The Omega And Her Triplet Mates

Chapter 18: Noticing a change

Another few months passed, and I felt bad for the triplets, because of what had happened to me, the alpha had pushed back on making them the new alphas.

With help from the packs’ personal therapist, I slowly dealt with what had happened to me, my nightmares had finally stopped from being every night to maybe once every two weeks, and I’d finally healed both my human and wolf form.

Jax had taken to sleeping on the floor in my room on a mattress, refusing to let me sleep alone, he didn’t want me to feel alone and afraid, but he also didn’t want to risk me ever being taken again.

When it came to me being their true mate, well, Fenris would look at me coldly whenever he saw me, I think he was afraid that if he showed some emotion, I might fall into his arms or something.

Romulus avoided me like the plague, I think I’d seen him maybe once, twice tops, and he seemed more sea deep in females than usual.

I was surprised they hadn’t outright rejected me yet, and I had a feeling Jax had threatened them violence if they did while I was still getting over my ordeal.

I didn’t know if I wanted them either, I didn’t know them well enough to make such a big decision, but I disliked Romulus the most, he was the meanest even though Jax had described him as the romantic, Pfft, more like womanizer.

Since I’d been back he hadn’t been mean or called me names and since his apology he hadn’t physically harmed me again either.

It was while me and Jax were eating dinner together in the kitchen that things heated up, and not in a good way.

Jax loved to torment, and he just had to open his big mouth. Romulus walked into the kitchen holding hands with his new girlfriend. They grabbed some food and then his girlfriend grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him to her, so she could kiss him.

With a mouthful of food, Jax casually said, “you know he belongs to his true mate now right?”

She instantly broke the kiss and looked at Jax. “What?”

“Oh yeah, you didn’t know? He found his true mate.” Turning to Romulus, he said, “you going to claim her tonight?” He winked when he said it, making me blush, the girlfriend storm out and Romulus growl at him. “I’m not f.ucking claiming anyone.”

“She’s your mate.”

Romulus flicked a glance to me and then looked back at Jax. “No she’s not, I don’t want her.”

Jax leaned on the table folding his arms, I couldn’t help stare at the tattoo sleeve and notice even through the beautiful artwork his arms bulged, he definitely couldn’t hide all that muscle.

“Ah ok, so you saying she’s all mine and Fenris’?”

“I don’t give a s.hit, go for it.” Romulus leaned his lower back against the counter and folded his own arms.

“That’s good then, more p*****. for me to f***k, I’m definitely the one who’s going to take her virginity.” My cheeks burned so hotly I didn’t know where to look.

Romulus looked surprised to hear I was a virgin, I don’t know why when he had spent so much time telling me how ugly I was, In his eyes, no one would want to touch me.

He grew icy and unreadable, usually that was Fenris’ look, I don’t think I’d ever seen Romulus look cold before.

“You can do whatever you want with her Jax, she’s all yours. I take it you’ve chosen to accept her as your mate?”

He was challenging Jax because Jax hadn’t said anything about accepting me or wanting me as a mate. He even still flirted with Sheila and some other females. I don’t think he’d touched anyone intimately since he’d found out, though.

He narrowed his eyes at Romulus and gave a cold look of his own that sent chills down my spine just seeing it. Romulus didn’t break eye contact and in the end Jax said, “I haven’t decided yet, it’s a big decision to make, and I want Rose to be in a better place before we either accept or, worse, reject her left right and centre.”

Romulus gave a nod. “Fair enough, but I think it’s safe to say you’ll probably be her only mate, I can’t see Fenris accepting her, f***k I don’t think Fenris would accept being bonded to anyone in such an unbreakable way.”

They both seemed to agree on that, and then the alpha walked in and said, “Rose is your true mate?”

Oh crap, they hadn’t told him yet and by his face he was absolutely, utterly, in no way, impressed by this news. I worried he might actually have a heart attack.

Jax jumped up and spun to face him. “Uh dad! f***k, I didn’t see you there.”

“Language Jax!”

“S.hit, uh, I mean f***k, sorry…” I broke Jax off by kicking him in the shin before he sent his dad over the edge.

The alpha shook his head like Jax was beyond help, and then he focused on the news and said, “we will all need to have a meeting about this, including Rose.”

He stormed off after that, and Romulus s.lapped Jax round the side of the head. “Why did you have to bring it up in such a public area.”

Jax shrugged, completely unbothered. “I don’t know, I wanted to wind you up, thought it would be fun, but this meeting with dads going to be even more fun,” he grinned.

Romulus grew angry and snapped, “dads absolutely furious.”

“I know,” Jax grinned even wider.

“You really are f.ucking psychotic,” Romulus snapped and stormed off.

Jax gave a ‘can you believe this guy?’ Face to me. I touched his shoulder and said, “welllll, you are kind of psycho, just a little bit.”

Jax rolled his eyes. “Pfft, whatever, you lot are just boring.”

I patted his shoulder sarcastically and without thinking I kissed the top of his head.

I cringed inwardly, and of course Jax found a way to use it to torment me. “Well, that was awkward,” he said, looking up at me.

“Sorry,” I whispered.

“Yeah, me too.”

I was blushing so hard and he must have realized how embarrassed I was because he got to his feet and grabbing my face between his hands he playfully kissed the top of my head too. “Chill, it’s all good.”

I wasn’t so sure. He still acted the same as he always did, so I wasn’t sure if the whole true mate thing bothered him at all, or any of them for that matter because it did me.

I noticed I missed Jax more when he wasn’t around, I got butterflies in my tummy when he was, but all that wasn’t so major as I had already fallen for Jax before him being revealed as my true mate, it was more jarring to me when I found myself looking around for Fenris, I kind of missed him when he wasn’t here, and I’d get excited when he was, sometimes I’d just full-blown get this strong urge to jump into his arms and wrap my legs around his waist or something, of course I couldn’t actually act on any of this.

I even felt similar things about Romulus, I’d get jealous seeing him with another female, or I’d sometimes fantasize about what it would feel like to kiss his full lips. I had always been somewhat attracted to him, but not to this extent.

It was all bizarre to me and I wanted to reject everyone instantly before they could reject me, I didn’t want the pain of being rejected on top of the heartache Jax said I’d feel from it for the rest of my life, at least if I rejected them first I’d feel more in control and only have to deal with the pain of not being with my true mates.

Jax had wandered off somewhere when I was trying to reach the top shelf in the plate cupboard. I could not for the life of me reach that high up at only five, one, and I was seriously debating on whether I’d have to climb onto the counter when Romulus appeared from nowhere, and without a word simply reached up from behind me and grabbed the plates for me. He put them down on the counter and simply carried on doing his own thing.

I had to control my breathing, having him that close to me, having any of them close to me for that matter always sent me over the edge. Their scents smelt so good, and it could become overwhelming whenever they were in my personal space.

Jax I found a little easier to cope with, I think because I spent the most time with him so I had somewhat adjusted to his scent.

Over the next few weeks, nothing really interesting happened except I did come to notice whenever I struggled with something in the kitchen, whether it be reaching high places or burning myself trying to grab the tray from the oven, Romulus always seemed to be around and would grab the things I couldn’t reach for me or take out the tray so I didn’t burn myself.

He’d do all this without a word and I slowly found myself hating him a little less and found myself liking the small and simple things he’d do for me. It probably didn’t mean much to him, but it meant the world to me.

I knew today was the day that the alpha wanted to have a meeting with us all, and I was super anxious, I wanted Jax with me when we went and when Fenris walked in I grabbed his arm without thinking.

Last time he’d told me off for touching him and I waited for him to do it again, but he didn’t.

“Do you know where Jax is?” I asked. He looked down at my hand on his arm and then back up to me. “Why?”

“I was hoping he’d walk with me when we go and meet with the alpha.”

“What’s wrong with just coming with me or Romulus?”

I was surprised at his words, if I had more confidence in myself, I’d almost say he seemed a little jealous.

“Nothing’s wrong, I just, I’m close to Jax.”

“I know, you cling to him like a puppy.” He sounded irritated, and I didn’t understand why.

“I’m sorry,” I said.

“Whatever, he’s outside helping our mum with something.”

He walked off and left me after that. He really was moody, did I want a cold and grumpy mate? I shook away those thoughts and went out to find Jax.

He was helping the Luna bring in grocery bags of all things. I went over to them and the Luna hugged me, she seemed to like doing that ever since I’d been back and more so since the alpha had told her about me being their sons’ true mate.

Turning to Jax she scolded him like she kept doing lately. “You best accept her as your mate young man, she’s been the best thing for you and your murderous ways.” He rolled his eyes at her and kissed her cheek.

We helped her bring in the shopping which was a lot! And helped unpack everything, by the time we were done she said, “go on then, it’s time to meet with Romeo.”
