Chris entered their bedroom and closed the door while Jake and Colten walked towards the bed.

Jake climbed the bed, sat in the middle before scooting to support his back to on the bedframe when he realised he was too tired and needed something to lean on.

Colten sat on the left edge of the bed and leaned against the wall, waiting for his other mate, Chris. They had to talk about the mission he was going on with Jake.

Chris walked towards the bed, reaching, he took a seat in the middle, facing his mates when Jake made way by crossing his legs.

Jake looked at his mates one after the other and knew they had something to say. He just wish they will hurry on it and also wish it wasn't something bad.

He hope they haven't decided to leave him because of his past. Was it too much for them to handle? But he has promised to deal with it. He has promised to fight it, to be strong. He promised he wouldn't let it interfere with his present.

'Stop thinking too much and just listen to them' his wolf said. His wolf was right. He should stop thinking too much and listen to them.

"Y....you.....you have something to say?" Jake asked hesitatingly. His mates didn't look him in the eyes and they still had that sad look on. This was making him so anxious.

"What is it? Spit it out" he said, this time, more courageously and determined.

A few seconds later, Chris spoke, "Jake" oh shit! Was he right? Chris didn't call him 'kid' which he kind of liked being called that because of the affections he felt in the word.

Facing down with a sad look, he said, "You...."

"Don't you want me anymore?" He asked in a low sad tone. He was breaking down, he knew. "What?! What are you talking about?" Chris asked in a panicked tone.

"Am I too much to handle? Is my past too much?" He kind of understood. Who would want to be with someone who has been raped by more than two people? He understood. But it still hurt. He thought he could start afresh now that he had his mates. But.......looks like it was too much for them to handle.

"I......" And tears begun to fall. He couldn't hear anything, not even his wolf's voice, who was probably complaining and scolding him.

"What the heck are you talking about?" Chris said furiously with a hold of confusion in his tone. "I.....understand..... If you want to leave me"

"What?!" Chris exclaimed in shock. Jake felt Colten's hand grab his and he felt the warmth from his mate's hand traveling to his body. It was a nice feeling. A nice feeling indeed.

"What nonsense are you sprouting?"

"Jake....." Colten's tone was low and gentle, "Aren't you mistaken something here?" Jake finally raised up his head to look at Colten in the eye, tears flowing down from his eyes.

Without realizing, a dumb response came out, "Huh?..." Colten reached out his hand and begun wiping the tears. Jake wanted to catch the warm hand brushing on his cheeks, wiping the tears. But he controlled himself. Before he heard what they wanted to say, he won't make any move.

"Chris, wait" Colten said to Chris and turned to look at Jake, "What are you thinking Jake" Chris looked at Colten and smiled. He was really glad his mate was here at the moment because he didn't know what he would do if it was just him and Jake.

Colten was the gentle type. He could talked gently coaxing the truth out of them. He wasn't that type. Chris wouldn't be able to do this. With him and Jake, it would have turned into an interrogation with a lot of yelling and pulling of hair. Of course, it would be his hair pulled out of frustrations.

"Tell me love"

Jake sniffed and looked at them before facing down again with a devastated look, "I....I...." And slowly, Jake begun, "I....I thought you want to leave me"

"What?!" Chris yelled in shock. Colten turned to look at him his index finger on his lips, gesturing Chris to keep quiet before turning his attention back to their small mate with a gentle smile, "Because of your past?"

Jake nodded as an answer. "What makes you think so?" Colten said gently again. And once again, Chris was glad to have him here. This time, Jake didn't answer, driving Chris even more anxious.

A few seconds later, Jake looked up at Colten with a horrified and panic look, "Because you guys had a sad look as if breaking a death news of a loved one to someone, and Chris didn't call me kid when he started talking" Chris's eyes widened in shock. Did Jake liked it so much when he called him kid? But when Jake's other words played in mind, he sighed and looked up at Jake, who was tearing up again. 

Colten once again begun wiping the tears with his hand.

"We're not going anywhere kid" he said in a gentle tone, earning Jake's attention, "What?"

"I said we're not going anywhere"

"Right, we are not going anywhere" Jake's head snapped up at Chris who had a gentle smile on his face. Colten begun stroking his cheek, "We love you Jake. And you are our mate. We're not leaving"

"That's right. Your past doesn't matter to us. You're ours now and we are not letting you go"

"Even if you want to leave us" Colten added. Jake stared at his mates with a shock look. A second later, his expression changed with a big smile on his face as he nodded with, "Hmm" Chris covered his nose down to his mouth, 'So cute' he thought.

Jake held Colten's hand which was stroking his cheek with that beaming look. His mates weren't leaving him. 'I told you so'

'I don't think I heard' Jake replied to his wolf.

Seeing that beaming look, Chris and Colten almost forgot about what they wanted to talk about. Jake was just so cute.

"So, what did you want to talk about" Jake busted their bubble of 'Cute Jake World' bringing out the real issue they almost forgot.

"Ah, about that" Chris started, scratching his hair. "Actually, we wanted to talk to you about a mission" Colten said. Jake turned to look at him with a confused look, his head crooked to the side.

'So cute' both Chris and Colten thought and Colten continued,

"I'll be going on"
