The Majestic rising (Finished)

Finding you

Penelope pov

He was smiling at me. He was confused. People around us started whispering again and I realised I might have done something frowned upon. He started it

"would you like to have dinner with us"

The guy behind him said. I looked from one to another and just nodded with a confused expression. I want more than dinner

"I'm Gabe and this is Liam"

The tall well built man with gray hair said. His eyes were a beautiful amber color not one I had seen before. Liam was almost black at first but dark brown when I looked again. Must have been the lights. He gestured to me to walk with them as Liam stepped aside and I walked behind them.

"I'm Penelope"

I said a little too quietly but before I could repeat it Liam was almost chanting it from in front of me. Like a child wanting to remember something. I smiled. We walked into the death trap also called an elevator and they pushed in a code. I waited and the elevator stopped and opened. So no dinner, then I sighed and walked past them to my own room, I actually looked forward to dinner. For some reason they both appealed to me, I knew this was weird and that I should be more afraid, but my body and the voice in my head was not reacting so… What the hell. I stopped when Gabe talked.

"You don't want dinner with us?"

I could almost hear pain from his voice and Liam looked like a puppy that had been kicked. I point at my door

"I thought you had changed your mind since we were at the rooms"

I say confused, Gabe smiles, Liam let's a breath go.

"roomservice"

Gabe says and points at the door in front of them. And then it clicks for me they want a threesome. I take a deep breath and try to come up with some sort of excuse or explanation for the misunderstanding.

"look in not really into ehmmm.. One night stands"

I say as I look at them. It takes a second.

"but you are our mate"

Liam looked confused, probably not as much as me. With a hint of hurt.

"mate?"

And it looked like the coin landed in their mind

Gabes pov

"mate?"

She says. It takes me a while but I realize she had no f*****g idea about what is happening. She didn't react to the mate and greet. Which was weird. She didn't jump Liam as she was supposed to as a ware-female. I just thought those two combined meant she was not 18 yet. She didn't know. She didn't know.. What was she doing on the 8th floor? She didn't know.

'How is she on this floor? At the mate and greet if she knows nothing about us?'

Liam's voice in my head makes me realize he got it too.

"do you mind me asking where you are from"

She looks at me and back at the door behind herself. As if looking for a way to escape.

"Denmark"

I let out the breath I was holding. Scandinavia. There is only one pack there only one place for myths like us and that is in Norway. Denmark there are non to little and too flat to hide.

"do you know what you are"

I ask and her head whips to me as if she was just told a great secret. She locks eyes with me and shakes her head. I smile and gestures to our door.

"do you want to know"

She takes a minute to choose but ends up coming with us. Hand fidgeting as she walks past me and into the room. I take a deep breath. This is going to be a long night. Alcohol could help.

Liams pov

Having her sit in our room, on our bed was driving me nuts. Her smell was so good, I still could not for the life of me place it.

"so..."

She starts while fidgeting with her fingers. And looking between us. Her sea blue eyes were making me want to jump on her. Her innocent gestures, not scared her smell was unchanged but intriguing was what her eyes looked like.

"what are you?"

She asked and looked at us. Gabe smiled as he handed her the menu for room service. She took it and looked at it, confused. She flipped it over as if the answer to her question would be on it. I wanna be with her. Gabe pushed a chair for me to sit and another for him over to the bed so we were face to face with her. She looked at the meny and up at us.

" order first then we talk"

Gabe has done this so many times now. First me then the rest it was only fitting he took the lead in this conversation.

"ehmm. 57"

She says and gives me the menu

"drinks?"

I ask and she looks at me.

"Fanta please"

I smile. I meant alcohol but I guess we are doing this sober. Not how we usually do this. We order our food and look back at Penelope. God a name I could say forever without tiring.

"so, to answer your question, love. I am a half breed of vampire and succubus"

Gabe starts. She looks at him and sigh

"No kidding" she smiles, I giggle at her comment he was a damn fine man, and in reality he would never be short of a partner. I drift off into my own brain but snap back as Gabe caresses my leg. I look up.

"I'm a lycan. To be specific I'm the lycan king"

She looks at me with an open mouth

"a two headed goat? "

She says and Gabe loses it. He laughs so hard he almost falls on the ground.

"no more like a werewolf"

I state, trying to hold the king back from showing her not to disrespect us. She nodded her head.

"Do you know what you are?"

Gabe asks with tears in his eyes and a hand on his side. She looks at us and shakes her head. Figures. She smells weird too, good but weird.

The food came and we decided to eat in silence.

"Penelope."

I start as I give my plate to Gabe who brings it to the door.

"We are your mates. It is a bond that is like what humans call the red string of fate."

I stop and look as she is nodding for me to continue as she shifts into a more comfortable position in the bed with her legs to her chest and her hands on her knees. I smile and continue.

" Gabe and I. Have been together a long time. And we are not your only mates"

She looked shocked as she looked at Gabe who sat down I was about to continue

"why do you know I'm your mate"

I look at Gabe. This is so confusing to explain.

"Your smell is what is telling Liam that you are his. Or rather his lycan"

He snorts at the memory of her calling the king a goat but continues.

"the smell and when you touch us you will feel tingles and a attraction that makes it like you don't actually want to let go"

Gabe smiles as he says the last thing. When we met he literally would stalk me and when I finally gave after he was stuck to me for about 2 months. I smile at the memory.

"can I try?"

She asks and I look at her. Not something I would have thought she would just out and ask but I'm up for it. When we told TJ this he almost destroyed a whole hotel just to get away from the feeling. He gave in when he first touched me but it was hell to explain. I stand up and sit beside her with little space between us. I lift my hand and she does too. I don't move as she glides her hand closer to mine. As she touches with her index finger on my palm she quickly takes it back and looks from Gabe to me. I stand still and she does it again, but this time she glides her whole hand into mine she looks at our hands the whole time. Letting the tingles work their magic and her curiosity helps a lot. King was having a hard time not marking her here and I was having a hard time holding him in.

'you are doing good king'

Gabe says as she continues to explore the bond. King purred at both the touch of her hand and the remark from mate

'this is weird '

I say back trying to hold as still as possible

'what is my love'

He looks at her hand and face as her body automatically goes closer to me.

'King is just purring, not trying to go out at her. And is relaxing into this'

I smile as her other hand joins in the exploring. She took my hand and looked at it very closely.

"what are you thinking"

Gabe asks her. She keeps looking at it.

"could I.."

She starts but it's as if she is scared and it hurts me. Gabe feels my pain.

"what is it?"

He smiles at her. She looks at him and then at me. She breathes out a big sigh and looks at my hand again.

"can I touch my face with your hand"

I feel relieved she is not afraid. I move my hand toward her face. She closes her eyes as my fingers touch her cheek. She smiles and my thumb goes over her lip. Her eyes open again.

"You are not my only mates? "

She says with a bit of horror in her voice. I stroke her cheek to calm her down and reassure her that we will not harm her. She enjoys our touch and the king loves it.

"there are 7 of us in total"

Gabe says. Her eyes go to him and pull away from my hand. I feel disappointed but she grabs my hand again out of instinct I think. And I relax a bit, our bond is getting stronger and the king feels it too.

"7?"

She asked. We nodded to her and she looked down at my hand and started to fidget with it. Gabe starts feeling restless and moves to sit behind me. Taking his arms around me and hugging me tighter. She looks up at his arms. Gabes face is resting on my back. He feels she is rejecting our mates and it hurts him alot. He has the strongest emotions for all of us. We are his whole world and her denying some of it is making him restless. I can see what she is wanting and it is cute as hell, holding her hand means I have a gateway to her emotions she is not rejecting anything just confused and at the same time intrigued. She does not try to reject the bond but is curious about it, Gabe doesn't know that and I like that he is seeking refuge in me to protect him from harm. I love it. I caught her big beautiful round sea blue eyes. I nod to her and look at his arms. She smiles and touches his hand that is on my stomach. He flinches at her touch but turns his hand so she can hold her hand.
