“You are no daughter of mine!” My mother hissed and Jax went to hold the knife against her throat. I jumped between them and covered her body with mine. “Jax don’t!”
“Why the f***k not, she’s vile,” he snapped.
“You don’t hurt people who don’t kill, remember?”
“You’re my mate, I will f.ucking destroy anyone who hurts you the way she has, your father’s next.”
I got up and stood in front of him and pleaded, “please Jax, they are horrible people, but they are still my parents, please don’t hurt them.”
He looked down at my mother with contempt, and she stared back with hatred in her eyes. He growled inhumanly, which scared her, but she didn’t back down and met his eyes.
He bent down in front of her face and snarled, “you don’t get to look me in the eyes, do you know why the wolf gene skipped you?”
She only glared back at him, so he carried on, “because it’s a gift from God, animals are innocent are they not in his eyes?”
She didn’t answer, but I saw it register in her eyes like she hadn’t thought of that.
“You didn’t get the gene because you are evil, do you think he would be proud of how you beat and t.ortured your innocent child? You have beaten and scarred her back from w.hips, just like Jesus was w.hipped.”
Jax was clever, no one had ever gotten through to my mother before, but he knew her deeply religious ways and used it against her.
I saw regret and fear in her eyes as she realized he was right, but she was so stubborn she still wouldn’t speak.
“You won’t be welcomed anywhere but hell when it’s your time,” Jax sneered, and then spat in her face.
“Jax!” I scolded.
He stood up and muttered, “don’t worry, I won’t hurt the b.itch.” He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her up onto her feet.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Taking her home, that’s what you want, right?”
I nodded, and he turned back and carried on pulling her towards the door. He threw her in the boot of his car and I quickly got in the passenger seat, not wanting to leave him alone with her.
For a split second, I felt his rage through our bond, and it was terrifying. Rage so pure and hot, hatred was there too, and I felt how badly he wanted to kill her, it was so strong I wondered how he resisted the urge.
I was surprised to feel pain too, he felt pain for me and with that, a deep feeling of protectiveness, it was stronger than what I’d felt even from Fenris or Romulus, and then he slammed me out, so I couldn’t feel anything anymore.
“Sorry,” he gritted to me.
“It’s ok,” I whispered.
He looked at me and then back at the road as he drove. “Don’t be afraid of me Rose, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have lost control like I did, I just—” he hit the steering wheel in anger and carried on, “I just f.ucking lost control, I couldn’t get the image of your back out of my mind and that your own parents did that. I’m sorry for hurting her.”
I gently placed my hand on his knee and said, “it’s ok, I understand, but you’re doing the right thing and taking her home.”
“Only for your sake.”
“I know, and I love you for that.”
He was still too angry to say anything else, so we drove the rest of the way in silence.
When we got there, he climbed out of the car and pulled her out of the boot and then threw her in the back seat.
He leaned in and threatened, “you f.ucking tell anyone what happened I will hunt you down, and I’ll make you watch as I t.orture your husband before killing him and then you, and if you try to run I will send the whole pack to find you, do you understand?”
Her face was as it always was, emotionless, but she said, “I won’t tell anyone, you are right after all, I have sinned terribly, and it’s taken a devil to show me this, you need not worry I will do penance and w.hip myself for each of the times that I hurt my daughter.”
My mother really was extreme with her beliefs, so I knew she really would do what she said she would.
Jax moved so she could climb slowly out of the car, there was so much blood on her, I couldn’t see what injuries Jax had inflicted upon her.
She turned to me and fear hit me so hard I couldn’t breathe, that saying really was true that a mother was God in the eyes of a child.
I could have drawn the wrath of Romeo my alpha or even be at the mercy of Jax and I don’t think I’d feel quite the same level of fear that my mother could produce from me.
She came over to me and I saw the sadness on Jax’s face when she lifted her hands and I flinched in fear, expecting her to hit me.
Shock went through me when she held my face between her hands and kissed my forehead. “I am sorry for what I did child.”
She walked away after that and went inside what used to be my home.
Jax asked, “are you alright?” I nodded and went over and wrapped my arms around Jax, laying my head against his chest for comfort. He held me for a while and then said, “we should go before we draw any attention.”
Jax cleaned up at the warehouse first, then we left.
We were barely through the door when Romulus and Fenris came over. “Where the hell have you been?” Fenris asked Jax.
“I took her out on a date.”
“It must have been some f.ucking date, it’s one in the morning now.”
I don’t know why I always had the urge to giggle at the most inappropriate moments or things, it certainly had been some date alright, and I tried not to laugh out loud.
Jax shrugged, “she’s back now, so you can calm your t.its about it.” He shoved past them both, and they looked at me.”
“Hi?” I waved sheepishly.
Romulus smiled, but Fenris didn’t look impressed at all, he shoved a phone in my hand and said, “it’s yours, make sure you carry it everywhere, so you can message me or call and let me know what’s going on and where you are.”
I nodded meekly, and he kissed me on the forehead relaxing.
“Why were you so worried, you know I was with Jax.”
“Exactly,” Fenris replied, and I giggled stupidly.
“You’re cute when you giggle,” Romulus smiled and kissed my cheek. It really was a lovely and beautiful feeling to have so many people love me and show me affection, I still couldn’t believe they were my true mates, mine!
I hugged them both with my arm around each of their waists, and they hugged me back.
“I love you both,” I smiled into their chests
“I love you too,” Fenris said.
Romulus whispered, “I love you,” into my hair.
I loved Jax so much, but I was starting to think I’d have to come to terms with the fact he wasn’t as affectionate or loving as his brothers, how gentle he had been with me when he’d seen my back was the first time he’d really been so sweet and loving, well, before he went crazy and kidnapped my mother, maybe that was his way of being loving and affectionate?
“Can we sleep together?” I asked Fenris and Romulus. Clearly it came out wrong because Fenris said, “if that’s what you want, but I’d rather have s**x with you alone.”
“Oh my god!” I slammed my hand over my mouth and heat filled my cheeks. “I didn’t mean it to sound like that, I meant to snuggle like we did before.” More shyly, I added, “I’m pretty sore from so much s.ex.”
I kept my eyes on the floor, unable to look into theirs while I said that.
They both laughed and Fenris tilted my chin up to look at him. “It was my mistake for just assuming, but yes, we can do that if you want.”
We went back to the same massive room as before and along the way Romulus said, “this is your room now by the way, I don’t care what my dad says you are not sleeping in that shithole of a box room anymore.”
He spoke it with such passion that his alpha energy leaked out and I didn’t dare argue, Pfft, not that I would.
I didn’t know where Jax had gone, and I was sad he didn’t join us, but I figured he needed some space.
I lay in the middle of the bed again and Fenris cuddled me in front, while Romulus cuddled upto me from behind.
I fell asleep to them both playing with my hair softly, gently kissing my cheeks and shoulder every so often, it was the best feeling in the world and the wolf in me always felt like the safest little omega wolf in the world surrounded by her alpha mates.
In the morning, I woke up to the feel of Romulus kissing me along my neck softly. I sighed in bliss, and he murmured, “morning, love.”
Fenris was still asleep and had rolled over ,with his back facing me and I cuddled into him.
Slowly we all woke up properly, and I don’t know if I’d woken from the spell of our bond or if reality just hit me hard all of a sudden, but the realization that they were my mates, or in human terms, my boyfriends, and I’d lost my virginity to all of them just hit me super hard.
I suddenly couldn’t meet their eyes or even speak, I felt so shy and bashful, and my face would burn every time an image of what id done with them entered my head.
“What’s wrong with you?” Fenris asked.
“Nothing,” I replied meekly, and hid my face in the pillow.
He put his face next to mine so when I peeked up it was into his gorgeous golden hazel eyes. “Why have you suddenly gone all shy on us?”
“I don’t know, I think reality has hit me, and it’s all so real now, I have three mates, all alphas, and way out of my league, and we’ve…had s**x,” I whispered the last bit and they both began laughing.
Pfft, of course, I forgot they weren’t like me, they had been having s**x way before me with lots and lots of lovers so they were used to it.
Romulus pulled me up and moved me between his legs with his back against the headboard, and much like he had done before, he had me lay my back against his chest and wrapped his arms around me.
“You’re adorable,” he mumbled against my neck and lightly kissed it.
