House of Alphas Chapter 95: Revolving Door (Patreon)

The betas were kind enough to wrap your food up while you changed out of your wet clothes.

Truly, you weren’t all too worried about the meal. Your stomach was full of alcohol, and you just had a wild catfight; if anything, you just wanted to take a nap.

You also wanted to leave the nest filled with Tigress’s fragrance.

It wasn’t bad—at least her natural scent wasn’t. She smelled like maple syrup or pancakes. However, her desire to claim her home made the scent have a sort of sour tang to it. You had to say this felt like the equivalent of a dog peeing on something to claim it. Now you understand the drama.

Your pack said farewell, but you were unable to say goodbye to Miguel and Negi. You figured they were busy comforting Tigress.

If you were lucky, the next time you see them will be when you depart from the city, and not a bloody battle.

“We can get a room in town, you seem tired.” Nanami commented.

You released a little yawn, “Yeaaah… that would be nice-“ You breathed in the fresh air and that’s when the scent of Tigress flooded your senses. “-ugh…” You frowned deeply, covering your nose.

“What?” Nanami looked confused at your sudden change.

“Do I smell bad?” Gojo questioned, sniffing his pits.

“…You all smell like her…” You let out a little grumble behind your hand.

Toji let out a handsome laugh, “Now you know how it felt when that beta was in our room.”

“It didn’t smell this bad to me…is it different since this was another omega?” You questioned, still covering your nose.

“Yes, but that beta’s scent was strong for us. I am surprised that he’s not an alpha.”

“He did say he had alpha tendencies… that probably gets him in a lot of trouble.”

“Who cares?” Sukuna commented, not liking how you sounded concerned for the beta.

“I care, actually. That beta had a connection with Raven, and I doubt he is someone evil. I think he could have been a powerful ally.” Your alphas had gone quiet after your comment. You didn’t have to look at Sukuna to know he was fuming to himself.

As you walked through the town, something caught your eye, making you stop.

“What’s wrong?” Getou spoke the question they were all wondering.

“Ah! I think… I want to do some shopping, can I have some money please?” You open your palm to your sugar alpha.

“Ah, sure.” Nanami got you some crystals and put them in a bag for you. He gave you a lot more than you needed, but that was fine.

“Thank you~!” You go to kiss his cheek, but then release a growl, “Ugh, can you guys shower?”

“Of course, sweetheart, it will be the first thing we do.”

“Cool! See you guys later-oh and don’t look at the stupid ball!” You ran off with a mischievous giggle that had your alphas raising their brows.

Gojo hummed, “She does know that showering won’t help much right?”

Sukuna snorted, “Let the princess figure it out on her own.”

~

You ran off to one of the shops you had passed by. An older man was sitting in the stand smoking a pipe, his table was full of knick-knacks. However, what you had spotted was the pretty leather journal that sat open with blank pages. You picked it up, running your finger over the etched-out design of the beach on the front. You thought it could be a perfect drawing book for Nanami.

“Excuse me, do you have different colored pencils?”

The man puffed out a little smoke as he leaned forward and picked up a pretty black feather. “You can change the color.” He flicked the feather, and it changed red.

“Oh, that is sooo cool~ I’ll take both of these please.” You purchased your gifts about to head for the inn but then you stopped. You knew this was a perfect gift for Nanami, but you had four other alphas who might get jealous. Welp time to go shopping!

Hopping from one shop to the next, you searched for things your alphas would like. For Getou, you got him a nice midnight kimono. Sukuna, you got him a sweet hunting knife with a dragon as the handle. For Toji, you got him a special kind of sauce that you could only get on the seaside.  

For Gojo, you had yet to find something for him. The shops didn’t really have any candy, and the ones they did have were a bit tart and not sweet at all. He would probably swallow it down despite not liking it, but that’s not what you wanted!

You hummed as you passed by a more enclosed shop. It was a hut that had purple smoke curling from the chimney. You couldn't figure out what the shop had, but you smelled something delicious and sweet. Perhaps there was better candy in this shop.

You moved to open the front flap as a couple came out giggling to themselves. Well, whatever it was, this shop must be pretty good to have people leaving in laughter- ah shit you just entered a sex shop.

You gaped as you stared at the many toys that lined the table.

The purple stuff you saw was coming from a black pot, sitting over a fire. A barely clothed woman was filling up a bottle to give to a customer.

When the free-spirited shopkeeper saw you, she came rushing over with a bright smile, abandoning the client she was just working with. Her hair was braided in a way to hide her naked breast. You don’t know if she was naked underneath all her hair, but you couldn’t really see any hint of clothing.

“Ah~ prime omega! How amazing to have you in my shop! What are you looking for?”

“Uhm… I dunno…” You mused, swept away by the energetic woman. You nearly died when you saw a large dildo in the back standing tall and proud, it was as long as your arm-WHO THE HELL WAS STICKING THAT IN THEIR COOTER?!

“We have all kinds of things to enlighten your experience, whips, lingerie, dildos…”

You zoned out a bit as you stared at the ‘lingerie’ that looked almost like the armor in this world. There was literally no difference. One has stats and the other doesn’t. You had a little internal laugh to yourself as you thanked the woman and dismissed her gently. “Thank you, miss, but I’m just looking around for now.”

“Call me over if you have any questions~!” She smiled big and then scurried off to help the customer whom she had ditched in favor of you.

You puffed your cheeks out as you pretended to look at the cute, soft pink baby doll dress. You will act like you were looking around and then exit swiftly. Actually… you twist your lips as you lean into your hip, why were you acting shy?! Your alphas would faint, wake up, and then faint again if they saw you in this! You mentally nodded your head as you picked up the lingerie, they would love it~!

“Hello, Omega Chief! What brings you into the shop today?”

Your eyes widen as you turn to see Tigress entering the shop, the saleswoman ditching the other customer once again.

“I’m looking to punish my naughty alpha, please show me your magic cock rings, he broke the last one.” She spoke as she picked at her nails.

“Right this way madam~!”

You tried to hide behind the baby doll dress, holding it up in front of your face, but after you heard a little sniff, you knew you were found out.

You felt a hand upon yours as Tigress slowly lowered the dress, revealing her little glare.

You laughed nervously, “Hey… hey…how you doing?”

“It seems I can’t escape you.”

“I am just going to…put this back and be on my way...”

“Why did you come here?”

“I was honestly looking for candy.”

The lady interjected, “Oh! We have that too-“

Tigress looked toward the woman as she zipped her lips and backed away. The stern expression painted her message loud and clear.

The other omega then looked toward you while crossing her arms. “No- why did you come to my town? Are you just here to torment me more? Haven’t you had enough in the Omega house?”

You sighed deeply, “Tigress- I swear on my damn alphas- Hell I would even make a b-l-o-o-d oath-“ you whispered looking around making sure none of your alphas bust down the tent like the koolaid man. “-I lost my memories. I and that bully you knew are two completely different people. And though I wasn’t the one who hurt you, I’m sorry it happened... But I cannot apologize for something I personally didn’t do or remember doing...it wouldn't be sincere.”

“Why do you talk like that? As if you aren’t Raven?”

“Because I don’t like who that person was, and that’s not the person I want to be. My own alphas rarely call me that name unless we are in front of others...and that's something that only my alphas know.”

Tigress looked away from you, blinking swiftly before saying, “How do I know this isn’t a trick? You got the prime alphas, and now you want to be all happy and paint this perfect picture of yourself.”

You shrug, “I dunno, and what’s even scarier is I don’t know if that person who was mean to you will come back… that’s why I told my alphas I don’t want those memories…” That part was somewhat a lie; you have no idea if you could recover such memories from Raven. And if you could, you honestly would be afraid to do so. What if you lose yourself in her memories? What if you become a third person? You didn't want to fade away within your mind.

“So there’s you- and then there’s the you that was a bitch…”

“That about sums it up.”

Tigress stared at you for a moment, different emotions colliding within her gaze. “So what? What happens if the other you returns and you get those memories?”

You furrowed your brows, thinking of such a question. “I never thought about that… and it scares me to think that she could return at any moment and I would disappear… but if she does, make sure you beat her up, I’ll be rooting for you.” You tried to throw a little joke in the end. It made you uneasy to think about Raven returning and taking your place… taking your alphas. You grip the dress within your hand tightly. That was a secret fear that you didn't dare to touch or think about.

“She always played dirty-“ Tigress spoke in a more upbeat tone, bringing you out of your dooming thoughts. “-she would use her magic on us, but I had this reflector bracelet on to make whatever she threw at me bounce back…but you didn’t even use your spells…I suppose that’s one sign you are different…and you don’t have that crazed look in your eyes… and you helped me when I fell in the water…did you know… that I was afraid?”

You shook your head, “No, Dove said you hated the water, but I didn’t know you were scared of it.”

“I can’t believe that girl talks to you.”

“We’ve become best of friends…honestly, I’m surprised she didn’t beat me up too…”

“She’s too sweet for her own good…”

“Much too sweet…”

“Well…I have always been nervous around water but…” Tigress searched your gaze for something, then she licked her lips nervously, “You… or the you that bullied me used to push me in the pool… and laugh…she would just watch me struggle…and wouldn’t let anyone else help me… saying I need to learn to swim…but I always felt you just were a nasty ass bitch that enjoyed others' suffering because of your own miserable life.”

You stared in shock, “Wow… that’s…that’s horrible Tigress…” You had no words to even say to make this better. Where Raven was from you weren’t surprised she was a bitch, you have no idea what she went through with Kenjaku and Mahito. “I don’t remember my life before the omega house… perhaps I was miserable and passed it on to others…without the knowledge of my upbringing I guess that changed me as a person…I wish I could have been this person for you when we first met…”

“That’s…” The omega paused, looking away as her emotions began to itch her throat. “…fucking damn you…”

“Did I say something wrong?”

“No-it just feels like I can’t even hate you because you don’t even remember it... So I’m sorry that you don’t remember…but I do…and now you come here all smiles and this- fucking ray of sunshine? This damn hero? Why couldn’t you just continue being a bitch… It would hurt less if you were…”

You slowly nodded your head, “I’m sorry… I can’t make you feel any better… but I am glad that you have found wonderful alphas that take care of you… you deserve a happy pack…” You give her a genuine smile that only seems to pain her even more.

“Stop that- just stop being so nice…it’s weird.”

“Okay, if it’s too much for me to be here, then I’ll tell my alphas, and we will take our leave from your town as quickly as possible.” You put the lingerie back and bowed politely before walking around Tigress.

“Wait…” She grabbed your arm and slowly picked up the pink dress as she spoke. “…This…would look really cute on you…maybe you can get this… and then you can get out.”

“Oh?” You grin a bit as you pull the dress to your form, “I dunno… do you think pink is my color?” You move to and fro.

Tigress leaned her head as she looked at the color against your skin. “Hmm…it’s cute, but it depends on what you are going for… like this?” She picked up a leather body suit that just screamed dominatrix. “I love this~. Even though it’s in the alpha section, Omegas can be controlling in the nest too.” She grinned.

“Oh, wow…I’m more of the submissive one… but I do have one alpha that loves when I am the dominant one… actually, he cums fast for anything I do…”

“Cums fast? Oh, that was Negi all the way, what you need is a cock ring.”

You hummed as you rubbed your chin, “Hmm…You might be on to something.”

“I know all about the rings, they are my favorite. I plan to punish Miguel for letting you come into my nest…” She paused, looking you up and down, “…no offense.”

“None taken, just imagine I’m Raven’s nice twin sister, you can even call me a different name if you want.”

Tigress seemed a bit surprised by your statement, “Really? You wouldn’t mind if I called you something else?”

“Whatever will make you a little less likely to stab me…and no you can’t call me bitch.”

“Damn, how’d you know?”

“Omega intuition.”

The two of you let out a little laugh as you continued into the shop.

Sukuna was digging through the inventory worm, eyebrows furrowed as he searched for the one item he needed at the moment.

Toji raised a brow, watching the alpha go through the worm over and over again, getting more irritated by the moment. The alpha had come to his room asking to look in the inventory worm for something he needed, but he never specified what it was.

“You good?” Toji questioned.

“Fine.” Sukuna muttered as he stood with an irritated scowl.

“Watcha lookin for?” Toji asked for the third time, but he never got the answer, and he doubted he was gonna get it this time.

“Nothin…” Sukuna stomped out of his room and made his way to Nanami’s room. He knocked on the door, pacing in place as he waited for the blonde to answer.

“Come in Ryoumen.”

Sukuna swiftly entered, without even shutting the door, beelining toward the blonde who was sitting at the desk. “Aye, you see that stupid thing… the fucking thing from that omega?”

“You have to be more specific than that.” Nanami released a little chuckle as he leaned back just enough for Sukuna to see what he was working on.

“The-“ Sukuna paused as he realized the very thing he was looking for was within Nanami’s hands. The damn hair clip. “That! Give that to me, I found a shop that can fix it.”

“No-“ Nanami looked at him with a frown, “I’m fixing it.” With that, the blonde went back to work.

“Don’t worry about it, I got it.” Sukuna went to grab it, but Nanami was swift, moving it out of his reach.

“No, you don’t worry, I’ll fix it.”

But Sukuna was stubborn, trying to grab the clip from him. “Let the professionals take care of it!”

“I can do it better than anyone!”

“Nanami what the fuck give me the stupid thing!”

“I want to fix it for her!”

“Why would you want to do that?!”

“Are you serious?!”

“Oi!” Getou had poked his head in the door as Nanami and Sukuna straightened themselves and acted casually like they weren’t just fighting.

“Ahem… Suguru? What do you need?” Nanami questioned smoothly as Sukuna leaned against his desk with his arms crossed.

“What naughty things are the two of you up to?” Getou wiggled a brow, making Sukuna scoff.

“What do you want Suguru?”

“Meow~ So feisty~. I need your aid, could you come with me to scout the town, I’d like to set up some surveillance for safety measures.”

“Where’s your butt buddy?”

“What do you mean? You are my butt buddy!”

“Don’t play games with me.”

“I don’t know where he is, said something about a boat or whatever. But come along now, our princess would love it if we scout out an attack before it happens.” Getou didn’t give Sukuna much time to discuss anything as he walked away with a wave of his hand.

Sukuna set his glare on Nanami, “Tell her we both fixed it.”

“No.”

“Fuck you.”

Nanami spoke casually as he continued his work. “Go find something for her Sukuna. This is my gift.”

“You know I’m bad at sentimental shit, what do you think I should get her I think she’s getting things for us.”

“You peeked at her, even after she asked you not to?”

“And you didn’t?”

“…Sukuna…” Nanami sighed, resting his wrists upon the desk, “…If I tell you what gift to get, then it would be more from me than you, pick something that you can personally give her. She’d like that much better.”

“…” Sukuna’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, he had no idea what the fuck to get you. Why the hell were you getting him something anyway? It’s not like it’s a special occasion or anything.

“Sukuna! Am I blind, or are you not here?!”  Getou’s voice echoed down the hall.

“I’m coming asshole!” He shouted as he grumbled his way out of Nanami’s room.

“Close my door please-“

SLAM

“-Thank you.”

As selfish as this was, Nanami wanted all of your gratitude for himself.

He snickered as he worked on the clip, cleaning and polishing it so it looked brand new.

~

You smiled softly as you walked toward the inn. Tigress had helped you find the perfect ring for your alpha. You could tell the omega was still uneasy around you, but puppy steps! This was a big leap in your relationship, especially considering the two of you were just pulling each other's hair and clothes.

You felt within time, Tigress would be a good friend of yours and dare you say another omega to mark into your harem.

You giggled to yourself as you walked with a little bounce to your steps. You were happy that Tigress no longer hated you as much… you were happy no attack occurred, and you were happy that you were able to find some gifts for your men.

No, there wasn’t any special occasion, but you needed to spoil them a bit and show them your appreciation…

All in all, you felt good.

With everything that has been going on, it’s been a while since you were able to just be… and not worry about anything.

You were still worried of course, and there was still a ton of shit that was ahead of you on your journey but you wanted to enjoy this peace right now.

You were… content…

“No! I need it bigger and there has to be a table in the middle of it- with candles and lanterns!”

You stopped as you heard Gojo’s voice. Moving toward the water, you walked up a sandy hill to see your alpha talking to a few fishermen whose boats were lined up on the sand.

What was he doing?

Your alpha tossed up his hands, “These boats are too small you guys don’t have anything bigger?”

“We have that…?” One of the men pointed at a huge boat that made Gojo gulp.

“I can’t row that thing! Something a little smaller but big enough for two people- and how is the song coming along?”

Another group began to sing off tune while reading a piece of paper-“ And I’m never gonna dance again… guilty feet-feeet~ ain’t got no rhythm~!”

“STOP STOP YOU GUYS SOUND AWFUL!” Gojo pulled at his white hair. “She’s going to hate this!”

Ah~ you see what’s going on.

“Gojo!” You caught his attention as he squeaked at your sudden appearance.

“Oh-ah- hi baby, how are you~! What- uh what are you doing here?” He tried to play it off with a nervous head scratch.

“Come on, my alpha, stop harassing these hardworking people!”

“I-I wasn’t harassing them!” Gojo gasped in shock as the fishermen all nodded their heads ‘yes’ but shook their heads ‘no’ when Gojo looked toward them.

You giggled at your silly man, “I know what you are doing Gojo… you don’t need to recreate my date with Toji…come on, can you walk me to the inn, please?”

With a little pout, Gojo trudged up the hill to grab your hand, “…I just…wanted to do something nice for you…”

“I know alpha, but I want to have a special memory with you, not a copy of what Toji did…okay?”

“What if you don’t like it?”

“I’m sure I will love whatever you come up with- ah-“ You gasp as his smell hits your nose, “Gojo- oh my Tengen-why do you smell…so fishy?”

“For you!” He smiled as if you were going to love that idea.

“Huh? Did you like… rub yourself with fish?”

“Well, duh! It was to cover the omega’s scent!”

You rolled up your nose in disgust, making Gojo panic.

“What?! Is it worse!?”

“Oh my…sweet…sweet alpha…what am I gonna do with you…”
