Madelyn started crying from where she was hiding, and we realized that the heat must have kicked in again, now that we weren’t touching her, so Koda quickly ran over to her.
“Go wash your back” Koda ordered as he pulled Madelyn into a hug “We can eat after. I’ll grab some things and bring them back in here”
MADELYN’S POV
I was very confused, when I woke up on Tuesday morning in the Library, we were lying on the floor, on cushions, and the thick blanket from our bed, though it was under us.
I slowly sat up, causing my hair to fall over my shoulder, making me realize I was naked. I heard a movement beside me, and I looked down to see Jax was waking up.
“Morning”
“Good morning sweetheart” Jax yawned as he sat up, and ruffled his hair.
I frowned and touched his chest, there were small bite marks that were nearly healed, but there were a lot of them, along with cuts.
“Did I do this?” I asked, my eyes wide with regret, I tried to remember our last 24 hours, but I was only getting flashes “I’m sorry, I hurt you”
“Don’t worry about it” He winked at me
He touched my face, and reached in to kiss me, but I growled and leaned back. I don’t know why I reacted that way, but I felt the overwhelming desire to get away from him.
Jax quickly dropped his hand and smiled “Mom, never wants dad to touch her after her heat either” He told me “We’ll wait until later, how are you feeling?”
I stretched, and examined myself. I was naked, and I blushed a little. I was feeling a little shy right now, but I had no idea why “A little sore, and stiff, but mostly okay”
Koda moaned in his sleep, and I looked down at him, he had cuts and bite marks healing over his body too.
“I guess I was a little wild during my heat” I reached out and touched a large cut down Koda’s chest
“I told you not to worry about it” Jax grabbed a pillow and hit Koda, who growled, and jumped up, looking around, fully alert.
“What the hell is wrong with you!?” Koda grabbed another cushion and hit his brother.
I giggled, and tried to get out of the way, but the jerks turned on me, and started hitting me playfully with the cushion and pillow.
When I got free of their antics, I got to my feet, and gasped a little, I was a lot sorer between my legs. Then I’d realized the twins exchanged a glance, both looking guilty, but it didn’t bother me, I’d inflicted more pain on them than they’d done to me.
“I’m going to go shower” I told them, and headed for the bathroom.
“Can we join you?” Jax asked, as he stood up.
“As long as you don’t touch me” I smirked at them.
“I’ll shower alone then” Koda joked, but I rolled my eyes and left for the bathroom.
After a nice long, hot, shower, we ate, and spent a very nice laid back day together. I was confused as to why they didn’t return to work, but they told me it was normal for Lycan males to stay with their mates, the entire day after mating. Apparently they got extremely protective.
It really made me feel so stupid, I knew hardly anything about my own kind. When I pointed this out, they told me not to worry, and that Evelyn would bring me up to speed.
I really enjoyed being with the twins all day. The more time I spent with them, the more I realized, I never wanted to share them with anyone, I couldn’t believe how greedy I was. I literally had two mates, and I still wanted more of their time, though, I would keep this to myself.
After lunch, we swam around in the pool, and it was the first time, since waking up, that I let the twins touch me, I wasn’t interested in s*x, but I enjoyed being in their arms, and kissing them.
The only dim spot, of our day together, was the twin’s actions. I noticed them speaking privately through the link throughout the day, and I was worried Fenrir had attacked or something had happened, but when I brought it up, they smiled and dismissed my concerns, and told me nothing had happened.
When Julia came to clean up all of our mess, I got distracted from my concerns, because they dragged me out of the house, and into the forest, so our Lycan’s could go for a run, I was terrified to shift again, but they told me, if it hur like last time, they promised we’d stop.
Mercifully, the shift only hurt a little, and it was over in seconds, unlike last time, and Ava was so happy to be free, and enjoyed her time with Flynn and Knox.
The second we returned home, however, the twin’s weird behavior started again. They kept slipping away one at a time, then when Jax would return, Koda would make an excuse to slip away.
I brought up their behavior again, but they just shrugged it off. Eventually, I got really annoyed with them, and stomped off for an evening shower, before dinner, and this time, they didn’t ask to join me, which only made me more suspicious that something was off.
When I walked out of the bathroom with my towel wrapped snugly around my body, I found a very pretty gown, lying over the bed, with a white card sitting on top.
“PUT THIS ON” I read the note, frowning in confusion. Where were my mates?
I pulled on the beautiful blue dress, and walked over to the bedroom door, where I found a second note stuck to the door handle, I smiled, and took it off the handle and read it.
“COME TO THE GARDEN”
I placed the note on the chest of drawers, and walked out into the garden where I could smell the twin’s scents, there was a pathway made out of small purple flowers that led towards the tree’s
“What’s going on Ava?” I asked her in confusion, but she had no more idea than I did.
As I walked down the floral pathway, I tried to listen for any noises, but outside sound’s of a few owls in the trees above, I couldn’t hear anything.
When the path wove through a group of trees that led to a small clearing, I found myself engulfed in light, all the trees had been wrapped in white fairy lights, and the ground was completely covered in more purple flowers.
I looked around in shock. What was happening? When I turned around to take everything in, the twins walked out of the tree line, both men were dressed in nice suits, and both looked very pleased with themselves, but also a little nervous.
“Welcome” Koda smiled at me
“What’s going on?” I asked, as I wandered over to them “Is this why you’ve been so strange today? Because you were setting this up?”
“We were planning on waiting until after your first heat, just before the coronation” Jax told me “But seeing as you went into heat early, we had to move up our timeline”
“Time line for what?” I asked in confusion “What’s happening”
“She’s so adorable” Koda shook his head, before looking back at me again “Maddie, we love you, we love you more than we have ever loved anyone, the moment we met you, you had us, heart body and soul”
I blushed. Why was he being so sappy?
“The bond drew us together” Jax told me “But over the past two and a half weeks of knowing you, we understand why we’re mates, and we’re so honored you want us back, you are so kind, and strong, and playful, and beautiful”
“You make us feel like the luckiest men on the planet” Koda told me, at tears of joy filled my eyes, why were they being like this? “I have woken up every day since meeting you, with the largest smile on my face”
“I love falling asleep with you in my arms” Jax touched my face “Even if I have to put up with Koda’s snoring from the other side of the bed for the rest of our lives”
Koda laughed and hit Jax’s arm, before looking at me again.
“Maddie, we know that you’re already marked” He said, as he took my trembling hand “And getting married is just a formality, as you’re already officially ours, but we want to have you in every way possible”
“Married?” I asked, my eyes widening as the twins smiled, and knelt before me.
“Madelyn” Jax spoke my name as if it was the most precious word in existence, and my heart raced wildly “We swear to keep you safe, and promise to show you every day, that you are loved, and wanted”
“We will always treat you as our equal” Koda kissed my hand “And together, we will all be true partners, sharing our lives, and the ruling of the kingdom, and when we have children, we will always be there for you all”
