Rouge or Riches

Chapter three

Maddox's p.o.v

"get your damn ass down here bitch". I smile to myself at the nickname Nova has for me, and I walk downstairs to the living room and see my two brothers, Nova and my parents. "good morning Dox, we have some things to talk about" I nod my head at my mother, confused as to why none of the other pack mates are here. "okay now that everyone is here let's start this meeting. So, as you know we are traveling to the Crystal Moon pack in a few days to gain a peace treaty with them but what you don't know is that there could be a chance that you find your mates there" the moment my dad mentions mate's we're all more interested in this conversation.

"it's highly possible and I want you to be prepared to find them and not freak out" he gives a smile and my mother gives him a playful push. The story of how they met is truly hilarious, my dad saw her and freaked and said he would come back before running off, but he ran into a tree and got a concussion, mum was the one that carried him to the pack doctor and the rest is history. "okay so we might meet our mate is what you're saying?" "yes that is correct". Nova gives out a high-pitched squeal, she's been dying to meet her mate since she could comprehend what a mate was. She always talks of a prince charming situation, a man who can care for her.

My parents laugh and dismiss us, so the four of us walk out and to the field behind our house to do some running. We run beside each other at a steady pace "do you think you guys will find a cute guy for a mate at the Crystal Moon territory?" "I hope so, and I hope he has long hair" "what is it with you and long hair Ajax, I don't understand it" "I like long hair okay" I laugh at my brother. "and what about Nixon, he lives for blonde and blue eyes beauty's" he fake gags at the youngest triplet.

"oh shut up Ajax no one asked for your opinion, but what about you Maddox? What do you wish our mate look like?" "whatever he looks like I will love him, long hair or short. Blonde or brown I really don't have a preference" Nova smiles at me, nodding her head in acceptance of my answer. But my brother's bagger me for a real answer. "Come on you have to have something you want in a man Dox" "I'm happy with whatever okay just drop it" I give them a look and they nod. I know we're all hyped to get to the Crystal Moon pack and want to meet our mates but I think my brothers and Nova forget we might not meet them, but I don't feel like breaking their bubble so I leave it as a thought for the moment.

Nova's p.o.v

Once we finish running around the small field, i make the boys join me for lunch. So we sit down on a bench out the front of the pack house and talk like normal teenagers do. "Can you boys just promise me you won't try and fuck your mate the moment you meet him?" "no promises from me, but I know Maddox is a gentleman and will wait, for Nixon I have no clue" "Ajax" I eye him with the most deadly look I can muster, "fine, fine I'll wait till our mate's ready" "there's a good boy" I pat his head and laugh. I always have such a good time with the triplets; I've known them for so long I would have no idea what to do if they weren't a part of my life.

I take a glance at the bracelet; I remember the day the boys gave it to me. It was my tenth birthday, Alpha and Luna Archer were setting up a feast as usual and I was with some girlfriends of mine when they pulled me away and said we had to talk. They told me they had to go away for a while to train in the values a future Alpha should have. It was the first time they had ever seen me cry, but they gave me this beautiful bracelet saying that whenever I looked at it or felt its weight on my wrist I would think of them and they would think of me. Smiling to myself I grab the empty plates saying I was going to clean up and left the boys to themselves.

After washing the dishes, I decided that some rest one of the many hammocks we have placed around the territory would be a nice way to unwind. I find my favourite hammock, not too far from the pack house and not too close as to hear the yelling of the children. I lay down on the stretchy material and a sigh of content leaves my mouth. The thought of finding my mate is exhilarating but threatening at the same time.
