“I am so worried for them to get here”

“You’ll be fine my love.” Aries tries to soothe me.

“Baby, you worry too much. They might freak out a little, but we know this is important to you. let’s just take the jump and see how it goes.” Ajax tells me.

My grandparents are arriving at the pack house today and the ball was arranged to be held at High Moon now we’re all back and settled and the renovations to make our pack more accommodating for present and future members are just finished so all systems are a go right now.

The ball will be held in two days. The twins and I are meeting with my grandparents over lunch, we are going to make an effort to explain our world to them. I would love it if they would come and live on our pack lands with us. I am a ball of nerves, what if they hate what I am? What if they believe me and decide they want nothing more to do with me? All these thoughts swirl around my head making me feel queasy as I try to steady my hand to draw the perfect eyeliner wing.

I carefully step into my navy satin dress, the fabric causing goosebumps to appear where it touches. It says sophistication and class, perfect for our lunch with my grandparents, the neckline dips but not enough to be suggestive, a slit goes from the bottom of the dress, mid shin to around three inches above my knee, just giving me room to walk confidently in the stunning straight cut dress. Spaghetti straps leave no room for a bra so comfort is on my side. I feel empowered as I give myself a once over in the mirror in the walk in closet. Tucking a stray hair behind my ear I smile to myself. This is it.

I walk out to my mates sitting on the sofa, both with a glass one quarter filled with amber liquid. The twins finish off their drinks and saunter towards me, their eyes darker than usual. Ajax leans in close and kisses my cheek while Aries takes my hand planting a sweet small kiss on the top of it before they both compliment how I look and begin to escort me down from our floor to the front of the house. The twins look as delicious as always in crisp navy suits and tie with white dress shirts, they fit perfectly not hiding the abundance of rippling muscles.

Tomorrow I will be setting up and preparing for the annual ball but I can’t think about the plans for that right now. I’m too anxious, the dreaded thoughts cloud my mind playing over all the possible outcomes that could come to life once my grandparents know what I am. On top of explaining that I am a werewolf, a ruler of a pack I have to also explain that I have two mates. Two boyfriends that are twins nonetheless would surely be frowned upon in the human world, I’m not sure grandpa will be thrilled with this news but it’s too late to back out now.

I step outside and stand in between the twins as the sleek silver car pulls up the driveway. I hold my breath as the door opens and I see grandpa step out.

I smile as he looks up to me smiling and putting his hand out to help grandma climb out. They walk up towards the house beaming at me. With everything we had going on with the threat of Argon looming over our heads I haven’t seen them for a while.

I close the last few steps between us and pull them both in for a hug.

“Grandma, Grandpa, it’s so good to see you both. Come on in, let’s go sit and have a drink whilst we wait for our dinner. It will be ready shortly.”

“Hello sir, Aries Reign, good to meet you, and you ma’am” Aries says as he shakes my grandpa’s hand and nods to my grandma.

“Hey, Ajax Reign. Pleasure to meet you both.” Ajax introduces following suit and shaking both grandma and grandpas hand.

Grandma blushes as she acknowledges the twins and clearly their handsome looks. Grandpa smiles tightly at them both and nods his head.

Grandma looks at me and raises one eyebrow giving me a somewhat knowing look, yep she thinks my mates are hot. I laugh internally. Let’s just hope they continue to seem to like them once we’ve talked.

We sit in the main dining hall having a glass of wine amongst the chatter of others in the hall, we decided it would be best for them to learn about us and see how we are from the off rather than in private and think we’re all wild beasts and be scared though today the bother ranked members will not be joining us at our table so we have a little privacy to talk.

“Cierra my darling it’s so good to see you, is this the building you live in? It’s very homey yet... Regal? It’s beautiful, we were over the moon when you invited us over, we’ve really missed our little pretty eyed pumpkin pie.” Grandma says as she looks around the hall and then settles her gaze on me. “So Cierra, you said you had some things to discuss with us?” She says watching me curiously, grandpa is rubbing a thumb over her knuckles soothingly and watching our interaction. Well here goes, it’s now or never.

“yes, yes I do grandma, something very important. It’s big news but I just want to tell you first, I’m the same Cierra you’ve always known and loved and please don’t freak out. I met Aries and Ajax here in school as you both know you’ve heard me babble on about all my friends enough. Well not long after I met them they were attacked, the only way to make them better was for me to become the same as them.” I stop and take in a deep breath, they both look intrigued not speaking just watching and listening intently. “I had to become a werewolf.”

Grandma moves first sitting back letting out a relieved breath.

Huh? Relieved? What the fuck?

“Grandma, grandpa, say something? Did you hear what I said?” I ask them, I feel so confused they almost didn’t even react.

“We already knew dear, jeez I was having a heart attack on the way here thinking you were going to tell us you were pregnant, now while we aren’t against it you are still young and have some living to do and we had never met the man that had stolen your heart. We wanted to make sure you had someone to help you and grandpa didn’t have to kick some deadbeat werewolf ass.” Grandma laughs and rests her hand on grandpa’s knee.

“You knew?” I ask, shock evident on my face.

“Yes love, you don’t live so close to creatures that go howl in the night without learning a bit about them. Then you move around here and come to visit with pretty marks on your neck, the big question is, is one of these handsome fellows your werewolf soul mate?” She asks now, waiting eagerly for the explanation of the marks on my neck, grandma is such a nosey parker.

I am in shock, they knew about werewolves clearly way before I moved around here and even knew enough to know what the marks were on my neck.

“Well as you can see, Ajax and Aries are identical twins, it isn’t uncommon for identical twins to share a mate, which is what we call for short our fated soul mate. Aries and Ajax are both my mates.” I explain waiting nervously for their reaction.

“Oh” is the only thing grandpa says.

“Oh what damn fun that must be you lucky, lucky woman.” Grandma says leaning forward with a huge grin on her face wiggling her eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes and laugh at her teen like antics.

“So, there are a couple of other important things we need to discuss.” I tell them both, they sit ready to listen. I explain all about Alphas and Lunas and they take it all in, both of their eyes lit up with pride that their granddaughter is a luna, though we used the Queen explanation like the twins had with me. I get around to asking them if they would like to move here either into a house on pack lands or into the pack house itself, they let us all know that they will talk that over during their stay here as they’re here for a couple of days. Grandma is so excited for the ball and to meet other kings and queens of werewolves. Don’t ask, she won’t drop the royalty thing no matter how much I explain about Alpha and Luna, I’m sure she will get it in time.

We have a delicious three course meal, starting with a curried sweet potato and coconut soup, followed by steak, asparagus and dauphinoise potatoes and finishing up with a hot chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream, it was delicious. Grandma may have had a couple too many glasses of vino and was gossipping away with Rach, Hazel, Tiny and Titan whilst grandpa learnt more about the workings of the pack from the twins, their parents and Bear.

Around 1am we decided to call it a night and Aries and Ajax helped grandpa take a very drunken grandma to a guest room on our floor and get them settled in.

I walk into our room, a satisfied smile on my face. Today couldn’t have time any better, grandpa was pretty quiet but he was taking it all in. He doesn’t seem to mind at all, I hope they decide to stay here with us where I can look after them. I strip down to my panties and slip into bed, I feel myself fall straight into a content, deep sleep.

Tomorrow is a new big day though now I have grandma to give a helping hand and enjoy my day with as well as my mates and friends.
