The rest of the night my mate held me close to him, allowing both of us some rest after the day. With our bond now complete, I could feel him in ways that I never thought could be possible. My little angry blonde king's emotions now could be sensed by me through the bond, letting me know just how happy he was with himself completing the bond with me. The smug little bastard knew that he had taken my virginity and that his brothers would be jealous of his accomplishment.

It was the small things about them that really did make me swoon. Their protectiveness, their little kisses, and the way that they would compete with each other. You could often find Caius and Aro bickering about the smallest of details on things with Marcus making snide remarks to them both that would make the two of them go crazy.

Everything about the three of them made me want to have them for the rest of eternity, all to myself. Thankfully, that was what they promised me and what they would give to me, their mate and queen.

As Caius started to let out low purrs, the doors to his room opened, revealing Aro and Marcus, who looked annoyed. God, does everyone in this castle have bad manners? At least Demetri knocks sometimes before barging in. We could have been doing anything and they choose to lack any kingly manners?

With the two of us naked and under the sheets, we both hissed as they closed the door quite loudly behind them. My blonde mate held me in his arms as I continued to cuddle up to his chest the way I had been the entire night.

"You don't even have the taste to knock?" Caius spits, "Leave us be."

"Not only have you alerted the entire castle to your affairs with our mate, you have also seemed to not care enough to miss two trials today," Aro seethes. "Do you have any taste, Caius?"

I hiss in discontent, not liking that my mates were fighting with one another while I was naked and in the room. "Leave my angry man alone, Aro," I defend, "Me being loud is my fault."

"Oh, no, cara mia, you being loud is absolutely lovely. No fault on your part, amore," my mate kisses my head. I giggle and pull the blankets up a bit more, almost covering my face in them. Although I had no body heat of my own, the blankets felt so warm around my unclothed form.

"You really do have to boast, don't you, brother?" Marcus' face turned to a small snarl. "Our mate also needs to be at her trials as she is the queen, yet you did not inform her of any of the trials that are to occur today. You have specifically used all of this time for cuddling instead of doing your job, forcing Annalise to go along with your ditching."

"I did no such thing," Caius covers the rest of my head in the blanket, forcing me into darkness, "As you said, Annalise needed some time to get comfortable. I have provided her great comfort through-"

"Do not finish that sentence, brother," Marcus cuts his fellow king off.

"What? I was just telling the truth. Our bellissima mate and I simply needed some time for the bond to stop pulsing like we were some humans. Of course, you should have known that, Marcus. Are you not the person who can see the bonds that Annalise has?" Caius questions.

"I am, but that is not the point. You have caused quite the disturbance in the castle," I gulp at Marcus' words. Anna, literally everyone in the castle heard you two. You're so loud honey. Vampires have better hearing. You know that. Aro and Marcus had to listen to that spectacle last night. Ah, shit voice, you're right. Hell, I know that. Poor babies. Poor jealous babies.
