Mate 1.1

January 2, 2018

As I woke up the following morning, I had this odd feeling that I was being watched. I rolled over in bed, and I sleepily opened my eyes, wondering why I felt this way. But what I saw startled me so bad that I shot straight up in bed, my heart pounding in my chest as I saw the giant black wolf laying on the floor, peering up at me with those all too familiar eyes that sent a tremble through my body.

"Gio, you startled me." I whispered, self conscious of what I was wearing, "what are you doing in here?"

I realized too late that what I said was rude to speak that way to a Royal. But Gio didn't seem to care as he remained on the floor, and the movement of his shoulders kind of reminded me of somebody just shrugging their shoulders. I gnawed nervously on my bottom lip, wondering what was going on here. Where's Kit? And especially where is my dad who would freak if he knew Gio was in here with me, especially in his wolf form. To wolves, if you are not out on a run, being in your wolf form with another is a very personal thing, which is normally between family members or wolves who are either mated or being courted.

Gio - - - Jordan and Kit went out on patrol, I wanted to be in here with you. I didn't want to wake you up, so I just made my way in here and let you sleep. Should I have woken you up? You were sleeping peacefully.

"Um, no, it's okay. You just surprised me." I told him, wondering how a wolf form could look so beautiful, but yet so scary, "I just really wasn't expecting to see you in your wolf form. Normally you only do that with people you're personally close to."

Gio - - - I know.

My heart practically skipped a beat as he said that. The way he just said it so clearly, it made me feel weird inside. If Gio knew that, does that mean he sees me on a personal level? Because I'm not his mate, nor am I his family, so what could this really mean? What if Kit came home and saw this? Would he be mad that Gio is doing this to me in a personal level? They are twins, and as Kit had stated yesterday, they wished to share their mate. So is Gio seeing me as a potential mate and wishing to court me? Because that's what it's looking like at this point. And if this is the case, how does Kit feel about it? Does he even know? The questions ran through my head, and I leaned forward, fully intending to ask Gio exactly what I was thinking.

"Gio, I-" I began.

All of a sudden, my bedroom door flew open, banging against the wall, and I jumped, half expecting my dad to barge into my bedroom. But I was even more surprised to see a half naked Kit march into the room, an unreadable expression on his face. I gulped when I saw the bulge beneath his shorts, very obvious to the sight. I blushed and quickly looked away, seeing Gio had also shifted back into his human form, putting on his shorts.

"Your father is still out on patrol." Kit murmured, turning his attention to me, "why don't you get dressed, and Gio and I will take you to meet our friends."

I frowned, wondering why they wanted me to do that, "why do you want me to meet your friends? I'm nobody really important to meet Royals, including yourselves. I-"

In the blink of an eye, I was pinned down onto the bed, and Kit was on top of me, the weight of his body pressing me down. I gulped, inhaling his scent, feeling the weight of a full masculine man on top of me. The arousal that settled inside of me, having always wanted an Alpha male, hit me hard and it took everything in me to keep it under control. Kit's eyes kept trained on mine, a dark, animalistic look on his face.

"Trust me, you are more than important to meet the Royals." Kit growled, and my heart pounded erratically in my chest as Gio moved up on the bed, laying on his side facing us, eyes dark, "I just don't see how you haven't realized our intentions yet. We've been pretty obvious about it."

I frowned, wondering if it is what I've been thinking, "I don't know. I don't want to assume something that isn't true."

"And what are you assuming?" Gio asked huskily.

I flushed, biting on my bottom lip as I averted my eyes, not wanting to see the look on their face when I said the thing that wasn't true, "well, you said yesterday that you guys want to share mates... and it seems like you are deeming me as a potential mate."

Gio nor Kit said anything, and I felt the disappointment settle inside of me. I fought back the tears, realizing then that I definitely had over thought it. I chuckled, hiding my disappointment but I knew that it was most likely clear on my face.

"See, I told you it wasn't true." I whispered, shaking my head, "I'm sorry, it was dumb of me. I-"

"Shut up." Kit growled, cupping my cheek and forcing me to look at him, "you're right. That's exactly the case."

My eyes widened slightly, "what?"

"Gio and I, we see you as a potential mate." Kit explained, his eyes moving to look at my lips, "from what we can tell, you have not been with any other wolves sexually, just like us, and you have not thrown yourself at us like others have. So this can deem that you are not interested in us just because of our title. But I must tell you, your arousal, well, it makes it hard to not just want to claim you here and now."

My breath hitched, "I-"

Before I could do anything, Kit rolled off of me and got up to his feet, "get dressed. We're going to take this slow, because I want you to come to us when you know for sure that you want us to be your mates. Gio and I will wait for you in the living room."

Gio got off the bed, too, and without a second glance, they walked out of my bedroom, closing the door behind them. And all I could do was lay in my bed, and stare up at the ceiling. I can't believe this just happened, because now I have the possibility of having the two top Alpha males in our pack to become my mates, and I had no idea how to feel about this.

I mean, I wouldn't mind being their mate, but that would be a big responsibility that I don't know if I will be ready for.
