“She’ll be fine, Jax.” I told him as I grabbed his shoulders and shook him, “Mother will calm things down and bring her back. She just needs some time.”
Jax growled and shoved me away, “We should go get her ourselves.” He told me nervously, “What if she tries to reject us? You didn’t hear how nervous she was when she found out we were royalty, and we shouldn’t risk her leaving us!”
“Relax.” I said confidently as we headed up the staircase and passed several Lycans heading towards the ballroom, “We’re not that pathetic Alpha pup. Neither of us would accept her rejection even if she does try to reject us.”
“Can you for once take something seriously?” Jax snapped at me, “We’re talking about our mate, not some random bitch. We can’t risk losing her by sitting on our arses. We need to speak with her ourselves and make her understand how much we want her!”
How dare he think I’m not taking this situation seriously?
I growled and turned to my brother and shoved him, but he growled and shoved me back and a servant boy quickly rushed away.
“I am taking this seriously.” I snarled as my eyes darkened. Niks was furious too. “But she’s overwhelmed and needs space. It’s pretty damn obvious by her demeanor and everything she mentioned tonight, that she’s been abused and neglected by that family and Alphas especially, so being mated to two Alphas and not just Alphas, but princes must be hard for her to come to terms with, is going to her now won’t help, we’ll just scare her more, just trust mother, she’ll bring Maddie back and in the meantime, we will get things ready for her, okay?!”
Jax exhaled, “Fine!” He said and began walking again, “What exactly are we getting ready?”
I smirked and rushed after my brother, all the anger gone from both of us.
“The room of course,” I answered, “I designed it to go from two bedrooms to one.”
“Oh right.” Jax rolled his eyes, “Your stupid obsession, you’re an alpha, not an interior designer.”
Our suite in the pack house consisted of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, our large home office, a massive kitchen and dining and sitting room, a games room that we hardly got to use as we were so busy, along with a huge balcony wrapped around three sides.
Jax and I shared a huge bathroom that led off each of our bedrooms, but I’d designed the divider wall between our rooms to be taken down easily to make one massive bedroom.
We’d always suspected we’d share a mate, and we decided years ago that we wanted to share a room once we had her.
The idea of her sleeping in my bed one night and then Jax’s bed the next night, didn’t sit well with either of us. We didn’t want to only have her every second night so we’d just share a bed and bedroom like we did when we were younger.
I’d already organized a large bed that could fit all of us comfortably. Jax and I weren’t exactly small and needed the room, but it would need to be taken out of storage.
“I am allowed to have a hobby,” I shrugged. “And at least my hobby is useful, unlike your paintings.”
“Shut up!”
I laughed and shook my brother’s shoulders again, I couldn’t believe how light I felt.
“Get off!” Jax shoved me away.
“I can’t believe we finally have her!” I said happily as we turned down another corridor filled with paintings and several plants, “Why aren’t you more excited? Don’t you dare tell me that you want her?”
“Of course I want her!” He said quickly and punched my arm, “She’s gorgeous and that body, I can’t wait until mother brings her back so we can mark and mate her, but what if she really doesn’t want us?”
“Stop it!” I rolled my eyes, “She will want us. She’s just had a hell of a shock. I mean, she didn’t even know she was a Lycan for goddess’s sake. It’s been a lot for her.”
“That f*cking Alpha of hers is a piece of sh*t!” Jax snarled, and his hands became fists, “Lying to her, making her a servant, not even allowing her to f*cking shift!”
I growled when I remembered those dam shackles on her wrists.
‘I want Troy dead!’ Jax linked me, and he must have been thinking the same thing I was.
‘Me too.’ I agreed, ‘Especially if he’s going to try and force us to give Maddie up.’
‘I don’t care what the elders say,’ My brother said firmly, ‘She is ours.’
‘We’ll have to talk to father tomorrow in the morning meeting,’ I told him. ‘We’ll need his backing if the elders side with Troy and definitely if we plan to attack his pack.’
‘And if he won’t attack the pack?’
‘Then we’ll wait until we take the throne.’
For the rest of our walk home, we talked about our game plan for the attack, but when I noticed Julia waiting outside the front doors to our suite with two other maids and our usual two guards, I forgot all about Troy and his bastard son.
“Julia, good!” I clapped my hands, “We have a lot of work to get done and only a small time to do it in, you, what’s your name?”
I pointed to a small Beta with short brown hair and green eyes who looked a little nervous to be in our presence.
“Sarah, your majesty.” She said shyly and bowed.
“Go speak with Mark in the storage area. I’ve already linked him, so he should have everything ready. Help them bring up our bed and other furniture and all the linen and be quick, I want it here within the hour.”
“Yes, your majesty.” She bowed again and rushed off.
“You’re bringing up the bed, Alpha?” Julia said excitedly, “Does that mean you’ve met our Luna?”
“Yes,” Jax answered with a smile before turning to the guards. “She will be along with our mother soon. Let her in immediately.”
“Yes, Alpha.” They responded and pushed open the double doors.
“Ok, Julia and-” I hesitated and looked at the blonde boy standing with her
“Nathen, your majesty.” He told me.
“Nathen,” I acknowledged, “Follow me.”
The four of us headed through the suite towards the bedrooms. We entered through my door.
“Nathen, help me move my old bed and dressers to the side of the room. You can move them to the storage area when Mark brings up the new bed.” I ordered and turned to Jax, “Help Julia move your bed.”
“Yes, Alpha.” He snapped and punched my arm again, but I waved him off and moved over to my bed while Jax headed back to his bedroom.
Once the bed was out of the way, I moved over to the wall and unhooked the latches on my side.
“Nathen, go to my closest and start moving all of my clothes to Jax’s walk in.”
“Yes, your majesty.”
‘Jax,’ I linked him, ‘Unhook the latches on your side of the wall.’
‘Already done.’
‘Oh, great.’
I pulled the lever and the wall began to fold up, opening up the space.
“Julia, roll up that rug.” I pointed to the rug that had been under Jax’s bed. It was brown and hideous, and I wasn’t having our mate subjected to my brother’s terrible taste, “And throw it out.”
“Or just put it in the storage area.” Jax commented.
