Her Given (Editing)

Chapter 7 - Our Angel

Ashton's POV

D-did he just say that my baby is a guardian angel?

I mean, I've met a couple of angels before. And I know that guardian angels are, supposedly, very rare; but I never knew that I'd meet one. And my babygirl, out of everyone? I knew she was special; I just didn't know how special. How could I have not smelled it on her? I decide to voice my thoughts.

"Babygirl, y-you're an angel? A guardian angel?" I can't keep the amazement out of my tone. She blushes under my gaze. Her ears and neck turning pink.

Fuck, I wonder how far that blush travels.

Woah, Ashton, chill. This isn't the time for you to get all horny. I just really fucking hope she's my mate . . .

"That's..." Cole starts.

"Amazing," Xavier finishes.

I can tell they're both as dumbstruck as I am.

"Okay, you love struck pups; now's not the time to get your panties in a twist." Damnit, I totally forgot that this bastard, Ian, was even here! Stupid fucking vampires, always acting like they're better than every other supernatural species.

"I--" Avelyn is cut off from whatever she's about to say because the other students start to trickle back into the gym, dressed in their gym clothes.

"This isn't over. Now go get dressed before we get caught," Ian, Mr. Brown, orders us.

Fucking bastard.

We head to the locker rooms to change, Ava splitting up from us to go to the girl's respective locker room. My brothers and I, being the only ones left in the guy's locker room, try to discuss what the hell just happened.

"I-I can't believe she's a guardian angel. I knew she was perfect; I just didn't know she was that perfect. Look at her, my kitten, a beautiful fucking angel," Cole gushes.

"I know, right? I literally didn't think she could get any better. I just hope she's my mate." Xavier is sporting this hilarious lovestruck puppy look on his face, and I'd probably laugh too if I didn't know that I have the same look on mine.

"I hope she's mine, too," I practically sigh in contentment.

"Same, I just feel this connection with her. Like we're soulmates. Damn, I just realized how whipped I sound right now," Cole laughs. I do, too, but then I realize that I feel the same way. We can't all be her mates. Can we?

"Wait, so we all feel a connection to her? How's that even possible? I've only ever heard of a few stories of someone having multiple mates," I say.

"True, but then again, it's also very rare to be mates with someone from a different supernatural group. And to find a guardian angel. Let alone one as gorgeous as Ava," Xavier rebuttals.

"Honestly, if we were to all be her mates, I wouldn't really mind. I mean, you guys are my brothers. And sure, it would be a little awkward at first--and we'd have to figure it out, but I think it'd be worth it. Besides, we share everything. At least I know if I'm not around, then she'd be safe with one of you. Plus, as strange as it might sound, I think it might be kinda hot." Cole starts to blush at the end of his speech.

"M-me too," I admit sheepishly. When did I become such a bitch? I honestly don't even care about the answer to that question.

"Well, I'm not going to lie and say I don't think it might be kinda hot to share her with you guys. And I would like to know she is safe with you; I trust you more than anything. And as much as I'd like to continue this conversation, I think we should get dressed and go back out there. I don't like the thought of leaving our angel alone. Although, I'm pretty positive that bloodsucker won't make a move with everyone else around," Xavier says.
