Metanoia • Mikaelsons mate

Chapter 5

"Soulmate?" Jane asks, blinking at the blonde in disbelief. "Honey, you could have just told me you liked my ass, that also works."

Finn chokes on his water and proceeds to look scandalized at the continuous filth that was coming from Jane.

"For god's sake." Niklaus groans, wondering how the Mikaelsons had landed themselves with not one, but two inappropriate and rude humans for mates.

Charlie had been merely staring at the wall, trying to comprehend the fact that he was surrounded by very attractive, but very lethal vampires.

"It's real, Jane. These four idiots are... mine." Amara remarks reluctantly. She had taken pity on Rebekah, who had been trying her best at explaining the situation to Jane. The normally articulate blonde had been so awkward it almost became too painful to watch.

"Yes, we are." Kol confirms proudly, beaming at his mate.

Amara rolls her eyes.

"I also want a soulmate; this is so cute." Charlie finally speaks up, looking longingly at the Mikaelsons. He sure hoped there was a handsome vampire somewhere to sweep him off his feet as well.

"Cute? They barged in here like they owned the place and cock blocked me. That's not cute." Amara protests.

"We did no such thing." Elijah grumbles. "We merely suggested that you find other means to pass the time with."

This comment is answered with an icy glare from Amara.

"Darling, you have four. Can't you lend me one?" Charlie asks, making googly eyes at both Elijah and Finn. "Just for the time being?"

"You can have Mr. Sassy pants." Amara replies, smiling sarcastically at Elijah.

Kol hums happily in agreement, glad that his mate hadn't offered him to the human.

"No, he can't." Elijah huffs while wrapping a possessive arm around Amara.

"Do you see what I was talking about?" Amara sighs, not bothering to shake Elijah off. "All the touching."

"You can touch me." Jane offers, wagging her eyebrows at Rebekah, who turns bright red but gently takes Jane's hand in hers.

"That could be us." Kol mutters whilst folding his arms in front of his chest.

"You could still be on my porch, seeing as your weak-ass apology did nothing for me." Amara retorts. The only reason she had let the Mikaelsons back in was that Jane threatened to tell them all of Amara's embarrassing stories.

"How are you so calm with all of this?" Amara asks as she and Jane prepare some snacks in the kitchen. Her friend had been remarkably accepting of the whole ordeal.

Charlie was busy entertaining the Mikaelsons with some jokes from his stand-up routine. They were a tough crowd, seeing as most jokes went over their heads. Being locked in a box for most of this century did that to a person.

"I'm not sure, must be the alcohol." Jane shrugs. "It's kind of cute, I guess. Rebekah is sweet, and to have a soulmate is the ultimate brag."

"Yes, I think you're lucky to have her. And she's lucky to have you." Amara smiles softly at her friend. She wished her friend all the happiness in the world and knew that Rebekah would go above and beyond to give Jane just that.

"Now, don't be jealous of my smoking hot mate." Jane teases. "You're not doing so bad yourself, getting to bang four male models."

A choking noise can be heard from the other side of the house, which soon turns into a noisy coughing fit. Amara suspected this to be either Finn or Niklaus.
