Brian's POV:
"Matt? Matt! C'mon Matt! Wake up!" I said. Luke was right beside me checking Matt's pulse and breathing.
"It's okay, Brian. He probably just fainted from shock. He'll wake up in a couple of minutes," said Luke.
I looked at Luke and then at Matt lying in my arms. I carried him into the living room and I sat on the couch with his head in my lap. I looked at his sleeping form. His face was beautiful and a small frown was masking his face and making the cutest wrinkles between his eyebrows
I pushed his hair off his forehead, bent down, and kissed his forehead where the wrinkles were.When I looked back at him, his wrinkles were smoothed away and a small smile appeared on his lips. I saw Luke sitting across me on the other couch. He just looked at me for a minute before he spoke.
"Why did you Mark him?" I thought about that and gave him the best answer I could.
"I really can't give you a straight answer Luke," I said," All I know is that when I saw him lying on the couch after...after what happened, I just knew I wanted to be with him. He's special."
I looked at Matt lying in my lap and a small smile crept onto my face.
"Well, then. Are there any consequences of you two mating? I've never heard of a werewolf and a vampire mating before," Luke said.
I thought about that for a little bit and said,"Not that I know of. It's never happened. We'll be the first in history."
"Ok, what about living arrangements? Don't mates usually live together? I can tell you right now, Matt's not gonna like this."
" Yes, mates usually do live together and they're usually in love before the werewolf marks their lover. We have two guys back at the house who were in the same situation that Matt and I are going to be in," I said," As for living arrangements, he will live with me and the other guys."
"No he's not! You can't just take him away from us! We're the only family that he has and he doesn't even know you and your pack except that you beat him up to relieve your aggression. You just can't take him away, Brian!" Luke said heatedly.
"Calm down, Luke. How about he lives with me and he can come stay with you and the guys on the weekend. He can have some clothes here so he doesn't have to pack every time. He will have everything he wants at our house except for his clothes. Once the full moon comes, we will bring him here the day before so he isn't our target. Does that sound okay?"
"I guess it will be okay. The guys will have to understand eventually. It will have to do," We sat in silence until it was broken by a slightly groggy, baritone voice.
"What will have to do?" Matt said.
Matt's POV:
"What will have to do?" I asked, waking up. I saw Luke on the couch opposite from where I was laying. I felt some shift under my head and I realized I was laying on something. I looked up and saw Brian staring at me. I quickly got up off the couch and sat by Luke. When I looked at Brain, I saw a look of disappointment in his brown eyes.
I looked back up at Luke and asked,"What will have to do?"
Luke looked at me, then at Brian, and back at me. "What do you remember before you fainted?" he said.
"Well...I remember I came down and you and Brian where sitting in the kitchen. Brian gave me a present and it was a new phone just like my old one. Then you guys started arguing and then...,"
What else happened? Um...Luke said that I was his and Brian said that I was one of his and...and... I light bulb went off in my head.
"Brian said that he wanted to mate me," I looked at Brian to find that he was staring at me. I quickly looked at Luke hoping he would say that it wasn't true, that it was just a joke, but he was staring at his hands in his lap.
"Is this true, Luke?" I asked.
"Yes," he said very quietly.
"It'll be okay, Matt. You'll be living with me and the othe-," I cut Brian off before he could finish.
"THE HELL I AM NOT! I AM NOT LIVING WITH THE OTHERS AND ESPECIALLY NOT WITH YOU! LUKE WOULD NEVER LET ME GO AND LIVE WITH YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU FUCKING MARKED ME!"
"Matt, I need to talk with you. Come with me into the kitchen." Luke said to me. I was still ranting at Brian, so Luke grab my arm and pulled me into the kitchen. When he let go, I turned around to find him standing by the island. I was so angry at what Brian said to me, but what Luke said next shocked me.
"Matt, you have to go live with him. It's how it's always been with the werewolves and it's not gonna change just because your a vampire. When they mark someone, their mate lives with them and stays by their side until they die, but werewolves don't die. So you will be with Brian forever."
WHAT!?
"You WANT me to go live with him! You don't want me to stay! What about Brad and Jake, uh? Have you told them! HAVE YOU!? DO THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!?" I was so mad and I felt...I don't what I felt.
Tears were pouring down my face and dripping off my chin.
"You think I want you to go!" Luke asked,"Do you think I want you to just pack up and leave us and go live with HIM!? Why would you even think that,Matt!?"
He came up to me and wrapped his arms around my back. I felt something splash on my neck and I realized he was crying.
Luke said through his tears,"Why would I ever want my baby brother to leave me? To leave our family?" We stood hugging each other for what seemed like hours but was just minutes. I drew back from his embrace and looked at him.
"So you never wanted me to leave?"
"Never," he said. "Matt, I need you to sit down and don't interrupt me. You can ask your questions when I'm done."
We both sat down at the island and he began to speak.
"Matt, you've been Marked by Brian. This means that he wants to be your mate and mate you. You can never be un-Marked, so you will be with Brian until one of you is killed or destroyed by werewolf or vampire hunters. When someone is Marked, they stay with their mate forever, and by this I mean they live with them. Brian and I have decided that you will stay with him over the week and you will come and live with us on the weekend. You will also come a day before the full moon and stay with us so you will not be their target when they get aggressive. And also, please give this and Brian a chance. Okay? I've known Brian before I was even a vampire and he's a great guy. You could hate Brian all your life or you could actually fall in love with hi-,"
"Hell would have to freeze over and pigs would have to fly before I EVER FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM! I might have forgiven him for beating me up because he couldn't control himself, but THIS," I said raising my shirt and showing my "mark"," HE COULD HAVE CONTROLLED!"
"It's true, he could have, but he said that when he looked at you, he saw something special and he liked it. That's why he Marked you. I already think he's fallen in love with you. If he hasn't, he's almost there."
"Well, I DON'T love him! I hate him!" I said.
"You still have to live with him though. Why don't you go upstairs and pack up some clothes for this week and when you come Friday night, we can pack up everything else over the weekend." Luke said.
I got up from my chair and walked out of the kitchen. When I got to the living room I saw Brian and when he looked at me, I said,"I hope your glad that you've ruined the rest of my life, you bastard! I will never, EVER love you!"
"Give it a couple of weeks and you might change your mind." Brian said with a smile and looking smug.
I was shocked that he would have the audacity to say that. I wanted to wipe that smile and that smug look off his face but I reconsidered that when he got up off the couch and walked towards the front door. I retracted my fangs, stomped up the stairs and slammed my door so hard that there was a small crack running from the bottom of the door to the middle of it. I grab a gym bag from my closet and threw in whatever I would need to try and survive this week from hell.
Brian's POV:
f0fs24 "...
f1fs28 will fly before I EVER FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM!...THIS HE COULD HAVE CONTROLLED!" I heard Matt shout.
** Hm, I thought I was pretty lovable, but Luke was right, he does not like this at all. But I do. I get to stay with my mate (even if he doesn't love me... For now.) and just be with him. Hopefully, Ari and Saven can talk to him and help him out. In the short time that I've seen Matt, I really like what I see. That blonde hair and those violet eyes. Man, I could stare in those eyes all day and not be bored. There so beautiful! And his body is something else. I don't why his shirt was off but I'm glad it wasn't when I saw him after the full moon. His lightly tanned skin with his small pectoral muscles, his flat stomach with a hint of a six-pack when he inhaled, and his small, pink nipples made him look so beautiful. Like an angel. I had to leave the room and control myself. When I came back, I saw that he was shivering and I grabbed him and held him to my naked chest, which was amazing. When I looked at him, his high cheekbones, his straight nose, the full, pick lips, the blonde eyelashes, I wanted him to be my mate, so I Marked him. And now he hates me. Great! I need to think of a way to make him fall in love with me. Think Brian...think of all those romantic comedies you seen (yes, I like romance comedies. So what!). I should be annoying! That's it! When the guys do annoying things in the movies, the girls hate it but secretly they love when the guy does that. I'll make smart remarks to Matt and do the most annoying things to pissed him off.**
I was interrupted from my thoughts, when Matt stormed into the living room. His cheeks were slightly red because he was mad and his eyes were a dark violet color. He looked so damn cute!
"I hope your glad that you've ruined the rest of my life, you bastard! I will never, EVER love you!" He said.
Here's your chance to be annoying, Brian. Let's hope it works.
I smirked at him and gave him my smuggest look," Give it a couple of weeks and you might change your mind." That did it.
His hands balled into fist and his face became even more red. It looked like his lower lip was indented into two places where it looked like his fangs came out. He stormed upstairs and I heard him slam his door.
** It worked. I think. If it works in the movies it can work in real life. Right?**
Matt's POV:
I came back downstairs with my gym bag and saw Luke and Brian by the front door. I walked up to Luke and hugged him.
"I know your coming back every weekend, but I'm still gonna miss you, Matt," When I heard that, I had to blink to keep the tears from spilling over.
"I'm gonna miss you too. And Jack and Brad. I love you guys so much," Luke hugged me really tight for about a minute and then he let me go. When I looked at him, his eyes were watery and red. He bent forward and kissed my forehead.
"Make sure you call us and tell us how everything is going, ok?"
"I will," I said.
"Are we ready to go, Matt?" I heard Brian ask me. I turned around and glared at him. Stupid prick! I wanna wipe that stupid little grin off his fucking face!
"Of course I am, MATE," I loved how he cringed when I put emphasis on the "mate."
He reached out to grab my bag and I turned away from him.
"I can carry my on bag. If you wanted to be a gentlemen, you could have NOT Marked me!"
He looked shocked but composed himself quickly and opened the door. I walked out and went down the path to where a truck was parked on the street. I overheard Luke saying something about cutting Brian's balls off if he did anything to me.
Why did I ever think he wanted me to go? Here he is threatening Brian if he so much as looks at me wrong. I'm gonna miss him so much. I brushed away a fear tears and I got in the truck and put my bag in the backseat. I quickly put in my iPod and looked out the window. I saw that it was starting to rain (how cliche) and Brian was running to the truck. I looked for Luke and saw him standing at the front door. I saw a tear escape his eye as he raised his hand and waved to me. I raised my hand and failed to keep the tears at bay. I didn't hear Brian talking to me and I didn't care. I felt the truck rumble and we started moving away from Luke.
Away from the only life I ever knew.
