Ember's POV 

 

The horror on the faces of the Lycan Kings soon morphed to rage. Their eyes both turned red and the temperature in the room suddenly felt icy. As much as I wanted to pretend to be unaffected and act tough, I couldn't help the cold feeling that ran through my entire system. 

 

"You don't get to reject us Ember," Tyler growled, taking menacing steps towards me and I moved backwards, sinking into bed, my heart beating very fast in fear. 

 

"Tyler," Alec got in front of Tyler, stopping him from getting to me. 

 

"Control yourself, you're scaring her!" Alec said. I bit my lips, trying to stop my hand from shaking but I couldn't, it felt like it had a mind of it's own.

 

I've always heard people talk about how scary the Lycan brothers can be but experiencing it first hand, I have to say the stories didn't do justice to how scary they looked when they are angry. 

 

I knew they weren't going to hurt me. I don't know what gave me that assurance but I could feel it within me that no matter how angry they get, they won't hurt me but it still didn't change the fact that they had a domineering aura, one I couldn't resist. 

 

Both brothers got into a fierce staring contest, scaring the shit out of me. The look in their eyes felt like they were going to tear each other to pieces. I couldn't help but be worried. 

 

Rejecting the Lycan Kings was probably a bad idea and move on my part.

 

What the hell was I thinking anyways? 

 

That I'll reject them and things would just end in a jovial mood? 

 

Both brothers soon calmed down and took a step away from each other, Alec swirling around to face me. His cold intense eyes made me feel exposed before him. I looked away, focusing on other things in the room. 

 

"Ember," Alec called calmly and I involuntarily looked up, meeting his eyes. 

 

"I do not accept your rejection," he said coldly and I felt shiver run down my spine. My wolf felt contented knowing our mate was not as crazy as I was, doing things without thinking.

 

"I reject your rejection, Ember,". Tyler said as well, frowning and I grimaced.

 

A part of me was pissed they weren't rejecting me, the other part of me was somewhat happy that they were not willing to let me go. My emotions were jumbled, I guess this was what I get for being mated to the infamous Lycan Kings.

 

"You should have simply rejected me and let me go. This is what I want and I'm not only doing this for myself, I'm doing you both a favor as well. You wouldn't want someone like me as your Luna. I'm incapable of loving you or being your mate. You've done a lot for me and my kids and that I'm grateful for. I'll forever be in your debts but the best thing is to let me go." I muttered, unable to meet their eyes. 

 

Both Alphas sauntered towards me, Tyler by my left, Alec by my right. 

 

"If you're really grateful Ember, then allow us to do more?" Tyler said, grabbing my hand and I looked up to meet his eyes, surprised. He had the most beautiful and bluest set of eyes. They reminded me of the ocean and I could help but drown in them. Something in his eyes drew me in and made me feel safe.

 

No, I shouldn't be feeling this way. I shouldn't get too close to any of them. I tried to retrieve my hand but he wouldn't let go, he held on tight to it.

 

"Don't you understand? I can't love you guys the way you want me to. All I want is revenge! All I can think about is revenge! My sole aim is to make all those that made my life miserable suffer and beg for their lives," I gritted my teeth in anger, my heart burning in fury. 

 

Alec grabbed my other hands, startling me and sending a cold chill through my entire system.

 

"Then let us help you, Ember. It doesn't matter if you don't love us back in return but allow us to help you take revenge on all those that have hurt you even if it means using us for your own selfish reasons," Alec chirped, taking me by surprise. Tyler nodded, agreeing with him and I couldn't help but wonder if they were both crazy. 

 

Why will they ask me to use them when it's obvious that I'm just being selfish. 

 

"Because you're our mate," they both said together as though they could read my mind.

 

"We've waited years for a mate, Ember and we are not about to lose you so easily. You're ours, November Adams and we're never letting you go!" Tyler deadpanned, drawing lines on my arm. 

 

I frowned, feeling displeased. They wouldn't reject me and they were being unreasonable. 

 

"Even if you don't want us Ember, think about your kids. They will need a place to stay, clothes to wear and people like us to teach them," Alec said, pointing out one main issue I have refused to think about. 

 

He was right, I didn't have anywhere to go and my kids needed somewhere safe to stay. I couldn't put my babies through suffering because I was too selfish to swallow my pride and accept help from my mates. 

 

"They'll also need a father," Alec added and I felt my heart clench in pain. I'm reminded of the fact their father rejected me, rejecting them as well even before he got to meet them. 

 

"Not only are we going to support you in your plan to have revenge, we'll also be fathers to Atlas, Levi and Arabella," Alec said, assuring me and I felt tears well up in my eyes. 

 

"They won't have to grow up without a father. They will have two fathers who both happen to be the Lycan Kings and very strong Alphas," Tyler smirked, wearing a proud look on his face. 

 

"But I-"

 

"Shhh," Tyler placed his hands on my lips, stopping me from saying whatever it is I wanted to say. 

 

"Don't think about it Ember, just allow us to help you. It's ok for you to be selfish and use us to actualize your plans for revenge, we don't mind so long we get to be by your side, protecting you and the kids."

 

"Allow us to help you Ember," Alec added, stroking my hands and the boys chose that period to wake up, Atlas bursting into tears immediately. 

 

"Coming up," Tyler grinned, walking away and picking up Atlas, trying to calm him down.

 

"Good thing Levi is the calmer one but I still better go pick him up as well so he won't be envious of his brother," Alec gave me a small smile, going to pick up Levi as well.

 

Tears glistened in my eyes as I watched the Lycan Kings treat my boys like their own with no care in the world. 

 

My kids deserves a father as they are growing up and I wasn't going to be a selfish mother and deny them of that.
