Sierra's POV
"No, no, no," I kept muttering to myself as he approached. He looked equally as surprised and infuriated with the situation.
Not only was this ill-mannered man my fated enemy, the man I wanted to end more than I wanted to live, I was also mated to him. What truer fuckery was there than this?
My heart sank to my stomach with dread.
"It's an honor to have you here, King Lucas" the freaking Alpha of my own pack bowed! I was so embarrassed.
"Don't let this repeat itself. Where's the girl?" Lucas asked authoritatively, paying no attention to me. His demeanor seemed much more powerful now I knew who he was.
"She's right here," Alpha Maxim gestured towards me but Lucas gazed right past me.
"Where?" He asked genuinely before he met my gaze. "Wait…this?" He pointed at me like I was an inanimate object.
"Yes, I assure you she's the most trusted ally of mine," the Alpha tried selling me. Lucas' eyes raked me with disappointment.
"We both have a lot to lose from this war, you may have the strength and resources but we have the…numbers," Maxim continued, basically begging for him to take me. I stood there like a piece of art waiting to be picked.
Lucas scoffed loudly in disbelief, "we have EVERYTHING it takes to win this war and you know it. I just want to spare my people the pain of war, we've been through that enough."
"Yes, yes. We leaders know these things."
Lucas looked at him despicably and said, "You're no leader."
There was a moment of awkward silence which felt like forever before Lucas broke it. "Fine it's only for 6 months, I guess I can manage."
"Manage?" I blurted out.
He turned back to me and without blinking said, "Yes, manage an ill-mannered, bad-tempered girl from the streets."
"Do you know who the f**k I am?" I asked, remembering that I was Sienna Callister now.
"I do. And I don't care." He said with a strong glare. I was stubborn but this man had something about him that aggravated and at the same time weakened me.
The lawyer took the papers I had placed on Shae's desk and said, "I'll get this processed," before they left us in the lobby.
"We should get going before dark, it's a long way home." He said as he turned to walk away.
"We?" My eyebrows creased in confusion.
"Yes, we're going home today."
"Why today?"
Lucas lightly rubbed his forehead and let out an exasperated sigh. "We'd have to give a speech by tomorrow, to subdue the people's rage".
"Oh!"
A deposit was left with Shae and after discussing the details with her, I was able to pay my debts and Kelly was released. I spoke to her about everything on the phone, including the mate bond, before I left with Lucas. Her excitement about the matter manged to give me courage.
The drive to his kingdom was awkward. Mia, my wolf, hadn't stopped whimpering since the lobby and all she wanted to be close to him. It wasn't easy trying to subdue her, she was just as stubborn as I was.
"What're you staring at?" His powerful voice broke off Mia's imaginations.
"Nothing," I hadn't even realized I was staring. He refused to look at me still. Mia almost cried. I had to remind her that this was the man who had killed my parents, but she wouldn't listen.
The moon goddess had played a dirty trick on me. Mating me to the man I hated most and making him irresistible to Mia. Perhaps, if he were a little uglier…
"Are we just going to ignore it?" Mia blurted out. I wanted to kill her!
The most embarrassing part was that he didn't even reply, but I could see that clench in his jaw.
'Fine then,' I thought, 'let's ignore it.'

"Woah," was the only word which kept escaping my lips as we made our way from the luxurious estate, into the main mansion the next morning. Everything about this place screamed wealth in a thousand different languages.
"Am I going to be staying here too?" I asked, my heart doing a few backflips.
"Of course, we'll need to put on a decent enough show." He answered curtly and moved ahead of me into the sitting room. As I approached the room, an overpowering scent consumed me, almost throwing me off my balance.
"Why the hell am I seeing this in my room…?" A dark, 6ft work of art appeared, walking down the staircase, holding a bra with the tip of his fingers. He stopped when he saw me.
My chest clenched and my wolf began to act up again. 'What's it this time?' I asked her.
"Mate!" She shouted excitedly as my heart felt giddy. I caught Lucas staring at me, confused. My hands flew to my mouth. I had said it aloud!
But what the hell?! How could I be mated to two men at the same time?
Mia continued to jump happily and it was hard calming her down. She clearly liked her new mate, who could blame her? He was all shades of hot!
"Why're you making such a big deal out of nothing? It's only Vanessa's, Luthor," I heard a familiar voice say as a blonde celebrity slowly walked down to snatch the bra from sexy Luthor. I looked closer before that familiar scent filled my nose and I knew who it was, Louis!
"The next time you bring one of your whores to my room will be the last time you step a foot into this building." Luthor warned with a face grimaced with both anger and disgust.
My eyes instantly widened, almost popping out of their sockets. What the hell was Louis doing here?! And that was his exact expression when his eyes met mine.
"Sierra?" I heard him say and my blood ran cold. Of course, he knew it was me, he had known the two of us for over 5 years now. s**t! I was truly f****d.
But foolish Mia had nothing better to do than to keep restless. It seemed quite different though and as I continued to stare at Louis in fear of what he might say next, I felt it and the next thing I heard from Mia was, "MATE!"
This had to be nothing but a mad joke from the moon goddess! Not only was I mated to three brothers at once, one of them was about to blow my freaking cover and ruin everything.
"We're in trouble, Mia," I said to my wolf, "and in a whole lot of it…"
