I lost the crown!

I lost her!

Standing in front of my dad I'm just well, shell shocked.

He's taking it all away fro me. What the fuck did I do! Regret soon consumes me.

"You can't do that!" Knowing fully well that he actually can.

"Not yet, but I will, what did you expect? You both lied to her! Deceived her! That's not how you treat your mate!" His temper is flaring "the ball is this Friday, I will announce that three of my sons will become kings. I will introduce Miracle as the new upcoming queen!" He points his finger at me and Brack "you two will be in the audience. Your names will not be mentioned." Turning to my other brothers "you will be on stage with your future Queen, make sure she's there." Turning to my other parents I plead to them with my eyes. They're standing there, watching us with stone cold expressions.

"But I'm not with Marcus anymore, remember? Why are you pushing me out?" Dad gives me a look of disgust. He walks up to my face, we're not even an inch apart.

"You pushed her away! You chose Marcus before he chose another. You berated her, you fought with your brothers, and most importantly you called her a damn slut!" His face is red, he's barely controlling his anger. Mom walks to him and places a hand on his shoulder.

"Zada, you said your peace and we all agree. They won't receive the crown and they lost their mate for good. Let it be." She tells him calmly. Dad sighs and steps away, he's finished with me, but not with Brack. Turning to him.

"I like Arista, she's a sweet girl. But she will never compare to your mate. Nobody will. Get your head out of your ass before it's too late!" Zada, Xavier, Yenna, and mom walk away. Leaving Parker with us. He goes to Brack.

"Son, I know it's hard, but you will not believe the way your mate can make you feel. Nothing in this world can compare to it. It goes beyond love. It's...transcending. Make the right choice." Parker turns his attention to me.

"You need to beg. Het on your knees and beg her for forgiveness and mercy. I don't want to see either of you lose your crown and especially your mate." Then he walks away. Leaving us bereft and confused.

"I can't believe it, I lost everything," I turn to Baron "why did you bring her into our lives?" Misplacing my anger and my guilt.

"Don't give me that shit! You fucked up! Don't blame me, if you two would get your shit together we wouldn't be in this situation. This is all on the two of you!" He screams so loud the window shake.

"He's right. Brack, just dump Arista and apologize to Miracle. Talon, like dad said, beg!" I know Lucias is right. So why I can't I do it?

"I'll dump Arista, I'll even beg Miracle. I'll take whatever she throws at me. I deserve it. But not for the crown, I'll do it but just for her." Brack informs us as he walks away.

Baron and Lucias stare at me. Shrugging my shoulders, I turn away.

"You're to stubborn for your own damn good. I'm bonding with Miracle, as soon as she let's me. The only reason I'm telling you this is because I want to make it official. That leaves you and Brack. It's up to you brother. Be lonely with no Marcus and no crown or be happy with a treasured mate and a crown, it's up to you." Then he leaves. It's just Baron and me left.

"What? Say it!" I know he wants to put in a last word also. Him Being the oldest I usually take his advise. I have no idea why I'm being this way. Hell I don't even understand myself anymore.

"I want you by my side. I don't want to rule this kingdom without you. It's always been the five of us. If you keep this up, it will only be four. You'll be in the side lines. Wishing you could take back everything and regretting all that you have done. Is it really worth it? Whatever you're holding on to? Think about it!" Then he leaves.

Sitting on the couch, I'm alone with my thoughts. He's right. He always his. My actions against Miracle were uncalled for. I was heartbroken and I took it all out on her and my brothers. I'm a damn fool. How do I fix my mess? I have no idea?

I must of fallen asleep on the couch, a noise wakes me up. Groggily I get up and head for my room. Hearing the noise again, I go to investigate. Someone's in the kitchen, I see a shadow near the counter. Is someone breaking in? Walking closer, I grab the intruder.

"Who are you?" Their fighting me, trying to get away.

"Talon let me go!" It's Arista. Releasing her she stumbles.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Straightening she puts her fist on her hips.

"I snuck in through the back, I wanted to surprise Brack! Is he home?" Fuck! Rubbing my head, i pace back and forth. Should I tell her? What do I do? She has a right to know. Should I save Brack from this pain?

"Talon, what is it?" Arista steps closer, puts her hand on my shoulder.

"He found his mate. We found our mate." Pulling her hand back, she stands there, her breaths come quicker.

"What? He-he didn't tell me. Is he with her now?" Having no clue I just shrug. She exhales and starts pacing.

"Well he said that we were forever. He promised me forever. He wouldn't go back on that."

"He will lose the crown if he doesn't chose her." Arista gasps. Putting her hand to her chest. I'm only telling her so Brack won't have to deal with it himself. Right?

"That's absurd. He can choose who he wants to be with, who he loves. Your parents have no right to take that away from him. It's....fine. It's fine...he will chose me. He promised."

"He chose her. I'm sorry. He told us tonight. He was choosing her. I'm only trying to save you the heartbreak from hearing it from him." Trying to explain to her why it's me telling her all of this and not him.

"But he promised me Talon. I won't...I can't let him go. I love him." She whispers out the last part. Reaching for her I bring her into a hug.

"There's nothing you can do but move on Arista, you will find your mate soon. Just let him go." Rubbing her back. She sniffles.

"No...no, he can tell me this to my face." She takes off to a Bracks room. I chase after her.

Storming into Bracks room she slams the door open. Only to find Brack fucking Miracle relentlessly on his bed. We're both shocked. She gasp, Brack jumps off of Miracle, I see where he's already marked her. Miracle covers herself. Brack stands in front of Arista naked. With his dick still hard amazingly.

"Get the fuck out Arista!" I didn't see that coming. Literally.

"What the hell Brack! What are doing with this...this hussy! You said you loved me!" I'm not missing this for the world. I go to Bracks bed and sit down o it next to Miracle, she's watching the argument with a little bit of amusement and a touch sadness on her face.

"She's not a fucking hussy! We're done, leave! Now! Arista!" Brack is pissed!

"Why Brack? Why did you chose her?" Arista screams pointing at Miracle with disgust.

"She's my mate! I chose her! I will always chose her!"

"Is this because you could lose the crown? Is that why you're with her? Why you fucked her? Is that crown so important that you would lie to her just to get it!" Miracle gasp not knowing his throne was threatened. Reaching my hand to her, she takes it and squeezes it.

"No! I don't give a fuck about the crown, they can keep it for all I care! I want to be with her! I'm sorry this hurts you Arista. I'm sorry I broke my promise. I never wanted to hurt you. But I chose Miracle." He steps closer to Arista "I will always chose her." Arista looks at Miracle, then turns to Brack, she raises her hand and let's lose with a rigid slap to his face. Then with a rebound huff she turns her full attention to Miracle. "you can have him. After all a whore deserves a whore, he's whoring with you just to get the crown, not because he actually loves you!" Then she leaves, slamming the door as she goes.

Brack goes the bathroom and slams the door. I'm surprised both doors didn't actually break.

"What about you?" Looking over at Miracle, it's quite shocking that she doesn't seem to upset after what just occurred.

"What about me?" Confused over what shes asking.

"Who do you chose?" Still confused. There's no Marcus left in the picture so there's no one for me to chose from. Aggravated she states it more clearly.

"Do you chose the world or me? You seem to always put me last or push me to the side. I'm your last concern. You act like you hate me. Brack never acted that way. He chose not to tell me so he could talk to Arista first. I can understand that." She pulls her hand away "you remind me of my brother. When things got tough he pushed me aside, literally threw me away. He acted like he didn't even care. That it didn't bother him. It...it broke my heart. He broke my heart and he didn't even care. Tossed me on the street like I was just a measly piece of trash. Then I got kidnapped and met Baron, I thought..well I thought when I found out I had a mate. Mates. That my life would get better. That finally someone would love me and be there for me. Not...push me aside or throw me away." She's crying. Her brother did this to her? He hurt her and I'm acting just like him. I'm doing exactly what he did to her. Before I could offer her a reply in return Brack saunters back into the room. By the look on his face I know that he must of heard everything. He goes straight to Miracle, softly pushes her aside so he can get back into bed with her. He wraps his arms around her gently while planting tender kisses on her head.

"I would never do that to you. I'm so sorry for what I put you through. For what he put you through. I'll spend everyday trying to make it up to you." And deep down I think he actually means it.

Standing I look down at both of them.

"Miracle, I'm sorry, if you will forgive me...if we could start over, I would so appreciate it. I don't deserve your forgiveness nor my brothers. Like Brack, I will show you everyday just how sorry I truly am." I kneel beside the bed. It's not because I want the crown. It's only because I honestly want to try to build a life with her.

"Please forgive me." She leaps up
from the bed suddenly then jumps right on top of me, knocking us both back onto the floor roughly. Then her beautiful blue eyes clash deeply with mine.

"I forgive you, both of you, but don't do this shit again!" Then I abruptly kiss her while gently pulling down toward to me, I couldn't find it in me to be able to resist the sweet temptation. Our tongues swiftly collided i a passionate embrace, taking my tongue I move across her lower lips, it's the most enticing kiss that I think I have ever had. Tingles and sparks rip straight through me. The sensation is beyond belief I can barely seem to contain myself from her.

Brack pulls her off of me suddenly and way to soon for my liking. I grumble from the sudden loss but she when she lets out a tiny giggle and wraps her arms around him, I can't help but to smile up at them.

I raise up from the floor to reluctantly to leave Bracks room to give them both their much needed privacy, I give one last look to her over my shoulder before I exit his room. Letting out a huge sigh a relief before I utter those three words to her that will change both of our lives forever,

I choose you!
