Chapter 0245

“Wait? Mates? As in more than one? How do you know there is more than one?"

They both smile at me"

My mom has a direct link to the Moon Goddess and when | passed my twenty second birthday withno sign or hint of a mate she reached out to make sure there was nothing else we could or shouldbe doing. The Moon Goddess said that my mates were coming and we should be patient. Weassume our other mate is a female, since that would make the most sense since | need to producean heir to continue the family line, but | am happy to have Oscar now.” He reaches back to holdOscar’s hand"

Obviously, we can't tell anyone. The Elders would have a field day thinking I’m gay or bisexual, it’snot really in their generational DNA, but they would also see it as another reason to push me to takea chosen mate. The problem is, with Oscar the decision is no longer just mine and we don't wantanyone, but our chosen mate.” | “Okay, so | keep playing buffer then, works for me.” | shrug trying toplay it off like it was no big deal that | walked in on their make-out session, something | am veryNOT comfortable with. “I’m going to head over to Luna Anne's Suite and start to get ready. Whoknows how long they will need to prep me for this ball.” | sigh at the thought, but turn quickly to go.

| need to not be here right now.| understand the concept of hooking up, goddess knows my brotherand the rest of the guys do it plenty, but it has never been something on my radar. Boys are still notthat kind of novelty for me. | don't know if there is something wrong with me, but | just don'tunderstand the girls who fall all over themselves to get a guy's attention.

Don't get me wrong, | can appreciate a good looking guy like anyone else, I just never understoodwanting to cross any of those lines with anyone who wasn't my mate. | | was lost in thought as |walked into Luna Anne’s suite"

Perfect timing! | was just going to send Barty after you so we can get started. | can't wait! You aregoing to look amazing!! Now go jump in the shower and use the special scrub that | put in there foryou, oh and don't wash your hair, it will go up better with the product from this morning.”

° | just stared at her. “Being a girl is really complicated. Give me crack of dawn training in the rainand mud any day over all of this craziness.”

| mutter as | head to the bathroom and all three ladies just laugh behind me like | am joking, but I’mnot. This is borderline torture. Why can't | be like the guys and just put on a suit, pull my hair back ina ponytail and call it a night? At least | don’t have to go through the crazy Luna ceremony. | heardthe one for the Luna Queen lasts a week and is just ritual after ritual and party after party. | don’teven want to know how many wardrobe changes there would be for that, if | had to do three just forthis Elder conference today.

Those thoughts took me into the shower where | found a scrub that had actual directions on how touse it properly.

Apparently there are steps that | have to follow exactly to get my skin silky smooth. Why that has tobe a thing, | have no idea, no one is going to put their hands on me except Xander and | don't think |need to impress my gay cousin.

That thought made me giggle out loud a little.

“Are you alright in there?” Luna Anne questions me.

“Yeah. | just didn't know that body wash and scrubs could be this complicated.” | half told the truth.She just laughed back at me.
