The Last Royal Luna
(Book 2) – Chapter 62

I woke up alone on the bed and heard whispering coming from the main part of our suite. I wanted to stretch out and actually enjoy getting this big bed to myself, but my bladder was telling me to get my butt out of bed. I g*****d and the whispering stopped. Bathroom here I come before any of them can ask if I am ok for the millionth time.

“Baby..I missed you.” Dang it, Asher was a quick wolf.

“Nope. I have to use the rest room and we can talk over a hot cup of coffee.” I shut the door behind me before he could reply.

Dang I knew I had slept for probably a few hours but my bladder was screaming like I was out for a few days with no relief. I noticed one or two of my mates were standing outside the bathroom probably wondering what was taking so long. They always underestimate my time in the bathroom since all they do is whip it out and piss on everything. I don’t know how many times I had sat down on pee and they just yell sorry from the other room. I will get them back one day. Blue was laughing at me. She just thinks they guys were marking their territory. I was going to ask her if peeing on the guys would count as another way to mark them as mine but I knew she would like the idea. She was a bit off kilter sometimes.

“Knock, Knock.” Here we go. I knew they wouldn’t last long waiting. Good think I loved them all. “You fall in?” Edgar asked with a laugh.

“Har, Har. So glad you think your funny when no one else does.” I dried by hands on one of the towels and ignored his growls.

“Come out here and say that, little devil.” Awe a new nickname.

I open the door and walk out seeing Edgar and Knox standing there with grins on their faces but I could see the worry in their eyes. I looked for the rest and they seemed to be standing by the door making sure not to look at me.

“Someone is hiding something from me. Speak now before I have to take action, big boy.” I let out a yell at the end when Edgar throws me over his shoulder and heads toward the couch. I could smell the fresh coffee that we were headed toward causing a m**n.

“Baby, better stop with those wonderful noises or we won’t make it to dinner.” Andrew teased but stayed standing by the door.

“LET…ME…GO!” That sounded like Koda.

“What is going on here? Is Koda behind you big goons?” I knew they were overprotective but damn.

“He was just leaving.” Asher opened the door.

“I AM NOT LEAVING! I need to see her!” Koda yelped as they pushed him toward the open door but he was putting up a pretty good fight.

“Stop. Let him stay and say his piece. I will be fine and if not someone can make me very happy in the bedroom before we head down for dinner.” I grinned when all the guys volunteered.

Koda stumbled toward me almost falling. I am guessing someone gave him a hand and it made me giggle a tiny bit. Maybe him seeing how protective they were of me would give him the kick in the pants he needed to get to know me and not follow in his

brother’s bad decision making. I just raised my eyebrow and waited for him to speak. I had said what I needed to on the field earlier.

“First, I want to apologize for the way I and my friends acted today. I let my feelings and protectiveness of my brother get in the way of acting like the leader I should be.” He couldn’t even look me in the eye and Blue could feel the waves of sadness wafting off of him. It was getting harder for her to stay mad at him.

“Thank you for apologizing. Is that all that you came for?” The mate pull was starting to get worse for me and I was scared of a second rejection. That hurt like someone ripped my heart out and I still felt like a piece of it was missing. I was hiding it from the guys the best I could.

“No. After my mom and dad getting all over my s**t I realized I was just taking what my brother felt and doing the same thing. He didn’t ask if they were fated or chosen, why so many, or even get to know you without them. That was me failing as a man and a mate. I am sorry and I would like to fix all of this. Can that happen? Tell me what I need to do and I will do it.” He fell to his knees waiting for my answer.

Yep, Blue was doing a happy, wiggly dance probably trying to shoot rainbows out of her butt. She was so easy to please in so many ways. “Well Blue is all in. She is even shaking her butt in excitement.” I rolled my eyes which made the guys laugh and Koda’s eyes shot wide open.

“So Blue says yes to this j******f does that mean you agree?” Kane asked with a heaviness I hadn’t heard on his voice before. It made me sad and worried I had missed something in how he felt about adding another mate.

“Kane, baby. Please come here.” He shook his head and looked away. “Please.” I let Blue whine a bit on the please which ended up a good thing. He walked over to me and latched all with all my body squeezing as tight as I could. “I love you and you are important to me. Now and always.”

“I know, baby girl. I just can’t stand to see you hurt like that again especially when I can’t do anything to make it all go away. I need you happy and strong like you should be. I need to be able to take all the bad things away.” He shoved his face into my neck. “You are my world. The love I have for you has no ends.

“Are you ok with me seeing where this goes? I can only do this as a team because you all are my heart.” He nodded and kissed his bite mark sending goosebumps across my skin. “You better stop that or we won’t be leaving this room this evening.”

“We are all behind you no matter what you decide. We will always be yours.” Asher responded as he walked around to hug me from behind. Their warmth helped me make my decision easier.

I gave the guys another minute of us wrapped together before letting go to stand in front of Koda. “Please stand up. I am sure your knees hurt.”

“Thank you.” His nerves hadn’t gotten any better by the way his hands were doing anything to stay busy.

“I am impressed that you had the strength to come here and apologize. I can tell it was real and that you do want to fix things.” I took a breath. “I would like to try to fix what has happened and see where it goes. We will be here for a few days before heading home. What do you think we should do to get to know each other better?”

His face turned into the biggest smile and he purred. He looked as shocked as us and coughed to cover it up. Too stinking cute. “Thank you so much! I would love to start out by just hanging out until dinner in an hour and maybe we could sit by each other?”

“You can sit with us, big boy. We would all like to get to know you!” Edgar winked at him and we all busted out in laughter.

“Sounds good. How about we play a game of never have I ever to get to know each other?” The guys started getting excited and I knew it was because they wanted to make Koda squirm. This was going to be fun.
