Jolting awake from my sleep suddenly, I discover I was still laying on the bathroom floor, my eyes hurt from the amount I had cried where the added light from the sun which crept through the window at the top of the room made me wince in pain.

To my surprise, the tile floor was not cold but surprisingly warm, but what also confused and shocked me was the blanket which lay over my body and a pillow holding my head. I knew for certain I hadn’t walked into the bathroom with a blanket and pillow, so there was only one person it could have been, Alban.

Slowly sitting up from the ground, I felt a little dazed and hazy due to the crying, I didn’t know why but I felt betrayed in a sense. I knew what Alban was like so why didn’t I see it coming, but with how he was treating me that whole day and even baked me breakfast, was that all so I let my guard down for him to the advantage of me?

Yes, I also know that I had leaned in to kiss him but that was because the way his presence made me fe

    Once getting ready and meeting Lincoln down in his dining room, we both sit in silence as he drinks his coffee, and I stare down at the food he’d prepared for me. I knew he had so many questions for me surrounding why I didn’t want to stay with Alban and everything in between, but all he did was watch me with a raised eyebrow. “I know you prefer marmalade on your toast, but I don’t have any in the cupboards, so I hope butter can suffice.” He said breaking the long and tense silence, a tiny smile on his lips as he looked at me sat at the table. “Butter is perfect, thank you.” I smiled grateful that he too remembered the things that I liked when I lived here before, my eyes soon falling back to the plate where one and a half pieces of toast sat. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Lincoln sighs after a moment of even more deafening silence, where I could only look up at him a little confused not knowing what he was getting at. “Why didn’t you tell me that Alban is your mate?” He asked wit

  • Mated To My Brother’s Best Friend…The Alpha   Chapter Twenty-Six: Idiotic Training

    Alban sat at his desk in the pack house waiting for Alpha Maxwell to arrive, his hands placed together on the desk whilst his eyes trained to the door. Since learning what this Alpha had attempted to do with his mate, he had been waiting for this moment, he had envisioned all that he was going to say to the grotesque man who wanted to rob Alban of the person who was his by right. What he also couldn’t get out of his mind was Iris and the cries he had heard from her when he left, he was of course an Alpha who never show their feelings and are evil and tough by nature, but she was still his mate. It was his job to protect her and make sure she was happy, but due to his urges and nature, he hurt her in ways he never intended to. He was so overcome with lust and the anger that this Alpha had brought for him, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. This meant the hatred he feels towards this man whom he had never even met, only grew higher. Before those thoughts could marinat

  • Mated To My Brother’s Best Friend…The Alpha   Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Proposition

    Once I slowly ate my toast, Lincoln showed me around his most beautiful house, I have to say it was much more modern than Albans. Lincoln’s house’s colour scheme was black and white, all of his cupboards looked to be very slick and clean, even his staircase descended into a spiral shape. As for Albans house, his seemed a lot more dated in style, golds and whites littered his home and reminded me of a royal type of getaway. Both were absolutely beautiful homes I thought only famous people lived in! When Lincoln heard that I hadn’t been anywhere apart from in our parent's house or Albans, he declared that I would need to be given an updated tour of the pack, and I was out his front door in a matter of seconds. I had to admit that getting to spend this one-on-one time with Lincoln was definitely, what I needed. Since arriving back home, it seems as though all I’ve done is sit around and watch as others got on with their lives or sit in a hospital bed injured. But now to have the chan

  • Mated To My Brother’s Best Friend…The Alpha   Chapter Twenty-Eight: Finally Admit

    The tension which clung to the air was so thick, it was as though there was some looming cloud of darkness over our heads threatening to burst with each second that passed. The intense gaze from each man I stood in front of made me start to sweat, each with their differing opinions as to what they expected me to say and one of those men in particular, waiting to see if it was acceptable for him to pounce if I spoke the wrong word. As my mind raced with the many thoughts surrounding the two packs, one odd realisation came to mind, one I would have never even imagined myself feeling. When I thought of agreeing to leave with Max and waving goodbye to this place and people, I couldn’t help the deep-rooted sadness which spread throughout my body. It was as though some part of me was forever connected to this place and one if I left, would weigh down my heart each day and prevent me from living. I didn’t know if it was due to the recent conversation that Lincoln and I shared before we l

    After watching Max drive away, Lincoln excused himself stating he was putting my box away, but I knew what happened, Alban had ordered him to leave me and him alone to speak, the look Lincoln gave me was anything but I’m just popping out and truly, be careful. With his arm still wrapped around my shoulders, Alban leads me up the stairs of the pack house and towards his office, the last time I was in here, Alban and I were having a very intimate moment. Opening up the door, the sofa is what I spot first which allowed heat to rise to my cheeks and fear to ignite in my chest. “Please take a seat.” Alban instructed me as the door was closed behind us and his arm, finally removed from my shoulders where I could only stand in my place as though I was a statue watching him walk around his desk. “I’d rather stand, the last time I sat down and allowed my guard down with it, something which shouldn’t have happened, happened.” I say placing my hands behind my back whilst forcing my eyes to

  • Mated To My Brother’s Best Friend…The Alpha   Chapter Thirty: Outnumbered

    Lincoln managed to show me around most of the pack grounds before he was called away to the border, some kind of rouge had appeared and due to Alban getting held back in some other meeting, it was up to the Beta to handle it all. This left me to stroll into Lincoln’s house alone, the emptiness of his home mixed with the darkness, I couldn’t help but sigh. Back at The Full Moon Pack, I never felt lonely or bored because I’d always have something to do, there were many times I’d be on my feet getting work done late into the early hours and would be up two hours later to begin my work for the day. I didn’t have much time to allow my thoughts to wonder, which is why I believe after the first few weeks of being away I lost the feeling of home sickness, I didn’t have time to think or feel anything which weren’t the tasks I was given. But now I’ve returned home, it’s as though all I have is time for my mind to wonder, time to question everything that’s happened to me and what will happen

    “What kind of urgent plea?” I asked with a hint of worry in my voice, yes, I was concerned as to what my wolf may know that I may not, but I lived at The Full Moon Pack for five years and built such a strong connection with many people there, I didn’t want any of them getting hurt. “The Alpha Maxwell sent a distress call in; such a call is only utilised in dire situations. In most cases, they request immediate back up from an army, but he has only identified needing you.” The former Alpha informs me from the side, where my mind still littered with the unknowns, what’s happening that only I can help with? “Did he give you any other information?” I asked now turning back to look at Alban, who sat back in his chair watching my face intently, as though he was attempting to catch if my emotions changed as the conversation progressed. “He mentioned their group of hounds, we believe they may have escaped their pens and are now attacking pack members but that is simply speculation.” The

    Alban bounded through the pack with me still sitting on his back, the closer we got to the main section, the louder the screams became and the more my heart sunk. The guard hadn’t given me much information, but to hear the hounds only escaped because they were looking for me, I couldn’t help the guilt that I felt for leaving them. “Stop here, if you shift and hide within the tree-line behind me, I’ll call them over.” I instructed Alban as I recognised the thinning of the trees meant we were close to entering through the town, the screams and shouts but now, the unmissable sounds of biting and growling told me I was in the correct place. Alban does as I ask him and stops, allowing me to lift my leg over and slid down his wolf’s side until my feet landed on the floor. Standing alone for a moment, I couldn’t stop my entire body shaking from worry and anticipation, what if these hounds are angry that I’d left and won’t listen to me or worse, because I’ve been away and at a different p

    Once Alban allowed himself to cry for so many heartbreaking minutes, I headed downstairs to brew him a coffee, hoping I would be able to work out his professional set up and not have boiling coffee fly at my face. In the mists of me studying all of the many dials and hoping one was going to burst into some kind of song indicating it was the one I had to use, someone walking into the kitchen causes me to jump. “I didn’t mean to startle you, I just came to see if I could grab a glass of water before meeting your brother.” Russell who I’d forgotten was here said by the door, where I simply sent him a smile before staring back at the coffee machine. “It’s okay, I was just making Alban a coffee, if I’m able to work out this scientific machine that is.” I reply with a frustrated sigh, I wanted to try and lift Alban’s spirits but if I mess up, I may make him choke. “Allow me to help, back at The Full Moon Pack before training each day, the kitchen staff would allow me in to make a co

    Alban continued to stare at me with confusion in his face but also, a hint of anger as though Russell saving my life while I was away was some sort of betrayal. “What do you mean he saved your life?” He asked in a growl like tone looking down at me, where I simply shook my head going to move away from him, but he stopped me. “I have more important things to discus with you than something that happened in the past that doesn’t really matter anymore-.” I began to try and push it away but when I’m lifted back up on the counter, I knew Alban wasn’t about to let this go. “I will decide what is important enough to discus with me and right now, you explaining how this rouge saved your life and pushed you into some kind of debt with him started?” He asked repeating that unless I told him what I meant with Russell, he wasn’t going to allow either of us to move. “Russell doesn’t see it as though I’m in his debt, he’s actually told me multiple times that he doesn’t want anything back for

    Sparks spreading throughout my face gently pulls me out of my sleeping state, after all that happened yesterday and the late hour that I managed to fall asleep, the last thing I wanted to do was wake up in that moment and attempted to ignore it all. Until long kisses were placed along my jaw and neck snapping my eyes open in a second, Alban lay on my chest with a smile on his face watching me. “Glad of you to join me.” Alban smiled his voice deep from sleep whilst I rolled my eyes at his comment before attempting to fall back into dreamland. “Five more minutes.” I groan sinking my face further into the pillow in hopes of blocking the rest of the noise out, I was still very much exhausted from the party and everything in between. “I would always opt to remain in bed tangled up with you but wasn’t it you who said we had a lot to get done today, with your Luna duties and whatever it is you are planning?” Alban asked with a chuckle at my desire to fall back to sleep, where each and

    Using the rush of adrenaline and anger that I felt for what these assholes did to my mate, I grab the first who attempted to throw an arrow at me and claw at his neck until he landed dead on the floor. With such a swift kill, I saw his friends look at me a little shocked before getting to action, one man ran at me with a sword of his own, which I managed to kick out of his hand and plunge Samuel’s dagger right into his chest, moving it up so it caused the most damage, I kick him back and allow him to bleed out alone. One by one each man attempted to take me down, but were met with my anger filled hits and bites, as I ripped each man apart, grabbing one man by the scruff of hid neck, I smashed his head so hard off a tree, the old wooden tree fell to the floor with his head bedded inside. When my back was turned, one man grabbed me and attempted to slit my throat, but what ease, I break all the fingers in his hand and throw him over my shoulder, using his own weapon to impale him as

    Polly’s huge brown wolf began growling in uncontrollable anger, its midnight black eyes indicating to us that Polly was no longer the person pulling the strings, her wolf had taken full control and was more than willing to rip apart anyone who came close to her. I remained behind Alban, his entire body shielding mine from the danger as my hand gripped his shoulder, Lincoln stood off to the side in his Beta pose preparing for an attack the wolf might unleash on him. Russell had moved off to the side a little assessing the situation and seeing if he could find a way around it while Samual, who had attempted to hurt Polly, lay by a tree unconscious. “What are we going to do?” I whispered gripping onto Alban’s shoulder for dear life, the way Polly’s wolf prowled was evident of how dangerous it was, she truly had nothing to lose and that’s the most dangerous thing. “Whatever happens, that wolf isn’t going to quit until it’s forced to.” Lincoln said walking sideways but ensuring not t

    The already dead and dark wood slipped into even more deafening silence as each person attempted to understand what Alban had just said, I didn’t know if this was him also attempting to pull the wool over Samuel’s eyes as he just watched Russell do, or he was serious, but I was left watching my mate more unsure than anything. “You ain’t gonna fool me Alpha, I wasn’t born yesterday, even though you’re my younger brother and you’re one of the only people I love, I don’t trust you. Polly is your mother also and someone as I have seen, you put over everyone else’s safety to help.” Samual scoffed shaking his head at his brother not seeming to fall for Alban’s tricks, who simply shook his head with a sigh staring at Polly who shook with fear behind him. “That was once the truth, I admit I have witnessed the way in which mother treats the pack members and simply believed that is how a Luna runs her pack. But that was all before I was able to see how my mate does, she feels nothing but lo

    My breath came out sharp and fast as I squeezed so hard onto that tree branch, my legs crossing over one another praying that the branch would hold my weight a little longer. But it wasn’t just me who could be out in the open, Russell lay on the floor right at the base of the tree with the snapped rope behind him, Samual continuing to take steps closer to the tree and him. It wouldn’t take him much to spot Russell sat in a heap by the tree with the rope and connect the dots and spot me dangling on a branch, we of course had the training to stop him but with that blade and the amount of harmful substances around him, we couldn’t risk so much going wrong. That’s also something we were taught in training, of course you do not show any fear when going into battle and trust your instincts and training, but don’t simply walk into each situation looking for a fight. If you are to just face each battle the same way, that would be deadly. No two individuals are the same which would also me

    Following behind Russell who held the map in his hands, we continue deep into the dark but also, eerily silent wood. I didn’t know if it was because I knew who was hiding within the thick trees with his dangerous plot or the time of night butI felt myself draw closer to Alban a little more, worried for not only Polly’s life but also, ours too. Alban realised this and didn’t seem to mind wrapping his arm around me, even though Russell was slowly proving himself as trustful with the help, with what he had done not hours before, it was clear he would much rather Russell had remained in that dungeon and him think of the most awful of punishments he could bestow upon him. “Alright, they’re around a mile ahead.” Russell informed us all but this time, kept his voice down in case Samual was close by waiting for Alban to send some men to stop it. “What’s the plan?” Lincoln asked also keeping his voice down but ensuring his eyes snapped from side to side surrounding us, we didn’t need a s

    Once everything that I’d asked for was lay before me on the table and I was now out of my beautiful but dirty dress from the party and into some fresh clothes, I watch as Russell began to brew the first concoction which was going to help us locate Polly. Richard, who hadn’t woken up since his fight with a table was taken by my parents to the hospital to make sure he didn’t have any injures whilst Lincoln and Alban both waited behind me, both still dressed in their suits from the party which now after everything, seems like days ago. I could feel and see that Alban wasn’t the happiest of Alpha’s in this moment, the guy he had seen fighting me was now stood right beside him working away as though nothing was amiss. “Alright the hyper focus antidote which you are to drink is almost done brewing, now with the information of what you were able to see in that bag is pointing towards a poison called The Death Watcher, it’s given that name as it’s deadly, anyone who drinks that will die i
