“I’ll be in my room until the run. Please just let me be alone for right now.” I said to Sherri, who nodded in understanding. I stomped up the back steps to the pack house, pushing past people to make it to the stairs and climb up them. Before I could escape inside my room, I was gently pushed against the door, a gruff voice breathing against my ear, causing goosebumps.
“Where are you going little one?” I stared at the wood of my door, a few tears spilling over.
“I’m trying to get into my bedroom to prepare for the run.” I said angrily. The door pushed open and I stumbled inside my room. My legs gave out underneath me and I collapsed, unable to hold myself together.
“Woah woah, what is this?” Xavier gathered me into his arms cradling me as he sat on my bed. I sniffed, wiping my tears as they fell.
“They’re my mates. Or were supposed to be. I’m honestly confused anymore, I don’t know what’s happening.” I looked up, and Xaviers eyes were lost in thought.
“Three mates? That’s very rare.” He murmured, biting his lip. “Has your wolf said anything about this?” I nodded, playing with my fingers. His hand rested on my calf, squeezing while he waited for my response.
“She said not to worry. That the moon goddess is correct when she makes us and our mates.” He nodded, still thinking as he untied my heels and began rubbing my feet. Oh goddess, that was amazing. They were all so talented with their hands. If this worked between all of us, I was going to be in heaven. No doubt about it. A deep growl sounded from my door, making us both look up. Wyatt stomped over to us, gently grabbing me from Xaviers arms.
“You may be the alpha of Blood Moon, but you don’t get to come in here and lay claim on any of our she wolves.” He growled out, barely able to control himself. Xavier looked at him in surprise.
“You’re worried about her when you have your future Luna waiting for you outside?” Xavier’s eyebrows raised. My mouth hung open. Another alpha? That explains why he casually talks to Wyatt and Xander like that.
“That’s none of your business.” Xander snarled, stepping forward.
“Forgive me, young alphas, but I don’t think my mate is any of your business, either.” Wyatt jerked in surprise, looking down at me. I wouldn’t meet his gaze, instead looking at my fingers until he gently placed me on my feet.
“Mate?” Xander growled questioningly. I nodded, and Xavier snorted.
“Yes little brother, it seems Little One here has three mates.” Little brother? It was my turn to snort. Explains so much.
“What’s the plan, then?” Xander said angrily, glaring at me. “You’re just going to go with him and reject us?” Xavier growled at his tone, pulling me towards him.
“I never said that.” I whispered, staring at the floor, my feet, the door, anything but the three men in my room right now. “I don’t know what my plan is, I still have a week left of school. I just want my week please.” Wyatt and Xander crossed their arms in unison, staring down at me angrily.
“You have a week. Then you need to tell us what the plan is.”
“You still have yet to figure out your Monica problem.” I shot back angrily, crossing my own arms. Xavier coughed, covering up a chuckle. Wyatt and Xander looked shocked.
“We’ve been trying to figure it out for 3 years.” Xander growled, glaring again. Fine. If they wanted to be mean, then I would, too.
“You want to give me a week to figure this out? Fine. You also have a week.” I glared back at Xander, and he growled.
“She’s right.” Wyatt said, running his hand through his hair. “We only gave her a week, it’s fair-“
“Gave her a week for what? To get out of my pack?” Monica’s annoying voice came from behind Xander, and they turned, startled. “I don’t want her here. She can leave tonight.” Her eyes zeroed in on me, full of malicious intent. Before I could speak, Xavier growled lowly behind me.
“Future Luna or not, you will respect the future Luna of Blood Moon or pay the consequences.” Wyatt, Xander, and Monica whipped their heads to look at Xavier.
“Watch your tone, you’re on Green Leaf territory.” Monica spat, unafraid. Xavier placed me on my bed and stood to his full height. He was a couple inches taller than Wyatt and Xander, and bulkier, too. Monica cowered into Xander.
“Green Leaf territory or no, respect is given where it is owed. And if I remember correctly, even if you two just merged packs, mine still outnumbers yours, my warriors outnumbering by at least 100.” Xavier spat and turned to the twins. “It looks as if she won’t need a week, she will be leaving tonight. Get out.” Wyatt and Xander stared at me, and I glared back. They nodded, pulling Monica out of my room.
“Good riddance, I don’t-” The door was slammed in Monica’s face before she could finish her sentence, and Xavier turned towards me. He gestured towards my wardrobe, and I took the signal. Pulling out my three largest suitcases, I began emptying my drawers and closet. He helped my fold and shove my clothes into the bags as I began shoving my cosmetic products into a large travel bag. Emptying out my bathroom of all soaps, lotions, and oils, I finally had 6 bags packed. There was a soft knock on my door, and Xander opened it to reveal a man almost as large as him.
