____________________ I wrapped my arms around Nico. There was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. I grabbed a towel off the table and cleaned his face. "N-Not worth...worth it," Nico mumbled "What do you mean?" I asked looking down at him. "I...I am not worth it...worth the trouble...Brian...you..." "Nico! Don't say that you aren't worth every minute," I hugged him. I heard yelling and front door slamming. "Where the fuck are they!? If you hurt him Brian I swear to God-" Jake said. "THEY are in the kitchen. Get them and go," I heard Brian say. My heart ripped, torn by my mates words Yes, mate. I've accepted it. And I'm getting to love him although he can be a prick sometimes I knew I was mean to him and such but to actually hear him give up on me broke my heart. Tears started to form in my eyes, I was in a daze after that, I couldn't pull myself out of it...knowing that he gave up on me...gave up on our love or so it seemed. Before I knew, it I was back in my bedroom at MY house. I was sitting in a small, fluffy chair watching Nico, who was lying in my bed asleep. Jake told me it would only be a few hours until he was walking around. I guess werewolves heal fast, so Nico would have no signs of the fight by the next morning. It was already noon... that night of yelling and screaming...fighting and love loss were over fast but the effects still remained. The phone rang...again. I am sure it was Brian wanting to talk again but he would get the same answer...No. The door slowly opened and Luke popped his head in. "Matt, it's Brian. He says he really needs to talk." "Tell him to fuck off," I said. "Matt watch the language," Luke put the phone to his ear. "I am sorry but Matt is not feeling up to talking right now could I take a message?" Luke said in a monotone voice. "No that's not a good idea." Luke said with anger in his face. "No and that's final Brian. Good day," Luke clicked the phone off. "What did he want?" I asked. "To come over. He said you forgot your phone," "Yeah, cause he took it," I said venom dripping from my words. "What are we talking about?" Nico asked as he propped himself up. "Nico!" I ran over to him and tightly hugged him. "Hey," He wrapped his hand around my back. "Well, I will come back later and bring food ok?" Luke said. "Sure. Thanks Luke," I smiled at him as he left. I let go of Nico only to get in on the other side of the bed. I pushed him down gently so he was laying on his back again. "Easy tiger," He laughed. I curled up laying my head on his chest. "I am so glad your okay," sadness entered my words. "It's all good. I'm a stupid thing to fight over though and you shouldn't have stepped in, it wasn't your place." Nico said. "I couldn't let him beat you for what I did..." "Still, you're his, and even if you did it, it's still my fault for letting it happen." "But we didn't do anything! All we did was fall asleep," I said. "Yes, but we were showing affection," Nico said gently rubbing my back. "Only as friends though. I would never cheat...on... him." The words came out in clumps. My throat started getting tight thinking of Brian. They say you never know what you had until you have lost it. I guess they were right. I love him and I had to be a jerk and lose him. Tears started streaming down my face. Nico looked worried. He pulled me into his chest. "It will be okay Matt...Nothing to cry about," "He hates me," I sobbed harder. "Who?" Nico asked with interest. "Brian," I said crying harder from saying his name. "Oh Matt!" Nico hugged me tighter. "That is the farthest thing from the truth. You're his mate and he will always love you," "No he doesn't," I said sternly. "Yes he does!" Nico said with anger creeping up in his words. I pulled away from his embrace and walked to the door. "Where are you going?" Nico said worried. "You need to rest and I need to think," I closed the door behind me. I slowly crept down the stairs and out to the back yard. Well, I guess you can't call it a back yard. It's more like a forest that goes for a few miles. That was one of the reasons Luke bought this place. Once you're in the back yard, there is a large pool and then a gazebo with a bed in the middle for relaxing and taking naps in the sun. I walked over to the bed and plopped down on it. As soon as I hit the silk comforter, I fell asleep and all my worries and problems just drifted away. ____________________ Crunch Crunch Crunch I slowly opened my eyes and looked next to the bed. There staring right back at me was a huge, deep brown wolf. "Holy SHIT! HELP!" I screamed. I quickly moved over to the other side of the bed and looked at the back door of the house debating if I could make it or not. The wolf jumped up on the bed and stared stared at me deep sadness. It dropped a small black thing out of its mouth. I looked down at what the wolf had dropped and saw that it was my phone! I quickly grabbed it and then scooted farther away. Studying the phone in my hands. Yup, it's mine. "Brian?" I asked. The wolf gave a grin and laid down next to me. "Oh my God! It's you!" I exclaimed and buried my face in his neck. His fur smelled like lemons and tree bark, its intoxicating aroma filled my nose making me bury my head deeper in the chocolate colored fur. Brian gave off something that sounded like a laugh. He turned its big head and looked at me. He then slowly inched forward and licked my face. "EWW!" I laughed. Brian let out his strange laugh again. I giggled. I was so happy to see him. My heart wanted to burst out of my chest. I entwined my fingers in his fur and cuddled next to him. The feeling of warmth and safety washed over me like golden rays of sunlight. ___________________ I woke up realizing that I had fallen asleep again. I looked up and saw Brian smiling down at me. I was laying on his chest. I moved off and looked, shocked that only hours ago he was a wolf, but now he was in a pair of jeans and a white sweater that was unzipped to reveal a light blue shirt. Haha, he looks like a college jock...MY college jock. "About time sleeping beauty," He laughed and pulled me to him. "Sorry. What time is it?" I asked allowing him to pull me into his chest. "Around 8," He said. "Oh. I am surprised no one has come looking for me," "I did." He smiled. I giggled and felt my facing heating up. "How did you get clothes? Don't they get ruined when you transform or whatever?" "I ran back home quickly and changed. I figured it might be kind of awkward if you woke up to me naked or something," He laughed. I giggled along like a little school girl. "I have missed you...I thought you didn't love me anymore," I said kind of withdrawing from his hold. "No baby! I could never stop loving you!" he said pulling me in tighter. "I will ALWAYS love you," "I better get back..." I said. "Will you come home?" he asked looking sadly. "Not yet. I have to wait for Nico," At the sound of his name, Brian went rigid. "I think you owe him an apology by the way," I said. "I don't owe him nothing! He shouldn't even be allowed back," "But your going to let him come back right?" I asked. "I guess...only because you want it. But you have to learn to understand the way a pack works," Brian said. "Thank you," I hugged him. "I would do anything for you," He said running his fingers through my hair. I heard a door open then close. "Nico!" I said when I saw Jake and Nico running to us. Brian was starting to get up. I gently pulled him back down. "Stay," I commended him. "I don't want upset your brother. He already has made it clear he doesn't like me," Brian said. "He can be nice," I smile as Nico and Jake reached the bed. They both looked surprised to see Brian there. "Luke told you to stay away!" Jake said. "I can't stay away from him to long... he draws me like a magnet," Brian said as he rubbed my neck. "Matt get up and say good bye...Now." Jake said. Nico's eyes were full of fear and he didn't say anything. "I will come in later," "Now!" Jake said. Brian pulled away from me and stood up. "Ummm, your brother has a point. I should be going home to. The guys have probably have already torn the house up. I will see you soon baby," He leaned down and kissed me. "Bye," Then he ran off for the tree line. Oh great! here comes the yelling. "What the fuck do you think your doing back with him!? Why was he even here!?" Jake yelled. "He dropped off my phone..." I said quietly not looking Jake in the eyes. "ARRG! God your so stupid Matt! Next time he will be beating you to death! Werewolves don't make good boyfriends!" Jake flipped out. "No he wouldn't... he is nice...most of the time," I said. "He would never think of harming him, Jake," Nico spoke up. Jake pulled me into a hug. "Don't get hurt... and don't forget about me and your family," Jake stuttered tears pouring down his face. "I won't Jakey!" I hugged him back and started crying too. "I love you," "I love you to big bro," He let go of me slowly looking down at me. His eyes were red. "Come on, let's go back in," Jake said. In no time we were cuddled up watching a horror movie. I was in-between Jake and Nico and they both laughed at me when I cringed or jumped. I spent the whole movie basically hiding my head under a blanket. Nico and Jake were really starting to get along and I was happy. Now the next step was to get Brian in the picture... "Okay, I think it's time for bed boys!" Luke said coming up from behind the couch. "Aww!" we all groaned, then laughed. I got up pulling Nico with me. Jake sat on the couch looking at us. Soon he hauled himself up. I walked over to Jake and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed. "Night Jake," "Night," He said stretching with a little grin on his face. "Come on Nico!" I said pulling his hand. We walked up the stairs and to my room. I pulled my shirt off, my pants, and my socks. Nico did the same careful not to look at me. I laughed and he looked up and blushed. I crawled into bed and patted the spot next to me. Nico smiled and climbed in. Buzzzzz Buzzzzz Buzzzzz "Oh my phone!" I reached off the side of the bed and grabbed it.
It was from Brian. <Night Brian, love you> I smiled and turned it off and rolled over on to Nico's chest. "I am not so sure we should be getting this close again," "Stop! We are just friends, plus Brian will leave it alone... he knows better now," I said. "Wow. I have never, ever seen a mate walk all over an Alpha before like you do and get away with it," He said giggling. "I don't walk all over him!" I said shocked that he would think that. "Sorry, I mean you just push him and treat him your peer and not your higher up or Alpha," "So?" I asked. "Most Alphas would back hand you and beat you, but I think Brian really likes you. But still, I have never seen him let anyone talk back to him or tell him no," "Oh..." "Haha," Nico laughed. I cuddled up closer, my eyes getting heavy. "Night..." Nico whispered as I fell off to sleep. ____________________
