"We're so glad you're feeling more safe with us Akemi," whispered Azriel fondly and Arian nodded too. Akemi looked up at him and smiled lopsidedly before wincing at his magic's anger again. He knew now that he really did feel for both Arian and Azriel and he was going to have to get his magic to deal with it. Slowly he let go of the tight hold he had on it and turned to the boys.

"Um…I have something you need to know," he said softly.

Chapter 5

Arian and Akemi gasped as Akemi's magic came out. Red strands curled around him and the air was filled with an overwhelming feeling of pressure. The red strands flowed gracefully in swirling hypnotising patterns. Looking closely both Arian and Ariel notice the red magic contained thin trails of a deep green. The strength of the magic was so great that both older boys felt as if a large weight had settled on their chests and that they would never breathe again.

However Azriel's sensitive vampire magic was giving him signs that not everything was alright. Although Akemi only had one aura the fact that it had two such opposite colours was strange, what was stranger still was that his magic had two textures. Everybody's magic had a certain feel to a vampire's very sensitive and dominate magic. Akemi had two. Azriel focused and stubbornly pushed out his magic into the pressure of Akemi's. His vampire magic swirled softly and his dominating nature tried to get Akemi's magic to submit. Akemi himself shuddered and gave a soft gasp. What happened next caused Arian to start in shock and Azriel to frown deeply. Something was just not right with Akemi's magic.

As Azriel's dominate magic touched it, Akemi's magic….split in half. The two trails were different colours, one was the usual red but the other was a much softer green. The green trail curled in on itself submissively while brushing softly against Azriel's magic and then retreating to hide behind the red trail, which was doing the exact opposite. The red trail lashed out to break the new found connection between Azriel and the green trail. Akemi was shuddering in his arms and seemed to react to the touch of the red trail himself. As it curled around the green magic Akemi would screw his eyes shut and whimper. Finally it became too much.

"Please! Please stop it!" Akemi gasped shaking. "Pull your magic back Azriel! Please!" Azriel reacted instantaneously, pulling away his magic and rubbing circles on Akemi's back to try and calm his breathing. Arian's eyes were golden and he was growling softly, his whole body tense. Through both his mind and Azriel's hundreds of possibilities were running. 'Was Akemi possessed? Did he have a magical disorder? Could they help him?' Akemi's breathing began to slow and he turned to the two boys his eyes fearful.

"He doesn't like you touching me," he whispered finally. Azriel squeezed Arian's hand until the werewolf's hand went white.

"Who doesn't Akemi?...who?" he replied softly. Akemi shook his head.

"Him, my magic of course, he doesn't like it, says that your both trying to make me trust you before you hurt me, just like everyone else did!" his voice became slowly higher and by the end of the sentence he had scrambled out of the boy's laps and was trying to pull open the curtain.

Azriel grabbed Harry around the waist and pulled him back, the red magic erupted, attacking Azriel and Arian watched in horror as he screamed. Harry sat holding his head between his hands, his eyes tightly scrunched closed, and tears leaking down his cheeks.

"Please! Please stop! He didn't want to hurt me!" he shouted "Stop it, stop it!!!! Please Tom!!!!!!"

Arian's head whipped around and his eyes narrowed. A name, then the magical split was possession, not a disorder. He swore, there wasn't much he could do unless he knew who it was that was possessing Akemi. Obviously the person was a man as his name was Tom, he was highly possessive of Harry, which suggested there was a connection between the two. Arian's memory rushed back to when Akemi's magic had touched his own in the hospital wing. Such strength he had never felt before, and he knew instantly that the possessor must be Akemi's third mate. Azriel and he were strong but there was no way they, even together, could ground that much magical strength.

That must mean the third mate was incredibly strong and possesive, which meant a definite dominate personality. Not that he'd thought any different, with three dominants Akemi would be cared for completely which made Arian glad, however three dominants also meant fights were going to break out once in a while. The only way such a dominant personality would stop hurting them is if they showed him that they were Akemi's dominants too and were trying to help their sub. They'd need to show their status as seconds in the mating bond, Arian could feel that there was no way either him or Azriel could match equal with this person.

Grabbing Azriel by the arm he forced his magic to project his thoughts across Azriel's natural vampire telepathy. Azriel immediately went limp and Arian followed suit. They allowed their magic to reach out and brush the red magic much as Akemi's green magic had before. They projected all the feelings they had for Akemi and tried to show as much proof of their mating bond to Akemi to prove their honesty to the possessor. The red magic paused and suddenly changed wrapping possessively around them too. Arian and Azriel shivered, the magic was strong, not quite as strong as Akemi's but still very strong. It had a sinister aura and seemed undeniably powerful. Suddenly there was a voice. 'Look after him, I hold you responsible…..and I recognise your mating with him….and with me.' And then the red presence disappeared.

Akemi was still sobbing and flung himself at Arian and Azriel. They clutched him stunned. "I'm sorry! So sorry! Sorry!" he wept clinging to them. Arian snapped out of his daze first and rocked Akemi softly.

"It wasn't your fault little one, everything is okay now, and Azriel is a vampire, he's much stronger than he looks, please stop crying," he whispered into Akemi's hair. The sobs subsided slowly as Azriel joined in reassuring the smaller mate that he was not at fault. After a short while Akemi looked up and sat cocooned between his two larger mates.

"I was just scared, it's happened before and she…." Akemi trailed off shaking.

"You've lost control before?" prompted Azriel. "Tell us what happened Akemi, it will help," he said softly. Akemi nodded and took a deep breath.

"She died," he whispered. "He thought she wanted to hurt me with the flame, but really she just didn't know she was a fire elemental. She was only 6, she didn't understand! But…but he thought she was dangerous to me and….killed her." He said wringing his hands. "I was so worried that Azriel would…would…" he sobbed again and Azriel took him into a hug.

"Do not worry little one, it would take much more than that to hurt either of us. We will always protect you from now on. Do you understand who Tom is?" asked Azriel. Akemi looked up,

"Tom who?" he asked innocently. Azriel and Arian exchanged glances.

"When you cried out for him to stop hurting Azriel you said 'stop, stop Tom'." The werewolf explained frowning at Akemi in confusion.

Akemi's face mirrored his frown. "I...I...don't know, he's just…him." he stated.

"Okay, well it's late, let's not talk on this anymore, we'll discuss it sometime later when you feel more comfortable discussing it okay Akemi? But make no mistake, we will be talking about it." Said Arian sternly. Akemi nodded and smiled his eyes had a glint in them, suddenly so much more full of life.

Arian stared at him in confusion. Akemi's body language was much less tense than before, relaxed and Arian found himself smiling even given the situation.

"Do you feel better with us now Akemi?" he asked softly, and Akemi blushed.

"He said you were safe, that while he was busy you would protect me," he whispered shyly. Azriel smiled too stroking Akemi's hair.

"Well he was right, we heard him too and we promise to protect you, you can feel safe with us Akemi, we won't let anyone hurt you anymore." Replied Azriel.

"Is that why you feel safer with us?" Arian prompted and Akemi nodded

"I trust him with my life, if he says you will protect me, then I know you won't hurt me," he stated matter of factly. Akemi giggled at the looks on his mates faces before kissing each of them on the cheek in a bold act. He blushed furiously and then wiggled out of their hold and pulled back the curtains before disappearing. They two older boys sat stunned for a moment before turning eyes on each other.

"Did he just?..." Azriel asked gobsmacked.

"I think things are suddenly going to be even harder to handle," said Arian. "While it is good he now trusts us, we still don't know who our third mate is, we have to be careful, he has an innate sway over Akemi who seems unable to deny him….and he doesn't even know who he is, I'm not certain Akemi even realises he is his third mate." Azriel nodded and they turned to the curtain but couldn't pull it back.

"The charms were still in place…" said Azriel in surprise, "He walked straight through them as if they weren't even there!" they sighed together. "Having the little mystery as a mate is going to be a ride," he said softly.

Arian nodded and removed the charms before leaving for his own bed, hundreds of thoughts running through his head, but most prominent was this new mystery. Another mate? One more powerful than me and Azriel both?....Tom?……
