Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 34.Teacher
LiaI was unsure of what to do with myself now that I wasn’t in school. In a matter of weeks, I would be starting college soon and I was thrilled. In a few years I would be on my way to becoming a teacher, a profession I always wanted to go into.The guys were on their way to graduating. With their big game this weekend followed by a graduation a week after, they would be moving on to their careers. I know they all hoped they were going to be drafted. It’s all they had talked about for years. A day didn’t go by they didn’t bring it up.Sighing softly, I looked around at the guys who had joined me for a movie. There was a bit of an argument over who would sit with me, but we worked it out. I made it clear no possessive crap around me or that there was going to be problems.Rain asked me point blank if I would be coming to the game. I gave him a look, causing him to blink.“What, why are you looking at me like that? I just want to know if you're coming.”“Rain, of course, I’m going. Thi

LiaI woke up with a pounding headache. The liquor I drank last night had gone right through me, making me act more carefree than I usually did. Normally, I was a more reserved person but last night… I feel like I made a fool of myself.But I had a great time with my pack. I blushed thinking about dancing with the guys, my body pressed against theirs. Parts of their body had started to respond… and I was almost disappointed that nothing came of it.Groaning, I buried my bright red face in the soft pillow below me. How was I going to get through this?I was convinced that the next morning I was going to be embarrassed when I saw them but when I headed downstairs, no one said a thing to me.“Hey guys,” I greeted, blinking when they all turned to me, looking rose for wear. “Are you all okay?”“Depends on what you mean by okay,” Jesse stated, voice flat.“Jesse, even you drank too much?” I asked, gasping softly. “I expected it from say Rain and Colby but not you.”He smirked. “Blame it on

LiaI was getting closer and closer to starting college soon. It was going to be such a change and I was nervous. What were Simone and I going to do when we headed onto campus that first day? It was beyond anything we had ever attended before.Imagine going from our medium-sized high school to a large local college campus. But I was looking forward to this next step.Whenever I brought it up around the guys, I did notice they tensed a little. It was as if they didn’t want to see me go to college or were nervous about me being on the campus surrounded by all those alphas and betas.There were omegas too, but why would they be worried about omegas?I wasn’t going to have it if they started in with their jealousy again. One part of me said at least they weren’t getting jealous of one another, but I didn’t want to see any of it! It was stressful enough starting college and I didn’t need added stress.But, life is full of stressors. No matter how much you try to avoid stress, something wil

RainI can’t believe I’m graduating today.How can that even be possible? It doesn’t seem possible. Something is wrong with me because I’m not as excited as I thought I would be. I’m more nervous, wondering what the hell I’m going to do with my life.None of us had gotten any responses from the scouts. I knew something like this could take time, but it didn’t help my anxiety.What if I didn’t get on any team? Rugby was all I knew. Matt liked to keep pointing out that we had our backup plans but I wanted to respond that I didn’t want my backup plan. I wanted my first choice!It was immature of me to think this so I didn’t say anything.I should be focused on graduation, on this next phase of my life. Look at Lia who had graduated and was thrilled with starting college soon.Speaking of college, the thought of her being there with all those alphas was enough to make me growl with frustration. I didn’t want to think of her on campus with older alphas but what was I going to do? Prevent h

LiaIt was my first day of college and the guys were hovering. I looked over at Colby who leaned against the doorframe, frowning deeply.Try as I might, I couldn’t ignore him. He was persistent, standing there and gazing at me with this worried expression on his face. Then the other guys showed up, all of them looking at me.“Are you okay?”“Why wouldn’t I be?” I shot back, stuffing my water bottle into the side pocket of my bag.He sighed softly, obviously exasperated by my comment, but I didn’t care. I was frustrated with this line of questioning. Why did they even have to question me about this anyway?It was my first day of college. I wanted to enjoy it, to experience my first day on campus without worrying about my future mates being so overprotective and super involved in my life. They should calm down and let me live my life.This is what they got to do!“Because it’s your first day,” he said. “At college. Without us.”“I went to high school without you.”Colby frowned. “But As

LiaAdjusting to college was something that took a little time. But, I was determined to enjoy my newfound freedom on the college campus.Today was no different. Simone picked me up and together we drove to school. We were in the same major so the two of us were constantly together. I don’t know what motivated Simone to become a teacher, but sometimes I feared she was going along with it simply because I was.It would break my heart to know she wasn’t as taken with it as I was. But I didn’t ask, not wanting to rock the boat.Simone and I didn’t have the last class on our schedule together so we split up. I stopped by the library before heading to the car. Alex happened to bump into me as I was leaving, wanting to give me the book I let him borrow.It was a completely innocent thing, but I knew they were going to read more into it. I could hear it in their voices and actual words!When I glanced over Alex’s shoulder, I saw the expression on Colby’s face. Even Rain looked annoyed, much

LiaAfter that awkward pick-up from college, the guys had been on their best behavior. I was pleased to see that they weren’t falling into bad behavior again. It would’ve been a shame, knowing that we had come so far.But then things got complicated again. I was in the process of going off my suppressants and getting a new one. With the old ones still in my system, I was going to be all right for the time being but I needed the new ones.It was all I could think about as I got closer and closer to the time I might start showing symptoms of my heat. What if I broke into heat at school? It wasn’t unheard of and still happens, but it is a rarity in our modern society.Most times people were on suspensions successfully for years until they decided to go off them and not the day before then.However, my medication had been discontinued, leading me to find a new one. I had waited, desperate to get the new medication they subscribed me but then it was late.The first day it was late I was fi

JesseI could sense a fight coming on. The guys were all rigid in their seats, trying to pretend that the sound of Lia lying there, squirming in her seat wasn’t getting to us. For myself, I was throbbing, trying to ignore the blood rushing to my groin.Something had to be done and if I was going to be the first person to say it, then so be it. Someone had too.“We need to figure out what we are going to do,” I muttered, voice gruff.The rain cleared his throat. “I assumed we were all going to… you know… help her through her heat.”“Yes, but who will go first?” Matt muttered.“I mean, there’s no reason we have to go one at a time…” Colby said, causing me to sigh.I rolled my eyes. “Do you realize how complicated you are all making this be? We’ll take turns helping us through her heat. Right now she is going through the thick of it so she is going to need more than one of us—if not all of us.”“I think you guys are all handsome, but I don’t swing that way.”Everyone turned to Rain, glar

ColbyI typed up the email, allowing Lia to sit in the seat so she could look it over for me. I was chewing nervously on my lower lip, mindful that my fangs didn’t pierce the soft skin.Dear Werewolf Association,I am writing to formally notify you that I have been named the leader of the Moonveil Pack, effective immediately. After careful consideration and with the unanimous support of my pack members, I have accepted the responsibility to lead and protect our community to the best of my ability. The decision was not made lightly, and I have taken the time to ensure that this leadership change reflects the needs and values of our pack.As such, I am submitting my application for official recognition as the pack leader by the association's established guidelines. Attached are the required documents, including written verification from all pack members, a detailed summary of my leadership qualifications, and a statement outlining our pack's commitment to upholding the values and respon
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 59. Leader
ColbyThere was even more reason for us to find a leader now that one of our own was missing.It was still hard to believe they had taken Gabi. I thought about her the first thing when I woke up and before I went to bed.I was going to bring it up when we all gathered around to eat breakfast. Michael refused to come out of his room so it was just the five of us."We need to talk about the leader thing," Lia said, arms crossed.I don’t like the sound of that. When someone says they want to talk it’s a bad idea. Plus, we were talking about who was going to be the pack leader. This means Lia thinks we’ve come to a consensus.How have we come to a consensus when I haven’t even decided who should be the leader of the pack yet? Michael would be a good option.He’s excellent and I know he’s been going through it lately but he’s still perfect for the role.Rain shrugged. "Yeah? What's there to talk about? It's Colby. Or we could flip a coin if you want it fair."My head snapped up. "Wait, wha
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 58. Brother’s mate
LiaMy phone buzzed on the table, the number unfamiliar. For a moment, I hesitated. I didn’t recognize it, but something told me I needed to answer.“Hello?” I said, trying to sound more confident than I felt.“Lia?” The voice on the other end was sharp and steady, with an edge of authority that made me sit up straighter. “This is Veronica Ruiz. The woman from the bookstore reached out to me about your... inquiry.”“Oh!” My heart thudded in my chest. “Yes, thank you for calling. I—”“Let’s skip the pleasantries,” she interrupted. “You want to learn magic, don’t you?”“Yes,” I said quickly.“Then let me be clear. This won’t be easy. Magic isn’t a game or a hobby. It’s a discipline, a way of life, and it demands everything from you. Most people start when they’re children, not... adults.”I winced. “I know I’m older, but I’ll work hard. I’ll do whatever it takes.”“Words are easy. Actions aren’t. I don’t coddle my students, Lia, and I have no patience for laziness or excuses. If you wan
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 57. Innocent pregnant woman
LiaI wasn’t prepared when I got this text from Michael. It made all my worries hit me at once.Had I been right all along? Were my previous worries I thought, actually coming to fruition?Michael had a right to know I feared his mate had been kidnapped. It was something I should’ve told him a long time ago, but I wanted to think the Rosewater Coven wouldn’t go to those levels.To think… they might go so far as to kidnap an innocent pregnant woman just to fulfill some stupid blood oath they refused to let go of! It was something I’d never been able to wrap my mind around.Hey, have you seen Gabi? She never came home after her appointment earlier today, and I’m starting to get worried. She said she was coming straight back, but it’s been hours. I thought maybe she stopped by your place or texted you instead, just to hang out for a bit or something. Have you heard from her at all? — MNo, I haven’t seen her or heard from her today. That’s weird. Did she mention anything about having pla
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 56. My desire
LiaI always liked to check in with my brother and Zimone. They didn’t live at the house with us so it was the best way to communicate with them.With everything that was going on, I especially wanted to make sure everyone was safe and alive.Hey, Michael. Just checking in—I’ve been thinking about you and Gabi a lot lately. How are you both holding up? How’s she been feeling these days? I know things can get overwhelming, so I just wanted to see if there’s anything you need or if I can help in any way. -LHey, Lia. Thanks for reaching out and thinking of us—it means a lot. Honestly, we’re doing fine. Gabi’s been feeling a little more tired than usual, but the doctor reassured us everything is going just the way it should. You don’t have to worry so much, I promise. We’ve got it under control over here. -MOf course, I worry! That’s what sisters do, right? Especially with such an exciting, life-changing event like this. I just want to make sure you’re both okay. I know you’re handling
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 55. Magical community
LiaEven with the protection wards, I was desperate. There was only so much I could think to do and one option was reaching out to the magical community. I wrote up an email to every one of their associations I could think of, but all I heard were typical generic responses.It probably wasn’t even a person saying this but one of these automatic response that got sent out! I was angry, wishing they would help me with something. How could they not help a fellow species?The guys noticed one morning I was a little down. Rain nudged me and I smiled faintly at him.“You okay, Lia?”I shook my head. "I’ve been trying to get the magical community to help, but no one is responding. I sent messages to everyone I knew, and nothing. It’s like they’ve all turned their backs on us.""Have you tried reaching out to everyone you can think of? Maybe it's just a matter of timing or people being too busy.""No, I’ve done everything I can. No one’s even bothering to acknowledge me. It’s like I don’t exi

LiaThe silence from the Rosewater Clan is starting to get to me. I don’t know what the hell I am going to do about this. Because something is going on, even though the guys are trying to tell me it doesn’t mean anything.Gabi being pregnant gives them a huge opportunity. It enables them to possibly take her baby, finding a way to solve the blood oath. But I can’t imagine them taking my niece or nephew. Michael would fight tooth and nail, never allowing them to take his child.All of us would do the same.What if… they take Gabi? If they took Gabi then they could hold her hostage until she gives birth? I wouldn’t even be shocked if they didn’t kill her afterward because they wouldn’t have any need for her.Quickly I grab my phone, wanting to talk with Simone and see if she can offer me her perspective.I’ve been thinking… the Rosewater Coven hasn’t done anything to us in a while, but what if they’re just waiting for the right moment? What if they’re planning to take Gabi’s baby? I can
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 53. The Rosewater Coven
LiaThey say no news is good news, but I refuse to believe this is the case. No news is bad because it means the other side is planning something.Some may call me, Lia Brown, paranoid, but I had everyright ot be paranoid.The Rosewater Coven spend decades trying to track down my family so they could fulfill some stupid blood oath. It made no sense why they would go to those levels. What they should’ve done just left it alone and then we could all get on with our life.Yet, they wouldn’t.One of the few silver linings to this was that I was learning magic. While I was still waiting ot hear back from that woman, I was doing quite a bit of learning on my own. It seemed I was a fast learner because I had been able to cast a few spells up to this point.But regardless of how much magic I was learning, it still didn’t change the fact that I was a novice. I could only do so much.“We haven’t heard from the Rosewater Coven in weeks,” I said, breaking the tense silence in the room.“They’re r
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 52. Good night
RainAdjusting to being a vampire was easier than I thought it would be. Since I was half werewolf, I didn’t have to deal with all the trouble vampires experienced, but I still had bloodlust. Everyone had been asking me about it, wanting to know how I was fairing.Lia was no different. She sent me one of her usual texts, wanting to know how I was doing. It did make my heart flutter. The two of us had come so far since first finding out we were mates. I’d be forever grateful that we had managed to overcome the odds.Hey, how’s the whole bloodlust thing going? Are you holding up okay?– LEh, it’s manageable. Cravings are still a thing, though. Like right now, I could really use a snack.– ROh? What are you craving?– LBlood. What else would it be?– RWell, I mean… you can always bite me.– LHaha, funny. Good one, Lia.– RI’m not joking.– LWait, what? Are you serious?– RYeah. When we’re both home, you can drink some of my blood.– L… Is this a trap? This feels like a trap.– R
