Story: Three Mates & A Tribrid
Rose's POV
I stood in front of the bathroom mirror as I brushed my hair back into a ponytail. I couldn't help but smile as I traced my three mate's marks on my neck. Atticus's warlock mark on the back of my neck, Everett's werewolf bite on the right side of my neck, and Axel's vampire bite on the left side.
Axel walked towards me as I looked at him through the mirror. "You were better than I could have ever imagined, Princess," He said as he nuzzled his mark on my neck, leaving small kisses behind.
I bit my lip, trying to hide my huge grin on my face. "You weren't so bad yourself." I screamed and laughed as Axel picked me up by the waist and sat me down on the counter.
"You drive me fucking crazy, baby," He growled in my ear before he claimed my lips with his. I gripped his hair in a fist as I moaned into his mouth.
"Well, I'd say you guys kissed and made up?" Atticus's voice rang through the bathroom as he smirked and leaned against the doorframe with Everett smiling behind him.
I couldn't help the giddy smile that spread across my face seeing my mates in the same room. Damn these mate marks, I feel like an emotional bomb is going to go off any moment. I tilted my neck, showing off my last mate mark to the guys with a huge grin on my face.
Axel smiled at me affectionately with no trace of his usual scowl in sight. "We sure did."
Everett snorted in humor at Axel. "Don't look so cocky." I raised an eyebrow at his little bit of jealousy.
"You know, there's enough of me to go around," I smirked as all of their eyes turned into lust.
Atticus gave me 'fuck me' eyes as he looked my body up and down before looking at Everett and Axel with a smirk. "Oh trust me, Roe. We know."
I gulped, feeling myself get wet at the thought of fucking my three mates at the same time.
Everett shook his head as if he was trying to shake off his sex-crazed hormones. "Quit with this shit guys, I seriously have a raging boner right now. We need to focus on the task at hand first." I could tell that his voice agreed with him, but his eyes were still glazed over in lust.
I looked at Atticus and Everett with wide eyes. "Did you find the knife?"
Atticus grimaced. "See, about that. I looked everywhere at all three of our territories. If it was there, it's definitely not now. Are you sure they took it?"
I nodded my head. "Yeah, they confiscated it, thinking it was just a normal weapon at first. I tried getting it back when I killed them and escaped, but I couldn't find it anywhere," I said, chewing on my lip nervously.
Axel sighed. "Well, the only thing we can do is prepare you in case of an attack. How often do you practice fighting and magic?"
I laughed a little nervously. "I only have a few spell books that my dad left me, so I don't practice outside of it that much. As far as fighting goes, I only practice with Jackson, but it's hard since he's weaker than me."
Everett smiled wide. "Well, lucky for you, you're mated to the strongest alphas in North America. We'll help train you, baby girl."
My heart fluttered at the looks on my mate's faces. I was quickly realizing just how lucky I was to have them in my life. I couldn't imagine doing this alone right now.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Widen your feet. Put up your fist. Damnit, Rose! You look like a fucking praying mantis right now," Axel yelled, adopting a fighting stance.
I growled in frustration. "I'm tired! We've been doing this for an hour and you haven't even fed me yet."
Axel quickly slung his fist, hitting me in the stomach as I doubled over in pain.
Honestly, I was just being fucking dramatic because I was promised food after a thirty-minute fight.
It has now been an hour and I still haven't been fed.
"Only the strongest get fed, Rose. The weak ones die.
Is that what you want to be, dead?" He asked as he hurled another fist at me as I blocked it weakly.
"Well, technically I can't die," I mumbled as I lazily blocked his moves, going into a defensive stance.
"Rose, time to eat," Everett hollered. I perked up instantly.
"See? Everett loves me," I teased as I swung my fist full force into Axel's stomach, earning a groan as he clutched his injury.
I was about to ask if he was okay before he looked up at me with a smile on his face. "Fucking hell, Princess. You have a mean right hook when you try."
Atticus laughed in amusement as he walked by us to go inside. "I swear, you two are scarily similar."
I practically skipped happily up the stairs and into the kitchen as Everett set food on the table. "How was practice?" He asked as he smiled at me and gave me a kiss on the lips.
I groaned. "Axel was being a total asshole."
Axel looked at me with wide eyes. "Me? You wouldn't even try. How am I the asshole?"
I scoffed, "You called me a fucking praying mantis. How is that not bad?"
"Well, how else was I supposed to describe you? A baby giraffe walking for the first time?" I heard the teasing tone of his voice as I finally broke out in a smile.
"Fuck you," I laughed as Everett sat my plate down in front of me at the table.
I practically beamed at him as I saw a big portion of steak, potatoes, and buttered rolls. "You're the best, big man," I said before taking a huge bite out of the steak. I moaned at the taste. I opened my eyes to see all the guys looking at me with amused but turned on expressions.
"You sure do love meat, don't you, Princess?" Axel asked in a husky tone as he looked at me suggestively. He was sure as hell not talking about the steak either.
I licked my lips and gazed at the guys. "Yeah, I do. I'm not so opposed to sharing either," I said smiling as the guys adjusted themselves and finally looked down at their food and digging in.
We haven't talked about whether the guys wanted to all be included during sex or if it was more of a solo operation. But fuck, I hope they wanted to all be included. I've never had a foursome before.
Atticus cleared his throat before looking at me seriously. "We need to train next. Your magic is probably going to be your biggest advantage. Most witches and warlocks are nowhere near as powerful as you are. We need to make sure you're prepared in case the council does find you and steps in.
I nodded my head. Magic was more of my passion than shifting or compelling. I liked the buzz I get from it and the feeling of pure ecstasy when releasing pent up magic. "Sounds good," I smiled at him as we continued eating in a comfortable silence.
After dinner, me and Everett ran around in our wolf forms while Axel and Atticus jogged closely behind us.
Although the guys don't get jealous when I focus my attention on one of them, I could tell that Atticus and Axel felt a little bit left out while we were in our wolf forms. I was practically jumping up and down in excitement when it was time to train with Atticus.
I haven't gotten a chance to learn new spells that are taught in covens, so I was very nervous but happy to learn more magic.
Atticus walked over to me as he set up a wooden table full of herbs, liquids, and bowls.
"Okay, I'll try to teach you some useful spells that will help you the most in order to fight close combat and escape.
However, I'm sure if the council is planning on taking you, then they'll use anti-magic restraints.
If that happens, then your best bet is to just use Axel's training or shifting into your wolf. "
I nodded my head, growing more nervous at the idea of being taken away from my guys. Atticus furrowed his eyebrows in worry. "Baby, what's wrong?"
"I'm scared of losing you guys," I said quietly but I knew all the guys would hear it.
I felt Atticus pull me into his chest while rubbing soothing circles down my back. "Hey, don't talk like that. I promise you, Roe. We're not going anywhere."
I pulled back to look up at him with tears in my eyes. "What if they take me? What if I'm never able to see you guys again?"
"We'll kill them then," Axel said in a stern voice from behind me.
I shook my head. "You can't. You know you'll be removed as alphas and be tried for murder."
"We don't care about our positions, Rose. We'd do anything to protect you," Everett said, smiling at me like I was his universe.
I looked at my three amazing mates in front of me and finally realized something. I wasn't alone anymore. I had people who cared about me, trusted me, and....loved me. It was a hard concept to get used to but slowly I was. At that moment, I realized....that I loved them too.
