Mated to the Alpha and His Brother?

Chapter Three

Luca’s POV

I finish putting on my black suit and look at myself one last time before heading out. Aria linked me saying that her and Aria were about to head down, so I want to be at the bottom the stairs waiting for my Princess. As I head to the stairs, I see Jake, Elle’s brother heading down too.

“Hey dude, are you ready for tonight?” He asks.

“Yeah, excited and nervous, I guess. How about you?”  

“Same. I just don’t want my mate to hate me when she finds out that I was a little too friendly with some of these she-wolves.” – He says nervously.

“Hey, she’s your fated mate. She’ll get over it. Just make sure she knows that it would never happen now that you have her and I am sure she’ll be fine.” – I answer calmly.

He just nods and we head to the bottom of the stairs. I tell him I’m waiting for Aria and Elle. He says he’ll wait for me, too nervous to go in alone.

I answered him saying, “Haha, that’s fine we can all walk in toget-” when it hit me. Lavender and honey. The most intoxicating thing I have ever smelt in my life. I was about to follow the smell when I looked up and locked eyes on the most beautiful girl in the world.

‘MATE. MATE. MATE’ - Cole yelled in my head.

Elle. Beautiful, sweet, sassy Elle. My mate. My love. She was MINE! Our eyes connected and I could tell the recognition hit her. She ran down the stairs and jumped into my arms yelling “MINE!” at the same time as me.

Elle’s POV

Aria and I were headed downstairs where I knew Luca would be waiting when it hit me. Pinewood and musk. The most mouth-watering scent I have ever been victim to. I knew it was my mates’ scent, it was too addicting for it not to be. I look down the stairs and lock eyes with the boy I have always hoped and prayed would be my mate. Luca. Sweet and sexy Luca. Clara is yelling in the back of my head, but I didn’t need her to tell me because as soon as we locked eyes I knew right away. Luca was my mate.

I ran faster than I ever have before and jump into his waiting arms. “MINE!” we both say at the same time. As he spins me around the most earth-shaking growl erupts throughout the packhouse. “Brother you have two second to put my mate down before I rip you to shreds.” Confused I turn my head and lock eyes with none other than Nick. Except, when I locked eyes with him the same feeling, I just had with Luca happened again with him. How is this possible? How are they both my mates? This doesn’t make sense. No, I only want Luca!

“Baby I don’t understand, what is going on?” another growl came from Nick as Luca pulled me behind him. “Nick – she’s my mate too.” Wait he knew! “Wait you knew that you guys would have the same mate?” I questioned. He looked at me with fear when he nodded and quickly said that they weren’t 100% sure that it would actually be the case.

“Luca how am I supposed to be both your mates? I can’t be a Luna and the Gamma female.”

“Baby in this case you would only be the Luna.” I look at Luca with confusion written all over my face. And then I began to panic. Wait does that mean I would have to only be mates with Nick and give up Luca. I would never choose Nick over Luca. I would never choose a man-w***e over my sweet Luca. He sensed my panic and hugged me tight to him. “Luca what do you mean I would only be the Luna. I would never choose him over you.” I whisper in his ear so only he could hear me.

He laughed and said, “Do you really think I would ever let that happen, love? No, you wouldn’t have to choose him over me or me over him. We would both become Alpha and you would be our Luna.” I sigh in relief, but still scared as to what this all means.

“Now brother if you are done hogging our mate, I would like a word with her. Alone.” I look up at Luca and he gives me his heart stopping smile. “Are you okay with that Princess?” I reluctantly nod at him, not wanting him to worry about me. He lets go of me and walks into the ballroom with Aria and my brother. Leaving Nick and I alone.

Nick’s POV

I was headed towards the ballroom when one of the slutty she-wolves latched her arms around my neck. I think her name is Amber. Or Ashley. Or, I don’t know, nor do I care. I look down at her and give her a questioning smile. “Hey baby, want me to make you feel good tonight after the party? We can ring in your birthday together.” She says in an attempt to sound seductive, but for some reason I feel repulsed by it. I simply pull her hands off me and say “Nah, I’m good thanks.” And walk away. I can’t stand when they get too desperate.

As I’m walking, I smell chocolate and strawberries. ‘Mate. Mate is here!’ Chaz whistles in my head. No. No. No. I don’t want my mate yet. But my feet have a mind of their own and are leading me towards the intoxicating scent. That’s when I see her. Elle. But she’s not alone. She’s being squeezed and spun around by my dear old brother. I let out the loudest growl I have ever done before. Rage consumed me. How dare he touch what’s mine. How dare she allow another man to hold her. How dare they look at each other with so much love. She is MINE.

“Brother you have two second to put my mate down before I rip you to shreds.” The rage consuming me was unexplainable. Elle looked so confused. But my goddess did she look adorable making that face. No. No we are mad at her. She is in the arms of someone who is not me. She is in trouble, not cute.

We lock eyes and I can see the realization in her eyes, that was quickly followed with an even more confused look. Why was she confused? Why did she look like it was impossible? I am her mate.

She turns to Luca and says, “Baby I don’t understand, what is going on?” another growl came from me as Luca pulled her behind him. “Nick – she’s my mate too.” s**t. s**t. s**t. We do share a mate. We share a f*****g mate. And it’s with a girl who already loved him and hated me. Great. He is already winning over me.

“Wait you knew that you guys would have the same mate?” Elle questioned. He looked at her nodded and quickly said that we weren’t 100% sure that it would actually be the case. Before I could say anything, my beautiful mate asks Luca another question. Why does she keep asking him and not speaking a word to me!?

“Luca how am I supposed to be both your mates? I can’t be a Luna and the Gamma female.” I could hear the confusion and slight panic in her angelic voice. But my sweet baby brother of course had to answer her again, not giving me a chance to speak.

“Baby in this case you would only be the Luna.” ‘If he calls her one more loving name, I will rip his head off’ Chaz growls in my head. She looks at Luca with confusion written all over her face. And then I could sense she was beginning to panic. Why was she so panicked?  Does she hate me that much that she can’t stand the thought of me being her mate?

She presses her body up against Luca and whispers in his ear, “Luca what do you mean I would only be the Luna. I would never choose him over you.” She thought I wouldn’t be able to hear, but I did. A twinge hit my heart at that. She wouldn’t choose me. She wouldn’t have to but still the thought of her wanting him more than me hurt.

He laughed and said, “Do you really think I would ever let that happen, love? No, you wouldn’t have to choose him over me or me over him. We would both become Alpha and you would be our Luna.” She sighed in relief, but I could tell she was still scared about something.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed to talk to her alone. “Now brother if you are done hogging our mate, I would like a word with her. Alone.” She looked up at Luca and he asks, “Are you okay with that Princess?” I suppressed a low growl from coming out.  She reluctantly nodded and he finally let her go. Aria, Jake, and Luca walk into the ballroom leaving us alone.
