Vincent’s PO.V
I felt something crawling towards my heart through my veins as soon as I touched Ivory’s hand. She also gasped while widening her eyes in astonishment. I looked at others and saw them also. looking at Ivory and Crystal in shock.
All of us felt the same thing that I could see on their faces. They were all shocked and happy at the same time, especially Killian. Ivory was also shocked, but she was scared more. She was holding Pearl by her waist tightly. The only good thing was that she didn’t try to move her hand away from
our touch.
“They are all our brothers, Ivory. They are all meant to protect us from all the dangers in this world. You are safe in their presence. You don’t need to keep your guards up in front of them,” Crystal coaxed her while looking at us gently.
“Ivory.” William was the first to call her name cautiously. Ivory slowly looked at him, still having some lingering fear in her eyes. “Vincent was the one who found you outside our border, and he was the one who killed those rogues who were chasing you. Called it fate, but he is also the one who gave you his blood to save you. Both of you have the same blood group. You are destined to be our sister. It… it’s just we…. We met so late,” William said to him in a low and cautious tone.
Ivory slowly looked at me and blinked innocently. The truth was that we all still feared that she would blame us for not finding her earlier. I tried to pass her a smile, but it appeared as if I was crying.
“Do… don’t cry… don’t cry… th.. thank you… thank you fo… for saving me…… b… brother,” she immediately said to me in a panicked tone. My heart swelled with happiness when I heard her calling me brother. I wide smile immediately appeared on my l*ps. She accepted me as her brother.
“What about us, then?” William immediately asked her in a panicked tone. Ivory immediately cowered because of the intensity of his voice. “William.” I, Killian, and Violet immediately scolded him in unison. He scowled while lowering his head.
Suddenly, we all heard a light giggle. The sound was like a gentle breeze blowing amid the desert.. My eyes widened in surprise, and I looked at Ivory. She was still holding Crystal tightly, but she was the one who giggled. She was now looking at William.
“I am also your brother, Ivory… please call me brother too,” Killian asked her in a pleading tone. She looked at him cautiously, but I knew she had accepted all of us. “Brother.” She called him softly after a few seconds, and his grip on our hands immediately tightened.
I smiled while looking at his face. He had tears in his eyes now. It wasn’t easy for Ivory to accept us into her life. She was still trying hard, and it was enough for us. She then looked at William and smiled. Her smile was as beautiful as Crystal’s smile was.
“Brother.” She called him softly, and his eyes immediately lit up. It was a big relief for us. “Yes… yes…

I am your brother too.” William replied to her in a choked tone. “I am your brother too.” He repeated it in the same choked tone.
Crystal slowly moved Ivory away from her embrace so that Ivory could stand straight in front of us without any fear. Crystal slowly removed her hand, and Ivory followed her suit. We all also took our hands back. We lost touch with her, but she wasn’t afraid of us like she was in the beginning. It had been three days since she woke up here, and in three days, she managed to accept us. This was an achievement for her.
“Alright…. She needs to rest. Don’t forget that she is still healing,” Crystal said in a calm tone, holding Ivory’s hand. Killian was about to say something when we heard a grumbling sound. Everyone looked at Ivory, and she blushed in embarrassment while rubbing her stomach.
“Let’s go, sis…. We will have our lunch together today…. After that, you can rest,” Killian said to Ivory in a doting tone. Ivory once again looked at Crystal. “You don’t need to take permission from me, my love… you are a free person and moreover….. This is your home… you can do anything you want to do… you can have anything that you want to have,” Crystal said to Ivory with a gentle smile on her l*ps.
“Yes… this is your home,” I repeated her statement enthusiastically this time. “You also have another. home, where I live with our parents and my mate,” Killian immediately said in a hurried tone. I frowned while looking at him. It seemed that he wanted to compete with us in everything.
Ivory looked behind us with a curious gaze. I followed her gaze and shrank my nose in confusion when I saw Adam standing in a corner with a painful expression on his face. I pursed my l*ps into a thin line when I realized that he still couldn’t come near us. She is still afraid of him. This is what we call karma.
He rejected Crystal back then, and now his second–chance mate is afraid of him. I was still angry with the Moon Goddess for giving Ivory Adam as her mate, but this was the Moon Goddess’s decision. Who was I to object?
We all started walking towards the door when Crystal suddenly stopped. Ivory and all of us also stopped with her and looked at her questioningly. Crystal looked at Ivory and then back to Adam. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
I could see that Crystal wanted to help Adam get close to Ivory. “Ivory.” Crystal softly called her name while looking at her with a gentle gaze. Ivory blinked innocently while looking at her questioningly.
“You heard that all of us have our mates with us, right?” she asked Ivory, and she nodded in response, still having the same gaze. “I told you that you also have a mate who will protect you and will take care of you for the rest of your lives,” she continued, and Ivory once again nodded in
response.
Crystal took a deep breath and pursed her l*ps into a thin line before jerking her head lightly. “Please.” Before Crystal could say a word, we heard a pleat. Everyone once again looked at Adam. It seemed that he was about to cry now.

Crystal took a deep breath and looked back at Ivory, “He is my mate, right?” Ivory asked her in a very soft tone. Crystal smiled and nodded to her in agreement. “Yeah, Ivory… he is your mate,” Crystal told her in a soft tone.

Ivory glanced at Adam one more time. “He… he… is like a brother, right?” Ivory asked, and we all burst into laughter but immediately covered our mouths to suppress our laughter while glancing at Adam. He immediately glared at us.
“No… no, love… he.. he is not your brother,” Crystal immediately answered her in a hurried tone, but sighed helplessly while looking at all of us. None of us knew how to explain to Ivory how a mate is different from a brother.
“There is a ….. A big difference bet… between a mate and a brother, Ivory…brother. is… is your family… with whom you… you have a blood relationship or… or an adoptive relationship…. But mate is different… you.. you meet your mate after a certain age, and then spend the rest of your life with him,” Crystal tried to explain to Ivory most decently.
“B… but if… if we have brothers to protect us… a… and keep us safe… t.. hen why do we need a mate?” Ivory asked innocently, and we all looked around awkwardly. She was still a child with her intelligence. There was no one around her earlier to tell her about the complicated relationships of life, let alone the importance and requirements of having a mate.
“There are reasons for having a mate, love…. But for now… just know that Adam is also someone who will protect you with all his heart. He… he can give his life for you… he… he will only love you all his life,” Crystal replied to her in a helpless tone while looking at us for help.
“I think… I should go and tell the kitchen to prepare something good for Ivory… we… we will know today what she likes to eat more,” William said to Killian, completely saving himself from this situation.
“Yeah.. yeah… let’s go…. I also want to prepare something for Ivory by myself,” Killian replied to him hurriedly, and before I could say a word, they almost ran out of the room, leaving both me and Crystal stunned.
Adam slowly approached Crystal and Ivory in a very cautious way. “He already kept you safe when you fell asleep earlier, right?” Crystal asked Ivory with a hopeful gaze. Ivory immediately nodded, still blinking innocently.
“So… you know that you can trust him, right?” She asked her again, and Ivory once again nodded. To be honest, I am envious of Adam now. Ivory was her mate. She didn’t reciprocate his feelings, but she was not that hostile towards her. Why was I unlucky that my mate didn’t want to acknowledge me?
Suddenly, I felt pressure at the back of my mind. Someone was trying to mind–link me. I opened the mind–link and heard William. “Go to the study in the pack house. Queen Elizabeth and Queen Catherine want to talk to you,” he informed me in a calm tone. My heart skipped a beat in anticipation.
They had been in a meeting for more than an hour. I didn’t know what the agenda of the meeting

was, but I had a hunch that it was about me and Emily. s about me and Emily.

Kay… I am going there.” I informed him
She was still trying to persuade Ivory to be comfortable in Adam’s presence. “Crystal,” I called her softly, and she looked at me
to the pack house… I will meet your With a helpless look. “I need to g guys at lunch, I informed her, and she knitted her brows in confusion.
“What happened?” she asked me in a confused tone. I took a deep breath while shaking my shoulders. “I don’t know, but I will tell you as soon as I know something,” I replied to her in a calm
tone.
She nodded in response, and I looked at Ivory. She was now looking at me with a curious gaze. “I will be with you soon, and then I will teach you some games to play on mobile and laptop,” I said to her and she immediately raised her brows curiously once again.
I knew that Crystal would explain to her what I said. So, I walked out of the room. I saw William and Killian sitting in the living room while talking about something. They stopped and looked at me. “Where is Cynthia?” I asked when I didn’t see her around. “She is with Victoria,” Killian answered me in a calm tone.
I nodded and looked at William. “Go…. This is your chance to convince them that you are a perfect life partner for Emily,” he encouraged me, and I smiled weakly this time. “I will do my best, brother.” I answered him and I walked towards the exit of the house.
My heart was a mess now. I tried to talk to Emily twice after I realized that she was my mate, but she didn’t give me a chance to persuade her. She kept her distance from me as if I had a contagious. disease. I didn’t know what the Moon Goddess had written about my fate. William was right. This could be my chance to explain to her that I was the one for her.
