You going to have a lot of children?\u201d Dax asks sounding genuinely interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, we will have a lot of babies,\u201d Lenime answers without my consultation. \u201cAt least twenty,\u201d Phe agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ignore it and eat something from the huge bowl of food in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe amount they eat, I would be huge in no time. The food is not only plentiful, but tastes good. Not to mention the alcohol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t tried it,\u201d I tell Dax. \u201cI don\u2019t really drink alcohol. Aaron always tried to get me too, but I never saw a point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continue to eat and speak. Apparently whilst we were sleeping Dax had been spending a lot of time with Koya and the others and because what I had said to Dax the other day about not being able to join with anyone, it had given Ty the wrong idea and he now refuses to leave Koya alone with him. Despite their friendship being purely innocent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how you put up with my brothers all the time. As much as I love Ty, he is making me crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou get used to the madness. Like Lenime and the button. You wouldn\u2019t think he was trying to get to it would you?\u201d They all look to an innocent Lenime who look like he is purely sat eating. But looking under the table is a different matter. With one hand being used to eat food, the second looking to be innocently under the table or on my lap, but no. It is frantically and pointlessly pulling at my suit between my legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe, on the other hand, is running my belly and feeding me and himself, despite me already feeding myself he insists on giving me more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cButton?\u201d Dax questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, Amber\u2019s button.\u201d He looks even more confused by Lenime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s put it this way, it probably wasn\u2019t a good idea to show him porn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realisation hits and he laughs out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou are great guys. So funny.\u201d He continues to laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minutes later and my bladder is ready to explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will be right back,\u201d I say standing up and my mates move to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll only be a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will come still,\u201d They try to say but Koya cut in, \u201cYou two stay here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She gave them a strange look and they agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But alright, I\u2019ll only be a minute anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the bathroom, I finish my business in less than a minute apart and move to return but stop before entering the dinning room. I am out of sight, but can hear them. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not normal nosy, but when I hear Dax say, \u201cI may not know old fashioned women, but what I do know is that any human female who finds out they are being lied to they will be angry the longer it continues. They need to tell Amber the truth. She deserves to know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A million and one ideas run thought my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if the mate thing is the lie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, they love me, I am sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if they have another mate or they don\u2019t want our child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideas keep coming and I keep trying to explain them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After another minute, I decide enough is enough. I calm myself down and enter the room as though I heard nothing. I return to sit on Phe\u2019s lap. They are all a little tense but I pretend I don\u2019t see it. When I sit down and take Lenime\u2019s hand they both relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am upset that they would lie to me, but I love them, but I could never hate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou finish your breakfast, Amber, and we will meet you a bit later,\u201d Koya says standing up. They all say bye. She strokes my ponytail, before they leaving the room and our quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving me again alone with my lying mates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEat some more of this, Amber, it will help.\u201d Lenime is feeding me as well as Phe this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I eat a few more a few more small mouthfuls before my anxiety gets the best of me and a whimper leaves my mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both men immediately stop and look me over worried. \u201cAre you hurting, love?\u201d Phe asks unable to find anything out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cW.. W\u2026 Why would you lie to me?\u201d My bottom lip quivers as I try not to cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their eye widen, \u201cYou heard?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI heard Dax say you lied to me,\u201d I verify. \u201cDo you have another mate?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo!\u201d They both say at the same time and Lenime stands up to hug me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go in bedroom, it is a better place to talk,\u201d Phe says trying to stand up holding me, but I free myself and walk in front of them alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust tell me?\u201d I almost whisper sitting on the edge of the bed. My mates sitting either side of me, but I can tell they are unsure about touching me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur bloodline is special,\u201d Phe is the one speaking. \u201cOur grandparents on my father\u2019s side, have been the rulers of our people for more than a hundred and fifty years. I was chosen as their successor. I have been trained, taught and breathed everything to be the perfect ruler all my life. By the age of twenty most Poyun find their mates, some a little later. But after forty years of searching the whole of my world and being given the chance to choose my own, I decided to leave my planet in search of the only thing I have ever truly wanted.\u201d I looks at him with furrowed brows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can mate other people? Choose your own?\u201d I ask slightly angry at being lied to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, there is away of genetically altering the person so your body thinks they are your mate\u2026\u201d I cut him off before he can finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou did this to me?\u201d I accuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNO. YOU ARE MY REAL MATE!\u201d He shouts making me crawling back into Lenime\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe looks horrified at what he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Amber, I\u2019m sorry. I love you so much. I didn\u2019t mean too\u2026 I\u2019m sorry, please\u2026 I would never force or trick you into mating, neither of us would. I was just as surprised as you when I found out and even more so when I found out you were Lenime\u2019s too.\u201d I feel Lenime nuzzle my neck and hold me tightly against him as his brother rambles and speaks for them both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut we would never change you. You were born to be our mate. You were never genetically altered by us. The Poyun are brought up loving their mates. Only when I met you, when we met you, our love increased infinitely. I would give up everything just to stay with you. Please don\u2019t leave us. I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019ll tell you anything? No more lies.\u201d I know he isn\u2019t lying anymore, but I need time alone. I know that can never happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you are\u2026 Were searching for your mate, then why is your family here?\u201d I ask one of a dozen questions I have and pull back from Lenime, making him let out a whimpering cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel horrible for doing it, but I need answers and having him touching me clouds my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoyun families are close and mine closer still. I have no idea how long I would be out searching and my family didn\u2019t wish to be apart from me for years at a time. My grandparents had no choice but to stay because they had to rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLenime also hadn\u2019t found his mate. It was a good chance for him, we knew it wasn\u2019t a Poyun, because he had been with me as I searched for mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy search? Why not choose your own?\u201d He is wearing a small smile and for a second his fingers brush my cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe both had that choice, but neither of us wanted anyone but you. I am not going to lie, there was a few women, one in particular who wished to mate me or Lenime. Her constant pestering was one of the things that helped me make up my mind to leave and search for you in other places. When I was younger I often dreamed of a beautiful small woman with eyes the colour of the night sky and hair almost white, as did Lenime. Our parents didn\u2019t know what to think of it. But I loved that woman, we both did and always secretly wished she was real.\u201d He looks at me with so much love it is heart-breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen you walked in with Phe,\u201d Lenime is speaking now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe same woman I had dreamed of so long. I felt happy for Phe, but like my own heart was breaking. I loved you. But you couldn\u2019t be my mate &#8211; you were his. But I enjoyed being with you either way. The moment I picked you up and I felt the mate sparks everything made sense. You were sending us messages while we slept to tell us you were sleeping and waiting too. I have no idea how but I think maybe our mate link has always been connected, if only slightly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. The moment I saw you I knew you were both my mate and the woman from my dream. I have a book full of pictures of you. I tried to draw you but they were never right. Lenime was always better at that,\u201d Phe confesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know how I should feel, but I feel flattered. \u201cYou both drew pictures?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLenime still does or at least he did when we found you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I turn to Lenime to see him fidgeting nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan I see one?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are in his old quarters. We can go there now?\u201d Phe asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd we could pack up my stuff to move. Mmm, maybe?\u201d Lenime suggests hopeful. I know they are still worried and I am still a angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlright, lead the way,\u201d I say standing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exiting the room, both my mates walk at my sides. They are both stood so close that as we walk theirs hands keep brushing mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems to be an accident, but looking out of the corner of my eye I notice Phe watching my hand and purposely brushing mine. Lenime is doing the same. At least it is psychical contact so I won&#8217;t get sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only a minute later we arrive at a room not much smaller or different from Phe\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My younger mate leads me into the bedroom to find literally hundreds of drawings of a beautiful light haired woman, with sparkling eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is me. \u201cThese are\u2026\u201d I am lost for words. I never expected Lenime to be so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou are such a talented artist. But I\u2019m not this beautiful.\u201d Yes, I know. Again, properly not the way most would react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, you are a millions times more so,\u201d Lenime says nervously taking my hand and kissing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut do you love me or only the dream?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo. We have always adored the dream of you and maybe even loved you. But it wasn\u2019t until we met you we actually fell in love with you,\u201d Lenime tells me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd we really are sorry for lying to you, but we can\u2019t let you leave us. I love you so much. I can\u2019t lose you. I don\u2019t want to live without you. Even if we have to stay with you on that planet we are going to now.\u201d Phe is whimpering as though crying, but without the tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut your family, people? You are meant to be ruler?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want any of them if I can\u2019t have you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease, please, please stay? Don\u2019t leave,\u201d Lenime pleads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI told you both many of times,\u201d I lick both of their cheeks in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am never leaving you. Yes, I am mad because you lied and a little hurt. But I love you both so much. You are my family. Our family,\u201d I reach down and rub my growing stomach. \u201cWho would take care of us, give our baby more beautiful siblings? Our baby needs their daddies as much as I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenime immediately attaches himself to me. Phe on the other hand is a bit most cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou want us still?
