Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 120. Sounds bad
LiaThe dragon shifter showed up, climbing into the back of the truck. I was sitting there with him, wishing he would stop staring at me so strangely. He was looking at me as if he knew me but the two of us didn’t know each other!“You seem familiar,” the dragon shifter said, his golden eyes studying me with unnerving intensity.I stiffened. “We’ve never met.”A small, almost amused smirk played on his lips. “Of course. And yet…” He tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over me like he was searching for something. “There’s something about you. Almost as if we have met before. In another life, maybe.”I swallowed, my heart pounding against my ribs. “That’s not possible.”“Isn’t it?” His voice was smooth, but there was something else beneath it—something ancient, knowing. “I’ve lived long enough to believe in more than just what’s in front of me.”I held my ground, forcing my voice to stay steady. “Then maybe it’s just a trick of the mind.”He studied me for a long moment before h

LiaAfter that startling revelation, I decided I needed to spend some quality time with my mates.It was a lot to take in when you realize that your ancestors double-crossed a bunch of dragon shifters to save the world. Then you go ahead and screw it up. The you is me.I was the one who messed it up but if they had just told me the truth then everything would’ve been fine. Maybe we could’ve come with some way to keep the dragons at bay.Right now, I didn’t want to think about it. We were still at the hotel, trying to figure out what the hell we were doing. Simone was with me in her room with her mates out getting something to eat. It was giving us a chance to talk.I flopped onto the hotel bed with a sigh, staring up at the ceiling. “I need to figure out how to spend some quality time with them.”This was what I wanted to focus on right now. I spent some quality time with my mates and tried to distract myself from everything that was going on.She glanced at me, smiling.I stared back

LiaMeeting with the coven wasn’t something I wanted to do, but I had to do it. There was little choice in the matter as I saw it.My mates were supportive, and so was the rest of my pack. They understood that if we didn’t do this and strike a deal with the Rosewater Clan then we were thoroughly fucked.And so was the world.I almost couldn’t blame the coven for deciding to let it burn. They weren’t as powerful as they once were, and their hard work at looking over the dragons was now over.But they never told us this. They never bothered to warn people or explain to me what my connection was to the coven. Now we were scrambling around last minute, trying to get this dragon situation under control.They responded to us, taking their elder, agreeing to meet. We would release them, and they would assist us.Some of my mates were against it, thinking they were going to betray us. I didn’t trust them as far as I could throw them, but I was desperate.In the morning, we met on the edge of

Rain"Are you guys seriously not freaking out about this?" I demand, pacing the length of the room. "We have to go to the dragon stronghold. Under the ground. Somewhere no one even knows the location of! How is that not terrifying?"Colby leans back against the wall, arms crossed, looking way too relaxed for the situation. "It’s a challenge. We’ve faced worse."I stare at him. "Faced worse? Colby, these are dragons. Not some rogue pack looking for a fight. Not some pissed-off witches. Dragons!" I throw my hands up, barely resisting the urge to shake him. "They breathe fire. They eat people. And we have to go into their territory, underground, where they have every advantage.""Sounds like an adventure," Colby says with a smirk.I groan. "Of course, you’d say that."Matt, sitting on the couch, rubs a hand down his face. "I’m not saying I’m thrilled about it either, Rain. But what choice do we have? If this is the only way to put them back to sleep, we have to try.""Try? TRY?" My voice

JesseIt took a day for us to find the entrance to the dragon stronghold. Apparently, there was more than one way there which made sense.The coven knew them all. If they had simply shared this info with us, we never would’ve found ourselves in this position.But here we were.The first step was going down this embankment and following the river. We can to a cabin, Lia muttering a few magical words once we were inside and at what looked like a dead end.It vanished, revealing a thick forest.“After you,” Rain said, grinning and trembling at the same time.Rolling my eyes, I grabbed his arm and dragged him along with me. We might’ve been teasing him about coming with us, but there was no way he was getting out of this.“Come on, Rain. Stop being such a baby.”He dug his heels into the ground, looking desperately at Lia, Colby, and Matt.“None of them can help you, Rain,” I said, smirking.“I’m going to die.”Lia sighed, pushing past us. “All of us have a chance to die, but at least we

RainI gave a slow clap as the barrier went down. “And just like that, Lia has officially out-magicked every ancient wizard in history. Someone get this girl a trophy.”Colby groaned. “That was awful.”Matt shook his head. “I’d say ‘do better,’ but I know you won’t.”Lia rubbed her temples like I was physically giving her a headache. “Rain, I just exerted a ridiculous amount of energy breaking an ancient magical defense. I will not hesitate to hex your mouth shut.”Jesse exhaled slowly, looking like he was reconsidering every decision that had led him to standing there with us. “Rain, I need you to be quiet and save the jokes for when we aren’t in mortal peril.”I gasped, placing a hand over my heart. “You wound me. You want me to be quiet?”“Yes.”“Like, right now?”“Yes.”“Even if—”Jesse turned, leveling me with the kind of look that could probably kill a lesser man.I cleared my throat. “Okay. Message received.”Colby patted my shoulder. “Proud of you for learning.”“Character gro

MattRain had the right mindset. This was fucked up, but we had come too far.After the pictures, we finally stumbled upon the relic. It was a small relic in the shape of a dragon and didn’t look to be very special. The thing looked like it was centuries old… which it was.There was also this strange, jet black stone sitting in the dragon’s mouth. I frowned.From my vague memory, that was a dragon stone, but I had no idea of it’s power. It was something one of the Rosewater Coven elders had said would be no the relic.The five of us didn’t move. It felt like it was a trap of some kind. One of us would rush up and try to grab the relic before the ground would open up and we’d fall to our death.Or something just as horrible. It was hard to say what would happen.Swallowing, I cleared my throat.But no one answers. They seemed frozen to the spot, unable to move. I rolled my eyes.I stared at the stone a bit longer before looking around at everyone.“What the hell do we do now?The groun

ColbyThe second Lia’s fingers brushed the relic, she went rigid.“Uh—” Rain’s voice cut through the thick silence. “What the hell is happening?”I didn’t answer right away. I was too busy watching her.Her chest rose and fell, shallow and slow. Her eyes, wide and unblinking, stared at something none of us could see. The relic pulsed faintly in her grip, the jagged edges cutting into her palm, but she didn’t seem to notice.Rain’s panic escalated. “Colby!”“Calm down.”“Calm down? Are you seeing her? She’s—she’s frozen! Lia!” He reached for her, but I caught his wrist before he could touch her.“Wait.”Rain’s gaze snapped to me, his frustration barely contained. “Wait? For what? For her to stop breathing?!”“She’s breathing.” I kept my voice steady, even though I didn’t love this either. “Look at her—she’s not in pain; she’s not convulsing. This isn’t an attack.”“Then what is it?”I hesitated. “A vision, maybe.”Rain’s mouth opened and then shut. He swallowed, forcing himself to brea

Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 183. A challenge fight
ColbyIt was no surprise that I ended up receiving a letter that officially challenged me to a fight regarding my authority. If I won, then they would be facing punishment for their crimes, but if I lost, then they would be free to commit more.The first thing I needed to do was go talk to my pack about everything so they knew what was going on. They were bound to get upset knowing that I would be facing a rogue pack leader who had ordered the kidnapping of Matt and was just a brutal guy in general. Understandable, but there was nothing I could do about it right now.I had to fight him. It was the best way to end this once and for all. But did I like it? No. I thought we could be a bit more civilized about this, but nope. They didn’t understand any language other than violence so I was going to have ot suck it up and fight.There was no doubt that I was going to win, but it didn’t mean I liked it. I downright hated it.Slowly, I looked towards the pack who were waiting for me to expla
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 182. Rude awakening
ColbyWhen you found yourself in a certain situation, you realized that there was nothing you could do but bite the bullet. This was exactly what I was going to do with Matt’s old pack. I was going to reach out to them.Reaching out with words was the civilized thing to do. We were a partly civilized society right now, so I wanted to try to do things with words rather than class. Eventually, I was going to get to the point where I might have ot fight with claws, but this was the first step.It was important to tell my pack. The first person I decided to tell was none other than Lia. She and I were sitting on the front porch, her having joined me a while ago. I didn’t mind the company and was more than happy to just sit out here and enjoy being outside.But again, I did need to tell her what I was planning. As my omega and mate, she had a right to know what I was thinking. So I cleared my throat and looked over at her, causing her to look at me.“Colby, is there something you want to t

Matt“I think he’s starting to crack,” I said, tossing a ball between my hands. “Colby. He’s pulling away again.”Rain was sprawled on my couch, chewing on the last of a granola bar like it was a steak dinner. “Yeah. He’s been going full ‘grumpy alpha in self-doubt spiral’ lately. It’s like watching a motivational poster give up.”I tossed the ball at his head. He caught it—barely.“We should do something.”Rain sat up, rubbing the spot where it bounced off his forehead. “Like what? Bake him cookies? Knit him a scarf that says Believe in Yourself, Dumbass?”I snorted. “Tempting. But no. I mean something real. Something to show him how far he’s come.”“Okay, so… a slideshow of his greatest hits? Background music by Beyoncé?”“Rain.”“I’m just spitballing, man.”I stood and started pacing. “What if we got everyone together? Lia, Jesse, the others. Had them each talk about what Colby’s done for them. Pack stuff. Personal stuff. Victories. The whole deal.”Rain’s eyes lit up. “Like a livi

JesseColby was busy. All of us were busy dealing with people’s bullshit. Politics was not something I ever thought I would end up going into but the fact of the matter was it had ended up becoming my calling somehow.It was something was good at. I was able to deal with people and make sure they listened to me. One way was my smile. I smiled and it scared the shit out of everyone.What were we to do about Colby, though? I thought I should talk to him but wanted to talk with everyone else first. The first person I wanted to talk to was Lia who might know of something we could do.As his omega, I also felt that she have some say in it because Colby was her mate. He was my pack leader, but he was both to Lia.“I think he’s spiraling again,” I said, leaning against the doorframe of Lia’s room.She looked up from the pile of books on her bed. “Colby?”The amount of worry on her face was pretty staggering. I wanted to reach over and cup her cheek, to tell her that it was going to be okay b

RainThe celebration for Colby was something I thought would be a game changer. I thought he was going to walk in, grin, and everything was going to be fine but after the celebration it became clear that he wasn’t okay.He certainly had a good time. There was no doubt about that. I coyld tell from the way he was laughing, hanging out with all of us, and just having a good ol’ time. But then the celebration ended and Colby ended up vanishing.My eyes found Lia’s, the two of us sharing a worried look.“Where the hell did Colby go?”“Probably to have a sulk somewhere,” Matt said, taking a bite of the cake Simone had made for the celebration.As tempted as I was to grab another slice of cake, I knew we also had to go find Colby and talk with him, or one of us did. He was probably upset and sulking somewhere up on the roof or something.And that was exactly what ended up happening.I found Colby sitting on the roof again. Alone. Hood up, staring at the stars like they owed him something.“
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 178.No promises
LiaHe was feeling anxious. I can’t believe Colby was feeling anxiety because it wasn’t something I ever thought he would have to deal with, but he was. It was obvious from the look on his face and the way he kept breathing super fast.Those were what we called panic attacks. I wanted so badly to help him, to figure out some way to help Colby and make him understand that he could lean on his mates, but the more I tried to help, the more I realized I was in over mt head.Plus, Colby was trying to avoid me helping him. He was proud and had become more proud since he became the pack leader. It was like he was unable to comprehend that he and an entire pack at his disposal to help him with his issue. But no. Colby wanted to take it all on his shoulders.Simone and I were hanging out at her place next door, the two of us trying to figure out how to help Colby. Well, first, I wanted to vent about how I wanted to help my mate.Out of all of them, Colby was the one who was able to keep a good
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 177. Leader
ColbyTrying to rally together out allies is a pain in the ass. It involves me sending a lot of emails to people, trying to figure out who is willing to back us up. But much to my dismay, not everyone is willing to answer right away.This makes me frustrated, making me wonder if I am ever going to be effective as a leader. Being a leader was something I decided to accept after my pack said that I would be the best choice. I thought about it for a while until I decided to agree to be the leader.But being a leader was difficult. No one ever said it was going to be easy, but I certainly never thought it would be this difficult.Groaning, I stepped away from the laptop and decided to go for a walk around ten, but everywhere I turned, it felt like I was being confronted by the fact that I had so much responsibility thrust upon me.Sighing, I ended up doing two laps around the place. It led me to the back porch where I saw Michael. A smile made it’s way onto my face. He was a good man. One
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 176. My old pack
ColbyIt was great to have Matt back, but the fact was, we had to do something about what his former pack did. They couldn’t get away with kidnapping him and torturing him the way they did just to get at us because they felt threatened. A reckoning was going to come for them, and I intended to make sure they were going to answer for their actions.Matt wasn’t going to care. I think he was going to want me to do it. But bringing it up to him when he was still healing was a difficult thing. I didn’t want to add more onto his plate given everything he's been through.But like usual, Matt beat me to it before I could decide to tell him on my own. He looked me straight in the eyes and sighed.“Colby, what the fuck is going on in that head of yours? You have something you want to say to me so why don’t you just get it out of your system before I get pissed off. I can’t take the long looks you're giving me. It’s pissing me off.“I’m going to do it,” I told Matt, voice firm. “I’m going to ral

MattI woke up a few hours later in my bed. It was so great to be back in my bed. I almost wanted to kiss it.Then I realized Jesse was there, and if I was caught kissing the mattress, I would never live it down.“Hey, you’re awake.”I grinned. “Thank you, Jesse. I just want to say that before we say anything else to each other. I appreciate it.”“You don’t have to ever thank us. I know you would do the same thing for us. Any of us.”I grinned. “Of course. How is everyone by the way?”Jesse explained that everyone was resting a lot better now that I was home. Colby had been beside himself and was feeling guilty over the fact that I was gone. Then there was Lia, who was worrying even more than usual.The same applied to Rain, but he was worrying even more.I hated that everyone had been beside themselves, struggling to accept that I was gone. When I explained what happened on the day I was taken, I admitted I shouldn’t have let my guard down. It was entirely my fault.What I should’ve
