Aries P.O.V
I had to admit that I was honestly shocked that Mariette got into the SUV with us. I knew that we were taking a big risk in doing this. I knew that there was a chance that she would give us the boot for tracking her down to her school and trying to convince her to skip the rest of the day and hang out with us. I couldn't stop myself from glancing back in the rear view mirror. Her beauty completely had me hypnotised. There was something about her, something so rare ... almost like a sort of gemstone. She reminded me so much of my mother. Maybe that was the reason why I felt so comfortable around her, she was the spitting image of my mother when it came to her personality. I loved rubbing her up the wrong way and seeing her feisty side.
The moment Mariette caught me looking at her in the rear-view mirror, she made a face before giving me the death glare. Her death glare seemed to have been one of her favorite things to give me. I just snickered, causing Allec, who sat next to me, to give me a swat on the arm. I just looked at him, almost going off on him, before I remembered that I had promised my brothers that I would be on my best behavior when it came to Mariette. I just sighed before I gripped the steering wheel a bit harder. I could see my knuckles start to become pale. I was thankful to see the edges of the rollercoasters come to view in the distance. I was thankful that we were close as I was unsure of how long I would still be able to be in this car with her, and not tease her.
I put the car in park as soon as I was satisfied with the parking I had found. I chose to rather park in the shade as I didn't want to get into some kind of inferno the moment we got back to the car, I was sure that Mariette would at least appreciate that. We got out of the car and I could see Mariette scrunching her nose up at something. "What now?" I asked her as she placed her delicate arms on her hips. Mariette just gave me a knowing look before sighing. "If I wanted to walk the marathon all the way to the theme park, and actually still be in time to enjoy the rides, I would have started walking at 08:00 a.m. this morning!" Mariette said with a hint of sarcasm.
I had to bite down on my bottom lip so hard that I could taste the metal of my own blood running across my tongue. "Behave!" I heard both Allec and Alex's voices in my head. I just rolled my eyes at Mariette before leading the way to the theme park. "Well, at least I fucking tried doing something that would benefit you in the future!" I mumbled under my breath as I tried to put a little more distance between Mariette and I.
Allec and Alex walked like her two body guards right next to her. I had to admit that I was feeling a little bit jealous of how well they were getting along, but deep down inside of me I liked the feisty side of Mariette way more than anything else. We walked all the way to the entrance of the theme park and I was thankful that I finally paid for our entrance just to get Mariette to stop snapping snippy comments in my direction.
"So, I take it your voice must be tired by now from all the bitching and moaning to get here, how about we try out a lighter ride for now, just so your voice can recover and build up a little more for when we head on out on the big rides" I said to Mariette with a smirk, earning me three different death glares. One from Mariette, one from Allec and one from Alex. I just laughed as I walked over to one of the smaller rollercoasters. I was happy to see that there wasn't a line so we could easily get on the ride. As luck would have it for Mariette, she got seated right next to me with Allec and Alex sitting right behind us. "Sorry to see you are stuck with me" I said with a smirk as the ride operator pulled the metal bar down that was supposed to hold us in place.
I felt the sparks shoot up my entire body as her leg rested against mine. It made everything inside of me go wild. Even, Roan, my wolf was going crazy inside my head, chanting 'mate' over and over again. Mariette just gave me a look. "Well, let's hope there is a malfunction on the ride causing me to fall out. Hopefully, it would put me out of my misery!" Mariette sneered back at me. Damn ... this woman would be the death of me. "Don't worry ... being that you are a vampire, I am sure that you will live. After all... the lot of you have what ... like 1000 lives?" I said, smirking at the look on her face.
She clearly didn't expect us to already know that she was a vampire, and by the look of things, she was still clearly trying to figure out what species we were. "Let's rather enjoy the ride and try to get to the next one before the two of you manage to kill each other. After all... only one of you two are mortal, so I guess it would ruin the day if we head on home minus one" Allec quickly said as the ride started to pull away. We weren't going that fast, but I couldn't help but glance over at Mariette the whole time. Seeing that cute smile on her face and her dimples, goddess ... she would be able to break me within seconds apart. We were just about to go over the last loop before the ride suddenly stopped, leaving us hanging upside down.
"Fucking hell" the four of us managed to utter simultaneously.
Mariette P.O.V:"Just stay calm, Mariette! I am sure they will likely get us out of here in no time!" Aries said to me. I just looked over at him, feeling the faint headache that was on its way from hanging upside down for 5 minutes already. I just squinted my eyes at him. "You know ... I really am not freaking out at the moment ... right?" I said to Aries. I couldn't help but not want to laugh at his face. His face was all red with the blood that was gushing to his brain. "I think you should rather be the one who needs to stay calm! Looks like your face is undergoing some ... discoloration, I think?" I mocked him. I could see him narrowing his eyes at me before shaking his head and looking the other way.It felt like forever until the maintenance team finally managed to get us back down to the ground. It looked like the triplets had been turned inside out and rushed through the washing machine. "How ... on ... earth ... are you managing to still be able to stand up straight?" Allec a
Mariette P.O.V:"How on earth could you have just gotten into the car with three strangers? Mariette! I thought your mother and I had done a better job at raising you. You are not to talk to strangers! Humans are understandable! But ... but werewolves! You have got to be kidding me!! Zenia!" my father ranted on before calling my mother. I knew that he was unhappy, but at least his little tiff managed to give me some sort of answer to my questions I needed to have.My mother came storming into my room and heaved a sigh of relief as soon as her eyes landed on me. She looked me up and down to see that I was still in one piece. "What is it? Roan?" my mother asked my father. She clearly managed to pick up on the foul mood that my father was in. "You deal with this! I seriously can't handle what had just happened!" my father dramatically shouted. I just hung my head in defeat before looking out of the window, trying to keep my tears at bay. I sighed as my mother and father started to argue.
Allec P.O.VI couldn't even start to imagine what had happened back at Mariette's house. Her father did look a bit familiar to me but I had no idea where to place him. Poor Alex struggled with his back the whole night long. I suggested that he rather go to the pack hospital to have it checked out. We haven't had an encounter with a vampire in such a long time and Mariette's father had managed to throw Alex with quite some force."How are you feeling now, hmmm, love?" Rikka said to Alex. I almost threw up right there in my mouth by her actions and I was a little pissed off with Alex for not breaking things off with her ever since we met Mariette. I would have thought that the fact that he eventually met his mate about a year after we have come of age, he would be crazy for her, but clearly, he was keen to still keep Rikka around. She placed a cup of coffee right next to his bed as she got some cream and who knows what else to rub on Alex's back. "Allec,
Mariette P.O.V"Momma, can I ask you something?" I asked my mother as she still cradled me close to her chest and allowed me to let out all of my tears freely. "Sure you can, honey, what's going on in that little mind of yours?" my mother asked. I pulled a bit away from her, needing to sit up straight for a bit. I could feel a head ache start to arise from all the crying. I never even thought that I would have so many tears coming out of me."Why ... just please tell me why you and father don't want me to see the triplets again? What happened that was so bad? I just want to understand?" I said as I felt the tears start to rise up in my eyes again. I hated all of the secrecy that was going on. I knew deep down inside of me that there was more to this story than what my parents had let onto. My mother just sighed as she stood up and walked out of my room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I just sighed as I pulled one of my pillows closer and pulled it
Mariette P.O.V I was still in so much shock by what my parents had told me. I was sitting on the balcony, overlooking the forest. I couldn't believe that it was true. The triplets seemed to be so gentle like it didn't even seem that they would be able to hurt a fly or something like that. I sighed as I stared deep into the forest, completely lost in thought. I knew that somewhere in that forest, the triplets were going about doing their thing. I couldn't understand that they could have been that vicious. They killed without reason and without having any mercy on my grandparents. I curled my legs up to my chest and rested my chin on them. I couldn't believe I managed to fall so hard and so quickly for them, without knowing how deadly they were. Before long, I felt the rays of the s
Mariette P.O.VI was born and raised like the normal vampire typically would. My parents raised me to know that we were the only supernaturals in the world. Werewolves, warlocks, and witches were just fairytales and the humans were the bad guys in the real world. That is what my world has been about, until about six months ago. Now ... now my knowledge of the world out there is completely unknown. Let me take you back.My name is Mariette Dermusk. If you haven't already noticed what I am. I am a vampire. A complete fool to believe everything my parents tell me. I was always raised to be the best in everything that came my way. I was always best in class when it came to my school work, I was always best in class during sports and I was always a daddy's girl, a "Goody two shoes" as my cousins would refer to. Whatever, they were just jealous since I beat them at literally everything.I was a good seventeen and eleven months old, and I would turn eighteen years old soon. Usually, at the a
Mariette P.O.VI was staring at Mrs. Kristen busy explaining some or other equations about trigonometry, but I couldn't stop my mind from drifting to those three I saw this morning. I struggled to place their scents. They weren't vampires, nor were they humans. I felt incredibly confused and most of all, I couldn't understand how three men could look so damn fine! I just sighed as I looked down at my page. I noticed that I unknowingly wrote down his name. I wrote down Aries in my book."Mariette, what is x?" Mrs. Kristen asked me, quickly snapping me out of my sinful thoughts. I quickly tried to scan through all of the contents that she had written on the board, trying to figure out where the hell we were in the sum. I knew that there were two other unknown values that we still needed to get. "I, uhhh, well ... x is ..." I started off. All of the other kids in the class turned around and stared at me. I saw some of them snicker and I knew that I was done for and this was most likely t
Mariette P.O.V:This couldn't be real, there is no way in hell that this could be real?! How on earth are they like ... like ... like EVERYWHERE?! Everywhere I go, I manage to run into them. At least I know now that I wasn't crazy when I met them in the coffee shop and that, indeed, they were triplets. Were they stalking me or something? The four of us just had a stare down. My hands started to feel all clammy and I could feel everything inside of me was starting to melt away as I stared back into those blue orbs. The one in the front just looked on at me with so much emotion in his face. Only when I blinked a few times and allowed reality to come back to me, I realized they were standing there in just short and running shoes, no shirt on those abs ... those abs!!I turned around in order for me to try and gain the upper hand in this situation and to keep my knees shut. "Don't the three of you own shirts?!" I managed to say, even though I wasn't regretting the image of them standing t

Aries P.O.VI had to admit that I was honestly shocked that Mariette got into the SUV with us. I knew that we were taking a big risk in doing this. I knew that there was a chance that she would give us the boot for tracking her down to her school and trying to convince her to skip the rest of the day and hang out with us. I couldn't stop myself from glancing back in the rear view mirror. Her beauty completely had me hypnotised. There was something about her, something so rare ... almost like a sort of gemstone.

Mariette P.O.VFull lips ... three sets of lips committing each and every inch of my body to memory ... making it impossible for me to think clearly, making me feel things I never really knew were possible. How on earth could they even make me feel like this? "What's keeping that beautiful little mind of yours occupied, hmmm?" he asked, his voice husky and rough as he kissed my neck, blowing small breaths across my ear.Their small actions they did. Every touch they made to my body, sent goosebumps all over. I couldn't understand how they were getting this right. They were making me feel things I have never felt before. I looked up into his icy blue eyes, getting lost in them, loosing all my sense of reality and rationality as the words started to struggle to leave my mouth. They made sure that I was completely rendered speechless, unable to even utter a word from my mouth.Soon, the other one started to suck and nibble on an 'oh so sweet' spot on my neck, making me gasp for air as my
Mariette P.O.VI walked into the house, still completely pissed off by what just happened in the forest. I had so many questions running through my head that still remained completely unanswered to me. I didn't know what to think of the entire situation. I only knew two things that were certain to me - The three of them weren't humans, and nor were they vampires. If they were vampires, I would have picked up on it immediately, and they didn't have the same scent that humans had. So, the question still remained to me, what species were they?I ran up to my room to quickly take a shower before I had to head on out to school. I knew that if I didn't hurry, I would likely miss breakfast and hell have mercy on me if I missed breakfast. The rule in the house was always that if I missed breakfast, I would most definitely not be able to take lunch to school. No breakfast always meant no lunch. Apparently, that was some sort of way for my father to discipline m
Mariette P.O.V:I just stood there ... my back facing the three of them. I couldn't even start to imagine what to do. Nothing in my entire life could have prepared me for all of this. I was a complete stranger when it came to these things. Yes ... my mother always loved to tell me about how my future destined should treat me and of how the destined bond would work, but I had never in a million years imagined that I would have three destineds. "You know ... you can really turn around. We won't bite ... I promise! Unfortunately, we live quite far away so the request for getting some shirts on would be a bit impossible ..." I heard one of them say.Obviously, they would say something like that! I spun around on my heels and just looked at them. I narrowed my eyes at the one in front and I instantly knew that if it was that all of this would have to develop into a bond, he would be the one that I would manage to bud heads with the most. I sighed and placed both of my hands on my hips. "So
