Introduction

They're supposed to be forbidden. At least, it’s what I keep telling myself whenever I see them. And when my once close friends of 19yrs begin to drift away, I’m suddenly left standing alone, even as they move into their new roles within the pack.

My role being null and void, even with me being born the son of a Gamma.

Always being told I’m useless as the pack treats me with zero respect.

“Worthless Runt”

“Freak”

“Pathetic”

Only a few choice words that my pack likes to use against me whenever they see me. And when becoming bruised and battered seems to be a new found favorite I take a risk and try to flee only to be stopped by them. My future Alpha, Beta and Delta.

“Where are you going?”

“Out”

“Uh huh sure, and you're taking this with you?”

Snatching my bag, they move to look at me with a knowing stare, a stare filled with longing, pain and purpose.

“Give that back”

“I think not little mate, your ours, now and forever and were not letting go”

Crap. I think things just got a whole lot more complicated than it needed to be.

Chapter 1

Trigger Warnings: Hello and Welcome to the story Scentless Bonds. In this book there will be mentions of Bullying (Verbal and NonVerbal) as well as Romance so R18+ is much advised but if you still venture forward you were at least warned. This is also a Reverse Harem book and it’s my first ever Male/Male story as well. There might also be hints of BDSM, Abuse, Rape, Torture and things along those general lines as well, so please be aware that when reading future chapters as I most likely won’t indicate what chapters have what inside of them so just a heads up. But without further ado, let's jump right into the story.

Third Person POV

“Okay Mama, PUSH” orders the voice of a Doctor, a Doctor who was currently standing at the receiving end of a woman who was currently in labor with her first pup. The woman is crying and screaming as pain radiates alongside her body. A storm currently raging outside as the woman continues to give birth.

“Come on honey. One more solid push. He’s almost here” replies a male's voice as he continues to help support his wife and mate. Their Alpha, Luna, Beta and Delta are all currently waiting for them out in the lobby for the news of the newborn Gamma who was set to arrive any minute.

“Oh Moon. Austin… I-I can’t do this” cries the woman, her body exhausted from the intense labor of the newborn pup still inside of her.

“Yes you can Layla. Our son needs you. Come on, one more push and then he’ll be out” urges Austin to his mate, Layla, knowing she wanted to give up but couldn’t for the sake of their son.

“He’s right though, one more good solid push should do it.”

Nodding weakly at the Doctor, Layla moves to push on the next big contraction. Her body pushing with everything she had when suddenly the sound of screaming could be heard. The sound of an infant as it continued to rain and pour just outside the main Hospital.

“Congratulations Gamma. A perfectly healthy baby boy.” smiles the Doctor as he moves to hand him over to a nurse to get cleaned up before giving him back over to his mother.

Collapsing against the bed due to her lack of strength does Layla wait patiently for her child. A nurse now moving to hand the baby over to her once cleaned. The bond of mother and child almost instant as Austin moves to smile lovingly at his mate and son.

‘Ours’ whispers Austin's wolf, Kear, a purr rising from deep within them as they share this moment.

‘Yes Kear, Ours’ whispers Austin back to his wolf who's still purring happily.

Watching the scene unfold silently before them does the Doctor move to speak up yet again, “Congratulations once mora Layla, you did wonderful. Now then, did you two have a name picked out for him so I might be able to register him with the Pack records?”

“Tori. Tori Hall. Future Gamma of Ambersky Pack” whispers Layla in awe of her tiny bundle of joy that lay within her arms.

“Pardon? Did you say Gamma? That’s impossible. Your child currently has no scent. He completely smells human. No way will he be able to become the next Gamma of this pack” remarks the Doctor, shocked by what he was hearing.

“WHAT! That’s impossible! He’s our son. We’ve been trying for him for nearly 6 years now. How does his rank, his birthright, relate to him having or not having a scent? He’s our son” cries Layla now offended by what the Doctor had said to her.

“I’m sorry Gamma. I didn't mean to speak out of tone. I’ll be sure to note it all within the pack records” stammers the Doctor once he moves to leave the room followed by his nurses, leaving Austin and Layla to their tiny new addition.

“Oh Austin. What shall we do? If our son is what the Doctor says is true and he is indeed scentless then he’ll be picked on as he gets older. No other wolf will want him nor will he be able to find his mate when he becomes of age. We need answers now” cries Layla, Keena her wolf whimpering in pain for her pup.

“I know dear. I know. I’ll talk to Alpha Dawson, see if he can help us sort this all out” suggests Austin just as another voice moves to speak up, drawing the attention of the two as it did.

“Ask me what?” comes the voice of Alpha Dawson or Chase as he moves to stand within the room.

The Alpha now entering the room alongside his son Jake along with his Luna and Mate Alyssa as well as his Beta, Beta Nathaniel and Delta, Delta Leo both bringing their children, Zak and Alex as well.

“Alpha” replies Austin, tilting his head in respect to his packs Alpha and leader of Ambersky.

“Ask me what Austin? You know you can ask me anything” replies Alpha Dawson.

Clearing his throat does Austin move to speak up.

“My wife and I need your help Alpha. According to the Doctor, our son smells scentless. Almost human. And while I’m inclined to believe him based on facts and lack of smell, I know Tori is ours. We’ve been trying for 6 long years only to be blessed by the Moon Goddess now.”

“Hmm, that does sound problematic if you ask me. But I shall seek out Council with the Elders. I will see if they know anything about wolves and not having a scent. See if there's any recorded history that might be able to help us better to understand what’s going on with little Tori. But for now, you and Layla should rest. Your family has gone through much.” admits Alpha Dawson to his Gamma and friend.

“Thank you” whispers Austin just as Jake, Zak and Alex each move to approach Tori by the bed.

“What’s his name?” asks Zak, curious blue eyes now on Tori who was sleeping soundly.

“His name is Tori. He’ll be Jake's new Gamma someday just like you’ll become the new Beta and Alex the new Delta.” smiles Austin as he moves to show the children his son.

“He’s tiny. And smells funny too” offers Alex, his green eyes watching the tiny bundle with curious eyes.

“He does. But hopefully that’ll change as he gets older.”

Nodding, the three young wolves each continue to watch over Tori even as he continues to sleep soundly. A smile on each of their faces, a piece of them knowing that whatever the Moon Goddess had planned for them would surely involve Jake, Zak, Alex and Tori.

“Okay my son. Time for us to go” calls Alpha Dawson, having been there for a while now and decided it was now time for them to leave in order for Tori and Layla to rest.

“Aww… But I don’t want to. I want to stay here with Tori” whines Jake, his one blue, one green eye now looking at his father almost pleadingly.

“Don’t worry Jake. You can see Tori again soon okay” offers Layla having seen the way the young Alpha acted around her son.

“Promise?”

“I promise”

Smiling happily does Jake, Zak and Alex both move to head back towards their fathers but not before surprising everyone within the room by placing a sweet gentle kiss upon Tori’s little head almost as if promising Tori that they would come back before finally leaving Austin and his family within the room to rest.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.

"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
