Chapter 81: Troy P.O.V.

Chapter 81: Troy P.O.V.
I felt complete shame and guilt wash over me every twenty seconds while she was working on finding a way to forgive us. I could tell that she was trying her best not to resent us, but I genuinely think If I hadn’t marked her then she would have considered running away and I would have lost her, forever. I would never be a true Alpha and I would never be able to pass down my title and family name if I hadn’t done what I done. Dad would understand when he finally comes home in a few weeks. He lost mom because she never wanted to be a Luna and as a family we never really recovered from her decision. 

She looked beautiful though. I’m not sure what Elaine had done or said to her but everything about her glowed, except her eyes. Her eyes when she wasn’t trying to put on a smile for me, they burned with so much anger and I couldn’t even blame her. I took her from my brother- who forced the vampire bond on her and then I went and did the same exact thing to her.

“Okay, so Sebastian I need you to put a list together of Alpha’s that should be at this mating party and Reynolds, I need you to compile a list of only the best warriors that will be on guard for this thing.” I said, making a plan with my closest friends. I hated parties, especially these types of parties but she is making an effort to be my Luna and mate. 

I would suffer in silence if it means she won’t try to run away and hate me for the rest of her life. Something happened after she woke from the events-after we forced everything on her. At first she was confused but happy waking up in that bed, then everything that happened hit her like a collage of memories on repeat. Anger, betrayal and heart break while she crumbled to the floor. I know she fell onto the floor because I felt her pain. She was in so much pain everywhere- at least everywhere that we had touched her and then the bond buzzed with static.

Was her wolf really rejecting the mate bond because of the trauma or something? Later, I would go through the library and look through what happens to wolves with a forced mate bond because something with my mark didn’t look right or feel right. Which only made me more worried. 

She asked for the three of us to meet wit her though and we were more than happy to comply. I, at least expected the complete opposite but that was the thing about her. She never did what I expected her to do. She looked like perfection in her green dress and it matched the color of her eyes almost perfectly. When she walked past me though, I almost had a heart attack. 

‘What the hell is she wearing?!’ my wolf death growled. He was ready to grab our mate and throw her back inside of her tower as she called it.I smirked and rolled my eyes at him, ‘she’s wearing it for us, calm down.’ I warned. 

‘Damn, she looks so good.’ Sebastian said, practically salivating at the mouth while his eyes focused on every curve of her body. 

‘We have to figure out what the hell that she wants and then figure out a way to compromise with her on what she wants. It’s going to be bad.’ I warned him, because my beta is a strategist. If anybody here could find a way to make peace with a scorned mate I would like to believe that he could do it. I’m biased though and I know it.

She was sitting down showing off her beautiful thighs that I wanted to bury my face in between while she sipped on tea. How can she make something that is so boring look so hot? I gulped and listened to every single one of her demands. I was expecting so much worse.

‘Is this all that she wants?’ reynolds whispered to me in our link. He was just as baffled as I was at the moment. I would play though. If having a party and listening to her wishes to be respected is all that she was going to ask for then I would cave. I would cave so damn hard and give her anything that she asked for right now. 

She looked so freaking excited to be planning this party that I almost forgot the reason that we originally had to come down and meet her for this lunch. As she was walking away and I took the time to enjoy the sweet view of her ass another thought came to me, “Sweetheart. I just forgot. The guard, he will be following you everywhere. Inside and outside of the home unless you happen to be with me.” I smiled.I was hoping at least that would get under her skin a little because they annoy the hell out of me. 

Nothing. 

Not even a deep bothered sigh came out of that completely fuckable mouth. Instead she turned half and looked at the three of us, “Okay, sure. But if this is going to be a long term thing maybe get one with more respect for your mate. Just a suggestion.” She smiled and then continued walking to the back door. 

What in the actual fuck. Now, it pissed me off that I wasn’t going to be able to get under her skin. I wanted her riled up and frustrated. Frustrated people can’t think as straight and I wasn’t thinking straight at all. 

“Troy, calm it. She is trying to be our mate and she isn’t trying to rip our throats out.” Sebastian patted my shoulder. Okay, maybe he is right. She’s trying to plan a ball for me, for us. 

“Your right. I just liked her spunk, the attitude.” I said with a half smile. I didn’t really have a lot of time to think last night about what might happen to her but what if I killed that side of her? I might have a mate but she’ll be neutral at best?
