Paul was passing back and forth, trying to regain so control. After Collen finished her tale Paul felt like he was about to go rabid. "How'd you stay awake?" Marko asks Colleen, watching Paul in the corner of his eyes. Colleen sniffled and pulled her legs up to her chest.

"Vampires normally became comatose during the day time." Paul adds, his voice rough and shaky.

"Survival." She whispered. "I knew the daytime would be my only chance to escape. I forced myself to stay awake and run. I didn't stop until the sunrise of the next day. By then I was already a state away. I just forced myself to stay awake. I didn't give in to the eternal sleep."

"Is that even possible?" Marko asks.

"We can ask David, but either way she's strong for a newborn. We barely can get up right at sunset."

The sound of feet caught their attention. The three of them look up to see that Dwayne and David had returned and Dwayne was carrying boxes of Chinese food, their favorite. "Did you get any blood?" Paul asks, scanning the two over. David rolls his eyes, pulling out a blood bag from the inside pocket of his coat. He tosses it to Paul, who catches it easily. "Here, you." He moves and takes a seat by Colleen once more and rips the bag open to allow her to drink. He holds it up to her mouth, her hands moving to wrap around his as she begins to drink. Paul kisses her temple, running a hand through her hair. Marko moved on her other side, resting his chin on her shoulder and cooing loving words into her ear. David made a face, but all three vampires ignored him.

Dwayne moved to the chandelier and started eating from a box of Chinese food. "I thought vampires don't need to eat." Colleen whispers, taking a minute to speak instead of drinking.

"We don't, but it helps with the cravings. We really only need to feed once a night, but the cravings never go away, so we eat regular food too. It helps. When you finish with that we'll get you some." Paul explains to her. She nods and goes back to drinking. She isn't as vicious as they were with blood. She was sipping her blood rather dainty, it made Paul grin.

"Did she tell you anything?" David asks, taking a seat in his chair with a box of food, breaking up the little world that the three vampires were in.

Paul's anger came back, he grit his teeth to keep from lashing out. "Yes." Was all he was able to say, squeezing his eyes shut to keep from giving into his vampire side. He felt Colleen's hand move off his and to his cheek, causing him to relax slightly.

"Marko." David calls, obviously reading just how close to the line Paul was. "Care to fill me in?" Marko looks over at David and shook his head.

She needs a minute to breathe, David. Paul's barely holding on. She'll be okay, it can wait until she is sleeping tonight. Marko spoke using the mind link between them. He could see annoyance and frustration come across David's face, but when he looked at Paul it was replaced with worry. Deep down, David cared deeply for his brothers, Marko knew this. He's seen it David's softer side before.

"Paul, go feed. We got a couple of hours before sunrise. Make it quick."

"I'm fine." Paul growls.

"That wasn't a suggestion, Paul." Paul looks at David with a glare. "You could end up hurting her." David says in a softer tone, causing Paul's anger to subside a bit.

"She'll be okay, Pauly, I'll watch over her." Marko promises. Paul nods before leaning over and kissing her cheek.

"I'll be back love." She looks up at him, having finished her blood bag. He leans down and kisses her bloody lips, licking his own when he pulled away. If she could blush she would. "Be back soon." Paul promises before quickly making his way out.

"I'll take that for you." Marko takes the bag and gets up. She watches him as he walks over to a trash bag that she didn't notice and tosses the blood bag inside. At least they clean up after themselves. Marko swipes a carton on his way back, along with a pair of chopsticks. "Here you go, my lady." She smiles and accepts the food as he sits back down beside her. "Let me introduce you properly to the pack. You already know Paul and I." Marko says. "That's our leader, David." Colleen lifts her eyes away from her food and over to David. He was intense, staring at her with cold calculating blue eyes, but she could see a warmth in them whenever he looked at the boys around him. "And the ever so silent man in the corner is Dwayne." Marko teases, giving his best Cheshire smile. Dwayne glances up long enough to make eye contact with Colleen and nod before he went back to his noodles. "This little one is Colleen." He tells the boys. "It's just the four of us." Marko tells her. "Unless of course you count…" Marko trails off as he notices David's look.

She's my mate. We can trust her, David. Marko thought to his leader.

We don't know her.

She's my mate. We can trust her, Davey, please. David looked away and huffs. Colleen looks back and forth between them confused. "Technically Max is our maker, but David's really the leader of us." Marko carried on saying, causing Colleen to look back at him. "It's Max's blood that turns us, but it's David that we follow."

"It sounds nice." Colleen says, loud enough for David to hear without using his vampire senses. "Having someone you trust enough to follow." Marko's grip tightens on Colleen, pulling her onto his lap and keeping her tightly against his chest.

"You're Paul's and I's mate. David will look after you just like he does with the rest of us." Colleen tucks her head under Marko's chin.

"What does that mean?" She whispers. "Mate. You and Paul keep using that word."

"You have so much to learn, little fang." David spoke up. The nickname made her smile. David didn't feel the same as Eric. He was intense and a bit scary, but she didn't feel in danger with him. She felt he was simply on guard around her, which she could understand. She was after all a stranger. "As we do with you. How about you tell us a bit about yourself?"

"David, it can wait." Marko says, holding her tighter. "She's been through enough."

"Something that only you and Paul have knowledge of."

"Dav-"

"It's okay." Colleen whispers. "Can they give you the details later? Will just the simple facts work?" David looks over at Colleen. "I rather not go fully into it again." David's eyes move back to Marko, who looked worried for his mate. He didn't want her to get upset again. He was good at keeping face. Appearing to be just a sweet innocent kid, but deep down he was the real monster of the group. He was holding it in, but he wanted to go rabid just like Paul. He wanted to rip apart her old pack and drown in their blood. He wanted to kill.

"That'll work." David's eyes remain on Marko's.

"I…" Colleen opens and closes her eyes, trying to find the words. She didn't know Dwayne or David and she was not comfortable around them yet. Talking to Marko and Paul felt natural, but talking to them… They weren't Eric, but they also weren't Paul or Marko.

"Come on, little fang." Little fang. Was that to be her new name?

"It's my maker that's after me. The one who turned me, that's what you call them, isn't it?"

"A marker is the one who's blood you drank. The one who made you who you are. The leader of the group."

"I thought you were the leader of this group not Max?"

"Max isn't a good maker." Marko says. "He turned David and David took to picking us out and giving us Max's blood. Max has no real power with us. He barely tolerates us. It's David who we follow. Max should be the leader, but he's not. He just lets David do all the work, not that we complain. David is a great leader." Marko informs her, kissing her temple.

"Eric." She says. "That's my maker." David frowns, trying to place the name, but he has never heard the name before.

"Not one I know." David admits.

"He's the one after me. I can't stay here." Marko's grip tightened.

"And Paul and I already told you, we'll protect you."

"Marko-"

"A mate is the person a vampire is meant to spend their eternal life with. Their soul mate. A vampire can have more than one, but it isn't as common. Paul and I both are your mate as you are ours. Our job is to protect you and love you." He kisses her temple. "We'll keep you safe, Colleen."

"But you'll be hurt. I don't want-"

"Nothing will happen to the boys." David cuts in. "And nothing will happen to you. You are their mate and as Marko said, it's his job to look after you. His and Paul's. And you being their mate means you are apart of this pack and that makes it all of our jobs to keep you safe. That is how a pack should be. A family."

"Welcome to the pack, little sister." Dwayne speaks up, causing Colleen to look at him completely speechless. She never had a family. Her parents gave her up when she was born and she had spent all her life in the system. Tracy was the closest thing she had to family… The thought of Tracy brought tears to her eyes.

"Oh, no, she's crying again." Marko says, beginning to panic at the sight of the tears. He was no good with crying girls. Paul was the best at dealing with girls in general. Marko looks to David for help, but he was too busy being amused by Marko's reaction to help. Marko looked to Dwayne, who gave him an apologetic guilty smile.

"I'm fine." She sniffles. "I just never had a family before." Marko's undead heart broke upon hearing her words.

"Well, now you do." David says, looking away from her, obviously not all that comfortable with showing affection towards the female vampire. It was different with the boys. They've been together for years and they're also boys. A pat on the shoulder, ruffle of the hair, a kind word or smile once in awhile. Other than that they just mess around with each other.

"I don't want any of you to get hurt because of me." Colleen says, her eyes going back to Marko.

"Nobody's getting hurt except your old pack. In fact, I have an idea." Marko says.

Can we make her apart of the pack officially? Tie her to us and not her old pack? It might help them no longer track her and it'll make it easier for us to protect her. Do you know how to do that?

David looks at Marko for a minute before standing. He grabs the wine bottle and walks over to the couch. "We can tie you to us, make you apart of this pack, but you must unbound yourself to your old one."

"How do I do that?" Colleen asks, a bit desperate. She wanted so badly to be gone from that pack.

"There is two ways and you can decide on which you want." She nods.

"What are the two ways?" She asks.

"The first way is what we do with vampires that don't have a mate in the pack. It's more dangerous. Your blood is tied to those of your other pack. You must get rid of the tie. Which means we must bleed you dry."

"What?" Marko asks, his eyes going wide. "No way."

"We drain you," David carries on, as if Marko hadn't just spoken. "And when your blood is all but gone we have you drink from this bottle. It contains the blood of each of us and of our maker. It'll rejuvenate you, keep you breathing, and then you will feed to regain your strength. We'd need blood bags, at least five to get you back to feeling how you do now. This process has a fifty percent chance of working. It might not work and in that case, it could kill you. We have to get almost all your blood out to clean your blood of theirs. You would be almost dead in that case." Colleen forces herself to speak.

"What's the other option?"

"Your blood is tied to that of your old pack, but your soul, your vampire soul, is tied to Marko's and Paul's vampire soul. Completing the bond between the three of you will erase your connection to everything except them and once that is done then you can drink from the bottle and be connected to the rest of us. This process is obviously much better, there is no danger in it."

"Then why bother giving her the other option?" Marko asks.

"Because once you bound yourself to the boys there is no going back. You can get rid of the blood ties, but you can get rid of the soul bond. You will forever be stuck with Marko and Paul."

"We're mates, aren't we already?" Colleen asks.

"No, we all get a choice in life. You could choose to be with them or choose to reject them. If you bond yourself to them then there is no longer an option to reject them. You will never be able to walk away. Some mates don't care about that, but others like to have the option in case they so chose it."

"Do mates ever reject each other?"

"You'd be surprised." David says, causing Colleen to frown.

"You speak from experience?"

"Not in the way you think. I haven't found my mate yet." David answers. "What is your choice?"

"I…"

"If you choose the bond, Colleen, there is no going back." Colleen looks at Marko, his eyes begging her to take that option. She barely knew them and while she did belong with them she didn't have to be with them. She had the option to leave them. She can't ever leave them if she binds herself to them.

"I shouldn't make a choice until Paul comes back. It isn't fair for him to be left out of this. He should get a say in this. I'm not just binding myself to them, they're binding themselves to me. This effects them just as much as it affects me. I want to wait for him." David smiles a real smile. He wanted her to say that. This was a test. He was testing her.

"Very well, little fang, we will wait for Paul."

Paul didn't come back until an hour before sunrise and by that point, they were all tired. Colleen was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. She hasn't gotten much sleep while she has been on the run and as a newborn that was almost fatal. "We need to have that discussion now." David says, causing Paul to frown.

"What discussion?"

"She's tired, David, let's wait until tomorrow." Marko says.

"No." Colleen forces herself t sit up. "If we wait they'll find me. I'm sure they already have. We need to make a choice now." David nods in agreement. Colleen looks up at the confused Paul. "David knows of two ways to sever my ties with my old pack, but I want your opinion on what choice I should make."

"Okay, what's the options?" Paul asks, taking a seat beside her.

"We let David drain her dry until she is almost dead and then let her drink from the bottle and five blood bags, this process could very well kill her." Marko informs Paul, causing to grow still.

"No."

"That's what I said." Marko agrees.

"Hush." Colleen says to Marko. "The other option is just as dangerous in its own way. We can complete our bound and bind ourselves together. If we do that then there is no walking away from each other."

"We're mates." Paul says. "We'll stay together no matter what."

"But we got the options to change our mind and walk away if we want to. We can't do that if we bind ourselves together. We can't-"

"You can't reject us if you do this." His words are harsh, causing her to flinch.

"No." She whispers. "I wasn't think that."

"Oh really? Then why is it such a big deal if we can't walk away? Marko and I don't seem bothered, but you-"

"I don't want you to regret being with me. Either of you." She tells them, causing them to stare at her. "I never had a family before. No one ever wanted me…" Paul moves to kneel in front of her.

"We're not going to want to throw you away, Collie-"

"Don't call me that." Paul winces.

"Sorry. Sorry." he apologizes, forgetting that that was what Eric called her. "I just… Marko and I won't regret being with you, Colleen. You're our mate. We want to be with you. I promise we'll never change our minds on this."

"This choice will also take the less time. We need to do something before the sunrise." David says. "If you three bind yourself together then it'll erase the other pack's ties to Colleen. We can worry about adding in the rest of us tomorrow, but we need to do something now. This process will take no more than an hour, the other will take hours." Colleen looks at Paul.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Defiantly." Both boys answers, causing Colleen to nod.

"Okay, what do we do?" David looks away from her and at Paul.

"You both need to sleep with her."

"Sleep? What about the-" Marko grunts as Paul hits him upside the head. "What was that… oh." Marko says, sudden realization hitting him quite literally upside the head. "Why didn't you just say that?" David rolls his eyes, causing Colleen to giggle.

"All three of you will need to reach climax at the same time and when you do you all must feed directly from the vein of each of you. Paul, you and Marko must also be bind together for this to work."

"Okay." Marko nods.

"I'm already tied to Marko, so I don't see the big deal in this."

"Paul…" David begins. "This will be different."

"How so?"

"You're not tying you three together as siblings like we all did."

"Yeah, we know, we're tying ourselves to Colleen as our mate." David gave them a look. "What?" Marko asks, while Paul tries to figure out what David was getting at.

"Oh." He suddenly says. "We're tying ourselves to Colleen as mates and we're also tying us to each other as mates."

"You just repeated yourself." Marko points out.

"Marko, sweetie, Paul means you and him will be tying yourselves as mates." Colleen says, causing Marko's eyes to widen.

"You can create a mate bound, it won't be as strong as what a true mated pair are like you and Colleen are, Marko just like she is with Paul, but you and Paul will still be mates, just not as strongly as with Colleen. Colleen will be the thing that binds you all." Marko met Paul's eyes.

"If we do this then all three of us are mates together. Not just with Colleen." Paul says.

"We can still do the-"

"No." Marko cuts Colleen off. "We can't. We don't have enough time to do the other option and frankly, I don't want to risk your life for it. I'm okay with it if you are, Paul." Paul nods.

"Okay."

"Alright, go off and do it. We might be pack, but I rather not have to watch it." David drawls, going to his chair and relaxing.

"Come on, Colleen." Paul takes one hand and Marko takes the other. They lead them to the back of the cave where a well hidden doorway lays. "This is the mated chambers. It hasn't been used before, we all usually sleep in the main chamber, but now that we're going to be mates, we'll be sleeping in here." Paul tells her as he leads her inside. Inside there is ten different chambers that make up a bedroom with a bolder in front of it to act as a doorway.

"David's the leader so he gets the one at the very end. We can claim any of the others." Marko tells her.

"Let's go with this one. This one has the bigger bed. We'll need more than a queen for the three of us." Paul lets her hand go and pushes the boulder out of the way with no effort. "When we moved in here we made sure to decorate the mated chamber. We never know when we'll find our mate and we want each room to be prepared for it." The room was beautiful. It reminded Colleen of a king's bedroom in a castle. There was a very large four-poster canopy bed. It was made of mahogany wood with crimson red silk curtain surrounding the bed that matched the red silk sheets. There was also a couple of dressers for them, a desk for writing, a large plush chair for reading, and candles scattered all around. The furniture was all the same mahogany wood, while the chair was red plush with a bit of mahogany showing. The entire room was beautiful.

"Do you like it?" Marko asks. Colleen nods and kisses both of their cheeks.

"I love it."

"Okay." Paul lets out a slow breath. "Let's get started then." He pulls his jacket off and tosses down on the floor. Marko follows his league. "Relax, I can feel you shaky from here." Paul whispers, moving to Colleen and kissing her. The kiss wasn't like the others. This one was slow and sensual. It caused warmth to pool between her legs. Paul scooped her up and laid her down on the bed, while Marko undresses. "You're so beautiful." He whispers. He moves and begins to kiss down her neck, while Marko works on undoing her boots. Paul undoes her belt and Marko pulls her jeans off. They switch position to allow Paul to undress further. Marko kisses Colleen's lips, his kisses are more playful, but still just as heated.

"Marko." She moans as he slips his hands under her shirt and pulls it over her head. She opens her eyes and allows herself to look at him. He was the smallest of the four boys, but that did not mean he was that small in general. His body is small and lithe, but what he lacked in height he made up for down below. She could barely breathe as she took him in. Nine inches long, two inches thick around, covered it tight curly blonde hair, the tip dripping with precum. He stood full at attention.

Paul moves to kneel on the bed beside Marko, moving to undo her bra, while Marko pulls her underwear off. Paul was bigger than Marko. The other three boys were all roughly the same height, but Paul was still skinnier than the others with less muscles, but there was still plenty there for Colleen to see. He was a bit bigger than Marko, about two inches longer and an inch thicker, the curls on his cock was darker than Marko's.

"Paul's going to be the one to take your pussy." Marko whispers, kissing down her neck and to her chest. "He's bigger." His mouth captures a plump breast, causing her to gasp. Paul moves and takes the other one. While Marko was gentle and sweet, Paul was more rough and hungry. Paul takes a gentle bite of Colleen's nipple, making her whimper. He soothed it over with his tongue. Marko is all focused on sucking her boob like a newborn babe. Both sensations were pleasurable to Colleen. She moaned and whined in the bed as they ravished her tits.

When Paul is satisfied with the number of hickies he left on her breast, he moves his kisses down her stomach. "Can you lay on your side?" Marko asks once he takes his mouth off her. She does as he asks. Marko kisses down her back, while Paul moves to her ankles and kisses back up.

Do you mind if I move her onto my lap? This isn't really the best position for this. Marko thought to Paul.

What do you have in mind?

I want to finger her and get her ready for me.

I want to taste her.

We're going to be mates soon, Paul, mind as well get used to being near each other in such a way. Paul nods and pulls back. Marko pulls Colleen on to his lap, his fingers moves to circle her asshole. Paul moves to settle himself between Marko's and Colleen's legs. He kisses up her thighs, nosing her center. Pauly.

What? Paul snaps in his mind.

This isn't any better. Paul rolls his eyes and huffs.

"What's wrong?" Colleen asks, a bit breathless.

"Marko isn't comfortable." He says sarcastically, earning a glare from the little blonde.

"What can I do to make it good for both of you?" Colleen asks.

"Well, what if…" Marko trails off a bit embarrassed.

Tell me.

What if you let her straddle your face and then I can move behind her and work that way.

Putting our dick right next to mine.

We're going to be wanting each other's dicks when this is over anyways. Paul rolls his eyes before grabbing Colleen while laying down. She squeaked as he pulled her on top of him. "What are you-" She broke off in a gasp as Paul pulls her pussy directly on top of his face. She put her hands on the cold wall, while Paul lets his mouth work her. "Oh, Paul!" She moans. Marko hesitates for a minute, debating the best position.

Oh for the love, Marko just touch my goddamn dick and get it over with. Get the awkwardness out of the way. Marko rolls his eyes and huffs, straddling Paul's hips, his cock settled against Paul's. Paul grunts at the feeling, but he ignores it in favor for Colleen's sweet taste. She tasted like strawberries and smelt like it too.

Marko frowns. "Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we got less than an hour now for sunrise. I don't want to rush, but we have to." Paul moves Colleen onto his chest.

"How much time?"

"Forty-five minutes."

"Fuck. Did David say we had to it all at the same time?"

"Yeah." Marko nods.

"Fuck. You're gonna hurt worst with Marko taking you from behind." Paul tells her. "We'll both focus on stretching her there. It won't be as bad when I take her from the front."

"Okay." Paul and Marko move quickly, grabbing the lube from the bedside table, coating their fingers and quickly stretching her. Paul used his other hand to stretch her pussy. He puts three fingers in right away, she whimpered but lets him do what he had to. Paul and Marko both had one finger in her ass, trying to stretch her quickly.

"I'm sorry that we have to be so rough and quick." Paul says.

"Just hurry, Paul, we're running out of time. I've had it worst, remember?" Paul growls.

"Fine." He didn't waste any more time. He pushed her back, causing Marko to stumble off of Paul's waist. Paul thrusts inside, causing Colleen to gasp. Marko quickly covers his cock in lube before pushing into her from behind.

Colleen cries out at the feeling of being so full. "I'm sorry." Marko says as both boys begin to thrust. Paul rubs her clit with his fingers to get her to relax more and for her pleasure to build. She clung on to the cold wall as the boys move in sync with one another. It was painful, but also very good feeling. She could feel her pleasure growing, her climax getting closer.

"I'm close." She cries.

"Me too." Paul grunts. Marko bit hit lip.

"I… I can't hold on much longer. She's so fucken tight." Marko curses.

"Bite, now!" Paul orders. Both boys took a side of her neck and bit down as they spilled their seeds inside her. Colleen cries out and bites into Paul's neck. They each take a gulp of the blood before trading necks. Paul and Marko bites into each other and Colleen turns to bite into Marko's neck, all three still climaxes. They collapse on top of each other once they finish climaxing and drinking. Marko pulls off her and collapses beside Paul.

"I can feel it." Colleen whispers. A tingly, electric, a buzz was shooting up her body.

"Me too." Paul grunts.

Can you hear me, Colleen? Marko questions.

Yes! Yes, I can. Did it work?

Yeah, it worked, darling. Paul answers.

"I'm exhausted." Colleen sighs.

"Sleep, darling. The sun is rising. Sleep now." Marko sighs.
