The Mage and Her Men

Chapter 3

QUINN

As my eyes took in the hair of the man I had just had a steamy time with, I knew I had messed up really badly.

How could I have failed to remember that Alpha Xavier had dreads? This man had short jet-black hair and bold grey eyes that almost made it impossible to see his pupils. Looking closely now, I could see a long faint scar that spanned across his face.

Embarrassment rendered me speechless as color rose to my cheeks. I cleared my throat awkwardly, refusing to look Xavier in the eye.

"Brother, explain what you just did to my woman?" he bellowed.

Something about his voice sounded so possessive and I could tell that these two brothers weren't exactly on the best terms. Or he wasn't a fan of sharing his stuff with others.

"Your woman?" the other man scoffed derisively. "Since when have you had only one woman?"

I saw the need to interfere now. "Sorry. I mistook your brother for you. You should have at least told me you had a twin."

The frown left Alpha Xavier’s face as he drew me into his arms. "Does that mean you wanted me to do everything my brother did to you?"

My breath hitched in my throat as I fought with my mind to concentrate. I was at a loss for what to say under his intense gaze.

He released me now and smiled before saying, “Anyway, I have two identical brothers. Alpha Caspian and Alpha Hector." Pointing at his brother, he added, "He is Alpha Caspian."

The latter winked at me. "I'm guessing you're the lady from the Blood Moon pack." He licked his lower lips now. "See you around."

With that, he walked away. I turned to look at Xavier just in time to catch him staring daggers at Caspian.

"I'll see you around, okay." He patted my back gently and left.

The weight of everything that had happened since today clamped down on my soul and I suddenly realized that I needed a warm bath and some resting time.

"Miss Quinn?" a voice called out from behind me. It was a beautiful lady who I immediately guessed to be a maid because of her uniform.

"I'm Jenny, the maid assigned to you. I would have taken you to your room but I need to get something for one of the Alphas. Your room is the first on the right corner after the living room."

I nodded. "Thank you."

My legs felt heavy as I dragged my weight to the big building that stood taller than the other buildings around. The living room screamed of luxury but I was too tired to care.

Rounding a corner, I saw the room. I entered and barely got rid of my clothes before dumping myself on the bed and drifting off to sleep.

***

The rays of the sun filtered in through the half-opened window. I had forgotten about having a warm bath yesterday. I was so tired. I got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

The warm bath revived my energy a little and my legs had gotten lighter by the time I got out of the bathroom.

As I stepped into the room, my gaze fell on a masked man in black attire rummaging through the drawer on the nightstand. I became alarmed immediately as I grabbed a pen on the table to at least defend myself.

"What are you doing here?" The panic was so evident in my voice.

The man merely glanced at me before continuing with what he was doing.

Who was he? I wondered. And why did he look so unconcerned about the fact that I caught him? I made my way towards him, clenching the pen tightly.

I was a few inches away from him when he turned. I wasn't expecting that, so I staggered backward and the worst thing happened.

The towel wrapped around my chest went loose and I was too shocked to stop it from sliding off my body. I stood in my naked glory before the man, unsure of what to do next.

Just as he was about to say something, the door knob turned and before I could pick up the towel, I heard the clicking of the door. In a split second, the masked man picked up my towel and wrapped it around my body before jumping out of the window.

The moment his hands connected with my skin, I felt an electrifying buzz course through my veins. My wolf whimpered softly and made a little dance in my head. How did he move so fast like a flash of lightning and who exactly was he? Different thoughts crossed my mind that I forgot I had company.

"What are you doing in my room, little princess?" Alpha Caspian's voice snapped me out of my reverie.

I recognized him so well now. Alpha Caspian, the black-haired playboy.

I clutched my towel tight as I processed his words. His room? s**t! The maid had told me my room was in the right corner, while I had rounded the left corner.

Hold on! If this room was Alpha Caspian's, did that mean the masked man was trying to steal something important in the pack? Or was he trying to kill Caspian? But why did I feel that strong connection to him?

"s**t!" I cursed under my breath as I mumbled something that sounded like "sorry."

I started towards the door but he was suddenly standing in front of me and blocking the door with a look of lust boldly written on his face.

"How about we finish what we started yesterday?" he drawled. "I f*****g want you!"

His voice was like fire in my body. I was throbbing with heat as every rational thought scattered and tumbled out of my head.

He started moving closer to me while I took a few steps backward. I knew I had to run because if his hands did so much as make contact with my skin, I was going to lose control.

Why was this devilish playboy making me feel this way?

He was so close now. Too close for comfort that my legs stopped moving. He pulled me flush against his hard-muscled chest and I felt my n*****s push hard through the towel. I knew exactly what I wanted. Enough of being a good girl.

I had been a good girl all my life, but all I ever got was maltreatment from my pack members. Even the Moon Goddess never favored me. I never got my mate when other girls my age had gotten theirs. So it wasn't a bad idea to get wild a bit.

If I can't get a mate, I should at least, get laid, I concluded in my mind.

Without further warning, I looped my arms around his neck as his head slowly lowered towards mine. He took my lips in a desperate kiss as his hands roamed my body. My p***y was tingling and throbbing relentlessly as I brought my hands to the bulge in his pants.

I was about to unfasten the zip on the pants. when the door swung open and an attractive lady with long black hair entered with a shocked expression on her face.
