Chapter 9 | Are You In?

Lux

There are certain times I’m grateful that I’m blind. And as birthday party preparations are in full swing, this is one of them. 

I could hear my mom, aunts, or grandmas flipping out over some insignificant details like the color of the napkins and it just made me grateful they couldn’t ask my opinion. My opinion only mattered for food, and that had already been picked out over a month ago. 

We are only a couple of days away from our birthday party and I am so nervous about it. It’s going to be an enormous party with tons of visiting packs, which means the chances of me or one of the boys finding their mate were extremely high. 

Things haven’t been the same since my birthday. Silas and I haven’t been as close. Calvin and Iris are attached at the hip and both their scents changed which has been a change for me, and Kai is struggling to control his wolf and every day is working towards gaining control over him. 

I try to help. His wolf seems to respond well to mine, almost like they knew each other well in a past life. And from the conversations I hear them have, I really believe that’s the case. Kai never remembers the conversations; his wolf blocks him out and it’s like he doesn’t exist whenever Loki is in control.

At this moment, I kind of wish we had never turned 18. At least then everything would be normal. 

3 more days. 3 more days and the party is happening. Hopefully, in 4 days I can say that everything is going back to normal. 

Silas

Having to stay away from Lux is incredibly difficult. She’s my best friend regardless of my feelings, but since her birthday 13 days ago I’ve done everything I can to keep my distance. 

I see that she’s sad I don’t sit next to her, and it causes me pain to know I’ve hurt her. But unfortunately, this is just the way it has to be. At least for right now. 

Tomorrow is their birthday party and to be honest, I’m nervous about it. I think we all have some nerves regarding it because so many packs are coming to visit and celebrate that the likelihood of the rest of us finding our mates is very high.

I go for a run and push myself to run the perimeter of part of the pack. Because the royal pack is the largest pack, trying to run along the entire perimeter can take over 24 hours, even in our wolf form. I knew I would not do that today, but I could definitely lose myself in the run for a few hours. 

As I run, I see the King and Kai attempting to control Kai’s wolf and I can tell the King seems disappointed about it. I see Calvin showing Iris one of his favorite spots in the pack, but I don’t watch too closely because I know how newly mated people act, and I do not want to risk seeing anything!

I get near the waterfall, and I can smell that Lux is there and as much as I wanted to resist her because of my family’s intervention... I just couldn’t. This may be the last time I get to be around her, just the two of us, before we find our true mates.

I walk towards her, and she doesn’t even look my way as I come closer and instead simply says, “So, now you want to be around me?”

I let out the breath that I didn’t even realize that I was holding. She asks softly, “Why have you been avoiding me, Si? What did I do?”

The steps I take toward her feel heavy as I am weighed down by my guilt. I sit beside her and say softly, “I’m sorry, Lux.”

“If you’re truly sorry, then you would give me an explanation,” she spat back at me. 

I sigh and reach out to grab her hand so that I could show her how sorry I was, but before I even get the opportunity to, she starts talking. Her voice rises with every word and by the end of it, she is yelling at me as she says, “Why would you kiss me and then ignore me? Do you even realize how that affects me? I didn’t ask for you to kiss me! And now it’s all I can think of!”

My heart stops... she remembered? She didn’t act like she had remembered. I mutter, “I didn’t know you knew.”

She scoffs, “It’s not like you’ve been talking to me so that I could tell you. And it’s not like I want to announce it to the world when we aren’t even mates!”

She’s right... and she’s right to be mad at me. I have no way to respond. I don’t know what to say and I don’t want to make her more upset with me. She rambles, “Why did you kiss me? I’m not your mate and you have never expressed having feelings for me like that. And why can’t I stop thinking about it? All I can think about is your lips against mine and how you taste!”

I can’t help but chuckle at her outburst and she seethes, “It isn’t funny.” 

I attempt to collect myself, so she doesn’t get angrier, but I almost lose it when she says, “And why do you taste like cotton candy?! Like it doesn’t match your scent at all! Tell me how that makes sense.”

I roll my lips together to contain my laughter and once I knew I was good to talk I said, “I don’t know why I taste like that. I can’t stop thinking about it either, if that helps anything.”

She huffs in response and I continue, “I kissed you because honestly I thought I might lose you and I was scared. To be honest, Lux, I’ve always been drawn to you. And well, I really wanted you to be my mate. I don’t really know exactly why I kissed you. It’s just something I felt like I had to do.”

She looks like she’s really deep in thought and after a moment I say nervously, “If it makes you feel any better... I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it either. And you taste like salted caramel... not like your scent, either.”

Her head tilts back as she laughs hard at my comment. I can’t help but join in and laugh with her. After our laughter has died down, she asks, “Why have you been avoiding me?”

I should’ve known that she wouldn’t let me off the hook for that. I answer honestly, “Lux... I’m struggling to be around you right now. Especially after kissing you because all I can think about is your lips and how I wish you were mine.”

Her eyebrows are furrowed, and she frowns deeply as she thinks. I notice she twiddles her thumbs and by the way she opens and closes her mouth; I know she has something she wants to say, but she’s not sure how to explain it. She purses her lips and then says quickly, “Let’s do it, just for today.”

“Do what?”

She sighs, “Act like we’re each other’s mates... see what it feels like. Tomorrow, we both might be mated to different people, so we only have right now.”

I stare at her in shock, speechless. But she shocks me more when she sticks her hand out and feels for me and then swings herself over so that she’s straddling me and she brings her face right up to mine and her lips are a breath away from mine as she whispers, “Are you in?”

Even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined Lux to be so assertive. But the fact she knew what she wanted and was willing to do anything to get it was an insane turn on.

But... is this the best idea? I could have the best day of my life with her and then meet my mate tomorrow and have to forget about these feelings I have for Lux.

Is it worth the risk?

    Lux I don’t know what came over me that would make me bold enough to straddle Silas. Oh yeah, my aggressive wolf. While I waited for Silas to respond, I yell to her in my head, "What are you doing? Why?! He’s not our mate and he’s my best friend! This will ruin everything." She huffs, "I’m drawn to him and his wolf. Let us have just one day, Lux. Tomorrow, both of us may meet our mates." "And if we don’t?" "... Then maybe we’re meant to be mated to one another." I’m surprised by her statement. I’m surprised she wasn’t appalled at the thought of just being physical with Silas. From what I’ve understood about mates, and everything is that the wolf side of you shouldn’t be attracted to anyone except your mate. But here she is, attracted to Silas, and I can’t help but wonder, what does this mean? I suddenly feel self-conscious because Silas still hasn’t answered me, and his lips are so close to mine. As I feel his breath on my face, I feel desperate to close in the gap between us.

    Lux When I get home that night, I swear I am on the highest high. Spending the day with Silas was perfection. Bungee jumping was the biggest thrill, and afterwards we went out to eat at a small bistro that neither of us had ever been to. It was a family run place and had little business, so we talked with the owners for a while. They were human and were pretty old, but they talked about how they knew each other as children and went their separate ways at college, but ultimately found their way back to each other. I secretly wonder if maybe the moon goddess, Selene, matched them together, but I felt jealous that Silas and I wouldn’t be able to have the same outcome. I make a mental note though to send them an anonymous donation. It’s obvious they were struggling to stay afloat, and their food was great, and I want to go there again. When Silas brought me to my room, I asked for him to come in. We need to have a proper goodbye without worrying about who could be watching. And as sa

    Lux The dress I’m wearing is silk. I don’t know what color it is, but I’m told that it is supposed to match my eyes. According to Silas, that means it’s a shade of white with shimmers of other colors like blue or pink. I play with the fabric nervously as I feel my mom do my hair and place a crown on my head, a reminder for the night of who I am. I haven’t told her about Silas and my feelings for him... it’s a secret that I’m sure will go with me to my grave. I take a deep breath and can hear my mom talking about how pretty I look and how I’ll probably shock my mate if he’s here tonight. I nod along, but I’m only halfway listening. My stomach is in knots at the thought of meeting my mate. My brother comes into my room, and I didn’t realize he asked everyone to leave until it’s only the two of us left in my room. He asks, “What’s going on, Lux?” “Nothing, just nervous for the crowd, I guess.” He huffs, “I know when you’re lying.” I clench my eyes shut in frustration and ask, “What

    Silas I walk closer to my mate, who is already wrapped up in my brother’s embrace. David is obviously oblivious to what is happening and is caught up in the excitement of finding his mate. Her cheeks burn a crimson red as she looks between the two of us and his face is a mix of shock and realization. He nods slowly to himself as he processes what’s happening and she speaks up first. Her voice is soft as she says, “So, you are both my mates?” David smiles brightly just hearing her voice, and he says, “It certainly appears that way. I’m David.” I nod along, “I’m Silas.” She smiles, and I notice one of her front teeth has the tiniest little chip in it and I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten that fixed. She says, “I’m Charlotte.” Overall, Charlotte is a pretty girl. She is probably 5’2, so she is over a foot smaller than me. She has curly auburn hair that is pulled up into a high ponytail, and she has stunning olive green eyes. A part of me is drawn to her, but I am upset that she is n

    Lux I can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as the party settles. Apollo kept his distance for the most part because he was trying to respect the boundary that I placed. It’s something that I appreciate. I’ve been fearful of having a mate who wouldn’t care about me. Apollo is already proving that he cares about me and my feelings. He would occasionally come to me with a drink or he would go speak with my brother or my parents, no one knowing that he is my mate. I wanted to wait until the party was over. It took hours, but soon all that was left was my family, the royal Betas, and royal Gammas, and the new mates. Apollo stood at my side. I could smell Charlotte as she stood near Silas and David, which I thought was odd that she would be so close to both of them. I could smell Iris with Calvin, but I noticed my brother was alone. He must feel lonely because most of us found our mates. My father says, “Well, looks like we have a few extra members tonight. Please, state your names, p

    Silas I tried not to stare as Apollo took Lux away from the group. I tried to focus on Charlotte and to learn more about her. She is my mate, and I need to know more about her. But it’s difficult when Jax is begging in my mind for us to go check on Lux. One by one, the group disperses and gets smaller until my brother and I take Charlotte to her room. He kisses her cheek and I kiss her hand and we bid her goodnight, promising that we will spend more time with each other tomorrow. We go up to our floor and stay quiet. I think we are both still trying to process this whole having the same mate thing. I wait an hour after we separated, trying to make sure that everyone on our floor was asleep before I slipped out of my room to go see Lux. When I get out of my door, I only make it three steps before I hear David’s voice, “What do you think you’re doing?” I freeze and then turn to see him. His arms are crossed and his face is serious as he scowls at me in disgust. He might be a coupl

    Lux I only woke up at a reasonable time because Kai came to my room and made me get up. My face felt sticky from my tears. I knew my face was swollen, and that overall I was in rough shape. But I appreciated my brother for knowing that now is not the time to ask me about it. I could sense his concern, but instead of saying anything, he just asked, “Would you like something more comfortable to wear or more dressy? I’m not sure how far you’re trying to go to impress Apollo.” Apollo. My mate. I felt like I betrayed him in some way because I spent the entire night crying over some other man. But it wasn’t just some other man; it was Silas. My best friend... The one person who I never could’ve imagined disappointing me. The one who ultimately let me down and made me feel shattered. I answer, “Something in between. I want to be comfortable and pretty, but I want to set realistic expectations that I won’t always look the way I looked last night.” “As you wish, sis,” he responds.

    Silas I hardly slept last night. Every time I came close to falling asleep, Jax would whimper loudly, letting me know his disappointment at me not seeing Lux. He confuses me... shouldn’t he be happy that I’m not focusing on her? She’s not our mate. Yet, he isn’t even thinking about Charlotte. His only focus is Lux. I look at the time and it’s just past eight and I decide to get up and get dressed. The King let us younger wolves have the morning off of training because of being out late for Lux and Kai’s party and knowing a lot of wolves would probably find their mates. I get dressed quickly as I decide to see Charlotte. Maybe I can have a few minutes with her and get started on building an actual relationship with her. I picked out a pair of jeans along with a short sleeve light green button up. I walk towards her door and felt nervous, but the mate bond draws me closer to her. Butterflies fill my stomach as I bring my hand up and knock on the door. A moment passes. I feel a sli

    Ten years later Lux Life is… good and it’s crazy. That’s honestly the best way I can describe it. Silas and I had Selene and Samson and after having them we thought we would be done. But, life had other plans because five years later we found out we were pregnant with another boy girl twin set. We named them Athena and Ace. Selene and Samson are now 10 while Athena and Ace are now 5. David and Charlotte had one more kid named her Penny. So, Leo is now 11 and Penny is 8.

I walked out to the balcony as the phone rang and I couldn’t help but smile when I heard her chipper voice, “Lux? How are you!?”I chuckle, “I’m good, Marinette, how are you doing? And how is sweet Marigold?”“We’re great. And she’s so big now, you wouldn’t believe it! How was yours and Silas’s trip?”“It was great. The moon goddess actually gave me might sight back. But we had some discoveries that happened. Um, any chance you could help me figure out if something might be in Leviticus’s journal?”“That’s incredible, Lux. And I’ve read the thing cover to cover multiple times. What do you need to know?”“I need to know about a guy named Abel and if he is good or bad. I also want to know how vampires order was… did they have like a King and Queen?”“No, they didn’t. They respected whoever was the oldest or had the purest line which happened to be Leviticus and his parents. And Abel

We need to discuss this Marinette thing. And Calvin and David, the two of you should go be with your families. We have an early training tomorrow.”Both of the guy’s grumble as they leave and I can’t help but smirk from their reactions. Silas takes my arm and Kai takes Genevieve’s as we all walk to his office. Genevieve walks straight to Kai’s desk and grabs a phone and makes a quick call and Kai starts to ask, “What are you-”Then she started ordering food and he sits down as he says, “Oh!”Genevieve takes a seat and looks directly at me as she asks, “What’s wrong with Kai’s idea?”Silas looks over at me and asks, “What is she talking about, Lux?”I groan and say, “Kai thinks that I should also take the throne… and

    LuxI shifted into Kodi and urged her to run as fast as she could. Her paws pounded against the ground and I loved the confidence exuding from her now that she can see where she’s going. She is a little cocky though, she’s pretty confident in her ability to outrun Loki.I can’t believe Kai would even suggest us being co-rulers! I can’t be Luna Queen… it’s not my place. It’s a good thing I was blind because I don’t think I could handle all of the pressure and responsibilities that are tied in with being a Queen!On top of it, look at Kai and Genevieve. They make the whole thing look so effortless. If Silas and I came into the mix I’m sure I’d just mess it up.My sadness seems to fuel Kodi as she runs further away from the waterfall and away from the pack house too. She knew I wanted to be alone and was trying her best not to go somewhere that Loki or Kai would instantly think of.A small part of me wants to talk to Silas, but another part of me doesn’t want to.

We needed my dad to see that we’re serious about this. He could have a relationship with me and Kai or he could have a life without us. He doesn’t get to pick and choose.We promised Christopher and Nadia that we would come to visit again after our babies were born and we thanked them for their hospitality before we made our trip home. We were eager to get home. We’ll be having another ultrasound soon and this time we should be able to figure out the gender of the babies.I felt relieved as we drove onto the pack grounds and I looked forward to getting to sleep in our own bed. But as we pulled up to the pack house, I was surprised to see Kai sitting on the front steps by the front door. I braced myself expecting that he is going to be angry with us for going around

It would’ve been hard to see them go… I keep having a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that they’re going to leave and not return and… I can’t afford that. I need them here, but Silas keeps avoiding me when I try to bring up the topic of him becoming a Royal Beta again.I don’t understand why. He was raised knowing that he and David would both take the position and he had always seemed excited over it. And now it’s like he doesn’t care about it anymore.Hopefully Lux is able to get our dad to come back so we can resolve things and maybe I could get some answers.Genevieve comes into our room and sighs as she looks at me.

But… she seems oblivious to it.I ask, “Hey D, what’s going on with you and Amber?”He seems taken aback by my question and it causes Christopher to laugh as he says, “I told you it was obvious.”Damon looks around the room making sure Amber isn’t near and says, “Man, who told you?”This made both me and Christopher laugh and Damon rolls his eyes and says, “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up you jerks.”Christopher says, “Sorry Damon, you
