most people expect alphas to lead packs, but if anything, zoey is the “lowest ranking” member of huntrix’s little three person pack. most of the time rumi is the one who leads them, although mira is more dominant in…other areas *wink wink nudge nudge*
it has definitely led to people and especially reporters/interviewers asking zoey questions like “why do you let your omegas boss you around” and “is it not humiliating to you as an alpha to be so submissive to a pair of omegas?” and “how is it that an alpha who managed to get two omegas to mate with her is so weak?”
for a while she’s a little insecure about it, but instead of it making her act more aggressive and machismo to compensate for the ways she’s been made to feel like a failure of an alpha, it makes her hide away from rumi and mira more because she feels unworthy as a mate.
it takes them a while to convince her that she is quite literally the perfect alpha for them, because they absolutely HATE traditional alpha traits and are so happy zoey is nothing like that.
The idea of omegas being territorial and picky about their heats and who gets to spend it with them.
Case in point- Rumi nearly mauling another alpha trying to get close to her after giving him multiple warnings to stop while she’s in pre-heat, but immediately melting and turning into a lovergirl rivaling Mira’s levels when her alphas show up to the studio they’re at.
Zoey and Mira eat it up too- another omega tries to flirt with them while they’re in pre-rut, and Rumi’s all over them before they can politely turn down their advances and Rumi’s (only) glaring at the omega while smugly wrapping herself up in their arms (she’ll always give her fellow omegas more grace- ie she won’t maul them like she does audacious alphas- but don’t push her).
Like they may be polyamorous, but this triangle is CLOSED.
alpha zoey feeling pressured to wear more masculine clothing after mating, because she has to be a True Alpha now for her mates.
it kinda nice, actually, she finds. she likes the freedom of it, likes the way she can expose more of herself without it feeling necessarily sexual or explicit (im thinking her with a long v neck undershirt or something, black slacks that hug her just right, hair tied up in a single bun, makeup minimal; the most masc she’s ever looked. she doesn’t mind it, actually, especially not with how rumi and mira salivate over it.) likes how rumi and mira clearly love how she looks in those outfits.
occasionally, though, she looks over at the feminine clothing on racks in stores they go to, and she feels a yearning in her gut. it feels like sacrilege, almost, to wanna wear stuff like that (she can hear her father calling her all sorts of slurs in the back of her head), but the desire is still there. she denies herself, though, dedicated to being what she Oughta Be now.
later, though, when she’s trying on new clothes in the changing room, mira passes the exact dress zoey was staring at longingly (she didn’t even know mira saw her looking at it) through the door wordlessly.
and when they’re home, later that night, zoey walks into her room to see a box with the exact heels she’d been eying while her and rumi were browsing a shoe store earlier that day.
the night of their next event, zoey puts the dress and shoes on, and feels prettier than she’s ever felt before. it feels good.
(when rumi and mira salivate over her when she walks out like that, the feeling upgrades to great.)
the first time any of them get pregnant, polytrix is EXTREMELY secretive the entire time. like somehow nobody even finds out about their eldest children for the first few years of their life secretive.
but the second time theyre much less secretive. in fact mira (whose pregnant with their fourth child 5 years after the birth of their first three) starts to get excited at the prospect of doing a photoshoot while about 7 months pregnant. while theyve already had a private photoshoot (done by rumi) to boost her self esteem bc she was feeling insecure about her body, it actually made her feel so secure that she decided she wants to show off to the world (not to mention, the private photoshoot wound up being a lot more naked than she had been expecting-not that she was complaining, the nudity was very fun-so shes kinda excited to wear clothes for this one)
and zoey and rumi are
fine with it
totally 🙂
Look, they’re extremely happy their wife isn’t having anymore self esteem issues, but mira is a fucking goddess on most days while shes not pregnant (and theyve learned to “share her” with the world), and shes a different type of goddess while pregnant (which theyve not learned to “share” with the world).
they end up coming along with her to the shoot (which she’s hesitant about considering their…history with coming to her photoshoots, but she’s also been really clingy during the final few months of pregnancy so she was probably gonna be a crying mess if they didn’t come along) and theyre about as well behaved as you would expect. someone puts their hand on mira’s stomach (bc people love doing that to pregnant women for some reason) and zoey almost snaps their wrist. someone compliments how beautiful mira looks while pregnant and rumi spends the entire rest of the shoot plotting how to kill them.
by the mid point mira is looking at them like theyve gone insane, bc theyre glaring at EVERYONE that isnt her, each other, and during his brief visit, bobby. she asks them multiple times what is going on with them but theyre like “huh? nothing what?” bc genuinely see no problem with their behavior. theyre just protecting their pregnant wife from anyone who would hurt her, obviously.
mira: hurt me? why the fuck would any of them hurt me?
zoey: idk they seem to stare at you a lot
mira, knowing damn well thats not whats really wrong: i thought it was cuz i looked good. do you guys not think i look good? 🥺
rumi: OKAY FINE WE CONFESS WE’RE NOT BEING OVERPROTECTIVE WE’RE BEING JEALOUS BC WE DONT LIKE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SEEING YOU LOOK SO GOOD CARRYING OUR CHILD
mira: I KNEW IT. JUST SAY THAT THEN IDIOTS
zoey: we thought youd be mad at us 🥺
mira: ??? WE’RE ALL FREAKS ABOUT EACH OTHER! WEVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR OVER A DECADE AND HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR ALMOST AS LONG! THIS ISNT NEWS!
(and then, unlike the last time they were on set for one of her solo photoshoots, they both have a turn eating her out bc shes also really horny during this stage of pregnancy)
anyways after that mira doesn’t really let people touch her much for the rest of the photoshoot and they’re a lot better behaved (theyre less hangry now so jealousy level has gone down a bit 😏).
when the shoot comes out the photos immediately are framed in their house and they admire them every day
zoey, staring adoringly at the pictures: damn. kinda makes me wish we’d had one while you were both pregnant so we could have shots of you looking like this, ru. 🫤😔
rumi: hm, guess ill just have to get pregnant again, then 🤷♀️😏
zoey:…oh! 😳
(it goes even worse in the omegaverse version of events. rumi is growling at EVERYONE who stares at mira for too long, except for zoey of course, and snaps at everyone else who gets too close to her. zoey genuinely DOES break someone’s wrist when they put their hand on her stomach, which shocks everyone. theyre overall way more openly and violently overprotective than they are jealous
the thing is, while they are on worse behavior in this universe, nobody holds it against them for being so. they consider it perfectly natural for miras mates to be protective during her pregnancy, and while zoey breaking someones wrist was shocking, they’re moreso shocked bc they’re not expecting zoey, who doesn’t really exhibit typical alpha behavior, to act like that, and not bc she actually did it in the first place. in fact people hear about it and are like “reasonable reaction tbh”)
shortly after they all become mates (yes this is an omegaverse au), mira starts accompanying zoey to some doctors appointments. rumi is curious as to why she’s bringing her along for a while but is too shy to ask, what with their relationship still being relatively new, and just figures that it’s because zoey and mira were closer before they all got together so she’s more comfortable with her. despite how admittedly upset that makes her feel, she doesnt wanna make a mess of things by prying if zoey’s not comfortable with her.
she does try to investigate a bit, see if she can guess why and what appointments theyre going to together, to no avail. she does notice they smell very good after getting back from those appointments, though.
but eventually she caves and asks about it.
zoey turns bright red, while mira starts cackling.
through the small gap between her hands, which are covering her face, zoey admits that ages ago, when the three of them were in that weird grey area of not Being Together but also being actively aware of each other’s feelings, on a night where rumi was feeling especially nervous about the idea of her patterns being revealed and hid in her room, zoey admitted to mira after getting a little tipsy with her that she sometimes gets too nervous at the doctors to Do It properly.
“do what properly?” rumi asks, bewildered.
zoey tries to mumble out her answer a few times, but mira throws her head back and says “oh my GOD, zo. she’s your fucking mate, she’s not gonna be grossed out or make fun of you, the same way i, your other mate, wasn’t grossed out and didn’t make fun of you.”
“you did make fun of me,” zoey retorts.
“only a little! and i stopped when i saw how embarrassed you were by it!”
“can you guys just tell me what it is already?” rumi asks.
and then, finally, zoey admits that she cant get it up when she needs to provide a sperm sample for the doctor, and before they were mates, mira would just give her an item of hers (usually a pair of panties) to sniff to help. now that they are mates, though, mira realized they can just cut out the middle man and she can just help zoey herself. plus she really wanted to watch zoey touching herself.
“all of those doctors appointments needed you to give a sperm sample?”
zoey doesnt answer. mira does. “no. but you know, doesnt hurt to help her give one.”
“so…you’ve been going along to, what, cheer zoey on while she jacks off?” rumi asks, face bright red and patterns bright pink.
mira laughs. “no, ru. ive been going along so that I can jack zoey off.”
at first she only watched, she explains, but then she started helping after a while.
“after all, she kept waving that thing in my face. was i supposed to just not touch it?”
a sentiment that rumi can very much get behind.
zoey rolls her eyes. “the only reason it was in your face was because YOU got down on your knees in front of me! and besides, i-“
“can i come? along, that is.” rumi asks.
zoey somehow turns even more red. mira gets a wicked glint in her eye.
it takes a second for her to answer, but eventually, zoey says, “sure.”
they dont really talk about it after that for a while. mira seems a little more smug, and zoey seems a little more flustered.
and then the time for zoey’s next doctor’s appointment comes, and rumi goes with them, and whaddya know, it actually IS one where zoey needs to give a sperm sample.
when the nurse hands zoey the cup, she looks like she might just swallow it whole.
rumi and mira sneak into the bathroom where zoey is…making her deposit. rumi elects to hold zoey from behind and kiss her ear while mira starts to jack zoey off.
and then mira shows off why zoey was really reluctant to have rumi there, too.
as it turns out, mira will get zoey to the point where she’s just about to come, but instead of pointing her cock into the cup, she’ll start sucking her cock so that she ends up swallowing the cum, or she’ll get it on her face, or she’ll get it on zoey’s clothes, so she needs to get another sample, and she keeps doing this for several rounds until zoey is squirming and begging mira to just “point into the cup already, please”, and mira finally acquiesces. zoey was a little nervous that rumi would see mira torturing her like that and start torturing her as well.
well…
the next time zoey has to go to the doctor and give a sperm sample, mira can’t come, so it’s just rumi that comes along.
when they get into the bathroom, rumi sinks to her knees in front of zoey, and tells her, “don’t worry, zo, i won’t torture you like mira does.”
and as zoey lets out a sigh of relief, rumi takes zoey’s cock out, gives it a good long lick, and then stands back up, before grabbing her cock firmly. “i’ll torture you in my own way,” she continues, smirking.
zoeys eyes widen, and then rumi pulls her own pants and underwear down, pushes her onto the (closed) toilet seat, and mounts her. she edges her so many times zoey is crying by the time she finally comes, and even then, she comes inside rumi, so she still doesnt have a viable sample.
when rumi chuckles and whispers into her ear, “guess we’ll just have to try again,” zoey shudders and almost comes again right away, still inside of her.
(needless to say, it’s not until the nurse tries to come in to check on zoey that they actually end up getting a viable sample)
