Chapter 23-Thoughts

Hi guys! Short chapter, I know, but more is coming soon! I've been writing papers all day today, but I really wanted to do some actually fun writing for once! Hope you enjoy!-A.B.

Theo's POV

Okay, what the hell just happened?

I gotta think about this in a reasonable way, I thought as I paced the expanse of my bedroom.

These four hunky alien guys, say I'm their soulmate? I can't believe that they think that! How would that even be possible? Sure, they are all attractive and I care about all of them, but relationships with all of them? I kissed Zek once and I nearly fainted!

Okay, let's try this again, think about thing rationally. Is this the weirdest thing that could be happening right now? I mean, I was abducted by aliens, drugged by aliens, and nearly sold to aliens, why wouldn't I be mates to aliens too?

I sighed and dropped backwards on my bed, looking up at the ceiling.

Is it weird that I'm not scared by the thought of it at all? All four of them have been nothing but nice to me, if of course you don't count the issue with Nadi, which was sorted out. And I've made friendships with all of them that felt so genuine, so right. And I know if I had a romantic relationship with any of them they would be a gentlemen, that they would continue to be nothing but a caring, loving person.

I'm scared of being in a relationship with them, but I feel guilty?

They're all so perfect, why would even one of them, let alone all four, want me? I've been rejected so many times in my life, hell, not even my own parents want me. I felt selfish before for even fantasizing about being with one of them, but taking all of them? That would make be the biggest asshole in the world. Correction, universe apparently.

Do they even know what being in a relationship with a human is like? Surely there were plenty of other pretty aliens for them to "mate" with? Ones with some knowledge of their world, or maybe even the ability to give them a baby? Four male princes plus one human guys equals no royal heirs. I could already feel the anxiety bubbling up inside of me. I couldn't disappoint them like that.

All of these questions started swirling inside my head. Would they be upset with me? They're all so nice, would they even tell me if they didn't want to be with me? They made the soulmate thing seem so serious, is it like, against the law for them to not be with their mate? Would they get rid of me or something when they find out that I couldn't be the mate they were hoping for?

If they did that, would they get a new, better mate?

The last thought stung a lot. Because even if I knew I couldn't be a mate like they needed, the thought of being with them, belonging with them, it felt nice.

It felt nice, Damnit. And I know I can't have it.

I made up my mind. I can't be their mate.

Whoever in the last chapter thought Theo wasn't as calm as he lead the boys to believe, you weren't wrong 😂 -A.B.
