Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 151.Bigger chamber
LiaThe tunnel seemed to go on forever and ever, but eventually we were able to reach this inner chamber that led to a bigger chamber. When we stepped into the room, I saw this large, slumbering dragon in the middle of the open-air chamber.It was more than a little terrifying. The sheer size of it was enough to make my heart race. Everyone stepped back, not wanting to make any noise in case we ended up waking it up. What if we woke it up and it just woke up right away?Swallowing, I glanced at Xaveria, who shrugged, pointing to me. She meant that this was my decision and job to wake up the dragon. I lifted my hands, about to light up the room with power, but before I could, the creature’s eyes snapped open.All of us froze. I wasn’t sure what to do. We looked at each other, and then I looked back at the dragon, fearful that something was going to happen.“You,” the dragon said simply.“Yes, me.”I stood tall, staring at it and daring it to throw itself at me.“It’s still trying to wa

ColbyThis was so fucking bad.But Lia had a plan.I could see it when she and Matt nodded at each other. He said to us that we had to try to protect Lia. The second he said that to us then I knew what we were going to do. We were going to take care of everything and do our best to protect her.“This is so bad,” Rain whimpered.Jesse shrugged. “We always knew it was going to be bad, Rain, so calm down and keep fighting.”“Keep calm and carry on,” I joked, earning a glare from Matt.This caused me to laugh.“Why are you making jokes at a time like this?” Matt asked, rolling his eyes.I grinned despite the chaos around us. “Because if I don’t laugh, I might start screaming.”Rain groaned. “Honestly? Same.”Lia stood in the center of it all, gripping the stone, her body thrumming with power. She wasn’t afraid. She wasn’t hesitating. She had a plan, and we had to trust her.The dragon roared, shaking the ground beneath us. The shadows swarmed closer, writhing with dark intent.Matt snappe

MattI was a bit shocked to see the dragon lower its head and not even fight anymore. It sighed.“It seems you have turned my people against me.”Lia exhaled slowly, her gaze steady. “No, what I did was try to stop you from killing them by reaching out to them specifically. I was hopeful that they would listen to reason if they knew the truth, and the fact is that they do understand it. You should allow them to choose their path. Isn’t that the point of free will?”The dragon’s golden eyes darkened with something unreadable. “Free will,” it murmured. “A gift and a curse.”Lia frowned. “Why do you say that?”“Because with free will comes division. Choices lead to conflict, to betrayal, to suffering.” The dragon’s voice was low, rough with age and wisdom. “When my kind ruled, there was order. No uncertainty. No weakness.”Lia shook her head. “That wasn’t an order—it was oppression.”A deep rumble came from the creature’s throat, something like a bitter chuckle. “Perhaps. But it was also

RainThe walk back to the car was a bit exhausting, but I kept trying to break the ice by inserting some of my jokes.I stretched my arms over my head, letting out a dramatic sigh. “Well, that’s it. Show’s over. No more epic quests, no more near-death experiences. Guess we all just settle down and start knitting now.”Colby gave me a look. “Knitting?”“Yeah. Isn’t that what people do when they retire from adventuring? Start a knitting circle? Maybe pick up gardening?”Lia snorted. “I’d pay money to see you knit.”I grinned. “You’re in luck, omega. I’ve already started on a scarf. It’s a disaster.”Matt pinched the bridge of his nose. “We’re not retiring.”Jesse, arms crossed, muttered, “Couldn’t if we wanted to.”I ignored them, throwing an arm over Colby’s shoulder. “Alright, fine. No knitting. But what about a nice, quiet life? White picket fence, a couple of dogs…” I smirked at Lia. “A dozen pups running around?”She turned red instantly. “Rain.”Colby chuckled. “You’re gonna get y

LiaFinally, we were able to get home. I was so thrilled to be home. Everyone greeted us and later that night, I didn’t sleep. Instead I lay down on my bed and sigh. Simone is on the phone, even if she is just next door.“The Elder Dragon is gone. No crisis, no disaster waiting to happen… it feels weird.”Simone snorted. “Yeah, I’m sure it does seem weird given what has happened to you. I mean, I’m almost shocked at how quiet things are!”“I don’t know how to exist without chaos.”Simone hummed. “Well, you could always fuck your mates.”I nearly dropped my phone. “Simone!”“What? Too soon?”A groan escapes me, causing me to roll my eyes. “I hate you.”Simone laughs. “Come on, you and I both know you don’t hate me.”“Fine, I love you.”She laughed again. “So what is next?”“That’s the problem. I have no clue.”“Sleep? Eat? Take a bath?”“I’m not a stray animal.”“Debatable.”I rolled my eyes. “I need something to focus on.”“Your mates?”I groaned again. “You’re hopeless.”“And you’re

LiaI should’ve known that even though I was home, things weren’t going to be simple. The elder dragon might’ve been stopped, but we also had a huge problem; dragon shifters were now waking up and feeling very confused over the fact that they were now experiencing this modern world.All the supernatural associations out there were working side by side with some of the dragon shifters that had already woken up to help their fellow dragons integrate into this modern society. The dragons were more than willing to help their fellow shifters, wanting to do whatever they could to help them adjust to this new world.The reason the supernatural associations out there had changed their tune was because I had made a public statement on the internet, calling for people to help their fellow supernatural creatures. It put pressure on them and the spotlight on me, something I never wanted to do.But as my brother Michael said, someone had to do it. If I didn’t do it then who was going to take the p
Last Updated : 2025-04-04Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 157.This is chaos
LiaThe previous council meeting went all right but the next one that Rain insisted on paying attention to was more than annoying.In our city, there were a group of dragons that were staying here. A lot of them were all right, being able to try to adjust to our modern world, but some of them were resisting. They didn’t want to conform. Why didn’t they want to conform? I have no fucking idea.Well, I had a bit of an idea. They decided that their way of life they used to live was good enough to continue to live. There was no reason why they should have change, even if everything had changed.I mean, did they have cell phones in their time? No. They didn’t have any of these modern conveniences that we had right now and it was going to be difficult for them to try to get used to it. I honestly wouldn’t want to be in their shoes one bit.But it wasn’t just that.Dragons shifters had been alive at a time when they were at their most power. Other species bowed to them, not wanting to go aga

ColbyLife right now was one meeting after another. It wasn’t something any of us wanted to do but what we had to do. It was simply something we needed to accept.As pack leader, I was used to leading so when Lia asked me to come with her to go meet with a dragon ambassador, I was ready. She hadn’t so much as said the words and I was already on my feet, running towards the door.When we got to the city hall building, Lia looked tense. She had narrowed eyes and was glaring at the closed doors.I adjusted my jacket while Lia stood a few feet away, arms crossed, staring off like she could already hear the argument waiting for us on the other side of those doors."You look thrilled," I said.She let out a short, humorless laugh. "Oh yeah. Can’t wait to walk into another room full of people who don’t trust each other and somehow convince them to work together."I wished I had a good sense of humor like Rain. Now I did have a pretty good sense of humor, to an extent, but Rain was the king o

LiaFive months passed quickly. Before I knew it, the twins were already rolling over and crawling around. They even shifted into wolf forms without warning, which were so fuzzy and cute!But being a parent at the same time was exhausting. My mates and I didn’t have a lot of extra time to spend together. A good portion of the time, we were just taking care of our kids.This time, however, things were a little different because we were going on a date night.Simone was planning something, and I wanted to tell her it wasn’t necessary. We were going to just go out and do something simple. All that mattered was as long as the five of us could be together.They hadn’t touched me in months—not since I had the babies. I was aching for their touch and wanted it so bad. It was just difficult to express it after having children. A part of me was almost embarrassed, wondering if they still found me attractive.I flopped onto Simone’s bed, groaning into her pillows. “I have no idea what I’m doing
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 203. Hospital rules
RainI pressed my forehead against the nursery window, staring at the twins sleeping inside their little bassinets. Their tiny hands curled into fists, their soft breaths making their chests rise and fall. They were so small. So perfect. A lump caught in my throat out of nowhere, and to my horror, my eyes started to sting.Rowan and Gemma were finally here! It was about time.I didn’t know if either of them was biologically mine, or we honestly didn’t care to check right now. Eventually, we might, so we could find out for paperwork purposes, but until then, we were going to remain ignorant of their biological parents.Or biological fathers, I should say.Lia was their mother.The babies yawned, pumping their little fists in the air as they slept on and on.God, they were so cute. Too cute.How could something so cute even exist?It wasn’t like I hadn’t seen babies before. I had been around babies a lot, including some of my younger cousins and siblings. But this was different.These w
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 202.A boy and a girl
LiaI was a week overdue.Yes, a week.It didn’t seem real.My mates didn’t want to leave me, but they needed to go to work and do what they had to do. I didn’t want to prevent them from going to work or keeping the household functional.Besides, Simone was home and right next door. She was set to come over within thirty minutes and keep me company, so it wasn’t like I was going to be alone.Shifting on the couch, I glared at my swollen stomach.“Gemma, Rowan—you two need to get the hell out of here.”We were also having a boy and a girl. The five of us went to the doctor and got the results of the scan—we were having a girl and a boy. It felt good to know that we were having one of each.Perhaps one day we will have more of the same gender.But I wasn’t going to think of any more kids right now. The two kids we were having now were the only ones I wanted to think about. They were going to be enough of a handful for the five of us to handle.I rested my head against the back of the co
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 201. Low expectations
MattI sat on the edge of the stupid plastic chair, my head in my hands.How had this happened? We were acting like assholes and worrying for nothing. It seemed truly fitting that nothing ended up being wrong, and who was to blame? Well, all of us.I couldn’t even blame it on Rain for jumping to conclusions because we all were acting like it."False labor," I muttered, feeling like the biggest idiot on the planet. "We nearly broke land-speed records getting here for false labor."Or as they were technically called Braxton-Hicks contractions. When we were going to the classes with Lia, we just assumed that labor was going to be the finale. A few hours later we would be holding the twins in our arms.Except, we had been fooled by these false contractions. Lia seemed to be handling it well. I think I was the one who mostly felt like an idiot. What happened when she gave birth? I needed to make sure I had my wits about me and didn’t allow myself to get overwhelmed or worried.Rain patted
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 200. The twins
Colby A few months has passed since we learned Lia was pregnant and it was crazy how close we were getting to her giving birth. The Werewolf pregnancies didn’t last as long so she was in her six month, ready to give birth any day now. There was a set date the doctor had marked, but they could always come early.Or late.When the doctors said they came late she was very angry. She glared at every one of us.I was halfway through a sandwich when I heard Lia gasp from the couch.Rain shot up like he'd been electrocuted. "What was that?! Was that a contraction?! Was that a baby contraction?!"Lia winced, gripping the edge of the couch. "I don't know! Maybe? It hurts!"Matt practically fell off the armchair. "Define 'hurts'! Like normal hurts? Like stubbing your toe hurts? Or like—' call an ambulance' hurts?!"Rain was already pacing in wild circles. "Oh god. Oh god. We’re not ready. We’re not ready! We don’t have the bags packed, we don’t have a route to the hospital mapped out, we don’t
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 199. Nightmare
JesseLearning Lia was pregnant was amazing but also fucking scary. I never imagined myself as someone who would be a father. After the two of us were together, I knew it was bound to happen, but the fact of the matter is, I never thought I would be a parent.Sighing, I finished gathering the groceries and headed home. It was truly annoying to go about the day-to-day things you needed to live. I had gone for a run last time, realizing that we all had been missing out on this.It was a good run, but when I got home, I realized I had to get back to normal life. AKA getting groceries.Huffing, I pulled into the driveway and then took the bags to the front door. It was a bit of a balancing act, but I was able to do it.I pushed open the door with my shoulder, balancing a couple of grocery bags. "Lia? You home?"Silence.Then I heard it—the soft sounds of... something. Shuffling. Rustling. A thump.Frowning, I kicked my shoes off and followed the noise upstairs. "If you're hiding and plann

RainAfter learning Lia was pregnant, I became even more anxiety-ridden and neurotic. I was always like this, but when I was stressed, it was a hell of a lot worse.Right now, I was determined to make Lia’s life as uncomplicated as possible. I was doing my best and probably overreaching, but there was no stopping me now. Every part of me was determined to help Lia as much as I could.If I ended up acting crazy during this point, then so be it. I was willing to do it.I raced back into the living room, nearly slipping on the hardwood floor. "Lia! Where’s your water bottle? You need to stay hydrated!"She gave me a look over the mountain of pillows she was lounging on. "I drank it already."I froze. "You finished it?! That fast?! Oh my god, you’re dehydrated. You're going to shrivel up. I’ll get more—""Rain!" she snapped, cutting me off. "I’m fine! Sit down for five seconds before I throw this pillow at your face."I blinked, halfway to the kitchen. "But—""Sit. Down."I shuffled over
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 197. Crazy party
LiaMy mates knew I was pregnant now, but I also had to adjust to the fact that I was dealing with a pregnancy.There was a child or likely children in my belly. I kept saying that there were twins. I had no proof yet, but it felt like there was. It was just one of those feelings I had deep down, as strange as that sounded.Yawning, I was lying on the couch, trying to nap after having a difficult morning, throwing up a lot, when Simone burst into the room.I was still processing everything when Simone practically burst into the living room, wild-eyed and vibrating with energy."We have to plan a party!" she shrieked, already pulling out her phone like the planning was happening right now.My head started to hurt. I wondered if I should go for another run. When I was in my wolf form, I didn’t have so many morning sickness. Strange that when I shifted, the morning sickness was mostly there, but I suppose that made sense.Our human forms were technically weaker than our wolf ones. There
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 196. Wolves
LiaIt was time I told my mates. Simone knew but my mates didn’t. Then I would proceed to tell my brother and Gabi. I’d also tell her twins, my niece and nephew, in the best way I could. They were very young so I don’t know how well they would even understand for the most part.But my mates were the most important people to tell.And yet I was nervous.This was a huge change. I also, briefly, wonder if they are going to be upset over trying to figure out who the fuck the biological parents are, but everything is going to be all right.The fact is we are all a pack and family so there is no reason for me to be upset about it. I am still putting it off until this very morning that is.Everyone was gathered in the kitchen table. I was pacing, walking back and forth. Honestly, I felt like I was going to wear a hole out in the kitchen floor from all the pacing I was doing but I was pretty sure I wouldn’t. It was sturdy ground.I wrung my hands together, the words caught in my throat. They
