He asks looking a little shocked
“Yes, but she hates me, I don’t want her here”
“You can’t not ask her”
Dad tries to tell me
“She can, if that’s what she wants then that’s what she gets. It’s meant to be a happy moment and I won’t have her upset over it”
Gavin warns everyone, grabbing me and yanking me back
“I just want to say I didn’t tell her and I didn’t know until right now”
Carter says holding his hands up, my eyes snap to him
“What the f**k does that mean?”
Carly groan pinching the bridge of her nose
“I’m sorry, daisy must have told her you got attacked”
I look to Desmond in a panic
“Tell them not to let her in”
“I have no say babe, she has a royal pass”
I cry out, dropping my hand in Desmond’s arms, he pulls both me and gavin in close
“It’s going to be fine, you have us both now. I promise she won’t make trouble”
He whispers but I catch Carter and Carly’s looks to each other, gavin talks as a cold feeling falls over me
“Yeah I’ll kick her out if she does”
Gavin adds.
“I wish that were true, she’s like a tornado, you can’t control her, can’t tell her to go or shut up, tell her to be quiet or less destructive”
Hope whispers, I look up at the boys then back to my grandparents
“What’s going on?”
They were clearly debating something and ignoring the rest of us, I groan looking back at the boys and I sign
“I need coffee and food”
They nod, leading me towards the kitchen island. Desmond takes a seat and he yanks me onto his knee, burying his head in the crook of my neck, gavin pours us coffee and gets to work making breakfast.
Desmond’s lips connect to my mark, sending a buzz of life straight through my body. It reacts before I have a chance to stop it, turning and slamming my lips against his own, my face tingles to life as we kiss.
My heart races as his hands run up my back to my skull, leaving a memory on my skin as his teeth graze my bottom lip. The world around me falls away, my heart beating to his rhythm as our kiss intensifies.
My fingers tangle in his hair, the love I have for him explodes in my chest, spreading to every crevice in my body, my heart so full of love it brought a tear to my eye as his emotions fill my soul.
All the wall’s within my body drop, allowing for his spirit to consume me, fill me with hope and love, his tender touch leaves goosebumps in its wake, each one felt like it popped with life.
His tongue touches my own softly, his flavour fills my mouth with the sweetest vanilla flavour, soft and smooth, every hair on my body stood to attention as one hand runs down my back to my ass, squeezing it and pulling me tighter against him, his c**k rock solid under me, straining against his shorts and hitting me right in the c**t.
But as my hips rock just slightly I’m hit with a streak of fear through the bond, so potent it takes my breath away as we both pull away at the same time to look for gavin just as he drops the plates out of his hand, they shatter on the ground silencing the room.
His face snaps to ours, tears in his eyes as he mouths the one word I never thought I’d hear him mouth, destroying me in an instant
“Mate”
A feral growl rattles through the air, all heads turn to it as Hadley stands in the arms of her mate, her body being pulled back as she tries to get out of his grip.
“Mate!”
She cries
“MINE!”
Tate roars, his guards pile in, filling the room and all of them go straight for gavin.
My body moves before I have a chance to even think about it, hope pushes of Desmond and jumps over the kitchen island and I land directly in front of Gavin on the piles of sharp ceramic shards on the ground as tates guards move in.
I grasp the air around me, swinging it back towards the guards and I send them flying across the room with a growl, it all happened in an instant, so fast nobody else had a chance to react.
“TOUCH HIM AND YOU ALL DIE!”
I scream as that same anger explodes within me, a burst of power so strong I couldn’t contain it breaks free of my body as I grasp the air around each guards throat, constricting their breathing as I glare at them all.
“Call them off Tate!”
Desmond growl, coming to my side
“No! He’s not having my mate!”
“I don’t want your mate! I already have 2!”
Gavin snaps, stepping forwards and he wraps his arms around my waist, his heart was racing, his body trembles as he breathes in my scent, calming himself down.
“I don’t want her, I don’t want anyone but you both”
He whispers, kissing my jaw and throat, I could feel the honesty in each word he spoke. He was telling the truth.
“Mate is heartly and Desmond, bond barely there”
Gunner tells me, each word spaced with a kiss as he panics, thinking we would be angry with him. I tear my eyes away from the warriors and I turn into gavins arms, grabbing his face in my hands and I softly kiss his lips. Hadley growls from behind me, but it’s easy to ignore it when gavins sorrowful eyes meet my own.
“I believe you. I love you, you are ours”
“Agreed”
Desmond adds, pulling his face towards him and he kisses him, again Hadley growls but we ignore her.
“You promise you believe me?”
Gavin asks, I smile, rising up on my tip toes and I kiss him softly again, ignoring the sting of my bare feet crushing against the shards on the floor.
“With all my heart”
As I do he hears the noise of the ceramic against the floor, he squeaks grabbing my waist and he places me on the counter
“Careful”
As he lifts me the power inside me dissolves and I release tates men, all of them gasping for air.
“Stay back or I let her kill you all”
Desmond growls at them, they look to Tate who was slowly looking around the room, studying us all as Hadley stood in his arms crying silently. My stomach sours at her face.
All my life I've come second to her, I've always let her have what she wants, I've always stood back and let her do her thing regardless of my feelings.
But not this, she won’t take him from me, she won’t have gavin and she won’t take my happiness.
“And you never thought to mention his mate was Hadley?”
Desmond growls looking past me to Carter
“She was not meant to come until after the Ailm marks appeared, by then the bond would have been broken and neither of them would have felt it”
“Your Ailm fated?”
Hadley asks us, I nod yanking gavin in closer, he complies, holding onto me like Im a safety blanket, too afraid to let go
