House of Alphas Chapter 64: We Celebrate with A Hunt (Patreon)

Author Note: Hello my diners! It has been a busy busy holiday season for me but my family finally left. I did my best to sneak in the kitchen and cook in hiding but it was quite awkward to have my family try to hangout with me and I'm just thinking I really wanna go write some smut right now but I cant kick them out of my room and they don't let me hide 😭.

I love my family but being cramped in a house is alright in the start and then it starts becoming exhausting XD. They are very social and loud and I'm not so I feel like I'm being kidnapped 24/7 by them lol. Which isn't a bad thing but my social battery is deplteded until the new year.

 I feel bad though because My mom was so sad to see them go and I'm just like “sorrows…sorrows prayers…”

I hope I don't sound like a bad person and someone can relate lol but I also hope you all had a wonderful holiday if you celebrate anything or just a wonderful week I dunno you do you but just be happy kay? chef’s orders 🖤👩‍🍳

“You must get used to the smell first before you can chase after the prey.” Sukuna breathed deeply as he took a whiff of the Deira’s tuff of hair. “The more you scent them, the better your hunt.” he passed the hair so everyone could get the scent.

When it was your turn you breathed deeply while closing your eyes, trying to imprint the smell into your memory. It smelt sort of like pumpkin pie. “This is what all Deira’s smell like?” you questioned passing the hair to Gojo.

“Not all of them.” Toji corrected you, “Snow deiras have a different fragrance.” Your alpha then flicked his chin, “Which direction do you think it went?”

Getou’s button nose twitched as he searched, “That way.” he pointed behind you.

Nanami shook his head pointing in the opposite direction, “I believe it went that way.”

Gojo scoffed, “There’s so many different smells how can you even tell which one is which?”

Sukuna rolled his eyes, “Tch, the whole point of this is getting used to the odor so you will be able to pick out what it is you are hunting.”

You focused on smelling around, but you were simply not good enough to catch where the Deira went. You moved a bit so you could see with your nose. It was like you were in a damn perfume shop, your alphas scents smelt way more appealing but you did your best to ignore it and everything else.

“All I smell is my sweet sweet omega~.” Gojo put his nose to your hair as he breathed deeply making you giggle and swat him away playfully.

“We aren't hunting me silly…(though you are pretty sure they'd enjoy that)…Let me see that.” you grab the hair from Gojo, using it as a means to reset your pallet. It worked wonders. By using the hair and focusing on that pumpkin smell it was like your nose was being pulled into the direction. You imagined being coaxed like in the cartoon, where the good-smelling pastry was waving you closer. You grinned and pointed in Gojo’s direction. “The smell is most potent that way.”

Toji nodded, “You're right baby, good job.”

“At least someone is using their nose.” Sukuna complimented, making your inner self do backflips over all the praise. But you kept your humble expression with grace. Not to boast too much about getting the answer right. This was good practice for all of you. “Did you see how she used the hair to keep her nose focused? That's what you must do to keep yourself on track.”

“That is until you get a better understanding of how to separate what you are smelling.” Toji then gestured to you to lead the way.

You jumped up, trotting with soft steps as you followed where you were being led to. Your alphas were close behind. “It's here!” you shouted excitedly as you busted through the bushes. But you were met with an open grassy area. Disappointment filled your gut. “Damn…” you cursed. “I thought it was for sure here.” Now you were confused about where you were supposed to be going, the fur could only give you so much of an aroma before it began to lose its smell.

Toji was gentle with his words, a hint of encouragement laced within. “It was here. Use your nose to find your next clue.”

“Right right of course.” you breathed as you searched for where you could find that pile of fragrance.

“OoOoOi!” Getou shouted waving you all over.

You looked to see he had summoned his spirit animal that looked like a fluffy ghost fox with wings. It was circling the tree and yipping around excitedly.

“Isn’t that technically cheating?” Gojo questioned as you all gathered closer.

“Yes, You are supposed to be training your nose Getou.” Nanami chided the alpha.

Your sassy alpha rolled his eyes, “I have pets to do my bidding, why would I do peasant work.”

“If it works it works.” You sniffed around the tree, the aroma had a tang to it. You flinched back with a face of disgust, noticing the wet spot. “Ugh is this pee?”

“Yuck.” Getou stuck his tongue out,” Now I am really glad I didn't get too close.”

Sukuna scoffed, “Alright princesses in the wild you use everything to your advantage, leave that sissy shit at home. Lead us to the next one.” You were given a little push as you nodded.

In a way Sukuna was right. It was an omegaverse after all so you cant get all weird about it. Everything is a clue to where the target went. Swallowing your bile down you took a nice breath before going back to hunting mode.

As you move from each spot you start to feel a sort of rush.

“We are close!” you shouted excitedly as you circled a berry bush, the aroma was thick. You were like a bloodhound picking up crumbs left behind. Something in your blood began to pump as you grinned, getting closer and closer. Your heart was beating fast, adrenaline in your veins as you prowled around like a hungry predator, at one point you even leaped over a fallen tree with all four limbs.

“Baby wait-” Nanami had called to you but Sukuna had stopped him. You were moving faster now leaving them behind.

“Let her hunt.” Sukuna chuckled as he jumped above and within the trees. “I got her.” He shouted propelling himself forward. You were fast but certainly not faster than him. He was enjoying watching you move so fluidly like a vicious little vixen. He was even surprised you moved so lightly on the balls of your feet.

You were a natural.

You were working on autopilot. You could sense your kill- feel it approaching. Like you were surging through water and ready to breach the surface. Your claws readied and your teeth slicked with saliva as you leaped out at your target ready for blood. As you pounced on the Deira it let out a pitiful cry, falling to the ground with you on top of it.

It all happened so fast. You heard a noise and as you looked up you saw a baby deira looking at you with frightened black beads for eyes. The animal under you let out a cry that you could only assume meant run. The baby seemed to hesitate before darting off with whimpering that shattered your entire heart.

This- this felt terrible.

That hunt and rush you felt sizzled away as swiftly as it was lit. You looked at your bloodied clawed hands and the gaping wound upon your prize. It appeared the animal had already given up, its life slowly drifting away as the light began to disappear.

“Fuck- heal!” you quickly placed both of your hands on the deer so your holy energy could seal the wound.

“What are you doing?” Sukuna snapped as he landed aggressively.

You frowned, still feeling quite discombobulated from the whirlwind of emotions. “This just didn't feel right.” You felt the knots in your stomach untwist as you watched the deer-like animal revive back to life, yet feeling the presence of your alphas it stayed as still as possible frozen in confused fear. You pushed it gently helping it get up.

“You caught it! Ni…” Toji began but realized you were letting the Deira go.

You could sense everyone's silent confusion as they watched you send the Deira away.

“Go.” you patted its bottom as it looked shakily between your ferocious fiends and then skipped off to be with its baby.

“Oh you sick girl, healing it to chase it again! Let's go!” Gojo skipped past you but you grabbed his arm before he could enact on his twisted delusion of what was going on.

Holy fuck if you were truly that wicked-

“No no…” you sighed looking toward everyone. You could see the smoke spewing off on Sukuna as he stared at you with his arms crossed.

“You let it go?” Nanami raised a blonde brow.

“What the fuck is it this time?” Sukuna barked out but Toji stepped in.

“Stop, she may never-”

“Don't you dare say ‘killed a beast before’ because she has slain plenty.”

“Ok well this one just felt different!” you threw your hands up trying to defend yourself. “…I felt bad…” You could see that your alphas didn't seem to understand but tried to- of course Sukuna was more… Sukuna about it.

“How? You literally ate a Deira the other night.”

Gojo shrugged, “Maybe it's the killing part.”

“Would you like us to do it?” Nanami offered.

“No…” You shook your head. “I think… seeing the Deira and her baby…I don't want to take its mom away…or any of their family.”

Sukuna scoffed, “The other beasts have family too!”

“Does this mean we cant have deira anymore?” Getou questioned.

“N-”

“Or any beasts at that…”

“That's not-!”

“Aw, man do we have to eat plants?”

“I can live off candy.”

“I'm not eating fucking grass I'm a damn alpha!”

“Baby you have to eat meat-”

“THAT’S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING!” you shouted while rubbing at your temples. You could not believe how left field all of this went. You were not ready to talk to your pack about going fucking vegan! “I-” you point to yourself, “-would rather hunt something that’s like…an actual threat I guess. I think what I'm trying to say is that Deiras don’t hurt anything….It just seems… sad. I'd rather hunt something that is an actual dangerous species. You know like a Kerka! Those things are mean and even attack fishermen and stuff!”

Getou hummed, “Um…We are a days away from seafood my dear.”

“It would be impossible for our journey and timeline.” Nanami added.

“I know I know, but I mean something like that.” you shrug seeing as your alphas sort out what you were trying to say. Sukuna was looking at the ground with his jaw tense. You could tell he wasn't buying into your cute pacifist Disney princess vibes. Yes yes, he likes all the mean options. But you can poke a different side of him. You aren't stuck with only four paths. You know you probably lost points with him but you can gain them back just as easily. You can compromise. The beauty of free will is amazing. “Come on Kuna. A Deira is not much of a hunt. Hell, I barely touched it and it was pretty much dead…”

If you can remember the critters like deers and bunnies literally had like 5 hp. You could have pushed them or even threw a rock at them and they would have died. But, you didn't even attack them in-game even though they gave you good meat. They just run along and mind their own business! They aren't hurting anyone!

With a quick check-in of your mental Wikipedia of the game, you knew what would be a better meal in the area. “… what if we hunt a Gyron?” you suggest with a little tilt in your tone. If you had to describe a Gyron, you would say it was like a winged dinosaur but doused in nightmare fluid… and make it really spiky. They were red and black with spikes as sharp as blades. Fiery beasts that were so aggressive they attacked any and everything. Usually, people would offer rewards for the monster to be slain and they also provide pretty sweet items for upgrades. It was truly a win-win situation. You could see Sukuna’s eyes light up with interest.

“A Gyron?” Getou questioned in slight shock.

“You, want to fight a Gyron?”

“Yeah, why do you guys sound so shocked? They normally drop good material and there's a lot of meat they can provide. We will have enough to last for a while! Now that, sounds like a rewarding hunt if you ask me.”

Gojo’s nose curled up, “Ugh that's sooo much more work though.”

“Not to mention those creatures are rather dangerous.” You could tell there was concern in Nanami’s tone. “Are you sure that's what you want? We could always find something like a Beira?”

“Uh…” A Beira was a giant bear- buuuut they were just too cute and cuddly looking even though they were technically aggressive... “No…no….” you can't say it's because they looked cute- Sukuna might lose it. “…If I'm gonna hunt I want to hunt! I don't want this pup crap! We can handle it! Well… unless you are scared.”

“The hell I am.” Sukuna tossed his hand like a sassy alpha. “You want a challenge then let's do it, but don't start crying if you get hurt.”

“If I get hurt?” you raise a brow, “Don’t be silly, that’s impossible when I have such strong alphas.”

Sukuna was caught off guard by your statement, the cat having caught his tongue as you saw the slight widening of his eyes. He didn't expect that. Now what is he gonna say?

You could practically hear the slight pur they gave off to your words. That certainly tickled all of their praise kinks.

“Damn right.” Toji chuckled as did the others. Sukuna looked away while muttering to himself.

Checkmate asshole.

~

You were on a new hunt now.

This time the fragrance was a bit metallic and woodsy. Sukuna and Toji picked up the scent first and then allowed you to lead when you were able to get a hold of it. Starting the hunt was usually the hard part because you hadn’t much for a nose, but man your alphas were good. You could barely smell anything until you found a piece of its scale.

You found a lot of pieces of the spikes of the Gyron or its saliva from areas it had hunted. When you found a pile of spikes you were quite taken aback by how large they were. The spikes were particularly hard and not easy to break. You could definitely see how such a creature could provide good material.

This time you ran with your pack and not ahead of them. You were cautious because it wasn't a simple critter. You will have to actually fight. As funny as it all was, you weren't the slightest bit scared. There was something about moving with the group. That surge that you felt early felt more blanketed over all of you. Like you could feel their excitement for the hunt. Almost as if you were all moving in one fluid motion, together, without missing a beat. It felt oddly domestically fluffy as deranged and ironic as that sounds.

When you heard the roar from afar you activated your armor- not the date night dress, you will have to upgrade that one to use it- but the OG one.

“Ready?” You shouted to your alphas, checking in on them as they nodded and gave you their confirmation.

“What’s the plan?” Gojo called.

When you had to farm* the Gyron you learned very quickly how to deal with it. You began to sprout commands without even a second notice.

“Sukuna and Toji take front and get ready to break those horns-”

“Getou make sure our target doesn't have any room to fly, keep them on the ground!”

“Gojo and Nanami focus on slowing it down, aim for his legs-”

“I'll do what’s needed and stay mid-range-”

“Also look out for the spikes, when they turn red get ready to move the fuck out of the way-”

“Got it?”

You got a resounding “Got it!”

And just as they said that you broke into the clearing where the Gyron was busy gnawing on a a bone. When it saw you it turned and roared while throwing out its wings in anger of such boldness from your pack.

Amazing- truly- the monster was huge and every bit terrifying. You don't know how you didn't have a hint of fear within your bones.

Sukuna and Toji cut across in front as they pushed on ahead letting out warrior cries.

“Let’s dance.” Sukuna grinned, dashing off in a firey charge.

The monster looked between the two before swiping his claws at Sukuna. However, before it could slash him a blast from Gojo flew and hit its hand. The attack made it miss Sukuna as he skated around it with fire trailing after him.

“Shadowbolt!” you yelled throwing your hand forward as the magic flew from your hand and hit the monster in its chest.

The Gyron let out a murderous snarl, spinning around with a wicked tail attack.

You put your hand out to stop Nanami from getting too close. Toji used his sword to block it, the attack sending him flying back a bit, his feet scuffing against the ground, creating divots.

“Feisty thing.” Toji grinned.

“Now.” You let your blonde go as he readies his clever.

“Allow me.” Nanami dove forward, slashing the Gyron’s elbow, he slid by in a whirlwind of dust.

The monster let out a cry and hopped away trying to find distance from you all. Its wings spread wide as saliva flew from its open mouth.

“Oh no you don't.” Getou flicked his hand, his spider queen laughed wickedly, throwing her webs at its wings.

The monster struggled, falling backward and flopping over as it rolled around wildly. It broke out of the webs while you ran forward.

You could feel all your alphas’ eyes zip toward you as they watched you run into harm's way. They wouldn't be able to make it to you in time. Only Sukuna could but it was like you telepathically told them- ‘I got it.’

The Gyron was a recklessly aggressive monster, it charged at you with little to no stamina jumping up as it lunged with its claws at you. If Getou didn't just slow it down so much then you definitely would have received a nasty blow- but you were much faster.

“FLASH!” you shouted clapping your hands together as a blinding light went off in front of the beast’s face. You then sidestepped it as it fell forward with a crash, swiping at the air. You felt an odd sensation coming over you as you shouted for your alpha. “Toji!”

On cue, Toji flew above you swinging his sword down and cracking the horns on its head.

“Kuna!”

A wall of fire blazed past you as Sukuna charged forward, hitting the horns in an explosive impact.

You could hear the splitting- THWAK!- as the horns splintered and split off. The damage caused the Gyron to flinch with an outcry, revealing its stomach.

“Take 'em out!” your pack released a barrage of attacks while the monster was stunned from losing its horns.

Within a second, its spikes turned red,” -!”

Without even a word everyone moved out of the way as the spikes shot out. Nanami had simply stood in front of you and blocked it with his shield. With a quick heal, you were back in it.

Moving flawlessly with one another, like a dance. Maybe Sukuna had something going there. It was like he was putting on a show, like who the hell is he performing for? Needless to say, you lost yourself in the battle with your alphas and the great beast…until you heard Sukuna say-

“Gambare gambare!”

Your eyes almost fell out of your sockets as you snapped your gaze to Sukuna.

He put his hands together and with a ferociously handsome grin he said, “Malovent Shrine!”

Fire burst from around him and flew toward the beast cutting up and burning everything in its path. With one last cry the Gyron had fell, cut into pieces and sizzling.

You couldn't believe it!

“Nice one.” Gojo cheered.

Nice one?! He just used his super move! WHAT THE FUCK?!

“Hm-“ Sukuna rolled his arm as if it weren’t even a sweat.

Everyone was just acting so casual about this!

“Ah, finally it's done.” Getou sighed.

“It was quite the battle, but I have to say I enjoyed myself. You were especially amazing sweetheart.” Nanami kissed you on your forehead.

You had snapped yourself out of your shock, gathering with your alphas. “Yes… I think I kind of got a little wild there too.” You smile feeling as though you had given into a more wild side. The bloodlust subsided. You don't really know what it was but you wouldn't say it was an omega feeling, it was quite different. Like you were one with your alphas, feeling their bloodlust course into you. It felt like you were bonded with them. Which was weird because there wasn't such a thing in the game. There wasn't a bond fight... yet here you are experiencing something that seemed like something you never heard of or read about. There had to be a more logical explanation. Like how the closer you get with the alphas the more in sync you are. To be fair… the ’l’ bombs were being dropped left and right so by process of elimination that sounded like the more probable cause.

If that were the case, you couldn't believe how strong your connection had formed. Did no one else feel it but you? Was it just weird for you?

You were going to voice your thoughts but then you saw your alphas getting ready to carve into the Gyron. You felt your stomach plunge as you quickly turned around, “I think this part is a bit too much for me, mind if I sit this one out?” you were going to strut away whether they said yes or no.

Getou made a face as he placed his hand upon the middle of your back, “Yes same here, let's go set up a new camp darling.”

“I'm too material girl for this.” Gojo added while also opting out.

“Are you kidding?! This is also part of the hunt!” Sukuna shouted at you all, but you made no move to turn around. “Fucking princesses.”

“Hey, my baby is a princess so let her be.”

Sukuna only rolled his eyes. You all were lucky he didn't mind getting his hands dirty.

“I’m helping as well.” Nanami popped up covered in blood nearly scaring the shit out of Sukuna as he almost fell.

Toji burst into a chuckle.

“So sorry Sukuna, I didn't mean to frighten you-”

“I WASN’T!”

“I had noticed you flinch-”

“SHUT UP NANAMI!”

You looked back in confusion at all the shouting, “What’s going on over there?!”

“NOTHING MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!”

You all were also lucky you were part of his pack…
