THE DRAGON KING AND HIS RUNT

TALK TO ME, GRACE!!

Isiah whispers, "What just happened, baby girl, talk to me?" I shake my head violently; he leads outside to the backside of the garden. "Talk to me, Grace!"

I dry my tears and try to smile," You know that 40% percent chance that fraternal twins, triplets, quadruplets and quintuplets may have the same mate it just happened. My mate is in love with my evil sister. He will be pledging himself to my sister in a couple of hours. He is gonna reject me; all he sees is Grace the Runt."

He dried my cheeks and told me, "Montego is an honorable man, sister. He will do the right thing. I am sure he's explaining everything to Faith right now. She will understand. Everything will be okay!"

I shake my head, chuckling, "This is our sister Faith, you are talking about now. Bet! Hundred bucks says I am rejected within the hour!"

He groans," You and your betting! I will take that bet! I know my best friend! Easiest $100 bucks, I 've ever made!" I laugh at him.

We walk back inside, to where my Uncle Aaron is waiting on us. "Alpha wants us in his office.... this is a mess.... Why can't anything ever be easy with you, Grace?"

I just rolled my eyes and mind link Isiah. "Still think you're winning the bet?"

Isiah asked calmly," How, exactly is this Grace's fault, Uncle Aaron? The Moon Goddess chooses mates. She wanted Montego to have two (2) fated mates, obviously. I don't see a problem."

I heard my wolf Luna say in my head, "Is she really his fated mate?" I quickly snapped back to her," I don't care! Just prepare for our rejection, please!"

My Uncle snapped that this is not Isiah's decision. We followed him into the Alpha's office.

Entering the office ..... there they all sat Alpha, Luna.... My Aunt..... My sister and her mate......and Montego.... with Faith in his lap......consoling her. Luna my wolf whines deep and my heart hurts.

I comfort her, letting her know we are stronger than this.... Bigger than this heartbreak! We just have to wait for our second chance mate or go to our Asian Bae!

Luna instantly perks up; she loves herself some Blaze and Dradon the names of the hybrid Dragon King Miles's wolf and dragon. She has been team #DragonKIng since day one. Luna quickly says" I plan to send all the pain of rejection of our mate bond and of this pack to him. Are you in agreement?"

"Hell, yes, Luna!", I shout back to her.

"Good! We shouldn't have to suffer just because he is stupid and doesn't see our worth!", barks Luna.

"I totally agree!" I say back to her.

As a Heartsong, we have this ability. We also don't need his acceptance of our rejection in order to severe our mate bond. If the Moon Goddess believes we have a valid reason; it will automatically be granted.

I sit beside Isiah.....he takes my hand. My Uncle Aaron plops beside my Aunt Sarah. Before anyone can speak my beloved brother says," As we all know the Moon Goddess has away of delivering us gifts of fate, when we least expected it. Today, my best friend was blessed with two (2) fated mates. This will definitively ensure our pack a healthy and productive longevity. We should be celebrating these three mate bonds not sitting here with sad long faces."

"I will not share my mate with that RUNT! I DON'T CARE IF IT WILL KILL HER! SHE CAN DIE FOR ALL I CARE, RIGHT NOW!!!!", screams Faith.

"It's okay, Faith! You shouldn't be expected to share him!" states Chastity calmly.

Alpha Anderson barks out, "Stop! Be quiet, everyone! This is an unfortunate turn of events. Grace, I am sure you understand the significance of this.......as a runt with a shorter life span.........as the third born daughter of a Beta......it's only logical the first healthy daughter be the mate of the Alpha.........plus Montego and Faith love each other......they have been together for six years. This.....wrinkle....cannot be allowed to throw a monkey wrench into their plans."

Isiah squeezed my hand, as I began to shake...... I ask," So, I am once again expected to accept Faith's unwillingness to share anything with me? Expected to step aside!? Take a backseat to the whatever Faith wants, Faith gets dog and pony show?! I want my mate and I want to share him! This is what the Moon Goddess wants for us!"

And Isiah squeezes my hand harder.....knowing I am about to say something, I can't take back.

"Yes, Grace! Our Alpha can't attach himself to someone who will die much sooner than him!! Think of the pack, not yourself for Goddess sake!!",states my sister Chastity yelling angrily at me.

"Just step aside, Grace!" yells my Aunt Sarah.

"Just do the honorable thing, Grace!" says my Uncle Aaron.

Faith screeches," You have always wanted what I have, Grace! All our lives you have made everything about you! Not this time, you will not get my mate, RUNT!!

I burst out laughing...Are you serious, right now? Is she serious? I have never wanted what you have! With your non-dressing bimbo self. Can you even spell CLASS ACT or CLASSY? Terms you obliviously know nothing about. NOTHING! NOTHING in our lives has ever been about ME!! Our triplet birthdays......not once were they ever what I wanted! I hate pink! Boy Bands are for stupid cheerleaders! Rainbow confetti cakes are disgusting! Have I ever complained? The only person in this entire pack who ever gave a SHIT about ME is MY BROTHER!! MY FATHER would be hurt and shamed OF THIS PACK for how you have allowed them to TREAT ME, ALPHA ANDERSON!! UNCLE AARON AND AUNT SARAH, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU TWO OF ALL PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND, APPRECIATE AND RESPECT THE FATED MATE BOND GIVEN YOUR HISTORY!!
