Oliver and I stop when we get to the tree his clothes were hidden behind. Oliver disappears to get changed, and I shift where I'm stood.
I'm enjoying the whole being able to shift without taking off or shredding my clothes. It's great. It makes things so much easier. I wait until Oliver appears, shirtless, from behind the tree. I take a moment to appreciate his body before averting my gaze. The last thing I want is for him to catch me looking at him, I don't think he'd let it go. But goddess, his body looks like it's been carved by the gods themselves. All three of them. They're all perfect and they're all mine.
He takes my hand and we start heading back to the house. "What would you like for lunch, Love?" He asks, opening the door for me.
You. I think to myself, but push the thought aside. Not yet. He hasn't earned it yet. "Hmm, how about something light? A chicken salad sounds nice."
"A chicken salad coming up." He says, pressing a soft kiss to my head.
I give him a small smile before following him into the kitchen. He starts pulling things out of the fridge to start preparing lunch for us both. I sit at the table and watch him. I watch his muscles flex as he moves.
"Have you got any work to do today?" I ask, trying to gage how much time I have with him.
"I have a meeting this afternoon, then Theo and I are training the warriors this evening." He says, glancing back at me.
"How long does training usually last?"
"Three, sometimes four hours. It depends what we have planned and how hard we think we can push them."
I nod in understanding. "I'm going to spend tonight with Henry, but I'm all yours tomorrow. Is that okay with you?" I ask.
"Of course, Love. How're you finding splitting your time between us?" He asks.
I shrug. "It's still early days but I'm scared I'm neglecting you guys." I respond with a soft chuckle.
He smiles, glancing back at me. "Don't worry too much, we know you've got three mates to pay attention to. The only one you have to worry about in that regard is Theo. He's never been one for sharing." He chuckles.
"I'll keep that in mind." I say with a smirk.
"Don't get any ideas now, Love." He smirks, placing a bowl in front of me. It was filled with chunks of chicken, lettuce, spinach leaves, quinoa, nuts, cucumber, tomato and some feta cheese. It looked delicious.
"Thank you." I smile, as he sits opposite me with his own bowl. "I can't make any promises with that one." I smirk as I tuck into my food.
We eat in a comfortable silence. Spending time with each other has been good for us and for our wolves. He looks a lot better. The spark in his eyes is back, and he looks a little healthier too. It's insane to see how the mate bond affects some people. Separation can be hard for mates, and it's especially worse if there's a rift between you. It affects you pretty quickly, and it's catastrophic if your mate dies. Just like my father.
"Thank you for giving me another chance, Love. I won't let you regret it." He says.
I give him a small smile. "This is your last chance, Olly. I don't want to lose you, I want you. I want all three of you. You need me, and I need you guys. Let's just take things slowly or now."
He nods in agreement. "I'm happy to go as slow as you'd like love. I'd wait until the end of days, if it meant I could spend time with you." He says. "Are you finished?" He asks. I nod, placing my fork down. "Here let, me take it." He says, standing up.

WerewolfI ran. I ran as fast as I could. I couldn't do this. "Mate!" My wolf, Odette, screamed in my head. Her tail wagging, jumping around in pure excitement. Her mate was chasing her and she was loving it. I, on the other hand, was gasping for air as I sp...
