The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Fifty-Two

I liked that they wanted the world to know that they were mine. Killian looked back at me, holding out the helmet for me.

Jay came outside, closing the door behind me. His fingers brushed against mine before threading through mine. I let him pull me down the stairs towards Killian and their bikes. He pulled the helmet from Killian's hands, putting it on my head and clasping it beneath my chin. Killian watched the two of us before he pulled on his helmet and threw his leg over his bike. I climbed on behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist as he started the engine. Pulling us away from the cabin and the happy little bubble that had wrapped around us after our mating. Jay followed close behind us and before long, we were pulling up to my house.

Climbing off the back of Killian's bike, I undid the strap beneath my chin before pulling it off the helmet and placing it on the back of his bike. Jay had pulled up parallel to Killian and I knew that he was watching the two of us behind the dark visor of his helmet.

Killian reached out, pulling my body closer to his. His arm wrapped around my waist and he reached up, tucking my hair behind my ear. I tapped my knuckles on his helmet and he lifted it up, pressing his lips to mine before pulling it back down.noveldrama

"I'll call you later, okay?" I said, nervous still that maybe they wouldn't want me now that we'd been together. Having the bond with them helped to soothe that worry away, but I still couldn't fight down old feelings.

Killian dipped his head, stroking his fingers across my cheek before he let his hand fall. "I'll be waiting."

I stepped away from him, biting my lower lip to try to hide my smile. Turning towards Jay, I reached out my hand and he took it into his, pulling me over to him.

"We'll see you later, sweetheart." Jay said. His voice was muffled by the helmet but I could still hear him clear enough.

I nodded, squeezing his fingers before moving to stand on the sidewalk as the two of them pulled away. It was bittersweet watching them drive off. I wanted them to stay with me, but I knew I needed some downtime to process everything that had happened. I needed to spend time with Everly.

The sun felt good on my face as I made my way up to my front porch. Stopping in front of the door, I patted my pockets, realizing that I didn't have my keys. I brought my hand up, getting ready to knock but I didn't need to as the door swung open.

Gloria stood there, looking just as radiant as she always did. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she had done her makeup. Her lips were a glossy red. When her eyes fell on me, they widened as she took in the claiming mark on my neck. My sweater sleeves were pushed up to my elbows so she could see the one on my wrist as well.

"Congratulations, Olivia." She said, rushing forward and wrapping her arms around me. She smelled like lilac perfume and beneath that was the scent of pack and family. I breathed in her scent, letting it wash over my senses to clear my head of my mates. She squeezed me tight before leaning back to look up at me. "Tell me all about your date."

"It was a really good date. I don't think I've ever felt like this about anyone." I brought my hands up to squeeze her arms softly.

"That's what I want to hear. You deserve to be happy, Olivia." Gloria beamed at me before stepping back so that I could follow her into the house. I closed the door behind us, looking around for Everly. Gloria moved over to the couch to sit down. "She just went down for a nap. She missed you, but she had a good time with me."

"Thank you again." I said, moving over to the couch and sitting down.

"Don't mention it. You know I love to spend time with my grandbaby. I don't know how much time I'll get to spend with her since you're mated now and I want to soak it all up while I can." She shot me a look and I frowned.

"Gloria, I'm not going anywhere."

"Nonsense. I've heard how dragons are." She gave me a sly smile. "I'm shocked that they didn't come in with you. When they're mated, they don't like to be far from their mates. Tell me about dinner?"

I shook my head, trying not to think about what she had said. That we would be leaving. I hadn't thought about that last night but it did make sense. It wasn't like I could ask them to uproot their lives to move into my small house with me. My bedroom didn't have enough space for the size of the bed that we would need.

"Dinner was great, the food was so good and I really enjoyed talking with both men. We ran into Sunny and Miguel." I said, trying to shift the topic onto her son and his mate.

"Oh, then I guess most of the pack knows that you were on a date by now." Gloria huffed and I knew she was thinking the same thing that I had been thinking last night. She loved her son and his mate, but neither of them were very good at keeping gossip to themselves.

"Probably. But that's okay. I mean, most everyone would figure it out sooner or later." I shifted on the couch, wondering if I should tell her that we had bumped into Nick at Moonlight.

I couldn't get the way that he had looked at me out of my mind. Like he had known that he had made a mistake. I sucked in a breath, clasping my hands together in my lap. It was best not to think about him and what had happened before. It would only bring up feelings that I didn't want to deal with right now.
