Drake’s P.O.V. Hearing her say my name, feels like heaven and I want to hear it again and again. I feel that Ace and Damon have pushed forward too and I know they want our Mate as much as I do. Damon still holds her in his arms, but unlike Ace, we are fully clothed and I tell him to take her from Damon. “Hello, Ivory.” I hear him say and I purr as I realize that we will get to know her Lycan. Ace introduces himself and Damon to her and as soon as I have taken of my clothes I take her out of Ace’s arms. I put her on the bed and tell her to stay on all fours, because I want to take her from behind. Ivory purrs at my command and I smack her ass as she looks over her shoulder at me. I step behind her and as I line up my cock I hear the King through the mind-link “Alpha Talon send a messenger. He will only talk to Taliyah. Get to my office, now.” The four of us roar at the interruption, but it is a buzzkill like no other. We give control back to our Human half and we get ready as fast as we can. Taliyah’s P.O.V. Ivory is pissed at whoever Father send, even though she knows that he or she is just a messenger. As soon as we walk out of the door, my protection detail is by our sides and I know that Alaric is not taking any chances with our unexpected visitor. Ward has his arm around my waist, Malachay and Kaelan walk in front of me and Eamon is joined by Amand and Camden behind me. I am almost completely boxed in by six huge Lycans and even though I think it looks intimidating to others, I feel safe and protected. We walk towards the stairs and Ivory starts to stir in my head. “He send Xandros.” She says and I smile as I smell the familiar sent of my Brother. I link Alaric and ask him if our Grandparents will be there too. He tells me that he had not contacted them yet and I tell him that I will take care of it.“Grandfather, I need you and Grandmother to come to Alaric’s office. My Father send a messenger for me.” My Grandfather responds immediately and tells me they will be there soon. “Princess, what is going on?” Ward asks me and I know that they have pick up my feelings at seeing my Brother again. “I am not keeping secrets, but in this case I ask you to be patient.” He nods his head and pulls me even closer to his body. I link Camden, Amand and Kaelan and ask them to wait outside Alaric's office and even though they are reluctant to do as I request, they stay in the hallway. At the bottom of the stairs my Grandparents are waiting for us and the six of us walk in to Alaric’s office. “Xandros, don’t let them see that we know each other.” I say to him through the mind-link. I turn towards Alaric and ask him where the message is. “He still has it. He will only hand it to you.” Alaric growls. I turn towards Xandros and hold out my hand, waiting for him to place the message in my hand. He takes an envelope from his back pocket and puts it in to my outstretched hand.“Your Majesty, will you please read what it is that my Father wants, out loud.” I say as I hold the envelope in front of him. He opens the envelope and pulls out a piece of paper. “Tali, you need to come home, now. Alena is gone and I know that she was a bad influence on me and the way I treated you. Love, Your Father.” Alaric has problems getting the words out without growling. I turn to my Brother and ask him if he believes my Father is being truthful. “I don’t think so. He still does not call you by your given name and I know that Alena followed his example.” Is his response. “Do you know who these people are?” I ask him, pointing at my Grandparents. He nods his head and then I ask him if he knows who the men beside me are, this time he shakes his head. “Did my Father tell you why he wanted you to deliver this message?” I ask and Xandros tells us that Father expected me to be more inclined to do as he asked if he was the one to hand me the message. Everyone is staring at us and I chuckle as I feel the confusion run through my Mates. “Let me make some introductions. This is Xandros.” I say pointing at my Brother and Grandmother jumps in to his arms and she holds on tight. “Xandros, the woman hugging you to death, is our Grandmother.” I see the shock in his eyes and I tell Grandmother to release him. She steps back, just a little and she says “Thank you for warning her.” I ask Xandros to sit with me, so I can tell him everything that I found out. By the time I am done, he is fuming with anger and I know why. He figured out the same thing I did, when I heard the contents of the note. “Xandros, why are you so angry? You know what he put her through.” Grandfather asks and Xandros tells him that it is not the past he is angry about, but what Father wants my future to be is. “Well, it won’t do him any good. First of all, I am a true Royal and that means that I can command him and Roger. Second of all, I don’t think my Mates will allow him to get anywhere near me.” At that revelation Xandros’ jaw drops.Ward sit down next to me and pulls me on to his lap, making room for my other Mates to sit on either side of me. “Nice to meet you, Xandros. Thank you for being there for her, even if it wasn’t always easy.” Ward says to him. “Xandros, welcome to the family. I think I will like having a little Brother that is not able to sense where my thoughts are going.” Eamon says and I start laughing, because I know what he means. Xandros is looking from my Mates to me and he has a huge smile on his face, when he congratulates us. “Father and Alena will not like finding out that I have three Mates or that I am a Royal.” I giggle and I see Xandros’ smile falter.
