The Last Royal Luna
Chapter 49

I wake up to only Asher, Andrew, and Blake. My reaction is a negative one but I can’t help it. I haven’t had any time with them, so this feels like a rejection. Why wouldn’t they be here if they wanted me as their mate? I felt the tears hit my cheeks and the guys turn their heads toward me at the same time.

“Ryder?” Asher askes hesitantly. He must think I am hurting but its not a physical hurt.

“They don’t want this bond, do they? Have they left? Did Jared leave with them? How will they do the rejection if they already left?” I start to cry harder and talk faster feeling my heart beat speeding up. “Why count they give it a chance? Is there something wrong with me?” I was full on sobbing at this point so only gibberish came out.

All the guys ran over to me but Blake got their first pulling me into his lap on the chair beside the bed. He held me tight and let me cry into his shirt. I could feel him nuzzling me trying to comfort me but it wasn’t working as well as he would of like.

“Ryder. What’s going on? Are you talking about Kane and Knox?” Andrew stepped forward rubbing my back in small circles and put his head on top of mine.

“Yes. Why did they leave? Is it me? I know seven mates is a lot but I would make time for all of you. Would they need someone else to make them happy? I could try for them but I cant make any promises. Do you guys need another female with us?” I could feel myself spiraling but I didn’t know what to do. I heard the door slam shut and then just silence. I looked up to wipe my eyes and noticed Asher gone. Does he hate me now?

“Baby Asher went to do something to make you feel better. We would NEVER touch another female. Your it for us. You’re our happy ending and that will never change. If your destined for seven mates, then who are we to question the Goddess.” Blake kissed my cheek while Andrew kissed the other. He had kneeled down so his face was level with mine.

I know I was feeling the rejection and still the feeling of my low energy from the pain I went through the night before but with both of them by me I could feel my body and Blue wanting them. I squirmed my body against Blakes, and I heard both of them take a deep breath. They could smell my desire and I just had to hope I could talk them into waiting no matter how much I wanted it. I needed to deal with my feelings head on and not hid behind my desire.

“Baby girl if you don’t figure out a way to stop moving and make that amazing smell of desire go away I am going to have to have some dessert before dinner.” Andrew growled in my ear and it made my whole body shiver from delight. Blake growled in agreement.

“I want you…both so bad I want to rip your clothes off and take you both until I am screaming but I know a small part of it is hiding behind the pain of rejection.” I looked at them both before looking down at my hands.

“I don’t believe they are rejecting you. The talk went well and they just said they needed to talk to their dad and discuss some stuff between them. They seemed excited about having a mate and they said you were perfect for them.” Blake reassured me but it didn’t fell as if he was believing it either.

“But once you feel the bond its so hard not to touch each other or being around them. There was plenty of times I could of went home to get away from you when I was still pissed but I didn’t because I knew that would hurt more. I need them here with me doing this same thing you are to help me build the bond and feel better. They left knowing this and that hurts me even worse.” I was starting to get a bit more angry than sad and that was not a good thing.

Neither of them said anything. They just pulled me close and held me while I sorted my feelings out. I am glad I didn’t instantly reject them even if they deserved it. Blue was urging me to either take some pleasure from my mates to distract myself or hunt down the twins and demand they either reject me or spend time in bed cuddling and talking. I am just glad she wasn’t urging me to take them and make them mine in every way. She chuckled at that since she was going to suggest it but she was a bit pissed off at them herself. How could they bear to be away from us? We haven’t shook hands, sniffed each other for our specific scent, or nuzzled each other to cover the other in our second in our possessive manner and it was making Blue wonder if they were with another she-wolf.

“Ok. That is it.” I stated as I stand up and walk toward my sack of clothing. “I am going to replace them and demand to know what the hell is going on. If they are with another she-wolf or if they smell like one I am hunting that slut down and owning her a*s.” I whipped my gown off and stood naked digging for my underwear and bra.

Just as I pulled them from the bag the door was shoved open and the twins were pushed in roughly right after. I looked up in shock and saw Asher standing behind them with a look of anger and desire swirling into one. The twins had looked up and their eyes hadn’t moved from my body.

“What the hell, Ryder? Why are you standing there naked? Anyone could walk in and see what is ours!” Asher started to get worked up but I held up my hand.

“First off everyone else KNOCKS before entering, caveman. Second most of you have seen me naked so get over it. Third I just found my underwear so give me a minute to get dressed.” I snorted at him as I put on my blue lace long and bra. “By the way who packed this set?” I looked at my mates and saw the biggest smile on Andrew’s face. I smiled back pushed my girls up to fit better in the bra.

“Sorry. I should have knocked but I was dragging these asshats along with me. They have something they wish to say.” Asher glared down at them as he stepped over them and came to stand by my side. I tilted my head to the side to wait for them to speak.

They sat up on their knees and looked a bit nervous but couldn’t stop looking at my body. It made me smile to see them suffering as much as Blue was since she wanted to look at their naked bodies. I could feel their wolves wanting to push through and meet us but the guys were holding them back. I started to prepare for the rejection, and I grabbed a hold of Asher’s hand.

“Ryder, I know this is hard on all of us. We left to get some space and to talk to our dad. We always thought it would just be the two of us with our mate and when we found out it would be seven in total it blew our minds.” Knox stated with a sad look on his face.

“We were getting ready to head back here when Asher found us. We don’t know if this is something we can do or handle. Our dad needs us at the castle and so do the many pack members.” Kane whined. I felt the tears starting to come and Blue was getting pissed off.

“I get it. Let’s stop p***y footing around and reject me. I want this pain to get over with so I can move on with my life and my true mates. I am just glad we found out what whiney little bitches you were before I accepted the bond.” I growled out doing my best to hold Blue back. I could feel my nails getting longer and cutting into Asher’s hand. He moved and wrapped his arms around my side and had Andrew do the same to help calm us down. I looked at Blake and his body language was tense and full of anger.

The twins looked at us in shock before standing up in anger. “Why do you always assume rejection? And we are not whiney bitches. We are alpha’s and you are our mate.” Knox paused and looked at his twin before calming down. I had an idea of what he wanted to say about me and I am glad he held back. I would of taken his a*s down even with my low energy. “We want to get to know you and get to know your other mates better. We want to hold off on marking and mating until we see if this could work out.” I could see that Kane was in agreement.

“I will think about it. I think I need SPACE to think about things and discuss them with someone other than you because their opinions matter more about our relationship than the people in said relationship.” I glared at them showing them how I felt. I knew it was petty but I didn’t give a s**t anymore. I knew this was like a roller-coaster with my emotions but dang. It was a lot to take in after barely 24 hours.

“How about we see about hanging out tomorrow when she is cooled down? I cant deal with my mate more upset over your dumb asses. We need to get her home and make her happy again before she gets pissed about not training in the morning.” Asher stated as he looked at me. He got the full-on glare when he restated that fact. Rude.

The twins looked at each other and agreed. They headed out without even trying for a hug. I was getting upset at that and then getting upset that I was upset. Damn it. I think my period is coming.

“Hey guys. Grab my phone and look at the period tracker app, please.” I smiled sweetly at the guys. Blakes eyes got huge and he took a step back. Asher and Andrew laughed at him knowing he has never had to deal with this before. Asher looked it up and showed me that I was due to start in two days.

“What do we need to get you, baby?” Andrew had opened his note taking app on his phone.

“What a minute. You will actually go to the store and buy my tampons?” I was a little bewildered since most guys had Blakes reaction.

“Of course. We had our mom and our sister so it was double trouble every month. We did what was needed to keep them happy.” Andrew smirked at Blake again. Blake had sat down and was looking stressed out.

“Ok. I am going to need sport tampons in heavy, medium, and light. I need chocolate in all sorts of flavors, heating pad, Midol, a new cute stuffed animal, some of each of your clothes with your scents, and to step up the cuddling.” I stated while I finished getting dressed. I didn’t look at the guys wondering what they thought of my demands.

“You got it baby.” Andrew closed the app, kissed my cheek, and walked out.
