“Of course you can, but Arthur and I can also teach you.”
“Wonderful!” she breathed. “And there’s one thing that is gnawing at my heart.”
“What?” he asked with a frown.
“I know it is important for you and Arthur to stay in your pack and help your father and mother, but I can’t stay without you two. I mean-” Her l*ips downturned. “I want to be with both of you.” Even the thought of parting with them was like daggers to her heart. She placed the notepad and pen on the side table.
Hawk let out an exasperated breath. “I don’t know about Arthur, but I will come with you. It would be impossible for me to stay without you.” He pulled her closer to him and wrapped her t*highs with his l*eg. She snuggled in his c*hest and inhaled his scent as he stroked her hair. He leaned over and l*icked his mark over her n*eck. “Between Arthur and me, I am more impulsive and aggressive. My wolf would go berserk without his mate. I need you to always stay by my side in order to remain sane.”
She k*issed him on his c*hest. She craned her n*eck up and k*issed his chin. “Thank you, Hawk. I can’t stay without you also. I don’t know why but after you’ve marked me, I feel a strange bond between us which is so strong that the idea of it getting severed is like—” she shook her head. “I’d rather die.”
He pulled her t*ightly against him. “It is natural, baby girl,” he said. “That’s the law of the Moon Goddess.”
They remained silent for a long time in each other’s arms. At last, Hawk asked, “What have you decided about marriage?”
She took a deep breath. “I have to talk to Arthur also.”
“Sure,” he said, k*issing the crown of her head.
They came out to be with the family and everyone greeted them excitedly. Arthur and Hunter weren’t there and Lia came to know that they had gone to the office.
“But is it okay to announce me as the official Luna even before our wedding?” she asked Shawn.
“Do you want to stop them?” he asked. “Because if you wouldn’t want it, I will ask them to stop it now.”
“No, that’s not what I mean.”
Shawn held her h*ands in between his large one. “Lia, I understand what you are thinking. This world is different. Mates are revered. Finding mates is very sacred. It used to be extremely rare because of the enmities between packs, but now more and more Lycans and wolves have found mates. Having said that, it is rare for two Alphas to find one girl as their mate and that one girl is a human. While I understand that you don’t want to get married so fast and get tied down to your duties, this is not how they think. For them it is a celebration. Yet, they are willing to adjust for you. In my opinion, you should cut some slack out here.”
Lia laughed as she rested her head on her father’s arm. “I thought you were against it all.”
“What? Never!” He countered. “I was ever against it, but you were above all of it.”
“Oh daddy!” She hugged him from the side and k*issed his arm. “You are the best daddy in the world.”
“How many daddies have you had, Lia?”
Lia burst into laughter. “None.” Suddenly she stopped laughing. “I wished Garry would become my daddy, but he had other intentions.”
Arthur came to sit next to them. He picked up a gr*ape from the plate and popped it in his m*outh.
“What kind of intentions?” Shawn asked, wary of her words.
Lia pursed her l*ips. “He-” She looked away.
“Lia?” Shawn held her jaw softly and turned her face to him. “You have to tell me.”
“He tried to r-r*ape me.”
Arthur jumped up as a dangerous growl left his c*hest, while Shawn’s eyes were wide with shock. “R*ape you?”
“I am going to k*ill that bastard!” Arthur growled.
“It’s fine! Don’t get your knickers twisted,” Lia said. “He doesn’t know where I am and I don’t care for him.” For the next two days, Lia attended the school with the twins but she didn’t talk much about the marriage part. Hunter also decided not to send the official letters so soon. Lia talked to Arthur, asking him the same questions and she received the same answers except for one. Arthur wasn’t sure that he could accompany her to the college. And that made her very sad.
It was on the Saturday evening after dinner when they were all sitting in the living hall that she breached the topic. “I have thought about it all a lot over the past few days and-” she glanced at her mates who she knew waited for her decision with a bated breath. “And I have decided that I will marry my mates.”
“Whoop!”
“Yay!”
“Congratulations!”
There was so much cheering in the room that Lia gushed. She giggled. Arthur and Hawk looked relieved. They both smiled at her and then hugged as if silently complementing each other.
