Twisted Fate (UN-EDITED)

Chapter 22

I stop struggling and look up into his eyes. “Do you promise” I say knowing how much my voice sounds uncertain.

“I promise with all that I am” Xavier says.

“And I promise to Princess” Alex says walking into the living room and coming to kneel in front of us.

I look into both of their eyes and see nothing but truth, honesty, and love. I smile at them and say “I believe you.” They smile back and both kiss me on my cheeks at the same time and I can’t help but giggle.

“Aria we want to ask you something” Alex says getting serious.

“Okay” I say looking between the both of them worried. Did I just get my hopes up to have them crushed? I knew I shouldn’t have believed them. I start to panic but I try to hide it because I know they can hear my heart beat.

“We want to know if we can mark you” Xavier says. “We will wait to complete the mating till you are ready but we want to mark you now.”

I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding and both look at me accusingly. “Um” and before I can say anything else Alex butts in.

“You really thought that we were going to reject you after we just promised we never would” he says sounding hurt. I look at him and give a small strained smile.

“It wouldn’t have been the first time someone got my hopes up just to crush them” I whisper softly. I hear two deadly growls and look at them. Alex’s eyes have turned black and he is shaking and Xavier is also shaking and his fangs are elongating. I grab Alex by the hand and make him sit on the arm of the chair and I bury my face into Xavier’s neck. I feel Xavier calm down instantly and Alex puts his face in my hair breathing in my scent making him calm down. I breath in Xavier’s scent and it smells like honey mixed with a strong manly spice. I think this is one of my new favorite smells besides Alex’s scent which is the woods on a fall night with a hint of honey.

“Aria we will never do that to you. Will you let us mark you” Xavier says with an edge to his voice still.

Not being able to speak through the lump in my throat I nod my head yes. I feel myself being lifted and carried up the stairs. Once we are back in our room Xavier sits me on the bed while he sits on my left and Alex sits on my right.

“Okay this might hurt at first but it will go away we promise” Alex says I nod my head and take a look at each of them.

“We are going to mark you at the same time” Xavier says moving my hair away from my neck. Alex does the same and they both lean in.

“Are you sure you are okay with this Princess” Alex asks me one last time.

“Yes” I whisper. I guess that was enough because I feel Xavier’s fangs and Alex’s canines pierce each side of my neck. The pain of the initial bites was excruciating and I wanted to scream but I didn’t. Seconds later the pain turned into pleasure and I couldn’t help the small moan that escaped my lips. I guess that was what they were waiting for, because as soon as they heard that they removed their teeth and licked their marks.

“You are now ours and no one else can have you” Xavier growls and then he kisses me gently.

 As soon as he stops kissing me Alex turns my head toward him and says “you are ours now Princess” and kisses me roughly, I can tell his animal is in control. After he breaks the kiss he rests his head on the side of mine and Xavier rests his on the other side. All of a sudden my wrist begin to feel like they are on fire and I can’t help the scream that comes out.  

“What’s wrong” Xavier and Alex ask frantically. I can’t say anything so I just look down at my wrist. They follow where I am looking at and gasp. The marks I had of the roses from before are making their permanent mark on my wrist.
