The Lycan Prince & His Tribrid Mate

Chapter 5

Once everyone had left, Betty continued to help Cora while shooting glances at Leo. "So, Cora, do you wanna explain what is going on here?" "Momma, this is Prince Leo, my Mate. Prince Leo, this is my mom, Betty." "Cora, baby, you can stop calling me Prince Leo; the same goes for Aiden. You are my Mate; your family is welcome to do the same." "Cora, you can go and get cleaned up and changed now. Make sure you wear something nice for dinner," Betty told Cora before looking at Leo, "If you follow me, Prince Leo, I will show you to your room so you can freshen up. Oh, Cora, I will send Mia to come to help you." "Okay, Momma." Cora left Leo with her mom and headed to her home. Walking down the path, she heard Mia yell her name. "Hey, Cora, your mom said I needed to come to help you." "Yea, I think she wants you to do my hair." "What do you plan on wearing?" Mia asked as they walked into Cora's house. "Do you remember that dress we got the last time Anthony returned from visiting Grandma in the witch's kingdom?" "Yea, the baby blue one you bought for when you went on your first date with your mate." "Yea, that's the one; I think it would be good for me to wear it tonight in honor of finding my mate." "That's a good idea since he's a prince; I mean, it's not like you two can go on a date in public. Hey, do you still have that purple dress you wore to my birthday party last year?" "Yea, I think it's on the left side of my closet, and it would be kinda hard to go on a date." "Okay, why don't we get started with your hair?" Mia suggested while steering Cora to her walk-in closet, where her vanity was.

When Cora's bedroom door opened, they did a once-over in the mirror after getting dressed. "Cora, honey, dinner is ready, and your Mate and his brother are here. They said they want to escort you to the packhouse themselves," Betty said, walking in, " Oh, by the way, your brother is back for the duration of the Prince's stay." "Anthony is here; when did he arrive?" Cora asked, spinning around to look at her mother." A couple of hours ago, he wanted to give you time to get ready." Cora used her vampire speed and rushed downstairs to the living room where her brother's scent was. "CORA!" Betty yelled as she came down the stairs with Mia. "Let her be, honey. It's been ages since Anthony was in town," Henry said as he came in from outside.

"You love getting on mom's bad side, don't you?" Anthony asked, giving Cora a bear hug. Cora hugged him back before walking over to her Mate. "Wow, you look beautiful, Cora," Leo said while checking her out; Cora noticed this, so she reached up, kissed him on the cheek, and whispered, "You don't look that bad yourself, Prince Charming." Henry started laughing, making everyone look his way with curious expressions. "Cora made a joke; I wasn't trying to listen in." Henry began while backing up into the hallway. "Why don't we head over to the packhouse for dinner?" "Okay, daddy, but just know I would turn off your enhanced hearing if I were you," Cora answered while sending a suggestive wink at Leo. "Eww! I did not come back to watch my sister flirt with the Prince." Watch it, Anthony; Prince Leo is Cora's Mate," Mia informed him as they all walked towards the packhouse. "So, Mia, have you found your mate yet?" Mia laid a hand on Aiden's arm, "First off, Anthony, you know my birthday isn't until tomorrow. Second, you know I'm not your Mate because your birthday is today, just like Cora's; remember you're twins," Mia said in a 'duh' tone. They walked into the packhouse when the smell of Mexican food hit their noses "Ooh, Mexican!" Mia and Cora squealed in delight. They took off, leaving everyone laughing and following behind. When they walked in, they were surprised to see that the hall, otherwise known as the pack dining room, had been decorated had decorated it like a ballroom. Cora and Leo led the way to their table, but Cora froze mid-step when she saw the King and Queen.
