"What did he say?" Blake asked while holding on to Lily tighter.

"I said Parker growls out at Blake once he sees his arms around her.

"Well that doesn't mean anything!" Blake shouted at him. Pushing Lily behind him Blake stood alert.

"You will hand over my Parker's voice shocked me. It was so calm but the way his body was shaking I knew his wolf was close.

I walk towards Enquire. I put a hand on his arm and he places his on top of mine. Blake, who was watching Parker, looks over at us and his eyes narrow.

I glance at Enquire and look back at Blake. I raise a brow in challenge. Daring him to comment. He isn't in a good situation and he will only make it worst.

"We are going to our room now." I can hear the stress in his voice. Lily must to because she peeks out from behind him. "Blake? Are you okay?" Parker looks ready to explode. Seeing your mate treat another with compassion will kill anyone.

"

Lily jumps almost. I almost feel for her but I can't seem to find a care.

"Why?" I look to Parker. He stopped shaking. He just looks so broken.

"I thought you died." I shake my head. Lily was 22 when Blake left me for her. After shifting at 14 like most with Beta and Alpha blood. I believe she thought Parker to be dead. Now at 25 she is with pup and finds her mate all in one week.

"I waited." He breathes out calmly. "135 years. I waited for my mate. My soul."

Lily looks ready to break. "And you! How long did you wait? Huh? How long?"

She looks down in shame. "Eight."

"Eight? Eight?!" He starts shaking again. Parker would never harm his mate but Blake acts and pulls her to him.

That was a bad move. Parker finally snaps. He shifts. Enquire moves me behind him and backs us up a little. I wonder why he hasn't done anything and I look up at him.

This is something only they can fix.

I smile at his link in my head and lean into his back. Taking in his scent and relaxing myself from this situation.

I hear clothes rip and I know Blake shifted too. Look and see they are circling each other. Lily is crying. Parker turns to her.

Blake goes on for the first attack like a coward. While Parker is distracted.

"STOP!!" I look up at Lily. She is huffing from crying and that big out burst she just had. Both her mates stop in their tracks and turn to her.

"Please. Just come with me." She walks in the direction of the tv room. Blake goes to follow her but she stops him. "Not you." She looks at Parker and he follows still in wolf form after her tail almost wagging.

Blake shifts back with a growl. "What the hell-"

I feel my mate's chest vibrate. "Come. We have things to discuss." I feel his commanding voice and know that Blake can't refuse.

"Yes, Your Highness."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I watch my mate pace in wolf form in front of me. Mate. I never though he was alive. I waited eight years for him till I fell in love with Blake. I feel terrible. He waiting more than a life time for me and I just toss away the idea of him like trash.

"Please." He stops. His wolf's head lifts and I see his eyes change from green to black and back again.

He shifts in front of me all of a sudden. His body is amazing. His short blonde hair and six pack. He has a beautiful jaw line with a short beard. He is also naked and I can't help that my eyes glanced down. "Are you done starring, mate?" He says with a chuckle.

"Um. I'm sorry..!" He laughs again.

"Don't worry. I am yours...that is...if you do want me."

I look down at my hands. "I'm sorry. I really did believe you dead. I was 22 and saw mated couples all around."

"This was three years ago, yes?"

I nod.

"When did he...Mark...you?" I can hear his unhappiness.

"In March. We left for a honey moon kinda thing a week after in April."

"I arrived April 2nd to the DarkMoon pack to find my mate."

I gasp. If I would have waited just a week I would have meet him. "This is all my fault." I drop my head.

"If I didn't interact with Blake, Kendall would be happily on her third pup by now and I would have had you." I start crying. My head in my hands.

"Lily. It is not your fault." I feel his hands on mine. He lifts my chin and strokes my cheek. "You can make this right."

"What?"

"If you still want me. I will take you and the pup. You will be mine."

"But your heir!"

"If it is a boy. He will be my heir." He leaned in and place a kiss on my cheek. "I will love you like I was made to."

I look in his eyes and see he is telling the truth. "You are too good for me."

He smiles at my words. "What about Blake?" His smile drops. "You are mine. He will get over it. Or face my canines."

I nod at him. I do care for Blake. I realize that now. That all it was. Care. I was lonely and he saw that. I never thought he loved me. I think he wanted my father's position.

He might have realized his flaw when he found out he rejected the Alpha's daughter. I look up at my mate and smile. "I accept you. Parker Brandon Rose as my mate and partner."

"Thank you."

I was about to answer him till he pulled me in and devoured my lips with his. And then I knew I was home.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Here."

"What is this?" He picks it up and reads over it. "A thank you card?" He looks confused. "What is the need for thanks?"

"You. Giving me my mate." He looks up at me then to Kendall on my side.

"Wha-"

"Joyce will show you your room." As I say this Joyce walks in and bows.

"Yes Your Highness." He gets up and follows her to the door. "And Blake? Be sure to stay in your room for the night." He looks ready to object but thinks better of it.

With a bow he is gone. I turn to my mate who is laughing to herself. "Pequeña." She stops laughing and glares at me. "Mate."

"Would you like to go to bed?"

By the heated look in her eyes I believe she did.
