"Amber please say something" Emily broke the silence
Alex and James had changed back into a human and for the last 5 minutes everyone has been deathly silent.
"What else?" I asked
"What do you mean?" Jason asked
"Whenever there is a sit down confession like this there is more than 1 part. I'm ready for the next part" I said
"We're your real family" one of the boys who looked to be Jason's friend said
"My real family?" I asked confused
"Yes, when you were a baby you were very sought after, still are actually" the woman who hugged me earlier said
"Sought after?" I asked not comprehending any of this
"People wanted to kidnap and possibly kill you" the other boy said
I nodded happy someone wasn't trying to sugar coat this.
"So we asked my brother and his wife to raise you as their own" the man said turning to my dad
"So you're telling me my mom and dad are my aunt and uncle and my brother is my cousin. Also I have 2 brothers and new parents all who happen to be werewolves along with my friends?" I asked
Again they nodded.
I stood and began pacing my heels hitting the floor with a click clack noise at every step.
"Alright next" I said taking a breath
"We're the royal werewolves" the same blunt brother said
"Explain royal please" I said
"You are the princess of werewolves. One day you will lead all werewolves as Queen and manage all packs around the world" the other brother said
I stopped pacing and looked at the blunt brother.
"Like the first family of the US, only with werewolves and over all wolves in the whole world. Your important in the chain of command and one day you'll be First Lady while your husband is president" he said
I nodded "Why am I going to be First Lady if you are both older than me?" I asked
"Girl power, girls get the big titles in werewolf world" he said
"Alright next" I said
"Your real name is Amber Rose" my mother/ aunt said
I laughed "I'm not bald nor do I have her type of body who chose that?" I asked
"Your named after our great grandmother. Your name is Amberlyn Rosemarie Casanova" my father said
"Better, more... posh" I said
"Anything else?" I asked
"Your good for now" the blunt brother said standing to tower over me
"How about your names?" I asked
"Elijah Michael Casanova" the blunt one said
"Isaiah James Casanova" the other brother said
I nodded and they both slung their arms around me.
"We don't like your boyfriend, he touches you too much" Isaiah said
I rolled my eyes at their attempt to assume their over protective brother roles.
"Good thing I'm single then right?" I asked
"That's a great thing, boys have cooties remember that forever" Elijah said
"I guess I should steer clear of you 2 then right?" I asked
Before they could answer Emily popped up.
"I'm so happy you know! I can't wait until you shift and then our wolves can be sisters too" she said excitedly
"I'm a werewolf?" I asked
They all nodded and that's what it took for me to faint.
"Amber!" Some yelled waking me instantly
"What?" I said grouchily
"We have to go, hurry up and pack your shit" Jace said
"Where are we going?" I asked
"To your house" he called over his shoulder as he walked away
I went up to my room to see multiple people packing some of my things into suitcases.
I didn't recognize them but they were wearing black suits that said royal guard on the sleeve so I dropped it.
I decided to go to the backyard and relax before we go.
I was sitting for about 5 minutes before Sebastian walked out.
"Hey beautiful" he said sitting next to me
"Hey Seb what's up?" I asked
"Just came to check up on you" he said with a sigh
"Are you ok?" I asked really looking at him
His eyes were blood shot with dark circles under them. He had a frown on his face and the way he sat told me he was worried about something.
"Amber what if your family lives far away and wants to take you with them?" He asked
"I wouldn't go" I said simply
He shook his head "I don't think it works like that, you're the long lost royal princess for gods sake" he said leaning forward to put his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands
"Sebastian when is the last time you slept?" I asked squatting in front of him
"Uh I don't know I think before everything happened" he said shaking his head
A concerned frown formed on my face and I ran my fingers through his hair. He shivered deeply and looked up at me.
"You have no idea what you do to me" he whispered huskily
"Sebastian you need to sleep this isn't good for you" I told him letting my hand rest at the nape of his neck
"No I'm fine, just glad you're finally awake and ok" he said
I smiled "Me too but I need you not to drive yourself crazy about all of this, I'm not going anywhere"
Feeling pairs of eyes on us I looked over to see everyone looking out the window. Both of my mothers had giddy smiles and tears in their eyes. All 3 of my brothers were glaring at Sebastian along with my 2 dads, and everyone else was smirking.
"Come on looks like we've got a crowd" I said standing
He stood to and looked to the window "should I be worried?"
"Nope my mothers seem to approve, they'll talk the guys out of attempted murder" I said
We walked in and I turned to my new dad/ werewolf king.
"Are we leaving now?" I asked
He nodded not taking his eyes off of Sebastian.
Sebastian took my hand in his kissing it before stepping away from me with a giddy smile.
I laughed at how he was trying to test everyone's patience and took his hand in mine walking towards the door. I heard a chorus of deep growls by the males of my family followed by slaps from the females.
"Anybody coming?" I asked
They all followed us out of the door and I stopped when I saw 2 white polished limos in our driveway.
"Amber darling, you're in this one" my new mother said pointing to the second limo
"Uh why?" I asked looking at them
"Formality" Isaiah said
"What kind of formality?" Jace asked as both he and Sebastian stood in front of me protectively
"We're her family do you really think we want to hurt her?" Elijah deadpanned
"We don't know-" Jace said
I stopped him mid sentence by laying a hand on his arm.
"It's no big deal I'll go" I said
"No Amber you don't have to listen to them" Jace said
I shot him a look that said to drop it and he sighed stepping away from me.
I walked to the limo and one of the guards opened the door. I stepped in and my eyes widened.
"Oh uh hi" I said before the door shut behind me
Siting around the limo we're several eager looking women.
"Princess we need to dress you quickly come, come" one of them said
"Dress me? I'm already dressed" I said
They all laughed and went to work much to my surprise.
Upon much insistence on my part they went easy on the make up. They curled my hair into loose spirals pulling the front pieces back and pinning them behind my head. They added a tiara and a diamond necklace and matching earrings.
I was given a sky blue dress to wear which they helped me put on along with diamond encrusted 6 inch stilettos.
The car slowed down and I looked out the window to see we were approaching a huge mansion. Thousands of people were lined up along the sides smiling and cheering excitedly. I looked around trying to figure out what they were so happy about but stopped when I heard the giggles of the women in the car with me.
"What's going on?" I asked
"Our princess has returned, this is a joyous occasion" one of them said
"All this... is for me?" I asked
They nodded with smiles and I looked back out the window in shock.
The first limo stopped and my family and friends got out. They were wearing the same thing but my new family now had crowns on their heads.They all turned to my limo stepping to the side as the car pulled forward.
"Ready?" The driver asked
I nodded taking a breath and a second later the door was opened by one of the guards. He offered his hand to me and I took it stepping out of the car as gracefully as I could.
When I came into view the crowd got 10 times louder if that was possible. Everyone was waving to me some crying tears of joy.
I saw a little girl around the age of 3 trying desperately to escape her mother's hold to get to me.
One of the guards came up next to me trying to direct me towards my family. I brushed him off making my way to the little girl.
When she saw me walking towards her, her face lit up while her mother paled.
"Hi, I'm Amber" I said to the little girl
"I'm Lilly" she said before attacking me in a huge hug
Her mother quickly grabbed her as guards stepped forward. I smiled at the little girl.
"It was very nice to meet you Lilly I hope to see you again" I said
She nodded eagerly and I smiled waving to her and allowing the guards to take me to my family.
"I'm so stealing those shoes" Emily said as I reached them
"You like kids?" Isaiah asked
My face lit up "I love them are there more?"
"There's plenty most people around here just don't like them" Elijah said
"Can we go inside this is giving me a headache?" Katie asked
My new parents agreed and we all walked up the grand stairs.
I turned once we got to the top and waved with a smile to all the people who came to see me mouthing a thank you.
Once inside everyone turned to me.
"Are you tired?" My new father asked
"Yes" I said without hesitation remembering how Sebastian hasn't slept in days
"Pick any room on the top floor" my mother said
We nodded and went to the elevator. Looking at the buttons I concluded this house had 6 stories.
Once we were all on the top floor we spread out.
Sebastian and I made a silent agreement that we would room together.
We picked a room near the end of the hallway and walked in. Not wasting a second we both took off our fancy clothes and turned towards the bed.
Sebastian gave me his t shirt to wear and I got in on the left side of the bed.
He was naked with the exception of his boxers but I couldn't find it in myself to be shy or self conscious around him.
We both got into the bed and I snuggled into his chest tracing the outlines of his muscles while he ran his fingers through my hair twirling my curls around his finger.
I fell asleep quickly more relaxed than I have ever been.
----------------
"Who allowed this?!" Someone yelled
I lazily opened my eyes while Sebastian jumped up standing over me protectively.
I looked up and saw both set of my parents along with my brothers Emily and Katie.
"Ugh what now?" I asked putting a pillow over my face
"Did you have sex with him?" Elijah growled
"What?" Sebastian and I asked at the same time
"Did he take your virtue?" My mom/ aunt asked
"Wait a second what are you talking about? We were sleeping!" I said
"Did he pressure you into sex?" Jace asked
I looked at Sebastian to make sure I just said that we slept. He shrugged and I looked back to my family.
"We didn't have sex" I said slowly
The looked like they didn't believe me and I threw my hands up.
"Why are you in his clothes then?" My dad/ uncle asked
"I don't have my luggage and he was being a gentleman" I said
"I don't like it" my new dad said
"Come on the girls are waiting" Emily said
I stood up and followed her towards the door.
"Eyes!" Jace Elijah and Isaiah growled
I looked at Sebastian to see he has a playful smile on his face.
"Amber go change" Jace said
"Here put this on" Elijah said taking off his suit jacket and draping it around me
Emily pulled me out of the room and down the hall to the elevator.
She pressed the 5 button and it took us 1 floor down.
She guided me down the hall seemingly to already have memorized it.
We stopped at 2 double doors and they opened to reveal a full blown spa.
Several workers rushed over to me with bright smiles and guided me to the showers.
I took off all my clothes before stepping in. My jaw dropped as the shower literally began doing all the work for me. The mechanical scrubbers moved around my body, hair and face cleaning me until I was spotless. When it came to shaving, I didn't trust it as much and opted to do it myself.
When I was finished warm air began jetting out from vents all around me drying my body hair and face completely. The doors opened and I was wrapped in a silk white robe and ushered over to another station.
I laid down on the chair and a woman plucked my eyebrows waxed my lip and put a charcoal mask, managing to make everything painless.
After she was done I laid on the massage tables where the rest of the girls were and we got massages while other ladies did our nails.
"Amber you are so lucky" Katie said
"We're all lucky" I said with a smile
"Damn right, I'm the werewolf princess's best friend" Emily said
After our massages were over and our nails were done, we got our hair done. Again mine included the pretty tiara and diamond jewelry.
As we were talking about what we would be if we could be anything in the world a knock came at the door.
"COME IN!" We all yelled giggling
The door opened and all the guys entered. They were all dressed in tailored suits, polished shoes, and had gotten haircuts. Elijah and Isaiah were also wearing crowns.
"You still aren't ready?" Alex whined
All of us girls looked at Emily causing her to blush and look away.
"Ooo Girl talk lets hear it" Jason said making himself comfortable on the couch, as did the other guys.
We rolled our eyes resuming our conversation.
"I don't know maybe an astronaut" Belle said
"Like NASA level or like teaching?" Katie asked
"NASA definitely, go big or go home" she said
"How about you Amber?" Emily asked
"A teacher" I said
"Subject?" Marissa asked
"I prefer Math but I'll enjoy anything" I said
"What are you talking about?" Sebastian asked
"What type of working men we would date" Emily said before anyone could reply
We all looked at her with wide eyes and the guys took that as verification.
"You don't need other guys you have us!" James said looking pointedly at Marissa
"Ok calm down Emily is a liar we were talking about what jobs we would have if we could do anything" I said
"We need you all in the Therapy room" one of the workers said
"Thank you Makayla" I said
She smiled with nod sucrrying away trying to hide her blush
"Why do you keep doing that?" Katie asked smiling
"I just think it's cool how people get happy when I remember their names" I said
"That's because we don't talk to the staff" Isaiah said
"Why not?" I asked as we all walked over to the therapy room
"They are here to work not to be our friends" Elijah said
"That's rude" I said slipping behind a wall to put on my undergarments as some kind of smoke came out the vents. "These people work very hard everyday, the least you could do is remember their names, they are humans too" I said stepping out
All of their eyes widened but I ignored it going to the next room.
"Amber!" Elijah and Isaiah growled
I poked my head back out "Yes?" I asked innocently
"Jesus Christ your making it hard to remember you're family" Isaiah muttered most likely thinking I wouldn't hear it
"Please cover up" Elijah said when he realized I was waiting for someone to say something
"I will" I said glancing at Sebastian who was trying hard to hide his boner
I laughed disappearing into the room. With the help of 2 workers I successfully got into the maroon ball gown without messing up my hair make up or nails, which were in that weird between stage of wet and dry where you think they're dry but you touch something and it fucks your life up.
When I was dressed and standing in my 4 inch stilettos I opened the door to see everyone ready already.
The other girls were wearing simple ball gowns that didn't have as much poof as mine did.
"No fair I want less poof" I pouted causing all eyes to turn to me
The girls squealed ditching the boys and surrounding me.
"Wow you look amazing" Katie said we all admired each other's outfits
"Ohh your shoes are velvet! Comfortable or fake out?" I asked Belle
"Comfortable surprisingly" she said
A throat cleared and we all looked up at the guys who all had their arms crossed. I stopped on Sebastian's form and scanned him from head to toe. His suit fit him perfectly, the dark circles under his eyes had vanished, he looked happy, and his plump pink lips sat in a frown as he tried to pretend he was hurt by our lack of attention.
"Amber" someone said waving a hand in my face
"Yeah?" I asked slowly looking away from Sebastian and to my mom/ aunt who looked like a whole new person
"Woah mom pretty! Both of you" I said scanning my new mom too
My mom and dad aka aunt and uncle took my hands pulling me off to the side.
"Amber you know we love you right?" My mom aunt said
I nodded
"It's ok for you to call us aunt and uncle and your parents mom and dad, only if you're comfortable with that though" my dad uncle said
I hugged them both tightly and nodded.
"You look very beautiful tonight baby girl" my uncle said
"You don't look too bad for an old man" I said with a teasing smile
"Who's old? I'm the coolest 46 year old out there" he said wiping imaginary dust off his shoulders
I laughed and turned to my parents. They were looking at me with hopeful eyes and I walked over to them.
"I'll call you mom and dad for now on if you want me to" I said quietly
My mom squealed loudly crushing me in a tight hug. While my dad chuckled deeply.
Once I was released by my mother I hugged him. He tensed obviously not used to being hugged and I smiled up at him.
His face softened and he kissed my forehead.
"You always were my little princess" he said quietly
"Come on daddy's girl you got a party full of people waiting for you" Isaiah said
I looked around the room at all my family and friends and for the first time in my life I felt utterly content and happy with every aspect of my life.
