Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 7. Alphas
MattThe dorm room is quiet when I enter. I called my roommate but heard nothing in return. Sighing with relief, I dump my rugby bag onto the floor, glad to have a few moments to myself. The practice was particularly grueling today. Not that it wasn’t something I couldn’t handle, but I haven’t been myself lately.For a few weeks now, I've been experiencing this strange feeling. It’s like I’m anticipating something, but I have no idea what it is. Knowing something was coming but being unsure of what it was was driving me crazy.Sighing, I threw myself onto the bed with a sigh. My shoes were still on as well as my uniform, but I didn’t care. Should my roommate come in suddenly, he would start complaining about how I was leaving all my crap on the floor and stinking up the place.“Go take a shower. You smell.”I would usually just glare at him until he got uncomfortable with me. It wasn’t like I didn’t intend to shower, but I wanted to just lay there for a moment.My phone started to rin

LiaWhen I started to come too I realized there were multiple scents nearby but the scents were calming me down. The logical part of my brain was scared by this because these scents belonged to my brother’s four friends Colby, Rain, Matt, and Jesse. Usually, these scents made me tense up, wondering what torment they would inflict on me next.But it was different now. It helped me feel at ease, making me get closer and closer to consciousness.“Okay, I understand all of you are worried about your future mate but you need to give her some breathing room. Can you imagine how she is going to feel when she realizes there are five pairs of eyes on her?”Five?Slowly, I took in the scene before me. Standing near the door was my brother Michael who looked the most concerned I had ever seen him. Colby and Rain, the two jokesters, also looked concerned. They looked very serious, something I didn’t expect.Then I shifted my gaze to the other two. Matt refused to meet my gaze, a scowl on his face

LiaThe guys walked me to school. None of them could agree on who would drive me so they left their cars at the house, walking me. I could feel people’s eyes on me. How did it look to see four large rugby players trailing behind this tiny omega? It was going to cause a scene no matter what.I was relieved to see the school in the distance.“You guys have to get to school, don’t you?”Matt huffed. “Yeah, and they have medicine waiting for us there guys so we can get through the days, remember?”“Oh yeah, I forgot about that,” Rain lamented.Colby shrugged. “We’ll be back in the afternoon then.”“I—great. I can’t wait.”Throughout all of this, Jesse was his usual stoic and quiet self, But one look in his eyes told me he wasn’t happy with the idea of leaving me. I felt a burning in my cheeks, forcing myself to look away.Once in school, I thought I was safe. Here I could forget about the fact that I had four mates now surrounding me at every moment of the day.But again, I was wrong.Dur

LiaThe next day or so had the guys moving into the extra rooms we had. There were two so Colby and Rain paired up while Jesse and Matt shared the other. I tried to make myself scarce but with it being a Friday, I had no choice but to accept that this was my life now.At least at school, I could pretend.But I focused on the fact that my brother would be there.Or so I thought.“What do you mean you're not going to be here this weekend?!”“I’m visiting my mate. We haven’t seen each other in a while because she has been busy with exams and I’ve been busy with rugby.”“That means I’ll be alone with them.”“Them?” Michael asked with a laugh. “You mean your mates.”I shivered. “Stop saying that. I don’t like to hear those words, you know that.”“Denial is not a good thing, Lia.”“Denial is the only thing getting me through this!”No matter what I said, my brother refused to listen to me. He told me that I was going to be fine and the weekend would be a good bonding experience for me along

MattMy phone started going off way too early. Growling I grabbed it and opened the group chat.Group Chat: "Team Mission Lia"6:03 AMJesse: You, everyone up? We need to talk.Matt: ...Why is this happening before the sun is fully awake?Colby: Because it’s important, Matt. Now get over it and focus.Rain: zzzz…Jesse: Rain, wake up. This isn’t optional.Rain: Half-conscious. Proceed.Matt: This better not be about Lia. It’s too early for emotional trauma.Jesse: It is about Lia. We can’t ignore this anymore.Colby: We’ve been a mess around her, and it’s time we get our act together. No more lurking awkwardly or being avoidant.Rain: Do you mean no more "accidentally" bumping into her to check if she’s still mad?Jesse: EXACTLY. We’ve been idiots. Years of bullying her didn’t help.Matt: Didn’t it help? It made her hate us. Deservedly.Colby: Which is why we need a plan. She’s smart. If we just rush her with apologies, she’ll think we’re trying to manipulate her.Rain: We kind of wer

MattI kept pacing in front of Lia’s room. She had to smell and hear me. The pacing was just going to make her nervous, but if anyone was extremely nervous in this situation then it was me. It felt like my heart was going to leap right out of my chest.“Why are you pacing outside the room?” Rain hissed from down the hall. “Matt just knocks on the door and asks Lia if you can speak with her.”“And if she says no?”“Then tell her everything through the door. Problem solved!”I sighed, deciding it was better to take Rain’s advice than just pacing back and forth, doing nothing but wearing a path on the carpet.So, I took a breath, knocking rapidly at the door.“Hello…?”“Hey, Lia… it’s Matt.”“I know, I can smell you.”I cursed under my breath. God, why was she such an awkward idiot when it came to her now?“Anyway, can I come in?”“…. Yes.”With my nerves on edge, I walked inside and stayed in the doorway. Standing in the room where she spent her time was difficult. Her scent was overpow

RainThe pot I pulled out from the cabinet slipped out of my hands and clattered loudly onto the floor. I let out a nervous shout, trying to grab it before it made any more noise but I ended up dropping it again!Footsteps from above caused me to freeze. Shit, did I wake some of them up? I wasn’t trying to wake anyone up!“Rain, what the hell are you doing?” asked Colby who popped his head into the room.I paled. “Shit, did I wake you up?”“No, I came down to get some coffee so I was already awake. The more important question is why are you down here? You hate getting up early.”“I’m making breakfast in bed for Lia,” I said proudly.Colby paled. “You're going to cook?”“Yes.”“Rain you, the man who has a toaster on fire trying to make toast, is going to make breakfast?”I frowned. “Hey, I’m just making eggs!”“I remember the one time you made eggs when we were on that Rugby retreat. Somehow they turned out to be runny and burnt at the same time. No one could figure out how you did som

ColbyThe smell of burnt food filled the house for at least an hour after Rain’s cooking attempt. I plugged in one of those air fresheners and it seemed to do the job.No one was even shocked to smell the burning or hear Rain swearing from down in the kitchen. All of us, including Michael, were used to him setting random things on fire. I honestly don’t know how the hell he managed to set so many things on fire. It was a skill that no one should have.But then I heard laughter and hushed voices. Lia and Rain were having a suitable time. Matt hadn’t spoken much about his date with Lia but he had a small smile on his face when he came in the other day.I tried to ask him about it. Matt just huffed, going back inside his room. We all thought it would help him open and be more willing to accept that this was our life now. But Matt was even closed off than before!Jesse was his roommate. Let Jesse deal with Matt and try to make some sense to him. Hell, if he had to do it then go ahead. The

Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 60. Passionate kiss
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
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 54. Protection wrads
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
