The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Thirtynoveldrama

"She's with us," Jay stated, stepping in front of me as if he could protect me from anything that Nick might say or do.

"She's my mate." He said.

"Was your mate." Killian growled.

Nick stepped forward and I reached forward, grabbing Jay's hand. I didn't want them to fight, Nick may have hurt me but he was still Everly's father and Jay and Killian were guests on pack lands. Nick, even if he was a jerk, was still part of my pack until Jay and Killian claimed me as their own. "Please, just, let's get out of here."

"Livie."

"Jay, please." I begged. My knees felt weak and it felt like fire was moving through my veins. If I didn't get out of here, away from the pheromones of the shifters grinding on the dance floor, I was going to go out of my skin with need.

Jay turned back to look at me, his dark eyes studying my face before his shoulders relaxed and he threaded his fingers through mine. "Okay, let's get you out of here."

We walked past Nick and I could see his face fall as he caught sight of me. It was like he had lost something that he wanted and I didn't know how to interrupt that look. He had rejected me, not the other way around. I hadn't done anything to hurt him. He had made me feel wanted and then thrown me to the side. Leaving for college while I stayed home and had a baby on my own. I had tried to text him when I'd found out that I was pregnant and he had texted me back to take care of it.

That was the last time I had talked to him. I was lucky that his parents hadn't turned me away. That they wanted to be in Everly's life. That Jose had let me pick up enough shifts to take care of the bills so that I could take care of my baby. Gloria was more than I could ask for with the help that she gave me. It was more than my own mother did for me.

When she found out that I had been rejected and was pregnant, she had kicked me out of the house. If I hadn't been part of a pack, I don't know what I would have done. Most of my friends had abandoned me after that. No one wanted to hang around with someone who was rejected. Like being around me would make their future mates reject them, too.

My eyes watered and I clenched my jaw, grinding my teeth together to keep from crying. I had cried over Nick plenty and I wasn't going to let him see me cry now. He didn't deserve it. Tonight was supposed to be a happy night and I wasn't going to let him ruin it for me. Killian leaned over, pressing a kiss to my temple before they led me out the front door of Moonlight. The cool night air felt good on my overly hot skin. We walked down the sidewalk, heading towards Jay and Killian's bikes. Jay stopped walking, Killian let his arm slip from around my shoulders to my waist before he let me go.

Jay tugged me forward, wrapping his arms around me. I breathed in the scent of him. He smelled like warm coffee with spices and cedarwood. My hands shook as I tangled them into his shirt, trying to stomp down on my feelings of being unworthy of them.

"Are you okay?" He asked, hugging me tight against his chest.

"Yes." I said, shaking my head.

He chuckled a soft sound. His hand moved up to touch the skin that my tank top didn't cover. "Sweet girl, it's okay to tell us if you're not okay. I can't take care of you properly if you're not honest with me."

"I will be." I whispered against his chest. I wasn't just talking about being honest with him. But I would be okay. This was the first time I had seen Nick since he had rejected me and I had not expected it to affect me the way that it had.

Jay tucked his finger underneath my chin, tilting my head up so that he could look me in the eye.

"I mean it, Olivia. I'll always take care of you. Always protect you."

I pressed up onto my toes, pressing my lips to his and he let out a groan. "So sweet."

"You should taste her." Killian chuckled from behind me. His body pressed against mine and I was sandwiched between the two dragons.

"I think I will." Jay growled, tangling his fingers into Killian's hair. I watched the two of them kiss over my shoulder, feeling the hard press of Killian's erection against my lower back. The heat of desire swept through me again and I whimpered, pressing my thighs together to try to get some sort of friction.

***Nick POV***

Swiping my thumb across the screen of my phone, I thought about what Miguel had told me. Olivia was out on a date with two men. I hated how hearing that had made my stomach drop. That she could so easily move on from me.

I couldn't blame her, we'd had sex and then I had gotten cold feet. Rejected her without thinking about the consequences, but after the heat had faded, all I could think about was the fact that I had a girlfriend and I had just cheated on Chelsea. I know that I hadn't handled it well, but she and I had so many plans for the future. We were in college and I had built up my entire life around her.

Then one trip to my parents' house during spring break, Livie and I had bumped into each other and everything had changed. I hadn't been able to control myself when I caught the scent of her. My wolf had risen to the surface and all I could think about was her. Taking her and making her mine, claiming her.
