The Alpha & Beta's Regret
The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 155

Luci POV

She could hear both Rafe and Jack talking, before she even opened her eyes, just lay there and listened to them talk to each other, like shed used to do once a long time ago, when sleeping between them and they woke up before she did.

They were openly discussing the Mate Bond, how they thought it was going to work between themselves. Then she heard Rafe state he loved Jack and was going to claim him regardless of what her decision was where they were concerned. Heard him state he was going to fight for her and never give up on her. It was really nice to hear that they still wanted her.

Opened her eyes to see them kissing, almost smiled at the tone of that k**s, so slow and lovingly, it was beautiful to watch. She wasn’t the only one watching them either and she knew it. Both Kali and Alari were also interested in them right at this very minute. All three of them knew and understood that Rafe and Jack loved them. They had loved her and had chosen her a long time ago.

They were also all mated to the two of them, all that was missing between them right this very minute was to hear them state it out loud. Love before a Mate Bond, and she loved them. Kali loved them and Alari was interested right this minute she realised, in them and not just them, but the s*x that would come with being Mated to them. Wanted, it seemed to her, to have s*x with both of them.

Alari understood they were also her Mates because Luci and Kali had Mated themselves to the two before them.

Their Siren part had never gotten to experience anything s****| since being a part of them. Alari had always watched when two men were kissing in public, and Luci only now realised it was because they should have two Mates. It was what they would always have seen if their bond had been formed properly. Was what turned her Siren on.

They heard Jack tell Rafe he loved him right back, that he wanted all of them to be happy, and knew he meant it. It was in the man’s tone of voice, though he was now looking at her and realising she was awake. Watched him sit right up and pull away from Rafe, say her name softly.

She sat herself up and saw Rafe smile at her gently. He didn’t seem to have the uncertainty that she could feel was in Jack right this minute. Rafe was happy to see her, didn’t seem to care at all about the fact that she may have seen them kissing or overheard what they were talking about.

And she had heard it all.

He believed it would be when both of them claimed her, that they would then also be drawn together, was what would allow them to scent each other out. It was completely possible, but she didn’t know if that was it. If it was? Wouldn’t they have scented each other out years ago upon discussing it and agreeing to claim her back then?

Looked right at him and knew that he was going to be okay with whatever happened here in this room between the three of them. She also understood what was likely going to happen here in this room. They were going to claim her, it was what they had been talking about. What they wanted

Rafe seemed to know that she understood everything that had gone on here with them. That she had destroyed that room of hers in a full fury, would not have gone unnoticed by either of them. That in itself would let them know she was likely going to accept them; one didn’t go and get all mad about something they didn’t care about.

Luci could smell that the twins had been in this bed with her, stopped Jack from coming to her as she got up and looked around the room to try and figure out just where she was; she hadn’t been in this room before. Wasn’t exactly sure of where she was, asked where she was, where the boys were.

Then recalled the night’s actual events, Hannah’s state.

Shed harmed her unwittingly, hadn’t meant to, had last seen her in that garden surrounded by her sisters and gasped out Hannah’s name, needed to know if she’d killed her, didn’t want that.

She needed her own answers to her questions about

Hannah specifically, she was already Mated to the two of them and had been for years, so a few minutes more waiting for those words she longed to hear, didn’t matter.

Luci knew that a Mate conversation was going to happen here in this room, it had been in the way they had been talking to each other. So openly, but it had to wait for now

She actually had other pressing matters, it seemed.

She could only shake her head slowly to the are you alright question, took a step back from Jack, it was more instinct than anything else, she was a little confused as to how long she had been unconscious. Her mother was back. Did that mean she’d been unconscious for days? She reached out and felt for her tether, and yes she was back here in the pack. Both the boys were with her as well. They felt really happy right this minute, more so than they normally would even. Frowned as she sensed another out there, they weren’t alone, she had missed something.

She told Jack she needed a minute, and she did, because Alari could sense something very different about the boys and they were trying to figure that out, but couldn’t quite feel what it was, that was there with their mother and boys.

Wasn’t a pack member, that was certain.

“Luci, we need to talk to you.” Rafe drew her attention.

“I read what was on that wall.” She muttered and she had, felt anger well up just remembering what those two she-wolves and their family had done to her, to her boys, to both Rafe and Jack, didn’t know if she’d ever not feel angry about it.

“We only..”

She cut him off, did not want to have to think about it, what they’d all been through. They had all suffered and for what? Nothing really. She tried to tell them that she didn’t want to talk about it, because right this very minute she did not want to. Didn’t know if she could stay calm even thinking about it. Likely wasn’t actually over it yet. Even though she, or they, had gone off and killed those responsible. “I don’t want…”

She could feel that familiar well of darkness swirling around inside of them, and she didn’t like the feeling of it, never really had, only to have Jack cut her off himself, ” Luci, I love you.” he just blurted out into the room in a rush, and she realised only then that he must have thought she was angry with him, with them both.

Luci looked right at him “I want you to be my Mate.” He rushed out almost explosively, and her eyes widened, not really at the statement but at the almost pure desperation she was hearing in his voice.

He was terrified she was going to just walk away from him, she could feel it. Terrified she was going to reject him, reject Rafe, she could not only hear it but see it in the way he was looking at her. Felt it, the connection to him right there in that moment she was gifted to him, could smell that perfect Mate scent, he smelled like he always had the scent of darkly roasted coffee beans, with a hint of caramel and now that Mate scent a deep masculine musk.

Heard both her beasts growl inside her mind ‘Mine.’

Jack didn’t even know what was about to happen to him, shed not had a moment to explain it to him, to them how it worked for a Siren. She had been awake all of a few minutes. She didn’t think her mother would have done it, was a Siren’s responsibility to tell the person they loved about how it was done.

He loved her and now here he was standing before her, staring at her as the Goddess granted them to each other.

Saw him stand there and actually scent her as she did him, he was more than shocked by it, and she knew it. Had not been expecting that at all; he knew they were not Goddess Gifted Mates

Though she watched as his eyes moved right to Rafe and she heard him take in another breath, knew in that moment, it wasn’t just her he was scenting out, he had also been gifted Rafe in that moment. Saw as confusion registered on his face, as he looked from her to Rafe and then back again.

She understood exactly what was going on, Rafe and Jack had been discussing the connecting factor between the two of them. They thought it was her, but it wasn’t. She heard Rafe himself breathe Jack’s scent in, and realised Rafe was also right this minute, scenting Jack.

Jack was actually the one to connect them all together, it was not her, it was Jack. She could not scent Rafe and Rafe did not scent her right this minute, but they could both scent Jack as he could them. He was her Mate, and he was Rafe’s Mate.

But if Jack didn’t claim one of them, none of them got to have each other. She had heard Rafe and Jack lay their claim on each other, tell each other they loved each other, and now he had just told her he loved her and laid claim to her or told her he wanted to. Jack had just told both his Mates he loved them and wanted them. Perhaps he just had to claim her before Rafe could connect to him.

She already loved him, was mated to him even. He just didn’t know it, but couldn’t connect to him because he needed to verbalise it to her himself. It was Jack, always was Jack, the man was so close to the both of them, he’d always understood Rafe, and hed always known and understood her emotions, what she needed when upset.

Realised it was because he was the one to bind them all together, it was never her, she walked around him and stood herself next to Rafe, looked at him and saw Rafe realise it himself, that he had gotten it wrong. Also understood that it was Jack that was bringing them all together. “It’s Jack, always was Jack.” He told her and touched her face gently.

Luci had to agree with him.

“It is Jack.”

Smiled as Jack let out a possessive growl as he watched Rafe touch her face, but was already looking up into Rafe’s deep dark blue eyes, his touch on her skin so very soft and light “I love you Luci, I want you to be my Mate, my Luna.

Our Luna.”

She actually felt tears well up at his words, felt happy as she got to hear those words, she’d longed to hear from these two men, to be claimed by them both, breathed him in a moment later as his scent hit her. Black Pepper and Cedar wood, then that same deep Musk scent of Jack, they both had the same Mate scent for her.

Rafe smelled more masculine to her, whereas Jack smelled sweet and delicious. How shed actually thought of them when first being with them.

Felt the sparks on her face where he was touching her and couldn’t be happier knowing that these two men loved her.

That Rafe himself loved her, just as much as Jack did.

Smiled right up at him when he growled all softly “Mine.”

Down at her, both he and Solar together officially claiming her as their Mate.

“Do you want the honour?” He asked softly, smiling down at her, and Luci understood he was asking if she wanted to Claim Jack before he did, felt him connect a mind-link to her and heard the teasing note in his voice, he did always like to torment Jack was doing so right this minute by leaving him out of their Mate conversation, Were both Alpha’s Luci. One of us should claim the man, before he claims us.’ Then out loud, he stated “You or I first? I want you to tell me what it is you want honey.”

You’ve waited a very long time for him.’ Luci told him via a mind-link, much longer than she had ‘1 want to see you two claim each other. Be together.’ She was actually already mated to the two of them. She could wait.

They loved her, all of her and she knew it, couldn’t be granted that bond without that. “I think you should, Rafe.” she stated out loud and looked at him, meant that, saw him smiled and then just leaned down and kissed her softly mind-linked right to her ‘Don’t you dare leave this room, you’re ours and we are both going to claim you, love you and r****h all three of you.’

Watched from her bed as the two of them touched and tasted each other, mated the hell out of each other in the end, all raw need, grinding against each other on the floor before her as she lay on the bed and she, Kali and Alari got all hot and bothered at the sight of their two Mates mating.

They were happy watching them, wasn’t going to interrupt them, it was their moment, only to replace two sets of eyes on her when they were done. “Mine” they both growled at her and started to get up.

Luci sat herself up and felt Alari snap her arm out and pointed a finger right at them “Go shower.” They were told, the pair of them had c*m over each other and she nor Kali or Alari wanted that sticky mess all over them.

Watched as both Rafe and Jack looked at each other and snorted “A bit on the messy side.” Jack smiled.

“Shower it is.” Rafe nodded “Want to join us?”

She shook her head, ‘no’ she didn’t mind the idea. She had been there before, but wanted to mate them properly, here in a bed where it was comfortable for her. Not one of them thought it was going to be a quick mating. And she knew how insatiable they could both be. She also knew that Jack had just been raised to that of an Alpha. He might be more demanding now than he had been before, she didn’t know.

Smiled to herself as more mating noises came from the ensuite, shook her head newly mated and enjoying being all naked together, no real surprise there. Wondered if she should just let them go at it all afternoon and go and see her mother and the boys. While those two in there were consumed by their new bond.

She could she supposed wander off and have them get all annoyed and have to actually hunt her. She heard Alari snort inside of her mind, thought it was funny to up and leave, kind of liked the idea.

Kali chortled out loud, ‘It wouldn’t be the first time you’ve done that, we’ve done that.’

“No it would not.’ Luci murmured. She’d always run away from them to incite them into mating her.

She was just getting up when the bathroom door opened and found the two of them staring at her. It was almost as if they just knew she was going to leave, slid her eyes over them, they were both naked and dripping wet from the shower, all riled up and ready for her, knew those looks she was getting.
