We all make our way down stairs. The others grumbling under their breath. We walk into the living room and Tejus is standing there with a scowl on his face and arms folded. He goes to open his mouth but Zander growls

"Ok, we're here. Now does someone what to explain what the fuck just happened?"

"That's obvious. Or are you blind aswell as stupid?" Tejus barks. Zanders about to take a swing at him when Caleb steps in front of him.

"Move Caleb or your next. How did this happen under our noses! Aren't you curious as to how he tricked our mate into mating him?!" Zander bellows

"You obviously haven't been paying attention to our mate. Because Since the moment Tejus arrived she's been different. Did you not wonder why she wanted us to get along? Why did she keep sticking up for him? Did you seriously not notice anything? Or were you too blinded by jealousy to notice?" Caleb says

"That's not fair, Caleb. We've all been pretty busy. And what about Declan? How does he fit into this picture? How did she end up with 2 other mates? And why didn't she tell us about him?" Blake asks, pointing right as Tejus.

"Maybe because of how we all kept behaving. With the whole Declan thing and then how hostile we all were to Tejus, when he arrived. And why? Because, thinking about it now. I don't even know why I acted that way or why I was angry at him in the first place" I say. Sebastian groans

"You too? Why are you 2 Ok with it?"

"Because she's been a wreck and too scared to tell us because of how we acted. She should have felt secure enough to tell us right away. And she didn't. She's been going through so much shit and we've all been pretty oblivious to it. Like Caleb said, the signs have been there" I tell them

"How can you be so sure? What makes you think he hasn't tri-" Keelan says but Caleb cuts him off. I also notice Tejus walking away. Where's he going?

"She's calling for me. Let me know how it goes won't you?" He smirks at me over his shoulder. I shake my head and get back to the conversation.

"Do any of you remember that someone will try to trick her?" 

"This is what I'm saying Caleb. How do we know he's not the one tr-"

"Just think about it. Imagine Tejus fucking her… Then Declan… Who do you think is tricking her?" They all stand there gaping, then shudder. Not quite knowing what to say.

"Exactly… and tell me, why didn't we realise she wasn't getting the jitters like she should have? She's been away from Declan for quite some time with him popping in here and there." I ask.

"But she did get them" Zander says, confused.

"Yeah, the day Tejus left." Caleb laughs.

"But how do you know it's Declan and not Tejus tricking her?" Blake asks

"I thought that was obvious. She told us to shut up so she could sleep!" I say with a huge smile on my face. 

"I'm not following" Keelan and Sebastian say and the others nod in agreement.

"And you wonder why she didn't tell us. The spell on her so she could speak again was…..?" I face palm and shake my head. I was slow too but that solidified my belief that Tejus was true and not Declan.

"You mean once fully mated to all her mates, she can speak. Fuck. So why haven't we been getting the betrayal? And when I next see that son of a bitch I'm going to kill him!" Keelan says through gritted teeth.
