One Girl Two Mates
Chapter 14

"No bra, dirty little mate." Rafael ran his hand down my throat, dipping down to cup my left b****t. I gasped when his thumb rubbed over my n****e. Diego moaned from where he was restrained, pulling and yanking at the ropes.

"Release him." I demanded in a husky voice as I peered up at Rafael through my lashes. His jaw clenched as he looked at Diego's direction. He looked conflicted, fighting a mental war.

"Please." I asked, cupping his sharp jaw. He closed his eyes and reluctantly stepped away from me, letting out a sigh as he crossed the room. His eyes were locked on mine as he untied Diego's restraints.

Run Diego. I told him in his mind, but he slowly shook his head. Rafael and Diego looked at each other, something unspoken passed between them. I backed away as they stalked towards me.

"W-what are you doing?" They both smiled at me, causing my pulse to quicken.

"Are you afraid, little mate?" Rafael teased as he circled me along with Diego. I felt their dominance rolling off of them, their scents filling my senses.

"Don't be scared, mi amor." Diego husked as he played with a lock of my hair. Rafael stopped, he stood in front of me as Diego stood behind me. The way Rafael's eyes traveled down my body made me clench my legs. Diego stepped up behind me, pressing his front to my back. I gasped when I felt his erection pressing into my back. His hands cupped my waist and his lips trailed across my bare shoulders. Rafael stepped closer, his body only a few inches from mine. His height had him towering over me, I had to tilt my head back just to look up into his eyes. I gasped when one of his strong hands cupped my jaw, the other hand trailed down to meet Diegos on my hip. I glanced down, my heart fluttered as I watched their hands tangle together on my hip.

"Eyes up here, baby." Rafael said as he gently cupped my chin to turn my face towards him.

"Y-you don't love me." A tear ran down my cheek, hurt flashed across Rafael's face. He stepped away from our embrace, an involuntary moan escaped my lips. His hungry eyes flashed to look into mine before he looked away.

"When I was nineteen, I promised myself I would never accept my mate." My heart clenched at his words. Rafael walked over to a small bar set up, pulling out a large glass bottle of amber colored liquid. He poured a glass for himself, he took a long sip with his back turned to us he continued.

"Four years ago we were attacked by rogues, it was one of the biggest attacks I've ever witnessed." He ran a hand down his face and sighed, Diego encircled his arms around my waist, holding me tighter.

"A handful of rogues were able to break into the pack house, my mother was in the process of leading women and children into the basement. She shifted into her wolf to protect them, but there were too many rogues. They killed her, they killed my mother." I felt tears rolling down my cheeks as I felt his pain like it was my own.

"When they killed her, it killed my father, he was like a walking corpse. I had to take over the pack and raise my siblings because he was just gone. He lived for a year until he died of a heart attack and I always told myself that would never be me." He threw back his drink and slammed his glass on the counter.

"I always told myself I'd never let myself become that weak, I wouldn't accept some random woman the Goddess thought I needed." He chuckled dryly, running a hand through his hair. "But here am, not one, but two mates and I'm ready to give you both the f*****g world." He finally turned to look at us, there was torment in his eyes, a war was going on in his mind.

"My father raised us to hate vampires and that humans were beneath us, nothing more than a servant." He strode across the room, stopping before me and to my shock, he dropped to his knees.

"But I want you, Liliana, I want all of you. I want to proudly carry your mark on my neck. I want you to be the first person I see when I wake up. I want to hear your laugh when I tell you jokes that aren't funny. I want to make love to you, I want to watch you swell with my child." Tears rolled down his cheeks. I cupped the sides of his face and used my thumbs to brush away the tears.

"I had this crazy plan that I could just force you and Diego to reject each other. Then I would keep you here, in this basement for the rest of your life. I was going to take a chosen mate, someone I thought would be a proper Luna." He clenched his eyes shut, so many emotions were running through us I felt like I was getting whiplash.

"I am not a good man, but god damn it Liliana you make me want to be a good man. I want to be your man." I pulled him flush against me, hugging him tightly. The things he said tore a hole right into my heart. He wanted to keep me as a dirty little secret as he paraded around another woman.

"I think I need time to think, time to heal. I know we belong together, but you've hurt me, Rafael." I spoke softly as I brushed my fingers through his hair.

"You can have all the time in the world, baby. I'll be here for you, both of you." My heart melted when Rafael looked up, meeting eyes with Diego. "Are we free to go home?" I raised my brow when Rafael frowned.

"I really want to tie you both down and never let you leave." His eyes filled with hunger once more and my thighs clenched together. Rafael was still on his knees, his face was just a few inches above my core. He buried his face against my stomach and took in a deep breath. He reluctantly stood, walking back towards the bar with his back to us.

"Leave, before I throw you both on that bed and have my way with you." Diego and I both shivered at his words.

"We'll be back, I promise." I called out to him as Diego and I headed for the door.

CHARLOTTE POV

After several rounds of hide and seek with my little wolf boy, I'm feeling rejuvenated and like I'm walking on air. During our little fun time we lost control and ended up marking each other. I adjusted my turtleneck as I walked up the giant steps to the De Sangre mansion where Diana now lives. Most vampires aren't very understanding of werewolf and vampire relationships, so I decided to keep a low profile. I knocked on the giant oak door, to my surprise Diana answered the door.

"Charlotte? What are you doing here?" Her long red hair was in a long braid that lay down her back. Her glimmering red eyes were full of delight. I remember when we were younger I sometimes found myself jealous of her and her sister. I always felt like they looked like proper princesses and I just looked like someone that was pretending.

"Hello Diana, I've just come to catch, I feel like it's been centuries since I've seen you." She stepped to the side, laughing lightly.

"You know damn well we are not that old." It was true we're both in our thirties, but physically we stopped aging at twenty five. Most vampires and werewolves lived to one hundred and fifty. Witches on the other hand can live for five hundred years, unfortunately there's not many of those left in the world.

"Would you like some tea? It's infused with O positive blood, my personal favorite." Diana asked as we sat in her tea room.

"That would be amazing, I'm dying of thirst." That was a lie, I almost sucked my wolf boy dry, in more ways than one. I had to be careful not to chuckle out loud at my little perverted joke.

"So, Char, tell me, why are you really here?" I raised my eyes to hers, I sighed as I sipped the delicious tea mixture.

"I guess there's no beating around the bush." I placed the little porcelain cup down on her blood red table.

"I need to ask you some questions about Daria." I watched as her red eyes filled with pain. I knew Daria had died, but I wasn't sure what happened.

"What do you need to know?" She responded with a shaky voice, setting down her own cup on the table.

"Do you remember that last slumber party we had before you were married off?" I watched a sad smile tug at her lips.

"How could I forget? It was the last fun night before I was shipped off to this old bat." Diana rolled her eyes as she gestured to the portrait hanging on the wall behind her. It was a younger Diana with her husband Aaron De Sangre and their two children, Amaris and Draven. She looked miserable standing next to him, his handsome face was void of all emotion. His long black hair was pulled back into a braid, letting his sharp features on full display. His dark skin tone was an intense contrast to his blood red eyes. Look at their two children you would think Aaron made them himself, they looked nothing like Diana. I pulled my attention back to Diana.

"Do you remember what you told me about Daria?" Diana eyed me skeptically.

"What do you mean?" She asked with an arched brow.

"You said she was pregnant." Diana glanced around the room frantically.

"Let's take a walk in the garden, shall we?" She smiled at me tightly as she stood, leading me towards the garden. I followed her lead without saying a word. Once we were deep into the sweet smelling flowers she turned to me.

"I'm sorry, Aaron has little spies, I didn't want to be caught." She looked around us and spoke in a hushed tone.

"Diana, what happened?" Her red eyes were filled with tears when they met mine.

"They killed her, Char, they killed my sister."
