As if on cue Benjamin comes in with Elder Amelia at his heels. “What?” Victor and Peter are glaring daggers at him.
“Nothing, I was just telling them how persuasive you are. They don’t like the facts.” I laugh at their gazes.
“Okay.” He draws it out like he is surrounded by crazy people. “So this is Elder Amelia you wanted to speak to her alone.” He motions for the other two to follow him out.
Elder Amelia watches them leave with the biggest smile I swear she has ever used. She seems really amused about something. “Hello Olivia. I am so glad to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you. The Omega strong enough to tame two alphas and a Beta.”
“I am glad you are amused.” I scoff at her.
“I am sorry but this is something that packs have not had happen in hundreds of years. We had to research it. When it happened before it was a temporary thing. The reason being is the pack recognized that things had to be fixed and they welcomed the mate bonds. We know times have changed and back then it was normal for human males to have more than one wife and even some women had more than one husband. That is not how wolves work. However it would seem that sometimes we have to act like humans.”
“So you are suggesting that I accept all the mate bonds. You are aware there are two Alphas in this mate bond. They were just pissed off that Benjamin kissed me first. How am I supposed to handle them all the time on a sharing level?” I roll my eyes like this is the most crazy concept I have ever heard in my life.
“You seemed to do a good job. They didn’t like it but they took it from you. They agreed to whatever you said. I think they want to work it out. I don’t think they want to give up their Luna. That of course is just a suggestion. You can pick of course.”
“How am I supposed to do that? I can’t hold myself back from any of them. I keep trying to keep a distance, but it doesn’t work out so well.” I am kind of ashamed of this part.
“My opinion is that you aren’t supposed to hold back. However I would never force you. You can only do what is best for yourself.” She lets the smile drop, and looks at me with concern. At least I can tell that she cares about my feelings and isn’t just amused.
“What about what is best for the packs? How can I be Luna of two packs and Beta female?”
“That is something that will have to be worked out. The goddess works in mysterious ways that is for sure. We are here to protect the world from things that humans can’t even comprehend. If we die out, so will they. We are guardians and the goddess has seen to it that we are going to survive as long as we are needed to. This is her way of making sure that happens. I am not sure how this will play out, only that it needs to. I hope I have been helpful to you.” Elder Amelia smiles.
“Not really, I am still lost. But I see what you mean. One last thing before you go. The guys are going to ask you about using the college campus as a group training area, while we are all on high alert that way the packs can train together.”
“That sounds like a great idea. I will talk to the other Elders and have an answer for your boys later on today.”
“Thank you Elder Amelia.” I feel weird, hearing them called my boys.
“Just remember no matter how this plays out. It will be alright in the end.” She smiles and leaves me alone.
I sit and think about what she said about it being the goddess’s will and time of war where things were done differently. I know that was old times though. We don’t think like that anymore. It just seems crude. The bonds are strong though I am not so sure that I will be able to do something different then what I am already doing. I am only alone for a moment before Benjamin comes back in. He takes his seat that he had before he left.
“Was it a good talk?”
“Not at all. Except for the training part, she seemed to really like that idea. I am just as lost as I was before I talked to her, about this whole mate bond thing. It seems that we are all this for the long haul. I mean we could choose to fight it but we all know how hard it is to fight a mate-bond.”
“Does that mean you are willing to let us share you?” Benjamin smiled a little which I thought was a bit weird.
“I don’t know. I am thinking about it. It just feels odd. I really just don’t know. Why does the thought of sharing with me make you smile?”
“Well, first off I heard about how persuasive you think I am. Also we have been talking about it for a week and none of us is really willing to part with you.” The last part makes him shrug, like he doesn’t want it to be a big deal, even though I know it is. These guys sharing me isn’t going to be easy.
“Of course they would complain that I said you were very persuasive. You know I just said that to piss them off.”
“Oh really, so if I tried to kiss you right now you would be able to resist me.” Benjamin sighs as he glides his fingers up my arm. Then he leans his face in so that his breath can be felt on my face. I am trembling with the feelings that are radiating through me right now.
“Maybe.” It is barely a whisper. I know he can hear me.
“We shall see.” Then he lightly caresses his lips on mine. I can’t help it, I smash mine into his. We were like that long enough to not notice that the door had opened.
“Damn, he does work fast.” Victor grumbled.
We broke apart. “See persuasive.” Peter smirks but doesn’t sound as happy as his face is trying to put off.
“Yeah, yeah. Alright so have you guys called this Alpha meeting yet. You should probably request Betas too, that way you have more people who may vote your way.” I sigh as I lean back. How can I not resist them? Like at all. What is wrong with me?”
“You are not getting rid of us all that easily. Beta stays.” Victor glares at me. “I am not leaving you unprotected.”
“None of us are.” Peter folds his arms over his chest and glares at me.
“I am not trying to get rid of you guys, I am just thinking about the pack.” I protest like I am some sort of villain trying to escape from prison, that is the way they are acting.
“So are we. Our packs need our Luna. That is you, whether you like it or not.” Peter states.
“Fine. I see your point. I am a fighter though you can’t keep me locked up.”
“No, we have no intention of doing that. You are going to be the one training the troops as soon as you get your ass out of this bed.” Victor smirks. “We have had a lot of time to talk about this. You were playing sleeping beauty and all we could do was talk.”
“Yes, I was playing. So I hear about all the talking you have been doing. Do you really think that all of you can share me?”
“I think that is the only thing that we all really believe one hundred percent. Even if we bicker, none of us can live without you.” Peter says. “You may not realize it but you have us wrapped around your fingers. You are a queen and none of us are willing to let you go. Of course if you decide this is too much for you then we will respect that.”
“Of course it is too much. But I also understand that we have a destiny. We might just have to find a way to work this out.” I sound resolved, even though I am far from it.
“Well for now Benjamin and I are going to step out so you can have some time with Victor before him and I leave.” Peter motions Benjamin towards the door.
