Mate ...s ?!?!

[Jaxson’s POV]

Orion’s awake!!! He’s awake!!! Finally!!!

Yes!!! Yes!!!

Jace and I followed our mom into the room that Orion had been sleeping in. It was our bedroom but it had become a mini hospital for Orion while he slept and healed. It has been three days and now I get to see him again and it was not fast enough for me. I needed Orion like I needed the air I breathed.

Mom slowly opened the door, hoping not to startle anyone inside. “We are coming in, Orion.” she called softly.

“You brought them?!” Orion called softly but his voice held happiness and need.

“Of course, I did little one. You need them, just as much as they need you.” mom said as we all came into the room.

Orion was sitting propped up in the massive bed, with machines around him on Jace’s side of the bed, all leading to his left arm. However, I could see that Sasha was methodically shutting down all the machines as Hayle took Orion’s blood pressure again.

Orion looked up at us, his face very pale but the happiness in his eyes and on his face when he saw us was all we needed to settle. Jace and I were more than happy to see him awake and moving.

He lifted his hand to reach for us and we were instantly at his side, Jace climbed into the bed being very careful of the leads and wires to be next to him. “We have missed you little star.” Jace said nuzzling into Orion’s neck a little.

“I’m sorry boys. I didn’t know I would need all of this sleep.” he said, his face falling a little. His shoulders slumping as he leaned into Jace more.

I sat on the bed carefully, scooting in close to them both, “How do you feel? Do you feel better than you did before?” I asked curiously but very seriously.

“So very much better. I feel like I can really breathe now. I haven’t been able to do that in a long time. I haven’t stood up yet but Hayle says that my leg shouldn’t hurt either and since I haven’t had any aches from it, I believe him.” Orion replied reaching for me. I took his hand and placed it on my face, inhaling his scent. That wonderful honey, vanilla and cotton candy mix was intoxicating but he also smelled of chocolate and forest. He was mine and Jace’s Mate after all and he bore our Marks.

I was thinking about that for a moment and then it dawned on me. That was what was healing him so fast now. He was now an Alpha Omega. He wasn’t just a normal Omega anymore he was our Lunos. We had Marked him and that meant far more than we had realized.

“Mom, can I speak to you for a moment please.” I said looking at her as I stood and went to the door. She looked at me and nodded before following me out of the room and into the hallway.

I went down the stairs and back into the kitchen, just far enough from everyone so they couldn’t hear me talk. I needed this to stay between us for now at least. “I have a few questions and I really don’t need sass or attitude. I need understanding and wisdom.” I said as I sat at the bar facing her.

She sat opposite of me a very stoic look on her face. “You have it son. Tell me what is troubling you.” She was actually serious as she looked at me and I was happy she was taking me seriously because I needed that.

“When we were alone for a few days we Marked Orion. Before he was out under the medications, there were a few times when his memories have been pushed into our minds and we know a lot about what happened to him in the past. Its part of the reason I went to get Hayle to begin with. I needed to get Orion the medical help he needed and his Wolf had been reaching out for it. Now that he is awake and I see how well he is doing, I think he has some Alpha abilities.” I said a thoughtful look on my face as I looked at my mom.

She only looked at me with that stoic stone look, not showing any emotion as she listened to what I had to say about my concerns. “I have many things to say about the two of you Marking him so early. However, what you did might have save that poor boys very life so I will not scold you for doing something so damned stupid. Being Marked by an Alpha does grant their Mate certain abilities that most don’t get from others. Orion is already a special type of Wolf because he is a pure White Wolf. The White Wolf is blessed by our Goddess and he has already shown signs of magical power now that he has been fed. Now that Orion has been Marked by his Alpha Mates, he has gained more abilities. I do not know what that will do to his chemical make-up but I do know that he will not have a good time if the two of you push him too far. He is still mentally healing from his past. You both know this. He needs to adjust to being loved and cared for. Take care of that first. The rest will fall into place.” she said, her voice soft and filled with understanding.

“Did you get an extra ability when dad Marked you?” I asked curiously. Wondering if my own mother had been different before she had met my father.

“Absolutely. I used to have to wear glasses and I was a sickly little thing. When we first came together and your father Marked me, the next day I was stronger and healthier than I had ever been. I could walk on my own and see without any problems. I was able to finally shift and your father took me running for the first time in my life and I had the best time of my life.” she said a bright smile coming to her face as she remembered that special day of her life.

“D-do you think it will be like that for Orion?” I asked with hope in my voice. I wanted my little Mate to have a filling life. Just like my own Omega Mother.

“That depends on you and your brother, Jaxson. You are his Mates not me, not your father. Your father granted me a wonderful life filled with happiness and a family. The two of you have to decide on how you treat him not us.” she said before turning to go back to where Orion and Jace were. Leaving me to think about her words.

She was right of course and I had to really think about how I was going to keep both of my Mates happy at all times. I didn’t have to worry about keeping just Orion happy. Jace was not just my twin brother. He was my Mate and I needed to really think on how I was going to keep them both happy.

I sat in the kitchen for a few minutes before Jace reached out for me, ‘Jax?’ he called out softly, his mind a little scared but mostly worried.

I smiled a little to myself, ‘I’m fine baby. I promise. I was just thinking about a few things.’ I thought as I stood and began making my way back to Jace and Orion.

I could feel Jace’s curiosity, ‘Do I get to know what you were thinking about?’ he asked softly. I could tell he was trying not to anger me but he wanted to know. He always wanted to know what kept my mind so far from his. He was not as strong as I was but he always did his best to keep up with me.

He was so fucking cute when his curiosity got to him. I loved my adorable little Jace when he got curious. He would scrunch his face up like he was trying to decipher the questions of the universe. I could have lived just watching him like that for eternity and be happy. Now, we had Orion and I couldn’t wait to find something like that with him. I wanted to find all the missing pieces of both my boys and never stop looking for more.

I opened the door to the room to see both Jace and Orion sitting up in the bed, watching a cartoon on the drop-down TV. “I will tell the both of you what I have on my mind.” I said aloud. I have no reason to hide my worries from them. They were everything to me and I needed them to know because I wanted to know when they had fears and worries.

Jace and Orion looked up at me curiously, before they both reached out for me. Need in their eyes as they practically begged for me to join them in the bed. I couldn’t resist them so I found myself crawling in the bed with me wrapping them both in my arms. Letting them settle against me. This felt like heaven to me.

Orion whimpered a little as he nuzzled his way against my chest, his fingers in Jace’s hair. Hayle and Sasha had finished unhooking him and had taken those machines away and thankfully disappeared themselves. Now it was just the three of us to enjoy our bedroom. “What has you so sad?” he asked softly, trying to get closer to me.

I sighed; I wasn’t really sad but I supposed it was the only word that could be used in this situation. “I’m worried about both of you really, baby boy.” I said truthfully.

Jace sat up quickly to look at me dead in the eyes, a serious look in his eyes. “What’s that mean?” he asked, well demanded really. I smiled, my demanding little Alpha.

“Calm down, honey. I mean, I’m worried about Orion’s health for starters and …. I’m worried about being able to keep you both happy.” I blurted out at the end. I was fine at the beginning but I was kinda scared to finish my sentence so I just sort of blurted it out. I was supposed to be the stronger one in this relationship but right now I just felt a little lost.

They looked at me with complete shock. Orion had actually picked his head up off my chest to stare openly at me. I guess he was not really used to having someone say something like that to him. He’s probably used to being the one to say that.

“Jax, you have always made me happy. Just because Orion is with us now does not mean any of that is going to change. Yes, we went through a very hard time but we are still together and we will still be together for the rest of our lives.” Jace said pulling my face up to meet his gaze. His eyes filled with love and understanding. Jace was so strong, in his own way and it helped to keep me above my own failings. It always has.

I smiled at him, leaning in to place a gentle kiss on his lips. “I love you, both of you, and I don’t want you to forget that.” I said looking from Jace to Orion. Placing my hand on Orion’s face to pull him up and gently kiss him as well.

“I love you both too.” Orion said getting looks of pure happiness from both me and Jace.

We had been waiting to hear those words from our little Omega. Jace kissed him deeply, getting a light moan from our little Omega. When Jace pulled away I couldn’t help myself and swooped in to kiss Orion myself. I had to taste him. He had been missing from our lives for three days and it was a hellish fucking three days. He was in my arms but somehow it just wasn’t enough and I felt like I was not the only one to feel like this.

Orion put his hand on my chest, pushing me back a little, he didn’t have to use a lot of force but he didn’t need it to make me stop what I was doing. I didn’t want to hurt him. I pulled away and looked into his beautiful blue eyes, the ones I could drown in, “Hayle said that I needed to be careful still for the next few days. If I don’t it could hurt me. I’m scared of going too far right now.” he whispered and if we weren’t Wolves Jace and I wouldn’t have heard him.

“We weren’t told any of this my little star. Thank you for stopping me. I would hate myself for the rest of my life if I ever hurt you.” I said running my fingers along his face gently. Leaning forward to kiss his forehead softly.

“Remember, little star you are the most important thing to us both. You need to let us know when you feel any type of pain or fear or anything at all. We cannot help or keep you safe if you don’t tell us.” Jace said coming around me to gather Orion in his arms.

“I was afraid you would be angry with me for not being able to do anything.” Orion said, shock in his voice as he looked at us. Jace was cradling Orion in his arms like a small child and Orion seemed to like it very much. I was enjoying watching the two of them, it was a warm sight to see.

“We were told about every single thing that was wrong. We understand that you need to rest and heal even while you are awake.” I said with a warm smile on my face, wanting to get closer to them but not wanting to hurt Orion.

“We are just very happy you are awake and we will make sure you get anything you want or need.” Jace said as he pulled me into the hug loosely. Orion giggled and wrapped his arm around my neck to make sure he wasn’t squished and we made sure to balance his small weight between us.

“Right now, I want my Mates to cuddle with me while I sleep.” Orion said, getting Jace and I to chuckle. We both kissed his head and settled down in the bed, pulling the blankets up over the three of us, Orion snuggled in the middle of us.

“Good night our little starlight.” I whispered as Jace, Orion and myself fell into a very peaceful sleep.
