Chereads / Mates, Myth and Magic / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

I groaned, draping one of my arms over my eyes, to shield the sunlight that is currently trying to incinerate them. I heard movement to my right and quickly shot up out of bed. I looked over as I got into a fighting stance and saw wolf boy standing in the corner of the room. "Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." He said as he put his hand up like he was talking to a rabid dog. I mean, that isn't that far off from the truth. To him and everyone else though, I'm a human. I learned how to hide the fact that I was a tribrid when everyone that I ever loved was ripped away from me. I was cut off from my thoughts as I realized that he was still talking. Geez, seriously? Does this guy ever shut up? "...You passed out and I didn't know where to bring you. Umm...I brought you some breakfast and a change of clothes." He said, rubbing the back of his neck with nervous movements. I looked around the room and realized that we were in a motel room. The one that's two blocks away from the bar that I was at last night. Yeah, I was very comfortable with this place you could say. I looked down at my ruined black dress and cursed at the rips and dirt-smudged on it. I looked up at him as he gazed at me in an affectionate way. He saw my attention on him before he blushed and looked away. "Thanks, big man," I said, before grabbing the change of clothes and heading towards the bathroom. I tried to think of a plan as I stood under the low-pressure shower. I needed to leave as soon as possible. Just because he was my mate, doesn't change a single thing. He can't find out what I am and I won't be the person that he wants me to be. I'm not a submissive woman and I don't like to be tied down. A part of me wanted to leave right now but the other part of me wanted to eat the free breakfast, so I thought about staying a little while. Only if we stayed in this motel room though. I do not want to be brought to this guy's pack. That will just make things more complicated. I'd hate to have to kill his pack members in the process of my escape. Okay, so that settles it. I'm going to stay for the free breakfast and possibly another night for free in this motel. I'm not staying because of this weird attraction that I have with this guy or anything. Nope, that's definitely not it. I stepped out of the shower after only being in for ten minutes. Even though this guy is my mate, that doesn't mean that I trust him. Hell, I don't trust anyone except for myself. It would really suck to be ambushed while in the shower naked. I pulled out the clothes that he left for me. It was a simple pair of black skinny jeans and a black tank top. I held up the lacy thong and matching bra set and arched my brow looking at it. This fucker really bought me these? I smirked. Well, if I was going to be stuck here with him for the rest of the day or until I'm ready to ditch him, then I'm going to tease the hell out of him. I pulled on the matching set. Damn, I really did look good. The red set looked and fit perfectly on my full chest and tiny waist. I wasn't about to begin to think how fucking creepy that was. I towel- dried my hair and let it sit flowing down my back. I smirked and turned the doorknob, walking out to the bedroom. I stood there, leaning against the wall as I watched Everett pace back and forth nervously. I cleared my throat since he was oblivious to my presence. He jerked his head up and just gaped at me. "You good, big man?" I asked, smirking at him. God, he was pretty adorable. I trailed my eyes down his shirtless form. How did he end up shirtless? I had no idea. Do I care? Nope, not one bit."Uh...uh...yeah, yeah. For sure. Umm. I got you a pair of jeans and a shirt in there too." He said, struggling to keep his eyes on my face. I mean, I don't blame him. At this point, I've been staring at his v-line for a solid two minutes now. I arched a brow, "I know. I'm not one to shy away from nudity. Are you?" I teased him as I started walking towards him. I made sure to keep my sultry look going as I swayed my hips, moving towards him. I stood almost chest to chest with him as he seemed at a loss of words with our close proximity. "Uh, no actually. You just look really beautiful and...I don't know. You make me a little nervous if I'm being honest." He said shyly. Seriously? This would all be so much easier if he was annoying to be around. It's going to be harder to leave him than I originally thought. I reached next to him, grabbing a banana off of the breakfast tray on the table. I maintained eye contact as I peeled the banana peel back as I brought it to my mouth. "Well, you have good taste in lingerie, big man." I made sure to put extra emphasis on his nickname as I put the tip of the banana in my mouth. I watched as his eyes dilated in lust. I could tell that he was trying to keep his wolf under control. He was saved from saying anything further as his cell phone rang. "Umm, sorry. I have to get this. Just eat some breakfast and we'll talk in a minute?" I nodded my head, smiling at his tight voice. And well, his tight pants. I picked up a piece of bacon and moaned at the taste. I honestly don't know how I'm in such good shape with the amount of food that I eat. Oh, wait, magic. Like literally. Well, and the super-fast metabolism all supernatural have. I listened as Everett talked quietly on his phone across the room. If it wasn't for my supernatural hearing, then I probably would have missed the conversation. "I don't know if it's such a good idea for you guys to come up just yet. She doesn't understand what I am to her yet. I just don't want to freak her out." There was a pause as he listened to whoever was on the other line. "Fifteen minutes? I can't explain to her everything by then." I stiffened as he said those words. I had to leave. Like, now. If there were other werewolves coming, then I did not want to stick around for that. I got up and went to the bathroom to retrieve my clothes. I pulled on the pair of ankle boots that he left for me as well. I exited the bathroom walking towards the door of the motel room. "Hey, where are you going?" I heard Everett say from behind me. "I'm leaving. It was really nice of you to help me out last night. But I got places to be." I smiled at him, trying to block out my wolf who was whining at me to stay with our mate. I could see the hurt in his eyes before he said, "I can't let you do that. I know you don't understand right now, and I'll explain it later, but you can't go." Oh boy. This isn't going to end well....for him. I sighed, walking towards him. "Look, big man. I know who you are and I'm really sorry for what I'm about to do." I said before leaning in and kissing him. I could feel the sparks from our contact and heat pool in my belly. But before he could pull me in for a second one, I pulled back. "Why would you be sorry about that?" He asked, looking at me affectionately. He pushed the hair out of my face as he smiled. "That's not what I'm sorry for," I whispered before snapping his neck. I used my supernatural strength as I caught him and laid him down on the bed. I gazed down at him and felt my wolf growl at me for hurting our mate. Good thing supernatural can't die from a broken neck though. "I'm really sorry. But I'm not the right girl for you. I hope you can findsomeone who can make you happy." I leaned down and kissed his forehead before grabbing a jacket and walking out of the motel room. I walked outside looking around for a vehicle that I could hotwire. Although I could just shift into my wolf, it's almost just safer to steal a car. I mean, I'm in the middle of an open parking lot during the day. I don't think I could even convince the crackheads and prostitutes that it was normal for a massive wolf to be walking around this area of town. I looked around spotting a guy with a motorcycle, smoking a cigarette. This is too fucking easy, I thought before smelling two heavenly different smells. What the actual fuck? I turned slightly and locked eyes with two guys across the parking lot. I have three fucking mates?! Of course, my life can't be easy. I lifted my nose subtly and sniffed again. A vampire and warlock. My eyes widened in surprise. It can't be a coincidence that I have a mate for each species that makes up a tribrid. The one who I identified as the warlock was about 6'2 with blonde hair and green eyes. I could feel his power from here as he looked at me and smiled. Whereas the other one who I identified as the vampire was about 6'3 with raven-black hair and blue eyes. Oh, and let's not forget to mention, he has a serious scowl on his face as I turn around and make a run for it. I mean, they are seriously hot but I am not about to be tied down to THREE mates. I might go for a foursome sometime, but I was definitely not going to stick around. I ran towards the motorcycle guy. Normally, I would compel a person, so I wouldn't bring any unwanted attention to myself. But I think the fact that I was running from two men in an open parking lot, has already given my cover away. I lifted my arm as I chanted a quick spell. "Eroten!" The guy dropped to the ground, unconscious. Let's just hope he didn't see my face or else I'll have to come back and kill him. I ran to his side as I grabbed his keys and helmet. I straddled the bike before bending over and grabbing his pack of cigarettes that he dropped. What? These things are going up to $6 a pack now. I guess I forgot for a moment about vampire speed as one of the guys came right in front of me before I was able to hightail it out of the parking lot. "Stop. I don't want to have to hurt you" He growled at me, holding a tight grip on the handlebars of the bike. I arched an eyebrow at him and let a smirk spread across my face. "Well, I don't care if I have to hurt you," I said before pushing out a force of magic and knocking him back twenty feet. I took the opportunity and sped out of there, not looking back at the three guys that I left behind.
