I had just tied my shoe laces when I heard a knock on my door, picking my purse I opened the door.
Dave, Neil, Kate and Mary waved at me.
"Good morning bestie", Dave greeted while trying to get into my room.
I pushed him back, locked the door and turned to them.
"And what can I help you guys with" I asked sourly.
"We wanted to know how your meeting with the alpha went" Kate answered.
"Good", I turned and started walking towards the elevator.
"Mind if I ask where you are heading to?" Dave asked.
I groaned, "listen up errand boy, we are not friends ok, so why don't you guys look for someone else to bug"
Dave looked hurt by my harsh reply.
Aurora that's rude they're trying to be nice.
Am pretty sure I don't need any friends it could distract me.
Celine never said you shouldn't have friends and they don't seem bad, you should apologize.
I huffed and realized I was standing before the elevator.
I turned, "am sorry for being rude, I woke up late and I haven't had coffee."
Mary smiled at me, "it's ok, we understand".
They all smiled at me and it seemed genuine.
That's cause they are, they really mean no harm.
"Am on my way to the mall, I need to redecorate my room, you guys wanna come, I could use your help".
Dave looked shocked, "you want to hang out with us?".
I tilted my head, "yeah I do"
Neil grinned widely "then lets go get you coffee first".
We got into the elevator and I decided to fill them in on my meeting with the elders.
When we got down, we went to the dining hall, "how do you like your coffee?", Neil asked.
"Lots of sugar and cream but I can do it myself " I replied.
"Don't worry I'll be back with it and am real good with coffee ", he pecked Dave's cheek and strode to the kitchen.
I poked at Dave who was red in the face, "are you guys actually mates?"
He blushed more, "yeah we are".
I turned to Mary and Kate,"what about you guys".
Kate smiled broadly, "yeah we are, we've been together for a year now".
I smiled, I was happy for them, "am glad you guys are happy".
Dave blushed more, "thanks Aurora"
"If you blush anymore you might be red forever" I teased.
At that moment Neil came, he held five cups of coffee each with our names "am back people".
He distributed the cups, I sipped from the cup and my eyes widened, "this is really good".
"Thanks, am glad you like it" he answered shyly.
"Ooh, he's blushing too" Kate taunted.
We all laughed "he makes good coffee so watch your back now Dave, am gonna steal your mate"
"Am sure that's all you know how to do, taking what's not yours"
Kate, Mary, Neil and Dave tensed beside me, I turned, "well hello Lisa, nice morning to you too".
She turned to the four beside me, "leave now"
"Don't even think about it" I spoke when I saw them about to leave.
Lisa placed her hands on her hips soon she was joined by Ophelia, Jenny and Blondie from last night.
"Did you just tell them to disobey me, have you forgotten my position" she asked
"Yes I did, enforcer" I answered boredly
She gaped at me clearly loss for word, the dining hall was silent.
Neil tugged on my shirt and whispered "we should leave before she gets more angry".
I turned to him and he looked real worried, with Dave standing behind him,
"What's going on here?" Damien asked as he came into the dining hall followed by Rex, Mark, Theo, Neul, Kassandra and Nathan.
"Can you imagine these lowlifes insulted me" Lisa complained instantly.
"Aurora please let's get out of here", Dave pleaded as he stood before me.
Mark came forward and stood before Dave, "who asked you to speak?".
"Am sorry please don't get mad at Aurora, she doesn't know who Lisa is" he replied bowing his head.
I was shocked, he was standing up for me even when it was obvious he could get hurt and am surprised he doesn't know that Lisa and I are twins. Mark shoved him backwards "stay back gay boy"
I was furious, I stepped between them "This should be the last time you would ever lay your hands on my friends Mark".
I heard Kate gasp, Damien looked at me with a smile. Mark advanced towards me but Damien pulled him back.
Rex turned to Blondie, "what happened here Sarah?"
She looked at Lisa then Rex probably trying to decide where her loyalty was.
"Lisa was only trying to speak to Aurora alone but her friends were being rude".
I scoffed, "yeah right"
Neul scowled "tell me Sarah, do you know the punishment for lying to an alpha?".
She gulped and bowed, "Lisa started it Alpha".
Surprisingly Rex growled at Lisa "apologize this instant"
Lisa looked real shocked, "but Rex...", "Apologize now, you can't go around intimidating people" he ordered.
She looked at us with a sneer, "am sorry".
I looked at my friends, "do you accept her apology?" they nodded, "good then".
I turned to Lisa "I suggest you keep your insults to yourself dear sister or you might be running to mother to tend to your wounds".
Everyone gasped, Nathan looked between Lisa and I then at Damien, "you guys are siblings?".
"Unfortunately we are, triplets to be exact, right Damien?" I asked sweetly but Damien only nodded.
Kassandra shook her head "but how, I mean your name is Knight not Michael".
I shrugged then turned to my friends "let's move, it's nearly noon".
We walked out of the house towards the garage but I should have known than thought they would let it die.
"How the hell are you siblings with the Michael twins, how don't I know that, so you mean your parents are Mr and Mrs Michael the best warriors but why's your name not Micheal, wait where have you been all these while, why...."
Neil covered his mouth, "I think you should let Aurora answer one question at a time and that's if she's ready to answer them".
"Sorry about that, I guess I got carried away with the news" Dave apologized.
"Sure thing, I understand" I replied.
What do you think Cora, should I tell them,
I think you should tell them, the more they know about this the more chances of you not being viewed as a threat.
I sat on the hood of my car."Yes the Michael twins are my siblings and as I said earlier triplets, it was supposed to be just twins but I popped out, anyways I was mistreated cause of that but I left the night Rex rejected me as his mate, and I answer Knight now because that's the name of my adopted parents". I said in one breath.
Mary placed a hand over her mouth, "I remember you, you were always treated as their slave".
"Yeah I was", I look at Neil who looked like he wanted to puke, "Neil are you alright?".
He just closed his eyes and when he opened them I saw shame and regret, "I was among the people who bullied you, but I swear it was just once, Theo had ordered that I rub the chemical on the wipes. I honestly didn't know what it was for".
We'll looked at him, I was really shocked I never pegged him as the bullying type, "so why did you do it then?"
"I had a huge crush on Theo back then. But at the coronation ceremony I tried searching for you to apologise, then Theo told me that you were at the bonfire, I got there the same time you did, am really sorry about your garden" He looked ashamed
He's honest, he actually never meant to hurt you, Cora spoke.
But he did, indirectly he did.
I don't think he knew, he stood behind you and never left your side when your bitch ass sister showed up, he's wolf is already protective towards us. They'll make good friends Aurora.
I walked up to Neil, "it's okay, you never knew, it's all in the past and am glad we are friends now".
He looked relieved, "thanks Aurora" and he shocked me by hugging me, I felt awkward.
But Dave made it worse by shouting, "Group hug team", soon I was engulfed and nearly crushed.
"Can't breath....need air" i gasped out.
When we separated I held up my keys, "we'll take my car, let's move we've got a room to redecorate."
And with that we piled in my car and drove to the mall.
