I woke up in a daze. I felt the body heat of my mates on the bed with me. I could hear their deep breaths telling me they were still sleeping. I opened my eyes slowly to take in the scene in front of me. In my arms later a sleeping Riley and in her other side was Elias. They looked so at peace that I didn't want to wake them. However I desperately had to relieve my bladder. I carefully retracted my arms from Riley's waist and began to stand from the bed. Riley stirred slightly but remained sleeping. I cautiously tiptoed to the bathroom.

By the time I got there I felt like my bladder was going to explode. I shut the door and ran to the toilet. The tile floors were freezing against my bare feet but I barely noticed it. As soon as I sat down I felt instant relief. I sighed in contentment. *This is what a morning should feel like.*

'I agree' Raina was practically jumping with excitement.

*Good morning to you too Raina.* I greeted her.

'Now that you've done your business go back to bed. It was so warm.' I quickly wiped and stood up. I looked in the mirror and frowned. My makeup from last night was smeared across my face. The mascara and eyeliner I was wearing creating false bags under my eyes. I quickly grabbed my face wash from the cabinet mirror and began to scrub. I made the executive decision that since I was up I should brush my hair and teeth.

Once I was done I pulled out two fresh toothbrushes and left them on the counter for Elias and Riley. I carefully walked out of the bathroom and quietly climbed back into bed. I snuggled back up to Riley. Elias stirred as I payed my head back in the pillow. He rolled from his position in Riley's arms and looked over at us. When he saw I was awake he smiled. I smiled back at him and began to stand as he did. We silently walked to the bathroom and closed the door careful not to wake Riley.

I walked further in to the large en-suite and sat on the edge of the tub. He turned to look at me and I pointed to the toothbrushes I laid out on the bathroom sink. He grabbed the purple one and brushed his teeth. When he was done he walked over and sat next to me on the tub. We sat there in comfortable silence before Riley joined us. Elias pointed over to the sink that held the extra toothbrushes and she grabbed the blue one from the counter.

After she was done she came and leaned on the wall near us

After she was done she came and leaned on the wall near us. I looked to her and smiled. I was the first to brake the silence. "We have a lot to talk about. I don't really know where to start. Ummm. We should move to somewhere more comfortable." With that I stood up and grabbed one of each of their hands. I led them to the bed we shared last night. We all sat down.

I looked to Riley first who seemed to be contemplating something in her head

I looked to Riley first who seemed to be contemplating something in her head. Elias seemed just as deep in thought. Riley looked up to me and smiled. "I want to know more about you. I want to know who you are. I want to know what you stand for. I want to know you." I looked to her then. She had such a gorgeous face. I couldn't help but smile at her.

"Well I'm 17, I've protected my twin Alexis since we were 11. I love vanilla and citrus and long runs in the woods throughout the territory. My favorite color is teal and I have 2 dogs. A black lab named Jasmine and a husky named lavender. I can take you to meet them if you like. But I still want to talk to you about last night. I know it was a lot to take in and it's going to take some time for us to get to know each other but I want you to know that I do want you. I'm not really good at showing my true self and letting my emotions be known to others. I want to try though. I want to show you the real me." I sucked in a deep breath and waited for their response. Elias looked up to me.

"Alicia, I would love to get to know you. We both would. I want you to know with all sincerity that we care deeply about your feelings and you never have to hide who you really are from us. We want to know each and every part of you inside and out." Elias leaned close to me. He touched my face, "We will spend every day opening up to you and allowing you to see every part of us. We only ask you do the same." I felt a tear escape my eye. Before I had a chance to wipe it Riley reached up from her spot on the bed and wiped it for me. She then leaned forward and gently brushed her lips against mine. I closed my eyes and leaned into her embrace. I felt her pull back and I opened my eyes. Elias then did the same. His kiss was much rougher. Then Riley leaned in and the three of us shared a passionate kiss. I was the first to pull back for air. When I looked back up they were both grinning ear to ear. Their electric smiles immediately lit a massive smile on my face. *This could finally be home.*

As soon as I began to speak again someone barged in the room. I growled deeply and looked at the warrior who interrupted us. "I'm sorry your majesty but there is and urgent meeting you must attend. There was an attack on the white sands territory. Their Beta was injured and they have no one to lead as they have not found their Beta female yet." Warrior Ryan states.

I growl again and them shoo him out. I turn to my mates and sigh. "I have to go. But I'll be back." I walked over to the walk-in closet and stepped in. I pulled on a pair of camouflage sweatpants and a black cami. I pulled on a pair black combat boots and walked back into the bedroom. I grabbed my crown from the bedside table and with one last look at my mates I walked out of the room.
