Chapter 9 Ares POV
*k, I groan as I slowly reflect on everything that had happened yesterday as yesterday turned out to be a total shit show, especially after talking with Kai along with Seth and Sam as Eros and I had decided to go talk with mom and dad once more on the subject of the mating ball but after the whole ordeal with Lily we chose not to leave our rooms for the rest of the day only opting to have lunch and dinner brought to our rooms instead. "You know we can't just hide here all day you know" remarks Eros who had been sitting in a chair across from me.
"I know, but what else can we do with Lily, with her always around it makes talking to mom and dad a little more challenging" I say knowing exactly how Lily was as she would find every possible second to worm her way into our presence. "We need to put the bitch into her place, she's not our Luna and never will be" grumbles Eros who didn't like the fact that we were hiding like s pups instead of acting like the Alpha's we were meant to be..
"And how do you suppose we do that?" I counter before taking a sip of my whiskey, the amber liquid running smoothly down my throat as I did. Glancing a
at a clock on the wall I can't help but notice it read a little past 12 o'clock which meant mom and dad would most likely be in a meeting until 1 pm giving us time to sit and think about the subject at hand.
"I don't know, but we gotta do it soon before our true Luna comes, otherwise there could be problems with her and the pack" sighs Eros as he too moved to take a sip of his own whiskey.
"Do what soon?" asks a voice causing me and Eros to turn only to see Kai and Lucas as they slowly enter my room before taking seats on the adjacent couch from us.
"Lily" we both replied.
At the sound of her name, Kai groaned. "For real? Doesn't the b**h know that she's not wanted here?"
"Ya and now she thinks she can come in here and take away our Luna's place" growls Eros as he takes another sip of his drink.
"What the hell? She can't be serious is she? After all there's no way she'd be considered Luna
material here" replies Kai who was now sitting a little more straighter on the couch.
"Um, who's Lily?" asks Lucas with a confused look on his face making us realize that he wasn't here to meet Lily back then.
"Love, Lily is the pack whor*hout regards to who it hurts in the process" explains Kai hoping it would clarify the type of person Lily was to the pack.
"What? Ew gross, please tell me she didn't sleep with the both of you?" asks a shocked Lucas as he looks between both me and Eros, neither of us denying his question as it was totally true. "Wait, She did?" exclaims Lucas who was now gazing at the both of us. "Why?".
"We were desperate back then, and now we obviously regret doing it and wished we had waited for our mate, but again desperate and she offered herself to us" admits Eros, guilt flooding his
features
for not waiting for our mate.
"At least you didn't mark her right?" asks Lucas again wanting to make sure that we didn't do that.
Alleast
at least.
"Heavens no, I think Zeus would have killed me if he could" I say, knowing that both Zeus and Deimos never did like Lily but also wouldn't say as to why other than when asked they would say it was because she was a whore or change the subject all together. "That's good" whispers Lucas as he leans against Kai making our eyes move over to them only to spot their freshly mated marks, elegant marks of a wolf head howling with their initials just below it, indicating that they were taken by the other.
"Well I'll be... You two finally mated huh?" I say with surprise but feeling nothing but pride for my Beta, knowing he had been waiting a long time to mark his mate.
"When?" asks Eros, curious as to when it happened.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Yesterday, after we left the both of you. I had decided to go home and have a brief conversation. with my parents only to have Frost demand that I go and mate with Lucas right then and there" admits Kai sheepishly.
"Wait, Your parents were both home? Oh my god" exclaims Lucas in embarrassment. "They could have heard us, or worse, walked in on us".
"Relax love, all rooms are meant to be sound proof if only for that reason, otherwise everyone would know when a wolf was having sex as we tend to be a little loud" whispers Kai lovingly as he

tries to calm his mate down.. mes
"But still..." mutters Lucas, as he trails off causing Eros and I to chuckle.
"So.. does that mean you two will be moving into the Beta Suite?" asks Eros as he tries to change. the subject for Lucas as he tries to get his emotions under control.
"Yes,
we were actually about to go talk with the Luna and Alpha now and ask if it was okay to move in after the mating ball, and maybe with a little luck hopefully Seth and Sam could as well if they were smart about completing their own mating bond" says Kai as he looks to his Alpha's.. "Speaking of mom and dad" I start as I glance towards the clock once more. "They should be done with their meeting just about now so let's head over to their office and talk to them." "Good idea" and with that said the four of us all move to stand before making our way over to our parents office as mother usually shared one with father in the Alpha's office which left her office untouched and unused. -Alpha Alarick's Office- "Of course Councilman, my son's know that they must attend the mating ball that is to be hosted in just days with the Moon Walker Pack" speaks Alarick, a man who stood 6'3 with black hair and blue eyes while sporting an athletic body as he sat behind his desk as he spoke to people on the other end of the phone.
"Good, see that they do, after all it's their job as future Alphas... it would be a shame for us if we had to be the ones to pick a chosen for them instead of their fated" says a voice on the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry they will, now if you'll excuse me gentlemen if there is nothing else to discuss I will gladly take my leave" and without further ado does Alarick move to hang up the phone not caring if he ruffled a few feathers with the council as he sighed, his wolf Rafe pacing after their phone call to the elders or council if you would.
"That bad?" asks the voice of his mate, a woman no taller than 5 '10, strawberry blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes as she moves to sit her petite frame within his lap as his arms move to hold her gently around the waist.
"Always, they need to learn to stop meddling with my sons, my sons are very capable of running this pack with or without their Luna" grumbles Alarick as he continues to hold his mate and Luna, Luna Gwen.
"I know my love but we don't want a war if we can help it" replies Gwen just as there's a knock at the door.
"Enter" calls Alarick only to see it was Ares and Eros along with Kai and Lucas. "Ah boys, welcome please have a seat".
Doing as told, the young boys all move to take a seat in the various chairs or couches that were currently placed within the office. "Thanks dad" says Eros as they give them their undivided
attention.
"Of course son, now then what seems to bring you four here when there's a ball in 2 days" asks Alarick curiously.
"About that sir" says Kai as he speaks. "Me and Lucas would like to ask if it would be possible to move into the Beta Suite once the ball is over as we have completed our mating bond". "You don't say son, congrats" grins Alarick as he looks at Kai and Lucas and their freshly mated. necks.
"Thanks sir" smiles Kai proudly that Lucas was officially his and only his.
"Your welcome, and as to answer your question Kai, yes you two can move into the Beta Suite then" answers Gwen deciding to speak up from her spot on her husband's lap. "Really? Oh thank you... Thank you my Luna, Alpha, we promise to take our roles as Beta seriously" says Kai with fierce determination.
"Easy there son, our sons aren't even Alpha yet, so don't go worrying about filling your father's shoes just yet" chuckles Alarick with a smile.
"Ops" chuckles Kai in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, just use this time to adjust to your roles as future Beta for when that time comes. you'll both know" says Alarick as he turns to look at his sons. "Now then, what brings you two here?" "Dad... Lily is back! You said she wouldn't be here for the mating ball" growls Eros as he looks to their father. "Lily?" asks Gwen with confusion. "She's with family".
"WAS" I said to her. "Apparently she cut the trip short so she could go to the ball with us in hopes "WAS" I said to her. "Apparently she cut she could be our Luna when you know we have one waiting for us". "Don't worry about Lily, you two just focus on the mating ball while me and your mother handle
her, the council just called and will not rest until the both of you have your mate" remarks Alarick with a look that said this was final and stop being a baby.
"But dad" I exclaim feeling like our father was pushing the whole Lily and ball thing aside.
"ENOUGH ARES! You and your brother will go to that ball and hope and pray that your mate is there otherwise the council will appoint one to you... You're both 23 and in 6 months tops I would like to hand over the title of Alpha to you two but I won't until you have your Luna, now stop with the whining and trust in your Moon Goddess" barks Alarick to his sons, tired of all the conflict right now.
"Fine... I see where things matter most" and with that Ares quickly moves to stand up before. moving to leave the room. Eros, Kai and Lucas
following soon after him..
Once alone, Alarick speaks again. "Do.. Do you think I was too harsh by not taking the chance to
listen?"
"No of course not love, our sons are 23 and it's time they learn to be adults and try to solve their problems on their own" replies Gwen with a gentle smile as she kisses him.
"Your right love" sighing, Alarick moves to face the Lily matter. "Now to handle Lily before she ruins our boys chances". And just like that, Alarick and Gwen move to reach out to Lily's parents to see just what the girl was up to. Chapter Comments
