Oliver’s POV.

I tried to delay getting off the plane for as long as I could. I had been so wrapped up in the joy of being marked by Raven I had forgotten all about Sofia being the Beta of the Crystal Lake Pack. If I could have hidden on the plane for the entire trip, I would have, but I knew I would have to face my past sooner or later.

As I stepped off the plane, Sofia’s eyes met mine, and I saw them flicker to the healing mark on my neck. It is like a fire was ignited behind her eyes when she saw it. If there is anything I know about Sofia, it is her temper is as fiery as her red hair.

Now, I am sitting in the back of the car while Sofia drives recklessly down the road, weaving in and out of the traffic. Leo is sitting beside me with the most smug look on his face. I can tell he is pleased with how everything is going down, even though Leo and I had called a truce after Raven was pushed down the stairs.

“Beta Sofia, how do you know Oliver?” Leo asks, trying to hold back his laughter.

Sofia slams on the brakes in the middle of the road, and the cars behind us skid to a stop, barely missing us.

“Is this really where you want to have this

conversation?” Sofia growls.

Leo stops himself with his hands to keep from hitting the seat in front of him. He is stifling his laughter.

“We can discuss this later,” I say diplomatically. “Leo, this is none of your business.

“I disagree,” Leo says as Sofia continues to drive down the road. “We share a mate. I think this is my business.”

Sofia glances at the two of us over her shoulder before putting her eyes back on the road. “There is nothing to tell,” Sofia lies to Leo. “Oliver and I were just old friends.”

“Were?” Leo asks. “Why are you two no longer friends?”

“Lies and deception,” Sofia growls.

“I didn’t lie,” I try to defend myself. “I just stopped calling.”

“Why would you stop calling a dear old friend?” Leo snickers.

“Stay out of this,” Sofia and I growl simultaneously.

I smack Leo with the back of my hand, hoping to shut him up. Leo raises his hands and leans back in the seat with a smirk.

“I was planning on calling,” I say to Sofia, trying to ignore Leo beside me.

5 +90 Points at most

“Is that so,” Sofia scoffs. “Were you ever planning on telling me you found your mate?”

I can hear the hurt in her voice

as she speaks. Our relationship must

have meant more to her than it did to me. The most we had ever done was k**s.

Finally, Sofia pulls up in front of a beautiful white house. There is a massive front porch that wraps around the side of the building, and a bright red door stands out brightly. Leo immediately hops out of the car and begins to stretch as if he had been sitting for a long period of time.

Leo peeks into the back window and gives me a wink before he heads to the front porch. Settling himself into a rocking chair, Leo rocks back and forth.

I know he is giving me time to work things out with Sofia.

Sofia sighs heavily as she turns in her seat to look at me. “Are you going to explain yourself?” She asks me.

“I am sorry,” I say to her. “I didn’t think you would have cared.”

“You didn’t think I would have cared?” Sofia yells. “We had been dating for a year, and then all of a sudden, you disappeared. I was so concerned for you.

If your Beta Nathaniel hadn’t explained where you were, I would have assumed you were dead.”

“I didn’t mean to make you concerned,” I try to console her. “I found my mate. What would you have had me do? Reject her?”

“I obviously didn’t expect you to reject her. You couldn’t have rejected her if you wanted to. She is the Luna Queen,” Sofia huffs. “But a simple phone call would have been nice.”

“I didn’t know what to say,” I admit. “It all happened so fast. I went to warn Raven about the oracle’s vision and found out that not only was she my mate, but that she also already had a mate.”

“What are you going to do?” Sofia asks me. “Are you really going to be with someone who already has a mate?”

“We have been marked and mated,” I try not to sound proud. “She belongs to me.”

“And what about Alpha Leo?” Sofia asks. “Does the Luna Queen not belong to him as well?”

“She does,” I respond. “She belongs to us both.”

Sofia shakes her head in disappointment.

“It is your life,” she says. “But

I would not be comfortable sharing my mate.”

“Sharing a mate isn’t for everyone,” Raven’s voice comes from outside the car. I have no idea how long she was there listening to our conversation.

Sofia’s face flushes with embarrassment as Raven gets into the back seat of the car with me.

“Luna Queen,” Sofia bows her head. “I am sorry if I offended you.”

“I am not offended,” Raven says sweetly. “I believe this

conversation

would be better had with the three of us.”

“What about Leo?” Sofia asks in a snarky voice.

“He can join us as well,” Raven says with a fake smile plastered on her lips.

“That won’t be necessary,” Sofia grumbles. “I believe Oliver and I have cleared up everything.”

“Are you sure?” Raven says. “I can explain how having more than one mate works if you would like.”

I have never seen Raven act in such a way before. Her feelings are bombarding me through the mate bond. Jealousy and anger are the top two.

“Raven,” I say. “I am yours.”

“I know that,” Raven snaps back. “I just need to make sure she knows it too.”

“Luna Queen,” Sofia swallows hard. “I apologize for my comments about multiple mates.”

“I won’t be disrespected at this pack as well,” Raven says coldly.

“Of course not,” Sofia lowers her head. “I apologize, Luna Queen.”

“Very good,” Raven says as she exits the car.

I stare at Raven dumbfounded as she walks toward Leo on the porch.

“I heard she was shy and meek,” Sofia mumbles under her breath.

A smile creeps across my face, “Not anymore.”
