"Well, first I guess we talk about us?" Hunter suggested.

"Ye-sure, um well I don't know the rules and all but does anyone," I paused, I felt like I was about to see my lunch again. "Not want to do this?" I refused to look up.

"Angel, I gave you my Seal, which means I take the whole package deal. 1, or 100, I'm not going anywhere," Scott promised reaching out and taking my left hand.

I squeezed back with a smile. Scared to turn, but eventually I had to, I looked to Hunter. "What about you?" my voice a whisper.

"I'll admit, it wasn't what I expected. I obviously didn't handle it so hot either," he began but I interrupted him.

"I don't blame you, I'm sorry it happened like that. But I wan you to know I'm not angry or anything. I can understand more now how it felt. If it was me I'd do whatever I had to as well," it was something that needed to be said. So much had happened but we never addressed any of it.

Hunters shoulders dropped so fast, it was like he was carrying that around this whole time and weighing on him. I should have said it sooner

"Thank you, I-I needed that. We needed that," he corrected. "Still, we are in too. You're our Mate, I won't turn just because it's different than what I expected," he finished as he took my right hand.

Connected I felt so at peace, as if I could just close my eyes and sleep in their love and affection.

"Okay, so we all agree, we're together. You're my....boyfriends?" I added uncertainly. They both chuckled.

"While we're are more than that dear," Scott laughed.

"Yes, we're your boyfriends," Hunter confirmed.

"I have a feeling that's going to be a thing. Teaming up on me," I playfully glared as I tightened my grip on their hands.

"It will," they answered in unison

"Oh boy," we all laughed. "So I guess if we're in this together we have to talk about what's next. This prophecy? Alphas? Moving? I mean, are we okay with this? We can wait right? Like years," I suggested.

"Well, I don't think years is on the table, but we have time. I can't imagine they'd expect you to turn and then ascend," Scott guessed.

"It is your birthright though, Alpha blood runs in you, once you turn we won't know how you and your wolf will want to precede. You could connect and have the urge to claim your land. Especially since you're on another's land, she might not have enough experience to handle it," he paused. "Not that I'm saying you can't. It's just impossible to know how a caged alpha will react," he added quickly.

"But do we want this," I decided to not think about that. He was right in those terms I have no clue who I'll be or how I'll react to anything as the wall comes down. "Do you want to leave Uncle Richard and the company? What about your houses? The tenants? Your plans and assignments?" I rambled on. "Hunter, do you honestly want to leave here? It's home, your mom's here, you're the head warrior right?" I asked and he puffed his chest up slightly in response. He nodded to Scott to go first.

"I always knew it wasn't long term for me. It was a means to earn money, and travel with cover in search of my Soul. Plus he's your uncle, not like he'll say no, once we find out more about your adoption of course. I still have questions about that. Properties can be sold or rented as more income. It's wise to invest, also the tenants will always have a home," he promised. "As for the alpha part," he let out a long breath. "I can't say I ever thought I'd be in that position. It'll be new, and hard I'm sure. But I believe we can do it, we can make a home for us, a home that maybe others like us could feel safe. Multiple mates aren't rare, but they don't have the easiest go either. Couples that are different breeds are hard to place too depending on the home. We could be that guide, that safe haven," he mused.
