Chapter 11: PANCAKES

ąʂ℘ɛŋ

Never in my life have I ever felt so warm.

It was odd, as my body and my wolf were finally both at rest after fighting for so long. Like, the calm before the storm...

My eyes fluttered open as I yawned but instead of finding my eyes trained on a wall, I found my eyes staring into the beefy chest of Carson. I yipped in surprise and jerked into Ryder's chest as I tried to calm my racing heart. Now it made sense, now I understood why I felt so calm, now I understood why Layla was so fucking quiet.

"Sorry, little Mate." Carson's voice was gruff with sleep. He yawned and pulled me back into his chest while Ryder snuggled into my back. It was the best spoon I had ever been a part of, but it was also the most confusing. "How do I have two mates?" I whisper out loud.

Ryder laughed as Carson huffed into my forehead. "Do you have a problem with having two of us to love you instead of one, would you prefer one?" He asks with an honest interest in his voice.

I had a feeling that there was a wrong answer to this question..." Honestly?" I ask to which Carson and Ryder both nod their heads, "I am not opposed to it, I have just never heard of it happening before, I know the Moon Goddess picks certain wolves for another but why did she pick two for us?" I ask.

Carson shrugged as if he couldn't answer a question that reasoned the action of a god but Ryder just rolled onto his back and pulled me on top of him, I whined but he laughed and alined our noses, "I think she wanted you to have two mates who could relate to you, who would understand how you feel, we are stronger, better, faster, more advanced than an average wolf, Aspen." He sighed.

I made a face at him as I rolled off his chest and away from his body, my wolf and heart greatly protested the distance I put between us, but I needed to get ready, I needed to do something normal after a day of abnormality.

"Shit!" I smacked my head and rushed to check the time on my phone.

It read 11:33 am, holy shit balls!

"What?" Ryder stressed as he rolled out of bed wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants. I blushed a deep shade of red as Carson came around the bed wearing the same exact thing, "What's wrong Aspen?" Ryder chilled.

I sighed hopping from foot to foot. I ran a hand through my hair as I hurried into the bathroom but I was stopped by a hand around my waist. I was tugged against Carson's hard chest as he pressed me against the bathroom door, "Oh my gods really?" I stressed and struggled against him. "I'm so late!" I moaned and gave up my fight against Carson, "I'll just skip today, it's whatever." I shrug meekly against the door.

Carson stared down at me like I had two heads and six arms, "Back the horse up Mate, what are you talking about?" he asked while Ryder laughed.

"Shit, Car, we missed our first day of school." he laughed loudly in an annoyed tone.

I shrugged my shoulders again and Carson completely ignored Ryder's comment as he picked me up and carried me to my bed. He threw me down and before I could scuttle away, he lied on top of me. I sighed at the contact but grumbled in annoyance, I wasn't going to want to get out of bed after lying down again. "We don't need school anyway." Carson finally said after a few minutes of lying silently on top of me.

"Right." I breathed. All I wanted right now was for my mates to be here with me, for them to hold me and kiss me, and maybe more. My mind starts wandering into places I'd rather it not and I felt myself grow hot as my stomach growled loudly. Ryder and Carson both stared at me, their eyes wide as they stared down at me. I know they could smell my arsenal, it was impossible for them not to, but I was also really STARVING! "If you don't get me food, I'm going to throw a fit," I muttered from under Carson. He groaned and rubbed himself against me which made me gasp as the sparks exploded and My body buzzed with the need for more.

Carson hummed as he nipped my earlobe, "You smell so good!" He protested as his hands squeezed my hips.

Ryder snarled as he forced my legs apart and dug his nose between my legs, my knees clapped around his head as I moaned at his actions. "She is ours!" he bit out.

I shuddered but I wasn't ready for this, this was going too fast, yesterday, I didn't even have a mate, I never expected to have one in fact, and now here I was with one of these leaving love bites on my neck and the other leaving his mark on the inside of my knee. "You know what else smells good?" I hummed out between a gasp as Carson nipped dangerously low to my hardened nipple through the fabric of my shirt, "PANCAKES!" I squeak as Ryder's finger trails down my leg. Holy hell, holy hell. I squeezed my eye shut and bit my lip. I was seriously about to unravel but they both pulled back and stared down at me as if I had just woken up and asked for breakfast.

"Pancakes it is." Ryder hummed and they both trekked out of the room. I started at my door like it was an alien as I slowly sat up, I fucking hated them! Was this supposed to be payback for last night when they both literally teased me by teasing each other but I acted unaffected?

Well, I had been aroused, they had known it, but I wouldn't admit it, was that what that was? Was that their little game of payback?

I groaned and hopped off the bed, I grabbed a pair of black athletic shorts and a grey sweatshirt that smelled suspiciously of Carson, how this got here, I'd never know, but he left it and it's mine now. I grabbed a sports bra and underwear before hurrying into my bathroom. I turned the water onto hot and ripped off the sweatshirt I had been wearing go. I had fallen asleep in sweatpants too, I had no idea where these had gone...damnit Ryder!

I stared at myself in the mirror, my eyes seemed more alive and as they wandered down I could see a hickey on the inside of my collarbone and when I looked down to my knee, there were two bright red hickeys on the inside of my knee.

Oh!

They were trying to partial claim me!

Whatever! I threw my hands in the air and grumbled as I stepped into the shower, I remember thinking of how a shower could have fixed all my problems yesterday, but as I thought about it now, that was a lie. Unless this shower could magically wash away too stubborn mates, then, no, this shower was not magic.

If only my life could ever be that simple.
