Chapter 3

AVA POV

The moment those words were out of my mind, I knew I had made a huge mistake. He looked taken aback for some moments, but he soon concealed his emotions.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"I thought I was Aurora," I said but caught the fierce look he gave me. "I'm Ava."

"I'm Dawson." He drawled, making the name sound even sexier.

I didn't ask. I sneered inwardly and caught his intense gaze.

As if controlled by a remote, his head descended and he took my lips in a hungry kiss.

"I've always wanted to do this!" He murmured against his lips.

The world seemed to stand still and every thought in my mind tumbled out and scattered. I didn't understand his statement, but I didn't care. His lips tasted heavenly and I had to stifle a moan.

His hands snaked into my blouse as he lifted my bra and cupped my breast in his hand, teasing my nipples between his fingers.

The throbbing ache between my thighs intensified and I knew I wanted him. Fuck! I wanted this man, my mate! But I was still half-afraid to touch him.

He suddenly caught my hand as if he could no longer stand it. He guided it down to the ridge of his hips and into his pants.

Straight to his member which was rock-hard.

I gasped in shock when he dragged my hand up and down. My eyes flew wide as I struggled to take in his size. He was so huge and I couldn't help but regret my words.

How would this even fit inside of me when I've never---

As if he could read my mind, he whisked me off the floor and lowered me into the bed--- my stepmother's bed. He crawled over me, supporting his weight with his two hands.

I avoided his gaze. "We--- shouldn't be doing this. Especially not here." I stammered.

He put a finger on my lips. "Shhh! If you make some noise, they will hear you, Aurora."

"I'm not Aurora!" I protested.

In answer, he lifted my skirt and to my utter dismay, I realized I wasn't wearing panties, giving him a smooth entry as he thrust into me.

He met restriction and his eyes widened in horror. "A virgin?" He looked as though he couldn't believe that.

I nodded. "Yes, but don't stop, please! I want you badly!" I was nearly weeping with the truth of that.

As if that was all he needed to know, he drove into me like a maniac. A spasm of pain shot into my brain and threatened to pull my muscles apart. My flesh gave way to his size and soon adjusted and now all I could feel was pleasure.

I could feel myself reaching my peak as my body convulsed and hot thick fluid flow through my veins. I felt him stiffen over me that moment, groaning what sounded like my name.

I pushed him off me and jumped to my feet. How could I do this on my stepmom's bed and what if he was my mate? I just had a fucking sex with some stranger without using protection! What have I gotten myself into?

It felt like a dream even as I quickly put on my clothes and he did the same too. The next thing I knew I was standing in front of the living room's door. Before I could say anything, he knocked on the door. He sure had telepathic powers.

"Brother, we've been searching for you since!" A voice said behind us and we both turned.

They were his brothers. My other mates. The speaker didn't even bother sparing me a glance and I could instantly tell that he wasn't excited that I was his mate. His hair colour was brunette and his eyes were a lighter shade than the rest of them.

"Allow me to introduce you to my brothers." Dawson began. "This is Damian, I'm some minutes older than him." Damian gave him a disgusted look

"And this is Derek and Declan." He finished.

So the brunette was Declan. Why did he regard me with such a cold gaze? I brushed the thought away and glanced at Derek who had blonde hair. He had been the one who beat two guards at the same time.

The door whipped open from inside and almost caught me in the face but I quickly stepped backward. I lost my balance and almost tripped when a strong arm wrapped around my waist.

I quickly recoiled from Damian's arms as my gaze shot to my stepmom, Harper. She had a huge smile on her face, obviously not for me.

Her object--- or rather, objects of interest were Dawson and his brothers. Only they weren't reciprocating her smiles.

"Oh my! To what do I owe the pleasure, Sebastian Alphas?" She bowed curtly.

Dawson's gaze darkened. "You invited us here, Harper. So, what question is that?"

Her smile faded immediately. "I'm sorry, alpha. I'm just so surprised to see you here so early. Plus, I didn't expect you'd honor my invitation at all."

"We did!" Dawson said dismissively. "Can we get this meeting over and done with!?"

They entered and I stood enthralled at the door. The Sebastian alphas? And to think I just had sex with one? What have I done?

I've heard stories about them. They were the dreams of many ladies and of course, they were playboys. How could the moon goddess be so wicked as to grant all of them as my mates?

I dragged my feet into the living room. From the corner of my eyes, I caught Amelia's face as she gawked shamelessly at Dawson and Damian. I felt an uncomfortable feeling surge through me.

I lowered myself into a chair and at that very moment, a resounding slap cut across my face. I looked up to see Harper glaring at me with eyes full of measurable disdain.

"What are you doing here? How dare you filthy thing breathe in the same space as the Sebastian alphas!?" She hollered furiously.

I winced as her words struck me. I suddenly had a strong urge to retort, but I bit down my temper and stood up. Why was I even there in the first place. How did I forget that I was trying to escape from this place?

I turned to leave but slammed into a hard-muscled chest. I caught a whiff of his scent and I looked up to see Dawson's eyes boring into mine.

"Get lost!" He choked and his voice sent tiny shivers of lust down my veins.

"Sorry, Alpha Dawson," I heard Dad's voice behind me. "I'll teach her a lesson for getting on your nerves!"

Dawson's lips twitched with anger. "Not her! These woman and her daughter! This lady is who I'm interested in."

Dad's face was wide with horror but he quickly composed himself. "Excuse us!" He said to Harper and Amelia who still hadn't recovered from the shock.

Just as I expected, she shot me a hard glare like I had done something wrong for the alphas to suddenly choose me over her.

When the door clicked shut behind their back, I turned to face Dawson. He was staring at me as though he found my facial expression amusing.

Dad cleared his throat. "Alpha Dawson, I think you're mistaken. Ava is not my daughter. She is a worthless slave who doesn't even have a wolf. She'll only be useless to---"

Derek's low growl stopped him mid-sentence. "How dare you refer to her that way!?" The possessiveness in his words made my blood flash hot.

I could see how hard Dad gulped down his saliva. His body shuddered slightly as he muttered a quiet apology.

"We are here for Ava!" Damian finally broke through the tension.

It was the first time he was speaking and he sounded as if he had little or no interest in this. Or so I thought.

"Alpha Jack, give us the girl and you can as well get a billion dollars!" He finished.

That was all Dad needed to hear. He was all smiles as Damian handed him the cheque.

The drive with the four Sebastian alphas was the most uncomfortable I had ever felt in my life. The car vibrated with heat and tension as it rode awfully slow.

Just as I closed my eyes and resolved to sleep, the car's tires screeched to a halt.

"We are here!" Dawson announced from behind the wheel.

Relief flooded through me at the thought that I would finally leave their penetrating gazes. Just then, someone snagged at my wrist and pulled me back. It was Damian and he started sniffing my face and clothes.

"Why do you smell so different? You smell as if--" his voice broke off, his gaze accusatory. "Did you fuck any of my brothers?"
