Omega Bound Chapter 224

Cyrus

"Why are we having a meeting when we could be gouging out Sonne's eyes with soup spoons?" I spin myself around in the chair in the war room as Ayla and Raven sit on a small sofa, trying to shove Warlock into the knitted sweater Ayla made our tail tumbler.

I'm pretty sure it's a boy, and the sweater his hot pink.

I need to remedy that somehow.

"Damon said to call an emergency meeting, and he was a few minutes out," Thane answers, flipping through a file on the ring, looking for something that may have been missed. I only know this because I do the same.

"Is it more important than coming up with our alibi for when Sonne was abducted?" I question, stopping the spinning chair before I could spill Raven's taco, which I ate for breakfast, onto the carpet.

"I could not care less about that right now." Thane answers, still digging through the file. The file itself is probably what he is using to keep his mind off the information he knows that he wishes he didn't.

Sonne raped his mate.

The door opens, and Damon walks in holding hands with his mate, who is holding a file box. 

They drove four hours for a box.

I want to know what's in the box.

"What's in the box?" I ask as Amani stares at me with a look of fear and maybe pity.

I'm not sure.

"It is what we called this meeting about. Not really a meeting but a need to tell everybody at the same time..."

"That makes it a meeting, dumbass." I interrupt him. He stammers when he gets nervous, and I don't understand why he allows himself to feel that way so much for any reason.

"I know that asshole." Damon growls.

"Will somebody please tell me what is going on?" Thane's eyes are wide, and his arms are in the air, waiting for the big information we are all gathered for.

"Amani told me her backstory," Damon states, squeezing his mate's hand.

"Congratulations," I respond, happy for him, but also wondering if we are supposed to call meetings for this shit.

"Shut up." He growls at me.

"Fine," I growl back.

"I'm killing everybody," Thane says as he throws a pen down onto the desk in front of him.

"What?" Ayla gasps, clutching my love opossum to her chest as Raven has her eyebrow raised with a look of boredom on her face.

"Ouch, don't bite." Ayla pulls Warlock away from her. Definitely shouldn't be wearing a pink sweater.

"If that thing bites my mate again...." Thane threatens.

"CAN WE ALL JUST BE QUIET FOR A MINUTE AND LISTEN?" Damon yells, and we all stare at him expectantly.

"Amani told me about her mom, and she showed me a picture of her. Her mother is your mother, Cyrus. Look at the photo." Amani reaches into the box and pulls out a photo, walking toward me. 

Yep, that is my mom.

"Looks like we are brother and sister." I smile up at her, holding the photo and comparing it to the shifter before me. She looks like my mother in some ways. Amani's tranquility reminds me of my mother before my dad died.

"We are, I mean..you are sure?" Amani asks, and I nod in agreement as I toss the picture onto the table, standing and setting my sights on Damon.

"Now...wait a minute." He holds his hands out in front of him in surrender.

Too weak for my sister.

"I told you I had a sister." I point at him.

"You didn't even know you had a sister." Damon points at Amani.

I don't like it.

"Clearly, I did. It was fate's soul tie babbles bubbling up from within me."

"That makes no damn sense," Damon interjects as I hear a wrapper open, and my nose becomes assaulted with the stench of pickles. A travesty without tequila.

"Did I give you permission to take my baby sister on a drive that far away?" I question him. He hasn't mated her yet either. Why? What is he waiting for?

"What the hell are you talking about? You didn't know she was your sister."

"You told me my sister rode your face all night long." I remember back to the meeting before he went to the brothel.

"Hey, wait a minute, hold up. What?" Amani shouts from behind me.

"THAT WAS BEFORE I HAD A MATE. THAT WAS YOUR IMAGINARY SISTER! I SWEAR I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU AMANI!" Damon yells. 

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU," I yell, diving for him.

"W-why?" Damon asks in between choking from my hands wrapped around his neck.

"You're not going to just live with my sister and bang her, you piece of shit!" I take Damon down to the floor as I hear a yelp and Thane cursing under his breath.

"Oh my gosh, is this my first big brother defending my honor moment?" Amani asks somebody as I wrestle Damon like an octopus.

"I think so," Ayla answers. Raven says nothing as she watches our opossum hang from her finger, not the least bit concerned.

"She's my fated mate, you idiot." I take him down to the floor for that comment.

"We're not banging. Tell him we're not banging!" Damon demands as I have him in a headlock, waiting for him to tap out. Truthfully, he didn't put up much of a fight. That alone aggravates me.

Is my baby sister not worth fighting for?

I'm going to kill him.

"We're not banging! Please don't kill my mate!" Amani yells from somewhere.

"Is my sister not good enough to mark, Damon?" I question letting up on suffocating him.

"Your sister is the best thing that happened to me!" Damon breathes loudly, gasping in air since it has become easier for him to breathe now.

"Awwww, that is so sweet," Ayla says from somewhere.

"Then why haven't you claimed her?" I want to know for purely nosy purposes now.

"You really asking why I haven't stuck my..." I growled loudly, cutting Damon off from saying something that would enrage my wolf.

"We are taking it slow. We went to get her stuff. She is officially moving in, and we are going to start looking for a place." Damon says as I push him off my body and stand, leaving him on the floor. 

I turn to my new sister, "You shouldn't be living together before you are mated." 

"What?" Thane and Ayla say in unison. I see that she made her way onto his lap during the scuffle, and Raven hasn't budged, but I can tell she is trying not to laugh.

"He should court you properly," I explain to her. 

"He is my fated mate. Typically, there is no courting involved." Amani answers, scowling at me. Great, our first fight.

"I courted my mate." A very long, stubborn courting.

"You chased her, not courted her," Damon answers, pulling himself off the floor."

"Same thing." I shrug.

"Didn't you live with her before you mated? You mounted her on this table in the middle of our meeting!" Damon scoffs and Amani makes a face and scrunches up her nose like it grossed her out.

Aww, look at us being siblings.

"I'm older and wiser. More experienced in life."

"I doubt that." Amani says. I guess she was found in a brothel.

"What do you expect from us, Cyrus?" Damon asks while walking to stand next to my sister.

I don't like it.

"I expect you to keep your dick to yourself until you are sure you are going to mark my sister." Not complicated rules.

"I am sure." Damon answers, looking at me like I am an idiot.

"You are?" Amani asks, looking at him lovingly.

Gross.

"Yes, I am." Damon wraps his arms around her, causing me to growl.

"Awwww...." Ayla responds, causing Thane to smile.

"What is your input, Fireball? You have been awfully quiet." I ask her, as my mate she should have some input plus she is apart of this meeting that isn't a real meeting, that is a meeting.

"Is that an opossum?" Amani questions.

"Yeah, you just noticed? It is our love child." I gesture with my head to my little family on the sofa. 

I need to burn that sweater.

"I had a pet rat once." Amani smiles.

"Of course you did," Thane replies flatly. "Please, for the love of all that is on this earth, do not give me anymore of him...please don't....I can't handle it....I can't do it...I can't." Thane rants with his hand in the air, dramatically talking to the ceiling as Ayla laughs, holding her growing belly.

Dumbass.

"We are a blessing." I inform Thane, flatly. "Only a curse when needed."

"I think if she wants to stay with Damon, we should allow her to because she is grown, but if Damon does anything that upsets her in any way, then we will personally feed him his intestines." Raven smiles at me and I smile back, getting hard at the thought of her and I mutilating her father together.

"And before you say anything, it is entirely possible for me to do that. I did it to my mate's father, so do not try me." I point at my new little sister, whose eyes flare widely.

"I will be respectable," Damon assures me, causing me to growl. "Don't you think you should be spending more time talking with your sister about her mother?" Damon questions.

"Our mother was a whore." I say to Amani, who gasps, clearly shocked by my straightforwardness.

"I'm going to kill you!" Damon pounces on me.
