Chapter 78: Troy P.O.V.
Chapter 78: Troy P.O.V.
I was pacing inside the room with my Beta and Gamma when I got to hear from Elaine. We had been feeling guilty all morning unable to eat after what we had done to her, “ She’s never going to forgive us.” I whispered to myself for the hundredth time while I paced in the large room again and tried to think of a way for her to forgive us.
“We shouldn’t have done it.” Sebastian slammed his fists on the table, splitting the desk in two before he got up and threw his chair. We had to do it, that’s what I have been telling myself since the moment that we all came ot the decision of what we had to do.
“She wanted us to die.” Reynolds whispered, sitting on the couch across the room and rethinking every single decision like Sebastian and I both were.
I paused for a moment and listened to what Elaine had demanded on Lilith’s orders. The pain and weight that has been weighing me down for so long finally lifted and I could breathe just for a second, “She wants to meet with us in two hours.” I whispered, barely believing the ords that were coming out of my mouth.
“We have to go get ready now!” I shouted, putting the papers away in my desk and looking at my Gamma and Beta.
“Lilith wants to meet with us.” I said with a little more hope than I probably should have. She probably wants to negotiate terms with being mated to us or beg that we reject her.
“Shit, we need to go get ready now!” reynolds shouted, running out of the room as fast as he could. Sebastian didn’t move an inch though because no matter how much he wanted to do the same he would still follow whatever I needed to make her happy.
“Let’s get the cooks to make a big breakfast with fruit in the yard. She seems to prefer the yard.” I said, before leaving the room and getting ready to meet with our mate in the yard.
Sebastian has always been the best at his Beta duties because he can get ready for the three of us to meet up with our mate while also getting my orders completed in seconds. I could tell him that I want her to have the most spectacular ball tomorrow and he would be able to have the servants getting it put together while taking a shower at the same time. Reynolds has always been a great gamma for the opposite reason though, he has been so good at benign a soldier because he does require seeing his enemy if thats in his mind or standing in front of him.
I went to my room and picked out a green button up short sleeve shirt with black pants and went to the bathroom. Hopefully that she would be mesmerized by my eyes and how nice that I looked that she would call off any of her demands to be separate. I took a nice long shower and style my hair before throwing on some gold watch and some black shoes.
When I met up with both my Beta and Gamma they looked like they had a very similar idea because Reynolds is wearing his nicest black button up shirt and Sebastian is wearing an extra tight white button up shirt as well, both of them matched me with black pants and shoes.
“What do you think that she will choose to wear?” Reynolds asked, a little more curious. Why didn’t I think about that? If we are using our looks and how we make her feel about us, why wouldn’t she do the exact same?
“She could very easily tip the scales with how naturally beautiful that she already is..” I groaned.
“Let’s just go check out the kitchen and make any necessary changes.” I ordered, walking towards the kitchen as fast as possible.
“Okay, so I did make one small change to what you asked for her to have in the yard.” Sebastian said, a little bit unsure about how I might react to whatever he did.
“Tell me.” I turned and looked at him.
“It’s for her. She still ahsn’t developed her appetite to the fullest so I had the chefs prepare a bunch of different smoothie options since she does better with things being in liquid form.” He said, boldly.
Part of me felt like I wasn’t even running my pack half of the time because he makes changes without consulting me half the time but this change was a good one that I would have never even thought about. Did that make me a bad Alpha? It definitely made me a bad mate and I’m not sure that is entirely fixable after what we did to her.
I patted his shoulder, “Good call.” I said putting on my best fake smile but no matter what I spend most fo my time with these idiots and they know me better than literally anyone. I walked towards the yard and waited for the three servants to leave, “I only have one thing to tell both of you. I will not allow her to believe there is ever a chance that we will be letting her go. I will not compromise this pack because of her. Understand?” I said, looking at both of my best friends.
The look on both of their faces made me wish that we never had to share her though because they looked at me with disgust. Part of me thinks that they should be looking at me like that because I rather sacrifice a relationship with her than losing my status as an Alpha. This is all I know how to do though, this is all I raised for and it’s in my blood to do it.
“Yeah, I understand.” Sebastian sighed, and looked at the flowers in the distance and then I looked at Reynolds. He might be a warrior first but he would be the one to give into whatever she needs because of the way that his mom was treated by his dad until his death.
“I know, Troy.” he snarled, looking at me.
I don’t know what the hell we were expecting when she finally came down with the guards we had sent up to her room but she looked even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Her skin didn’t look gray and dull anymore instead it glowed and looked more golden, her eyes radiated with hope while she looked at the three of us with a smile.
“Maybe she has amnesia?” Reynolds questioned and part of me was starting to wonder as well.
She walked towards us wearing a short red dress that hugged her much more curved assets with a sweetheart neckline and a small slit on her thigh, “You look amazing.” I said, swallowing some growing fear that I would definitely give her anything that she wanted today. Her hair was styled in some waves and a red lipstick on her lips.
“Well thank you, honey.” She smiled, kissing me on the cheek.
“Honey?” I asked, confused about whatever game that she was playing. She didn’t say anything though. She just moved on and kissed Sebastian on the cheek as well, “I missed you bunny” She teased, holding his hand for a second and finally she kissed Reynolds on the cheek as well, “Don’t worry handsome.” She cooed and then went over to wear the chairs were now at.
“Do I have to pull my own chair out or will someone here help me?” She sighed. The three of us raced over to help her with the chair, it ended us being Sebastian that got to her chair the fastest and scooted her in.
