Fated is overrated

"Chill day by the lake?" she questions cheerfully, while skipping past us and bouncing towards the veranda. The way her *ss bounces when she skips doesn't go unnoticed by me, and I groan in frustration as soon as she is out of ear reach. "I don't know how much more I can take, man". As I glance over to Zeke, his look says it all and he is thinking the exact same thing I am. We head to our room to change into our swimming trunks quickly as well.

I know it's corny, but we made sure to have matching clothes for each and every piece in her closet. We learned from our mom that women like to match. So, we are now in yellow and black swimming trunks too.

"We are so whipped" Zeke chuckles, looking at our swimming trunks. I laugh in return, before we make our way back downstairs and head out to the veranda. Lola is laying on one of the sunbeds, looking absolutely drop dead gorgeous and sexy as hell. As she notices us approaching, she starts to sit up. As her gaze lands on us, she starts laughing uncontrollably. I glance at Zeke, who looks equally confused as I do. "What, do I have something on me?" I ask, examining my own body. "Yes, corny *ss matching swimwear" she throws out in between fits of laughter. I feel my cheeks heat up, and my mouth is parted slightly in shock. I thought mom said women liked matching? Lola stands up, still laughing, and moves towards us. She grabs both of us around the waist and pulls us towards her. She has reduced her laughter to chuckling, before saying "I'm sorry I called it corny, it's sweet". She kisses both of us on the lips, before dragging us back to the sunbeds by our hands. Her heat is definitely over, otherwise she would have jumped us by now already. "It's so quiet and serene here" Lola breathes out, as she lays down. Zeke and I sit on either side of her, just staring at her and our surroundings.

"I could get used to this" Zeke breathes out contently, and I have to say I feel the same way. "Me too" Lola adds, before she suggests we do a game of truth or dare. Zeke and I agree, keen to get to know her even better.

Every day we learn more about her, and I haven't been disappointed thus far. She keeps getting better and better by the minute, I can see why she was paired with us. Zeke is the first to go, and Lola wastes no time in diving in.

"I have been meaning to ask, what is your power?". Zeke smiles at her, but doesn't respond. Instead, he looks at the bottle of water on the floor, and uses his telekinesis to pick it up and hand it to her.

"Cool!" she breathes out fascinated, before adding "both of your powers are so cool!". "OK, my turn. How do you see your future?" Zeke asks Lola, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Lola POV

How do I see my future.. That is a good question honestly. I hadn't thought about it yet with everything happening, I had been living in the moment honestly. I know I am supposed to be the dragon Queen, but since my mates are also princes in another kingdom, I am not sure how that would all work out.

"Honestly, I haven't thought about it much. Everything has been happening so fast. All I want is to be happy in the end". "What makes you happy?" Zane asks me now, almost sounding like a therapist.

But, that is a good question actually. "My family does" and before I can continue, I feel the anguish they are feeling upon my answer, so I quickly add with a small smile ".. including my mates".

I drop my gaze to the floor, slightly blushing, before I quickly try to divert the attention away from me. "My turn! Zane.. Do you... Would you.." I stutter on my words at the awkward question I am about to ask, knowing I am still uncertain on the topic myself. OK Lola, just blurt it out. "Do you want pups?". Zane freezes slightly before responding, "Yeah, I do. How about you?". "I.. I don't know actually.. Would that.. Is that a problem for us?" I answer softly, dreading their answer.

I know for Alpha's the urge to procreate is intense, let alone for Lycan royalty. Zane remains silent for an excruciating amount of time, before finally responding "I can't deny and say it doesn't hurt to think I would never get to see little versions of our perfect mate and us running around. But, if you wouldn't want that, it is what it is.

I love you with all my heart, and I am never letting you go for as long as you can endure me". My heart melts at his words, and I feel tears brimming the corners of my eyes. They are so f*cking perfect right now.

Before Zane can take his "turn" I stand up and walk over to him, sitting myself down on his lap to straddle him, before whispering "my turn. I dare you to take me to your bedroom".

An adorable blush creeps up on his face, before he visibly gulps. "Lola that's the heat..." "no, it isn't" I reply honestly, staring deep into his eyes to convince him that it is not the heat talking. "You know that if I was still in heat, I would have jumped you both the moment you stepped out in swimming trunks".
