"Dad?" Alan swept a strand of hair off Tristan's face. Tristan was lying down with a blanket covering him, his eyes closed.

He opened his eyes when he heard his son's voice. He already knew of his presence but thought Alan would go back if he saw him asleep. But the kid didn't leave, instead, he made himself comfortable.

Alan heard from his daddy that Tristan wasn't feeling well and wasn't in a good mood so he should pay him a visit and use his cute self to improve Tristan's mood. His daddy also told him the reason behind Tristan's worst mood. It was because he wasn't going to get a baby brother or sister from Tristan.

But that was okay. He didn't mind not getting a baby brother or sister from Tristan as long as his dad stayed by his side, that was okay.

"Alan" Tristan whispered, turning to look at he son. His voice sounded sad and tired. "Do you need anything?" Alan asked in a concern tone. Looks like he worried his son.

Tristan smiled, a genuine one and shook his head, "No, I'm okay"

"I see, I'll be here, if you need anything, tell me" Tristan's smiled grew wide at his son's words. He nodded and closed his eyes, feeling the warmth is his son's hand as they slowly and gently caressed his face. It was comforting, it was a good feeling.

"Are you feeling okay Jake?" Colten asked as he took a seat beside his mate who was seated on the bed, leaning against the bedframe. Jake turned and gave him a genuine smile before answering, "I'm okay" Colten felt a warm feeling through his body. Jake's smile always did things to him.

"I'm glad you're okay" Chris said and climbed the bed on Jake's other side. He sat and leaned against the bedframe. Jake slid his head on his shoulder with a smile on his face then he took Colten's hand.

Wanting more of the warm feeling and the connection with his mates. He felt safe, strong, brave and courageous with his mates by his side and he wanted these feelings at the moment. After his talk with Tristan, he has decided to live his life the way he wants (Of course, in an honest way) and won't let the past interfere with his current life.

He has decided to get stronger, so he would not worry his mates anymore and be of help to them too.

'Good decision. Let's get stronger together' his wolf said, and he replied, "Yes, let's get stronger together"

A smile on his face for his wolf.

Seconds later, he called out his mates.

"Chris, Col"

"Yea kid" Chris answered so did Colten. He asked,

"What is it love?"

"I want to know more about you two" Chris and Colten shared a look, "I want to know about your families if possible. I also want to know your last names and how you came to live together" Jake said, looking at the side of Chris's face. He could see something was wrong. Chris didn't look exactly happy to shared his past with him, he had a frown on his face.

Just like when he told them he didn't want to talk about the details on how he was abused, maybe Chris also didn't want to talk about it.

But he wanted to know.

"You see love," Colten said, drawing Jake's attention. Jake raised up his head from Chris's shoulder and turned to look at Colten, "Chris and I, we only have memories of when we were thirteen years, the time we met each other, till now"

"You mean?"

"We both woke up in a mansion where we stayed together for centuries" This time, Chris answered.

"We woke up in the mansion on the same bed, not remembering how we got there or who brought us there. We didn't even know our names. But, there was a note on the nightstand. 'The red hair and eyes is Chris Hunter and the black hair and golden eyes is Colten Clover' and that's how we found out our names" Colten said.

"We had no memories when we woke up and the time we spent together, is the only memories we had" Chris said. Jake looked at his mates, feeling sorry. They didn't even know their parents. They didn't know if they had families or not. But..... 

"Did you try searching for other dragons?" Jake asked, when this question popped into mind, "Yes. But we found none. We also tried finding Chris's family......."

"We found nothing about them either" Chris continued, "I see" silence blew for a while, everyone lost in their own thoughts. Sorting his thoughts out, Jake said, "Then I will be your family" Both Chris and Colten turned to look at him with widened eyes while he looked at them, one after the other with a smile. "I'll try my best to be strong. I won't let the past interfere with my life. I will love you two and do everything to protect you"

Colten took Jake's right hand and Chris took his left hand and with sweet genuine smiles, they answered, "Thank you"

Jake was happy to see the smiles on their faces. It proved they were happy with his words and he wanted nothing more but for them to be happy always.

"You're always welcome my mates" and they sat in silence, enjoying the warmth from each other and thinking about the future with the three of them together. With the three of them together, life will always be filled with happiness, comforting, assurance and fun.

But their bubble blasted when Chris suddenly asked, "Jake, Did you speak with Tristan? Lvan was saying he wasn't feeling well"

"Why? What happened? He was alright when he came to see me" now he was worried. Tristan didn't look troubled or anything when he came to see him. Was he pretending? Come to think of it, Tristan was a good pretender.

Chris explained to Jake about the pills and how it affected Tristan. After hearing everything, Jake immediately left the room to go see Tristan. But before that, he needed to see Rex first. Tristan needed the two of them. He told Chris and Colten.

Now, it was just the two of them. They sat on the bed quietly. Colten knew Chris sent Jake away so they could talk about his decision to go on the recuse mission with Corey and Sebastian. He wasn't saying anything because he wanted Chris to bring it up.

And it didn't take long, "So, you're going on the mission with Corey and Sebastian" yep! He was and nothing would change his mind.

"Yes"

"You should have spoken with us, you know? You have two mates" Chris said in a calm tone with a blank expression. Scaring Colten. He didn't know if the guy was angry or he was just accepting the situation.

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be, because I don't want to hear it" he was definitely angry. "I have to do this Chris"

"I know" Chris said, and the room fell into silence. A few minutes later, Chris said in a calm tone with that blank expression, "Just come back alive, you have mates waiting for you"

Colten turned to look at Chris. He couldn't read him but he smiled, grateful his mate decided to trust him. He nodded and hummed in replied.

"Good"

And then, suddenly, another question popped into mind, why didn't Jake ask for their ages? Did he forget to ask?
