Chapter 73: Troy P.O.V.

Chapter 73: Troy P.O.V.
Well she certainly knows how to be a princess. Crap that shouldn’t have been my first reaction to what she just said and I shouldn’t be so angry with her for trying to accommodate to the three of us because if she didn’t then we would be sleeping without her for several nights and that sounds awful.

I was pissed though. The only reason that I am even being accepted as the future for the royal pack is because of what happened to the entire royal pack and that includes her. If they find out that not only is she alive but she is also my mate, then it might look extra bad for me and I don’t need that right now. Not with the continued rogue problem, vampire problem and coronation that will be coming up now that I have a mate. 

“Troy are you really upset that I managed to live?” She asked me and it shattered my heart. She did manage to survive and not because she wanted to steal the kingdom from me because she wanted to be loved. She didn’t cave at the first whip or the smallest amount of pain and that makes me so much worse than her kidnapper. 

“Come here.” I whispered, extending my hand to her and she followed. Moving her legs as quickly and elegantly as she could until her hand was in mine, then I pulled her into my lap.

“I’m not upset or even disappointed that you lived through that hell baby. I don't ever want you to think that is even in the realm of possibilities. There is a growing list of problems and your heritage. Who your parents were adds a long list of protocols I have to follow now, that is all I promise.” I whispered in her ear and held her as close to me as possible. 

I hope that what I told her didn’t upset her to much. It was as much of the truth as I could give her without telling her that part of me-the alpha part of me felt annoyed that now I had to call the royal committee and we would have to take a long list of steps towards showing the world who she really is and the respect that she deserved. 

Lilith P.O.V.

It felt like he is disappointed that I managed to stay alive through a kidnapping of over a decade and that hurt me a lot.Did part of him actually wish that I had just died? What did my parents have to do with any of this? We belonged to a small pack that lived in the middle of nowhere.

“Can you tell me what you know about my parents then?” I asked, because now everything has felt different. The feeling that I got from all three of them told me that there is something that they don’t really want to tell me because they are scared, scared of how I might react to the truth. 

“ Okay, Lilith. We will tell you under one condition.” Troy said, turning my cheek just a little bit so that I would look at him. I nodded my head because no matter what I wanted to know the truth. I wanted to know a version of parents that wasn’t just bones because I can’t remember them.

“You show us the sleep room you made while we were gone and we all go straight there no matter what.” Troy said, stating his terms for the truth about my family. I nodded because no matter what I still wanted to fall asleep with the three of them touching me. 

“You, your mom, dad and little brother. Your entire family was kidnapped by a rogue pack. “ Troy said. I heard the words but they sounded so disoriented. He didn’t say my sister though? 

“My sister?” I asked, because maybe that would make more sense than my twin hating me.

“She was the rogue princess and she used your kidnapping to gain favor with her pack.” Sebastian explained. 

My heart beat rapidly against my chest while my memory drew blanks searching for my childhood, “How- How did she convince my parents and I that we were family? That- that pack was ours?” I stuttered, going over my words and messing them up one after another. 

“Witches, dark magic witches. Rogues are notorious for seeking them out when they need help with the vampires.” Reynolds said. All three of them were putting in the informations so robotically like I didn’t just learn my entire life has been a big fat lie. 

“Can I get my real memories back?” i whispered, sniffling. I felt so detached from the situation. It felt like an out of body experience and I was just going through it like a movies. 

“We would have to talk to a witch about it but there isn’t a guarantee.” Sebastian sighed. 

I rubbed my shoulder where an ugly scar has always been, “Do you do that a lot when you are overwhelmed?” Reynolds asked, looking at me with his brows furrowed together and his lips locked into a straight line. I never really thought about it before, I do have a tendency to rub my shoulder- to rub the scar.

“Yeah, I guess I do. I don’t know whenever I need a little bit of courage I guess I rub it. There’s no reason why, I just don’t remember a time when I didn’t have this big ugly mark.” I shrugged my shoulder and tried not to touch it now. 

“She erased your family mark, that’s where it was.” Reynolds said with a particular level of sadness in his voice. My family had their crest in our blood that I had? 

I grimaced and clenched my jaw, just thinking about how much she has taken from me is making me hate her more and more. I don’t think burning alive is enough for her anymore. I wish I had done more to her, tortured her more, enjoyed the moment when I was more than a prisoner just a little bit more. 

“Can I get that back?” I asked. It felt like anything that made me and my family special she took. Were we that bad of a pack to her? 

“Why would she erase my mark? Why would she kidnap my family? Were we apart of a bad pack of something?” I asked, rambling off questions one after another until I finally took a deep breath. 

“Your mother was the finest and fiercest Luna the pack had ever known. She wasn’t just a warrior but she took on every Luna duty like it was made for her and so many Alpha’s envied your father. He was the scariest, until she kidnapped all three of you. Don’t even get me started on you as a pre-teen.” Troy said looking at me with so many different emotions. There was a hurt, fire and longing burning in them. 

“You knew me from before?” I asked, with a bright smile on my face.

“You were both your parents and then some. You had every bit of your father’s anger with your mothers burning passion for revenge.” Sebastian smirked, his eyes got darker while he took in my body. 

My panties got wetter by the second between the way that troy is touching me and the way Sebastian is looking at me. 

“She still has both of those qualities if you focus on her thoughts at the right time.” Sebastian claimed, looking at me with a challenge to deny it. I have wanted her to have a more miserable death and the desire for it took over me sometimes.
