1 Alpha 2 Mates

Chapter 6

Noah's POV

When we get to the bottom of the stairs I let go of Heather's hand. Lily still doesn't believe me so I don't want her getting upset again when she see's me holding my "mistresses" hand.

Heather tried reaching for my hand again but I stepped away and walked into the living room. Lily's feet was on the couch, crossed under her as she sat staring at us. Well, she surely made herself at home.

"Get your dirty-" Heather started but I cut her off.

"Lily can you come sit at the kitchen table?" I asked over my shoulder already walking towards the table.

"I hate how you always assume I will do what you ask" I heard Lily say, but I was already sitting at the head of the table. Heather took the chair to my right and Lily came in shortly afterwards and sat to my left.

We've been sitting here for about three minutes, Lily was glaring at Heather while Heather was clearly avoiding her stare by looking at me. 

"Noah I'm not liking this whole two mates idea you have going on, if this is some initiation prank you play on new members of the pact I don't like it, especially with something this serious" Lily said. 

Heather snapped "Do you think I would ever let Noah be anywhere near you for a stupid joke? Nobody has time to joke around with you, we're all busy keeping this pact strong."

She ignored Heather "Noah, please tell me this is a joke" She begged me, grasping my hands.

"No, It's not. You and Heather are both my mates" I stressed.

She broke eye contact with me, looking straight at Heather. "Then you're a complete fool if you think I'm going to let my mate be with you" she said viciously. I could feel her claws come out, just on the verge of braking through my skin.

Heather just continued to stare at her. I don't know how long ago her eyes turned amber, it either just turned that color or it happened when we sat at the table, either way it puts me on high alert. Her wolf is watching Lily.

"Heather, watch it. Contain your wolf we don't have time to get into another fight" I say carefully.

"Don't worry I'm in charge" she says quietly. Eyes firmly planted on Lily. "Her wolfs weak, If I choose an actual fight I could kill her, and I doubt you'll be pleased with that" she says in the same quiet tone.

Lily's grip tightens. She's growling under her breath, a defense mechanism to show she wont back down, but I can feel her pulse pumping fast.

Why isn't she strong? Heather and Lily should both have the same strength, because their both entitled to the Luna position, but Lily's wolf couldn't even fight back when it was in danger when Heather was choking her. Her wolf clearly needs to be protected, and I'm the only person who could do that.

I give Lily's hands a squeeze, and a light caress of my thumbs. Subtle enough that Heather won't see. Her grip loosens a bit.

"Heather, I don't want to go through this again, sto-" I say but once again get cut off.

Her eyes cut back to me "Holy crap Noah, what are you my keeper? I'm not going to do anything to her." 

"Heather, these past five months you've been preparing to become the Luna, I expected you to try to be a little more mature about this. I need you both to be mature, I don't expect you guys to be sister wives because it's okay to be mad about this. Yeah It's hard for me but it must be hell for you guys. All I'm asking is for peace, until further notice."

Heather straightened her back and tucked a hair behind her ear, clasping her hands on the table. Lily crossed her legs under her butt again, one hand in mine and the other supporting her head. I look at how different they are. I've been with Heather for a lot longer than I've been with Lily, and I've always loved how proper she was; I find it attractive. I don't know why but something about it is just a complete turn on.

But looking at Lily and how.. improper she was compared to Heather, I also found that a turn on. From the very little time I spent with Lily I can already see why were mates.

Heather cleared her throat "Lily--"

"It's Lilian to you, only my friends call me Lily, and my mate can call me anything he wants, just not Lilian" She said giving me a quick wink.

If I knew Heather, she's going to try to take the mature role in this.

"Good, because Lily makes you sound innocent, and no homewrecker is innocent" She snarled. I guess she decided to throw her manner built lifestyle out the window once Lily showed up.

"I'm no homewrecker, the difference between me and you is that you found him first" Lily said raising an eyebrow.

"I believe there's an old saying something along the lines of 'Finder's keepers'" Heather said c*****g her head to the side.

"And I believe there's an old saying 'First the worst, Second the best'" Lily says.

I cut in the conversation, pulling my hands out of Lily's and planting them firmly on the table "Are you both serious right now? 'Finders keepers?' 'First the worst, second the best?'" I ask in disbelief.

"I'm sorry to say Heather and Lily, but one of you will be the future Luna of this pact, and using stupid kindergarten lines isn't going to help your chances of making this pack respect or accept you. Because once the pack finds out about me having two mates their going to choose sides and it will get hectic. And I hate to break it to you both but my wolf is more restless than ever, especially when you both are in the same room. He wants an official mate and there can only be one Luna and one marked mate and I have no idea who the hell it's going to be."

Heather looks bewildered. "But the pack already accepts me, and they respect me so there will be no choosing sides" she says. "And I've been with you for five months, does that mean nothing?" she whispers the last line.

Lily grins a little. "Wait till they meet me, then you won't feel as confident in your position."

I ignore Lily's snide remark and look at Heather. "It means everything to me Heath, but I have to pick with my wolf, my human side knows that I've been with you longer, and knows that I know you better, but my wolf see's you both as equals, which you guys are. All he knows is that he has two mates, and he wants one to be chosen as soon as possible."

Heather takes a deep breath. "Then I think it's time to meet up with Alpha Rickman, the man who had two mates."
