Chapter Seven
“What do you mean father?” I hissed. “You will not marry royals! They can’t be your mates!” Father growled and I gasped. “What do you mean royals?” I asked in disbelief and stepped away from my mates who whimpered.
“We were going to wait until a better time to tell you, but I guess now is fine.” Colt sighed. “We are the werewolf princes, the top and most powerful of all. You are now the Princess, future Queen and Luna of all packs and wolves.” Hunter explained. “You have got to be kidding me?” I gasped and they looked down. “So you really are royals. Let’s just tonight act like We don’t know and tomorrow deal with the fact that you two never told me!” I sighed and sat on the bench, Spike running to me.
“Hey there Spike!” I smiled and picked him up. Hunter’s eyes instantly met mine, he perked up. “You know my wolves’ name?” He asked softly. “Um no, I just named the puppy that.” I blushed and he looked sadden. “Well, since it is her birthday wish, ok. Hi there you two are quite the handsome lads.” My mother smiled. “Nice to meet you to Madame.” Hunter and Colt smiled and sat next to me.
“Dinner is ready!” My father called and we all ran to the table, I sat in between my mates. “Dinner smells so good!” Hunter smiled. “Thank you, call me mom and my husband your dad.” Mom smiled to them. We all ate, making small talk.
‘He lied to us’ I growled to Snow, my wolf. ‘They probably had a good idea, yes I am mad to but let’s calm down. They are still our mates, all ours and ours alone.’ Snow growled. ‘I am still mad at them.’ ‘Get your panties out of a twist and accept our mates!’ Snow growled. “Hun, would you like to start opening your presents?” Mawmaw smiled. “Sure, let’s open presents!” I smiled and got up, only to have Colt pull me to his lap. “Let me go.” I growled and got up.
“Here you go love, open it.” My Mawmaw smiled. It was a small box, I opened and was confused, it was a piece of paper that said ‘go out front’. “You gave her the wrong box.” Pawpaw sighed and handed me a similar box. I opened and there were a pair of keys, I looked up shocked. “Go out front.” My grandparents smiled. I squealed and ran out front; there stood a brand new black Convertible mustang. “Oh my god!!!” I screamed and hugged my grandparents.
“I love you guys’ thank you!!!” I squealed. They just laughed. “No problem love.” They smiled but looked sad. “We have to go, something popped up.” Pawpaw sighed and they left, I sighed. “Here” Alex said and gave me dog food as a present, my parents gave me clothes and now it was my mates turn.
“Here” Hunter smiled and hands me a small box. I opened it and there was a heart pendent, to open the locket you unfolded the wings, it was beautiful. On the inside, ‘Our precious mate’ inscribed. ‘See they truly love us.’ Snow howled with joy but I on the other hand was scared. “I am sorry.” I place the necklace back in the box and run to the woods, strip and shift running off. I heard two howls of pain both shook me and pained me.
I ran until my legs finally gave out and collapsed near a creek. ‘YOU IDIOT!! WHY RUN FROM OUR MATES? YOU MAKE THEM THINK THAT WE REJECTED THEM!’ Snow growled. ‘I think I might, I can’t be the-‘I was cut off by a body slamming into mine. I yelped I pain and the wolf turned back to look at me, he was a rouge. I heard the sound of paws running and panting from two sides. I stiffened and whimpered. The rouge bared his teeth and stalked forward growling.
‘BETHANY!’ Troy’s voice came into my mind. I turned and seen him and a few other pack members racing to us. I was tackled by the rouge and he bared his teeth. He was thrown off by a Massive and I mean massive Black wolf and a massive white wolf came to me and started to check for rounds, they were my mates. The black wolf snapped the rouges neck in seconds and came over, I could tell, Hunter was the white wolf and Colt was the black wolf.
My pack got there seconds later and my mates growled low and dangerous. I shifted back only for them to growl and cover my naked flesh with their fur. “Alpha Troy, why was there a rouge on our land?” I asked and He shifted back. I felt a hand coving my face, Hunter I smelt him. “You will only see us naked and no one will see your lovely flesh.” Hunter growled out.
“He was trespassing, he would have been questing but he caught you and your mates caught him.” Troy sighed. “But-“That is It Bethany; he is rouge so no one knows.” Troy sighed. “Leave, we have to talk.” Hunter growled out. And with that my pack left.
“Why did you leave little mate?” Colt asked inhaling my scent. “Because.” I whispered. “That isn’t an answer we want to hear.” Hunter growled. “Because I wanted to run with my wolf.” I lied, I couldn’t tell them I didn’t have the heart to tell them the truth. Colt growled and picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. Hunter wrapped his arms around my waist.
“Mate, you ran from us, are you rejecting us?” Hunter asked in a pained voice, his voice cracked and my heart broke. “No, yes, no! I don’t want to reject you guys, I already love you so much, but the truth is, I can’t be your royal.” I told them truthfully and both whimpered and released me.
