Sweet Redemption: The Morningstar Series Book 3
Sweet Redemption Chapter 10

I woke up gasping for air. f**k, I hate that part!

Thankfully I woke up in my room with just my twin. No mate as far as I could tell. I'm extremely greatful for that. The last thing I needed was a mate. I was even wondering if I imagined it all. Until Ahkari had to open her big a*s mouth.

My twin gave me the run down of what happened after I died. Selma purred at the thought of our mate being so worried about us, but I was not easily fooled. As much as my heart leapt at the small piece of information, my stomach turned in knots.

My twin and I's conversation was short thankfully. She ushered me to take a shower first, since we were both covered in blood and dirt. Giving her a quick thanks I bolted for the bathroom.

I turned the water on as hot as I could before walking under the stream of water. Our bathroom was large since we shared it. The shower was large enough for three people, believe me I've actually brought two people in here before. It was newly modeled with a fake stone wall and large tiled floors.

There are a few different jets too, and I loved turning them all on. Our bathroom also has a large jacuzzi tub, double vanity, and lots of mirrors. It's a crisp white color with light gray accented colors.

Deciding I should probably rush so that my twin can shower too, I washed my body quickly. My thoughts never left the blue eyed man that claims to be my mate. I barely got a glance at him, and everything was pretty fuzzy. The only thing I really remember were those haunting blue eyes. They pierced through my soul, and I hate it.

Finding your mate should be a good thing. Unfortunately for Bou, my first mate ruined it for him. Sighing, I let the weight of the situation really hit me.

I just met my second chance mate. Something I prayed not to have. Does the Moon Goddess really think that I can handle two rejections? She must think too highly of me.

Reluctantly I turned the shower off, and stepped out. I wrapped a towel around my body, and then one around my hair. Before I walked back into my room Ahkari came from the door that connected to her bedroom. She smiled, and held her hand out to me. "Here." She said as I took what she had to offer.

My twin gave me a shot of brown liquor, and a small vial of something dark green. I raised a brow at her waiting for her to explain.

Ahkari laughed lightly.

"This is the potion Kee brought us. She said it tastes awful so she brought us.... something to wash it down with." She said amused. "Ahh." I said as I looked at the items. "Good sister." I mumbled.

"Oh yeah. Especially because it really does taste awful." Ahkari said.

"Great." I said sarcastically. "Take your shower sis. Thanks for letting me go first." I said, and then winked at my twin.

Ahkari told me good night as I closed the door to the bathroom. Sighing heavily, I took the top off of the small vial, and chucked it back.

f**k, they were not lying when they said that was gross. I literally gagged.

Taking my shot as quickly as I could, it dulled the disgusting after taste of the potion. Kee needs to work on how her potion's taste.

Shaking off the bad taste, I went to my closet, and grabbed an over sized T-shirt, and some pajama shorts. I slipped the clothes on, and then unwrapped my hair. Grabbing my brush I walked to the large window in my room.

My eyes scanned the grounds. Everything seemed quiet. There are a few lights on in the school letting me know that a few people are up.

I can see Belle's cottage from here as well. Her front light went on getting my attention. My eyes flickered over in time to see Atiana, Max, and the two newcomers walk out.

I watched as Robby and Belle said their good byes to the four. My eyes roamed over my mate. Selma is hovering at the surface wanting to get a better look at her mate too.

Bou has dark curly hair that sits in a sexy mess on top of his head. His build is buff, like he works out every day. He's tall, but not as tall as Max, but definitely much taller than me. My eyes trailed down his body despite myself. I woke up gosping for oir.

f**k, I hote thot port!

Thonkfully I woke up in my room with just my twin. No mote os for os I could tell. I'm extremely greotful for thot. The lost thing I needed wos o mote. I wos even wondering if I imogined it oll. Until Ahkori hod to open her big oss mouth.

Deciding I should probobly rush so thot my twin con shower too, I woshed my body quickly. My thoughts never left the blue eyed mon thot cloims to be my mote. I borely got o glonce ot him, ond everything wos pretty fuzzy. The only thing I reolly remember were those hounting blue eyes. They pierced through my soul, ond I hote it.

I just met my second chonce mote. Something I proyed not to hove. Does the Moon Goddess reolly think thot I con hondle two rejections? She must think too highly of me.

Reluctontly I turned the shower off, ond stepped out. I wropped o towel oround my body, ond then one oround my hoir. Before I wolked bock into my room Ahkori come from the door thot connected to her bedroom. She smiled, ond held her hond out to me. "Here." She soid os I took whot she hod to offer.

My twin gove me o shot of brown liquor, ond o smoll viol of something dork green. I roised o brow ot her woiting for her to exploin.

Ahkori loughed lightly.

"This is the potion Kee brought us. She soid it tostes owful so she brought us.... something to wosh it down with." She soid omused. "Ahh." I soid os I looked ot the items. "Good sister." I mumbled.

"Oh yeoh. Especiolly becouse it reolly does toste owful." Ahkori soid.

"Greot." I soid sorcosticolly. "Toke your shower sis. Thonks for letting me go first." I soid, ond then winked ot my twin.

Ahkori told me good night os I closed the door to the bothroom. Sighing heovily, I took the top off of the smoll viol, ond chucked it bock.

f**k, they were not lying when they soid thot wos gross. I literolly gogged.

Toking my shot os quickly os I could, it dulled the disgusting ofter toste of the potion. Kee needs to work on how her potion's toste.

Shoking off the bod toste, I went to my closet, ond grobbed on over sized T-shirt, ond some pojomo shorts. I slipped the clothes on, ond then unwropped my hoir. Grobbing my brush I wolked to the lorge window in my room.

My eyes sconned the grounds. Everything seemed quiet. There ore o few lights on in the school letting me know thot o few people ore up.

I con see Belle's cottoge from here os well. Her front light went on getting my ottention. My eyes flickered over in time to see Ationo, Mox, ond the two newcomers wolk out.

I wotched os Robby ond Belle soid their good byes to the four. My eyes roomed over my mote. Selmo is hovering ot the surfoce wonting to get o better look ot her mote too.

Bou hos dork curly hoir thot sits in o sexy mess on top of his heod. His build is buff, like he works out every doy. He's toll, but not os toll os Mox, but definitely much toller thon me. My eyes troiled down his body despite myself. Hmm, good style.

Max and Atiana parted ways with the dark haired twins, and walked in the direction of the mansion. I watched as my mate walked off to the school with his twin sister. They must be staying in the teachers dorms. Good, far away from me.

I barely have a reason to even step foot in the school unless Tia wants me to. Maybe it would be easier to avoid him than I thought.

Just before my mate was about to walk into the school he paused. As if he knew I was watching, his body turned around, his eyes connecting with mine instantly. A sexy smirk fell on his full lips, and I felt my face heat.

s**t.

My mate lifted a hand to wave at me, his smirk growing to a smile. Damn, he's the sexiest guy I've ever seen. I glared back at him hoping to deter him, but it looked like he chuckled instead. My mate started to walk towards the mansion, and panic coursed through

me.

Oh no.

Let's let him in. Selma suggested.

No way! I pretty much yelled at her.

Well, he's coming either way. She pushed.

Please. He can't get in here. I said.

Selma grumbled at me as we watched my mate get closer. His twin had went into the school completely ignoring him, so he was alll alone. Bou stopped under my window, and stared up at me with a smile on his face.

I glared down at him, and crossed my arms over my chest. His body rumbled with what I could only assume was a chuckle. He pointed to the other window on this wall, the one that opens. I looked over at the window before looking back at him, and shaking my head no.

My mate gave me a fake pout. His lips moved, but I couldn't hear anything he's saying. I scrunched my face up at him. Bou's lips kept moving, and I rolled my eyes.

Walking over to the other window I ripped it open, and stuck my head out.

"What do you want?" I gritted out.

"Well you of course." He smiled at me.

Damn, does his voice have to be that deep. I don't think I've ever heard a voice that deep and sexy before. Goosebumps erupted across my skin but I ignored it.

"That's not going to happen sorry." I said snarkily.

My mate laughed, and I desperately tried to ignore the sound.

"Why not? We're mates aren't we?" He asked clearly amused by my attitude.

I stuck my nose in the air.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Bou didn't say anything at first. I wanted to look down at him to gauge how he was feeling, but I kept telling myself I didn't care. He might be my mate, but that doesn't mean he actually wants me. For all I know he could be just like my first mate. "You don't feel it?" Bou's voice was so soft, and so full of emotion, it had guilt swarming my stomach.

I looked down at Bou. He's staring up at me with serious eyes, his smile gone. I looked him up and down to see that he's waiting for an honest answer.

Honestly, when he asked, I didn't think he was serious. It was pretty obvious he could feel the mate bond, so why would he think I wouldn't feel it as well?

"What are you?" I asked him.

Bou's eyes softened as he gave me another s*xy smirk.

"You answer my question first." He countered.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I don't want to know that bad." I said.

"Liar." He accused me softly.

I scoffed at him.

"Well aren't you bold." I grumbled.

"I could show you just how bold I can be if you let me come up there." He offered.

Heat flowed through me landing right at my core. f**k, that sounds enticing. I haven't had s*x in weeks. It seems I've been in a bad rut lately. Probably because I was about to meet my mate. Again.

"No." I stated like a spoiled brat.

Bou chuckled lowly.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Why can't you just tell me what you are?" I countered.

Bou stared up at me with that stupid sexy smirk. His eyes roamed the length of my body that he could see. My n*****s hardened immediately under his gaze.

Stupid treacherous body. I hope that Bou didn't notice, but the way his eyes lingered on my breasts told me he did. Stupid treacherous body. I hope that Bou didn't notice, but the way his eyes lingered on my breasts told me he did. "I think it might be more fun if I show you instead." He suggested seductively.

Selma is in my head urging me to let him in. I stood there staring down at Bou willing myself to come to my senses.

We just met, I shouldn't let him come up here. I'm not dumb. If I let Bou come up here, even if he was on his best behavior, there was no way I could keep my hands to myself. I'm never on my best behavior When my first mate took advantage of me I was a virgin. I had never even kissed a guy. Now, as terrible as this sounds, I made my way around.

I'm not embarrassed, or ashamed. s*x is fun. I enjoyed the attention, and the o*****s.

If I let Bou come up here, I would most definitely f**k him. And I need to stand my ground. So, I narrowed my eyes down at him, and crossed my arms over my breasts.

"Not a chance." I said, and then snapped my fingers slamming the window shut.

I turned my back to the window, and walked further in my room. Selma was thoroughly pissed at me but she would get over it. She knows why I'm doing what I am. I will not be hurt again.

After about ten minutes I peeked out the window. Thankfully my mate was gone. Finally he took the hint and went back to the school.

Sighing I crawled into my bed. Hugging a pillow to my chest it took me forever to fall asleep.

*******

My sleep wasn't great. I dreamed of my mates piercing blue eyes, and a lot of other things.

Bou's head was between my legs. He was eating my p***y like it was the best meal he'd ever had. I was desperately trying not to moan, but that was a lost cause. Just when I was about to c*m, I woke up.

Guess I'm starting my morning off on a bad start. My p***y is throbbing from my dream, and I wondered if I had some time to take care of it myself. Just when I laid back on my bed there was a knock to my door from the bathroom. Ahkari didn't wait for me to answer and instead walked right in.

"Oh." She breathed out as her eyes went wide. "I thought I would have to wake you up like normal." She teased.

"Yeah well, lucky for you I had a bad dream." I told her.

"Did you now?" She said while giving me a knowing look.

Probably smelling my arousal.

"Wanna go down for coffee, and breakfast?" She asked.

"I am in desperate need of coffee." I said as I flung my blanket off of me.

Ahkari and I made our way downstairs.

"Good morning girls. Sleep well?" Max asked us.

I grumbled in response.

"Morning Max. What chya makin?" Ahkari asked him.

"French toast, sausage, and Belle is bringing over cinnamon rolls." He told us.

"Belle's coming over too?" I asked finally looking up at him.

"Yeah. Cinnamon rolls are Bianca's favorite, so Belle baked her an entire batch for herself, and then some for the rest of us." He told me.

"Bianca's favorite huh?" Ahkair asked softly.

Bianca is her mate. Our mates are twins. Selma told me amused.

Selma and Ahkaris wolf Sage were able to communicate with each other. Something that was unheard of. The only time wolves can communicate through a mind link like that was if they were mates. My twin and I are lucky, or at least that's how I feel. She found her mate? I asked full of joy for my twin.

Finally! I've been waiting for Ahkari to come out of the closet since we were kids. She might think she hides her secrets well, but she can't hide anything from her twin. I'm completely overjoyed for her.

"Wait." I said getting Max's attention. "Does that mean they're coming here?" I asked.

Max didn't have to answer as the sweet smell of hot chocolate, and pine hit my nose. Selma started jumping around in my head at the scent of our mate. I internally cringed as I looked over at the new twins standing in the doorway. Bou gave me a sly smile. "Good morning guys."
