Chapter 3

2428 Words
Sage's POV I can't believe everything that has happened to Simone. Listening to her story made me so angry. It took everything in me not to shift and run back over there. How could anyone think it was ok to blame a pup for the actions of their parents? We've had pack members do some horrible things before but we never treated their pups horrible because of it.   Our mother had an orphanage built on our pack lands for pups who's parent's died during a war or were killed for any reason. Halfmoon Pack can definitely kiss an alliance with us goodbye. We frowned upon the mistreatment of pups or any type of abuse.  Situations like this always hit close to home for us. Our mother wasn't originally from our pack. She was the daughter of the Beta from another pack. She met our father during a mating ball. She was abused by her father after her mother's death. The Alpha there knew of the abuse but never put a stop to it. My dad said when she got here she was fragile and untrusting. He said that the abuse her father inflicted on her and the mistreatment from pack members made her put up walls because she never knew if anyone was truly being kind to her or tricking her. She suffered so much pain that she didn't shift to her wolf until she was almost 20. It took time for her to build her strength and to fully trust him. I knew that it would take some time for Simone, but just like my dad didn't give up on my mother, I wouldn't give up on my mate either. "Kill them all!" My wolf Beast growled in my head. "We'll get her revenge. We have to see what she wants to do," I told him. They're lucky if we don't go back there and kill them all. I needed to calm down and calm Beast also. I didn't want to scare my mate. I looked over at her talking to Silas and Sebastian. She was beautiful. Beautiful slightly tanned skin, hair dark as the night, beautiful grey eyes and lips that looked so soft, I couldn't wait to kiss them. Her strawberry cheesecake scent had Beast purring in my head. I never heard him purr so much before. "Her wolf is beautiful," Beast said. "You can link her wolf?" I asked him surprised. "Yes she linked all of us. Mate is amazing." I smiled. I couldn't wait to run with my mate. We've been waiting three years to find her. I felt bad about her not being able to celebrate her birthday. I wanted to do something special to show her we cared and I know exactly who to ask for help. "Mom," I mind linked her. "Yes, sweetheart. We're on our way over to meet Simone." "Today is her birthday. I know its late notice but do you think we can do something for her tomorrow?" "Of course sweetheart. That would be wonderful. Just leave it all to me." I knew I could count on my mom. Even though she was no longer the Luna, she still did a lot of things that the Luna would do. She always said once a Luna always a Luna but she's just keeping the seat warm for our mate.  Simone's POV I looked to the door and I saw a pretty brunette peek her head in. She looked similar to my mates. "Can we come in?" She asked. "Sure," Silas answered her. I watched as she walked in with another woman and a man who I was sure were the parents of my mates. "Hi, Simone. How are you?" The brunette asked me. "I'm Skyler, their sister." She smiled and it made me feel at ease. I don't know how people I had just met were making me feel more comfortable around them than people that I had known my entire life. "I'm Samantha and this is my mate and their father Steven," Their mother introduced and walked over to me. "Can I hug you?" I was caught off guard. I didn't know how to answer her. It was foreign to me. The last time someone hugged me I was 10 years old and that person was my mother. Without waiting for an answer, she pulled me into the warmest hug. I laid my head on her shoulder and began to cry.  "You're home now. You are safe." I didn't know why I was crying but I knew I needed to let it out. The feeling of her rubbing my back and telling me that I was safe brought me so much comfort. When she let me go, she looked at me and smiled. "We stopped by to check that you were ok." "Knock, knock." Dr. Lilly walked in. "Well you look much better," she said walking over to me. "If you are ready, you are free to go. But try to rest as much as possible." I nervously looked around the room. This morning I was prepared to be a rogue and in a huge change of events, I gained a family. They immediately accepted me and I never had that before. But even with all of the words they were giving me, I was still nervous. What if they changed their minds? What if I wasn't good enough? How was I going to be Luna? All of the se thought in my head made me want to run and hide.  Sebastian's hand on my arm relaxed me instantly and brought me out of my thoughts. "Everything is going to be ok," he said to me. "I brought some clean clothes for you to change into," Skyler sat some clothes beside me. "Maybe we can go do some shopping tomorrow." "We'll leave you to change and we'll see you in the morning." Samantha said goodnight to everyone before she, Skyler and Steven left the room. Sebastian helped me out of the bed before showing me to the bathroom. I walked in and got into the shower before getting dressed. Sebastian's POV "We have to take things slow with her Bas," my brother Sage repeated. I already knew this but I wanted to kiss her so badly. Her smell was so amazing sending feelings through my body that I had never felt before. "I know man, you don't have to keep reminding me." "Let's just give her some time to adjust. I asked mom to set something up tomorrow for her since she didn't get to celebrate her birthday," Sage told us. "It could also be a good way for her to meet some of the pack." "That sounds good," Silas started. "We can spend a few days helping her adjust. Then we need to discuss what to do with Halfmoon pack. We didn't stay tonight so they'll be calling soon about an alliance again." "It's not happening," Sage growled. "The way they treated her, they don't deserve an alliance with us." "I have an idea," Silas said. "But right now let's focus on our Luna." Simone walked out of the bathroom and you could tell that she was still nervous. I took her by the hand and led her to the door with Silas and Sage behind me. The packhouse was a little distance from the pack hospital, so we all got into the SUV an Sage drove us over to the packhouse. Once we got out I realized that with everything going on we forgot to think about sleeping arrangements. I wanted to be in the same bed with Simone. I needed to be close to her. My wolf needed to be close to her. But I didn't want her to feel like she had to rush to do anything. "I've arranged a guest room if it makes you more comfortable," Silas told her. Always count on him to be on top of things. "Although I'd much prefer if you stayed the night with us, you being comfortable is much more important." He took the words right out of my mouth. I looked at her and prayed to the moon goddess that she would stay with us instead of alone. "I need to be close to you. To all of you," she answered. "I don't think I'm ready to mate yet but being close to the three of you relaxes me." She put her head down. I put my finger on her chin and tilted her head looking into her eyes. "We would love for you to stay with us. Don't be afraid to tell us how you feel." "There's no rush," Sage told her. "We can wait until you're ready to mate." We led her to the elevator and up to the 4th floor of the pack house which was the Alpha's floor. As we walked she looked around the house in awe. Simone's POV When I got out of the shower all eyes were on me but I didn't feel uncomfortable, just nervous but he good kind. Their eyes weren't filled with hate or disgust but with joy and a little of lust. When we got outside of the pack hospital, I could see a little of the land on the drive over to the pack house. The territory was  much bigger that Halfmoon. I couldn't wait to go on a tour and see everything. We stopped and got out in front of the pack house and wow was it beautiful. It was a huge four story house. The house was a light shade of gray similar to the color of my wolf. When we got inside I was in awe. There was a long staircase of the right side of the house. From the front door, I looked to my left and saw a big room which I assumed must be a common area for pack members. They led me further into the house and we stopped in front of an elevator. I've never heard of a pack house having an elevator but I guess they needed one with how big the house was. I watched as Silas pulled out a card and swiped it before pressing the button for the elevator. We got inside and headed up to the fourth floor. When Silas told me that he arranged a guest room for me, I felt grateful that they didn't expect me to mate with them right away. I wasn't ready for that yet but for some reason I didn't want to be away from them. I guess the mate bond was already hitting me. I was happy to hear them all say that they would be happier if I stayed with them. "This floor is for the Alpha Family," Silas told me as we got off of the elevator. "And this room was designed for when we found our mate. We had it designed to be able to accommodate all four of us after we all came to terms with the fact that we would be sharing a mate."  He opened the double doors and we walked into a huge amazingly beautiful room. There was a huge black four post bed that looked like it could fit 10 people. The sheets were grey and the bed had a huge amount of pillows. I couldn't wait to lay in that bed. One of the windows had a daybed in front of it that looked like it would be a good place to read a book. There were four dressers, a beautiful vanity and one wall was even a full mirror. The entire room was decorated in different shades of grays and blues. I walked over to a set of double doors that led out to a balcony. The view was amazing. "You can change anything that you don't like," Sebastian said from behind me. "It's all so beautiful," I told him. There wasn't anything I would change. This room was amazing. He led me back into the bedroom. "Are you hungry? Do you need anything?" Silas asked me. "No, just a little tired. Can we get ready for bed?" I saw Sebastian's eyes turn black but he quickly recovered. Sage let out a little growl and Storm was prancing around in my head. "Calm down Storm," I told her. I was nervous enough. I didn't need her excitement adding to it. "The bathroom is over here," Sebastian led me to the bathroom. "I can give you one of my shirts to change into until we can get you some clothes of your own. We'll get ready out here."  I walked into the biggest bathroom I had ever seen after Sebastian passed me one of his t-shirts. There was a stand alone shower with glass doors. I could see multiple shower heads from up above. On the other side of the bathroom was a beautiful stand alone bathtub. It was so big. I wanted to climb in right now for a relaxing bubble bath but I will wait for another time. There were four sinks total; two on each side of the bathroom. I nervously put on Sebastian's shirt as I prepared to spend the first night with my mates. I knew we wouldn't be mating tonight but I was still nervous. I was still a virgin and had never slept in the same bed with anyone. I hadn't even had my first kiss yet.  "You will soon," Storm said in my head. I could feel her excitement and it was starting to rub off on me. "Well here goes nothing Storm. The start of our new life." I walked out of the bathroom an my cheeks were flaming at the site before me. Standing by the bed waiting for me were my three mates.  I took a big gulp hoping they couldn't hear it. My eyes scanned over the three muscular bodies in the room. Each of them were standing there almost naked with just their tight boxer briefs on. Only Sage had a shirt on.  On instinct my eyes went lower and my panties instantly got wet. I felt my cheeks getting redder by they second.  Three low growls told me that they could smell my arousal. I looked up and saw three sets of eyes going back from black to their beautiful blue color. They were fighting with their wolves. I ran back into the bathroom to try to calm myself down. How was I going to get through the night if I couldn't even look at them without getting aroused.
