Once Rejected, Thrice Accepted
Chapter 18

'Shit, I have nothing to wear! Why did my dumb luck decide to happen again? Why did the King and his royal guard have to be visiting a nearby pack when I decided to spill my guts? Ugh'

I had been complaining to my wolf from the time we got home after giving blood all the way through my sob fest, a hot bath, lunch, and now, while I stand here looking at my closet full of clothes, b**t a*s naked with no idea what to wear. So many choices of clothing but what are you supposed to wear in front of royalty? They didn't really cover anything at the school about them, not that I paid much attention. I focused more on the humans so I could blend in better after I turned eighteen and ran from the pack. 'Just ask the guys. She was full of useless suggestions today. 'Just freakin do it. Geez!

Ugh, fine. I opened the bedroom door and stuck my head out. "I need help picking clothes. Give me a minute and then can someone help me?"

I heard a yes, so I went back to pick out my undies but barely had time to open the drawer to pick before the guys pushed each other through the door. I just stood there in shock holding onto a pair of blue lace panties with a matching bra wondering how the hell I got here with these three guys who act like everything is a competition.

"Babe, I need you to get dressed." Duncan said, barely able to get the words out. "I can smell you and my wolf wants to taste you."

"Forget that! I want to feel you around me." Leo snarled like he was ready to go feral.

Lucas slapped him on the back of his head. "Shut up. We don't have time. But tonight, I'd love a chance to show you who has the bigger package and is better in bed." He winked at me pushing me out of my stupor.

I hurriedly got in my undies almost falling on my ass when my pinky toe got stuck on the lace. The wall caught me in time as I shoved down harder and got it unhooked. The bra took less time but I did have to turn around since the girls were saying hello to a few guys who were more than ready to go if I was judging by the tent in their pants.

"Ok, so..." Ignoring the awkward situation, I pointed to the clothes in my closet, "what the heck do you wear when you meet the King? And don't make it some skimpy, shows all my assets type of thing either. I still have some scarring and bruising but this one on my side that should have healed by now."

I pointed to this light bruise that was shaped like a paw print on my ribs. It didn't have the same coloring as a bruise, more like a reddish color the same from when I would get slapped and a handprint would be left behind. No one had slapped like that in about a week now.

The guys got closer and looked at it. Their faces went from worry to stressed with their lips going tight and lines appearing on their forehead. "Somebody want to tell me what's going on?"

"I don't know who has this same birthmark, but I know it is an important family." Leo confessed. "Your DNA has finished in the system but I bet it shows some important person as your dad, but I never heard anything about a lost pup." "Me either," Lucas admitted. "We could ask the King's guard. They might know."

"For now, let's keep it to ourselves. I also don't want to ask our guests until we know they won't be blaming us for the whole war on them thing. Let's get the dress picked out and head on up." Duncan pointed to a simple black spaghetti strap. "Let's do that with some flats. Everything makes my mate look amazing."

'Even better when your naked and spread out on the bed.' He linked me. I blushed and pushed him back.

"I can get dressed from here. Give me about ten minutes since I can't do crap with make-up so no extra time is needed." I admitted pulling the dress off the hanger.

"I will have Cass's little sister come over. She is in beauty school and has already been on our a*s to have her over to meet you. She thinks you are adorable and can't wait to become besties." Leo groaned.

"I bet Cass fights her for that position." Lucas laughed. "I can see it now with both of the fighting with snarky comments until our baby picks one sore loser over the other."

I pushed them out the door to get myself dressed. I had to ignore some comments about how I might need help, or that they could make sure it is the right dress. Perverts, the lot of them. They are lucky they have wormed their way into my heart.

'Then why haven't we mated and marked the twins yet? I want all my mates to be marked so none of those petty bitches can try anything!' She huffed and glared at me. 'We both know they will try regardless but when I kill them this time, I won't get in trouble for protecting what is marked as mine!

'I was thinking maybe tonight. I am nervous about taking on both of them together in more than one way, but it doesn't feel right to separate them. I bit my lip and sighed. 'What if my body can't handle taking two marks in one night or going two rounds in a night?' She laughed at me. My wolf had the audacity to laugh at me. 'Please, there are so many combinations that could make it easier, and I know we can take it. For the first time we should let them set the pace after explaining that we have only just had our firsts and set some boundaries.

'Deal. What do you think Duncan will think?'

'Have him watch and help if needed. He can come just like they can. Then the next night we take all three of them.' She winked already knowing she was going to push for that every night until I gave in.

I mind linked Duncan asking what he thought about me marking the twins tonight and he actually seemed excited. He couldn't wait to see their faces when I told them. I took one last look in the mirror to make sure I looked ok, and that the birthmark was covered before heading downstairs.

I kept thinking over everything and talking to myself, I didn't hear the silence as I made it to the last step. I looked up and the guys were staring at me. I had tried my hand at mascara and some foundation, so maybe I screwed up.

"Did I do a bad job?" I clasped my hands behind my back and tried to make myself look small. I didn't want to disappoint them.

"You look amazing. You need to change. I am not sharing you with any other slobbering male idiot." Leo demanded like a little child, including a small foot stomp.

I smiled. I loved how possessive they were with me. I didn't want to share them either. I almost made it a rule for them to train with a full body suit on, but I knew that would be crazy so now I was going to suggest my name getting tattooed on their chest. Moonlight agreed. Lucas pulled me in for a hug. He smelled so good. It was like candy to a baby when I smelled my mates and when they were turned on it was ten times hotter. If I could go into rut like an Alpha I sure would.

Lucas stepped back. His eyes were black which meant his wolf was in front. "Mark. Mate. Mine." Lucas was fighting him, but I don't think he was going to win this.

Duncan stepped forward like he was going to interrupt but I didn't let him. I stepped closer to Lucas and waved for Leo to get closer.

"Tonight, after the meeting, I want you to take me. Take me as your mate and mark me for all to see." I took a long drag of their scents blending together with mine. "Then I want to mark you so everyone knows your c***s belong to me and only me, just like the rest of your body."

"Shit..." Duncan whispered, holding his hand over his privates. "Stupid meetings are always interrupting the good shit."

I walked to the door, enjoying their eyes on me. "Now let's go meet the King and tell him how my old pack wants his old a*s dead."

Duncan groaned. "Please don't put it so bluntly when speaking to him. I don't want to ruin this outfit with blood."

The guys laughed like it was a joke, but I knew he was dead serious. Awesome. Gotta play nice, got it.
