All Chapters of Mating The EMT: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

 I stepped into the garden surrounded by the sunlight overhead. Today was my tenth birthday and I was excited. I walked towards the large oak tree in front of the house and climbed into the tire swing. I pushed my feet against the grass to start swinging. I smiled and closed my eyes as the wind rushed past me while I swung.   “Valley?”   I heard Tommy calling for me.   “I’m on the swing!”   I called out to him. He came running over and put his hands out to stop the swing. I opened my eyes and smiled at him.   “HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BROTHER!!”   He shouted happily as my eyes met his. I climbed off the swing and gave him a hug.   “Thanks Tom-Tom”   I said using his nickname. He smiled and grabbed my hand.  

  “So you knew Cornelius?”   Alpha Tiberius asked me after a few moments of silence. I focused my emerald eyes on him and nodded. A shooting pain in my left wrist caused me to look at it. There was a heavy white cast around it. Doc watched as I stared at it. I looked up at Doc to ask him my question.   “Is it broken?”   I asked him.   “Yes, it is. Your wrist was snapped in two places, but you should heal just fine. I would say a few weeks or months since you are a shifter.”   He said with a frown. I nodded as he spoke, but remained quiet. Brayden spoke up next causing me to look at him.   “Little One, Why did you not go home?”   He asked me.    “I just had a bad feeling and then I smelt blood.”  

*Valerian’s P.O.V.*   I woke up the next morning feeling something heavy laying around my stomach. I opened my eyes and they landed on the arm that was strewn across me. I went to lift my head, but knocked it into something sharp. I winced hoping I didn’t hurt the person. I felt the person stir and tilted my head upwards to see who it was. My eyes felt like they would shoot out of my head when I saw Jax laying there. I knew he kept calling me future mate, but I was still startled to see him. The golden rays of the sun shone through the window and onto his sleeping face. I could see the dried tear streaks on his cheeks and frowned. It took me a moment before my sleep hazed brain remembered that Brayden died yesterday. My heart let out a beat filled with a pang of sorrow. I silently slipped out from under Jax’s arm and rolled so I could get off the bed. I quietly slipped into the attached bathroom an

I woke up the next morning and got ready for school I slipped into a white button down shirt with black dress pants. Over the shirt I put on a black vest and then grabbed my brown and white polka dot tie to put on. I left the top buttons of my shirt undone and pushed the tie I under it. I smiled as I looked into the mirror before styling my hair. I picked up my new phone and looked up Kurt Hummel from Glee to make sure my outfit matched his to the best I could. I smiled at my reflection and put my shoes on that matched it. I know most boys my age were into sports and checking out girls, but I found that I was more like Kurt. I liked fashion and making sure my clothes were stylish and matching. I also planned to join our school choir when the auditions came up next month. I could never be Kurt Hummel or the actor that played him, but I could at least look similar. I took one last glance in the mirror before picking up my book bag and heading downstairs. When I got downstairs Mom was

**1 year time skip** *Valerian’s P.O.V.* My fourteenth birthday was only a few days away. I was excited for tomorrow because my choir class had traveled to nationals for the competition. It was being held in a town that I knew very well. I had a lot of the solos since I was the only male and since I could hold a range of notes. My choir class loved me, but I was still bullied. The choir kids were only nice to me when we weren’t around Fang. Ever since the day they beat me up the bullying has gotten worse. I managed to keep it from my family so they wouldn’t worry, but I hated it. I didn’t want to move because Dad had a really great job there and Mom had friends as well as Tommy. I figured I could suffer alone and be just fine. I went and practiced in the ballroom of the hotel we were staying at until it was dinner time. I ate dinner then went to my room. The girls were sharing rooms w
