Chapter 13

Thomas's POV ♤

Going outside was the highlight of my fucking week.

I hate going outside. Almost everything about it makes me want to run back to my room. Somehow, there the mystical Fae magic, I enjoyed it. The stupid mate bond made me enjoy something I loathe entirely.

This whole thing is messing with my head!

Why can't they be ugly douche bags that say mean things. It would be so much easier to hate them if they were. What am I saying? I do hate them, they kidnapped me and are now holding me against my will. But, do I really hate them?

In the midst of my self loathing Axel came into my room. I can't even look at him, I'm so embarrassed about what happened a couple of days ago. He came on to me, and I accepted him like a whore. We didn't have sex, but we sure as hell came close.

I didn't notice him until he put his hands over my eyes and whispered "guess who".

"Axel g-go away. I'm not in the m-mood right now." I begged. My cheeks are probably redder than the tomato I ate with lunch.

"My love, I have a surprise for you. Your going to have to do me a favor though, if you want it." The surprise part caught my attention real quick.

Though I didn't miss the way he said "my love." It was like I already chose him. I don't know who I'm going to choose, but if he's this cocky, the odds are not in his favor. I almost hope another handsome stranger walks up to me as a possible mate. I'd choose him immediately out of spite.

"Tell me the surprise, and I'll think about it."

He scoffed, and rolled his gorgeous brown eyes "That's not how surprises work."

"What's the favor?" I asked, looking up at him. It was an awkward angle since I never turned to face him.

He held up a dark purple blindfold. Shaking my head vigorously, I walked away from him. He didn't grab me, just walked soundlessly behind me. I would bet money that stupid smirk he wears all the time is sitting on his face, just waiting to be smacked off.

Falling onto my bed face first, I gave him the bird behind my back. I hope he got the message and left me alone.

Alas he didn't. Instead he rolled me over and hugged me. I really want to say that I hated being smashed up against his broad chest, but I can't. I noticed his hair is a darkish brown today, unlike the jet black it normally is. They rarely change their appearance from when I first saw them. I think it's because they want to make sure I know it's them.

"Please put it on, you won't regret it. If you do, I'll take you to see your parents." I stared up at him in disbelief.

Does he really mean it?

Forcefully I yanked at the demon cloth in his hand. If losing my sight for a bit is what it took to take me home, I'm going to sign right up.

He laughed at my attempt to snatch the neat rag, and held it up above my reach. With a pout, I blinked up at him, begging works a lot with these two. He turned me around and sensually tied the blindfold to fit my head. His touch sent electric shivers down my back.

Why is this happening to me?

Once Axel was done tying, he grabbed my shoulders and started steering me towards the door. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, I stubbed my toe a few times, but it made him laugh. His laughter was pure and giddy; a small smile appeared on my face.

"W-where are we going?" Curiosity has finally taken over.

"Places. Though for an exact location your gonna have to guess." Said the smug bastard.

I gave into his little game. He lead me down stairs where I almost lost my balance, but I was laughing and guessing all the same. It was kinda fun.

"Is it a f-fancy m-movie outside?"

"Nope."

"How about a carriage ride?"

"Also no."

"Am I c-close?"

"Definitely not."

"Where the hell are you taking me, you beast?!?!" A familiar voice screeched. I couldn't quite pinpoint it. When another voice, new to me, came through and they started to bicker. Not an entirely mean bicker, more of an endearing one.

While I was trying to figure out who the voice belonged to, I felt Axel untying the blindfold. We were outside and the sun was shinging bright, like fucking knives to the eyes. Unsurprisingly it took my eyes some time to adjust. The blindfold did a good job blocking out the light.

When my eyes opened I saw a girl with brown hair and Heterochromia. To her left stood a tall woman. The woman was a tall red head, with an Elven braid going down her back. Both glaring at each other with disapproving faces.

"G-g-grace!" I ripped myself out of Axel's hold to hug my bff. Tears streaming down my face by the gallon. At the same time she shouted "Tom!"

God, I missed her so much.

We met halfway blubbering like small children. Our hug turned into a battle as we both decided we wanted to be the one with the tightest hold. Anyone watching would have thought they were watching 2 sticks try to sumo wrestle.

Her foot caught a rock and we toppled over. When I landed on her my face hit a dark combat boots.

"Oww" I groaned.

Looking down at Grace, I saw a smile appear on her lips. Then the laughter started.

I'm never going to be able to live this down.

"Haha... Omg... we were all like.... haha... and then... awe." She was laughing so hard her hands couldn't keep up with the tears she was wiping away.

I don't appreciate being laughed at, but her laughter is stupidly contagious. I ended up joining her.

It was so great to see her again, I never thought I would. If Axel did this he just earned some major brownie points. I still dislike him, but this made me respect him just a tad bit more. Though, when I think about it, if Grace  wasn't mated to another Fae, I wouldn't be allowed to see her.

I take back some of those brownie points.

"I missed you s-so much." I say once we've calmed down.

"I missed you too." She nodded over her shoulder to the redhead who was now glaring at me. "I've been stuck with that one for a few weeks. I'm literally going insane."

Axel and the new person went to stand by eachother, while grace and I rolled in the grass. They obviously had some kind of relationship, I couldn't tell if it was just a friendship or not.

Not that I would care or anything! It's just, I'm his mate so this bitch better not go for him till I reject him. If I reject him? What the hell am I saying, of course I'll reject him! I'm not going to choose either of the idiot's vying for my attention.

Can I say no to both of them? They didn't give me a choice in their deal. It was more of a we'll change your mind or else. My only hope is that some other guy comes in and sweeps me off my feet, like the prince charming I deserve.

"At least you only have one of th-th-them." I responded playfully. However, my playful tone was drowned by the sadness radiating out my eyes.

I know she saw right through me.

"We can go inside and eat breakfast if you guys are hungry." His voice cut through the silence that had overtaken the reunion. I was kinda grateful for it.

I looked over at Grace and saw she didn't want anything to do with go inside. I couldn't blame her this was probably her first time going outside since her kidnapping. I can only assume her experience was, is, similar to mine. After all, this is only my second time outside.

Sadly my stomach and hers rumbled at roughly the same time. Any answer we were going to give was completely overridden by our bodies.

Dammit self, why couldn't you stay quiet just a little bit longer?

"Well that answers that question. Get up so I can make you guys food." Axel half stated half demanded. I knew the demand was aimed at me, and I'd be lying if I said his words didn't go straight to my nether regions.

With a pout I replied, "D-do we really have too? I never get to b-be outside." The pout go to him. I know it did, it always does. It's like my one ace card out of this whole situation.

"I'll take you out tomorrow." He promised.

With that I followed him in. Grace and her mate wannabe were having the same discussion. After so debate Grace lost and they followed us in.

I marched into the kitchen and sae that Michael was sitting on a stool waiting for us.
