The Queens Rise

Chapter 4

Edwards P.O.V. 

We stepped out of the SUV and I took her hand on instinct like I had done it a million times before but this was the first time. It was late I had called my father and told him I had found my second chance mate. And asked if he could help get my house ready for us. We walked into the home he and my mother were waiting in our living room. My mother's face lit up when she saw Lucy and ran over to her and hugged her. My mother said," my name is Jaclyn and I am Edward's mother this is his father Deacon we are so glad to meet you, Lucy".  As she let go of her and smiled at me "she's prettier than in my visions son," my mother said to me. Lucy had a questioning look on her face. I looked at Lucy and told her my mother was a hybrid witch she nodded her head in understanding. Just then the door flew open and Keagan asked "where do we put her stuff alpha." I responded with on the top floor that's our floor then there was him the gamma and about three omegas following him with boxes of Lucys stuff. They all complained as they knew there were three flights of stairs to go up and down over and over again. At that time I mind linked my 9 brothers and they all came running to help unpack the trucks it only took about 15 minutes after that. I told everyone good night and we walked upstairs to our room. I opened the door and Lucy gasped again. 

Lucy's P.O.V.

He opened the door to what he said was our room and I gasped again. It was beautiful the floors were dark hardwood the walls were a gorgeous shade of dark red which is my favorite color there was a huge California king-size bed in the middle of the room and I automatically understood why he said the top floor was ours. We had a giant walk-in closet I mean it was a whole room in and of itself. He took my hand and lead me to what I found out was our bathroom and again it was huge there was a giant shower with two heads in it and a bench two toilets, a vanity for my makeup, and a wall to wall bathtub big enough to fit the both of us in. There was a wall between toilets where the shower was even though it was glass. The toilets were like their own little rooms they had doors and everything. I laughed and asked him " why does it look like the toilets are in their own rooms?" To which he responded with "We are mates but we need some privacy when it comes to going to the restroom." The one on that side is yours seeing as it's next to the vanity. I looked up at him and said when did you build this place? He looked and had a look of pain on his face. I started to build it as a birthday present to Amanda but Chad killed her as we broke ground to I decided to build it to my liking instead of hers. It has been sitting here for the last 9 years collecting dust. When I called my dad and told him that I had met you tonight he called all of our omegas and my brother's mates to help clean it up and my mother went and got our bedding out of storage and washed them he told me. "How many of your brothers have mates," I asked him.  All of them he told me and one of my brothers actually mated to twins. I was shocked I heard that was possible but never witnessed it before. I looked at him and I couldn't believe what I said next. "Would you like to take a bath with me?" I asked. He had a shocked look on his face and said " I would love to I will run the bath you find the box with your stuff in it." I walked into our bedroom and found the box that said bathroom on it took it with me and put it on the counter. Found it I said and as I looked up Edward had taken his shirt off to reveal his 6 pack he was so pale which was kind of odd for a werewolf but so were his parents.  He had red hair and he stood at least 6'9 I stood 6'0 even and I had to look up at him.

Edwards P.O.V. 

Lucy had asked me if I wanted to take a bath with her and I was shocked but I said yes. I told her to find her bathroom box she went into our bedroom. I started running the water. I got it to the perfect temperature as I stood up. I took off my shirt she walked in the door and set a box on the counter. She looked up and it appeared that she was studying my chest. I was pail for a wolf but so were my parents our pack originated in Ireland and both my parents were full-blooded Irish all of us kids were red-headed and very white.  I began to walk over to Lucy I picker her up and sat her on the counter next to her box and began to take off her hells I don't understand how she walked in them. I gently took her off the counter and realized I had to look down at her. Now when she the heels on she had to be like 6'6 I stand at 6'9 and she had met me at my chin now she was more than a head shorter than me. I looked at her and all I could say at the moment was "how tall are you doll." She looked at me confused and said " I'm 6'0 even why honey?" Well, I'm 6'9 I responded she laughed and said I figured. She started to try and take her dress off herself but couldn't reach the clasp on her neck. "Would you like help I asked" she was hesitant but turned around? I undid the clasp and unzipped the dress that went from her neck down to the small of her back. And then I saw the long scar that went down her left side like someone had tried to kill her and I gasped I tried to hold it in but I couldn't. "What the HELL happened to your back Lucy?" I yelled.  It was the first time I had used her name. I had been calling her doll up until this point. She looked so scared and I automatically felt bad. " I'm so sorry doll I didn't mean to scare you. I kissed her on her four head and she broke down. s**t, I ruined this moment  I thought to myself. She curled up on the floor and I sat right next to her and took her into my arms. "You don't have to tell me until your ready doll I'm so sorry I just wasn't prepared to see that. "I know and I didn't know how to warn you, honey," she said.
