Hated Mate

4

Shihuku POV

I wake up warm and comfy. My eyes flutter open and I realize how I feel almost completely refreshed besides being very tired and kind hungry.

Am I dead?

I lift myself up and rub my eyes, scanning my surroundings to see a large bedroom full of the three wonderful scents of my mates. Wait... I'm in a large bedroom, where my mates scents are very strong and coating the whole room... I'm in their bedroom. Fuck!

I go to slid off the bed but a door across from the foot of the bed opens and out walks Carson with a towle around his waist. We make eye contact and his face lights up, next thing I know he's holding me close to his chest tightly, one hand around my waist and the other on the back of my head as he burries his nose in my neck and takes in my scent.

I tense at first from fear but my body relaxes with the safe feelin of my mate being so close and showing affection.

"My lovely little mate." He hums. I tense with wide eyes. I forgot that they known now.

"M' sorry." I mutter with a croaked voice as tears stream down my cheeks. He pulls back with a worried and confused face.

"No, no, no! Puppy, what is there to be sorry about?" He asks as he lifts my chin gently.

"I'm so pathetic! I should be better for my mates!" I sob.

"No hunny!" He pulls me into his arms, pulling my legs up and around his waist so he's holding me. "We should be sorry for not noticing you were our mate, and for being so ruthless and beating you. We almost killed you! Baby, why wouldn't you tell us you were our mate?!" His voice breaks with the last two sentences.

"I was scared you would reject me.." I whisper.

"We would never!" He sat on the bed with me on his lap and rocked me back and forth calmly until I stopped crying.

"I've gotta get dressed real quick bud, then we'll head down stairs and we can get you something to eat, you're probably hungry." He lifted me up and set me back on the bed beforeoving over to a large black dresser.

He grabs some clothes and a pair of boxers before taking off the towle and changing. I blushed and looked away, trying to find something else to focus on.

Once he was done changing he came over to where I sat on the bed and helped me up, still feeling rather wobbly on my own two feet. In the end he just picked me up and held me chest-to-chest.

We got to the main area of the house and he set me on the couch gently. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped in around my shoulders, just now I notice how I'm shivering.

"I'll be right back bubs, I'll go get you something to eat and then you can feed from me." He walked off a moment later towards what I assume to be the kitchen.

I sit on the couch dumbfounded with a pout as I now sit alone and still cold and tired. A different man, the guy I had first scent marked, fast walked into the room and his eyes snapped to me and he looked utterly shocked before teleporting to be and embracing me in a tight hug as he too runs his nose over my neck and takes in my scent.

"You've been asleep for three days, have only woken up long enough to drink from one of us before passing out again." He mutters against my neck, causing me to shiver with unknown excitement.

"That long?" I choke out, getting a hum in response.

"Sweet little mate, where is Carson?" He asks after a second.

"In the kitchen." I say. He pulls away and glances towards the kitchen.

"He's gonna burn something, I just know it." He sighs as he shakes his head before turning back to me with a smile.

"Cold?" I nod.

He sits back against the armrest and pulls my onto his chest. God I'm tiny compared to him. Once settled laying on his chest I instantly warm up from his body heat, causing me to snuggle into him as he rubs my back soothingly.

Carson comes in a few minutes later and sets a tray down on the coffee table. He sits on the couch beside me and the man, who I now notice I don't know his name, and runs his hands through my hair.

"Rein, is it okay if I feed him this time?" Oh, so his name is Rein, noted.

"Of course baby." Rein hums.

He goes to lift me off of him as Carson sits beside us, but I cling to him and whine, feeling oddly clingy. I burry my head into his neck and suddenly start to tear up.

Why am I being so clingy and emotional? Am I pregnet or something?

My legs wrap tightly around his waist and my arms around his shoulders, my head still buried into his neck.

"Baby, please let go, you need to eat." Rein said gently as he sat up.

"Mmm." I whine in protest to moving from the warm figure.

"How about this: If you eat then I'll let you watch a movie as we cuddle." He gets quiet for a moment. "Including Carson, if you want." I hesitate in thought but eventually agree.

Rein POV

I sit in my home office doing some research and shopping online. I place the shipment for the stuff we will need when a familiar scent invades my nose, sending me a message. Mate is awake.

I bolt up from my chair and practically run out of my office and down the hall, the scent got stronger and stronger as I ran faster and faster until I made it around the corner to the living room. My eyes land on my shivering mate, wrapped in a blanket with some light bags under his eyes and a slight pout on his adorable face.

I teleport over to him and wrap my arms around his shoulders and run my nose over his neck and breathe in his wonderful scent.

"You've been asleep for three days, have only woken up long enough to drink from one of us before passing out again." I mutters against his neck and feel him shiver and his heart rate pick up slightly in response.

"That long?" He chokes. I hum in response.

"Sweet little mate, where is Carson?" I ask after I realize he is alone and how Carson left to take a shower half an hour ago and should be out now.

"In the kitchen." He says, causing me to pull away and glance towards the kitchen.

"He's gonna burn something, I just know it." I sigh and shake my head before turning back to my mate with with a smile.

"Cold?" I ask, remembering his shivering form, and get a nod in response.

I sit back against the armrest and pull him onto my chest, his small body fitting perfectly atop mine. The transformations are starting. Once settled laying on my chest he slowly stops shivering and snuggles into my chest as I rub his back.

Carson comes in a few minutes later and sets a tray down on the coffee table. He sits on the couch beside me and runs his hands through our mates hair.

"Rein, is it okay if I feed him this time?" He asks.

"Of course baby." I hum.

I go to lift our mate up but he cling to me and whines, burying his head into my neck and I see him start to tear up.

His legs wrap tightly around my waist with his arms around my shoulders, his face still buried into his neck.

"Baby, please let go, you need to eat." I say gently and sit up.

"Mmm." He whines but doesn't budge.

"How about this: If you eat then I'll let you watch a movie as we cuddle." I glance at Carson and he nods, obviously having the same idea as me. He's slowly turning. "Including Carson, if you want." He hesitates in thought but eventually agree to the offer and slowly releases me.
