The challenge two alphas one girl novel Chapter 27

Friday’s POV

Astrid was fidgeting nervously. She crossed her legs and then uncrossed them. Maze sat next to me on the bed with his arms folded. He k!ssed my would-be marking sp0t suddenly. It was nice of him to allow Astrid to take up some of his day. Thaddeus had already helped me get dressed this morning instead of Maze and he had kept his cool for the most part. Had Maze always been decent or was he becoming that way? I had never really believed that people could change. I always thought they just revealed who they already were, good and bad, as time went along.

“How are you feeling?” Asked Astrid, shakily pointing towards my cast as though she could catch “broken foot” from me. She was one of those werewolves who were really uncomfortable with me being wolf-less. I guessed it must have seemed unnatural to them.

“I feel ok. It hurts but the paink!llers work really well,” I said, giggling. Maze laughed, catching my eye. I knew we were both thinking of my recent singing career. Maze told me I made up a new song every time the pain k!ller hit.

Astrid laughed awkwardly.

“Honestly, to be frank,” she began, recovering some of her usual spunkiness, “I wanted to offer my services.”

“Ok…” I said, prompting her to continue.

“Yeah, I dressed you up for the opening ceremony, remember?” She said.

I nodded. “You were the one who didn’t remember,” Maze said indignantly. I elbowed him.

“So, I can do that for the closing ceremony and your crowning as Luna, your wedding, anything important to you. Even just a regular date. You’re in that cast so getting dressed must be difficult. It’s not appropriate to let Alpha Maze or Alpha Thaddeus dress you while they’re both still competing for you. Why not have a lady in waiting?” She said.

I smiled slightly. Maze and Thaddeus did not seem to care much for what was appropriate or not. I knew they did not want to see me in any pain but were still excited at the prospect of having to “dress” me. I could see Maze frowning.

“It would be nice to have a lady in waiting,” I said.

“It would be,” Maze said slowly. “But as I said before, all visits will be supervised by me.”

“What about on Thaddeus’ days?” I asked innocently.

“Thaddeus will supervise lady-in-waiting visits on his day,” Maze said, flashing me a warning look not to disagree with him anymore.

I was feeling pretty bold or the pain k!llers were just that intense.

“I bet Thaddeus will agree with me and let me have unsupervised visits on his days,” I said smugly, instantly regretting it when Maze flinched.

I remembered how difficult it must be for them. One of them would lose their mate. I had almost lost Maze. The only thing that remedied it was meeting another mate, Thaddeus, and Maze coming back.

Maze smiled suddenly.

“Actually, let’s ask Thaddeus right now,” said Maze smugly.

Huh. Maze’s eyes were dark. He was mind-linking Thaddeus. Would Thaddeus even pick up? Was that how it worked? I wished I could mind-link.

There was a knock on the door.

“It’s open,” said Maze.

Thaddeus entered. I inhaled sharply. Thaddeus winked at me. He came to sit on the other side of the bed. I was between the two alphas. Their body heat and scents were so overpowering. I fought all of my dirty thoughts.

“Thaddeus?” I said sweetly.

“Yes, Luna,” Thaddeus said, squeezing my hand.

“Can Astrid be my lady in waiting and help me get dressed as my foot is broken?” I asked, my eyes wide.

“Absolutely, as long as someone else is there with you too,” Thaddeus said.

WHAT?!

“So you’re gonna supervise me on all your days?” I asked indignantly.

Maze was grinning.

“Seven,” I said, smiling.
