Red Hot Love: The Morningstar Series: Book 5
Red Hot Love – Chapter 19

Today was going…. Well, I thought that it was going great. Olive had actually came with Ozzy to walk me to class. She didn’t seem happy, but I sure was. And my Goddess, does she look beautiful today. Both of my mates do.

I couldn’t help myself when I teased Olive about Ozzy’s clothes. Then he just had to go, and say something about her not wearing anything under her skirt. I wanted nothing more than to replace out. It took all of my will power not to stop that elevator, and check for myself.

Hell, I would have been fine standing back while Ozzy checked.

When we got to class and Lily asked me to sit by her, I could tell that she only did it to rile Olive up. As thankful as I was for Lily’s little games, I didn’t want to push Olive. So, I politely declined while also making it obvious that I wanted to sit with my mates.

Then Alison had to come in, and open her damn mouth. Olive’s eyes started to glow red. It was a breathtaking sight. At first I didn’t understand it though, and then I realized that she was jealous. It was cute.

Ozzy even referred to her as our girl, and my heart was soaring. I know that Olive was upset about the whole situation though. It made me a bit sad that she wasn’t as accepting as Ozzy seems to be.

Will he stop seeing me now? If Olive asked him to stay away from me, would he? I wouldn’t blame him. I would feel torn too. I just hope that won’t be the case.

Everyone started talking about some kid named Ethan. When I asked who that was, I could see several nervous looks from people. Most looked smug though, like Ozzy and Lily.

Even Alison looked to be excited about me meeting Ethan. At first I thought that maybe it was a friend of everyone’s, and then Alison mentioned that he has been harrassing my girl.

Ezra still hasn’t surfaced, but that didn’t stop me from being pissed off. Then the fucker came into the classroom, and thought that he could speak to me however he wanted. All I could do was glare at him. I wanted nothing more than to rip his heart from his chest. I mean, I could.

What would anyone do?

That was the problem with Morningstar’s though. No one could really do anything. We can teleport from jail. We can’t die. No spells can hold us, so far anyways.

In all honesty, any of us could do whatever the hell we wanted, and not another soul would be able to do s**t about it. But that isn’t who we are. I know that we have to remain a certain way to avoid that kind of conflict. People are already scared of us as it is.

That didn’t help when it came to my mates though. I would burn this entire world to the ground for them. No matter the consequences. And I will start with this fucker. Espeically with that f*****g smirk directed at Olive. I wanted to wipe it from his face.

Thankfully, the teacher came in to distract me from him. I still kept my eye on Ethan though. Something about him is off, corrupt. Being the Devil’s grandson, I can pick up on these things. I’m not as good at it as my twin is, but I can still tell.

I wondered what my twin would do if he were in my position. Ares would kill Ethan with no hesitation I’m sure. I mean, he f*****g offered to help me kidnap my mates.

Half way through the day Olive rested her legs on the sides of my chair. I couldn’t help the swelling of my heart. She might not even mean it how I’m taking it, but I didn’t care.

At one point I had taken a risk, and started to lightly draw random patterns on her ankles. She never pulled away. I feel like I’m in pure heaven.

When lunch time rolled around the teacher announced that we would be having a history test afterwards. Ethan made a stupid remark to me about how they only learn about their people here.

That was fine with me. I know all about their history. Acutally, I know about all the history of the supernatural world. Well, most if it. I’m sure there are still things I need to learn.

Lily offered for us all to go to her apartment for lunch. When Olive asked if I was going my heart soared again. I didn’t want to push her so I gave her an out. Though I hoped that she would tell me it was fine.

My heart sank when she told me she’d rather I didn’t go. Ozzy, along with the rest of her friends weren’t very happy with her. I let them all know it was completely okay. Plastering a fake smile on my face, I watched as they all walked out. Ozzy gave me a longing look before following out after our girl.

Sighing, I got up, and managed to replace my way to the eating room. The only other people that were there when I got there were Josh and Ethan. Great. I’d have to grab something quickly and leave.

I grabbed a sweet tea from the fridge, and an apple. I turned to leave, and go back to the classroom, but was stopped. Ethan is leaning against the door blocking my exit.

Oh man, this guy has a death wish.

“So, you’re Ozzy and Olive’s thrid mate.” He said.

“Ethan don’t.” His friend said.

“Why? Because he’s a Morningstar?” Ethan laughed.

“You should listen to your friend.” I said. “Move.”

Ethan clicked his tongue. “No, I don’t think I will.” He said.

The i***t opened his mouth to say something else, but I cut him off before he could.

“Do you have a death wish?” I asked him. “Do you have any idea what I am capable of?”

Again, he opened his mouth, and again I stopped him.

“You think I won’t kill you still? Just because we’re teenagers?” I laughed.

“Listen here Ethan, I don’t want to kill you, I really don’t. It would be a lot of trouble for my family.”

Then I looked deep into his eyes.

“But I will if you do not leave my mates alone. You don’t know what the mate bond is like so, I’m trying to be patient with you.” I took a step towards him.

“Don’t think for a second that I won’t lose control over them. I don’t care who you are, what you can do, or what will happen. I will kill you before you can even beg for your life. No one will be able to stop me. No one will be strong enough to hold me back. No one will help you.”

With every word I took a step closer. I bent down so that I’m right in his face. He gulped, and I know he’s scared.

“Y-you wouldn’t. You’d get in troub-“

I laughed in his face.

“What are they going to do? Lock me up? I can teleport. Spell me? I’m a f*****g Tribrid, no spell can hold me. Kill me? I can’t die.” I chuckled. “Leave my mates alone. I will not tell you again.”

Then I leaned back. “Now move.”

Ethan moved out of my way, and I walked out of the room. As soon as I shut the door behind me I blew out a long breath. Holy s**t. That was super intense. Not that I didn’t mean every word, it’s just that I’ve never threatened someone before. I’m the loveable and loving one out of all of us. Well, aside from Relly I guess. Even she would have kicked his a*s though.

I made my way back to the classroom. Mrs. Gold was still there. I asked if it was okay that I sat at my desk while I ate. She seemed confused, but told me it was fine. I pulled out my homework to get a head start while I ate my apple.

My thoughts are on nothing, but my mates. I hope they are enjoying their lunch. Hopefully Ozzy didn’t stay made at Olive. I don’t want to come between them. We’re all supposed to be together anyways.

Before I knew it everyone was shuffling back in the classroom. Lily asked if I had a nice lunch. I lied and told her I did. I didn’t want to make Olive feel bad for leaving me alone.

We took the test, and went about our normal class for the day. The way they do school here is interesting. It’s small, and that makes it easier for us to remain in one room. I actually really like it. Even with my mates here I replace it easier to pay attention.

After Mrs. Gold had graded our tests she announced that I was the only one to get every question right. Ethan turned to look at me, and I smirked at him. He rolled his eyes, but ignored me. Fucker.

“Azai, I didn’t know you even knew anything about Fury history.” Lily said.

I turned to look at her. “I’m kind of a history buff.” I admitted.

“Really?” Ozzy asked.

I turned to him, and smiled. He’s so cute. I really do wonder if he has anything on under that hoodie.

“Yeah. I want to be a history teacher after I graduate. For the Anderson school. I want to teach supernatual history.” I told him.

“You want to be a teacher?” Olive asked.

I turned in my seat to face her. Gods, she’s just as breathtaking as Ozzy. Her deep brown eyes seem to go on forever.

“Yeah.” I nodded. “Why, is that weird?” I asked amused.

Olive shook her head.

“Why would that be weird? It’s a totally normal job.” She said.

I shrugged. “All of my other siblings joined the BOC after they graduated.” I said.

“I thought that Atiana ran the school?” Lily asked.

I nodded. “She does. This is her first year taking over though. She was in the BOC before that.” I told her.

“Aureaila isn’t part of the BOC either anymore.” Alison mentioned.

I turned to her, and frowned.

“She met her mate. She’s the Lycan Queen now.” I said.

Someone in the room gasped. I turned to see the small girl next to Josh. She is a quiet girl, or well she must be. I haven’t heard her talk at all. Her golden blonde hair is pulled back in a low ponytail. She has bright blue eyes, and she’s super pale.

“Uhm, do you know Ryce?” I asked her.

The girls face heated. “Uh, well, no not really.” She said.

I furrowed my brow. I wanted to ask her if she was lying or not, but I decided to leave it alone. The teacher dismissed us to go home. I guess since we were all just talking anyways. I didn’t want to go though.

Would they hang out with me if I asked?

“So, uh,” I started when Olive, Ozzy, and I got to the elevator. “Uhm, I-“

“You okay?” Ozzy asked. “Do you remember how to get to your room?” He asked.

“Uh, no.” I lied. “Do you think you guys could walk me there?” I asked.

The elevator doors opened, and the three of us shuffled in.

“We absolutely can.” Ozzy said.

I looked down at Olive. “Is that okay with you beautiful?” I asked.

My heart is beating so fast. Olive looked up at me. Even with the bored look in her eyes I was still mesmorized. Goddamn she is so stunning.

“I guess.” She stated, and then looked away.

I looked up at Ozzy. He’s smirking at me. His eyes trailed the length of our mate’s body. He bit his bottom l*p, and then turn his eyes to me.

Just like with Olive, Ozzy’s eyes raked over the length of my body. I could feel my face heat. A goofy grin spread across my face.

Is he thinking about Olive and me together? I know I’ve been thinking about them together. About all of us together.

By the time Ozzy’s eyes met my own, I knew there was heat in mine. Ozzy’s started to turn red. Olive stiffened between us, but I couldn’t pull my eyes from Ozzy’s. He leaned in closer to me. Is he going to k**s me?

The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. Olive ran through the doors like her a*s is on fire. The red faded from Ozzy’s eyes. He chuckled, and walked off after our girl. I followed him.

We walked to my room. I fiddled with the key before unlocking my door. I turned back to my mates.

“D-do you guys maybe want to hang out?” I asked nervously.

Olive said, “No,” at the same time that Ozzy said, “Yes”.

I just looked between the two. Olive glared up at our mate. Ozzy ignored her, and pushed past me to walk into my room. I turned back to Olive, and held the door open for her.

“No.” She stated before turning, and walking away.

I ran after her, and grabbed her hand. Sparks shot up my arm, and I nearly m****d. That was the first time I’ve touched her since the night we met. Olive turned around, but pulled her hand back from me.

“I promise I won’t be pushy or anything Olive.” I told her.

“I don’t want to hang out with you Azai. I thought that it was clear when I never answered your texts or calls, but I do not want you. I don’t. I don’t want to get to know you. I don’t want to give you a chance. I do not want to be mated to you.” She seethed.

It would have hurt less to get my a*s kicked by Bexley again. I knew it showed on my face too. I’ve never been good at hiding my emotions. Tears started to sting the back of my eyes, but I blinked them away.

“O-okay.” I said shakily. “I-I-I w-will tell O-Ozzy to l-l-leave then.” I stuttered out like an i***t.

“Why would you do that? If he wants to stay, that’s his problem.” She stated.

I met her eyes. “I won’t come between the two of you.” I said softly.

Olive rolled her eyes. “Please. Like you care. You’re a Morningstar. Spawn of Satan. And I’m supposed to believe you care?” She scoffed.

“Olive I do care. I care about you a lot, both of you.” I told her.

Again, she scoffed. “Save it. You might care, but I don’t.” She stated.

I just stared at her. My breathing started to come out harsher. I took in a deep shakey breath, and closed my eyes.

Calm down, calm down, calm down.

When I opened my eyes again Olive is still standing there staring at me. She has a scowl on her cute face. Even when she looks at me with all that hate she’s beautiful.

I reached up to touch her face before I could chicken out. Olive slapped my hand away before I could touch her though. It felt like someone just stabbed me in the gut. Yup, definitely would have hurt worse to get beat up again.

“Don’t ever touch me.” She seethed.

“Olive, please, just give me a chance.” I begged softly.

“A chance? What for? You don’t need us.” She said.

I gave her an incredulous look.

“You’re my mates, of course I need you.” I told her, but she only scoffed. “Is this because you guys think I’ve been sleeping with other people?” I asked her.

Olive rolled her eyes. “We felt the pain.”

“I know, Ozzy told me last night. That wasn’t what you think though-“

“I don’t care.” Olive stated. “You can li-“

I stepped up, and leaned down to get in her face. I’m seething at this point. Olive’s eyes went wide. She took a step back, and I took one forward, until she was backed into the wall of the hallway.

“You can say you don’t care all you want. Mean it even, but you’re going to listen to what I have to say Olive.” I stated lowly. Olive’s breath hitched.

“I was never with anyone. Neither of you might have cared about not seeing me, but it wasn’t like that for me. I was in a dark place, and no I did not drown myself in other people. I started training with the BOC memebers. Only so they could kick my a*s. I just wanted to feel something other than hollow. If I would have know you two would have felt it, I would have never done it. But I did NOT cheat on you. You and Ozzy were all I ever thought about Olive. I would never intentionally hurt you.” I stated.

“Everything okay out here?” Ozzy asked from my doorway.

I stepped back from Olive. “I’m sorry if I scared you.” I said. “I just wanted you to listen to me.”

Ozzy walked over to us with a frown on his face.

“You okay baby?” He asked Olive.

Olive nodded. “I’m going home.” She said.

“Ozzy will go with you.” I said.

“Uh, no.” He said shocking both Olive, and me.

Both our eyes snapped to him.

“What?” We both asked.

Mine came out as a breath, while Olive’s came out accussingly.

“I’ll walk you home if you want baby, but I’m staying with Azai. I need help with some homework, and I actually enjoy being around our third mate.” He stated.

A small smile fell on my lips. Olive turned to me with a glare. Just like that, my smile fell. Her words hurt me more than she even knows.

“Fine. Stay here then.” She stated, and walked to the elevator.

Ozzy turned to me.

“Maybe you should stay with her.” I said softly.

Ozzy shook his head. “Nope. I am going to walk her home, but I’m coming right back.”

I watched as he walked off after her. My heart warmed. At least one of them want me.
