Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 88. Calm down
LiaI had finally healed and all I could think of was getting hell out of this house."We should go away for the weekend," I had said, leaning forward with excitement. "Get a suite, spend the night together, just the five of us."Rain immediately furrowed his brows. "Why can't we just stay home?"Before I could answer, Jesse smirked and threw an arm over the back of the couch. "Because Lia’s brother is here and doesn’t want to hear his sister’s cries of passion."My face burned instantly. "Jesse!" I hissed, swatting at him, but that only made him chuckle."Calm down," Colby interjected, always the peacemaker, though there was amusement dancing in his eyes.Matt, however, wasn't having it. "Shut up," he muttered, clearly irritated by the whole discussion."You shut up," Jesse shot back. "Just because you don’t want to admit it’s a good idea doesn’t mean—"Matt cut him a glare. "It’s not about that. It’s about you being incapable of having a normal conversation without making it weird."

JesseThe sounds escaping Lia right now were driving me mad. She was on the bed, bouncing on top of Colby’s cock. I was stroking my own slowly, not wanting the moment to be over.Her breasts were bouncing, moans spilling from her lips. Colby held onto her hips tight enough to bruise. I remember the one time I left bruises in the shape of fingerprints on her hips.It was beyond enticing to leave my mark on her. All of us probably felt that way at some point.When Lia did come, she collapsed on top of Colby’s chest. He lifted her off, finishing outside of her. She whimpered, rolling over and spreading her legs.“Jesse, please.”I groaned, surprised I didn’t come at once.Colby climbed off the bed and I sat down where he had once been. I pulled Lia into my lap, allowing her arms to drape over my shoulders. She could do little but cling to me in desperation.It was as if she were nothing more than a rag doll. I knew I wasn’t going to last long with her whimpers of pleasure and the way she

LiaAfter the many attempts on our lives by the Rosewater Coven, we filed another appeal at the Werewolf association. I was shocked to hear from them one morning, but I answered right away.The conversation started normal. They said they had managed to work together with the magical association to reach out to the Rosewater Coven who were willing to give up on the blood oath under one condition.But the condition set me off."The only way they’ll drop the blood oath is if we pack up and leave the state? That’s insane!" I snapped, barely able to keep my voice steady.How could they suggest such a thing? It was insanity!This place was our home. Why should we have to leave because they were refusing to leave the blood oath alone? Their stupid pride was to blame for everything."These are the only terms they’re willing to agree to," the voice on the other end responded, calm and unbothered. "Either you relocate, or the blood oath remains in place."I gritted my teeth. "Do you even hear y

LiaI couldn’t believe that they wanted us out. How could they want us to leave a place that had been our home for so long?The Werewolf association didn’t want any fuss. This was why they wanted to leave, to give in to Rosewater Coven’s demands. By doing this they could wash their hands of it.It filled me with rage and a determination to stay. I didn’t want to leave! Why should I leave when they were the ones stuck in the past?The Rosewater Coven should accept that we bested them. If anyone should leave then they should.But we still had to discuss it as a pack.The Moonveil gathered around the table, the air crackling with tension. Matt cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention to him.“We should leave,” Matt says, jaw tight.“No,” I say immediately, crossing my arms. “I don’t want to go.”“Same,” Rain mutters.“Yeah,” Jesse adds. “I don’t want to leave either.”Matt lets out a sharp breath. “Oh, now you don’t? Five minutes ago, you were on the fence.”“I was thinking,” Jes

JesseIt took about three days for me to start to form a plan in my mind. I was going to find a scryer who could track the Rosewater Coven.Magic was not something I was accustomed to, but I paid attention with Lia spoke. She loved to talk about magic and what she was learning. As long as she was happy I was happy.But I also thought it could be useful.When I discovered Scrying, I realized we had a way to track down the coven. I had started planning this before Lia’s attack but once she was attacked, I decided this was what I was going to do.I took a piece of her clothing, and stuffed it in my pocket. With this, we could pay a witch to scry for us and find the location.Then launch a surprise attack.My focus would be the leader of the coven. If you took out the one overseeing the whole thing then everyone was going to be scrambling amongst themselves, trying to figure out how to keep the coven going.I knew it was the best way to stop them in their tracks.Matt was the one who I tr

MattI looked around, feeling more than a little uneasy with this cottage we had driven up to in the middle of nowhere.“Jesse, are you sure this isn’t a trap? It feels like a fucking trap.”He looked around, taking in the scenery.It was a lovely place. Flowers everywhere and a well-manicured lawn. The cottage itself was small and cozy with a little garden directly out front.The scryer Jesse had been talking with lived in this cottage. After emailing back and forth for a while, she sent him the address where she was located. He asked me if I wanted to go with him and I jumped at the chance, not wanting him to go alone.Jesse trusted me with the secret so I was going to do my best to honor it by going with him.“Well if it’s a trap at least we can say that we tried.”I shot him a look. “Jesse, I don’t want to say I tried. I want to you know… live!”“You sound like you're quoting a movie.”My eyes rolled so hard I swear they were going to roll into the back of my head. “Jesse, are you

ColbyWhile I was angry after learning what Jesse and Matt did, I was also happy because it meant that we were one step closer to putting this coven behind us. They explained to us everything that they learned from the scryer.The hills were a lovely area where people liked to hike, have picnics, and just relax. To think the coven had been hiding there the entire time pissed me off.It was a huge area that was going to require all of our package power. I thought about how we could do this quietly, and one thought I had was the use of a drone.“A drone?” Lia asked in disbelief. “You want to use a drone?”I nodded. “And I was thinking you could use one of your spells to mask it in some way. It’s a way to combine technology and magic!”Lia looked like she wasn’t sure about what I was suggesting. I know it was a little unorthodox but I felt this was the best option for us.“I guess we could make it work.”It would help us pinpoint the exact location. Then from there, we could attack them,

LiaSwitching back to focusing on the mating ceremony was a bit of a change, but I was relieved to do something on the normal side.Right now, Simone and I were sitting in my room. It was up to us to plan it. At least we were going to do the majority of the planning. I was ready, wanting to move forward with my mates.I twirled a loose thread from my sleeve between my fingers, barely able to contain my excitement as I turned to Simone. "So, I was thinking—end of the month. That’s when we should do it."Simone arched an eyebrow, a slow smirk creeping across her face. "Oh, we’re finally picking a date. I thought you were going to keep dancing around this forever."I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t stop smiling. "I wasn’t dancing around it. I was just... waiting for the right moment. And now it feels right.""Mmhmm. And it has nothing to do with you just being super excited?" She nudged me with her elbow, her teasing tone unmistakable."Okay, maybe a little." I laughed, shaking my head. "

Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 194. Mates
JesseOut of all the mates in our group, I was most aware. It wasn’t like I wanted to mock the others, but the fact of the matter was, I was the type of person to be aware of what was going on with everyone.If something was off, I was going to notice it.Now, with Rain, this didn’t count because he wore his heart on his sleeve. He always made it so obvious when something was wrong, and couldn’t hide his emotions even if he tried. If he did try, then he ended up being more obvious than usual!The others depended. Colby and Matt could hide their emotions, but not from me. Lia also depended, while Michael did a pretty good job of hiding it unless it had to do with Gabi and the kids. If it had to do with one of them, then he showed how upset he was because they were his family.Not that we weren’t, but they were his mate as well as children. It was a little different.Today I was out with Lia. The two of us were going for a walk, trying to enjoy some of the fresh air. I did offer the oth

MattThe past few days have been pretty crazy. I have been trying to deal with healing and then working as a coach while also spending time with my mate and pack. Everything was much better than it had been, especially with my former pack behind bars.I couldn’t stand them. Anytime I thought of them, I got upset, but right now, they were the last thing I wanted to talk about. What I wanted to focus on was the fact that Lia and I had made our way to her room, kissing passionately after going out to see a movie together.Honestly, I couldn’t even remember what the movie was. I remember the people being all romantic on screen and acting like idiots. This meant it had to be a romantic comedy. Was it obvious I wasn’t a big fan of romantic comedies? Because I wasn’t. They were stupid and a waste of time b but Lia seemed to like them.My favorite type of movie to see with Lia was a horror movie because then she got scared and cuddled up close to me. Who wouldn’t want to cuddle up with Lia wh

LiaI’m in the backyard, ready to start practicing. I have to always be ready. This is why I try to carve time for myself to practice magic. Everyone around here is always practicing their skills because you never know when something is going to happen.After the crazy time we had, I wanted to be ready for anything. How was I to know when a coven seeking revenge or some dragon shifters who had been sleeping“Okay… let’s not get rusty,” I murmured, staring down at the candle placed in the center of a circle I’d drawn with chalk. “Just a little warm-up. Easy.”“Talking to yourself again?” Rain’s voice floated over from the porch, teasing as ever.I didn’t look up. “It’s called focus. You should try it sometime.”“I’m very focused,” he said, strolling over with that infuriating grin. “I’m focusing on how intensely you’re trying to intimidate a candle.”“It’s not intimidation. It’s discipline.” I took a slow breath, letting the magic rise like a tide inside me. “Now hush.”“Shutting up,”
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 191. The betrayal
LiaNow that I’ve spent all this time with my mates, I wanted to spend time as a whole with everyone in the pack. This was why I let myself into the house my brother now lived in. See I had a key and he had a key to the place I had with my own mates. We were part of a pack so if we didn’t want to let the other in we would say something ahead of time.I found Michael in the kitchen, his head buried in the fridge like he was on a mission. “Hey,” I said, leaning against the doorframe.He grunted in acknowledgment, pulling out a container of leftover pasta and giving it a suspicious sniff. “Who made this? You?”“Gabi,” I said.He immediately popped the lid and started digging in cold with a fork. “Then I trust it.”I made a face. “Cold pasta?”“Don’t judge me. I’m a man of simple pleasures.” He took another bite, then finally looked at me properly. “What’s up?”“I was wondering…” I hesitated, then sighed. Why was this suddenly awkward?Michael raised an eyebrow. “You okay? You look like y

MattI found her on the porch, curled under a blanket like a cozy little woodland creature, mug in hand, book in lap. Honestly? Not fair how good she looked doing absolutely nothing.“Hey,” I said, leaning on the railing and trying to sound casual. Which meant I sounded like I was overthinking breathing.She glanced up, smiling. “Hey. Why do you look like you’re about to give a presentation in front of the school board?”“Because I’m brave,” I muttered. “And because I came to ask if you wanted to go for a walk. In the forest.”Her smile widened. “A walk?”“Yeah. Just us. Trees. Quiet. No one is trying to set the microwave on fire.”She sat up, already pulling off the blanket. “Of course I’ll go. I love when you get all woodsy and mysterious.”“I am always woodsy and mysterious.”“You spilled coffee on your shirt this morning and said, ‘The mug betrayed me.’”“It did.”She stood, and I thought that was that—until we heard it.Crunch.A very loud, very obvious crunch from behind the scr

ColbyEveryone was doing their own thing to bond with Lia. I decided that I was just going to cook dinner for the whole group, and then I would sneak her some dessert. Great for us to have a private dessert. Something chocolatey, maybe. She always smiled more with chocolate.“I’m making dinner tonight,” I announced, tossing my keys into the dish by the door and heading straight for the kitchen.Rain popped his head around the corner, eyes lighting up. “Ooh! Need a sous chef?”I didn’t even hesitate. “Not.”“What?!”Rain gasped like I’d just insulted his entire bloodline. “Banned?! That’s so harsh!”I had to stifle a chuckle even though he was just being his usual self. That was Rain for you. But he would be fine after a while. He just had to get over his little pouting session.Lia appeared behind him, crossing her arms. “Rain, last time you helped, the smoke alarm had to be reset twice.”“That was an accident!” Rain argued. “The stove was faulty!”“No,” Matt said from the couch witho
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 188. Successful date
JesseAfter learning that Rain had a successful date, I decided that it was my turn to take Lia out. I had something in mind. It was a bit of an odd date—the two of us were going to play chess. Or I was going to invite her out to play chess.Chess was an awesome game that I loved. I tried to teach some of my friends the game, but only Michael was interested and now he had kids. Colby just didn’t want to waste time on it, Matt had no patience and Rain was well… Rain.If Rain ever came to me and said that he wanted to learn chess, I think I might die from shock.“I’m taking you out,” I said.She blinked. “Okay… where?”“The park,” I replied, dropping my hands into my pockets.Her head tilted slightly. “Just the park?”I nodded. “Yeah. We’re going to learn how to play chess.”Lia stared at me. “Chess?”“Chess.”“Like… with the little horses and castles and tiny guys in helmets?”“They’re knights and rooks and pawns,” I corrected, lips twitching at the corners. “But yes. That chess.”Ther

RainI had a plan and the plan was to do something romantic with Lia. It didn’t matter if it led to something more, but I wanted the two of us to spend some quality time together. The two of us hadn’t spent any time together with it just being us.None of the guys had been able to spend any quality time with her either because of all the shit going on in our lives.This wasn’t going to happen any longer.I had racked my brain, trying to think of something to do, and then I realized that I was going to surprise Lia with a private picnic in a meadow that was nearby.So I decided to go to her door to talk with her, letting her know that I was taking her out on a date.Well, if she wanted to go out on a date. She was perfectly capable of saying no. and could say no. I didn’t care if she did or not.No, that was a lie. I wanted her to say yes, but if she didn’t want to go, then this was fine too. Lia was her person and could decide what she wanted to do.“I’m taking you out tomorrow,” I sa
Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates 186. Five-star luxury
LiaAfter everything we dealt with regarding Matt’s old pack and Colby fighting them, we needed a break. I was planning something with my pack, or more specifically, my mates. We were just going to have a quiet evening at home and enjoy our time together.Simone was helping me plan. She was a great friend, doing what she could to help me plan this thing.Now the sun was starting to set. We had managed to get the guys out of the house so they wouldn’t bother either of us while we planned. Rain would blurt everything to the entire household if he caught wind of anything.Rain was incapable of keeping a secret. This was why everyone kept secrets from him and also kept him out of the kitchen, but that was a completely different story.But then they did come home, and I was forced to tell everyone what was going on. They started to do some things to help me prepare for the night, wanting to do their part.The sun was just beginning to dip behind the trees, painting the sky in streaks of or
