Chapter 49

Jasmine



From the very moment I stepped into this room, I was aware that whatever I was going to face in this room was not going to be unpredictable, and most importantly I was going to get to the sides of my mates I was used to.

And as my dress was thrown away by Micheal and instantly his hand came to cup my breast over my thin bra, I had to stop my pained hiss from tearing through my mouth by biting down my bottom lip.

They were not going to be gentle today, nor I had expected them to be when they did not have any control over themselves and going through the terrific effects of the moon that were harsher than anyone could ever imagine.

Archer pressed his nose against my skin, tracing it from my shoulder to my neck as he deeply inhaled my scent and his grip on my waist tightened as each second passed.

Lucien grabbed my jaw tilting my face to lock me under the gaze of his sparring eyes, and then he slowly traced his sharp nail from my shoulder and stopped at my hip.

And then he cut the string of my understanding.

The slight burn on the skin over my hipbone instantly made me realize that the sharpness of his nail resulted in the cut on my skin that was much more fragile than a vampire's.

I felt the blood sliding down my hip and passing my thigh.

Getting hurt in the process of mating was unavoidable.

The feral side of the Predators did not know how to be gentle, it didn't run in their veins— The only way they knew to show love, hatred, or care was by pain. This was the only way they expressed every one of their emotions.

And this was one of the main reasons where Vampires were given mates who could be compatible.

But in my case, despite being a vampire I still wasn't one.

So despite being made for them, I still wasn't perfect for them.

But deep down I knew it, the reason behind this pain they were putting me through could not be for the expression of other emotions, it was for....love.

Lucien let go of my face and dropped to his knees, and then he pressed his nose beside the fresh-cut inhaling the smell of my blood. The satisfaction he felt reached me, and I could sense the euphoria each of them could feel.

The silence of the room was interrupted for a split second by the sound of the last item of clothing being torn by Archer and thrown away.

I did not know what they were headed to do but one thing I was sure was of whatever it was I had to prepare myself for the worst.

Being in a room with three vampires who had no restraints left whatsoever was certainly not going to bring the most memorable memories for me.

I felt the pad of Archer's fingertips brush over the wounds on my back whilst Micheal pressed his lips against my neck and assaulted it with his fangs. A slight burn spread throughout my body and I found it hard to stop myself from letting out the whimper.

I was not used to this behavior of them.

All I had ever gotten to see was their gentle and caring side but today it was different.

And there came the most part, today I had to accept both sides of them— In this mating process, I was meant to fully be theirs and make them mine, accept the best and the worst of them.

"Fragile," Archer's deep voice buzzed as he now traced the wound with his nail.

I bit down my lip even harder, the tears gathered in my eyes.

This was way too painful.

Suddenly I felt Lucien's lips press against my skin lower abdomen, his hunger-filled kisses moved all way upward to my cleavage momentarily distracting my mind from the pain.

It was as though they were worshiping every detail of my body but in their way.

"Jasmine..."Micheal pronounced my name as though this was the first time he was ever testing how my name would come rolling on his tongue.

Indeed it was the first time I heard his feral side saying out my name.

"Tempting," Micheal lowly growled withdrawing his lips from my skin, I knew he had already left the countless marks of his all over.

I was trying hard to keep myself together but my legs felt like they were made of jelly, my strength level was dropping constantly and if only anything was helping me was my own determination.

I could not give up today.

Just when I was so close to losing my balance, I felt myself getting lifted by Archer.

He threw me on the bed as though I was some rag doll.

And Before I could get up, He had me laying on my back once again as he dragged me close to the edge by my ankles.

Once again before my mind could register anything, I found all of them surrounding me like hungry lions.

Micheal hovered me whilst Lucien took interest in my lips and claimed them, the kiss left me breathless meanwhile Micheal's hands worked their way down my body. Creating the need for friction with his skillful fingers.

I could not feel their nails hurting me anymore, meaning that they had taken their extended nail back in and it absolutely astonished me that despite being in such a situation they were still somehow trying to not hurt me.

A rush of emotions spread throughout me.

I knew I loved them and maybe they hadn't gotten the chance to say it but I knew they loved me too and the thought of not being able to see them ever again terrified me.

This was the very same risk I was taking today, I was not afraid of death, I was afraid of going away from them; Going inside such boundaries that I could never cross.

And then I said, "I love you."

All of their movements stilled.

Something passed through their pupils, a realization or maybe something only they knew.

"Yes, I love y'all," I whispered wiping away my tears that managed to get out, "And I'll always do, even after I die."

I did not know why it felt like I was never going to get the chance to say it again.

Why it felt like the ultimate goodbye....

There was this awful feeling that coated my insides.

Was this really the last time I could be close to them?

Fingers brushing away my tears caused my chain of thoughts to get shattered into pieces.

My attention was drawn back to them as Archer wiped away my tears, he did not seem to have any idea why they were there but the need shining in his eyes to stop them was profound.

And then he leaned in resting a kiss against my forehead.

They were not in the state to understand anything, the predicaments of the blood-moon had surrounded them in such a haze that they won't be able to emerge through, not until the night passed away.

Micheal moved and pressed his lips against mine, devouring them and a slight gentleness drowning in his movements.

I felt myself being lifted up, too lost in thoughts to even realize any of it.

I could not understand anything else, their closeness was all I craved for even though it was causing me pain, I knew they were going to draw blood.

But I did not want them to stop, I wanted them to stay with me, be with me tonight.

I was settled on Micheal's lap and from behind Lucien grabbed a fistful of my hair, and then licked down my neck. A shiver automatically ran down my body.

It was not long before I felt Archer positioning himself at my entrance, and from below Micheal to lined up there.

My body tensed as I realized what they were planning to do, they had not penetrated me together like this before.

I doubted if my stamina could even keep up with it but before I could think of anything else I felt both of them entering me with a swift thrust, I stifled my scream by biting onto Micheal's shoulder.

My bite of course did not affect him the slightest bit, but the double penetration made me feel ripped down there.

The burning feeling had spread throughout my body.

I felt my jaw being grabbed by Archer and nipped at the skin behind my ear.

And then I felt Lucien position himself in my back passage, and as I had thought he too with it any warning pushed all the way inside of me.

Too much....it was too much for me that I could see stars behind my eyelids.

A low groan of pleasure rumbled in their chests that vibrated against my skin.

I had to grab onto Micheal's shoulder as tight as I could in order to keep myself steady when they started moving, all the strength in my body was gone in a puff of air.

But for some reason, I did not want it to end despite the awful amount of pain that attacked me from all sides. At least they were close to me and for now, this was all that mattered.

Moments passed, and so passed a few hours. Their energy didn't lessen the slightest bit.

There was a surreal urge in them, a restlessness that I had never seen before.

Till now my entire body was covered in blue and purplish marks. The tiredness was drowning me in it, I fought my eyes to stay open but my body preferred more to slip into oblivion but I didn't let it.

And just when I was inches away from giving up I felt their fangs brush over my skin.

Micheal's hands went around my waist to keep me steady, Archer's hand held my jaw and tilted my head for better access to my neck, and then I felt them twitch inside of me giving me the message that they were close and would mark me anytime soon.

A euphoria stirred awake inside of me that I had not felt all this time.

Somewhere the burdening thoughts stirred awake too but I refused to let them take over.

This has to be either the start or the end— I reminded myself and sucked in a deep.

And I felt Lucien's fangs tearing through the layers of my skin and enter into the veins of my neck, the fire was set on every inch of my skin.

The feeling of his venom entering my body was painful, too painful to even describe but I knew it was worth it so I just born the pain with silence. Swallowing the sob that threatened to tear through my throat.

He withdrew himself and licked over the wound, and the next moment I felt Micheal's fangs on the other side of my neck. They too punctured into my fragile skin.

The pain made me want to scream and even though I had allowed it to get out, not even a single sound left my mouth.

I could feel my body going all numb, starting from just where they had just marked me.

And as Micheal had licked and sealed the wound of his mark, I felt Archer's fangs positioning just inches below where Micheal's mark was. And then he did it, both his fangs and Venom entered my body at the same time.

This time the darkness began shading my eyes.

They released themselves inside me soon after all of them had sealed their mark on me.

But the effect of the venom had already started taking over making my nightmare come true, my body was not accepting the venom.

Despite my blurred vision, I could see my skin getting blue and my heartbeats getting faint. The temperature of my body as well as the blood in my veins started dropping in a rapid motion.

No.......

This couldn't be the end....

Everything began to get hazy, Black dots completely surrounded my vision.

And the last thing I could realize was my mates coming to their senses and a horror-covered voice of Lucien saying out my name loud.

"Jasmine...."

And I was sucked into the never-ending pitfall of darkness.
