House of Alphas Chapter 68: AM (Patreon)

Yoshinubu's mouth gapped like a fish, “Y-you DARE SLAP ME!?” He stood as light magic erupted all around him causing the chapel to be filled with a powerful gust of wind. The man was radiating light as his eyes glowed.

You squinted, the bright rays were so blinding that it hurt to stare into it. As if you were being hit with the most powerful high beams.

“AN ATTACK ON ME IS AN ATTACK ON THE HOLY LIGHT! I AM THE LIGHT! I AM ALL THAT IS HOLY! YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED!”

A beam of light was shot at you, and you gasped in shock, the ball consumed your vision, and all you could think of was how bad it was going to hurt, preparing for the pain.

But within a split second something blocked the light but the impact still hit.

“Ah!” You cried as you were sent flying, crashing into the double doors and then sliding upon the pathway. The whirlwind of it all had you spiraling in dizziness, but you shook your head to get yourself back to reality.

“Ngh…” Gojo let out a little groan as he sat upon his elbows, he had taken the blast for you, his infinity barrier sizzling as blood peaked upon the corner of his lip.

“Gojo!” You moved, already healing him as the furious priest came walking through the doors.

Onlookers were running to see what was happening, shocked by the spectacle.

“If YOU won’t tame your brat then I will.” The priest held up both his hands as he prepared another attack. The light gathered above him as he readied a giant ball of light.

“Don’t you dare!” Gojo sat up with snarling lips.

“What the hell is going on?!” Nanami, Toji, and Sukuna came sliding into the scene. Your blonde stood between you and the priest while Sukuna got ready to fight. Toji bent down next to you, covering you from any danger.

They didn't know what was going on but all they knew was they had to protect you.

“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!” Nanami shouted seeing as the priests hadn't lowered his attack.

Yoshinobu hissed, ball still blazing with anger but he spoke his reasoning for attacking you, “Your omega has SPIT at the light, disrespecting all that we hold dear!”

Ok, first off this man was really on some other shit. Must be snorting the equivalent of crack in this world. It was gross how he embodied himself as the light. He views himself as greater than anyone here as if he were a god. He thinks therefore he is.

“It doesn’t have to be like this!” Yaga tried to reason behind the priests.

Utahime surprisingly tried to help as well, “Grand priest our prime alphas should handle their omega!”

Nanami raised his hand, taking a deep breath, you could hear the tenseness of his voice, “I do not know what our omega has done but allow US to deal with her.”

“She is ours to punish- not yours!” Sukuna growled out.

You were silent, watching everything unfold. You weren’t sure if you were about to fight or if Nanami could negotiate with the priest to allow you to be handled by their hands. You had committed a crime, and despite it just being a slap you had broken a law, but Tengen did it feel so good to slap that ass hole. Now you just hoped you didn't doom everyone. Gojo and Toji made sure to block you with their bodies, while Sukuna paced around, ready to strike anyone who dared to go for you. You had just noticed Getou was slinking in the shadows, prepared for a surprise attack.

It was a silent battlefield, eyes darting around in fear. It felt like hours went by but it was only but mere seconds.

Tweedle dee and Tweedle dumb joined the party, looking between everyone in bewilderment, “Good heavens! What is going on?!”

Nanami spoke without bringing his eyes away from the old priest, “Our omega has caused a disturbance, and as her alphas, we will deal her punishment. It is up to us to correct her when she misbehaves. Being as she doesn’t know how the world works she does not understand so let us correct her.”

The grand priest growled as he threw his hands down, his ball of light dispersing in a flash. He pointed a crooked finger at Nanami, “I expect a proper punishment to be dealt. I don’t think I need to tell you that if she were anyone else her actions would have bought her a life sentence or death.”

“Like I said… we will handle it, and make sure it never happens again.” Nanami repeated sternly.

The older man tossed his head, dismissing you all.

Nanami turned and marched toward you with a cold stone face. Your stomach dropped as he knelt and yanked you up by your upper arm.

“N-Nanami im sorry-“

“Be silent.” Nanami growled at you with a snap of his teeth.

Your eyes watered, feeling not just embarrassed but also like complete shit. You didn’t do anything wrong, that old man was a damn asshole! You began to cry as Nanami dragged you away. Your other alphas follow close behind. You were already going through excuses and what you would say when you got behind closed doors. You were afraid to know how they would punish you. All of this was causing you to have a meltdown. Sniffling and crying your way as you tried to hide from those who looked toward you like a convicted felon.

None of this was making sense.

None of this was what you wanted and none of this you could have for saw.

Why wasn’t it that your hardest difficulties had yet to come but here you were dealing with shit like this?

The priest had fooled himself into believing he worked for a good cause, his light energy as powerful as ever, but in reality, his way of thinking was impossibly skewed. Or perhaps it was you? No-no it couldn’t be! All of this had you ping-ponging from left and right. You were just so tired. You felt like you were tricked and yet you had no way of proving it. How will your alphas believe you? They had to believe you!

Nanami pushed open his door, pulling you in as he tossed you onto his bed. You hit the bed so hard you bounced upon impact. You were feeling as though your skin was crawling, your mind turning into a panicked carousel, You were crying as you wiped your eyes that were blinded by your tears, “I’m sorry I'm sorry-!”

“When we are done with you, you will be sorry! Toji.” Nanami spoke like a commander, opening his hand as your other alpha gave him his worm.

“Be silent baby girl…” Toji spoke sternly but softly.

You hated the way they looked at you, actually, Gojo wasn’t even looking at you, he had his arms crossed as he leaned against the wall. You were not in the wrong here! Right?! This whole world was insane! “Y-you don’t understand! Please listen to me-“

“No! We don’t want your excuses!” Nanami shouted as he finally pulled out something from the worm. It was a purple talisman.

Your brows furrowed as you watched him toss the talisman against the wall, and it stuck to it with the symbol glowing. He then tossed a few more against each wall. You watched and then realized in your state of despair what he had just put on the walls. He had just put up sound barriers.

“Oof-“ You gasp as Nanami pulls you into a hug.

“I’m sorry…i’m not angry at you I'm not…”

You could feel the tiny tremors in his body as he took a shaky breath.

Your other alphas let out a deep sigh of relief.

“That was hard to fucking watch…” Getou sighed while rubbing his neck.

“Did you have to grab her so hard?” Toji growled at Nanami.

“I had to make it believable…” Nanami spoke softly as he pulled back from you. “Are you okay baby bird?”

You sniffed as you finally realized that your blonde was putting on a show for those around you. You let out a cry as you threw your arms around his neck and let out all your frustration. “I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM! I’M NOT FUCKING SORRY!”

Sukuna snorted, “What happened to you were sorry?”

“Fuck that!” You yelled while shaking your fist in anger, hot tears spilling down your cheeks. “I was only sorry if you guys were mad at me!”

“What did you do?” Toji questioned.

Gojo let out a laugh as he shouted, “SHE SLAPPED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT OLD FART!”

“Nice.” Sukuna chuckled in approval.

“You should have seen it.” Getou added with pride.

“He deserved it!” You shouted. “He’s a lying snake! The test I did was not in the book! He tricked me!”

“I knew it! It’s because of me isn’t it?” Gojo put a hand to his chest.

You clicked your tongue, “Actually…your relationship with Utahime was never said in the story…”

Toji seemed surprised, “Your relationship with Utahime? When was this?”

Gojo sniffed while crossing his arms, “Oh you know, the usual entrapment story. The elders wanted to control me and use Utahime as a way to keep me tamed.”

“Gojo denied their omega and they have since been pissed.” Getou added.

Cool cool cool. So Toji and Sukuna had a secret story that was never told and now Gojo and Getou had one too! Did Nanami have a secret story you were unaware of???

“Well, (Y/n) had said that wasn’t the reason though.” Sukuna pointed out. “If it wasn’t Gojo then it would have to be you.”

“Yeah…I think it’s because I have dark energy.” You shrug lightly. Your mind was still rolling around the idea that Utahime was offered to Gojo to be his mate. She was a fine omega, so why didn’t he pick her before?

“Dark energy?” Getou and the others continued the conversation, “Over something so simple, how ridiculous.”

Gojo and Utahime?

“Considering their all-out war with witches, it is a genuine fear that they have.”

Why didn’t he pick her?

“She’s not a witch.”

Did she want him?

“You know how idiots can be.”

Where was this in the story?!

“There have been priests that have come from the dark to the light side, so that is not a valid argument.”

Did they do anything together?

“Whatever it could be, what are we going to do about this punishment?”

You furrowed your brows, not knowing who said it but coming back to the conversation after having your mind blown by Gojo’s could have been relationship. You don’t know why it bothered you but you tried to remember if there was anywhere in the game that hinted to such a thing. There wasn’t. “Punishment?” You questioned looking at all of them with confusion.

Nanami hissed low, “Yes… this might be a hard one to deal with… The only way the elders will let something like this slide is if they feel your punishment is good enough.”

Your stomach flipped, “You guys are going to…?”

Your blonde rubbed your back gently, “I don’t want to punish you, sweetheart, I am just trying to think of a way to handle the situation…”

“We can fake it.” Getou threw out. “We can make it look like we punished you.”

Toji nodded, “I was just about to say that…but how could we do that?”

“Well…maybe I can just be bedridden…for like a day…?” You shrug. “If I don’t leave my nest then how would they see me?”

Sukuna was quick to shut that down, “If the betas wash you then they would tell.”

“Ah…true…” You hummed.

“Fuck the punishment.” Gojo growled out.

Nanami frowned,” Making an enemy out of the church would not be a wise decision..especially now.”

You nodded, “He’s right Gojo…I hate them but they are a powerful ally in the game…ah I mean book. We still need them.”

“Ugh… do they die in the story, I don’t want ot save them.”

You let out a little giggle, “Yes some of them do die, Yoshinobu falls sick and then Utahime takes over.”

You noticed the light smile on Gojo’s lips, “Good, Utahime is waaaay better than them.”

Your face fell, expression going cold, yet you tried to not showcase it. Why would he be rooting for someone that played a hand in your downfall? Right now Utahime was on your shit list.

Before anyone else could speak there was an urgent knock on the door.

Everyone zipped up in attention, eyes darting around.

“HURRY UP AND LET ME IN!”

You heard someone whisper-shout on the other side.

Getou was the first one to the door, ripping it open as Utahime quickly rushed in.

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!

“What the hell are you doing here?” Sukuna growled.

Toji and Nanami stood between you and the priestess but Getou and Gojo seemed to be on her side.

“Wait- she’s not a bad guy.” Gojo defended the woman.

“Yes.” Utahime nodded, “Please do not group me with those outdated, cranky, old pieces of shits!”

Your eyes widen as the woman curses up a storm about her elders. You had never heard her curse before. She doesn’t say them at all in the game! She is seen as a sweet sweet innocent angel who doesn’t curse, smoke, or drink-

“I NEED A DAMN DRINK!” She shouted to the high heavens shaking her fists.

“You need a drink?” You joked with a little scoff. “Wasn’t it you who rigged my test?”

The woman’s eyes rested upon you, her gaze soft. “I swear to Tengen I never wanted to do that but you must understand that I had no choice. I’ve seen your light energy and do not doubt my soul that you are ready to learn such magic but the elders fear you. A person with both dark and light energy is a recipe for disaster in their eyes. It shows how complex your emotions are. There is a reason there are not many who possess both.”

You raised your brow, “I’m confused? What are you trying to say?”

“Listen I do not have much time to explain, the people had gathered to speak upon your offense and they want your punishment to be public-“

“Public?!” You gasp in shock.

“No way!”

“Absolutely not!”

Your alphas and you were in an uproar, Utahime quickly waved her hands to try to silence all your commotion.

“I knew you all would be against such a thing, I can tell how much you care for your omega.” This time her gaze looked toward Gojo.

“Yeah! And We aint doin that shit Utahime, do something about this!” Gojo growled.

“I’m trying-“

“Do something or i am telling them the truth!”

Utahime gasped in shock, pain evident in her voice as she spoke, “Gojo… I am doing all I can… but there is only so much an omega in my position can do within this alpha-run temple.”

“What’s the truth…?” You questioned looking between the two. What kind of history did they have?

Gojo looked up in anger and then finally rested his gaze on you, “Utahime is in love with a beta.” He then lookde at Utahime, “If I were to tell the church that you are tainted then how do you think they will feel about their precious virgin?”

The omega hung her head in slight embarrassment, “…I know you are angry with me Gojo… but I am doing what I can. If I am going to make a change to this temple then I must do it the right way. The people love Yoshinobu too much… and demand retribution for attacking him…they want you to… be in pain…and they want to see it.”

“I didn’t attack him!” You shouted.

“We won’t do it.” Toji shook his head in disgust. “She is ours to punish how we see fit.”

“I understand prime alphas, but if you choose not to then you will be making an enemy out of the church. I do not wish to witness such a needless battle… Please, I know how disgusting those Pohos can be, every day I have to deal with them… and every day I wish I could slap the shit out of them. However, the people did nothing wrong but be loyal servants. I hope you will decide to spare their lives at the very least.”

There was another knock on the door as Yaga said, “Times up.”

Utahime quickly bowed before running toward the door.

“Wait-“ You called to her. “If…if I reconcile with the church will you teach me the spell I need…”

“No…I’m sorry I cannot teach you, they won’t allow me no matter how much you prove your worth… You are better off leaving here as soon as you can… but I can give you a scroll that I have no doubt you can use to teach yourself…would that suffice?”

You gave her a sharp nod, and then the priest gave you a sad smile, “I’m truly sorry Raven… I never wanted any of this to happen. I swear when I become the grand priestess things will be different.” the woman then slipped out of the room as Gojo closed the door behind her.

“Fuck!” You hiss as you pull at your hair. Your alphas were also feeling the weight of the situation.

“What the fuck?” Gojo shouted, “I can’t punish you like that! I refuse to do it!”

“Well, I guess someone is going to have to…I just…fuck…” You walked to your bed and sat down upon it as you breathed deeply into your hands.

“I can’t do it either baby i’m sorry…I just…” Toji shook his head while looking away. “I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.”

Nanami seemed to gulp with a tense throat, “I…I can….I can do it….”

“Nanami don’t be foolish. As soon as she starts crying you’re going to fold like a house of cards.” Getou shook his head. “You could barely hold it together dragging her here!”

“Ngh-Well then what about you?”

Getou rolled his eyes, “I won’t be able to do it! I like a sexy kind of punishment, not this sick shit!”

Everyone then looked toward Sukuna who was quiet, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He didn’t say anything when the spotlight turned on him.

“What?” He raised a brow after the long silence.

“This seems like your type of thing.” Gojo shrugged.

“Yeah, I’m surprised you're not jumping for joy for this shit?” Getou added. That seemed to piss Sukuna off as he scoffed looking at you.

“Do you want me to do it?” He questioned.

You gulped, feeling as though he was probably going to be the most harsh with the punishment, but that would be the exact thing that they would be looking for. The man for the job was obvious. Yet he wasn’t raising his hand.

“Do… you want to?” You asked.

“No. But if this is what must be done then ill suck it up and be an alpha.”

Your other alphas let out little grumbles of displeasure.

“Not all of us can just openly be a dick.” Gojo hissed.

“What I do is more complex then just hitting my omega, I don’t expect a pussy like you to understand.”

“Oh yeah right i bet you will enjoy it-“

“We wouldn't be here if you would have handled the situation!”

“Alright!” You shouted at them before they could start throwing paws. “We…are not the enemy here…they are out there…let us not fight amongst ourselves.”

…

Silence befell your pack.

Nanami slid his hand over his face before taking a deep breath and heading toward the door, “I will try to talk to them.”

“What will that do?” Toji questioned chasing after him.

“We can reason with them!” Gojo and getou went as well.

“Stay put princess.” They called to you as you sat on Nanami’s bed.

Sukuna was the last one with you.

He rolled off the wall as he strode to the door. He stopped, looking over his shoulder, “If you want me to do this then I will, but don’t think I am doing this because I want to. I’m doing it because no one else can.”

You were left with those words as he slipped out and closed the door behind him.

You curled up in bed, hugging your knees to your chest, wondering if this was one of your biggest fuck ups yet.
