When I wake up, I can hear Cain and Asheron discussing something and I get tense for a second before realizing they're not fighting, they're talking about the council. Something boring. "Are you finally awake? We're starving," Cain says and he moves my shoulder. Ash slaps his hand."Let her sleep," he growls, but I am already awake, so I lift my head of the pillow, "Hey, love, you feel better?""Slightly," I admit, "Do you have a bathtub here, Ash? I need a warm bubble bath, my body is begging for one.”"Yeah, in my room. I’ll get it ready for you," he says. Cain opens his mouth, probably about to complain about his hunger one more time, but Asheron lifts a hand to shut him up before he even speaks, "How about you take a bubble bath while we go out to buy some brunch?""That sounds lovely," I say and I take a naughty look as he gets out of bed expecting him to be fully naked, but he’s wearing back briefs that hug his cute tush perfectly. I look at the scars on his body, but this tim
He walks us into his bathroom and I almost moan when I see his big bathtub. I think we could all fit in here, all three of us, but Cain makes himself at home and walks into the shower like he owns it. Asheron grabs my hand and he helps me get into the bath.I inhale the familiar vanilla-coconut scent and smile. "You like vanilla-coconut bubble baths, Ash? I thought you only bought them for me," I say in a teasing tone as I lower into the perfectly tempered water. Of course Ash would never let me get into a too hot or too cold bath. I sigh in relief and then look up at him as he sits at the edge of the bathtub."Adam still buys my groceries with the same old list, so yeah, they're still for you," he murmurs almost absentmindedly. I have to lower myself to hide my stupid smile in the bubbles, "It feels nice? You feel better?""Yeah, I'm already more relaxed," I say but before I can say anything else, the glass door of the shower opens again and we both look that way. Cain is still bu
When we get back home with the food, there's a man sitting in my couch next to Georgie and all my hairs stand immediately, but I have enough brain to know whatever I'm feeling, Cain is feeling too... only about a hundred times worse. I lift my arm automatically, at the same time he bulldozes forward, so I'm able to stop him."Another one?! Who the fuck is this?!" he growls, looking at Georgie in disbelief, but my head isn't as hot as Cain's and I can see this guy is some kind of doctor. A young, attractive one, which is fucking annoying, but a doctor. And I think I've seen him before. "I'm Harrison Yam, Prince Cain. Her gynecologist," the guy says and stands up. Now it makes sense, Georgie has seen this doctor a few times, I even went to his office with her one time. Cain wants to keep going, but I shut him up with a look, "I'm a professional… and gay, if that helps. So you can both relax.""Gay my ass," Cain spits out, but he stops trying to run to him, "Why would you decide to be
"Are you really still hungry?" I let out when he goes to grab another fucking breakfast sandwich. Cain stops midway to give me a weird look, then he grabs it, "I mean, you ate the whole lasagna yesterday, one would think you're not that hungry today.""That was a lot of hours ago. And Georgie ate it too, don't just blame me," he complains and keeps eating for another five minutes before finally pushing his pate away, "Yum.""Okay, so can we talk now?" Georgie asks, just as anxious as me. I nod and take a deep breath, trying to find the right words. I've been thinking non-stop about this, the whole night and the whole morning, while they were both sleeping. "Okay, before I start, I need to preface this by saying... Cain," I look pointedly at him, he immediately rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, waiting for the worst, "Georgie loves you, she wants you just as much as she wants me, that's why we're in this position and we went through that shit break-up. She never chose me over you,
"Okay, so... sure, you've thought of everyone and everything outside of us," Cain finally says, making me nervous because I can’t recognize his tone. Cain is the biggest wild card here. I already know Georgie loves this, but Cain could react in any way, "But what about us? Like, you need to be clear. Is she going to be my girlfriend, but your wife someday? Marriage is a big deal and she can only marry one of us. I already know it's going to be you... also, kids? like, if you really mean forever, that kind of shit is important.""No, it's not just 'going to be me' every time, Cain," I complain, "We're starting from scratch here. It's not me and Georgie adding you to our relationship. Our relationship died when she thought I died."Georgie makes a chocked sound. "We're going to start anew as a three-way couple and we both matter to her just as much," I say, "And no, she won't be 'my wife, your girlfriend' she's our fated mate. There's no other tittle that matters more than that one. Ma
"Why are you taking so long to answer?" Cain frowns, "It's not that difficult to say yes or no. It's not like it's a big deal.""So you think is not a big deal? To have me as your boyfriend? Forever?” I ask, “That doesn’t sound strange to you? I know you’re open-minded, but… do you even like me?”“I don’t know,” he says, crossing his arms and looking away.“Cain,” Georgie says in a warning tone, “Just be honest.”She totally thinks he’s in love with me. Just like Justin. Cain looks at her with narrowed eyes and I realize I have to be the one to set things straight before they end up fighting again. Cain doesn’t know how to be in a relationship. Not even with Georgie, whom he deeply loves; he still treats her as if she’s just his best friend most of the time. Cain has no idea how to deal with his feelings. However, I also think he already likes me and that’s why he’s getting defensive like this. “Okay, I’ll tell you how I feel about you, but you have to say something after me,” I s
A few seconds later, Cain is still avoiding our eyes and the conversation. “Who decorated this place? It lacks personality,” he mutters, making me close my eyes and take a deep breath. "I did," Ash answers, looking at Cain with a smile, as if he finds him amusing, "So, getting back to the topic...""I don't hate you either," he says, returning to the topic all by himself, thankfully, "You're okay.""Cain," I growl, but Ash squeezes my hand to stop me, "No, I don’t want to leave this hanging. Cain, I know it's hard for you to talk about feelings, but it's necessary. We have to be...""A ball, I got it," Cain says and laughs, "I'll be a ball with you guys, don't worry.""Do you understand that I love you the same way I love Asheron? Do you understand he’s saying he cares about you?” I push. Cain nods, but I can see he doesn't fully believe it. I close my eyes and sigh, "No, this is never going to work. Forget it.”"Georgie," Cain says when I try to get up from the table, looking at me
{Georgette}When I first receive the news about my fated mate’s death, my brain doesn't seem to process the information correctly. I know that because the first thing I do is smile politely."Okay," I reply without letting my smile fade. My father approaches me and I allow him to hug my shoulders, but my brain is still working a million miles per second trying to understand, "W-what happened?""Asheron was at the front of the fight with the Sebdio Pack," the representative informs me, his voice pained and his eyes sad, just like his scent, "He died in battle."Asheron died.Asheron, the Alpha of the Blues pack, my fated mate, is dead. He died in battle, even though one day he promised me that would never, ever happen. I should have known he had no way of promising me something like that, but I was too young and foolish.I believed him."Thank you very much for coming to the palace to deliver the bad news, Aaron," my father responds, "Please convey our sincerest condolences to the Blu
