Chapter 24
**FINN**
We are perfectly tuned all four of us, we meet most often at Theo's place because he has the most space and we can easily sleep all in his bed. The benefit of being a giant. We marked ourselves on Monday evening and so we finalized the mating process. We manage now to speak to each other by the mindlink and to feel more and more the emotions of Elena and she ours. Caleb still did not have the courage to confess to his father that she was his companion but he promised Elena to help him to find what happened to his parents even if it implies his father.
We are Thursday evening and I spend the evening alone with Elena. I reserved a table in the best restaurant of the city and I intend to take advantage of my mate to the maximum. It is the first time that we are going to find ourselves both. I'm not jealous of Caleb and Theo but it's nice to have her all to myself. After knocking on the door, I rub my hands on my pants. My hands are sweaty and I'm nervous, which is totally new to me.
She opens the door, only a few minutes later and she is stunning. Her red dress puts all her curves in value and her chest is magnificent. She styled her hair in a bun with a few strands sticking out. The three marks that we put down are visible by all and I am proud of it.
"You look beautiful...as always." I tell her before handing her the bouquet I brought her.
She thanks me and invites me in while she puts the bouquet in a vase. She must feel my nervousness because at the moment of crossing the door to leave she pulls me by the shirt to kiss me.
When we arrive at the restaurant, a waiter installs us quickly and we hear the murmurs of the people installed beside.
"Can you believe it...she would be with all three."
"Like she could be with them after what they did to her."
"She's not that pretty."
"I hear she's loaded."
I clear my throat. "You know what you want to get?" I ask her, looking at the menu to change the subject.
"I've been hearing them since I got to town." She answers me. "Honestly I don't care and you shouldn't care either. It took me a while but finally I realized that no matter what we do there will always be someone to have a negative comment."
"We should toast to that."

As we leave the restaurant we are stopped by three young women I know very well. Goddess, seriously? You do this to me the first time I go out alone with my mate.
"Alpha Finn. We haven't seen you in a while." The tall blonde says.
"Yes Stacy, it has. I found my mate so I don't think we'll be seeing each other again." I reply dryly as I take Elena's hand.
"And you are? I don't think we've met." Chrissy asks her with a frown.
"If Chrissy we know each other, Elena Romano."
The three blondes' eyes go wide and the last one starts to burst out laughing. "Is this a fucking joke? Fat Elena and Finn."
"Actually..." Elena starts as she lays my hand and moves closer to her. "It's Fat Elena and Finn AND Theo AND Caleb. And for the record, the four of us are real mates....." She takes a step back and takes my hand again. "Well we have to leave you guys because we're too eager to fuck. Have a good night." She tells them with a big smile.
She pulls me behind her, leaving the three girls completely stunned. Fuck, I don't know if I'll be able to wait until I get to her place before I jump on her.
**ELENA**
Falling on Chrissy, Stacy and Vicky brought back bad memories but seeing the face they made when we left the restaurant was magical. I just told the truth, Finn and I had sex and made love too. I don't know if it was just the two of us but he was gentle and took his time and it was perfect.
That's a side of Finn I didn't know, he's not jealous of Theo and Caleb but he's eager for the moments when we're just the two of us. That's why I agreed without hesitation to invite his parents to the house. He promised me that he would take this opportunity to tell them about my other two mates.
I told him that I would prepare something but he insists on having a barbecue, so I will take care of the rest. I haven't seen his parents since I left the pack but I remember they were close to mine.
When there is a knock on the door, he rushes to open it. He welcomes them by taking them in turn in his arms. His mother hasn't changed, except for her hair which is now short but still black. She approaches me and opens her arms.
"Elena, it's been so long. You look beautiful."
"Thank you Caroline, you look great too."
She hugs me briefly before shifting and letting her husband come in front of me with his cane and I try not to look down at her missing leg.
"You'd think you'd see Moira. Caro is right you are beautiful."
"Thanks Cillian."
We lead the way to the terrace where we will have lunch. We have a nice time and the discussion is mainly about me, my life in New York, my job and my work with the factory.
Once lunch is over, Cillian asks me to walk a little with him in the garden.
"I see you've replanted some flowers."
"Mom loved her flowers but I'm not sure I have a green thumb." I tell him.
"Everyone must be telling you, they are proud of you but your dad must be freaking out if he saw you with three mates." I look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Everyone talks...you of all people should know." He sighs. "We're very happy for you but we're waiting for Finn to fill us in himself." He stops and turns to face me. "I'm sorry...for everything. I should have tried harder to stop all this but Eric... Right after you left Daniel had his accident and I had my infection that cost me my leg." He briefly looks behind him to make sure no one is listening. "I'm glad you came back and I think you came looking for answers too. If you're looking on Eric's side...be careful. You're kind of my daughter now and I wouldn't want anything to happen to you or the boys."
