ARIA'S
Right at the moment, I am holding myself to mark my mate. We are currently in my room while I pace back and forth in front of her. She's been here since last night's event because of some d**k head son of Alpha Niel.
"Hey, could you stop? You are making me dizzy this early in the morning. Calm down please." I looked at her.
"How can I calm down if both of us are here?" she looked at me confused.
"What do you mean? Aren't I meant to be in your room? You are my mate and you didn't even make a move to me, marking I mean."
I was to say something when I smelled another intoxicating aroma that wafted my nose, "The heck is this? Another one?" I went to the door and opened it. No one is outside but I can smell Lotus.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Stay where you are!" I ordered and she did stay still on my bed where she is sitting.
I followed the smell and it brought me in front of one of my friend's room, "Oh Goddess! You've got to be kidding me!" I opened the door to see Rae fixing her hair, her body suddenly went stiff when I looked at her. I felt the same thing happened last night when I save my 'mate' who is currently in my room.
"Yes, Alpha? To whom do I owe your presence in this magnificent morning?" she asks when she regains her posture. But instead of answering I walked towards her and starts sniffing.
"You! Did you use any perfume or potion to make yourself smell like a Lotus flower?"
"What? No! Why would I do that?"
"Okay? Answer me this, did you felt butterflies on your stomach when you saw me?"
"Y-yes." she bowed her head.
"Oh, Goddess! Why give me two? Ugh!" I looked at Rae, "My office after breakfast. " she just nodded so I left.
"I see someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed?"
"Couch Frake, I slept on the couch," I said glaring.
"Why on earth did you sleep on the couch? You have a bed and a mate. I thought you are going to mark her?"
"That's the thing I didn't mark her. I let her sleep on my bed and me, on my couch, all night, I didn't even get enough sleep because Ruby keeps howling inside my head. Nothing happened. Now I have a bigger problem."
"And that is?"
"Meet me in my office after breakfast. All of you. Fetch my mate and bring her to breakfast, entertain her." I said sternly and went straight to my office. I need to talk to my Grandma.
FRAKE'S
I was lost in words when Aria left me hanging in the hall. She found her mate but hold back and didn't mark her as her own. Mostly, all Alpha who found their mate for the first time mark them on the first night. But she held back. I know Aria is not new to s*x because of Freya. Is she missing her? Something is wrong. Definitely wrong.
I went to Aria's room to fetch her 'mate' and brought her to breakfast but was shocked by the voices inside the room. Did aria go straight to her office or her bedroom? Why am I hearing her voice? I knocked on the door to make sure if she is inside. The voices are gone and the door was opened by a petite she-wolf. She is smaller than me, about Aria's height, she has brown hair and black eyes, matched with fairly white skin. Not bad.
"H-how may I help you?" she shyly asked.
"Is Aria there? I heard her voice."
"No, I'm all alone here."
"What is your name?"
"Bianca Lorde Osil, why?" She answered.
"Uhm... It's that she asked me to bring you to the packhouse's cafeteria to eat breakfast, she won't be joining us because Aria has some important work to do." I saw her eyebrows frown.
"Why didn't she fetch me herself? I am her future Luna, am I right?"
"You are, but her work as an Alpha is important that there are times she can't join us in such gatherings. I hope you understand." she nodded.
"I want to talk to her. Where is she?"
"She is currently talking to her Grandma, the mother of the Late Alpha Timothy Hendrick." She just stares at me.
"Please tell her to fetch me herself. I won't tolerate such things for--"
"I am sorry but I won't follow your orders just because you are my cousin's mate, you are not yet the Luna of this pack so your rank will remain the same before you two met. Also, I won't tolerate such a bitchy attitude for this pack needs a caring Luna, not a demanding one. If you will please follow me or stay there and starve. If you change your mind you know where the cafeteria is." I said and left. I mind-linked Aria about what happened. She isn't furious luckily.
Not that long, Bianca followed me to the cafeteria and took our breakfast with the others. I mind-linked all of them except Aria's mate to be at my cousin's office after breakfast. I really have a bad feeling about what Aria is going to discuss with us after this.
After breakfast, I ask one of the guards to be with Aria's mate until our meeting is finished. I also told him to keep her away from every restricted area she might go into. I don't want any more trouble as it is. I know I shouldn't judge but my guts are restless ever since last night.
ARIA'S
"So what's with the sudden meeting?" Aya asked, "And why are you covering your nose?"
"Because on-, no three of you smells like flowers and it's making me dizzy," I answered.
They smelled and asked each other if they used perfume or not, Rae is not talking and just looking away suddenly interested in the books sitting on my shelves.
"It is not perfume and only I can smell it. Now, I want you to tell me if I am giving off a different smell."
Rae, Imane, Aya lower their heads, I sighed and sat on my chair behind my desk, "Oh, Goddess of Moon, why give me too many mates? This never happened before, please don't tell me there are more coming."
"Wait, what?" Frake can't believe what I just have uttered, "But you have a mate already, right?"
"Turns out I have more than one, so we need to sort this all out. I need your help guys, please before I decided to mark them all. Ruby is happy about this and I am not. I also can't believe I have such a womanizer wolf." I heard Ruby howled in response, "She is howling right now and it's making my head hurt."
Everyone went silent and think. I hope we can solve this one before the mating season came.
