JAYDEN'S P. O. V
"What the hell did you do to him? What the fuck did you say to him?"
Toby barged in what was now their apartment. They were seated on the couch enjoying a romantic movie, since their fated could not make it to date night they decided to stay in and enjoy each other's company. Toby entered, his anger enough to disregard the alphas demands. He pushed Leo behind his back his wolf already viewing the omega as an unwelcomed threat, sensing his fury Lucas made his way in front of his fated. His wolf left out a menacing growl to prevent the omega from doing anything his fated will definitely regret doing that again.
His eyes forged contact with Lucas gaze and his eyes demanded he control his whatever before he does it for him.
"If anything happens to him, it will be in your hands."
Leo stepped out from behind his alphas protective shield, his heart beating frantically and his anxiety was clearly visible.
"What happened to him? Gab said he will be with you tonight. Jay we must find him before anything bad happens to him."
"Don't you not think you have done enough? Let him go he clearly does not want to be part of whatever you two are inching for."
His mate defaulted and his spirit plummeted to the ground.
"Get out!"
His mate held on to his middle, tears and guilt made him gaze up at him his eyes begging.
"How dare-" -Toby
Now his wolf was on the forefront growling. His beast was furious, if Lucas did not get his fucking omega out that door...
"I said get out!"
Lucas has to choose now whether he want to leave with an injured omega or an angry omega the control is limited to his fury. Incredulous he was actually deliberating this, Jayden's wolf was inching for the blood of whatever dared made his mate shed a tear. So to make the decision easier for the other alpha he let out a low warning sound. Although he understands the other man's predicament, alphas powerful but their fated have the power to bring them to their knees. They have instinctual need to take care of their fated at times meant supporting irrational behaviour like this which is why he did not blame him.
"Toby. Let's go home."
"What about Gab? He must be devastated wherever he is."
"Give him time, he will come back to his senses. We apologize for upsetting you Leo, Toby is just worried about his friend."
"Lucas. *sniff*. I did not get a chance to tell him *sniff*. He said he had plans and I know I should have stopped him but he was running away before I got the chance to stop him (out of breath). I'm sorry."
The damn alpha of the omega that dared upset his beta, to make things worse he made to touch what is his. He growled refusing another's scent on his mate, especially when his blood was running cold. He is worried about their fated mate's safety.
"Leo calm down, breath it is not your fault. I will leave you with your mate and take mine somewhere to relax. I will check up on you later."
He challenged objections and when there was none he brought Toby closer his side embrace and disappeared out the door.
Jayden was not worried beyond Gabriel's safety. During their many dates Gabriel told them about the place he goes when he has something to think about. That one place he could really breathe to take time off.
"Don't cry my beloved. Now we have to find Gab and clear the misunderstanding. If he sees you cry-"
"He'll cry...*Sniff. Sniff*. Okay."
Leo took deep breaths and he hated the fact someone made his love cry. Drinking the water he got for him, he was afraid that Leo might be dehydrated so he handed him another glass. After a few more minutes he felt much better.
"Now that you thinking clearly. What is the place Gab goes to think?"
He thought about it for a few seconds before he opened his mouth to speak.
"The donut shop or the park."
Kissing his forehead he helped his mate up and took his keys and wallet.
"Let's go with the car please."
Tossing him the car key he caught it with one hand seeing his point.
*****
"Gabriel."
"Stay away from me. Stop following me, I don't want anything to do with you two anyways."
"Gab allow us to explain."
Leo said and it hurt him to see both his mates hurt, one for miscommunication and the other for Misinterpretation.
"I said! - Leo? What happened?"
His hurt fled replaced by concern, Jay moved to the one side to evaluate his reactions and how they reconcile. It was clear as day Gab was their perfect match.
"You were crying? Why? Your eyes, cheeks, your lips. Red. Who did this?" (Soft hands touched either side of a perfect, chiselled face looking into his eyes concerned.)
"It does not matter. We need to talk to you."
Gab was about to pull away and Leo brought him closer for a kiss. Jayden watched that sexy scene glad he got the front view to this. At first Gab was uncertain then to his surprise he kissed Leo back slowly the passion wild. Spotting a hard on, he decided to interrupt his mates. Love is love no matter the amount people basking in its infinite glory.
"Uhm. Urm."
The kiss immediately ended both man blushing. He wanted to take a picture because they were both so fuckin cute, Dammit focus.

GAB'S P. O. V
Shit he made out with another man's, man but he could not find it in himself to regret it. That was the best kiss ever, gentle, patient and promising. During the kiss he even wondered what Jayden's kiss would feel like. Messed up maybe. His attraction before was insane right now he got a taste and he hates he wants more, no needs more.
"Are you finally going to listen?"
He nodded once scared, not of the alpha but the news. Even if this was bad news he knew he cannot run away from it forever, hell he failed to do so for a successful day.
They bought food and drove back to their apartment. Parking someone opened the door for him but he refused to look back to see who it was, he just followed and he walked behind the two man facing the ground. Refusing to answer more than one word response they finally enter.
"Please set the food."
"Gab you can take off your coat and shoes."
He did not know why but did not even question Jayden's request. In fact he did not realize he was done and sitting his nose facing his favourite food, spaghetti with the meatballs on the side.
Tears began to fall, he did not raise his head he did not want them to see his fear. He was strong before this moment. He survived bullying, neglect, abandonment and rejection but with them he knew it was different. Being with them is different. They have the potential to break him into a million pieces.
"Gab. Tell us. What is wrong?"
"I'm not sure. I'm scared. You want to talk and I have a feeling it is bad news."
Oh shit. He did it again. This man should have been a good therapist or maybe a detective or maybe this work so well on him. Oh shit. His hands were they rested are now clammy, his stomach in knots and he blurted out.
"Growing up in different foster homes, whenever someone wanted to talk to me it was usually bad news."
"So you got triggered when I suggested-"
He nodded, Leo moved closer just to give him hug. Did he forget his boyfriend there studying them but Leo did not move. Jayden must be feeling something lesser man would want revenge for. He also moved a bit closer but not too close as to overwhelm him but close enough to let him know his also there for him.
"What we have to say depends on how you perceive the information."
It was odd really. He did not feel the hole, the dark hole waiting to suck him into the void of disappointment and despair. He took a deep breath and nodded.
"We are your fated mates. Fate has blessed us with you."
"When we first saw you at the campus it was instantaneous for us. I thought my feelings for you were wrong because I am mated to him but Jayden went to a psychic."
"The glorified seer was right you are our sun, Leo is the moon and I am lucky enough to be greeted by both as the water. Without each one of us we will feel the empty void we feel when we are apart for long periods of times."
"We have been trying to find a way to tell you but we were afraid you would not want to be a part of us. Toby gave us an ultimatum either he told you or we did. We did not want you to find this out from anyone else but us."
Sitting there shell shocked his thoughts couldn't meet his mind half way.
"Gab you not at all obligated to enter this relationship."
...
"Gab. Gab. Gabriel."
Huh? Were they still talking? He refuse to even think without his brain juice, which has to do wonders in this case scenario.
"Donuts?"
....
"OH. Are you talking about the Donuts we got coming here?"
He just nodded.
