Broken Mates
Chapter 25

I'm shameless, I know. No need to tell me. Tristan: We finally agree on something. Author:..........

*****

Jake knew right away when his eyes fell on the two gorgeous men that they were his mate. The black hair guy with golden eyes and the red hair with red eyes, who were staring at him as if they had the same realisation as he had.

They were his mates. The black hair guy with golden eyes smelled like a dragon while the red hair with red eyes smelled like an alpha wolf. He was an alpha. Alphas couldn't be trusted. They couldn't be trusted. And in this particular room, he was surrounded by them.

He has finally found them. Though he didn't think he would have two mates. He still found them. But there was a problem. One was an alpha and he hated alphas, he hated alphas, his wolf hated and more than that, he feared them.

But more than fear, he had this urge to go over to his mates and hug them. He wanted to hug them so tight and cry out.

But he also didn't want to be anywhere near that red hair alpha who was his mate. Where the deities playing a prank on him? Why did they give him an alpha mate? He couldn't mate him!!. Considering everything he went through in those alpha's hands, he didn't think he could stand being mated to one. But he also knew he couldn't stand being away from the red hair alpha. He wanted the man. He wanted both his men but his wolf was too scared, too cautious. He wanted to run. Anywhere would do. Where was Tristan anyway? He cried out desperately, he only came with that alpha and the beta because they knew Tristan.

And they also had prove as he saw with his own eyes 'a picture of a smiling happily Tristan and them' Now!

What was he going to do? He wanted to run! Anywhere will do!!

Jake started struggling in Rex's arms.

And like Colten could read his mind, he walked slowly towards them. The nearer he was, the more Jake struggled. And when he was finally close, Rex stepped aside.

Jake thought he has finally found his way out but he was wrong. He froze. His whole body frozen in place when he saw the tears streaming down his (Colten) eyes. They wouldn't happy tears. His mate was heartbroken.

Jakes sat still on the couch and watched as a crying Colten closed their distance and wrapped his hands around his neck, drawing him into a hug. He hugged Jake so tight, trembling. Jake didn't know why his mate was this heartbroken and he didn't know how he could help.

But, he did the only thing he could do, he hugged Colten back.

"You finally came Jake" and at Colten's breath gracing Jake's ear, the guy shivered. Uh, he remembered this voice. This was the voice he heard on the phone the last time he called Tristan. This was the voice that made him hang out during all those abuse and torture he was going through. This was the voice that made him sleepless even from how tired he was after the alphas abused him. This was the voice that kept him alive.

Trembling, he begun to cry. He didn't know what happened, but all the tears he held back after hearing this man, his mate's voice came out. The tears he held back while they were abusing him, tormenting him, using his precious body, all the tears came out with no alert of stopping anytime soon.

Stroking his hair gently and comfortingly, Colten whispered, "You did well"

*******************

After an hour of crying none stop, Jake finally calmed down but he refused to part from Colten and also refused to let anyone else come close except Rex who was also sitting on the left side while Colten sat on his right with him (Jake) in his arms, holding his hands for comfort.

Chris also wanted to be there, beside his mates. But, remembering the fear and hatred he saw in his mate's eyes before, though it was hard, he kept his distance, sitting beside Lvan, Corey and Roy.

His mate would glance at his direction now and then but he would also immediately look away. Chris felt that sharp pain whenever Jake looked away. And Colten, he hasn't even spare him a single glance since they all settled down. Damnnit! Just what wrong did he do now?!

Lvan, the alpha of the pack has already introduced them to Jake. His mates names were Colten and Chris. The black hair and golden eyes was Colten while the red hair was Chris. Their names were nice as he excepted. And not just their names but their looks too. He just hope they also had nice attitudes.

They? Was he counting Chris too? But he was an alpha and he hated them. He feared them. How was he supposed to handle being in the same room as Chris? How would he allow Chris to touch him? Most of all, how would he allow Chris to claim him?! He was done for!

Sandy brought juice and placed it on the table, quietly leaving afterwards as she knew she wasn't welcomed. Uh, she really wanted to see the guest they had in the leaving room. He was omega, she knew that much but didn't even get a single glance at him as she had her head lowered.

"Do you want some?" Colten asked gently and in a soft tone. Jake nodded, agreeing. His mate wasted no time, got up and went for the glass of juice which Sandy brought. Jake felt the absence of Colten's body, his warmth and now, he was regretting ever agreeing to have the juice.

He didn't get to miss Colten that long because the man came as quickly as he left. He handed Jake the juice and he smiled at him, thanking him. He took a sip.

Again, it wasn't enough. He had Colten yet it still wasn't enough, he needed his other mate. He glanced at Chris's direction. The man looked sad, of course he was. He just found his mate and his mate didn't want to be anywhere near him.

'Alphas can't be trusted, you know that' his wolf reminded him of the one thing he wanted to forget. Way to go my wolf.

He averted his eyes from Chris and drunk the rest of his juice. After finishing the glass of juice, Rex took the glass and placed it on the center table.

Taking his seat back, Jake smiled at the omega, grateful he didn't give Colten a chance to get up again. Rex winked at him and he knew right then, that Rex knew his little panicking when Colten got up. How embarrassing. He looked down, not wanting to meet Rex's eyes. And Rex found this amusing. Having Jake around was going to be fun, he just knew.

"W.....where's Tris?" Jake nervously asked. He was scared out of his mind. There was an alpha-no, alphas. There were alphas in the room. What was he going to do if they charged at him. He was so scared and knew it was just a matter of time before he released his pheromones. And if that happens, he will be a dead man.

"You have nothing to fear Jake. I'm here" Colten gently said as he placed his hand on Jake's lap. Feeling Colten's touch was magical, it was comforting. He wondered if Chris's touch will have the same feeling.

He immediately shook his head to clear that thought. Chris was an alpha. Sigh, what was he going to do? He had two options, one, reject Chris and ran away with Colten and two, face his fears for alphas and allow Chris into his life, his mind, his heart. Although he has already taken them.

They had already taken them. It has only been an hour and more, and he felt like he was already falling for his mates. What a mess he was in?

With the two options, he knew the first option wasn't agreeable. And the second, was going to prove to be hard. Very hard.

Come to think of it, what was going to happen to them now? Colten and Chris would have to share him. What did they think about that? were they in disagreement? Or were they having second thoughts.

Huh, this won't get him anywhere. He need to talk with Tristan, "Where's Tristan?" He asked, not meeting Ivan's gaze. Lvan smiled, before saying, "He will be here anytime soon. I told him you're here"

"I see" Jake said, his head lowered. This guy was an alpha, and he had Tristan's scent on him. Did he do something to his friend? Was his friend going through the same thing he went through? He didn't want Tristan to go through what he went through. It was horrible. Horrible.

His body begun to shake, seeing this, Colten wrapped his hands around this shoulders, concern for Jake clouding his face. He was just about to reassure Jake that it was okay, that he was in good hands and nothing bad was going to happen to him. But his attention was taken away when the entrance door opened and closed

"Jake!!" That was Tristan's voice, and the next minute they knew, Tristan was standing at the entrance of the living room, breathing heavily, his eyes on no one but Jake.

Without a second thought, Jake pulled out of Colten's arms and rushed to his friend, throwing his hands around his neck and hugging him so tight. Tristan hugged him back, crying.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't come for you early" Jake shook his head, ignoring Tristan's words. It wasn't Tristan's fault. It was all because of those greedy old people. It was all their faults. He went through so much, but now, it was okay. He had his mates with him. And.......and h......he was going to try his best to adjust to the fact that Chris was an alpha. He was going to try his best not to push him away or scream at his face, or slap him across the face, scratch him like a cat or try to kill him in his sleep as he did with the alphas who abused him. Chris wasn't like that, right?, he was his mate after all.
