The Majestic rising (Finished)

Square 1

Tyrus Pov:

I have been wondering about what to do with the hole marking and mating thing. Penelope was clearly most connected with me, so having her mate and being marked by others before me was a little hurtful, I was still happy that the others were settling down more that she was marked by two, but I could also feel our bond lacking a little more.

“Mind if we crash here?” Gabe was carrying Penelope onto the bed, putting her down. “Always welcome” I said back at him, smiling. He himself was glowing the afterglow and his smell was all over her and hers on him. He had placed her over my arm, pretty much into my embrace and even though I wanted my mate Gabe to have this clearly important after mating time and cuddle, I could not for the life of me not hug her into me. Hearing the deep breath she took as she took in my scent was lovely. Gabe kissed her shoulder as he went to dry himself up with a towel I had over a chair. I kissed her forehead and then just lightly rubbed her lips. I was almost certain that she was asleep already but as I took my face back, she tilted her head upward to me, and the little smile that played on her lip told me that she was not asleep just yet. “greedy little mare” I said to myself. “not as greedy as Gabe” she said a little playful laugh in her voice. As Gabe came over and looked at me, I stretched over her and kissed Gabe, his eyes were glittering and was joyful. I felt stupid for being jeuoles. “Sleep love” Gabe said, and as if he was using magic, I could hear her breathing becoming heavy and her heartbeat slowing. I was looking at the calm sleeping face when Gabe got up and around the bed, he laid behind me and hugged into my body. I turned to my back and he placed his head on my shoulder. “Im sorry Ty” He said. “why?” I asked and kissed the top of his head. “I just realized that the order is all wrong. That if it had gone like it usually does, you would have been the first to mark and mate her, considering your bond” He stroked my belly, and the T-shirt I was wearing was folding itself up and exposing my skin. “I know” I said, not really knowing what I was supposed to say or do. “Sorry” I heard from the door, I glanced up and the little poppy was standing, pretty much with his tail between his legs. The only thing I could do was smile at him, he came in and shortly after the 4 others were in the room too. “SO. What can i***t one and two do so you get happy again?” TJ asked, and I wanted to say something, come with a way where my heart did not feel like it was being ripped apart, by the contradicting feelings of being closest to her by bond but not closest by being her actual mate. “Even though I want to mate too,” TJ started, stroking her hair. “I think the two of you should probably go on a picnic?” He was pretty much just talking to himself or speaking his thoughts out loud, but the picnic was not a bad idea, if she was in on it too. “It's okay,” I said, smiling at all of them. “In the end, i'm not the one that is the most dominant or” I wanted to finish but I didn't actually want to finish the sentence, “Ty” Gabe said, I snaked my arm out from underneath her and got up from the bed. I felt suffocated and wanted to go out. Be me. “Look out for her, yeah?” I looked at all of them. “I'll go last. Like always” I said. I could feel the pain in them but at this point I was actually more hurt then them, I was tired of being taken as the less important person. “ty” Cyllic followed me. “What do you mean?” He had grabbed my arm, I bent down and kissed his head. “You three can mate and mark before me, that way…” I started, “What do you mean by that?” Gabe came out and the others followed, Penelope was still asleep and lucky for that. “What did you mean by always?” Liam was fuming. “see it like this pup” I started looking at all of them. “If anyone had marked TJ before you. what would have happened?” I looked at him, he was getting more and more pissed. “I will take that back, because if anyone was to mate and mork someone whom you had the strongest bond with, you would have torn them from them.” He was walking closer and closer to me. dominating me, expecting me to submit. But today, I was not going to bow down to the great king. “Say that again” King was surfacing. “You are a spoiled brat. I got her back, I was there when she opened up, I have been pleading with her to accept and try this out, I am the one who knows her the best. I am the one breaking apart after smelling two of my mates on her, because god knows that The big King Liam and the strong Gabe would NOT LET SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY HURTING BE WITH THEIR MATE FIST!” I was crying and yelling at the end, Liam calmed down and Gabe was stumped. “But only your feelings matter right?” They could not answer, hell they would not know how to. “She knows nothing about any of this, not about anything. Even if I wanted to be mad at her for mating with you two first, I CAN'T. cause she does not know what kind of pain it causes for the one being imprinted upon to have them torn from them.” Silence followed, I looked at all of them. “You can all go first. Lord knows I am NEVER the first choice of anyone” I was done, my feelings were spilling and everyone said nothing. “ty” Alex's voice was breaking. “What? want me to stroke your back and tell you that your feelings of sadness takes presents over mine.” Alex shrugged back. “I'm done. leave a note when you have all Mated and marked her. So that I can end this pain.” I was turning around to go out. when Gabe said something. “But I brought her to you” He was not apologetic like this was some grand romantic gesture. “Yes but how many times had you been with her first? How many times has she had an orgasme without me there?” I was yelling, and that is when I saw her in the doorway. “Go to bed Penelope '' I said, a little more stoic than I thought was even possible at this point. “Am I a thing to you Tyrus?” She asked. I could not help but smirk. “Believe me, if you were an object to me, it would not hurt this f*****g bad. Go mate and mark the others and come to me when you like. If that is even gonna happen.” I felt empty. I was thinking that the bond would break but it did not. I turned around and left. Them yelling was not going to happen. When outside I shifted into my own body, and ran into the forest.

Penelope pov:

I stood there looking at a hallway where someone important was, but no longer is. “What happened?” I asked, still looking towards where he disappeared. “Its nothing” Liam said, the pain in my chest was mine, the feeling of indifference was his. “What do you mean nothing?” I said, angry at his way of reacting. “He will come back,” TJ said, and walked towards the living room. They all left the hall and honestly what I had witnessed was not okay in any way. I stomped into the living room, all doing something different. “WHAT THE f**k JUST HAPPENED?” I yelled out, TJ and Alex flinched at my voice. “Do not talk like that in my house” Liam said, I was pissed. “Guess I'll just have to leave your house then” I said, it got his attention. “that is not going to happen '' He said through gritted teeth. “Try me. Start talking or I will walk” I looked him straight in his eyes. “You can't be mated and marked.” Gabe said a little too afraid of the way I was talking. I smiled. “only half though,” I said. They all flinched and looked at me. “what did you say?” Alex stuttered out. “I have not marked either of you two.” I said. Liam took a step back, brushed his neck. “And believe me, if you all dont start talking. It will not happen” I had found out that these studid idiots were more prone to threats then to talking as actually adults. “I'm going to ask one more time. What was Tyrus talking about?” TJ stood up from the chair he was sitting on. “You know about the bond you feel with all of us?” I nodded, I had felt the bond some were pulling more than others. “Well, normally the one with the strongest bond going both ways is referred to as an imprint.” all I was seeing there was a baby chick walking behind a dog because it was the first being it had seen after hatching. “Well your strongest bond is with Ty. But because you mated and was marked by Gabe and Liam first, Ty is feeling the pain from not having mated and marked you yet. Like you are being torn away from him” I was stomped, this was an actual thing and noone cared to f*****g tell me. “And you all knew?” I asked, TJ and Alex looked to the floor. Cyllic was not facing me and Liam and Gabe had the audacity to ignore me. “Cyllic” I said, he flinched and slowly looked at me. “Did you all know that Ty would be in pain if I was mated and marked by someone before him?” Cyllic looked at Gabe and Liam, that was my answer. “You know, where I grew up, withholding and lying is pretty much the same thing” I took a deep breath. I was going to say something but decided against it. I turned and walked out of the room, I roamed the castle a bit before making any drastic choices. I went to the office, no one was in. I wrote a letter and took it with me to the place where Ty had found me the last time. I placed it there and went to the entrance of the castle. “You there voice? it's been a while” I said out loud but in a whisper. I am here, I was just sleeping She said. I nodded. Want to go home again? I nodded again, TJ and Gabe came out to the front of the castle. “what do you think you are doing love?” Gabe asked, had arms crossed and a sour look on his face. TJ was mortified. “Sorry TJ, But this time it's not because of you. And you are welcome to come along?” TJ’s eyes lit up. He walked over to me and grabbed my hand. “Gabe, when you get my mate back, you know the one I will mark first. you can send him to my home, he knows where it is.” I was feelingless, he was pissed but before he could say anything. We were out of there.
