Chapter 17

Jasmine


I woke up in a new surroundings, in a bed. I could see it was close to sunset, the sky had started getting dark. But where was I?

I removed the duvet off my body, looked down at my clothing, and found that I was wearing a shirt that could belong to any of the triplets. But judging by the cologne, it was not hard to identify that it belonged to Micheal.

I looked around and it seemed like a suite. The room was spacious and of course eye-catching, I could sense their smell. It was weird how even after being a human I could sense their scents from far away but I didn't bother to think about that fact much and forced my feet to walk towards the door.

Just as I was about to open the door, It got opened by Lucien behind him were Archer and Micheal whose eyes fell on me.

"So you are awake," Lucien spoke and without saying anything else he picked me up, the gasp involuntarily left my mouth and I wrapped my arms around his neck to keep myself steady.

"Can you all at least warn me before performing moves like this?" I asked and apparently found it funny, so the laughter tore from his throat as he walked inside the room with me in his arms.

"Warning you might not help us getting these little reactions from you," He smiled and kissed my cheek.

I couldn't help but blush.

Lucien gently let me down on the furred carpet, his hands were still on me.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked caressing my cheek and I nodded.

"Why didn't you all wake me up before and where are we?"

"We didn't wake you up because you looked too adorable in sleep," Micheal spoke walking closer to us and sitting on the edge of the bed.

The already present blush on my face increased and I found myself trying to hide to stop the smile that fought to break on my lips.

"W-Where are we?" I didn't know why I stuttered.

"We are at our Mansion," Archer answered the question and he too walked closer but stopped right beside me, his fingers lightly brushed on the side of my neck leaving a trail of goosebumps all over my skin.

"We are going to stay here?" I asked and he only nodded as he had made himself busy in tracing his fingers along on my skin.

"For a few days," Lucien added, his eyes darkening as he looked at me," Or maybe a week."

"But we were supposed to spend a day only," I spoke, "I haven't brought any clothes with me."

"Don't worry love, we have already arranged everything before coming here. You can find everything you need in the closet." Lucien chuckled lightly as he noticed my concern.

I couldn't even inform Martha....she must be looking for me.

My thoughts might have reached their hearing so Micheal spoke, "We have informed Martha before our departure, and we have told the workers to shift her belonging from the maid section to a nice room."

"Really?" His words made my brows rise in surprise.

"Yes, little one," He got up and placed a kiss on the top of my forehead.

"Thank you, It's just...." I didn't know how to form any words, I had not expected them to do something like this for me," Thank you so much."

"You don't need to thank us for anything, Jasmine," Lucien spoke, "We know Martha is important to you and anyone close to you it's our responsibility to take care of them."

His words affected me in such a way that I couldn't even express them in words. It
It was just overwhelming.

Without saying anything else I hugged him, tightly.

The sudden moisture gathered in my eyes, it was absolutely stupid how easily I could get emotional.

My whole life it was only Martha who took care of me, it was only us against the world. But for a girl who doesn't even remember who her parents were and were raised under the shadow of a kind woman, finding someone else who is willing to stay beside me and care for me with absolutely no motive hiding behind was everything I had never thought I would get.

"Thank you so much..." A sniffle unwantedly broke through.

Lucien's body was stressed and he instantly made me look at him, "Jasmine! Oh my god, Why are you crying?" He with his thumb wiped the droplet of tears that managed to slip from my eye.

"I never thought that except for Martha I'll find anyone else in this world who will care for me. I am just overwhelmed."

Upon my statement, I saw his shoulders relaxing, and Micheal and Archer's concerned expression got wiped off too.

"You scared the hell out of me," Archer breathed out, and a giggle tore from my mouth.

"Sorry," I leaned in and placed a kiss on his cheek which took him by surprise, of course, I hadn't done something like this before.

Before Archer says or does anything, Micheal interrupted.

"You are our mate Jasmine and of course, everything important to you holds the same importance to us. We care for you and we are here for you till the end." He walked over to me and pulled me in his arms.

He laid a gentle kiss on my forehead and wiped my remaining tears with his hand.

"We don't want to see any tears in these beautiful eyes, understood?"

I bit my lip to stop my smile and nodded, "Yes."

"No, let's get you to eat something, and then we'll go out." I nodded again and a smile splayed on his lips.

"But before that, little one...you should go and change into something less revealing and have mercy on us," Lucien whispered into my ear, and then I saw him walking out of the room leaving me blushing red as a tomato.

"Get ready quickly and come downstairs little mate," Archer lightly squeezed my butt leaving me to let out a squeak, my brows rose in surprise and my lips parted at his sudden action.

Without another word, Archer left the room leaving a quick kiss behind my ear and red shade present on my skin to deepen evermore.

I heard Micheal's quiet snicker as he noticed my surprised state.

"Go and change, Jasmine. I am sure they'll be here to check on you again if you take more time than they can keep their hands to themselves," He chuckled and pecked my lips. He slowly loosened his hold on me.

I didn't know if my poor mind could handle more than this already so I hesitantly nodded still too surprised from the prior event and hurried inside the bathroom. My heart was partially thundering against my chest as if it would jump out of it at any time.

The funnier and ever-surprising that how easily my got messed up when they were around me.

Of course, Being the mate of three vampires was not so easy.....not at all easy!
