Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Rose's POVI heard arguing as I walked into the living room where all three guys were seated. Axel and Everett were yelling at each other as Atticus completely ignored them by turning the tv up louder.I heard Everett's voice as he defended me against Axel. "You know, maybe she doesn't want to sleep in the same bed because she doesn't fucking know us, Axel." He is literally the sweetest.Axel scoffed, "Fuck that. You do realize that she's probably had one-night stands before right? Not everyone saves themselves for their mates, Everett." I gaped at him because, like, what the fuck? I mean, I'm by no means a virgin, but he's acting like I got my phone number posted on every bathroom stall in town.I pushed down all my murderous thoughts as I walked into the living room, making my presence known. "Wow. You came to apologize for being a dick, and yet, not ten minutes have gone by and you're still being one. Real smooth, Dracula." I rolled my eyes before snatching his beer up and walking over to Everett, perching myself onto his lap.I could feel Everett slightly tense under me before he quickly snaked his arm around my waist. Sparks erupted from the contact, making my wolf very happy. I ignored Axel's glare as I relaxed in Everett's arms."So...what the hell are we doing here?" I asked, looking around the spacious living house."Making sure you're comfortable with us before we introduce you to each of our people," Atticus said, scrolling through the channels on the tv. I nearly spit out my drink at his statement."Your people?" I asked, dreading the answer.Everette nodded his head which was rested against mine. "Yes. Each of us became the alphas of our people after the originals were murdered by a psycho on a killing spree," Everett said in a calm tone. I tried to steady my breathing at his words. I guess it's not a good time to tell them that I'm the psycho who murdered their leaders. Don't blame me, they had it coming.Atticus muttered in agreement, "Now I'm the head warlock of my coven, Axel's the head vamp of his clan, and Everett is the alpha of the majority of werewolf packs in North America." I nodded my head in understanding. Well, fuck me. I'm just hoping that I look completely different by the time that I go.Axel looked at me a little less hostile than before as he said, "Me and Everett have to go take care of some business with our people, so Atticus is going to be staying here watching you tomorrow.""What? Like, babysit me?" I scrunch my nose up in disgust.Axel rolled his eyes. "Yes, exactly like that. I don't know about these two idiots, but I don't fucking trust you." He said, pointing at Atticus and Everett before pointing at me and narrowing his eyes.I rolled my eyes and leaned forward. "Fine then. What do I need to do for you to trust me?" I asked, genuinely curious.He looked at me in thought before putting on an amused expression. "Well, for starters, I need you to not kill anyone when we go out tonight to feed. Think you can do that Rose?"I narrowed my eyes playfully. "I thought it was Princess?" I asked, biting my lip while slowly stroking the beer bottle with my hand. I saw his face heat up a little before he turned his head back to the tv. I looked over at Atticus as he looked amused but turned on.I most definitely have noticed Everett's dick nudging against my ass as I sat on his lap. I slightly moved my head to the side so that I could look at him from my position on his lap. He looked a little embarrassed as he tried to shift his pants to ease his hard on. But my adorable mate didn't get the message that this will only make his situation worse as he's essentially rubbing it against me more. "It's okay you know, I don't mind," I whispered against his ear.He cleared his throat, no doubt causing the other guys to turn in our direction. "Do you, umm..maybe want to see my wolf?" He looked down at me shyly.I smiled at his shyness because fuck me if that's not adorable. I mean, he's a werewolf for fuck's sake. "Yeah, I'd like that, alpha," I said in a sultry voice as I got up. I looked around at my three mates, "I'll be ready in an hour. Let's go to the bar on Haven Street. They have the best people and drinks there," I said before walking out and up to the bedroom to get ready for the night.----------------------------------------------------I stepped out of the front door where the guys had been waiting on me to get ready. I couldn't help doing a double-take at my three hot mates. They were all dressed in jeans that definitely did their ass justice, while they wore different variations of tight t-shirts that showed off their greek god bodies.As if on cue, all three of them stopped talking and took me in from head to toe with lust and affection in their eyes. I had left my long blonde hair fall down my back as I wore a tight, sparkly black dress with a split up the thigh. I paired it with my high heels with an ankle strap wrapped around. I kept my makeup neutral but with a red lip to accent my pouty lips."Let's go party," I said, running my tongue on my exposed fangs. Axel gave me a stern look. "Don't kill anyone tonight. And you can only drink from girls."I gaped at him and gasped dramatically. "Fuck that! I only drink from dickhead guys.""Too bad, not anymore." He said, turning and walking away to the car.I stomped towards him, throwing glares his way. "Fine then. You can only drink from guys then."He stopped so suddenly, I almost ran into him. He narrowed his eyes and shocked me when he smiled. "Fine with me. I'm not picky." I huffed, crossing my arms. I turned towards Atticus who was smiling with amusement, while Everett was still looking at me the same way he did when I first came out of the house. "You said there's a magical barrier around the house right?" I asked Atticus in which he nodded yes. "So technically you can portal out of here but not to here, correct?" I clarified before I make a huge mistake."Yes, but wait a minute, Roe!"Before he could finish with his argument, I raised my hands up and out while chanting, "Renotusted amenu latuce!" I chanted as I pictured my favorite bar on Haven Street. In only a few seconds, all four of us were teleported onto the side alleyway of the bar."Damn it, Roe! That could have gone very badly." Atticus yelled at me, his voice hard with anger. He was actually kind of scary when he was like this."Oh calm the fuck down, Tuck! I've teleported seven people before, so there's nothing to worry about." I said, feeling frustrated at the lack of trust from my mates. Atticus stood there looking shocked, either because I called him Tuck or because I admitted to teleporting seven people which is almost unheard of in the witch community. But then again, I'm not just any witch.I turned on my heels and stalked off towards the entrance of the bar. I just wanted to get wasted and pretend that my life hadn't taken a 180-degree turn in less than a few days. I felt the guys sticking close behind me as I approached the bar. I saw a guy sitting on a stool who just wasn't getting the hint that the girl next to him wasn't interested. I sighed and rolled my eyes, walking towards his stool and tapping on his shoulder. He looked me up and down while licking his lips. I looked deep into his eyes, "Move." Since I couldn't drain one of these assholes tonight, I would at least stop them from being fucking pigs to women. The guy nodded his head and moved out of the stool.I sat down as the red-haired girl next to me turned and smiled. "I'm Rachel. Thanks for kicking that asshole to the curb for me. Let me buy you a drink." I shrugged and gave a little smile. I mean, why not? She called over the bartender who I immediately smiled at. Ah, Jackson, my favorite bartender. "Well if it isn't Rose." He smiled from ear to ear at me. Oh, yeah. I should probably mention that I say my name is Rose to people that I actually like. I go by Ruby to people that I fucking hate. So Jackson gets to call me Rose since he's a good guy and my friend.Jackson is actually the only other person who knows what I am, and he won't tell a single soul. Well, it also has to do with a magical contract that I bound him with that physically won't allow him to tell anyone else. He's helped me out over the years and he's my only actual friend.I smiled, "Hey, Jackson. Just give me the usual." I looked over at Rachel next to me beforeadding, "And give her the same. On me." He nodded his head as he brought me and Rachel three tequila shots with lime each."Holy shit girl! You just became my new favorite person." She smiled warmly at me. I could tell that she was a genuine person just by the way that she acts. Sadly for her, I'll be choosing her as my victim for the night, but I'll sure try and make up for it by partying the night away with her. She held up a finger and stood up before saying, "I got to go to the bathroom first. Hold my spot." She laughed as she ran across the dance floor."Here you go," Jackson said, putting down all six of our shots. He looked over to the right of me as Axel, Everett, and Atticus sat on three barstools with a beer in their hands. Jackson narrowed his eyes before lowering his voice. "Are those guys with you?" He asked.I chuckled while my three mates watched me like a hawk. "Yeah, they're my overbearing mates." Jackson was a vampire so there was no need to hide these kinds of secrets between us. I mean, eventually, almost every supernatural will know thanks to my mates being leaders of their species.Jackson's eyes widened in shock. "Seriously, girl? Three mates?" I laughed, nodding my head while throwing back one shot. "You think that you can handle all of that after how things ended with Damon?" Jackson asked sadly and quietly, but I knew that my mates could hear our conversation regardless of his volume.My eyes got glassy just thinking about Damon. I know that I said that I've never had a boyfriend, but that doesn't mean that I've never been in love before. I cleared my throat and blinked back my tears. "It doesn't matter, he's gone now," I said before knocking back another shot.
