ACE

“How come both of our dads are dicks that attacked April, and yours is completely fine with your involvement with her?” Xander asked Nick as we started towards our cars to leave.

Nick paused, turning his head this way and that like he was truly trying to figure it out.

“It’s probably because he doesn’t have his head up his ass like the rest of your dads,” he answered, holding back laughter.

Xander and I burst out laughing on his behalf and he joined in. We were still laughing our asses off when I noticed that Xenia was standing closeby and watching us under a hawk like gaze.

And after a few moments went by, she started to approach us and I could see questions swirling in her eyes until she stopped a few inches from me.

Our laughter died down as Xander and Nick also registered her presence, but she didn’t speak despite being the odd one that newly joined the conversation circle.

She just watched us like we were under a telescope, like research subjects.

    APRILIt was a long ass list, but a necessary good.I’d been at it all morning, but I was nowhere near done. Out of excitement, I’d decided to write an alphabetical list of dates that I and they guys could go on, and I had over thirty ideas penned down already and I hadn’t gotten through quarter of the alphabets. I wasn’t complaining though, I’d enjoyed how our last date turned out a little too much and I was eager for more of it. It was such a simple dinner, but it had meant the world to me because it marked my first romantic date with them. Just thinking back to it made my heart swoon, especially because of how it’d turned out. My inner thighs and core were still tingling with glee as an after effect, and I found myself longing for more of their tou—The sound of my alarm ringing out loudly washed away those dirty thoughts before they could wreck any more havoc on my poor hormones.“Lunch at Ace’s” the alarm tag read. We’d decided to have lunch at Ace’s place together, I didn’t h

    APRIL We headed into the house because I started to whine about being hungry. Imagine the horror on my face when I walked past the living room and saw an empty dining table where there should’ve been food. “Is this a Joke, Ace? Because you’ll be my lunch soon if the answer’s no,” I practically growled at him. All three men burst out laughing. “I’d like a front row seat to that show, please?” Xander, who was laughing the loudest, proposed, but with one sharp threatening glare from me, he immediately wiped the amusement off his face.Nick, of course, was still stifling laughter and he was doing a really bad job of it. “Cool your horses sweetheart, it’s upstairs, not here,” Ace smiled before taking my hand and starting to lead me upstairs. When we were halfway up, I started to perceive the sweet scent of deliciously mouthwatering food, so I got less and less “hangry” until we reached the top of the stairs and Ace opened the third door on the right. “Ugh, heaven!” I exclaimed exci

    APRILMy toes curled underneath me when I felt hands teasing the zip behind my jumpsuit. Xander’s hands were in my hair as he kissed me silly, so I knew those weren’t his hands. They had to belong to Ace or Nick. It didn’t matter who it was though, their touch was equally electrifying and completely unraveling.“Every inch of you looks and feels absolutely perfect,” the words were engraved in a corner of my heart as soon as they left Ace’s lips. It turns out he was the one behind me afterall.“Mind scooching? I’d like to reward her specially for being such a willing party to be mated to us,” I heard Nick say and then Xander broke the kiss. Not for long though, he stood at my side, used two fingers to hook my jaw and turned it towards himself before rejoining our lips in a kiss full of frenzy and a beautifully burning passion. Then, I felt Nick drop to his knees before me and push my legs apart to accommodate him. My core throbbed at the thought of whatever he had in mind, especia

    BROOKE The earth might still be spinning around its orbit for others, but for me, it stopped on the day Ace conquered the love spell. Even after contracting one of the most powerful witches in existence, his unexplainable and disgusting obsession with April still prevailed and allowed him outgrow the love spell. From speculations, I gathered that no one had ever fought past a spell done by the almighty Sage, so I was confident that Ace would remain obsessed with doing my bidding for the rest of our lives. So, imagine my utter horror and disappointment when he barged into my mother’s house a few days ago to denounce me and everything that concerned me. It felt like the last hope I had was ripped harshly away from me and I was left with a cold and aching hollow in my chest.Especially because my mother didn’t waste a second to rain all sorts of hell down on me as soon as Ace departed.She looked me dead in the eye and tagged me the biggest mistake of her life, claiming that if she

    BROOKE My ex-fiancé was in the premises.I forced myself to swallow the dumpling in my mouth and my stomach felt hollow and painfully tight as I slowly turned around to get visual confirmation of my suspicions. Indeed, it was him. And as though his presence wasn’t ruining my appetite enough, I spotted my replacement beaming right beside him. Seeing her hold his hand as they walked into the restaurant made me so fucking nauseous and I was on the verge of exploding into a pile of jealousy where I sat. Ace being at her side was already enraging enough, but the fact that she also had his best friends wrapped around her little deceitful finger somehow managed to make me feel even worse. Xander and Nick were walking behind her and Ace and they all looked dressed up for a date. It made me green with envy that she was able to whip up not just one, but all three of the most powerful heirs in the country. What was so special about a human tramp that made them so eager to kiss her feet? W

    NICK“Do we have to go?” Xander groaned, pouting childishly as Ace drove into the gates of Enigma. April rolled her eyes at him, smiling, “for the millionth time, Xander Davenport, you have to attend the mandatory meeting your fathers set up.” “Frankly, I’d rather not,” Ace shrugged as he turned towards the finance lecture halls, “What I would love to do is drive my friends to the nearest pub and get shitfaced with tequila.” A swat over the head from April made Ace yelp and burst into laughter. “What? I’d rather do that than entertain the assholes that tried to kill you barely a week ago?” he was still laughing, but there wasn’t a shred of amusement attached to it, just suppressed rage. “I don’t want to fucking look at them,” he spat.“Neither do I,” Xander backed him up. “Nor I,” I tagged along. April pressed a palm over her forehead, sighing tiredly as she looked from one of us to the other, then repeated the motion. “We talked about this all morning, guys,” she shut her eye

    NICKOur fathers were seated at a round table, passing a bottle of whiskey amongst themselves in a way that was habitual.From the first glance, I could tell that they’d been seated at that table more times than I could possibly guess. What had they been plotting at every unfortunate meeting? April’s demise? I hoped the fuck not. “You called us here to drink?” Ace spat rudely, breaking the tense silence in the room. Xander, on the other hand, just pulled out a chair and made himself disturbingly comfortable in it, throwing his feet on the table and proudly crossing his legs. I considered myself a hothead, but I was definitely the cooler friend of the three of us, especially when our parents were involved. But after the way they’d treated April, I had no plans to show them even a shred of respect. So, I followed Xander’s lead and made myself as comfortable as I could, enjoying the annoyed looks that spread over our fathers’ faces. “That’s no way to speak or behave in the presence

    APRILThe mating ritual was in a few hours, and I seemed to be the most antsy person about it. Xander, Ace, and Nick seemed to be feeling nothing but excitement. The same emotion they’d been rolling off in waves two days ago when they confirmed that they’d landed a sorceress for the ritual. Believe it or not, finding a sorceress to mate us officially was hectic.First off, their fathers had instructed every sorceress in the country not to attempt mating us or they’d rain hell on them. When I heard of that, I wondered bitterly why they hated our union so desperately when we were clearly in love with each other and having the best time of our lives. I mean, since their meeting with their fathers a few days ago, I learned the reason why they hated me so much, but I still didn’t understand it. Why were they so willing to hang on every word they’d been told by some messenger who conveyed a false prophecy? Why was that enough for them to plot my death without even giving our love a chan

    APRIL “Who’s that?” Ace leaned in and whispered to me.I remained frozen in time, watching her wave at me with a smile as she approached us. While I knew that I couldn’t avoid her forever, I’d expected our next meet up to be filled with hostility instead of the sweet smile I was being given. If I’d known that she’d welcome me so sweetly, I’d have gone in search of her the second I returned to the country. “April! It’s you!” she leapt into my arms, chuckling and tightening her hold around me, “I thought my eyes were fooling me.” A warmth spread over my heart and I found myself smiling as I wrapped my hands around her, happily returning the hug and welcoming the familiar feeling of belonging I always felt with her. “I’ve missed you terribly,” I confessed, refusing to let go off her after what must’ve been minutes or hugging each other. “Uhm, akward third party here,” Ace cleared his throat loudly, reminding us of his presence. Reluctantly, we pulled away from the hug, but I drap

    APRIL “You must’ve been unremarkable, because I remember the people I fuck, and nothing comes to mind when I look at you,” Ace’s voice was steely and cold. I turned around, and from the way one of the blonde girls shielded her face shamefully, I could tell that she was the one that’d been tapping about a threesome with Ace. And clearly, she’d made it all up.“Now fuck off before I make sure you never get into any college in the world,” he spat angrily and the girls immediately scrambled to their feet and ran out. Once the door was shut behind them, his angry demeanor dropped and he was suddenly a ray of sunshine, grinning as he made his way over to me with open arms. “I can handle these mean trolls just fine, Ace. You didn’t have to swoop in on my behalf,” I half-frowned at him. That didn’t stop me from also opening my arms to receive him, I couldn’t say no to hugging him even though I was a bit upset by how he and the other guys kept treating me like a defenseless damsel in dis

    APRILToday would go down in history, a day I would never forget. Why? Because after today, I’d have officially moved in with the loves of my lives and I had no intention of ever living with anyone else but them from today onwards. While I was glad that we’d be moving in later that evening, what I didn’t understand was how the entire college also knew about it. Ever since the mating ritual, everyone in school had found a way to dig their noses into our business because they guys and I arrived at school together almost every single day. Each time we went on a date, there were pictures of it flying around school the next day. It was borderline creepy that there were always people trailing us. I wasn’t spared from mean comments from girls that saw me as the poster girl for whoring, and there was a surprisingly disturbing amount of girls that just kissed my ass and begged for tips on how to bad three men at once. All the gossip and educational blogs for Enigma were carrying one new

    APRIL We stood before the altar, hand in hand. Xenia, the officiating sorceress, was behind the altar, chanting something under her breath as she sprinkled a purple bubbling liquid all over the altar. I sucked in a sharp breath, finally experiencing the burst of excitement that the guys had been radiating for days. Now that it was about to happen, it felt like the most destined occurrence in history, nothing had ever felt as right as this decision to be mated with them. In realizing that, I figured out why I’d been a mess of nerves earlier. It’s because it hadn’t dawned on me that it was real, it had felt too good to be true. But now, as we were preparing to proceed with the ritual, it felt more real than anything ever had.“You’re fucking perfect, your ass looks like a peach in this dress,” Ace whispered to me and I blinked in shock, my cheeks turning red at how nasty he sounded. A sinful bout of heat washed over me and I poked him in the side with my elbow for toying with my e
