22 Tears

Taila POV 

"Please" I cry out, as I watch Christian walk out and close the door behind him. I feel my knees give out and prepare to hit the floor, but the feeling of the cold tile floor never comes. Instead, I am held up for my other two mates that really want me. Everything has felt different since I woke up. I can smell the slight difference between their scents, both smell of fresh rain, but Bryson has a distinct addition of peppermint, while Kaizen is fresh rain and cashmere. 

"He's not going far love, just for a run. He is angry with himself." says Bryson. But I know he really doesn't want me. He did not want a human for a mate. 

'But we are not human' 

"What?" I ask not realizing what happened. I take a sharp deep breath realizing that no one else heard that but me. Bryson gives me a funny look and starts to repeat himself. "Sorry, not you, I thought I heard someone else." 

'That's because you did' 

Startled, I jump and suddenly remember, Talela. That must have been her. 

'Talela, was that you?' 

'Yes, who else did expect?' 

'Honestly I thought it might have been a dream' I laugh to myself. 

'Defiantly not a dream.' she says with a laugh. 

"Taila" I hear one of my mates call for me. I shake my head, gather my balance and turn into their arms and let out a sob that I didn't even know I was holding in. "Darling, are you okay?" Kaizen asks.

"I will be." I tell him. I hold my head up to look at my mates that truly want me. I have never seen them together, so I try and take in the tiny differences in their features. "Sorry, but which one of you is who?" I say realizing that I have no clue. 

"I am Kaizen darling" So Kaizen has the gold eyes smells of cashmere, I reach out my hand hoping he doesn't pull back from me. I take my fingers and gently glide them over his forehead, down to his cheek over his short beard, down to his chin, pausing a minute to take a step into him. As I step, I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen and doubling over in pain, pain that I have never felt before in my life. I feel Kaizen scoop me up and lay me on the bed. "I've got you. Tell us what's going on darling." 

As the pain lessens and start to gain my bearings once again. "I'm okay now" I tell them, as see that they are both looking at me with looks of concern. I can feel Bryson squeeze my hand as he sits on the bed next to me.  "The pain is normal after a miscarriage happens, I just need to rest." I feel Bryson lean in and place a kiss on my forehead before he stands up. 

"Love, I am going to fetch us some food, you need to eat something. Kaizen will stay with you okay." I nod my head and close my eyes to rest just a few minutes. I hear him walk slowly to the door, he stops, "Kaizen, I'll bring enough for you as well, please don't leave her alone." 

"I don't plan on it, brother. I will take care of our mate." I hear Kaizen tell him, then I hear the door close gently. "Darling, do you need me to get you anything?" He asks. His voice sounds almost identical to Bryson, except he has a joyful sound as he speaks. My heart flutters every time he calls me darling, and I cannot help but smile. I know nothing about Kaizen but I enjoy how he makes me feel. 

"Will you tell me about you?" I have this urge to learn about him. It doesn't matter what it is, I'll listen to whatever he wants to tell me. He smiles and walks back to me sits beside me. 

"What do you want to know darling? I'll tell you anything you want to know." I smile at him still taking in his facial features. 

We spend the next hour just learning the simple things about each other. His favorite color is orange and favorite food is steak, medium rare of course. I'll have to remember and cook that for him for dinner one night, I tell myself.  After my twenty questions he looks at me nervously like he wants to tell me something, but holds back. 

"What's wrong Kaizen?" I ask him hoping he will open up to me.

"I need to tell you something but I'm scared you won't want me after I tell you."  I laugh and look at him, tilting my head. 

"You do realize I came here pregnant. I am not crazy enough to think that a beast as sexy as yourself or your brothers have not been other women." His eye grow wide and I just shake my head and laugh. 

"Well for me," he hesitates, letting a long sigh. "Talia, I was a player. A different woman every night kind of player." He hangs his head down in shame. I reach my hands and cup his face, pulling it upward to look at me and I smile at him. 

"Is that in the past?" I can't help to ask. I know what I have been told about mates and the bond, but I need to know what he feels. Does he truly only want me? Or does he still want to have others? I just need to know. I have been hurt so much in the past and I really want to give these men a chance, but they will need understand that they will need to be honest with me about everything. 

He looks at me with wide eyes and a smirk and laughs, shaking his head. "Yes, since I have found you, my beast and I have not even looked at another woman. I have only dreamt of you, how my hands run down your body to give you pleasure, my eyes only want to watch you quiver underneath me with my lips. I have wanted you since the first time that I laid my eyes on you. So yes darling, you are the only one for me." I really want to believe him, maybe in time I will, but for now I will believe him. I just hope that what I have learned about the mate bond is all true. 

"Thank you for being honest with me. I never expected this to happen to me and I have a lot to learn about being a mate to the three of you. It may take me a while to trust all of you fully, but I promise to be honest with you if you are honest with me." I tell him. I didn't expect them to be virgins, I mean seriously, I think as I laugh to my self. 

"There are a lot of things that we will need to discuss with you. There are things that may scare you. And things that are also unknown to even us. So when you feel up to talking just let us know." Only if you knew what I do. Only if they all knew what I have seen. 

"Where did Christian go? I know he does not want me but I am worried about him." I don't know why I am so worried about him. I mean if he does not want me as a mate then that's his problem right. I have two men that are the epitome of gods. I get lost just looking into Bryson's eyes and now Kaizen touch is driving me wild. How will I ever survive a third?
