All Chapters of Mated To Four: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ALEJANDRA.When I wake up on Sunday morning, Puma is lying beside me with an arm thrown over my stomach. It’s just the two of us—Forrest, I’m guessing, already got up. I inch over, and grab my phone from the nightstand. I’m not ready to get up yet, but I also don’t want to go back to sleep. When I scoot closer to Puma, he moves his hand. Right on top of my boob.Well…He’s still asleep. I don’t think he meant to grab my boob, so I can’t be mad. As I’m trying to decide how I feel about his hand being there, my phone vibrates, distracting me.It’s a text from Dahlia.I unlock my phone to see the text and realize it’s a picture of Adeline.Adeline is wearing the onesie that I got special made for her. It’s says ‘Aunt Alejandra is my favorite.’ She’s also wearing a pink pink bow that covers her mostly bald head and her eyes are so blue.She’s beautiful.I begin to cry because I realize what I am missing out on right now. I should be there, holding Adeline. I should be helping chan

ALEJANDRA.I’m feeling a little down after meeting with Robert, but I try not to let what he said get to me. It’s hard not to take what he said personally, but I know he only said what he did out of his own pain. He’s hurting over the death of my mom. Instead of letting people in, he pushes them away.So… I put all thoughts of him aside. It’s not worth dominating my thoughts or ruining my mood. Instead, I focus on all the good things. Like my mates. Phoenix sits on one side of me during class and Desmond on the other. Puma looks back at me and grins, like he knows I’m thinking about him—which he probably does—and Forrest plays with my hair at my back. It’s impossible to be sad around my mates, which is probably exactly what they want.They distract me in the best possible way.The other kids at school are acting weird today, though. They’re all staring at me and I can hear them whisper things. Even in class when we’re supposed to be doing our work, they’re talking about me. And ei

ALEJANDRA.Traveling through the jungle on the back of an ATV is not how I imagined my trip would end. Though, I guess it’s not over.I am riding on the back of an ATV with Puma driving. I hug onto him tightly, per his request.The jungle is absolutely gorgeous. Huge trees, thick greenery, colorful birds. There are even some unique animals that I’ve never seen before, probably some that want to eat me, but I try not to think of that.I don’t know how long I’m on the back of that ATV, but by the time we stop my butt in numb from sitting on the seat so long. My legs are wobbly when I get off. Phoenix grabs my arm to keep me from stumbling.“Where are we?” I look around.We’ve stopped in what appears to be the middle of the jungle. Any city that we’ve seen is long gone and I haven’t seen any other person around. No houses, nothing. But then I see it. It’s blurry, but there is… something.I grab Phoenix’s hand and step forward, walking through what I can only describe as a force

ALEJANDRA.Roshan invites me to a barbecue. Apparently they’re grilling food for me and we’re going to eat a ton, listen to music, and dance. I’m exhausted from the long plane ride, but everybody is so excited to see me and hang out with me. And I feel bad, so I go, even though I don’t know if I will be able to stay awake for it all.Roshan even brings me a dress that one of the ladies made for me. I have no idea how she made it so quickly, but it’s cute and I think it’s sweet that somebody made me a dress. Nobody has ever done anything like that for me before.As I’m getting ready for the cookout, a couple of girls stop by and offer to fix my hair. They appear to be around my age, but I know looks can be deceiving. Fairies age slowly. I also don’t want to ask them their age because that seems rude. Though, maybe that’s just a human thing.The girls braid my black hair. Or… they’re similar to braids, but also kind of not. All I know is that my hair looks gorgeous and I kind of look

ALEJANDRA.I end up falling asleep in bed with Phoenix. I know I should’ve went back in the room with Forrest and Puma, but I couldn’t bring myself to after what I did with Phoenix. I wanted to stay with him and cuddle with him. And somehow, we ended up having sex two more times throughout the night.I imagined I would be sore and hurting, but I’m not. It must be due to my supernatural healing, because I remember Katherine talking about how much it hurt the next day.I end up sleeping in later than I’d planned. It’s after nine o’clock when I look at the clock on the nightstand. Phoenix is still asleep, so I kiss him on the cheek and get out of bed, careful not to wake him. I go into my own room so I can take a quick shower.Puma and Forrest aren’t in my bed anymore. I wonder if they’re awake or if they went to their own beds in the middle of the night sometime. I also wonder if they know what Phoenix and I did. I mean… I wasn’t exactly quiet, but they were asleep. I think.Oh gosh
