What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

Zelda POV’s

It was time for breakfast and the maid led me towards the dining room. To be honest, I have been on my toes when I heard about my new brothers. I wondered how they would look like and how they were going to treat me.

Would they accept me just like their father or would they ignore me seeing their father married my mom barely a week after their mother's death?

I was still deep in thoughts when I got to the dining room. I felt my heart pacing in a fast-paced rhyming pattern. My wolf which had remain silent since we moved here sprang out. It howled loudly in my head, calling out something that felt surreal.

My eyes moved all over the place until it began to rest on the faces of the most handsome young men I had ever met. Cold, hot and lively personalities filled the air.

Wait.... it couldn't be what I was thinking, was it?

"Mate!" I and the triplets screamed as we stared at each other with our mouths widely opened.

Silence lurked around the dining room, shocked expressions on everyone's face. The Lycan King and my Mum wasn't left out either.

It was definitely what I was thinking!

Here I was, in my room about to have my meal when the Lycan King decided to introduce his triplets to me and my Mum. He suggested we all had dinner so we would all eat together as a family.

But this was the result of it...I still can't believe they were all my mates!

It wasn't just one of them, but the trio is my mate! How? Why? How's this possible? I have never heard or seen anyone having three mates before, so why was mine different?

I know I have been hoping for my mate to find me for some years now, but I didn't expect him to be the Lycan sons. For one they were royalty and way about my level.

"What's going on here?" The Lycan King asked, after a deep moment of silent.

"Dad, she's my mate," One of the triplets said.

"Aiden, how's that possible? Your brothers also think she's their mate," He said and Aiden scoffed.

"She's also my mate!" Aiden's brothers said at the same time. Leaving me in total confusion because I didn't know how to feel it react at the moment.

"Zelda dear, are they your mate? Do you feel the mate bond for the triplets?" My mum asked, looking at me softly.

At this time, my eyes were already heavy. Wet and hot tears were already in my eyes. Confusion was an understatement for all this.

"I think so, Mum," I mumbled, picking my nails.

"How do you feel towards them dear? Can you explain? Or is it for just one of the triplets?" She asked again.

"I feel drawn to the triplets Mum, I feel like holding and hugging them all," I replied, finally I broke down, all this was wagging me down, I felt crazy and insane.

My mum immediately stood and she rushed to me and she embraced me.

"It'll be fine Zelda, you'll be fine dear," She said and I hugged her back.

"Aiden, Alax, Alaric, we have to sort everything out first, for now you shouldn't get close to her, or try to do anything stupid," The Lycan King said, not wanting to hurt me.

"But Dad! That's impossible! How can you just ask me to do such a thing? You know I can't stay away from my mate!' Aiden half yelled.

"She's not just your mate Aiden, she's also your brother, so please do not try to do anything stupid and just accept my decisions," The Lycan King replied.

"Dad I'm not doing this, she's mine!" He growled and I flinched. The way he said I was his left a tingling feeling in my belly.

"Shut up man, she's my mate too!" The other twin said.

"Ajax don't speak to your brother like that," The Lycan King said, then I guess the quiet one is Alaric.

"Why? He's saying trash and I had to stop him," Ajax replied.

"I am your older brother Ajax, I deserve your respect," Aiden fired.

"Older brother? With just two minutes? I thought you were more than that," Ajax retorted.

Is this what I'll have to face being their mate? The thought of this scared me, I had to hold on tight to my Mum, she's the only one who could protect me from them.

"You scumbag! How.."

"You guys should stop! Stop it now!" The Lycan King yelled, and total silence befell us.

"How do you think your mate would feel? Seeing you guys behave this way in front of her? You're making her scared," He said and I slowly tried to peek at them. But my eyes immediately went into that of Alaric who has been quiet all this while.

I was expecting a warm smile from him, but I was wrong. He glared at me angrily and he looked away.

I swear I felt like peeing on my body the moment he did that. This wasn't what I bargained for. I thought all mates were in love with each other? I guessed I was wrong.

"You're talking about her happiness? How do you think she'd feel if we were avoiding her?" Aiden asked, he didn't fail to show his displeasure, even though his brothers weren't saying anything.

"Dad, I've been waiting for my mate for twenty long years, and now that I've seen her, you're asking me to stay away? No I won't do that," Ajax interfered. But Alaric acted like though all this was none of his business.

"If you're talking about her safety and mental health, I have it covered, she'd be fine with me," Aiden added, not noticing the angry expression on his father's face.

"I'm done with this discussion kids, no one is allowed to mark her, or even be close to her, not until all this is sorted out," He said and he stood up.

"Dad you should ask me what we want, do not try to make decisions for me, because I know what I want," Aiden said challenging his father.

"I'm going to mark her and you won't do anything about it!" He yelled.

"I dare you!" The Lycan King growled, rising the tension among us.

"I'll see you later dear," My mum said and she went with the Lycan King. Leaving me alone to face my mate who I didn't have the guts to look at.

"Dad!" Aiden hissed, but the Lycan King was already gone.

"I expected more from you Aiden. Can't believe you're challenging Dad for this girl," Alaric said, emphasis on 'This girl'

"She's our mate Alaric, you should have at least said something to Dad," Ajax said and Alaric scoffed.

"I'll be the last person to challenge Dad for a girl, wise up man, don't be stupid like Aiden," Alaric said with a punch.

"You're insane," Ajax replied then he left.

"Not now Alaric," Aiden glared and he also left.

I would be lieing if I said I'm not scared, staying alone with Alaric.

"You!" He called as he walked towards me, while moved back in fright, hoping he'd just go back like the rest.

But he didn't until I was trapped between the walls.

"Still want to run? Run then! But you should know that you're getting yourself into hell, somewhere you can't escape from," He smirked then he tapped my cheek and he left.

I exhaled, trying to stable the breathe I was holding.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into?" I asked no one in particular.
