-Skylar P.O.V.- “Ugh” I groan from the sun shining on my face. I want to move, but I cannot. I open my eyes to see me tangled in my mates. I am literally laying sideways. My legs are over Aiden as he holds them close to his chest, and then my head is resting on Elijah’s face as he is protectively holding my upper body. A piece of me wants to freak out, but for some reason last night was the best sleep I have ever gotten in my life. Moon: I told you that letting them touch you or learning to trust them isn’t so bad. They care for you and they didn’t go to sleep until about an hour after you fell asleep. They wanted to make sure that you wouldn’t wake up or have a nightmare. I know you have been through a lot, but you can trust them. Me: Okay, okay. I get it. I will try to trust them. I will try, I promise. I then blocked out Moon and right when I did, Aiden and Elijah started to wake up. They both stirred awake and when they did, they opened their eyes really wide. I then slowly sat up while they just froze. I know that they don’t want to make any movements because they are afraid that I will freak out or have a panic attack. Once I sat up, I spoke. “Thank you both for staying with me throughout the night. This has been the best sleep of my life, and I didn’t have any nightmares. I also want to say that don’t apologize for how we woke up… I..I… talked with my wolf and I agreed with her that I need to learn to trust you both, so don’t apologize.” I told them softly while I stared at my hands. “Well then, we won’t apologize. Just so you know that is probably the best sleep we have ever gotten as well.” Aiden spoke while Elijah hummed in agreement. Before I could say anything else, a girl burst in my room. “Hi, I am Mia! I am sorry for busting in your room like this, but I couldn’t wait to meet you.” She spoke with the biggest smile on her face. “Well, we will be taking our leave now. If you need anything let us know.” Elijah spoke and then they both got off the bed and walked towards my door. They stopped and both of them kissed their sister on the cheek while she kicked them out. Making me giggle at how they pouted because I think they wanted to say goodbye to me. She then ran over to my bed and jumped on it, making me laugh. “Sorry, I am a bit much BUT I am so glad that I get to meet my brothers’ mate! You are so beautiful!!” Mia said with excitement. I blushed a bit. “Thank you.” I told her shyly. “Okay, get dressed because we are going shopping! I have a date tonight with my mate who I met last night! Ahhh, girl he is so handsome!” I giggled at her. She is acting as if we have been friends for years. Before I could say anything, I heard a knock at my front door. “Come in.” I spoke. Then Annie came with her pregnant belly while she smiled at me and Mia. “I am here to hang out with the two of you today! I also want to get to know my new sister! Plus, I bet she will walk with me and not leave my pregnant self behind.” She said with a huff as she sat on my bed. Mia rolled her eyes at what she said. “Oh stop. I do not leave you behind! It isn’t my fault that you waddle everywhere now.” Annie faked a shocked gasp and put her hand over her heart as if she was hurt, but you could see in her eyes that she didn’t mean it. “You wound me!” She said in a shocked expression. I started to laugh, which broke the dam and then we all ended up laughing. Annie had to try to calm down because she almost peed her pants. Mia was losing it and then I started crying… I didn’t mean to ruin the moment, but I never thought that I would be able to have a family again…Annie noticed and then she hit Mia. Mia looked at me and then threw her arms around me hugging me while Annie wiped my face. “Oh, honey, are you okay?” Annie said in a sisterly voice. I calmed down enough to speak. “I never thought that I would get the chance to have a family… I never thought that I would be able to act like a normal person. Sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin the fun.” I said while I broke from the hug and wiped my tears. “Girl, we don’t care. We know that you have been through a tough time and we get it. But just know that we already view you as a sister and we are here for you. Just wait till you meet Lucy, Gavin’s mate, she is a firecracker!” Annie said the last part giggling while Mia agreed with her on the part about how they see me as a sister. We ended up sitting in my bed as we laughed and talked while getting to know each other more. Xavier ended up bringing us a tray filled with breakfast food and snacks because Annie mindlinked him. After talking they shoved me in the bathroom to get ready for the day. They wanted to take me to the mall to get my own clothes and to get things that I would like. Of course, Mia pulled out a black credit card saying that Lilith/her mom gave it to her so I could get anything that I wanted. She said to spend however much they wanted/I because money is no problem for them. Mia also told me about all of the businesses that Lilith deals with and owns. Asmodeus also has built up his wealth over the many years that he has been roaming the earth, so money is literally no problem for this pack or for the family. I also ended up learning a lot about Elijah and Aiden which of course surprised me at how smart they really are. After my shower, I got dressed and then just put my hair in a high ponytail while finishing everything else. I walked out to hear a voice that I hadn’t heard before. The woman had her back turned to me, but once I walked out, she turned around. She then smiled really big and ran over to me to engulf me in a hug. I then heard Mia’s voice. “That is Lucy, Gavin’s’ mate.” Mia told me. “Ohhh.” I said while I returned the hug now knowing who she is. She broke the hug and looked at me. “Sorry, but I just couldn’t help myself. I cannot believe that I am meeting Elijah’s and Aiden’s mate!” She said in a very happy voice. I smiled at her, but before I could say anything she spoke again. “Alright, I must be off. I need to go somewhere with Gavin, and I have no idea where because he won’t tell me!” She said the last part with a raised voice. I then followed her eyes to see her staring at a man in my doorway. “Hi, I am Gavin, and Lucy you will love it.” He tells her while he laughs a bit. Lucy sighs then says her goodbyes as Gavin takes her to wherever they are going to go. Then Mia, Annie, and I head downstairs to go to the mall only to be met with Lilith in the kitchen. “You will need to take protection with you to the mall. So, two guards will be following you, but they will keep their distance. Okay?” Lilith looks at Mia since she has an annoyed expression on her face. Mia nods while Annie agrees with the decision. I just stand there watching then I feel a hand on my shoulder to see it is Mia pushing me out of the house. We quickly get in her car which is a pretty nice 4-door car. As we head to the mall, we are listening to music while talking about any and everything. It was nice feeling like a person for once.
