I truly do love John. I loved that he was comfortable enough with me now, that he could cuddle up to me in the bath even with Theo sitting across from us. In the beginning, I knew John struggled to fully accept me as his mate after everything. It hurt to see him focus most of his attention and affections to Theo. It took a long time for him to get comfortable enough to even flirt with me. So him leaving Theo’s lap to come sit in my lap made not just me, but Geri too, beyond thrilled. It was an indescribable happiness.

I leaned my face down into his neck, breathed in one deep, intoxicating breath. Then I began peppering gentle kisses up and down his neck. Hearing a grown, buff, and sometimes brute-like, man giggle is such a weird thing, but I do love this sound so much. It was such a beautiful sound.

“That is a beautiful sound.” Theo said, almost as if he read my mind. I snorted out a laugh causing them to both look at me questioningly.

“Well that was weird.” Geri noted.

“Sorry, I wasn’t laughing at what you said, I was laughing because I was literally thinking the exact same thing, then you said it out loud.” I answered their unasked question. Theo smiled, and John laughed. And my lips found their way back to the crook of John’s neck. John tilted his head to the side, giving me more space to trail kisses. He gave a happy sigh, sounding content, which made my heart pound happily in my chest. I could stay in this moment forever… too bad Theo had other plans.

“Okay my sweets, we have plans for today. We need to get moving.” Theo sounded incredibly excited to get our little show on the road. Him and John have been acting like two children hiding candy from their parents all week. I didn’t know if I should be jealous that they have this huge secret together, or if I should be excited for this huge plan they have for today. I can only assume it’s a big date or something like that. But I didn’t want to get my hopes up for what the date could be for… So I mostly ignored the weird feelings.

We were on the road to mine and Theo’s Pack house, which is weird because technically John isn’t allowed to go there yet since he’s human still and unmarked. Which is why we always spent so much time at John's house. I asked how we were able to bring John home with us, but neither of them ever answered the question. They just kept beating around the bush and avoiding an actual answer. Their weird behavior was starting to get under my skin.

“I get you’re the Alpha, but even you still have to follow the Pack rules. I just want to know what happens when YOU get in all kinds of trouble for bringing an unmated human into the territory. I mean how does an Alpha even get punished?” Theo just smirked, and I knew he wasn’t going to answer. But John’s reaction is what got my attention, because he had this look on his face that said he had some dirty thoughts.

“I mean… I can always teach you how to punish the Alpha.” The seductive tone to John’s voice let me know exactly what he was implying.

“Oh I like his idea, let’s learn how to punish our Alpha.” Geri said sounding either excited, or turned on… or maybe both… I couldn’t tell.

“That’s a lesson I’ll be sure to take notes on.” I leaned forward and wrapped my arms around the drivers seat, and groped Theo’s chest slowly.

“Look, I’m not apposed to stopping on the side of the road, and fucking your brains out to put you both in your place if you don’t behave yourselves boys.” Theo retorted. John and I just chuckled and I removed my hands.

“Hot Damn! Tell him to pull over! Let’s get laid!!!” Geri is clearly in the mood right now.

“Now really isn’t the time. We were only teasing Theo.” I replied to him.

“That’s definitely not a threat… I would  enjoy every second of it. But in all seriousness, when do I get to be clued in on what’s happening? Bringing a human to the Pack house is a huge deal, and you guys are acting like this is just another day of the week.” I asked again.

“Babe, you keep asking, and we keep ignoring. You will know when we’re there.” Theo said. I sighed in defeat.

“I really hate that they’re keeping shit from us. Not even Fen is telling me anything. It’s irritating.” I agreed with Geri. This is frustrating.

We finally pulled up to our gated property. I watched as the guard wolves opened the gate for us, while shooting us some questioning looks – mostly in John’s direction. This was obviously John’s first time here, so he didn’t really know how to react to the way the guards were staring. I let out a low warning growl towards them, which made Theo finally realize they were making John uncomfortable.

“Knock it off. You are making my mate uncomfortable.” Theo said in an Alpha tone. The guards immediately backed off, and we continued into the territory.

“Well that was awkward.” John said with a nervous laugh. “I suppose they don’t take kindly to non-wolf types?”

“Clearly they forgot their manners in the presence of their Alpha.” Theo said sounding irritated.

“Comfort him, he smells distressed.” I hadn’t noticed it until Geri pointed that out. John was definitely stressed out, and uncomfortable about being here.

“It’s okay John. If they look at you again, I’ll put them in their place.” I patted his shoulder to comfort him as best I could from the back seat of the car.

Pulling up to the Pack house, several wolves were wondering about on the front yard a few glanced our way, slightly bowing their head at Theo as he got out of the car. Everyone knew he had two mates by now, and they knew I was one of them. But since this is the first time John has ever been anywhere near here, they did not know Theo’s second mate was human.

“Everyone mind their gazes, and do not stare at my mates. There is to be a Pack meeting at the house in one hour, mandatory presence is requested by every member.” I heard Fenris’ voice echoing in my head. I was surprised it was Fen’s voice, not Theo’s, but I guess when you share a mind it’s easy for one to know when to do things for the other.

“Let’s get this show on the road boys!” Theo said excitedly giving his hands one loud clap together. He was basically skipping his was into the house, while John and I trailed behind holding hands. John squeezed my hand, letting me know he was still feeling uncomfortable and nervous around all these other wolves. I looked at him, and he gave me a nervous smile. When I looked in to his eyes, I realized the nervousness was directed to me, not the other people starting to crowd in. I quirked my eyebrow in a questioning look.

“Is everything okay?” I whispered into his ear.

“Yes of course. Nothing says ‘totally normal’ like meeting an entire Pack of wolves that my two boyfriends happen to run together.” He started rambling nervously. “Honestly, I don’t know what I should be more nervous about at this point.” He stopped talking abruptly as if he realized what was about to come out of his mouth. I narrowed my eyes at him. Something big was happening, there’s no denying that. I wanted to question it, but I knew he wouldn’t answer. That, and the entire Pack was now filing into the great hall. John and I made our way to the front of the hall and we stood on either side of Theo.

“Welcome! Thank you for taking time away for your daily routines to join me here today.” Theo started, soundly like the Alpha he was. “I asked you all to join me here today firstly so that I could introduce to you my second mate.” Theo turned towards John and reached his hand out, beckoning John to come closer to him. “This is Johnathan Isla Walton. As you can all probably smell, he is human.” Theo smiled proudly at the crowd. Before the Pack could descend into murmurs over the introduction, Theo kept talking. “The second bit of news is that, after months of Jason and I rebuilding our friendship, and relationship, and John and Jason learning to accept and love each other… Johnathan has finally agreed to fully mate with the two of us.” I turned my head to them in complete shock. “And the final bit of news I would like to share with you is that I, Alpha Theodore Isaac Matthews, accept Johnathan Isla Walton and Beta Jason Elliot Field as my mates from this day forward.” My mouth was gaping open as I just stared, shell shocked, at my mates. Johnathan stepped closer to Theo, nervously grabbing his hand before talking.

“I, Johnathan Isla Walton, accept Alpha Theodore Isaac Mathews and Beta Jason Elliot Field as my mates from this day forward. And all that being mates entails for me as a human.” I could feel the emotion bubbling in my chest. So this was their big secret. They both turned to me, looking at me expectantly.

“I, Beta Jason Elliot Field, accept Alpha Theodore Isaac Matthews and Johnathan Isla Walton as my mate from this day forward.” I felt the hot tears roll down my cheeks before I could stop them. They both smiled at me proudly.

“It’s about fucking time! Thank the goddess above!” Geri rejoiced excitedly.

“Now, you may be wondering way our Beta here is a little emotional today. Well, after all the drama the three of us went through to start this relationship, John and Jason’s relationship with each other was less than ideal, which jeopardized our entire relationship. I had originally rejected Jason,” I felt my heart ache painfully at the mention of that, “so today was a surprise for him. He had no idea John and I planned this acceptance ceremony for weeks together. We wanted to surprise him with this because John wanted him and his entire family to know that he is ready to give his heart to Jason. Tonight we will complete our mating, tomorrow we will have the Luna ceremony. It will take place when the full moon is at her peak in the night. That ceremony will not allow the pups, or be mandatory for those who wish not to participate. Seeing as it will be John’s first full moon after mating, it will be the first time he will shift into his wolf as well. Which means the ceremony will be quite long. We hope to see many of you there.”

Finally, I stepped closer to Theo, and he moved his arms to wrap one around my waist and the other around John’s waist. We stood at the head of the hall as the Pack erupted in cheers for us. The cheering last for a long time, and the three of us stood and smiled at the acceptance of our Pack. Gradually members came up to us to congratulate us. Almost every one was totally genuine, there were few who continued to give John dirty looks, and even one girl split her nasty looks between John and ME. I could smell her jealousy seeping from her. And something else that I couldn't quite place...

“Who was she?” I asked Theo through our link.

“Morgan Gibson. She’s obsessed with me to the stalker point of obsession. I’m surprised she never realized I am gay. I’ve literally never shown any woman ever any kind of interest, and yet here she is giving nasty stares to my mates because she’s jealous.” Theo over explained. I snickered at him, causing John to look over.

“We’ll tell you later, when there’s not so many eavesdropping ears around.” I said, reassuringly.

“I bet I could place money on what it’s about.” John said, turning his piercing gaze towards Morgan. Morgan’s face turned pink as she realized we were talking about her, and her inappropriate behavior. John and I both giggled like school girls at the sight.

“Both of you stop. Now you’re the ones being rude.” Theo said calmly. We stifled our laughing, as tough as it was, and both leaned in to Theo to kiss either side of his cheeks. He smiled lovingly at us.

Just then, I heard a high pitched squeal, causing all three of us to jump in surprise. I turned my head to see what it was about, just in time to catch a girls flying body. She wrapped her arms around her neck and her legs around my hips and clung to me like a baby koala. Theo just laughed at her antics. John, however, looked slightly irritated. Thankfully, Theo caught that rather quickly, and leaned over to tell John that this girl was Thomasine, or Tommi, Field, my half-sister. Though that bit of explanation did little to sooth John’s frustrations. After meeting Morgan, John’s good mood had yet to actually pick back up.
