Chapter 15: Liam P.O.V

"You didn't mark me either..." her sweet and dainty voice trailed off with a deep level of sadness following not long behind, it was killing me that I couldn't give her what she wanted. What her wolf wanted.

"My little mate, If it was up to up you would be covered in our marks but there are rules and traditions for a future Luna before she gets marked by her Alpha or in this case, Alpha's." I smiled, well what a thought was smile when my world felt like it was being torn in two. I was big rule follower and every part of my wolf begged me to object.

"Aurora, I promise we will explain everything when we get you home." Levi whispered against her cheek. It pissed me off to avail the deep connection the two of them seemed to share and I'm almost positive that Lucas feels the same. I watched the way she nodded her head obediently, and listened to his basic wish that we explain everything back home. The three of us jumped into her shower, no wonder she always smelled so fucking sweet and delicious. Every soap in her bathroom was in some form of rose scent.

The shower was ridiculous, bigger than it should be for any one person but here we are. Three large Alpha's and one she-wolf were all standing in the one shower together and none of us were squished or cold. I used one of the other shower head's to clean up, quickly while my brother's Lucas and Levi focused on getting her cleaned up. Today she had experienced a lot of first times and she looked absolutely drained and that was after she had endured a very traumatic abusive session with her father.

"Hey, guys I want to go wait out there for Oliver and Emma while you guys finish up in here. Maybe I can provide as a little bit of distraction?" I smiled, but then I turned to see my mate about to burst into tears. I cupped her beautiful face in my hands, "What is it?" I asked her as confidently as I could while my brother's took in her appearance.

Her bottom lip was quivering while she swallowed a bunch of tears that threatened to send her into a sobbing mess, "I- I don't like it when you're not all here. I feel safe when all three of you are here and you- you just want to leave." She sobbed into my hands. It broke my heart to watch her fall apart because I wanted to give her some time alone with Levi and Lucas.

"I promise, it won't be long. Levi got a little bit angry when we teased him I just wanted to go clean it up, okay?" I whispered sweetly while I focused on her dazzling eyes.

"I'm sorry. It's really hard. I can feel everything all three of you can feel through this entire thing. It's been overwhelming." Aurora admitted, sniffling some tears back.

"I'm sure it is, sweet girl. Taking on the emotions of three people going through the mating process I'm sure it would make anybody emotional, but you've been through something really traumatic too. " I whispered, kissing her lips lightly. I could feel the pain and anxiety sitting on her chest when I finished getting dressed into my clothes and headed out into the living room. It was a disaster.

Levi wasn't kidding when he told us through the mind link that his wolf had temporarily lost his mind when we were playing with his mate without him. I knew that it would be hard for him to control his wolf, it has always been much more difficult for Levi to control his wolf then either my brother or I because of who his wolf was in the past. In one of his past lives, his wolf had taken control over the human side from the loss of his mate and started entire wars for property and land. My brother Lucas and I both had very powerful Alpha wolves, but we didn't crave the bloodlust or the submission of other wolves quite like Levi did, which is why the bond between Aurora and Levi is so baffling.

The second that we found out about her being our mate and future Luna, I had been worried about how she would connect with Levi. We have always been concerned that maybe if the three of us did share a mate, that she would be too scared of Levi or unable to draw on the same bond that she would have shared with Lucas and I. It seems to be the opposite with Aurora, though. Even though she has just been through an abusive situation and has probably spent her life enduring the same kind of punishments, she leans into Levi's darkness and almost seems more comfortable with our darker sides than when we are treating her like the queen that she is. When she is lost within her thoughts, he seems to be the only one to draw her back from whatever darkness she was temporarily consumed by.

I want to figure out who her wolf is and what the connection between her darkness and the darkness that has always consumed my brother. Part of me is convinced that their bond is deeper than two people with similar wounds. On some level I think that they are able to understand each other better because Levi has been a war prisoner and undergone some fo the most horrifying tactics and Aurora might crave his darkness because she has lived through some of teh worst forms of torture I have ever seen. On some level, I think their wolves are drawn to each other, like past flames.

At some point during my deep thoughts, her brother and sister came back with embarrassment written all over their face with boxes of tampons and pads in grocery bags. Of course, my brother sent her family to go on a horrific period. That would explain what would take them so long to come back.

'Thanks man." I bumped fists with my friend and looked at the little girl.

"Your sister will be very happy you got these for her." I smiled down at the little girl, but she just giggled. She waved her hand at me like she wanted to tell me some secret, so I bent down to her level.

She cupped her tiny hands to my ear, "I know you just wanted some time alone with my sister." She admitted before turning into a giggling mess.
