Lottie POV
“I don’t know how you have done it.” Lgasped, standing in front of the mirror, running my fingersover the beautiful sheer fabric, a smile dancing across my face as I saw my reflection.
“Done what?” My luna chuckled, placing a thin belt of diamante jewels around my waist, just underwhere the plunging V ended. She had already placed matching heels and stud earrings on me, andif she had had her way, I would also be wearing a damn tiara, but I had managed to talk her out ofher moment of insanity.
“Made me look beautiful,” I uttered breathlessly, watching my waist almost magically transform intoan hourglass figure that looked like all the other girls.
“Oh, sweetie.. that was all you! If you swapped the baggy hoodies and yoga pants once in a while,you would know that!” She taunted with a smile that was as sweet as honey like only a mother coulduse when delivering hard truths. Stepping back to admire her handy work. “There you are ready!”She grinned. “Well, almost!”
I eyed her from the mirror as she headed to the bed to rummage through the box that the dress hadbeen dropped off in. Leaving her to look for whatever it was she thought I still needed, I looked backat myself in the mirror. My eyes went to the marks that stood out proudly on either side of my n*eckbetween my shoulder and the curve of my throat. I instinctively knew from the way they lookedwhose was whose. Kanes was darker, more dominant on my skin, bold and unapologetic. Knox’smark was subtler and delicate but just as beautiful. I adored them both despite how nervous I felt
about people seeing them. I couldn’t help but wonder what they would say! To my face and behindmy back.
“It is unusual to have two mates, but not unheard of, Charlotte. Do not worry!” Laura offered frombehind me, making me smile at her in the mirror.
“They always did like to do everything together! I don’t know why I was so surprised that they hadchosen to do this together, too…” She chuckled as I looked

back at my marks, noting how they reminded me of their personalities, something I had nevernoticed when looking at others‘ marks. I guess I was just lucky!
Luna interrupted my thoughts of the twins by handing me a lilac, elaborately cut–out mask to lookat. I smirked, seeing that it matched the belt and heels with diamontes scattered in perfectlypositioned places to draw people’s attention to my ocean–blue eyes. Lilac silk ran from the sides tosecure it around my head. She had truly thought of everything.
“There, now you are ready!” She smiled proudly, stepping back to admire me with a satisfied nodthat made my stomach flutter.
“Gosh, my grandbabies are going to be beautiful!” She proclaimed, making me snort and shake myhead, but it was too late: those familiar fears returned, settling in the back of my mind. I couldn’t bepregnant, not yet. I had to work out what was going on with my father and this deal before hell brokeloose within the pack and those I loved got hurt.
“Thank you, Luna!” I whispered as the door to my room opened, both of us turning expecting to seean inpatient Kane or Knox, but my eyes fell on the large build of my mate’s father and my Alpha.
“Alpha!” I greeted him with a nod of respect. I may have known him all my life; he may be my bestfriend’s father and now the father to my mates, but he was my Alpha first! Always! I watched withfascination as his Luna waltzed over to him. before he had a chance to reply, hand on her hip, sassoozing from her.
“What do you think you are doing? you can’t just walk in here!” She snapped, pointing to the doorwith far too much attitude for such a small woman.
“It’s my pack house!” He huffed moodily, but I knew he was provoking her purposely, secretlyenjoying her attitude.
“AND
it’s Charlotte’s new room! What if she was in here with one of the boys?” She questioned plainly.
“Or both!” I added with a giggle that made even his cheeks burn.

“Do you want to walk in on them…” She asked, arching a brow at him while tapping her footimpatiently.
“Walk in on them.. doing what? This is a games room?” He asked, arching a brow at his mate,genuinely confused.
“Making us grandparents!” She beamed. The pair of us chuckled, watching the colour quickly drainfrom his face as he looked at me.
‘You best be kidding me! She is still a pup!” He barked to hide his shock.
“I am not!” I puffed, crossing my arms over my chest, the soft fabric caressing my skin.
“Does she look like a pup to you!” My Luna asked, resting her head on his shoulder, and I watched,filled with embarrassment, as my Alpha stepped into the room; his eyes locked on mine as hescanned me slowly, his l*ps twisting into a smile as he took in the dress.
“No… She looks just like you did the first time I saw you in that dress.” I fidgeted nervously with thebelt around my waist, unsure how to respond to him. “She looks beautiful!”
“Good enough for our sons!” He added, nodding to my new mate marks, given by his twins, as hestepped toward me to press a k*ss to my temple. “But still… too young to be having… S..E…X” Henodded to me, more mortified to be having this conversation than I was.
“From what I heard from the three of them when I entered an hour ago, it’s a bit late for birds andbees to chat!” His mate added with a chuckle that had both mine and my Alpha’s cheeks burningwith embarrassment.
“But yes, she is perfect and unquestionably good enough for the twins. Despite what some maythink!”
“Who doesn’t agree?” He growled low, turning to face his mate and then back to me. Fear licked upmy spine–slightly at the idea of having to have this conversation. As if sensing my anxiety, Lunasmiled apologetically, dragging her

“Come on, lover, it’s not important because what they think doesn’t matter! Does it Charlotte?” Sheasked, nodding to me in what I sensed was meant to be a reassuring smile.
“Tell me, I will have them flogged as the entertainment tonight.” I heard Alphal grunt as his mate ledhim from the room. But her words still hung heavy in my head because she was right. Not everyonewas on board.
“Lottie!” Sage moaned nervously. I knew some would get over it, and others. may not! But it was theconsequences that came with our union that were worrying me. Especially if the twins were right,and we had already messed up by being so n*ecklace over the last few days. I needed answers,and I needed them now.
“Shit!” I whispered, sitting down on the edge of the bed. I nodded to myself as a plan started toform, my mind made up.
“This isn’t a good idea!” I heard Sage advise me. Apprehension eating at her.
“I know, but promise me you won’t tattle on me! There is no way the twins will agree to this.. but youheard my father. If we go through with this, the twins will be the ones to pay the price of whateverdeal my father has made.. I can’t do that to
them!”
“Are you free to talk?” I asked through mindlink to the one person I knew really wouldn’t want to talkto me right now, but whose help I desperately needed.
