Erin's Three

“Are you sure she’s gonna be at the Ball?” Kingston asks his friends as they take their seats on the plane.

“Well we’ve been to every other one in North America and the UK so why not try the Irish one,” Adam says shrugging his shoulders.

“But are you sure she’s Fae?” Kingston asks.

“For the millionth time Kinga, she is definitely a fucking fairy. I saw it when I saved her. You can’t fake fairy tears,” Adam says exasperatedly.

The guys all worked for a mining company in Northern Canada. That’s how they met. It didn’t take them long to realise that they not only did they all know the same person but that they all had the same feelings for her as well. They each had a photo of her in their lockers. Their friendship formed quickly, and they have shared a house together for the last seven years. They decided that they wanted to fly to Ireland to win over their girl. They know from her social media accounts that she moved to Ireland for University but that’s it.

“Fuck. Check this out,” Jye says and shows the guys a photo taken at last year’s Dublin Fairy and Dragon Ball. It’s a photo of Erin in a stunning gold and dark green deep v-necked dress with a split up one side. Her amazing iridescent wings on display and the tattoos visible on her arms and the leg peeking through the split. She is standing next her father with a drink in one hand and a smile on her face.

“Fuck, she’s hotter then I remember,” Kingston says readjusting his pants.

“Proves she’s Fae though,” Jye says with a grin.

“Yeah it does and not mated,” Kingston agrees.

“She could be. Or she could be married. It says that her dad is a committee member,” Adam says.

The guys go through photos from the Ball from previous years on the website.

“Shit. She’s hugging a dude in this one,” Kingston says.

“What does it say?” Adam asks.

“The only child and daughter of James Bentley is set to marry her chosen mate next weekend in the north. Her royal highness Queen Brighid will be in attendance for the ceremony. We wish Erin and Patrick a beautiful long life together,” Jye reads.

“Fuck,” Kingston and Adam groan out and let their heads fall back on to the seat.

“It just says her chosen mate, not her fated mate. He also doesn’t have wings so obviously isn’t a dragon or fairy. They all have their wings out for the Ball,” Jye adds.

“He could be a shifter. He’s not that tall so can’t be a wolf or bear,” Kingston says.

“He could be human,” Adam adds hopeful. “Check and see the birth registry. She’s bound to of had a kid with him, they’ve been married for how many years now?”

“Four years,” Kingston replies.

Jye and Kingston get to work going through hospital and birth registries and Adam goes through the Fae birth registry. They come up empty handed, they could only see all the babies born in the last year and because they didn’t know her married name it made things trickier.

The guys are tired when they get off the plane. They caught their flight to Dublin just three hours after finishing a twelve hour shift, with a stopover in Toronto. It was their last day. They have been looking for Erin for the last six years.

Fairies come into their wings and can find their mates at twenty one, so they started looking as soon as Kingston turned twenty one as Erin’s birthday is only nine days after his. Together, the guys have been saving their money and only spending on the bare essentials. They are hopeful that one of them is Erin’s mate but they have also gone through all the possibilities if none of them are mates with her. They are still determined to have her in their lives no matter what the outcome. They miss her.

Kingston is now twenty seven years old with two tattoos and both his nipples are pierced. He is the shortest of the three of them but is still tall for a fairy at 188cm and his wings are similar to a Ulysses butterfly, beautiful blues and black.

Jye is now twenty eight and is covered in tattoos all over his body including his neck. He is the tallest at 203cm and is slightly broader than Kingston as he is half dragon, half Fae. In human form if he spreads his deep blue dragon wings out, they have a span of almost 4.3 metres. The small patch of azure blue scales on his temples is the only way you can tell he is a dragon when his is in human form.

Adam is the oldest and more solid of the three, at thirty two. He is also half dragon and fairy. He has tattoos covering his chest, arms and legs, and sports a constant week old stubbly beard. His wings are a beautiful deep purple and his scales are a mix between violet and lavender which suit his 198cm height.

All three guys are fit and have brown eyes. Adam and Kingston both have brown hair, but Kingston has naturally tanned skin. Jye has blonde hair. They all crash as soon as their heads hit the pillows when they get to their hotel room. None of them slept on the six and a half hour flight from Toronto and it took another hour and a half to get through customs and to the hotel from the airport. They had been awake for twenty seven hours and their eyes were burning, but they felt a bit more at ease knowing they were closer to finding Erin.
