My Beta Mates

Chapter 21 : The talk

Rafe POV...

Will looked at me and Jake with pleading eyes. Its been so long and all I want to do is fling myself into his arms and never let go. My other half is finally back, I could feel the happiness radiating off of Jake. He also feels it. That we can finally be complete. We can finally get back to what was meant to be. Will stood up
"Jake and Rafe we need to talk.. please"

My heart skipped when he said my name. The hairs on my back stood on end and there was an undeniable arousal that filled me. I couldn't speak my mouth was suddenly so dry. Jake stood up and I followed. We went into an empty room, which turned out to be their old room. I could see the memories flashing in both of their eyes but there was a lingering touch of longing. Twins aren't meant to be separated yet my mates were and it has created a void in both of them. I hope that today can be the day where we can all just mend what was broken and try to fill the voids we have created for each other. Jake was the one who spoke first and anger was laced in his voice
"Why did you leave Will?" There was a pause of silence as Will did not answer. He took a deep breath in and out.

"I felt that I was not wanted.... let me finish.... I felt that I had betrayed the both of you by g8ving up in us so quickly. I lost hope first out of us two, I thought Rafe would not return and I almost lost everything by choosing to get married. When Rafe came back just in time I thought all would be well but then after our mating I heard the both of you talking in the kitchen about how it hurt to know that I could give up on us like that, so I left. I thought that without me you guys would be happy knowing that I'm not going to cause any friction should matters become tough."

"You idiot!"
Both brothers flinched at my outburst and I guess my alpha tone did not help the situation at all. But honestly I have an idiot of a mate. How dare he think like this?
"How dare you make decisions for us all like that? You took away years from our lives, years we could have spent together, years that we can't GET BACK!!" I was fuming and right now not even Jake could calm me down.
"I'm sorry"
"Its that all you are going to say Will? You leave Rafe and I to deal with the pieces of our shattered hearts, return years later to say you are sorry? Are you insane?"
Will looked at both of us and the only emotion that was prominent in those eyes was regret.
"That is all I have to offer, my regret and my love. You don't have to accept it and you don't have to forgive me either but I want to let you both know that I love you very much and I have loved you both since we mated. I have not been able to touch another since then and I won't be able to. My heart belongs to the both of you and that is all I wanted to say."

My heart leaped. He loved us and that fact alone made everything disappear. Maybe I was forgiving him too quickly but I have spent over a year without him and I just can't anymore. I know Jake feels the same way because his eyes were shining with love and pleading. I could see him pleading with me to take back our mate, to finally stop the torture of having to walk around with a part of us missing. There was still the issue of his daughter, because he claims to have not touched anyone. "What about Sammy. Isn't she your daughter?"
"She is... I adopted her months after going to Australia and she has been my daughter since. She has kept me sane and I wouldn't trade her for anything. Please accept her or u won't be able to live normal without her. She was my beam of light through the darkness I was facing."

"Its okay Will. I was just curious as to who her mother was, but you cleared that out for me."
"I forgive you... only if you promise to come live with us and no more running" Jake said. With tears threatening to spill over. I saw the relief pass through Will's face and then anxiety as he looked to me.
"Say it again" I demanded. I needed to hear it and it should be directed to me.
Will looked at me as love clouded his eyes
"I love you Rafe, my mate, I love you with everything I am." He looked at Jake "And I love you Jake, my mate, I love you with all that I am."
I laughed across the room and flung myself in his arms chanting continously "I love you" to both of them. Seconds later I felt Jake's arms wrap around us and we all just stood there crying our eyes out and not letting go. I don't think we could ever let go, we had already lost each other and to find ourselves in this position was the best feeling in the world.

I had my mate back and now we were complete again. Nothing could ruin this moment. Finally life was what I wanted it to be. A small voice interrupted us.
"Daddy?"
Will let go and bent down to check on Sammy
"Hey baby girl.. how did yoh sleep?"
"Amazing. The bed is really soft. Dad are they my papa's?"
Will looked at us smiling. He told her about us?
"Yes baby girl they are your papa and your other dad. This here is papa Rafe and this is daddy Jake."
"Hey Sammy come to your papa" I said with my arms wide open. She looked at my outstretched arms and then looked at my face. He chin started wobbling and tears leaked from her eyes. She ran and flung herself in arms crying.
"What took you so long papa. I was missing you and dad so much. Promise you won't leave again  please"
Jake hugged the both of us and I saw pure joy in his eyes as he promised Sammy that we would never leave her or her daddy ever again. Will joined in and it was one big family reunion hug. We were finally happy and love finally prevailed.
