Xavier's stunning honey brown eyes pierced directly into my soul. He had bristly eyebrows, a hawkish nose, chiseled jawline and a sexy physique which often makes one drool. He had this devil-may-care outlook and always keeps this stellar smile.
The aquiline nose he sported complemented his prominent cheekbones. Handsome in an understated way, his basalt jaw and Spartan shoulders spoke of strength. He possessed a latent, leonine power and always walked with purpose and authority.
The sight of his six-pack and abs was enough to make anyone drool.
"I don't want you getting cold, mate." Xavier muttered to me, his breath billowing out like smoke.
"Thanks Alpha Xavier," I replied to him, unable to lock eyes with him. My heart kept beating and I couldn't help but feel shy as he kept his gaze on me.
He smoothened my hair and caressed my cheeks while flashing me that cute stellar smile.
"You don't have to address me with the word 'Alpha', You can always call me by my real name." Xavier said to me and I looked up, maintaining a long gaze with him for the first time.
He stepped forward, filling the little gap, separating us. As he leaned forward, planted a warm kiss on my forehead.
I couldn't quite put my feelings into words, but whatever they were, they were feelings of love and warmth.
I have never felt loved before. I only knew what love meant when I met Carlos.
I am still in awe of the fact that I am the mate of three attractive men who will stop at nothing to have me.
The fact that I'll get love from three different people instead of just one still fascinates me.
Speaking of Carlos, I darted my eyes to check on him.
My eyes widened when I saw him catching a glimpse of Xavier's affectionate display towards me.
I could see some flowers in his hand and I knew he wanted to give me those but couldn't because I was with Xavier at the moment.
His face held a slight trace of sadness. Knowing he'd be sharing me with the others, he'd be left with no choice than to adapt.
Even I wondered why the Moon goddess decided to interlock our fate together.
After Xavier was done kissing my forehead, he smiled and held me gently by the hand.
"It is nine degree Celsius out here and It's really cold. Why don't we join the rest and keep ourselves warm by the fire." Alpha Xavier suggested as he turned to face Carlos and Desmond who were seated on a log of wood.
We strolled back towards them, and I sat down next to Carlos.
Xavier didn't feel jealous seeing us together. He smiled and sat on a thick wood before reaching for some marshmallows.
"Not bad." Xavier complimented after eating a bite of the marshmallow made by Desmond.
"Thanks!" Desmond responded with a grin as he roasted more marshmallows on the open fire.
Carlos who had been quiet before, finally turned to Xavier and said, "You know you act like a total badass, but you're really just a marshmallow once people get to know you."
Xavier grinned and smiled, his face glowing due to the light from the fire.
"What makes you think I'm a badass?"
Carlos smiled after hearing him speak, "You're mean, possessive, commanding, headstrong, uncaring. You know, If I could list all of your annoying qualities, it might take a whole month."
Xavier grinned but before he could reply to Carlos, a soft musical sound from a guitar interrupted him.
It was Desmond who had brought out a guitar to play. His fingers moved swiftly on the strings and he gave me a bright smile which melted my soul.
"Mind If I sing for you, mate," Desmond asked as he turned to face me, his smile captivating and contagious.
I nodded in response, I couldn't wait to hear what his voice would sound like when he sings.
I caught a glimpse of Xavier sighing and rolling his eyes as Desmond started signing.
There was an iota of jealousy in his expression as he watched me nodding in response to Desmond's lyrics.
His voice was amazing and sweet like the charming sweetheart he was. He maintained a gaze with me while singing and I couldn't help but feel special.
Carlos stole the spotlight by giving me some flowers. I couldn't be more happy seeing how united we are.
The love I received from the three of them was enough to make me forget those horrible experience I had while growing up.
I've been bullied, called a witch and a cursed soul and I've never been able to live like normal kids because of the guilt I lived with.
Guilt that made me believe that I killed my own mother.
Maybe this was the reason the moon goddess gave me these three stunning lovely men as mates. They treated me like gold and a piece of egg and I couldn't be more thankful.
I didn't know when I dozed off and I could feel my cheek being pecked by one of them. I was carried In a bridal style and made to lie on a futon in my tent.
"Good night, mate." A voice whispered in my ear and I was certain it was Desmond.
I could smell his scent and I couldn't help but blush inwardly when I felt him move closer to me.
"Sweet dreams." He said lastly before giving me a kiss on the cheek.

The weather was clearing up as dawn began to linger. Since it was still early in the morning and we were still in the woods, we had to carry on with our journey.
We have to make it to Goldmoon Pack today.
"Catch!" Xavier said as he tossed a bottle of water to Carlos. "We'll need enough water to continue our journey."
"Morning, mate. How was your night and I hope you slept well?" Desmond asked as he crawled into my tent. I was the last to wake and I'm sure they made me sleep to my satisfaction without bothering me. I was accustomed to rising early since I lived as an omega at the pack, so it wasn't surprising that I woke up early.
Being an omega was not easy. It simply meant not having a simple life. We were made to sleep late and wake very early to continue strenuous works at the pack.
"My night was fine, how about yours?" I replied him with a smile and he brought out my hand to give it a gentle kiss.
"Mine too was fine, my lady,".
"Everything is ready and the horses are set." Desmond reminded me.
"Then I guess we can start moving."
"Urm.. I think you need to have a bath first my lady. I've got extra clothes for you in my bag pack." Desmond suggested and I stood up before approaching him.
"You're so sweet." I muttered as I dragged his cheek before leaving.
He stood transfixed to a spot, his eyes wide in shock with his cheek turning red from blushing.
After having my bath, I realized I forgot to take my cloth with me. It was still in my tent so I was left with no choice but to wrap myself with my towel.
My mates had been anticipating my return from my river bath. I could read concern on every one of their faces. They had kept a safe distance away so they wouldn't have to watch me as I took a bath.
Their eyes widened as soon as I showed up in my white towel. My hair was wet and sticky to my face, accentuating my perfect oval head. The towel was quite short and it revealed my perfect flawless laps. My curves were visible in my towel and there were beads of water on my soft white skin.
My three mates couldn't take their eyes off me. It was like they'd just seen something angelic and unusual.
I smelled of rose and lavender and they couldn't resist my strong scent.
Xavier was starting to droop and Desmond seem to have lost himself as he kept staring at me.
"Y- you have to get dressed, Camelia. We'll be leaving in no time." Carlos finally broke the silence as he walked up to me.
"Sure," I replied with a smile and after a while, I returned in a green gown with beautiful gem stones on it.
Xavier carried me and helped me get on my horse. As Carlos were about to mount on his horse, an arrow was hurled in his direction and he was swift to duck.
We looked in the direction at which it was thrown and we were shocked to see three huge men with a cross mark on their forehead.
We knew they were hybrids because that mark was an identification for them.
They were hefty, muscular and as tall as giants. Their faces were scary and they looked aggressive as their teeth jolted out in their mouth.
We knew these hybrids were part werewolves, part vampires.
They are known for their strength and desire for power.
They never had businesses with werewolves and Lycans but I wondered why these ones in particular were trying to attack us.
I also wondered why they attempted to attack Carlos first.
When one of them had his eyes fixed on me, I shuddered as his stare alone sent chills down my spine.
My three mates dismounted their horses and brought out their swords, ready to fight back at them.
"Take her back to the tent." Desmond said to Carlos who approached me and gripped me tightly.
