Alora POV
"Why are you so angry.. you didn't walk in and find me asleep on another males knee." How can he be angry at me questioning him.
"I'm not angry," he says, but I can feel it through our bond. "I can feel it." I state the obvious and slam my walls back up.
"I'm not.. I.." But he's stuttering over his words, so definitely not convinced.
"You are, but I have no clue why." I stand and start pacing, but they both stay silent.
"Why would you feel it is acceptable to sleep with another she-wolf?" I ask the question, but more to myself. "We are not saying that, Ruby is -" My growl at the mention of her name cuts Austin off, but Aiden picks up where Austin stopped. "She is a friend Alora, she needed someone to talk to," and his explanation makes sense but also makes me even angrier 'talk not sleep' Veda sighs and I'm sure we are not going to get anywhere when they obviously don't think they have done anything wrong.
"Talking, I totally understand, but it wasn't just talking, was it?" I look between them. "YES," Aiden shouts making me flinch slightly "NO IT WASN'T, YOU HAD YOUR HANDS ON HER" I shouted back angry that he's raised his voice at me which he's never done before. "It was just talking, but we must have fallen asleep," Austin says quietly, standing up and taking a step in my direction but stops before touching me.
"I'm sorry it wasn't our intention. It got late, and we must have fallen to sleep, we would never consciously do that," and I'm slipping at forgiving them, well Austin, as he's so sincere.
Looking between them, Aiden looked angry, and Austin looked like he's as upset as me.
"Why was she here so late, even as a friend?" I ask, moving my eyes back to Austin, sending the questions his way as he at least seems to be willing to explain.
I know I'm more upset at it being Ruby, but she has been a pain in the ass since I got here, and yes, I know I haven't told my mates about her but still they are in the wrong and I don't get why Aiden is so adamant about keeping that anger in place.
"I don't even know myself. We were busy, and then when she came to us upset, I didn't realise how late it was." but his answer makes me more confused."Why would she even come to you late? How would she know you would be here and not in bed?" but they both look at each other confused and then shrugged their shoulders at me. "We are sorry about being in here asleep like that. We wouldn't do anything to upset you," Austin says again when he's not sure how to answer my question.
"I know you wouldn't do it on purpose, but that doesn't take away my hurt." I try to be strong, but my tears flow.
I put my hands over my face and sob, I have no energy to deal with the last few days, the last week.
I feel the sparks of my mates touch, and I hadn't realised how much I needed it.
I let my emotions out and cry. I wrap my arms around him and take in his scent, letting it envelope me.
Austin let's me cry away all of my anger and hurt, rubbing my back gently and kissing the top of my head.
This is what I needed.
I wait for Aiden to hold me also, but he doesn't. 'Something is wrong,' Veda says, picking up on the strangeness of Aidens' behaviour. 'I have no idea, but whatever it is, he's angry about it.' I state and just snuggle into Austin more.
I stand back but keep my hands on him. He brings his hands to my face, clasping my face and wiping my tears with his thumbs.
"Please don't be angry. Today has run away with us. We should have dealt with everything yesterday," he whispers, leaning down and placing soft kisses on my face.
"I'm sorry also about yesterday." I know we should have talked it out sooner and missed this whole lot of s**t.
Ruby and her f****d up mission of taking my mates but ill never let that happen, yes I'm angry they stayed all night with her but there was nothing on my mates side. They feel nothing for her, not romantically anyway, but that being said, we need some boundaries setting.
"We need to talk everything out and move on from it," I say, and Austin nods his head in agreement, I move back and sit back in my seat.
"I agree that I should have shown the notes when I found the first one but I want to say that I didn't see them as a threat but I will share everything with you from now on." I say, making it clear that I own up to my mistakes, and I'll be trying to do better from this point on.
"We understand why you thought that, but we worry because of the recent unknown threat and we have to know anything that happens to be able to protect you and our pack" Austin states and so we agree to talk things out in the future.
I keep side glancing Aiden, who hadn't moved once in my direction, and his eyes are mainly on the floor, just looking at me for a few seconds at a time.
"Aiden?" I call his name more in question because I can see he's still angry, His hands are clenched, and his jaw keeps ticking.
His eyes move to mine, and he softens. "I'm so sorry," he gives me a small smile and I return it "I need to know this won't happen again" he says quietly and I easily agree, I never want to feel this way again and I won't be as forgiving if it was to happen again. "That is more than fine, I also need to know this won't happen again, that if we are arguing then we talk it out" I ask looking at them both and I instantly feel better.
"agreed beautiful," Aiden agreed, and they both nodded their heads.
"And please, can I ask that she-wolves that might come to the office leaves at a reasonable time and untouched?" and I hear them both chuckle and agree "always," they said as one.
I walk to them both as they stand, and I feel like all is right in the world, I'm safe at home wrapped in both of my mates' arms.
"Come on, let's go to bed," Aiden says, taking my hand, and they both lead me towards the door.
"No more secrets," I vow, feeling so much lighter than I have since finding the first note.
I don't miss the slight tension appearing in both my mates backs.
