Chapter 43: Aurora P.O.V
It still seems crazy to wrap my head around the truth. The truth is that somehow I have spent my entire life hearing the terrifying and sometimes cutt-throat stories about my Alpha's. Alpha's I had every intention of running away from after I turned eighteen and could leave the pack with my sister, the Alpha's that are my mates. I had always heard the magical stories of girls meeting their mates and it sounded like a cinderella story coming true without the glass slipper and terrible sisters.
I was being tortured and abused this morning because my sweet innocent little sister hadn't been able to carry an entire pitcher of juice over the elaborate table my parent's laid out. I was pretty sure that I would be dead by this time but instead the only people that are dead would be my parents laying on the floor of my house. Now I am being asked about what type of food I woudl like to eat by my mates and my siblings are on their way over here to the mansion where it's safe.
When they guided me into the dining room it looked beautiful. There was a grey-white wood table with five chairs and flowers decorating the surfaces around the room and a light fire burning. They have the lights in the room dimmed and the curtains closed, making a really warm and romantic feel to the dining room when the servant's kept fixing the room up. I felt a little guilty because now all of these people were scatterign around and probably panicking because of the deicison I made to not go to a resturant. Lucas had put me in his lap after I got sad at the idea of not being close to all three of my mates and then the hard questions were starting to be asked. I had no clue what I would want to eat, I haven't had a full course meal in years and that was primarily because I know how important it is that my little sister had a full meal.
Levi squeezed my leg once I admitted how badly I really wnated some sort of pasta. For the 'brutal and monstrous' Alpha nobody has ever been sweeter to me in my entire life. It makes me think that whatever stories agve him that title were mostly well earned, after all what could make an Alpha lose his mind and force hsi wolf to take over completely, for months? The only answer that I have been able to come up with is war, his enemies had to do somethign so bad that it provoked hsi wolf and scared his human counterpart.
The four of us sat at the table and snacked on appetizer's that the servants had brought out, "I have a question Levi?" I asked, trying to turn my head in hsi direction. He turned his body and squeezed my thigh, "Anything for my luna." He smirked, when I choked on my water. Lucas rubbed my back and glared at Levi, I didn't have to see it to feel the tension while he muttered sweet calm words about me taking my time.
"I was wondering if I could ask for a specific servant?" I cocked my head to the side while my face heated up. I didn't want to steal a servant from their mom but I really liked penelope. The boys each looked at each other before they secretly communicated through their mind link, sometimes that really drove me crazy, "Well normally, I would say that the Beta's mate or sister would serve you but youre whore of a brother hasn't found his mate yet and you're his sister, so who did you have in mind?" Liam said, curious that I already had a favorite in the castle. I smiled, "I met her in you're moms room, her name is Penelope and I think she was close to my age." I smiled, trying to think if I learned anythign more about her.
"I don't want to steal her from anybody but I would like to have her help me get ready sometimes if your mom doesn't mind sharing her..." I smiled, trailing off the sentence. I didn't want the boys to feel like they had to choose between making me happy or making their own mother happy. Liam let out a sigh, "Yeah, Penelope is rather new. I think we could have her sent to help you get ready in the morning but you'll need a few other people as part of your staff. We can have mom help you get situated with that." Liam sugggested and I nodded. They all let out another deep sigh like they thought I would disagree with having their mom help me with some of the duties that comes with being their mate.
"Can you explain why you didn't want to mark me, now?" I whispered, it felt like a whisper. Maybe because it felt so insulting that my own mates didn't want me to wear their mark.Lucas growled and squeezed my waist, "We do want to mark you!" Lucas roared, I rubbbed his arm. Leaning into his body, "Lucas, it's okay. I'm right here. I know you'll mark me when you can but what is holding you back." I cooed, trying to be calming while still getting the answers that I have much needed to hear.
Liam clenched his jaw and took some slow deep breathes, "Lovely, you have to stop asking like that it drives our wolves mad. We want to you marked and mated to all three of us but there is a few ceremonies that we have to go through before that can happen. The council would be really upset with us if we didn't listen." Liam said diplomatically, so he's the one that definitely does all the talking but my wofl didn't care. She heard a load of bullshit sprinkled with the pretty words.
"Liam, you're Alpha's. I might not be the finiest in diplomacy but the council is there to give you opinions. As far as I remember their word isn't law, yours is so try again giving me a reason." I said giving the bitchiest smile I could muster.
Lucas chuckled and smelled my hair, "I like the way our little luna thinks." He cooed, running his hands over my body. Levi chuckled, "She does have a rather refreshing way of looking at the council, after all they were just trying to mate us off to all of their grand-daughters." Levi smirked and my wolf roared.
"What the hell did you just say?" I growled. So they were willing to let the council seperate us?
"You did it now, Levi." Liam frowned.
"It's not like that.." Liam tried to give some very reaosnable explanation that I would not be having.
I got out of my hold from Lucas and grabbed his hand, "Come with hme, now." I ordered, glaring at Liam. He huffed, and turned in his chair, "We are going to deeply regret this later on." He muttered to himself. I rolled my eyes, "You didn't regret cumming in my mouth did you?" I shouted, dragging Lucas with me up the stairs to his bedroom.
"Where are we going, little luna?" Lucas smirked, picking me up in his arms and carrying me up the stairs. I smiled and blushed, "Take me to your room." I whispered in his ear, licking his ear and biting it. He shivered and used his alpha speed to get up to his room faster. What a little cheat.
"Now what do you want, mate?" he asked, his breathing was more shallow and short when he dropped me on the edge of his bed.
"Mark me, now." I ordered, looking up at me.
"Say less." he smirked, unbuttoning his shirt and kicking off his shoes. I blushed, and shimmied out of my tight dress. I was in a pair of matching see-through blue lingerie when he finally looked back at me. He licked his lips while he took in the view, "Goddess, save me." he muttered, his hands landing on my hip when he picked me up and my leg's wrapped around his waist.
