“And I,” Arthur added seriously.
Lena stifled a laugh. She knew that both of them were too protective about her and wouldn’t let anyone t*ouch her. “That would be fine.”
Shawn sipped his coffee as if contemplating the idea. After a while he said, “Okay, but be sure that she isn’t hurt, because if she is, I swear I will come after you two so badly that you will not find a place to hide on this earth!” Hawk and Arthur gasped. They stared at Shawn with wide eyes. At last they nodded, not wanting to argue that they were stronger than him in every way. But then he was their mate’s father and very protective.
“Great!” Shawn said. “So she can start her training from next week. She isn’t well enough to go for physical training.”
“Can I also join the training?” Shiloh asked enthusiastically.
“No, you are too young, pup!” Arthur said condescendingly. “Maybe, next year.”
Shiloh pouted as Lia giggled on her sister’s anger.
For the whole week, Lia stayed at her home but Arthur and Hawk would come to pick up the sisters. With Gwen and Tabatha permanently suspended from the school, most other bullies stayed quiet. No one had the guts to say anything to Lia after they heard what happened to the girls who tried to k*ill her. It was Elijah who made it clear to the school administration to take very good care of Lia.
Hunter and River became restless in the meanwhile. “You have to understand Arthur,” River’s serious voice had a no-nonsense tone. “We have to declare Lia as the future Luna of the pack. We will officially welcome her in our house and also send letters to all other packs about it. She has to participate in all the official functions. She has to start so that she is seen by everyone and understands the dynamics, makes relations and conducts herself accordingly in the meeting of the Alphas. I am sure that the Elders have already come to know about it. It is a matter of time that they will p**ss your father and me to declare her as the future Luna of the pack.”
Arthur pinched the bridge bet**en his eyebrows. He was unsure that Lia would agree to it. “She wants to go to college, mom,” he said. “So I think this is a conversation you should have with her, not me”
When River stared at Hawk, he bit his apple and avoided her penetrating gaze. He really didn’t want to get into this matter. Pushing Lia was the h*ardest task ever.
“Okay fine!” River said in frustration. “I will talk to her myself!” She rose from the chair and strode out of the living hall, leaving the boys with their father.
Hunter pursed his l*ips. “Why do you have to upset your mother? Couldn’t you just say that you would talk to Lia?”
“But father, you know that Lia wants to go to college. With the exams coming up, she barely has time to do warrior training. Do you think she would want the responsibility of the new Luna?” Arthur argued.
“Arthur, Arthur!” Hunter shook his head. “I know that, but there’s a way to deflect an argument. I mean, learn these tricks. They will be beneficial to you in the future. The argument would be stalled for a few days. Then you have time to think about it.”
“What if the situation remains the same?” Hawk asked, leaning forward.
“Then you keep stalling it,” Hunter grinned.
“I love you dad!” Hawk smiled and Hunter winked.
It was 11 PM on Sunday night and Lia was still finishing her homework. Arthur and Hawk had finished theirs and were trying to coax her to come with them to a new pub and restaurant that had opened in the pack’s territory. “I can’t go!” she said. “I need to finish this project and-” She drew a circle with a compass. “In the morning I have my warrior training, courtesy of both of you. So I have to sleep early for my b*ody to perform better. It will take another hour!”
Hawk pursed his l*ips, slumping on her bed. “You are such a killjoy!” Lia threw a paper weight at him which he caught in the air and chuckled.
“Why don’t you stay with us tonight?” Arthur suggested. “Once you’ve finished your project, we can go to this pub. From there, you can come to stay with us. We will wake you up in the morning for the training.” Lia scratched the back of her head as if pondering over the idea. “I can do that… but on a condition.”
“State your condition,” Arthur said gravely, knowing fully well that he would agree to all her conditions. The fagade was important.
“That we will come back from the pub in an hour. I need my beauty sleep!”
“Done!” Arthur replied.
An hour later, she was dressed in a navy dress that clung to her b*ody and stopped just over her knees. She tied her curly hair in a bun, applied a l*ip gloss, wore her stilettos and was ready. She smiled at them. “I am ready.”
The twins gulped. She looked gorgeous as sin.
“Goddess, I hope I don’t have to k*ill someone today,” Hawk rasped. Lia giggled. “Let’s go!”
The pub was not so crowded and they got a place on the terrace. It was a lovely night with a clear sky that was dazzled by the stars. “This is beautiful!” Lia said as she sat on the couch along with Arthur. Arthur couldn’t let go of her waist. He stared at her and breathed, “Hmm, beautiful is the right word.”
Hawk sat across them with a love-sick exp**ssion and his mind in the gutters. He removed his shoe and lifted his l*eg to trail up her l*eg. “Hawk!” she chided him.
“Hmmm?” His l*eg went higher, higher, higher and she blushed when it reached her p*anties.
Lia clenched her t*highs to trap his l*eg in bet**en hers. His c*hest vibrated with a rumble. “Do you want me to f*uck you right here?” Hawk said, his eyes fl**kering golden.
Arthur chuckled as he traced his f*ingers on the side of her arm. “She is punishing you for making her w*t.”
“Are you w*t for me baby girl?” Hawk asked, l**king his l*ips.
“Shut up!” she breathed. “This is a public place and stop being so lewd.” She smacked his foot away. Hawk growled with disapproval but he didn’t do it again.
“What would you like to have?” Arthur asked, picking up the c*ocktail menu.
“You can’t have alcohol!” Lia said, pulling away the menu from him. “You are not even 21.”
He laughed and p**ssed a k*iss on her cheek. “Why are we in the pub?”
“To eat a pizza or a burger!”
“Do they allow you to enter a pub in the human world?” he asked, leaning back on the sofa with his h*and now on her b*uttocks.
“No, they ask for age verification to have alcohol.”
Arthur pulled the menu back from her. “In our world, they allow us to get in the pubs and bars as soon as you are eighteen.”
“What?” Why?” Lia was shocked.
“Because our capacity to have alcohol is much higher than normal humans,” he said, signaling a waiter. “We can have four times that amount and still be sober.”
“Ridiculous! I don’t believe it,” Lia huffed and drank water.
The waiter came, Arthur gave him order to bring two single-malt whisky and one fresh lime soda.
“Why do I get to have a lime soda while you both will have whiskey?” she argued. “Even I want whiskey.” Hawk laughed. “No baby girl. You are a human and drinking is not allowed for you until you are 21.” Lia crossed her arms across her c*hest and pouted. “Not fair. I should go by the rules of this world.” The whiskey arrived with lime soda and a variety of snacks including salted peanuts, cashew nuts, nachos with salsa and chicken burgers. The three munched on the snacks and drinks as they talked about school and college and future plans. It was in the last when Lia grabbed Arthur’s glass and poured the whiskey down her t*hroat. Her t*hroat burned and she closed her eyes. Her cheeks heated and she felt like a pit of fire exploded i*nside her stomach. “F*uck!”
