Chapter 3

Marked

Trent looked up at his Alpha’s and Luna’s, he looked at Jack who gave him a small nod of encouragement.

“Alpha’s, Luna’s, I know that Loralei is too good for me. I don’t know why the Goddess fated me to her, but what I do know is this. The minute Magnus and I recognized Loralei as our mate, we knew that this was it for us. Our world stood still and she became our whole life, I may not be worthy, but I will live everyday to prove myself to her. I will become worthy of her, of being her mate”, he looked around at everyone, making sure to make eye contact with each person in the room.

Trent got on one knee in front of Loralei, “Loralei, I promise to never hurt you and to never do anything to put you in harms way. I know that my past isn’t pretty, but I promise to be the mate you deserve. I will always put you first, you are my now, my future, and my forever. Will you give me a chance, please?”, he finished.

Loralei looked at Trent, “Trent, you are my mate and my equal, don’t talk about yourself that way. The Moon Goddess knows what she’s doing and I accept you as my mate. Your past does annoy me, but only because others have had what is mine. You are mine and I am yours, but think this through, being my mate comes with a lot of responsibility”, she finished.

Trent stood up, he pulled Loralei to her feet and hugged her, “Thank you, ku’u aloha”, he kissed her forehead. (My Love).

Trent spent most of his summers with his grandparents in Hawaii, his grandmother made him learn their native language.

Xavier cleared his throat, “Trent, I’m warning you, if you hurt my daughter, I will kill you”.

Kane did not like that his pup had Trent as a mate, “I will rip his fucking heart out if he hurts my pup”, Kane growled to Xavier who agreed with him.

“Jack, sweetheart, how are you feeling?”, Mariana asked her son.

He looked at his mom and smiled. “I’m good mom, I’ll not question what decisions the goddess has made”, he looked at Loralei and smiled at her.

Mariana nodded her head, Lee looked at his son. “I’m proud of you son, I’m proud of the man you are”, he hugged his son.

Theo and Jocelyn stood up, she went to hug her son. Jocelyn was happy that her son found his mate, she knows that he’ll be a faithful and loving mate.

“Thank you Loralei, for giving my son a chance”, she hugged the princess who smiled.

Theo is still apprehensive, he also knows that his son Charlie will not take the news well. Theo knows that he’s hard on his son, but he wants what’s best for him.

Xander and Xavier hugged their daughter and deadpanned stared at Trent as they walked out. Mariana and Lee hugged Loralei and left the room as well.

Nahla took a deep breath, “Your fathers love you baby, they are just worried”, she hugged her niece.

“Congratulations”, she said to Trent and left in search of her mates.

“Take care of my baby”, Selene said to Trent.

“On my life”, he promised his Queen, his right hand over his heart.

She looked at Jack, “I did what you asked of me”, she smiled and hugged the trio.

“Don’t forget, the party starts in a few hours”, she left the room leaving the three of them alone.

Loralei looked at Jack, her eyebrows raised, “I don't know what your mom was talking about”, he shrugged and looked away.

Loralei went to sit on the couch, “We have a few things to talk about”, she started.

Her mates nodded and sat down next to her. She cleared her throat nervously and began.

“Trent, you need to know that I’ll not treat you any differently than Jack. You both are my mates and will be treated equally”, Trent smiled at her.

“I also would like to get to know you more before we move on physically. I’ll let you and Jack decide if you want to share a room with me or separate rooms, and I’ll alternate days of who I spend the night with if you want separate bedrooms”, she wanted to be clear that he had a say in the matter.

“Same room”, the men said at the same time.

Both men refused to spend a night without their mate. Loralei blushed.

“When I’m crowned the Queen of Andora we’ll be moving there”, she said looking at Trent.

He looked at her understanding, “My place is with you U’i”, (Beautiful). She smiled happily at him, she wanted both her mates with her.

“Does anyone have any questions?”, she asked.

Trent cleared his throat, “Where do you want me to live in the meantime?”, he asked his mate. Hoping she would feel the same as he did, never wanting to be without her.

She thought for a minute before responding. “I’ll have the head maid move my stuff, your stuff and Jacks stuff into one of the empty houses on pack grounds, she concluded.

“That’s a good idea baby”, Jack kissed her forehead.

“Very good babe”, Trent kissed her cheek.

“That’s all for me then, I’ll take it as slow as you want, I promise to be the man you deserve”, Loralei smiled and gave Trent a kiss on the cheek.

Jack looked at his mate and Trent, “I have a few things to say”, he started.

“Firstly Trent, I want you to know that I’m not mad. I hold no ill will nor jealousy towards you, but if you hurt our mate, I won’t hesitate to kill you”, he looked at Trent in the eyes.

“Thank you, I promise to never hurt our mate”, he answered honestly.

“Secondly, Loralei and I have waited years to complete the mating process, I understand that you are her mate as well, but I intend to mark and mate Loralei before the night ends”, his tone serious.

Trent nodded in understanding, he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, but he has no one to blame but himself. Their mate deserves her first time to be with Jack, he has waited for her all these years.

“Thirdly, we will discuss our duties to our future Queen in a few days. I’ll soon be the Head Advisor for Andora, you’re a great warrior and tracker, I believe that it’s best to utilize your skills for the Kingdom”, he said.

Trent puffed his chest out proudly, he was trained by the best warrior in Silver Moon, his father. Jack’s a skilled warrior as well, but his duties will keep him busy, he’s happy that Loralei will have Trent.

“That’s all from me then”, he finished.

Loralei smiled at both of her mates. “Just because you both are my mates doesn't mean we’ll be doing everything together. I plan on spending one on one time with the both of you”, she said much to their delight.

“Now we have a party to finish getting ready for”, she stood up, both her mates following her.

Jack excused himself, he had to make sure his plans for tonight were coming along. He also wanted Trent to spend time with their mate.

Loralei smiled shyly, she and Trent walked back to her room and sat on the chaise. They began to talk and get to really know one another. Loralei was happy, she got to see a side of Trent she never knew about.

“I didn't know you’re from Hawaii”, Loralei said.

Trent nodded his head, “My mother is from Hawaii. When my dad accompanied the Alpha’s to an important pack meeting there, he and mom found each other. Mom decided to move to Silver Moon and my grandparents made sure my brother and I went to visit them at least twice a year”, he finished.

“So you speak ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i?”, she asked excitedly.

“Pēpē wau, hiki ‘ole ia’u ke kali e ‘ono i kou lehelehe”, he whispered into her ear. (I do baby, I can’t wait to taste your lips.) Loralei instinctively clamped her legs shut, Magnus growled in approval as he smelled her arousal.

“What did you say?”, she whispered, not trusting her voice.

“How about I show you?”, he answered.

With that he crashed his lips onto hers, Loralei leaned into the kiss. Trent nipped her bottom lip asking for entrance and she obliged. They explored each others mouth for the next few minutes.

Trent sat Loralei on his lap as he devoured her pouty lips. One hand on her ass, the other on the back of her neck as he deepened their kiss. He poured all his want into it.

“I want to mark you”, Loralei said, surprising herself.

Trent nodded and bared his neck to her and she let Lyla surface. Lyla placed tender kisses on his neck, growls of approval from Magnus encouraged her further. She licked and nibbled the spot that will bond them for eternity.

Lyla sank her teeth into his neck, Trent couldn't help the moan that escaped his mouth. He has never experienced pleasure like this before, Lyla licked her mark, sealing their bond. Loralei looked down at her mate, her face a deep shade of red.

“I love it when you blush, you’re so beautiful”, Trent said.

“That should keep those sluts away from you”, Lyla growled.

“Lyla is very possessive, she nor I will tolerate anyone who thinks that they have a claim on you”, Loralei said.

“You had my heart the minute we recognized you as our mate, ka’u may mea āpau”, he pecked her lips. (My everything)

After talking for a few more minutes Trent left to get ready and Jack came to get Loralei and escort her to the party.
