All Chapters of Detty Mates: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Serenity’s POV “Don’t you dare leave this house today.” Brady said in a firm tone and it irritates me that he lords over me. He might be the Alpha of our pack, but he is still my brother and the age gap is not wide enough to command his bossy ways. He doesn’t decide what I do. “You mean like this?” I retorted as I stepped forward and held onto the doorway, teasing him. A frustrated sigh left his face and I knew I was getting on his nerves like I always do. I found it exciting to taunt my brother and I got this satisfaction from doing that. But right now, I meant business about stepping out because my friends were waiting in the bullion van parked outside - hoping I’d go to the senior party that was happening by the lake at dusk. It was our last time together before the mating rites that will be happening during the weekend. Being that it was my birthday, I would finally find my destined mate and I wanted one last night with all my friends before we went our separate paths in life.

Serenity’s POV“Get in the car young lady,” Brady said to me as he rough-handled me towards the car, finally letting go of my hand as he opened the door. He had come at the perfect time to save me from Anthony but I wasn’t going to let him know that I was grateful.“I wasn’t doing anything wrong Brady,” I told him as I crossed my arms over my chest. “What are you stalking me?”A rasp of breathing slipped from Brady’s lips. “Protecting you from the wickedness of men. You don’t understand - wolves are usually dangerous just before the mating ceremony. Because the ceremony is drawing near, they may be in heat and promise you all kinds of nonsense in that condition just to get in your pants.”Huffing, I got in the car. “Oh well. He is a Beta’s son. He won’t try any bullshit to ruin his reputation.”“How naive!” Brady shook his head at me before getting into the driver’s seat. “I want you to know this - that most men are not good for you, So choose wisely. Even your mate may not be good fo

Serenity’s POVAnthony was dead. That was what my mother had to say. She had explained that losing a mate brought immense pain and untold torture. But I had felt nothing when she mentioned his death. When I thought of Anthony, I was indifferent about his death. If Anthony was my bond mate, then the goddess did me a favour by making sure I didn’t end up with him.The only thought of loss I had was the fear that I’d never connect with someone on an emotional level. That saddened me because I had always wanted my first mate to be my last. Wolf folklore has it that a second mate is never like the first. It’s like the superlative of good, better, best.Unfortunately, it will be conferred on my brother to provide me with a mate. Since my initial bond mate was gone.My mood was soiled that night. Everyone left me to rest. I found myself in bed the whole next day as I mourned the loss of true love. My mum came to check on me a few times and I would always give her that assuring smile which say

Serenity’s POVToday dragged on longer than usual and I wished it were dusk so that I could make my grand entrance to the mating festivity - getting on my brother’s nerves and his future Luna. In the meantime, I decided to start packing my things to the guest wing of the house.After my encounter with Lottie, I knew better than to stay close to her. The more I saw her with my brother, the more I felt sorry for them. I thought opposites attract, but these two were compatible in the same things. Brady was impulsive and always wanted things done his way. And Lottie was similar in character.For example, when I had those night attacks, not once did he care enough to check up on me. And now, he is stopping me from having fun on my birthday. Rather he is taking that brattish girlfriend of his as his Luna, which is disturbing to me.Moving to the top of my cabinet, I began rearranging some picture frames and my eyes caught one I took in sophomore year with Brady. He had bought me a large-siz

Serenity’s POV“What?!” Brady was as shocked as I was. I had no words other than to watch in awe.Where did Mum get the mind to think such? The thought of being my brother’s mate was weird. But it was even more bizarre to hear such words flow from her mouth.My wolf thought otherwise as she was so calm. Or I wonder if she knew all along that my brother is my mate.“It’s high time we told you.” My mum further confused me. Brady had to ask: “What’s going on?”Father began to wag his finger against the idea. He didn’t want us to know whatever Mum was pushing him to say. But then, my kept on persistent and he surrendered. “You’ll have to tell them, Sweetie. Not me.”Our mother sat with my dad by her side - holding her hands as though to encourage her to speak. She took in a deep breath and summoned courage.“Serenity, I don’t know how to say this but you got to know that the Moon Goddess works in mysterious ways.”My heart began palpitating about what my mother had to say. It got me on e
