The eyes are the window to the soul.

Her eyes alighted mine.

Seeing her outside the cell, my heart soared. I waited so long for her. She's beyond what I ever imagined.

Placing her in my bed gently, the sparks that ignite me will be my undoing.

Grabbing a chair I move it closer to the bed. Just watching over her. She's beyond beautiful, everything I could've wished for.

My soul is dark hopefully she will be my light. Light? She's a Starlight! Never would I have thought that my love would be such a rare individual.

Brushing the hair away from her face her eyes began to flicker open.

"Easy angel," grabbing another pillow I raise her head and place under her. Miracle grimaces, as she leans back, she looks me in the eyes with a questionable gaze.

"Lucias right?" Smiling I nod my head. I'm feeling tongue tied at this very moment. "You're the Greed Demon?" So Baron has been talking about me.

"Yep that's me," feeling a bit embarrassed. "How's your head?"

Miracle reaches for her head, there's a small stream of caked blood on the side. Going to the bathroom I rush to get a cloth, aspirin, and water. "Here take these, it will help with headache." She takes it, while I wash the blood off her face.

"Thank you," handing me back the glass. "Where's Baron?" Frowning at her question, a tug of jealousy hits me.

"He's getting you some clothes. Don't worry he's fine," telling her this I notice my tone. Clearing my throat I sit back down and grab her hand. The tingles vibrate through me. Miracles eyes go wide, moving from our hands to my face. "You feel it?" Nodding her head, she stares at me. Leaning toward I move in close to her face, staring at her lips. Aching so bad just to kiss her. Our lips graze, the sparks ignite. Biting her lip, our tongues collide in a fevered race. She's utterly fantastic. Groaning as she brings her hand to the back of my head wanting to go deeper. We hear the door open and I spring back from her. Shit! My dick is raging hard. Adjusting my pants I look to door.

"Sorry, your Majesty, I've brought the food you requested." Seeing the maid, Miracle blushes a deep red. Adorable!

"Thank you, Bea, just place it on the table."nodding her head she sets the tray on the table and leaves. Turning back to Miracle, she still has a deep blush, but now she seems upset.

"Your Majesty?" Oh shit! The one thing I didn't want her to know just yet. Leaning in to her, putting on my best, smile.

"About that, you see, Baron and my brothers are.....well we're basically prin-" I get cut off by my door opening yet again. Baron waltzes in with clothes in his hands. He looks at Miracle then to me.

"What's going on?" He walks over to the end of the bed and sits beside Miracle. Reaching his hand out and places it her leg.

"What are you Baron? Are you royalty? She said your majesty, you've never mentioned anything about being royalty and from the tingles in my leg; I'm assuming you're my mate also? Why didn't you tell me?" Bombarding him with questions Baron looks overwhelmed.

The door opens again, Malik enters, smiling from ear to ear. He looks to Miracle and freezes.

"My Eternal" he mouths, not moving, his expression is full of awe. They both seem frozen, Miracle shakes her head. Coming out of her daze.

"Another one? What's going on? Can someone please explain all of this to me before I blow my top!" Swinging her arms around, getting more upset by the second. I try to reassure her.

"It's ok, we will explain. Well..the best way to put it is that we are all your mates. All of us," Gesturing to my brothers and me. "We're also princes, our parents are the kings and queen of the supernatural realms." Miracles eyes goes wide, looking at each one of us. "And you my angel; are our princess." She lets go of my hand and jumps from the bed. She starts pacing back and forth.

"I have to leave, I can't stay, I can't be here. I'm sorry but this isn't gong to work. Can you take me back to Granville? If not I can call a Uber. Do you have Ubers? Doesn't matter, I need to get out of here!" She ends her rant and starts heading for the door. Malik blocks her way, grabbing her by shoulders, both Baron and I stand and walk to her.

"Calm down, beloved, you're not going anywhere. Just tell us what's wrong. Why do you want to run?" Malik using his calm voice, turns back around and walks her to the table and chairs off to the side that has the tray of food waiting for her.
We all pull out a chair each and sit down with her.

"Now tell us what's wrong?" Baron ask her while he grabs her hand rubbing his thumb across the back of it. He's beside her, Malik's on the other side, I sit across from her. She turns her eyes on each of us, blinking rapidly.

"Andrew kidnapped me, once the word gets out that you," she points to us "are mates with me, there will all want to come after me. I will not put your lives in danger. I can't do that. So let me leave, I know a little about mates and I know you can reject me or I can reject you, I think, we can do that and hopefully it will keep each of safe. Just take me back home, we can end this, then each of you can find a mate for just yourselves." Taking a deep breath "it doesn't seem fair anyway...to have one mate for all of you. You should have one each for yourself, not to where you have to share just one. Besides it's not safe with me, you're not safe with me. So...yea, just reject me and we can move on from there. Sorry I'm rambling. I do that when I get upset."

There's no way I'm going to reject her! There's no way she's leaving! How can she think this? After so long, I will not let her walk out that door!

"Hell no! You're not leaving, we're not rejecting you! You're staying we will protect you! You haven't even given a chance!" Pounding my fist on the table. My brothers keep their eyes on her. I'm fuming. She shrinks back.

"You're staying that's final!" Getting out of the chair I begin to pace, like she did earlier.

"Please stay, we can't let you leave, we will work it out." Baron tells her never letting her hand go. Glancing at her it's like he wants to absorb her very being.

Going to her, I kneel in front of her. Grabbing her face with my hands.

"I beg of you, stay. We will not let any harm befall you. Please." Bringing her face to mine, I kiss her. A deep passionate kiss. My entire body comes alive. Her sweet soft lips captivate me. Pulling away hesitantly, placing my forehead on hers.

"Please." Her eyes shimmer with lust and sadness.

"Fine," releasing her I stand "but on a trial basis...for now." Sighing I sit back down. "Eat, angel" she grabs her fork and begins to eat. Placing a mouthful of steak in her mouth, she groans. Damn if my dick didn't get hard! Looking at my brothers they have the same reaction. This isn't going to be easy. Based on our reactions to her, she has us under her spell.

"So when can we bond?" Malik of course; says out of the blue. Smacking him upside his head, he huffs.

"What, like you weren't thinking about it? Her blood is driving me insane!" He pleads. Miracle stops eating holding her fork midway to her mouth. Her eyes are wide.

"Bonding? What do you mean?" This should be good.

"You will bond with each of us. Then we will do the binding." Malik has a way with words. The idiot!

"Binding? Im confused." I have to remind myself she hasn't known about our world for long.

"Bonding is what happens during...sex, we each have a different bonding technique. Baron will have to mate with you under a full moon or when the sun crest, he will mark your heart with a sacred dagger.
Malik will bite you, probably on your neck, drink your blood; then you in turn will drink his. I will imprint my decree on your heart. Brack will bite you, most likely on your neck and Talon will use a magical dagger, that imprints a contract on your soul." Releasing a breath, I realize that Miracle looks like she's going in shock.

"You ok?" She shakes her head.

"Sure..I guess. Wait! Brack and Talon also? Please tell me that's all of them." I couldn't help but laugh. The fact that my other brothers was what she was thinking and not the bonding issues.

"That's it angel. Unless you want more."

"No I'm good, ok so what's the binding?" Baron answers this time. While Miracle finishes eating.

"It's a ceremony that's done in front of everyone. We bind our hands in ribbons, release our essence into a gold chalice, our father, Zada will preform the rights over the chalice and we...will have to mate under a full moon." He rushes the last part.

"In front of everyone?" Miracle squeaks out. "Oh no, not going to happen. I'll do the bonding but the binding is a big no go!" Ranting "I can't do that, I'm not some porno star! I'm a damn virgin for Christ sakes!" We all hiss. I seriously think I drooled a bit. A virgin? Holy fuck! I think my dick just exploded.

"No shit? Can I go first?" Malik asks us. What a complete jerk! I smack him again.

"Ow! Like you weren't wanting to, stop acting like you don't want to be first! At least I'm open about it!" Malik whines. Such a damn baby!

"It's tradition, it's the way it's always been done. We can't take the throne until we do."Baron tells her. Feeling like it would want to be anywhere but here at the moment.

"I can't...preform...in front of everyone. Did your mother really do that?"

"Yes, like I said tradition." He tells her. Though I don't want to imagine my mother that way. Gross.

"I can't do it, sorry. There has to be another way!" She grabs the clothes and storms off to the bathroom. That went well.

"She will come around," Malik laughs "get it? Come around?" Another hit upside his head. For him being my twin he is absolutely clueless. Guess I got all the brains.

"You think I'm bad wait till Brack meets her, his wolf be able to control himself." He has a point there. He may be charming but his wolf is not so containable.

"I'll keep him under control." Baron tells us. If anyone can, it's him. Baron has the ability to control most of us.
Even Talon and that's saying a lot.

"Yea good luck with that brother." Malik laughs. I rolls my eyes.

We're gonna need all the luck we can't get.
