u to be happy and we will respect whatever decision you make.” Levi said.
“Alright. Is there a timeline?”
“No. Whenever you’re ready to make the decision then we’ll listen and we will completely
respect the decision.” Lucas said.
“And the loser will bow out gracefully.” Levi added.
“Okay. This is a lot to take in, but I guess it’s worth a shot.” I said.
“Great. So, I’m beating him to the punch and I am taking you on a date tonight.” Lucas said,
jumping in straight away.
“Okay.”

CHAPTER 017
“You know a date requires you to go to her front door and pick her up. Her dads are going to
want to meet you.” Levi said, obviously trying to scare him.
“My parents aren’t home. They’ve left for some royal duties that they have to attend.” I said. And Lucas looked at Levi with a s**t eatCHAPTER 017

I was a little weary about this conversation that the guys wanted to have with me. But we stopped at the park before school and Levi was sitting there waiting for us.
So he stood up and walked over and hugged me when he saw me.
“So, what’s going on?” I asked, skeptically.
“We had a talk last night. And we’ve decided that we are both interested. More than just
friends.” Levi explained.
“Really?” I asked.
“Why are you surprised after I kissed you last night?” Levi asked and Lucas snapped his head up and looked at Levi. I heard a slight growl ripple up from his chest, but he managed to
control it.
“Well, to be honest I was starting to think it was just a pissing contest between the two of you. To see who could get the princess first.” I admitted.
“Why would you think that?” Lucas asked.
“It was just a feeling that I had.”
“Well, it’s not. And if you’re willing the
we are both going to take you on dates and spend
some time with you and let you decide who you want to be with.” Lucas said.
“And you two are alright with this?” I asked, confused.
“Yeah. We want yoing grin on his face, causing Levi’s smirk to disappear
pretty quickly.
“Alright then. I’ll pick you up at 7pm.” Lucas said. And I nodded my head.
When I got to school I explained the whole thing to Avery and even she was stunned that they
had come up with this plan.
She liked the plan and encouraged me to have as much fun as possible. Especially with my
parents out of town, but I knew that it wasn’t going to be that easy.
Whenever my parents leave, Lexie and Chloe always come and stay with us.
When Lexie found out who her mate was, it completely shocked everyone. It turned out to be a guy that my mother was seeing in the past but had since ended things once she met my dads. But Jacob, he’s also my godfather and he stays with me as well when my parents aren’t around. And he treats me like a daughter. So, I know he will give the guys the third degree. And that’s why I didn’t tell them that they were staying with me. Because I wanted to see how they
would react to Jacob being at the house and asking them all the same questions that my
dads would if they were there.
Avery thought it was a brilliant idea. Jacob could be good practice for the real thing. When
they really meet my parents.
“I just don’t get it Avery. No guy has ever shown any interest in me at all. But all of a sudden, I have two guys fighting over me.” I said.
“Do you know why no guy has shown any interest?”
“Why?” I asked, curiously.
“Because they are scared of your mothers powers and your dads are scary. That’s the only reason. It doesn’t mean that none of them like you. Almost every guy in this school likes you. But until we all turn 18 and you know who your mate is, none of them were going to do anything. Not until they knew for sure that you were their mate. And believe me, they are all hoping that you are mated to them.” She explained.
I stopped in the hallway of school and I looked around at all the students walking around the hallway and I did notice a few people looking at me and then they turned away when I looked at them, but I didn’t really notice too many people staring at me.

CHAPTER 017
“This is way too surreal.” I said.
“I know. But you were also really smart as a kid. And you weeded out the ones that wanted to be your friend only because you are the princess. The friends that you’ve got now are the ones that like you for you.” Avery said. And I scoffed.
“Yeah. That’s why Hazel hates me. Because I told her to take a hike when I knew that she only cared that I was the princess.” I said.
“Exactly. And you really dodged a bullet with that b***h. If she was your friend then you wouldn’t have anyone else. She would scare everyone away so she could have you all to herself. She wouldn’t share the princess with anyone.” Avery smirked.
“That’s actually a really scary thought.” I said. And Avery started laughing.
We got to our first class and sat in our usual seats and we were handed back a quiz that we were given a few days ago. And when I looked at it I froze.
“What’s wrong?” Avery asked.
“I got a B-.” I whispered.
“So?”
“What do you mean? That’s f*****g horrible. That’s disgusting. I can’t show this to my parents.
” I said.
“I know for a fact that your parents aren’t going to care that you got a B-
“They won’t but I do. This is so shameful.” I said.
“Emma. Calm down. It’s going to be alright.”
“It’s the guys. Since they came into my life, I haven’t been able to concentrate.” I said.
“Alright. Well, if you feel so strongly about this grade then you tell them that they are going to take it easy with these dates and not have you out every night because you want to keep on top of your school work.” Avery said. And I just nodded my head.
It was the best solution that I could come up with. I’ve never gotten a B before and I was so ashamed. I was glad that this was just a quiz and the grade wouldn’t be counted towards my final grades of the year. But it was definitely an eye opener. I had to start making time for school work and making sure the guys understood that.
But at the same time, I loved the attention that they were giving me.
I was feeling so torn right now. But Avery assured me that this feeling would go away once I got used to the B- staring back at me and when exams come and I ace all of them, this quiz

won’t mean anything to me.
I really hoped that she was right.
