The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Ninety-Four

"But he rejected me. I shouldn't have those feelings for him. It, it feels... wrong." My eyes burned

as I spoke and I swallowed hard, trying to fight down what I was feeling. He should be mad at

me.

I could handle that.

I deserved for my mate to be mad at me for still having those feelings. For still being drawn to Nick.

"I wanted to kiss him, I didn't. But I wanted to."

Jay took a moment, studying me with his piercing dark gaze. There was a flicker of something there that I couldn't name before it was gone. I didn't know if it was anger or something else. He was shielding me from the bond that I shared with both him and Killian. He had been all evening and I didn't like not knowing what he and our other mate were feeling.

"Sweet girl." Jay stroked my chin with a soft touch. His finger moved up to the side of my face. "Nothing you did was wrong. You came to me about it, you have no idea how happy that makes me. Those feelings don't just go away, they may never go away. There is just one question I have."

"What is it?"

Jay dragged his tongue over his lower lip and my gaze flicked down to his full lips. Desire pulsed through me and I wanted to kiss him. He was being so understanding of this situation and not making me feel like I was the worst kind of person.

"The question is, Olivia, what do you want to do about it?" His voice was husky and his pupils grew dark. "Are you going to act on those feelings?

I leaned back slightly. What did he mean?

What did I want to do about it? Did I want to act on those feelings?

Had he misheard what I'd said? He should have been pissed at me, I was confessing to him that I still had feeling for my fated mate. And he was asking me if I wanted to act on those feelings. Confusion and anxiety started to well up in me and my throat started to grow tight. Was this some sort of trick that he was playing with me?

"Jay."

"Answer me, Olivia." He said. His words were a low growl. "I need to know... What do you want to do? Are you going to act on those feelings? Killian and I've shared partners before, if we were to share you with Nick... He would need to be properly punished for hurting you before I would feel comfortable with him touching you in any way. You are mine and I take care of what's mine, Killian and I both do."

"Punished?" I asked, worrying my lower lip. The reminder that I was his helped chase away some of my worry. But punishing Nick, what type of punishment was he talking about? Was he talking about spanking Nick or maybe something else?

"Punished, yes." Jay said, his lips ghosting into a dark smile before he pressed his lips to mine in a quick kiss. "At the cabin Killian and I have several different things that we like to us - mostly on him, but I wouldn't mind using them on Nick." He grinned, tucking his tongue behind a sharp fang-like canine tooth. "Or you, when you are ready for it."

A knock from the door made me pull away from him. I looked towards the door. Feeling relieved that Killian was going to be with us so I could tell him about this afternoon and get his take on things. I wondered if he would feel the same way as Jay did?

"You should get that." Jay smirked, caressing my cheek one last time before he stood up. "I'll put our little lady to bed and join you."

I watched Jay as he moved over to Everly, picking her up in his arms. She looked up at him with wide eyes. I'd already nursed her and it was around the time she normally started to get cranky. "If you need me to help you-"

Jay was turning towards the bedroom, he looked over at me. Softly patting her back with his large hand. "I'll let you know if I need your help. See to Killian."

Nodding, I unfolded my legs and stood. I made my way over to the door, swinging it open to look up at Killian and the last person I expected to see right now. Nick.

My eyes moved between both Killian and Nick. They were covered in scrapes and their clothing was disheveled. Killian's knuckles were bleeding and there was a bruise blooming just beneath Nick's left eye on his cheekbone. Both of them looked guilty and were refusing to look at me. I reached out, pulling them into the house and closing the door.

"What happened?" I asked, leading them both into the kitchen before making them sit at the table as I turned away to grab the first aid kit beneath the sink. I sat the red and white box onto the table, grabbing Killian's hand to twist it around.

Already his skin was knitting back into place. It wasn't a bad scrape and I knew that I didn't need to clean it off. It would heal just fine, but he was my mate and I didn't like seeing him hurt. I looked at Nick, he wasn't healing as fast but I still didn't want him to be hurt either.

Neither one of them said anything and I tried to think about what could be going on in the pack. Nick hadn't been around enough for there to be some issue unless he'd stirred up trouble in the short time that he had been back. The same could be said for both Killian and Jay. They were guests of Micheal's and had permission to be in packlands. For someone to hurt them would be considered a direct challenge to the alpha.
