FOURTH

I am still in my sleepy self when I felt something fanning on my neck. Making me jolt a little because I feel ticklish.

It's already bright outside as the rays of the morning sun passes though the glass window. Blinding me somehow when I try to open my eyes.

Wait my shoulder is numbing already. Like it's carrying a lot of weight so I tried to give it a light twitch but I can't.

" Hmm...Stop moving Lioness. I still want to sleep."

A deep morning voice suddenly came off the sheets. A very familiar one too and so when I pulled the blanket away, Gemini's face meets my gaze.

He's snuggling on my chest like a lost cat in bare chest. A big cat so to speak. Sleeping comfortably while resting his head on my shoulder.

Tss..this prick. Now I know why my shoulder is numbing like hell. It's because of this deadass heavy Buffalo. When did he sneak into our room anyway?

"Gemini Norawit Titicharoeanrak, care to explain why are you in my room? " I ask him sounding annoyed with one brow rising up. Last night, Mae Ning lend this room to Me and the kids to rest into but now, I woke up and kids are no more.

Speaking of......

"Wait..Where are the kids? "

"Don't fret yourself lioness. I told them to get themselves ready. They're probably showering right now as we speak. " He grogilly replied as he snuggled into my body a even more.

"Ugh...Gemmm..your hugging me too tight! " I complained agressively while pushing his face off me because he's now starting to get naughty. Roaming his hands underneath my shirt!

Ugh..sometimes I'm really thinking that this alpha is just a boy trapped in a man's body.

"Gem...wait...stop..I can't breath anymore. Tsk..Ai'GEM gather yourself up!" I said as I cupped his face begorevI continue. "Now tell me, you told them to get ready for what? "

"We are going to the farm today baby. Anyway, where's my morning kiss? " He playfully replied as he keeps on leaning his face on my palms. Like a cat who wants to get pet on.

Now I don't know if I will get annoyed or I will just laugh at him for being childish. This personality of him is very far from the strict, arrogant and spine-chilling Gemini that I've met once.

Hmm... What if I'll scratch his chin though? Will he purr like a cat too?

"You are not thinking something naughty. Aren't you lioness? Hmm? "

"Uh-h-ha? I am not. My conscience is clear. " I definitely am though. Ugh... Now I'm starting to get really curious of his reaction if I'll do pet him.

"Uh-huh... Let's say I will just believe that. Yeah? " He replied with his bunny teeth smile.

"Anyway... Come here. Let me have have my...... "

Tsup!!/Hmmp!!

"Morning kiss. "

What the... He kissed me! I haven't brushed my teeth yet!!

"Gemmm.... "

"Alai? "

"My breath stinks! "

"Well who cares. Your lips is always sweet to my taste lioness."

"But still it's not hygenic. "

"I... Tsup... said... Tsup... I...Tsup..dont... Tsup...care... Tsup... Tsup... Tsup... "

"Hahaha... Gem... S-top haha.. Okay I get it now...I get it now..Stop! It tickles!!"

Damn, he's raining my cheeks with kisses!!!

"Ai'Gem!! Seriously you need to stop. Someone is coming!! "

Oh no! There are indeed footsteps from outside and it's rushing this way but Gemini is still doing it.

It's coming near now!! I gotta do something! I got to---

Bang!!!! ( The sound of the door harshly opened)

"What the--oi!!jeb!!!" Eh..uhm...That one is Gem. Groaning in pain after I kicked him off the bed. It's an accident really!!

"Lioness!!! Why did you kick me just n--oh hi kids. "

"See!! I told you two! "

"We got worried for nothing. "

"Yeah... We'll probably going to have a cute nong in a few months soon. "

Well.. Good thing that it's just our triplets. If it's Mae Ning or Po Nick, I would be very embarrassed.

"You know that I can hear you three right? " I said after I sat on the bed with arms acrossed.

There, standing at the door are my handsome Alphas wearing nothing but towels. Having on an amused face as they are laughingly teasing me with their father.

"Hehehe good morning Papa!! " They said in unison as they rushed to hug me side by side. Kissing me on my cheeks as they giggle.

"Oi.. How about Dad? Where are my kisses and hugs? Huh? " Gemini butt in as he looks at our boys with begging eyes.and pouting lips like a duck while spreading his arms on his side.

"Dad! You're a big guy now. Man up. " Raiwin replied to his father as he go on with hugging me. Earning a soft chuckle from his brothers and an astonished grimace from their father's face.

I can't help it but to snigger of my nose. He looks super devastated when his son replied him with that.

"Ao.. Alai nia? "

Damn he looks really funny right now. Haha eyes confused, mouth gaping in disbelief - showcasing his pair of bunny teeth again- which is cute by the way, and brows knotted like it was the end of the world for him.

Hahaha... I can't stand this Gemini anymore. It's so funny.

"Munchkins, stop teasing your dad now. "

"Haha alright. Sorry Dad. " Araun coed before they three shared a menacing look and started counting.

"Ready? One.. Two... "

Gemini was confused at first but his eyes widened in an instant when he realized what's going on.

"H-hey...d-dont...wait..ugh!... "

Gem wasn't able to finish his words anymore when his triplets suddenly jumps towards him altogether. Tackling him on the floor as they leaned on his musculine chest and arms.

Tsk.. Now I know as to where did they got this playful side of them. Its pretty obvious. 😒

"Alright since you three are done showering, then now it's my turn. " I grab their attention real quick with that as I walk off the bed.

"W-ait Lioness. I'm coming with you. Let's shower together." Gemini said in a hurry while standing up just to be tackled back down by our kids.

"Ao.. Boys... Let me go. Dad wants to shower with your Papa. "

"Ah.. Ah.. Ah... You can do showering in the other room dad.....Alone." Shaun said in a playfull way as he and Raiwin groped their dad's arms to prevent him from running away.

"Hahaha better luck next time my Lion. Take care of our cubs for a while. Okay? " I said while grinning widely. Tapping his cheeks to get even. Damn you could have seen how panicked and deprived he was. Shaking his head furiously to disagree. He really wants to join me so badly huh? Hahaha Poor Alpha. "Bye-bye."

"No!!! I wanna come with you! Teerak wait!!!! Kids please.. No..Ai Fourth!!!!!"

Gem still keeps on shouting even after I closed the door of the bathroom.

I sighed... Lord have mercy on me. I'm already stressed with the three and yet here's the fourth kid. Even more annoying than the others.

-------------------

Moving forward, we are now sitting altogether to have our breakfast. The kids are enjoying their food as usual however their father is a different story.

"Hmm.. It seems that our Gemini is sulking. What happened Fotfot?" Mae Ning whispered to my left ear as we both stared at Gemini. He really look so down that he just played with food, eyes knotted together in a frown, deadass silent and eyes are void of any emotion.

"It's because he wasn't able to join me in the shower earlier. The kids stopped him from doing so Mae Ning. " I answered timidly while scratching my neck.

"Really? Oh my...this is hilarious. The unstoppable Gemini Norawit has been stopped at last. You've got yourself a well trained knights in shining armour." Mae Ning almost burst out laughing but was not able to when Gemini looked at us with scrutinizing eyes.

We are still talking in whisper here so to speak. The patriarch could only smile in discreet as he reads his daily newspaper. Po might be enjoying this little show too somehow.

"Just a sec Mae Ning. Let me just tame our sulking Lion real quick."

"Go Fotfot. I'm rooting for you na. Fighting! " Mae Ning answered back as she giggles. They are really enjoying this drama. Aren't they?

Anyway, Gemini remained unfaltered after I moved my seat beside him. He's acting oblivious of the surroundings and just continue to eat his meal.

I can't help it but to smile because of it. Oi... My Lion is sulking so badly. Aww...so now what? Shall I pet his hair? How about I kiss his cheeks? Nah.. Our kids and his parents are here. It will be too much of an embarrassment for me.

Ugh... I guess not.

"Gemini... " I called out his name to gather his attention but he just continued munching his food. Even our kids stopped whatever they are doing. Curious as to what will happen next.

"Gemm... Come on now. It would be too hot to travel if we'll leave here late. You said that the farm is a three hour drive from here right?" I continued but still I got no response from this stubborn fated pair of mine.

Oi! It will soon be getting in handy if this goes along. Tss stubborn Alphas and their pride. Good thing that eleven years of experience made me a pro by now.

Huh.. This is easy.

"Gem... " I whispered as my hand slides at a leisurely pace down the line of his sideburns. Making him gulp so hard as he nervously looks at me.

"F-fot... What are you- "

"Shhh... If Daddy Gem will behave today, I will do whatever he wants later.... " I paused before I teasingly moved closer to his ear and whispered; "Khun chob mai? "

Tsup..

"I do."

What the.... He kissed me again!

I was about to hit his arm when a loud squeal caught me off guard.

It was Mae Ning who's staring at us with sparkling eyes.

"Ahhhh narak mak!!! "

Now I feel shy of what I did so I resume from eating but then, Gem moved to whisper on me.

"Don't you ever take that back lioness. Anything that I want huh? "

I gulp. I'm in trouble now. Aren't I?

"Anyway, I like it when you call me Daddy. That's so fucking sexy. "

Double gulp. Yup.. I'm in trouble.

---------------------------

GEMINI

(Insert ringtone)...

"Yes. Any news for me? "

I'm currently in my room. Getting myself ready for today's trip. I will take my family to the farmhouse as planned and for me to check also the status of my plantations.

Anyway, I'm on the phone with Sanguine Wolf right now. He's already done with the task I assigned him for.

"You will not believe this. Your grandmother is indeed insane boss. I sent everything that I gathered in your email. You go check them out now. "

"Hold on. "

I did what I was told and fish out my other phone off my bag. Right as he said, I received the documents that he sent. I wasted no time and decrypt it right away but as soon as the files flashes through my eyes, my brows starts to forrow with all of it.

What I have are deeds of sale from some properties that is not known to me, some photos of a lab interior, some receipts and photos of like artifacts which is pretty obvious to my grandma's profession but the last photo made me grip on my phone so hard.

"What the hell is this Sanguine Wolf? " I ask in an unamused tone.

"You should be aware by now that your grandma is a retired archeologist right White Lion? "

Yes. I know that one already but what I don't understand is to why I'm seeing my Dad's corpse together with his first wife Soracha and my brother Tin. Incaged in large tubes full of bluish liquid and is surrounded by different machines? So who the hell did we buried in the cemetery before?

"She's trying to revive them. Bring them back to life."

"What?! Is she that insane? And how did she do all of this? "

"I'm afraid she is boss and she's not alone too. That bastard Iglesias is with her. Those artifacts that you are seeing are said to have the secrets to necromancy. Buried eons ago from one of the intricate tribes in sumerian history. According to the files that I was able to steal from her, she was able to decipher the scriptures that has instructions on how to use them. "

"But she failed because it's impossible to bring back someone who's already dead! " I growled in anger. How could she dishonored the grave of his very own son?

"No she haven't started the actual ritual yet big boss. What she was doing this past years is only the restoration and preservation part of the process. She needs a suitable vessel complete the ritual. "

"Vessel? For what? "

"According to the scriptures she deciphered the corpses are only the gateway to get the right souls but they need to have a vessel body wherein the soul shall be engraved. "

"I'm confused. What does this bullshit has to do with her sudden appearance in my house and ask me marry some random omega? "

"To produce a vessel for her. You are the only known Pure blood alpha that is very suitable for her plan. You have a higher probability of having an Enigma child that she could use. If she could find a matching omega where you can mate with, then she'll have a good catch of you to have an Enigma offspring. "

"Enigma? I never heard that one before. "

"According to this scriptures, they are the Alpha of all the alphas. A unique breed that has a genetic imprint more powerful than a pure blooded Alpha like you. Enigmas are not so common in our era today because breeds like you and Fourth is so hard to find too. So you need to be careful boss. At this time, she already knows all about Fourth being the rarest omega and the kids that you had with him. I think you know what I mean by now right? "

I clenched my jaws out of anger.

"She's thinking that my triplets are Enigmas because they are conceive through the genes of the rarest Alpha and Omega which is me and Fourth. How dare she involves my family with all this bullshits?!"

"Bingo. However shes not sure yet its all just theories. She needs to wait until your children reach their maturity and shows the signs. If her hunch is correct, it is said that enigmas has talents that only appears at a certain age. Those talents are unique to every enigmas which makes them the highest rank among all genders. So you still have time to think of how to secure them to safety. "

"No...I don't think so, their birthday is in a few days now and that is also their coming of age to start producing their gender pheromones. I believe that is also the thing that my insane grandmother is waiting for all this time. " I said in defeat.

"So what's your plan now big boss? Will you tell your mate about this? "

"No. I don't want Fourth to worry. He's been through a lot already and I don't want my psychotic grandmother to add up to that. "

"Alright. Your call. So what's the plan then?"

"Organize a team to excavate the tomb of my relatives. I don't want those fake corpses to rest in the place that is not intended for them. I'll call you after the celebration of my sons birthday. I want it to be as peaceful as possible. "

"Alrighty. Consider it done big boss. "

"Thanks buddy and please extend my thanks to P'Win too. "

"Noted. Bye boss and thanks for the cash haha. "

"Tss. Bye. "

Line got cut off.

Damn that old hag. I will never let you do anything with my kids. You need to pass through my corpse first.

Tok.. Tok.. Tok

"Gem are you done packing? We need to go now. It's 45 mins past eight already. Come on. "

It's Fourth shouting behind the door.

With a deep sigh. I let everything slide in the meantine and pick up my bag. Close my closet and walk to the door with a smile plasteref my face. I don't want him to think that there's  something wrong.

"Yup. Where are the kids? "

I said as soon as the door opens.

"They're downstairs waiting for you. "

"Alright. I'm sorry I got a call from my business partner that took too long to discuss. "

"It's okay. Come on. They're excited to go already. They haven't been to any farm their lives so the triplets wants to venture so badly. " My lioness coed with excitement too as he chuckled rather cutely.

"Is that so? Then let's not keep our boys waiting. " I said as I grab his hand.

Fourth smiled sweetly to me as he tightens his grip.

"Okay then. Let's go. My lion. "

"Hmm I like that. " I replied before I drag him down the stairs. Laughing at our heart's content.

I hope that nothing happens that is not to my liking but I should better be prepared.

For my Fotfot. ..

And our sons...

They are now the love of my life.

I would surely die if I lose them.

I just can't.
