Chereads / Mated To The Four Masters / Chapter 7 - The Scent

Chapter 7 - The Scent

I roamed my eyes across the bar and back. Okay, now I must say I hate being here without those imps. I shouldn't have agreed to meet at the bar in the first place.

"Hello, Drake, may I join you?" A lady with brown-coloured hair and hazel eyes appeared in front of me. She had the darkest shade of red lipstick on her lips, which almost made me nauseous. I still don't know why I don't see such women as attractive. Though she had a nice body, well curved hips and perfectly shaped legs, I still don't find her attractive.

I poured myself another glass of wine while looking around the bar, hoping to find my brothers.

"Alpha Drake, don't be like this. When will you stop avoiding me? Huh?"

"Don't call me Alpha, we're not in the pack?!"

"Oops, I'm sorry. I almost forgot you don't like being referred to as an Alpha outside the pack.

I didn't bother giving her a reply. All women want a piece of me, there's no doubt.

Just as she was about to say another word, I smelled them around. Thanks to the goddess, they finally came!"

"Rebecca, I'm not sure if I can be of much help to you right now, so if you would excuse the table, I would so much appreciate it."

Rebecca stared at me with an expression that showed she was hurt. Well, I couldn't care less. It's not like I have her hope about sex or something.

She slowly stood up from the chair, carefully, while I averted my face from hers.

"O…okay, I'll leave now."

Some minutes after she left, I saw Damson, Trevor and Ethan stroll into the bar. They all smiled in my direction before walking over to the table.

"What took you guys so long?" I asked, without staring in their direction. I was more concerned about my drink.

"Sorry bro, had to take care of pack matters," Damson explained.

"I'm sorry, I had to take care of some new collections which came in today," Trevor said.

"I'm sorry, bro, well, I was…"

"Probably fucking some asshole I guess," I said with irritation.

"Come on, brother, don't say that. I was-"

"You have nothing to say, Ethan, just shut up," Trevor reprimanded by giving him a tap on the back."

"Actually, we all met at the entrance of the bar," Damson further explained.

"That's not my business. Why did you want me here? It won't be my birthday until this weekend."

"We know, but we just want to have some brotherly bonding, don't you all agree?"

Damson asked the rest, and all of them answered with a "yes" while staring at me with a grin.

I shook my head. They are being silly again. Actually, I missed them. The last time we all gathered was a year ago. I took my gaze at them. They all looked cheerful. I could tell that they were happy to be there as well.

"Wait a minute, when you talked about brotherly bonding, something came to mind," Ethan said, giving off a mischievous glint. Whatever the kid has in mind cannot be good, that I can tell.

"What do you have in mind this time, Ethan," Damson asked, sipping his glass of wine.

"Well, since we are in this matter, what do you say about having one partner, just for us four?"

I instantly spat the wine, which I was about to gulp down my throat.

"The fuck are you talking about?!" I asked, almost losing my temper.

"Hey, be calm, Brother, I didn't mean to upset you," Ethan said.

"Oh Ethan, being naughty is your specialty, isn't it?" Trevor asked with a smile on his face.

"What are you smiling about? I asked, Trevor.

"Well, what Ethan suggested, cannot be that bad, if you ask me. I'd like to try that out. I wish to experience what it feels like to share a partner with my brothers."

My heart sunk instantly. I cannot believe what my brothers were proposing, I must be dreaming about all these talks. There's no way they actually meant it for real.

"Damson, what do you think about this?" Ethan asked him with a wink.

Damson took a glance in my direction. I had no idea what his response would be, but I'm hoping his views will be different from the others, at least.

"Well…if you ask me, I would say, that is fucking crazy and going to be interesting!"

I went wide in shock at Damson's response.

"What the fuck is wrong with all of you? Damson, I never expected you'd agree to this."

Damson and the others burst into mind-wrecking chuckles.

"Come on, brother, I might be your beta, but it wouldn't be that bad to share someone among ourselves," Damson uttered with a wink.

"You mean you all want to have an orgy?"

They all took a glance in my direction and nodded their heads in response.

"Brother, we all know you haven't had the opportunity to have physical interaction with anyone. I bet you'll know your sexuality by the time you have an orgy."

I almost felt like puking at the words of my brothers. They've all gone insane.

"What kind of person do you actually like, brother?" Ethan asked me curiously.

I stared at them blankly. How on earth was I supposed to know what kind of person I liked? I've never had contact with a woman, neither have I with a woman. I don't even know my sexuality, to begin with.

"Your silence simply means you still haven't figured out whom you really like," Trevor said.

"Brother, you're just too uptight, you need to get someone laid. I bet you'll be free the moment you do so. We all don't have a mate yet, and we've way passed the age for a mate, so why not try something new."

I didn't even want to think about what they'd said. Just then, I perceived the cooling scent of vanilla and mint.

At that moment, my breath seized. I looked around the bar, searching for whoever had such a mesmerising smell.

"What's that scent I perceive?" I heard Damson ask.

I quickly tilted my head in his direction, only to see my brothers all on their feet, looking around the bar, just like I was.
