Chapter 34

"How long are they going to be?" Zane mutters as he pouts like the grumpy shit he is.

We got back to the hotel room about an hour ago. We found Edison sitting outside her door, and he told us that Jade went over to Calvin's room about a half hour before we got back.

When we went to see what they were up to, we heard Jade's cries of pleasure. Not hard to tell what they were doing.

"Gotta give the man props. At his age going that long in bed, it's impressive."

I snort. "Dude, he's in his thirties, not sixties."

Griffin just shrugs. "Didn't you two hash it out?" he asks Zane. Zane didn't go into details, but he gave us the rundown.

"Yeah, so?" Zane glares at Griffin.

"Well, you can't get all jelly when they're together, man. Jade will take away your sex privileges again. And dude, you totally missed out on the best sex ever." Griffin chuckles

"Don't fucking remind me. I'm still pissed that you two doubled teamed her for the first time, and I wasn't even able to watch."

"Hey," I say, moving to straddle his lap. He grunts, gripping my hips. I smirk when I feel his cock getting hard under my ass and chuckle. "We have her all the time. You have to learn to share, okay?"

"Fine," he growls, grabbing my ass cheeks. I moan as he pushes me down, grinding his erection into mine. My body flushes with heat as my lips dive down to meet his.

We kiss, and it's dirty as he sucks my tongue and bites my lip. I'm about to beg him to bend me over the couch and shove that thick alpha cock into my ass when Jade's gasp has my head snapping up.

"Hey, Tiny." I give her a lust filled grin, but it slips away at the pure shock and disbelief in her eyes. "What"s wrong?" I ask her, eyes flicking behind her to Calvin who's standing there scratching the back of his head.

"Trouble?" Zane's voice is husky. "Wait, what the fuck is that on your neck!" Zane practically shoves me off as he jumps to his feet. "I'm going to fucking kill you," he snarls at Calvin. "You fucking marked her!"

My eyes widen as I scramble to my feet, Griffin joining me at my side. Zane goes to take a step toward her but she takes a few back, eyes blinking rapidly.

"You're... you're my scent match," she whispers, and all my blood falls from my face. She looks over at Griffin and me, tears in her eyes, a look on her beautiful face like someone sucker punched her in the gut.

"All of you. All of you are my scent match and you didn't tell me. It's been weeks!" she shouts. "And this whole time you've known something so big, so life changing."

"Fucking hell," Zane curses, running a hand through his hair. "Baby, it's not what you think. We didn't lie to you."

"You sure as hell didn't tell me the truth!" she yells in his face.

I bite my lip, my gut twisting, worry settling in as I look over at Griffin. He looks just as at a loss for words as I am.

"Hear us out, please, Tiny," I plead with her knowing that if I leave Zane to handle this he's only going to make it worse by reacting with emotion, letting it get the better of him.

"I feel sick," she says, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

I approach her cautiously. "We wanted to tell you. Right from the start, but our reunion wasn't exactly how any of us were hoping."

"You mean kidnapping me?" she huffs out a humorless laugh.

"And I'd do it again," Zane growls.

"You, shut the fuck up." She points at him.

"We were going to tell you after the shock of everything. With us finding each other, finding out the truth... well, most of it, and then, well... yes, kidnapping you." I try to lighten the mood with a chuckle, but she isn't having it.

"And then... Well, not to be an asshole, this one here tells you that your scent matched and that was another big life changing thing on top of everything you were already going through. We didn't want to pressure you or stress you out. We were waiting until life got a little more relaxed before we did."

"You"re joking right? It didn't take me long with being on the road with you guys to figure out that rock stars don't fucking live relaxed lives!" she shouts.

"Yeah, we should have realized that." I scratch the back of my neck.

"Jelly Bean, please, don't hate us. We didn't do it to be cruel. We really did have your best interest in mind."

She takes a deep breath again, closing her eyes. "This is a lot. Fuck. My brain is going wild, my body is screaming at me. And there's so many conflicting feelings. While I want to be pissed at you for keeping something so big from me, I'm also so fucking thrilled I don't know how to handle it."

Hope fills me, but I don't let it consume me as tears spill from her eyes. "Jelly Bean, please don't cry." Griffin takes a step toward her, but she puts a hand up and shakes her head.

"Do you know how many nights I've dreamed of this? That you three were not only my alphas but my scent matches," she questions, voice cracking. "I would stay up every night knowing you three were in the next room, and I'd pray to whatever God was out there that he would give you three to me. That you would be my alphas, and I'd be your omega. And not only that, but have the universe design me just for you. The hope of that ever being true died when we met again, spent time together and nothing. Because never in my mind did I think you would know I was your scent match and not tell me. So I assumed it didn't happen. But now, I walk in after my alpha blockers have worn off, only to find that it was a lie. That you really are my scent match."

"You can hate us all you want, but we didn't do this to be dicks," Zane growls. "We didn't want to scare you off."

She ignores Zane and looks at me. "Were you ever going to tell me?"

"Yes," I reply quickly. "We were going to wait until the Greece trip. That way we could have more time for you to come to terms and hopefully not hate us."

"When you found out..." she starts with a quiver in her voice. "Were you happy? Or were you disappointed?"

My eyes widen in shock at her question. "Happy? No." I shake my head. "No, Tiny, happy wasn't the word to describe how we felt. We were ecstatic. It was like all our dreams came true the moment we smelled you. We already knew you were ours, you were always going to be ours. That just proved it. You were destined for us as we were destined for you. Being around you, smelling your intoxicating scent, it's been the sweetest hell. Because Tiny, the amount of times we had to keep our hands to ourselves and not ravish you at any moment we could was near impossible. We love you, Jade. We want you for the rest of our lives. We want our marks right next to his."

I take a step forward, my heart thudding in my chest as I bring my hand up to brush it against Calvin's fresh mate mark. She shudders, eyes closing as she takes in a deep breath.

"So you want me? You're happy about this?"

"You're ours, Jade. We were never planning on letting you go," Zane states.

She turns her eyes to Zane. "What if I wanted to leave after the two months were up? You said you would let me go."

"We lied," he growls. "Because there"s no way in hell I'd ever let you go, Jade. Same with these two." He points to Griffin and me. "I would have tracked your sexy ass down and kidnapped you all over again. And if you ran, I'd do it again. If you ran for a third time, I'd lock you in my fucking basement and keep you there forever."

She blinks at him, lips parted. I'm about to chew his ass out for being a crazy fucker and fucking this up when Jade laughs. "You really are batshit crazy."

Zane smirks. "Yes, but mostly for you, Trouble." He winks.

"Holy shit. You three assholes are my scent matches." She laughs.

"We are, Jelly Bean." Griffin grins.

She bites her lip. "I should be pissed, I should be livid that you assholes knew. But..." she sighs heavily. "I'm too fucking happy."

"Really?" My grin gets so wide it takes over my entire face. "You're not mad?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm still fucking pissed. But it's not worth it. Why be angry over something I've wanted for so long. I lost so much time with you three, I don't want to lose anymore."

"I have a confession to make," Calvin chimes in.

"What?" Jade asks.

"I... I kind of knew about them being your scent match. But only since that first night in the hotel when this asshole tried to kick my ass," he confesses, nodding toward Zane.

"I did kick your ass," he snarls.

"No, you didn't babe." Griffin chuckles. "Just gracefully admit defeat on that one."

"Get fucked," Zane snarks, making Griffin laugh harder as he gives Zane a wink.

"It wasn't my place to tell. I do agree, you had a lot going on. But unlike them, I needed to tell you. I've known for a lot longer about being scent matched to you, and I couldn't hold it in anymore."

She takes a moment to just stand there, staring at him. The room stands silent as we wait for her reaction, for her to say or do something.

"Are there any more secrets? Anything else you're keeping from me? Because I'm giving you all one shot to get everything out on the table. If I find out any of you are lying to me—or withholding information from me—after today, it's not going to be good," she warns, shooting us all a glare as she crosses her arms.

"Nothing." I shake my head.

Griffin slowly raises his hand, and Jade huffs. "Yes, Griffin?"

"Does like, secret kinks count? Because there's a lot of them, and I'm not ready to show all my cards yet," he asks, his cheeks pinkening.

Both Zane and I look at him with curiosity.

"No," Jade huffs out a laugh.

"Calvin is a serial killer!" Zane blurts out, and all of our attention swings to him.

"Fucking hell, Zane!" Calvin growls. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"You just fucking heard what she said." Zane waves a hand toward Jade. "And that"s a big fucking thing to find out later on."

Jade spins around and gapes up at Calvin. "Is he being for real right now?"

Calvin sighs, like he's finished with the lot of us. Scrubbing his face with a hand, he looks at Jade. "Yes and no."

"What the heck does that mean?" She blinks and yes, I kind of want to know that too.

"Dude, are you like an assassin?" Griffin asks, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

"No." Calvin gives him a droll look before bringing his attention back to Jade. "Look, I've done things to really bad people who have deserved it. I'm not an evil guy, and I don't just go around offing people for no reason."

"But you've taken a life before," she whispers. Calvin nods, face hard. "When you say bad people you mean..."

"People who enjoy hurting others," Calvin grunts. "And I don't go looking for them. If it happens, it happens."

"So, the people in London?" Jade asks, and Calvin nods again.

"If it means keeping you safe, Jade, I'd kill every single person who lays a fucking finger on you and not even blink."

Jade's pupils dilate as her breathing spikes. We all groan as her peaches and cream perfume fills the air.

"Naughty, Trouble." Zane chuckles. "Does Calvin killing people turn you on?"

"Fuck off," Jade mutters, shooting Zane a glare, but it only makes him laugh.

"Does this... change anything?" Calvin asks her, his eyes searching hers.

"No." She slowly shakes her head. "Because I know you would never hurt me."

"I'd rather die than ever hurt you, Darling," Calvin vows.

"Fucking hell," Jade sighs. "What is wrong with me? How is this even my life?" She moves away from us and sits down on the couch, letting her head rest against the back with her eyes closed.

We all stand there, looking at each other, waiting. We're not sure what to do or where to go with this. This is on her terms.

"Ah, Jelly Bean, you good?" Griffin questions after a minute of silence.

"Nope," Jade replies, not bothering to open her eyes. "The majority of my pack consists of my childhood best friends, who I thought hated me for years, and then popped back into my life unexpectedly only to kidnap me. Oh, and they're also my scent matches, but I only found that out now. Then there's my other alpha, who was once a client I had a crush on, but I denied all the feelings I've had for him. Then he turns out to not only be the brother of one of my long lost best friends, but he's also my scent match. But hey, let's toss in him being a killer too."

Griffin looks at me helplessly, and I give him a pitying look. Poor guy doesn't know how to respond to that.

"Where do we go from here?" Zane asks. "If trigger-happy over here didn't scare you off."

"I don't use guns," Calvin mutters.

"I don't even want to know," Jade sighs and opens her eyes. "But what I do know is this doesn't change how I feel. I love you all. I want you all. I'm not pissed about the fact that you"re my scent matches, I'm pissed that you kept it from me. You want my trust? You have to show me you can be honest, no more secrets."

"Done," we all say at the same time.

"Then, I guess we just move forward?" She shrugs, and now it's her turn to give us a guilty look. "Since we're all here now, we may as well keep talking because you"re not the only one who's been keeping secrets."
