LOGINROSAELIE“Fucking leave now.”I shooed them out of the bathroom while pulling the towel tighter around me. My face was still flushed from what had just happened, and I certainly didn’t need four men–who’d already turned my mind upside down–standing there as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.Elias just shrugged and handed me a small bottle.“What the hell is this?”“Well, heat suppressants. But it seems you’d rather have us.”An annoying smile appeared on his face.I immediately threw the small towel at him before snatching the bottle.“Shut up!” I slammed the door shut right in his face.I stood there for a few seconds, leaning against the door. My heart was still racing. I stared at the bottle in my hand, then unscrewed the cap and took one pill.After swallowing it, I sat on the floor with my back against the door.I was really in big trouble. I couldn’t get rid of them.Worse yet, a small part of me didn’t even want them to leave.That thought made me shake my head imm
ROSAELIEMy heat returned, and this time, their presence only added fuel to the fire already raging inside me.Without realizing it, my hand reached for the collar of Xavier’s shirt, pulling him closer. The distance between us, which had once felt too close, now felt far from enough. “You’re playing with fire, Sweetie,” he whispered, yet his eyes betrayed an unmistakable satisfaction. My breathing was uncontrolled. It felt like I was being chased by something until I was gasping for air.Before I realized what was happening, Xavier had already lifted me effortlessly. He carried me out onto the balcony of my apartment; the cool night air brushed against my flushed face. “What are you doing?” I murmured, but my voice came out hoarse and full of longing.“Showing you what you’re missing,” Elias replied from behind, his hands sliding down my waist. I could see the city lights twinkling in the distance, aware that anyone could see us if they looked up. Fear and passion mingled, cre
ROSAELIEI let out a long sigh, staring at the four men in front of me with mixed feelings.“You guys are only thinking with your dicks!”The room fell instantly silent.They all looked as if they’d just been slapped in the face by a reality they didn’t want to hear. I would’ve almost laughed at myself if the situation hadn’t been so chaotic. How could they be so nonchalant after ruining my life, claiming to be my mates, and then acting as if everything would be just fine?All four of them sighed.Elias, who had just walked in carrying a box of pastries, raised both eyebrows.“What’s going on here?” he asked.I glared at him.“Nothing. It’s just the mess you’ve created. I don’t care. You guys have to figure it out, and just fucking reject me. I can’t be with you!”Lucien immediately furrowed his brow. He raised his hand and tapped his own forehead in frustration.“God. Why are you so difficult and stubborn?”I rolled my eyes. “Except for sex, have you even fucking known me?”My ques
ROSAELIEI woke up with a heavy head.The first thing I saw was the familiar ceiling of my room. The second thing took my breath away.Lucien, Xavier, and Rowan were standing around the bed.They were all awake. And they were all looking at me, smiling.I fell silent immediately. My body went stiff as memories of the previous night slowly came back. Their confession. Three years of lies. A mate bond I’d never felt with Asher. Then the mark on my neck… My hand moved unconsciously toward my neck.My fingers touched the skin, which still felt a little sensitive.I wasn’t mistaken. I really had been marked… As their mate.My chest felt tight. This was wrong. Everything was wrong.I shouldn’t have been here when morning came. I shouldn’t have woken up between them with a mark that would change my entire life.“Already so awake? Rest a bit. You need it after yesterday.” Xavier chuckled.My face flushed instantly. I pushed him away and pulled the blanket higher, trying to create a little
ELIASI can’t sleep. Even though my body feels exhausted, my mind keeps racing. My gaze falls on Rae, who’s now asleep on the bed, her breathing steady after everything that happened tonight drained her energy. Her face looks much calmer than it did a few hours ago when we made love and marked her.I watch her in silence. She looked beautiful. Always. And it always made me adore her so much.To be honest, I never imagined any of this would happen like this.I’d imagined countless times what it would feel like to finally have my own mate mark. I’d imagined a much more perfect moment–perhaps after she’d fully accepted us, after we’d held a mating ceremony, and everyone knew that Rae belonged to us.But circumstances ended up taking us in a different direction.Even so, I couldn’t deny the happiness that welled up when I realized I’d finally marked him.Rae truly became my mate. Our mate.I smiled faintly and leaned down to gently kiss her forehead. My heart felt warm as I looked at h
ROSAELIE“Let us mark you, okay?”Lucien’s words hung in the air, but they felt like they hit me harder than a scream. For a few seconds, I couldn’t even breathe. My eyes locked on his without blinking, trying to find the slightest hint of doubt in his gaze.And he looked so certain.As if that decision had been made long before I even knew he existed.I shook my head slowly. “No…”The sound came out so softly it was barely audible.I stepped back, but my back hit the wall again. The heat inside my body was intensifying. My skin felt hypersensitive, my breath was shallow, and my heart was racing beyond my control. I hated this situation. I hated the fact that my body seemed to have a mind of its own just when I was trying to hold onto my sanity.“Don’t…”I tried to push away the hands reaching for me.But they didn’t back off.And even though I refused to be touched, it was as if I were letting them strip me, undressing me with impatient urgency. Tears began to fall because of m
