Chapter 5: Mate

“I heard Tee saying that students pull pranks on you.” Liara heard her older brother, Colton Haysbert, speaking, on which she rolled her eyes. Her sister really couldn’t keep her mouth close, could she? “I can handle that, you know, right?”

“That is not required, brother,” Liara said and looked up to see her brother’s face. She was below his shoulder. She wondered why she was so short. Hell, even her mother was 5’5, but she ended up at just 5’2. “They are not evil. They are just…. Just jealous of me; how can a girl younger than them be smarter than everyone? They can’t handle the fact that unlike them, I’m not just good in one department but pursuing multiple departments at the same time.”

“Only god knows how you can study that much,” Colton mumbled. “But anyways, I really hope that Moon Goddess will bless you that you wish for.” He said and pinched her cheeks. The fact that Liara was a carbon copy of Sophia Haysbert, their mother, she was Colton’s favorite among all the sisters.

Liara’s eyes twinkled when Colton reminded her about her wish, her only wish. The highest position in the supernatural world was in terms of the doctor being called a HEALER.

Moon Goddess blessed with that power at power to only to THE best student in the medical field.

There were only a couple of healers in the whole world, so that was the demand for healers. Everyone who didn’t want to be a warrior chose their path to become a healer, but most of them just remained as just doctors without any power.

“Do you think that I can achieve my dream?” Liara asked.

“Think? I’m positive that you will achieve what you want. After all, you’re Haysbert who gets whatever they want.” Colton encouraged her. However, he wasn’t a fan of speaking a lot but anything to motivate his little sister.

“Then I should go and study. Also, I’m returning to the college tomorrow, so I have to pack all the books that I purchased.” Liara said and quickly left from there. Colton kept staring at her for a while until she disappeared from his eyesight.

“Send Jarlen to her college as a professor or as a Janitor or canteen staff, whatever you think that he can play a role in her college.” He spoke, sensing Calvin, Liara’s other brother.

“Seriously? I can understand your protective mode, but why are you asking me to send my beta to her college?” Calvin asked in shock and stopped eating the cupcakes that he had been eating before.

“Not just Jarlen, but send his brother Zordan with him too.” Colton ordered before adding, “Before, if I would reach her college, then I swear that no one would stay alive.”

Calvin nodded his head, knowing very well what Colton meant. He had a hard time controlling his anger, so yes!! He understood that he would have to send his beta and his brother to stop his brother from killing poor students.

“I will ask Zordan to get a job at Liara’s college immediately, while Jarlen might take some time because I just can’t release my beta from his duty until I find someone temporary for his position,” Calvin replied and started eating another cupcake in his plate.

Colton raised his hand to grab one among six cupcakes on his plate, on which he pulled his plate away from Colton.

“Get one for yourself. I don’t have my things.”

“Keep saying that. I will wait for that day when you will.” Colton scoffed.

“What happened, Destiny?” Liara asked her wolf, who started pacing in her mind the moment she landed at the airport near her college in Ever Green Pack. It was the only pack that had the facilities for higher studies for werewolves in the whole world. Since most of the werewolves opt to become a warrior so, they drop out just after school rather than pursue their career in something else.

‘I don’t know.’

“You sure? Because you’re giving me a vibe of a surprise test of that chapter that I haven’t studied.” Liara muttered in tension and really hoped that this wouldn’t be true. However, she was kind of always prepared for all the surprise tests in advance.

‘I will let you know if I will figure it out.’ Destiny muttered.

Settling in the Ever Green pack’s jeep, soon she was on the way to her college but was surprised to see a big rock in the middle of the road. 

“This rock wasn’t before.” Evan, one of the warriors of the Ever green pack, spoke to himself. His work was generally to drop off and pick up the students of the pack from the airport. He looked at the other warrior with him, and they both gave a nod to each other before hopping out of the jeep to remove rock from the road. A part of them was positive that this was a trap, but they had already mind-linked the other warriors of the pack.

And that was when Destiny picked up the most heavenly scent that she had ever smelled. It was way better than the smell of the food cooked by Liara’s mother. It was a combination of soil after the first rain and lavender.

‘Mate.’ Destiny growled at that scent.

Destiny quickly wanted to go near her mate and looked around in search of him, and immediately her eyes met his blood-red eyes. But why was he hidden there? Before she could understand that the warriors who were trying to remove the rock, their heads fell on the ground.

“Aaaahhh!!!” She screamed in horror and looked at the person who did this.

A vampire, holding two swords in both his hand. The scent was masked. That was why no one could sense them. That was when she realized that her so-called mate was also into all this. She turned around to find that red eyes, but it wasn’t at his previous place.

She then turned around and found the vampire with the sword in front of her. She couldn’t sense that fragrance from him, so she knew that she wasn’t her mate for sure. All she could see were his eyes because his face was covered with a mask.

“Aaaaaaa!!!” She cried in fear, closing her eyes.

A minute passed.

Nothing happened.

She slowly opened her eyes in fear and found no one around her. She sighed in relief, but her happiness didn’t last long when her eyes landed on…..
