“Enough” He bellows and they both freeze. Alpha Drake had Alpha Tate on the ground, his fist raised about to deliver another blow.
I was on the verge of tears and my sister looked as shocked as I felt.
“Get up, now. You will not carry on like this in my house. You are Alpha’s not boys act like it” My brother snaps at them. Drake gets off Tate but not before giving him one last shove making Tate growl before he gets to his feet.
“Now sit down” My father growls at them and they both pull chairs out, sitting down. This couldn’t get any worse, I think to myself.
Arial and I sit between my brother and father. I felt safest here, if either of them tried to grab me, I know they would lose an arm and probably their life by the time my mother is done with them.
“So, you both claim Lana? Both claim my daughter then act like animals fighting over her?” My mother asks, resting her hands on the desk and staring them down.
“Lana,” They both say at the same time trying out my name.
“Yes, she is my mate,” Drake says, sending me a wink. His blue eyes sparkling back at me, you could tell he was a player just by looking at him.
“No, she is my mate” Alpha Tate growls across the table.
“This is ridiculous, Lana do you feel anything for either of these to idiots” My mother says looking at me. It was the first time I had ever heard my mother call another Alpha a name, she must be over this feud already.
“No, nothing at all mama” She sighs, and she looks exhausted already.
“I am not leaving without my mate” Drake snaps and Alpha Tate stands up to protest, but I get up drawing their attention.
“I am not going anywhere with either of you. I am not your mate” I tell them looking between the pair of them and instantly feeling bad by the wounded looks they both give me.
“Shit, I can’t even find one mate and yet she has two, so unfair” My sister whines crossing her arms across her chest beside me and making me chuckle, not a serious bone in that girl’s body.
“You’re welcome to have both of them” I tell her before walking out.
“Lana you can’t just leave” Ryker calls out to me.
“Well, this is me leaving brother, so I guess I can” I tell him, letting the door swing shut behind me.
Lana POV
Walking out I went in search of my cousins and little brothers. I couldn’t sit in that room any longer while they compared dick sizes. What a day, not only do I have one person claiming I am their mate I have two. Like how is that even going to work, and how is it even possible? Arial comes out after a few minutes searching for me.
Sitting on the lounge, I watch my cousins play Mario kart in the games room, hoping my mother can sort out this drama for me, so they can be on their testosterone-filled way. Of course, I had to be mates with two people that despised each other.
Arial sits down beside me before pulling me against her side. I rest my head on her shoulder. She was my comfort place, always has been, our bond was like no other. Tyson and Ace were the same always joined at the hip no matter what.
“How do you feel?” Arial asks, concerned when I say nothing.
“Like this is a bad dream, I don’t want mates. I don’t want to leave you” I tell her. She nods her head and my aunt Lily comes out about an hour later of us watching the kids play.
“Come on kids we have to head home” She tells them making Arial and I look up.
“You’re leaving already?”
“We have to head back; we were planning on staying for a couple days but looks like you’re going to have a full house”
“Full house?” I ask, worried. Lily nods sadly.
“Yes, it will work out Lana, we have a couple members back home with more than one mate. Don’t let it get to you, too much” She answers. Great, so that means they are staying.
Arial and I help my Uncle and Aunty load the kids in the car. My mother embraced my Aunty tightly, not wanting to let her go. They were close like Arial and I, though their relationship was more mother daughter. My mother raised her sister, brought her up, they kind of reminded me of the Gilmore girls from that TV series, a day didn’t go by when my mother hadn’t spoken to her sister.
“Chin up Hun, you will whip them into shape. Or beat them senseless” Uncle Damien tells me, making me look up at him. I smile giving a quick nod before watching them leave and drive down the driveway. My mother had tears in her eyes, but she shook her head, pushing them back before her cold expression slipped back into place.
“Right, let’s deal with these two monkeys,” She says, tapping my cheek with her hand. Argh the last thing I wanted to do.
Walking inside, Ryker was showing them upstairs and I groaned when he put them in rooms on either side of the room I shared with my sister, Ryker leaving them to get settled in. Ignoring their presence, I went downstairs. Ryker was sitting at the kitchen bench, he looked tired and I figured it was from all the drama. My brother still hadn’t found his mate, not that he wanted one, his sole focus was on the pack and the businesses our family owned. My father helped him run them but had more or less stepped down handing the reins over to him.
“I can make them leave if you ask me” Ryker says when I walk in. I make Ryker and myself a coffee, handing him his.
“Do you want them to leave?” He asks but I could see the exhaustion on his face. I didn’t want my brother fighting my battles. That wouldn’t be fair, although I knew he would kill for his family, kill for his pack. My brother had no fear of violence, he could be ruthless and merciless when he wanted to be, he was a good Alpha and an even better brother.
“No, I will handle it, you have enough going on” I tell him, and he nods, running his hand through his hair before grabbing his mug.
