Rocky’s POV
I wake up before my alarm, I guess it’s because I’m feeling nervous about going to the pack house today. I need to go though as it’s the only way I’m going to be able to work as I need to use Elijah’s laptop. The sun is only just starting to come up so it’s a nice dark orange colour outside. I head to my kitchen to make a hot chocolate to go with my morning fag. I left all the boys asleep in my front room, I didn’t want to disturb them by going out onto my balcony as I would need to walk through the front room for that so the kitchen will have to do. I’ll open the windows so it should be fine. I jump up on to my kitchen side, open the window whilst sipping my drink and spark my fag. I can’t help but think of last night. Things nearly got way out of hand. I get why they got so annoyed but punishing me, was there really any need for that. The thing is though, I enjoyed it. I liked it and I couldn’t believe I did. It was weird and I could tell Elijah was liking the fact I liked it. Only made it worse for me though. I was there to be punished so he spanked me harder. That will be the last time I get cocky during a punishment. I laugh thinking about it to myself.
Roman’s POV
I’m surrounded by my brothers snoring, it’s driving me nuts. We all started of on the sofa last night but I couldn’t hack it so I moved to the floor. I’m gonna have to sweeten Rocky up as I ain’t doing that every night. I start re thinking about what Elijah was telling me last night when he punished Rocky. It pained me knowing she was getting punished but it had to be done. I wasn’t expecting for him to come in and tell me she enjoyed it though. I must admit I did laugh proudly realising she likes that kinda stuff. I then realised Elijah wouldn’t of then took it easy on her and he confirmed he didn’t. I didn’t like that idea of that but then again if it was me I would of done the same thing.
I can hear Rocky moving about in the kitchen, I decide to make my way to her. I so want to see what she looks like in the mornings. All natural with no make up. I’m literally wearing yesterday’s jeans with no top. I get to the kitchen and she’s just sitting on the side with one leg up resting her head on it whilst having her fag. I can’t help but smile, she looks amazing with her thick, curly hair falling around her face. “Morning, gorgeous.” I whisper at her not want to wake the others up as I just want a little time with her to myself. “Morning.” She replies to me with a cute smile. I walk over, put my arm around her and give her a kiss on her forehead. I spark up a fag and can’t help but just feel complete. Like there’s nothing else I need right now just me and Rocky, and my brothers of course.
“What time was we heading back to mine?” I ask her knowing she needs to borrow one of our laptops for work or something. “Well normally I would have to be at work for nine in the morning so any time before then I guess.” She replies to me. I can’t help but notice she seems nervous. “It’s four in the morning now. Your nervous, I can tell. I’m going to leave to go to the pack house. I’m going to grab my laptop and you can use it hear. Don’t worry about the internet I can hot spot my phone.” I say to her. Hoping this will make her feel a bit better. “You would do that for me? I don’t mind going to the pack house.” She replies. I can tell she doesn’t want to go to the pack house though and to be honest I don’t really want her going there either. We haven’t marked her. Although we are Alphas and we are mated to her I don’t want people thinking she is fair game. Then again I don’t particularly like her living here. It’s too rough and it’s dangerous. At least at the pack house I can control everyone once they realise she is my mate. I chip my fag out giving her a kiss on the cheek before I make my way back into the front room to get dressed and head back to mine.
Rocky’s POV
I sit back leaning against my cupboards, I’m still trying to take all of this in. I guess I never thought about being mated to an alpha let alone three of them. I smile to myself though thinking about how sweet they all actually are. I chip my fag out and decide to take a quick shower and get ready before the other boys wake up.
I come out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel with wet hair. I sit down on my floor in front of my mirror and start doing my hair and make up. By the time I’ve finished making myself look half decent it’s about half five so I decide to get dressed. I have no idea what to wear today. Normally for work I have to dress smart casual but I’m working from so I guess I can dress down a little bit, not by much though I still want to impress the guys. I decide on a short sleeved turtle neck, so it’s like a vest but goes up to my neck and it’s a light grey colour. I match it with a pair of low rise jeans and a cute belt. I put my slippers on and decide to make my way back out to the kitchen. I can hear the guys snoring still. Roman should be back soon though so I decide to start boiling the kettle to make him a cup of tea ready for when he gets back and just as I Finnish poring the water I hear someone at my front door. Of course it was Roman with his laptop for me. “How did you get in? I didn’t hear the buzzer.” I ask him out of curiosity. “Front door to the block is broke. I don’t like you being here it’s not safe.” He replies to me. I just role my eyes at him. To me that’s normal, something crazy is always happening down here. “Sugar?” I ask him gesturing at his tea. “Two please.” He replies with a smile.
“Morning.” I hear looking at Elijah and Millow walking in. I’m not too sure who said it though as they came walking in at the same time. “Morning. Tea?” I ask both of them with a smile. “Yes please. Two sugars.” They both say at the same time. I giggle and make them both a tea. Elijah picks me up and puts me back on the kitchen side handing me my fags whilst Millow spark a light for me to smoke. The boys then jump up to, Elijah next to me, Millow next to my sink as there wasn’t enough room and Roman just stands leaning against my closed kitchen door as were all smoking and I didn’t want the whole flat to smell of cigarettes.
Elijah’s POV
“What work needs to be done today then?” I ask Rocky. “I have some meetings I need to plan and a report to write up.” She replies. “Very interesting.” I say back to her smiling. It amazes me how some people manage with very little but Rocky, she doesn’t even care it’s like she doesn’t see her life as hard. “I’m gonna start in a minute actually once I’ve booked the meetings in and finished my report I won’t have nothing else to do. One of the benefits of the office being open I guess.” She says to me smiling. I know her managers a bit of a d**k. I’ve heard rumours about him and I made him manager to make matters worse. Rocky jumps down and walks of into the front room with Roman so he can set up the laptop for her.
Millow’s POV
“ I’m thinking of another shopping trip today.” I say to Elijah. “Oh yeah, what do you need this time?” He replies to me. “I’m thinking of getting Rocky her own laptop and a couple other bits I’ve noticed she needs.” I say back to Elijah. He nods in agreement with me. Rocky does have some nice stuff in her flat but she does need a lot of things. One of the first things I’m buying will be a bolt for that front door though. I look at the time and it’s just gone six in the morning so I still have a couple hours before the shops even open.
I decide to head out down to the bakers. My brother Elijah told me it’s where she gets her favourite hot chocolate. I walk in deciding to get us all some breakfast and hot chocolate so I find out what Rocky’s obsession with it is. “Morning Alpha.” Barry, the owner says to me. One of the perks being Alpha I know almost everyone in the area, we have to know everyone it’s what part of being Alpha is. “Morning.” I reply to him. I decide to start up a conversation. Since Rocky comes here almost everyday he must know her. “I found my mate Barry.” I say to him. “Oh congratulations.” He replies with a big smile. “Rocky her name is. I don’t suppose you know her do you?” I ask him. “Oh yes, she comes here nearly every morning. Such a sweet girl.” He tells me. He then starts to go on about how she had a difficult upbringing but was reluctant to tell me the details. I understood and I was glad of his loyalty towards my girl. He starts to tell me how well she’s done for herself though. I smile, I am proud of her actually, giving her past she has done really well. I grab the food and drinks and head back.
Roman’s POV
I walk to the front door to let Millow up and instantly my face lights up. “Your a life saver!” I say to him as he hands me breakfast and a hot chocolate. We both walk out to the kitchen then Elijah walks in taking his and Rocky’s breakfast. “Listen Rome, me and Elijah are thinking of doing a little shopping trip today for Rocky but I don’t want you to tell her. Think you can keep her occupied whilst we go out?” Millow asks me. “To be honest she’s been on her phone to people non stop since you left it shouldn’t be a problem.” I reply back to him. “One thing though, I over heard her talking about some of the children not having a lot of stuff clothing wise. Maybe we need to look into that manager Elijah employed a bit more. I’m not liking the sound of that guy. We sorted enough funding for all this.” I say to him. He just nods at me and tells me he will have a word with him.
Times getting on it’s around ten now so both my brothers head out on there shopping trip and I sit down next to Rocky on the sofa with my arm around her. She seems tensed. “Everything ok?” I ask her. “There’s just not enough funding.” She replies to me looking all panicked. “Funding for what? We sort the funding out every year. It’s coming up for our yearly review again soon, is there anything you need us to do or change?” I say back to her. I don’t want her to know I’m suspicious about her manager and that me and my brothers will be looking into him. “It’s not so much the children in care that’s the issue. It’s what happens when they leave care. They have no where to go and they all just turn to crime because they can’t get jobs to pay bills and it’s just chaos.” She tells me rubbing her face getting all stressed. I guess I never really paid attention to what happens to them once they turn eighteen as technically they’re an adult. “Give me a list, I have a meeting next week I will raise any concerns you have and try to come up with a solution.” I tell her. She just looks at me and sparks up another ciggy.
Rocky’s POV
I’m still sitting on the sofa next to Roman. I’m thankful he wants to help but I’m kind of pissed as it’s his fault. If he had done his job properly this wouldn’t be happening. I don’t want to say that to him though, I will tell him my concerns as I do want all of this sorted, the system just doesn’t work. I guess there is only so much people can do to help other people and I can’t save every kid. I’de like to try though and it’s not really all his fault. I mean he could do more but so could everyone.
I finish typing my report and I booked all the meetings I had to this morning so I text my manger telling him all this and asking if there was anything else that needed to be done then I emailed him over my report. He gets back to me shortly after telling me it all looks great and I’m done for the day. Not bad I guess finishing at eleven. “Where did the others go?” I ask Roman just realising Elijah and Millow aren’t here. “Just back to the pack house, they had some business to attend to.” Roman replies to me.
“You keep looking at me like you want to ask me something?” I say to Roman. All day he’s been staring at me with this weird look on his face. He still looks cute though. “You’re so invested in your job. In them kids, why?” He asks me. “If not me then who else?” I reply to him. “I’ve lived in this flat my whole life. I’ve lived alone since I was twelve. Only my neighbour looked out for me no one else. I loved my mum but she made a lot of mistakes and I should have been taken from her but people don’t care. No one cares if it’s not there business so if I don’t help these kids then no one else will.” I explain to him. He just looks at me and smiles. I can tell he’s thinking something I just don’t know what.
