Mia's POV:

“Melanie!” I exclaimed in horror, sitting up. I looked at the rearview mirror just in time to see the driver look at it.

“Is everything okay back there, miss?” He asked.

“Everything is fine. Don't worry,” I told him forcing a smile and then turning to look at Melanie. It couldn't be, right? She didn't like my mate, did she?

She burst into a fit of laughter. “I'm joking! Relax. Don't you know how friends act? It's like saying, I want someone like your mate but not that I want your mate. Does that make sense?” She explained.

“Are you sure?” I asked, warily. With Melanie, I couldn't tell if she was faking the humor or if she had slipped up and told me the truth. I needed to learn to read her better.

“Of course, I am, Mia. It's not that deep, I promise.” She said, holding up her pinky finger.

I sighed. “Okay, I got scared there.”

“You thought I wanted to take away one of your super hot and rich mates?” She asked.

“No, I thought you liked one of my super hot and rich mates and n

    Author's POV:For a moment, Mia didn't know how to react.Jaxon: what are you two on about? You're blowing up my notifications.Mia keenly read his text again and again. What if they disagree on something about her or worse, fight? What would she do then?The three of them were her mates. But they were also separate people. They were bound to disagree. She decided not to worry about that. She would cross that bridge when she got there.A private message entered her phone. Jace: look out your window.Mia looked up from her phone confused and looked outside her window. There, was Jace, waving with a boyish smile on his face.Mia's eyes widened, “Jace!” I called.“Where?” Melanie asked, looking around. She spotted him outside the window and gasped. “He's here. And I look like a sewer rat.”She abandoned the rest of her cereal and ran to her room. Mia dropped her bowl on the table and stood to her feet, going to get the door.“Hey,” Jace said, holding out a bouquet of sunflowers. “These a

    Mia's POV:That was not what I meant. “No, I mean…” I start to say sounding flustered.Jackson laughed, amused by my response. “I know what you mean, Mia. I was just pulling your legs.” He said, he cocked his head just a tiny bit to the left and gave me a charming smile. If I wasn't already his mate, I would have fallen for him.We had the rest of our chocolate and we got back into the elevator. It was already a few minutes past ten.“The driver's gone,” I said when we walked out.“Yeah, I sent him home for the day,” Jackson replied, twirling keys in his hand.“Oh,” I said.“That's because I'll be taking you home myself.” That's when I saw the motorcycle. I immediately grew cold feet.“Oh, no, no, no, I'm not entering that,” I said. I'm not a rude or prim and proper lady that doesn't enter bikes. But I just have this fear of motorcycles. It's been something I've been dealing with since I was a child. I saw a ghastly accident once and it was enough to seal my fear.“What? Why not?”“I

    Mia's POV:I turned my head. Although my mind told me he didn't want to kiss me, my heart was pounding so hard that I believed he was going to kiss me.I heard him chuckle. His fingers grazed the side of my cheek before tucking strands of my hair behind my ear. I blushed, embarrassed.“I wasn't going to kiss you. I just wanted to get this hair out of your face.” he chuckled, amused by my reaction. He straightened and walked back to his seat. “I want to be able to see you while we spend time together.”I smiled back at him although I was burning with embarrassment. I downed the rest of my wine in a hurry, causing him to chuckle again. He refilled my glass.“Don't drink so quickly,” he said. I nodded. I just shouldn't jump to conclusions so easily. “And if I want to kiss you, you'll know. I'll ask you first.”My eyes flitted to see him staring intensely at me. I swallowed and nodded, telling him that I understood. He glanced behind me and smiled, “Our dinner's here.”I hadn't even heard

    Mia's POV:I was scared. Something had happened while I was busy enjoying a massage. I grabbed Melanie's arm, “What? What happened?”“This house is awesome!” She screamed jumping and twirling at the same time. She was like a teenager excited about their new phone.I exhaled, glad that it wasn't something else. “Ohh? I haven't seen the place yet.”Melanie looked at Felicity curiously. “Who's she?” She asked.Felicity didn't take any offense and she held out her hand. “Hi, I'm Felicity—Mia's friend.”I looked at her as Melanie said, “I didn't know you made a new friend.”“We bonded over massages and manicures,” Felicity said, showing Melanie our nude-painted nails.“You had manicures?!” Melanie exclaimed, grabbing my hand.“Come show me the house,” I said, grabbing her hand and dragging her into the house.“Goodnight, girls.” Felicity chuckled.“Goodnight,” Melanie and I threw over our shoulder at her.***When I woke up, I was a bit confused. I didn't know where I was. The ceiling was

    Mia's POV:I didn't know whether Jackson was jealous that Jaxon had kissed my hand or his eyes darkened because he thought of all the things he could do for me. I didn't know.I also didn't know how having three mates felt. Did they get jealous when one mate got closer to me or touched me? How were the three of them supposed to share one mate?I didn't know how possible it was because it was something that I had only heard about. Well, I was going to find out soon.Wait, did they know I had been married? I asked them because I needed them to know that. I needed them to be comfortable with the fact that I had been with someone before them.“We know everything there is to know about Mia. We just don't know you, personally.” Jace said.“And we don't care if you're divorced, heck, we don't care if you killed someone or multiple people,” Jackson added.“We just want you, Mia. All of you.” Jaxon completed.I was going to cry. I was going to cry in front of three grown men. I managed not to

    Mia's POV:“From hair to nails, waxing to massages, the Triplets have booked the beauty parlor to attend to your every need.” She explained.“They booked the beauty parlor? You mean the whole thing?” I gestured at the large building behind her.She smiled. It wasn't mocking or anything. She seemed happy that I was getting this treatment for some reason. “Yes, the whole thing.”Why would they do that? Why would they want to change everything about me? Was I not good enough for them?It reminded me of Hudson. The only reason he paid for me to have my hair done or get massages was when he had important events. He needed me to be the trophy wife.I thought that he just wanted to doll me up but he specifically asked for my hair to be straightened because he didn't like my curls. I don't want the Triplets to do the same thing to me.“Don't look so worried. They asked me to get your permission first before anything was done. They wanted to make sure that you were comfortable and—” she paused

    Mia's POV:I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little floored by this gesture. There were enough flowers to start a whole shop outside my door and now, the driver.“Oh, yes!” Melanie squealed. “Look at you, you're so lucky.”I raised a brow at her. “What do you mean ‘me’? We're both riding to work.” I corrected her.Her face immediately flushed and she shook her hand in front of me. “Oh, no, I couldn't do that.” She chuckled nervously.“Well, I insist. Anywhere I go, you go.” I said sternly grabbing her arm and walking towards the driver. “And if the Triplets don't like that, then they're going to be disappointed.”Melanie and I took the car and the guards escorted us to the orphanage. It was a little overkill because it brought more attention to us than keeping us safe.“Thank you,” I said to the driver. He bowed and I lowered my head. He was older than me and I felt weird for having him bow at me. I watched him get back into the car and drive away.I let out a breath. “I think I'm

    Mia’s POV:My eyes widened. Why were they here already? Did someone already inform them of my arrival? I looked out the window just in time to see them getting out of their cars. The guards stationed in front bowed.Oh. It must have been them. They had seen me come in here and they must have informed the Triplets. Either way, they were here and I had to meet them.I turned back to look at Melanie and Jennifer. “How do I look?” I asked, suddenly feeling self-conscious. I was meeting my mates for crying out loud and I was wearing what I considered a plain dress.“You look decent. Now, go!” Melanie said, pushing me to walk back to the entrance. Just as she did that, the Triplets appeared looking left, then right until they spotted me.Time seemed to stand still as they stared at me. Then, as if in slow motion, they walked towards me. My heart raced the closer they came.'Mate,’ Cassey growled, excitedly.“Um…” I started to say but I was lost on words. They were here and I didn't know wha
