2. Three mates?

Ruby

How is this even possible, how? I didn't want a mate, not ever, but not now. How can I have three, it's so absurd. I run away from the three men as fast as my legs can carry me. I can feel them behind me, their scents doesn't leave my nostrils.

It doesn't take much time, the trio catches up with me. It’s like they took no effort to run after me. I stand rooted on the ground gathering courage.

"What do you want from me?" I ask rage boiling up inside me.

"You" They say in unison throwing daggers at each other. What’s this goddess, why am I the one in the middle of all this.

"Leave me alone alright." I speak. But who am I kidding, the pull I am experiencing is so intense. By having them just inches away from me just made me want to pounce on them.

I start walking backwards away from them, I didn't know how to react at that moment.

"Please don't run away from me, I am your mate." One of them speaks. I suddenly hear a growl.

"She is mine." One of them lunges forward. I duck, hiding my face from all of them.

"Stop it boys." I hear my friend’s voice which makes me sigh in relief. “Please can’t you see you are scaring her?” she adds coming to my side and embracing me tightly.

"Who are you to interfere?"One of them speaks.

"Don't speak to me that way, she is my best friend and if you don't treat her well then I am taking her away from here." She bluffs. I know her pretty well, but her words seem to have yielded some results because the trio keeps quiet and quietly looks at us. They look like little puppies waiting to be fed. So adorable, how am I ever going to reject them.

What am I even thinking right now!!

"Okay now introduce yourselves." She commands, I can see a sly smile playing on her lips, she has always been so mischievous.

"My name is Damien Jaxon." He says stretching his hand politely his blue eyes not leaving mine. I get lost in them, he is gorgeous, tall with medium sized body. He seems so polite and respectful. His handshake is brief but the sparks it leaves on my body is immeasurable, I just want him to linger there for a while.

"Rowan Colton, King of the vampires at your service my queen." He bows with a wide green on his face. Isn't he just on another level, he has this cold vibe that makes my knees grow weak. He takes my hand in his and kisses my knuckles softly making me moan.

Get a room! My mind yells at me.

I feel like time has stopped when the third one starts walking up to me in full confidence with a smirk on his face. He is a god. His long curly hair is flying freely as the wind blows, he shakes his head sexily to remove the strands that are resting on his perfectly shaped face. His small mouth opens up to say something but I don't seem to hear. My mouth is wide open, he has this dark aura that radiates around him. He licks his lower lip and winks at me.

Someone please wake me up!

By now I am dripping wet. I am sure they can smell my arousal from where they are standing. I don't want to embarrass myself, so I walk backwards oblivious of where I am stepping. I lose my step but before I can touch the ground, I land on strong arms, wild fruit scent washes over me, I close my eyes to just take it in.

"Open your eyes beautiful." His deep husky voice which is commanding and sexy at the same time, makes me open my eyes. I am met by the most beautiful ruby-eyes just like my name.

I find myself smiling. He pulls me back up slowly and steady. We stand there looking at each other’s eyes, his one hand on my waist and the other holding my arm. I feel like tearing off his shirt and just rummaging his body.

"Naughty!!" He says in a deep husky voice that makes me shiver in excitement. Is he listening to my thoughts? He nods confirming it. I blush looking away from him shyly. I have never had such dirty thoughts before this.

"Hey it’s enough let her go." I hear Rowan saying, weirdly I have already mastered their voices. So strange, since it’s one of my weaknesses.

"I am Owen by the way, you didn't hear me earlier." He says with a mischievous smile on his face before letting me go with a satisfied look on his face.

I feel so cold all of a sudden, I want more. I want to feel their hands on each part of my body, caressing, licking and even biting.

What's wrong with me? I widen my eyes when Owen chuckles.

“Nice meeting you all.” I say looking at Owen. “I am Ruby.” I manage to introduce myself turning away I look at Zama with pleading eyes.

"Take me home Zama please." I beg her with a mere whisper. Without a word she takes my hand and guides me to where the jeep is. I feel disappointed when the scents of my three men start fading as we take off. Are they not following me?

I feel like I have left part of myself behind, all of a sudden I don't feel whole.

I didn't know I could feel this way after meeting my mate. Oops! I mean mates. I always wondered what the fuss was about, but I cannot get a hold of myself right now, my p***y is dripping wet something that has never happened to me before. I take back my words of not wanting my mate.

But why three though?

"my friend would you want me to stay with you?" Zama asks as she tucks me in bed, covering me up.

"I am confused Zama, how can I have three?" I ask more to myself.

"I know Ruby, I don't really know what to say to you my friend. I know this isn't your staff. I would have been happy though if it were me." She says in a serious tone.

"Really? I don't know what I am feeling right now. I don't even know how to react." I say.

"You just have to accept them Ruby, after all it's your fate."

"What? no way. let me be Zama, I need to be alone now." I say turning to face the wall. She stands there for a while before sighing heavily and leaving my room.

"Be safe though." She adds on her way out. I can sense the bitterness in her tone. I know I have treated her rudely, but I need some alone time now.
