The Elf King & His Complicated Mate (The Hybrid Series) Book 11

Chapter 33: Family Dinner

Dreaming

Lissa

I walked down the aisle in this ancient robe meant for a Princess, I smiled at the guests who came to see me get married to the loves of my life. The bells were ringing, and it was a bright sunny day as the sun shined through the chapel windows, giving this magical look on this bright day. I saw my one-year-old son in the Queen mother's lap as she pointed to me as I passed him, I felt beautiful as I wore a small tiara on my head with a silver and white wedding gown. I turned to see Jared and Levi in matching tuxes looking at me, I was excited and ready to be with them. Their smiles comforted me and both extended their hands to me as I took them and stepped up to reach the altar and curtsy. I stood in the middle as we said our vows and did the ritual, sharing our blood, and becoming our little throuple. The crowd celebrated as I turned and kissed Jared first and then Levi, we walked out to the balcony together to wave at our people before they both bit my neck at the same time, but the real mating began once we retired for the night.

Awake

I moaned, feeling the sparks on my head and feet, it felt so amazing, I was safe and comforted, and the dream felt so real, then it came back to me and I opened my eyes. My heart rate sped up, I saw Jared smiling at me with his hand on my cheek giving me slight strokes and I looked down at my feet to see Levi massaging them. I jumped back to the headboard, and looked at the twins trying to calm me down, Jared stared at me saying, "Relax Lissa, we need to explain everything." Jared stood up and Levi remained sitting at the bottom of the bed, he smiled and said, "Sorry, we scared you," Jared looked at me and smiled. My heart melted, I loved him, I looked at Levi and felt a pull toward him, he got up and sat beside me and Jared followed, squeezing me in the middle. I felt sparks from both of them, I touched them on their legs, wanting to know if this was real, Levi said, "This is real, love," but his lips didn't move.

I looked at him confused, hearing him in my head again, "We are your mates, Alyssa," I looked at Jared as he held my hand and the tingles of our bond felt amazing. I didn't know I was crying until Levi wiped a tear and said, "You are mated to both of us," I leaned into his touch, the bond felt so much stronger now with both of them. I looked into Jared's eyes and the bond connected, I did the same with Levi, and it also connected, I was mated to both Princes of Elvira. Jared said, "I can explain everything if you are ready to hear it," I nodded for him to go ahead because I was overwhelmed feeling the love they had for me because I understood Jared, but I felt Levi's love too, and I only met him today. Jared said, "We knew who you were once you started working at our library," I was shocked that they owned the place.

"Drax had informed us to watch what you did when you crossed over to Elvira, he let you go when they took Bradley because you were no threat to them," he explained. I stopped him and said, "So, befriending me was just to see if I was a threat to you and the Supremes, you pretended to work at your business, so you could watch me for Beta Drax, was f*****g me part of the plan?" He said, "Of course not, you came on to me if I remember correctly, being my mate made it hard to refuse," I said, "So, you knew the whole time we were mates." He rubbed his forehead and said, "I did, but you weren't ready to hear it, you weren't feeling the bond, so I decided to get to know you, let you know me and now, you feel it." He was right, I wasn't feeling anything and I looked at Levi and asked, "What's your excuse for now showing yourself?"

Levi looked at Jared who said, "That's my fault, he wanted to know you, but I couldn't explain that two men are mated with you unless you felt the bond, but some people got impatient because we had gotten close." Levi smiled and said, "I wanted to be near you, and it wasn't fair Jared was getting all the attention," I smiled because they were bickering about spending time with me. I held both their hands and said, "This is new, being mated to twins, so be patient," then there was a knock on the door and I saw Beta Drax, I froze in fear, he was going to kill me. Jared felt me getting a panicked attack and held me saying, "Relax," Levi asked, "Did you have to scare her like that?" Drax looked into my eyes and said, "She has nothing to worry about if she forgets her whole revenge plan for a snake-like, Bradley," I nodded agreeing to his terms because I had a new lease with love and a son to live for, I have two amazing men who love me.

Emile

I was excited about dinner because we would get to meet my brother's mate, Mom was excited and so was Attia, we decided to make it a family affair. After all, she would be a Princess once mated to my younger brothers, Mendai looked at me, and we walked into the room that held our family portraits over the years and the poor girl fainted in Jared's arms. He took her to his bedroom and Drax said, "Sorry, we kind of have that effect when they expect to be killed for their crimes." I looked at him and said, "You are not going to kill their mate, Drax," he said, "Of course not, I am here to make a deal and release the magic monitor on her, so your brothers can have their mate." We headed down to meet with Jared and Levi, Drax went into the bedroom removed the monitor, and said, "She is all yours boys, I will make it easy for her to understand this was not your fault," touching her temple and chanting a spell.

He said, "She is dreaming about her future wedding with both of you, I will return when she is awake and make the deal," we left them alone with their mate. Drax went into my private quarters, and we had a scotch together, he told me about what Ty was going through and the family outing in Faeora, I remember Cayden had invited me, a celebration for Queen Allison, but I wasn't ready to see my mate. Drax said, "I know it's hard waiting for your mate, especially knowing who they are," I smiled, saying, "That's not it, I am more worried about her loving my s****l habits in the future if she accepts me." Drax said, "Of course, I remember you are into the wild stuff, but she will not reject you," I smiled, saying, "I don't want to put a face to the blank space of her, after all, she is still a child." Drax said, "Good, we don't like groomers," I said, "Me neither, speaking of groomers, I need a favor, Drax, I want this done privately."

He nodded, and I explained about my son and his former husband, about how things got out of hand and Zack's heartbreak, he was shocked about everything. He said, "I will look into it," he turned to the window and said, "If he did rape, Zack, what do you want me to do?" I sighed and said, "Kill him because I can't go back on my word to, Zack, Laddie betrayed my trust, Drax," Drax smiled, finished his drink, and said, "She is awake let's get down to business." After everything was over, Drax looked at me and said, "You can bring a gift for your mate, Ty will be pleased and for the record, we all trust you, we know you won't harm, Briana," before he left. I smiled and headed down to the dining hall where dinner would take place, I saw my mother feeding little Booker, he was a bubbly baby and I picked him up, and he smiled at me.

I couldn't wait to have the little ones running around again, I missed Zack dearly but promised to give him space and wouldn't go back on my word. Mendai and his mates were talking to each other as Dai talked to the girl he was dating, I saw Jared and Levi walk in with their mate holding her hands. Her eyes lit up when she saw Booker in my lap drinking his tea from the bottle, they sat down and Jared introduced her to everyone at the table. She seems pleasant and nice, I hope she is way more polite than her crazy sister, Sheila, who Ty plans on killing. The dinner was going well and jokes were shared about our childhoods which made the twins blush in front of Lissa, I saw how they looked at each other and I wanted to be like that once Bree was old enough to be with me and choose me, she still had the option to reject me.

Later, when dinner was over, Lissa decided to stay the night and I headed to my quarters, I wasn't going to be alone as I summoned Holly to join me. I was getting comfortable in bed when Lamira linked me and said, "Hey Eme, Did Malric leave on another business trip for you?" My heart skipped a beat hearing her voice, I still had feelings for her all these years later which I respected and cherished with our friendship, but I was shocked at what she asked because he hadn't. However, I didn't want to break her heart and said, "Yes, it was at the last minute; sorry love," I felt her relief over what I said. She said, "Thank you, I thought he was cheating again," I folded my fist in anger, I had no idea he would cheat again after the last time, she had told me about it. I was confused and wondered, "Did I make the right choice in making her mate, Malric?" I was taken out of my thoughts when Holly entered the room with her overnight bag, I smiled and promised to visit Malric tomorrow, but right now, I was in the mood for some sexy time.
