to do dishes for one?” Brandon whines while at the sink.

“Because he’s my husband and you’re not,” I stuck my tongue out and continued to scarf my fish nachos. By the time I finish with the last bite, Sam and Lucas returned.

“Well? Were you guys able to get in for an ultrasound?” Leah asks.

“Was Allie right about you being pregnant?” Sin asks while I step out of the kitchen. I don’t know if it was because of my powers, but Sam was glowing even more than she was at breakfast.

Sam and Lucas look at each other, and Lucas reaches into his back pocket. He pulls out a string of ultrasound photos.

“The doctor thinks we’re about three weeks,” Lucas says with a giant smile on his face.

“YAY!” Leah and Sin shout.

“It was kind of hard to explain to the doctor when she asked when my last menstrual cycle was,” Sam said. Sin and I started laughing.

“That’s when you just say you have an irregular cycle,” I tell her and look at the ultrasound printouts.

“So, three weeks huh?” Leah asks. Sam nods.

“That means you guys were pregnant before we even got here,” Sin says.

“Do you still feel like going to the water park?” I ask them. They both nod and head into their room to change.

While we were on our way to the waterpark, Dorian put Sam on a paid leave of absence. She would still be able to train the fighters at home, but she would no longer able to participate in sparring sessions and she was only allowed to jog in the mornings with me. She was pretty frustrated, but since Dorian made it a direct order, she had no choice but to obey.

The first thing we all did was go on the waterslide that started at the top of a pyramid looking thing and actually went underground through a lagoon. It almost felt like you were sliding through an aquarium. It was the most amazing thing I had ever experienced. I was surprised that Leah and Sin went on it, but Brandon and Mikey went before them so they could catch them when they hit the bottom of the slide to keep them from drowning. Although I found it ridiculous since the water was only 4 feet in depth.

We did all of the different water slides and even though Sin and Leah can’t swim, they didn’t have a problem with any of them. One of the most amazing rides we went on though probably had to be where you floated on tubes through a shark tank. It was so crazy seeing all the different species of sharks all-around as you gently floated through.

After we went on all of the slides, we did one of the river rides that had a super-fast current. It was like white water rapids but with tubes. We had so much on this one that we all opted to do it again. We wanted to do the lazy river, but there were just way too many people, and we were also getting hungry at that time. It was close to two in the afternoon, so we decided to go get something to eat at a place called Shark Bites.

It wasn’t anything fancy, it was just typical poolside food like burgers and nachos. After we did that, we decided to walk around the aquarium that was attached to the main resort. As were admiring all the aquatic life, we were taking pictures, and being super silly. I took a lot of selfies with Dorian again and so did the others with their mates. After the aquarium, we walked around and did your typical touristy bullshit. Taking pictures with statues, hanging off of poles, couples poses, and all that fun stuff.

Before we knew it, it was almost 7:30 P.M. I didn’t have any reservations that night, so we all agreed to just go the buffet again to make it easy. Mikey of course reminded us it was his turn to pay, which we gladly let him.

“Aww… I can’t believe tomorrow is our last day!” Leah complained at dinner. We were all bummed, but I honestly was missing home and was excited to go to my wedding dress appointment.

“But aren’t you excited to see Sawyer?” I ask her

“WELL DUH! I miss my baby boy so much! Video calls just aren’t enough,”

“I have to agree, although I’m having a blast, I ready to hold my baby boy too,” Sin says. Sam and I just smile at each other knowing that soon we will be just like them.

“Hey, check it out, they just put out fresh king crab legs,” Mikey says sitting down a plate full of king crab legs.

“Oh my god! Where!?” I jump from my seat.

“Over there,” Mikey points in the direction. I’m about to take off when Dorian stops me,

“Sit. I’ll get it for you baby,” I smile and sit down.

“Sometimes the two of you make me sick,” Sin says stuffing taking a bit of her chuck roast. I just smile.

“Yeah, what was that s**t with the sit-ups?” Mikey asks cracking open a grab leg and giving a piece to Sin.

“I don’t know, I just felt like doing it. It’s not like I would ever do that at home,” I tell him taking a sip of my Moscato.

“You sure about that, Luna?” Lucas asks.

“I’m positive, I don’t need to be doing s**t like that in front of 200 plus people back home. Everyone would hate me and Dorian then,” I tell him.

“Hate us for what?” Dorian asks putting a plate of king crab and lemon in front of me.

“Oh, you remembered the lemon!” I said excitedly. Unlike most people, I actually preferred to eat my crab legs with lemon, salt, and pepper mix instead of butter.

“What would people hate for us?” Dorian asked again.

“Oh, if I pulled that sit-up stunt back at home,” I tell him while struggling to open a grab leg that wasn’t cut open fully.

“Baby give me that,” he says, and crack is open so easily. “I wouldn’t mind if you did that every morning, that means I would get two hundred morning k****s from my wife. It would also make me do my sit-ups twice as fast,” he says as he cracks open the rest of my crab legs.

“You know, that looks good, I think I’m going to get some,” Sam says and gets up.

“Sit down, I’ll get it. The boss is making us look bad,” Lucas says and gets up. Sam smiles ear to ear.

“Even if you did do your sit-ups faster boss, do you really want the entire pack seeing that side of you?” she asks him. “The big bad Alpha Dorian Shaw turned love-sick puppy?” she said mocking him and taking a bite of her buttered roll. Dorian gives her a dirty look and I just snicker while eating my crab. Lucas comes back with Sam’s plate and she digs in.

“Brandon, did you finish my drawings?” I ask him.

“Gizmo, I haven’t even started yet. I don’t have my sketch pad with me,”

“Oh, boo that,” I say and stuff another piece of crab in my mouth.

“What are these drawings you guys are talking about?” Leah asked

“Yeah, Brandon mentioned them the other day too,” Sin chimed in.

“I asked him to draw out a couple of tattoos I want to get,” I say without even batting an eyelash. I feel Dorian staring at me. I look up at him. He c***s his head.

“You want to get a tattoo?” he asks

“Two of them actually,”

“Where? And of what?”

“One will go here,” I say pointing my rib area by my heart, “and the other I want to cover my entire back,”

“You want to cover your entire back?” he asks, and I just nod my head. He gives me a look of concern and question.

“Do you not want me to?” I ask him

“It’s not that baby. I honestly don’t mind if you get tattooed, I think you would look sexy if you had some ink on you. I’m just concerned with the larger piece you want. That’s going to be painful,”

“I can handle it,”

“What are the designs?” he asks Brandon.

“Sorry man, I can’t tell you. I promised Gizmo I’d keep it secret until they were done. And before you get all Alpha on me, for it, I think it would best if you waited to see them when they’re done. I think you’re going to want to get them on your body too,” Dorian reacted to Brandon’s last statement.

“I’ll tell you what the first one is baby,” I tell him. He turns to me. “It’s going to be a bouquet of lavenders with her name in script,” I could see his expression soften and he gives me a k**s on the temple.

“What I can tell you what the other is man, is that is going to be f*****g sick. The design she came up with is so original and out of this world. I’m just hoping I can sketch it out and color it the way she wants,” Brandon says. Dorian nods in approval and I just smile. I finish my crab and sit back in my seat.

“Do you want anything else, Allie?”

“Mmm…I think I’ll do cocktail shrimp and then dessert,” I say and get up. Dorian tries to get me to sit down, but I want to go myself. I head over to the fresh seafood bar and grab a plate and small plastic cup for the tartar sauce.

As I’m putting shrimp on my plate, someone comes up next to me and the smell burnt barbeque invades my nostrils. I try not to react and keep getting my shrimp.

“Luna,” I don’t respond and move on to get my sauce and he follows me holding an empty plate. “Luna, you are more beautiful up close,” he says to me.

“What do you want?” I ask as I pour tartar sauce into the portion cup.

“I just wanted to get a glimpse of you up close, and smell you,” he says and inhales deeply as he leans over. I flinch. “I won’t hurt you, Luna,”

“Why are you even speaking to me?”

“Because I wanted to hear this angelic voice of yours, and see what it is my master actually sees in you,”

“Your master? And who is your master?” I ask pretending I don’t know anything.

“Someone who wants you all to himself. Apparently, you have made an impression on my master and I can see why,” he says and inhales my scent again. “I am keeping an eye on you, so don’t try anything stupid,” he says and walks away. I let out the breath that I was holding and stand there a minute. I pick up my plate and go back to the table.

I put my plate down and immediately sit in Dorian’s lap,

“Baby?” I ignore him and just hug his neck and inhale his scent. “What’s wrong?” he asks. I just shake my head. I inhale his scent again and start to relax. After inhaling his Dorian’s scent, a couple more times, I get up and go back to my seat and eat my shrimp in silence. I can tell everyone is staring and Dorian put his hand on my leg.

“I’m okay,” I tell everyone, and they all go back to eating, but still giving me looks of concern,

Baby, what happened? Dorian asks in a mind link

Not here Dorian. I’ll you when we get back to our room. I promise.

His hand on my leg relaxes and we finish dinner.

As we are heading back up to our rooms, I let everyone that our final excursion is ATV touring around the island. Everyone gets super excited, but I can tell Dorian still worried about what happened at dinner. I never sit on Dorian’s lap in public that way, and I know for fact we got a lot of stares, but I needed his scent to calm me down. The rogue has not approached me once since that day at the firm, and he never has once said a word to me. His voice was cold, rigid, and dark. It sent shivers down my spine and gave me goosebumps.

“What time do we meet in the morning?” Brandon asked

“The reservation is at ten, and it should take about ten minutes to walk there, so we can meet in the lobby at 9:40ish,” I tell them. Everyone nods and we all go our separate ways. As soon as we get into the room, I turn to face Dorian as he locks the door,

“Dorian,” he turns to face me. “Pick me up and hold me please?” I reach my arms up and he scoops me up. I wrap up my arms around his neck as tight as can without strangling him and my legs around his waist.

“Allie, what’s wrong?” he asks me. I don’t answer and just hug him. He hugs me as tight as he can without hurting me.

“Promise you won’t get mad,” I finally say.

“Promise,”

“The rogue, he came up to me when I was getting my food,”

“What?” I feel he’s about to push me away, but I hold onto him.

“Don’t, please. Just hold me, baby,” I beg him.

“What did he say to you?” he asks as calmly as possible.

“He said that he wanted to see me up close, wanted to know what I smelled like. He calls Tucker his master and that Tucker wants to have me to himself because I made an impression on him. The rogue, he sniffed me like four times…” that last comment made Dorian’s grip around me tighten.

“What else did he say?” I could hear the anger in Dorian’s voice.

“He said that he’s watching me, and not to try anything stupid,”

“He threatened you?” I nodded and Dorian let out a growl.

“Dorian, I’m scared,” I whisper. He tightens his grip again and just held me.

{Dorian’s P.O.V.}

Allie was so freaked out about the rogue approaching her, that she needed rough s*x to forget about it and calm down. Once she fell asleep, I mind linked the guys and Sam. Even though she was pregnant, Sam was still a team lead and needed to be brought in on the briefing,

After a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door,

“What’s up?” Boss said.

“Shhh…Keep it down, Allie is asleep, and it took me forever to get her to pass out,”

“Everything alright?” Mikey asked.

“Go to the balcony,” everyone heads over there. It’s just big enough for all of us to stand.

“What’s going on?” Sam asks.

“Does this have to do with Gizmo being freaked out at dinner?” Brandon asked.

“Allie told me that the rogue approached her when she went to get her last plate,”

“What? Did he hurt her?” Sam asks.

“Not physically no. He scared the s**t out of her though,” I tell them.

“Did he say anything to her?” Lucas asks. I nod and proceed to tell them everything Allie told me about the rogue, what he did, and everything he said to her. When I mentioned that he threatened her, everyone one of them growled in anger.

“He threatened our Luna to her face!?” Brandon’s eyes were black.

“That fucker has some balls pulling a stunt like that, especially since he’s been hiding like a f*****g p***y these last several months,” Mikey added

“Is the Luna alright?” Lucas asked. We all look over at sleeping Allie from the window.

“She was so freaked out, I had to hold her for an hour for her to calm down, but even then, I had to f**k her until she passed out. I love having s*x with my wife, but not like this,”

“s*x with your mate should never have to be used as a coping mechanism,” Sam said.

“What are we going to do?” Brandon asks

“We stick to the plan. Sam and Lucas, your teams will grab the rogue at the airport as planned. Brandon, I need to you gather as much wolfsbane as you can, and Mikey, I need to get pure silver chains to be used as restraints,”

“What? But that wasn’t part of the…” I grab his shirt cutting him off. My eyes go black.

“He threatened my wife! Your Luna!” I yell while gritting my teeth. “Beating him into submission will no longer suffice. I’m going to pump him with so much f*****g wolfsbane he will beg me to kill him. But not before he tells me where that fucker Tucker Harold is,”

“Yes, Alpha,” he replies, and I let go of his shirt.

“Tomorrow is our last day in, and we will enjoy it for Allie’s sake. But as soon as we are on that jet and heading back home, vacation ends and we get back to work,”

“Yes, Alpha,” they all say in unison.

“No one threatens my wife,”
