Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers

TRIGGER WARNING

(Brave’s POV)

”You will lose everything, Brave. Every. Single. Thing,” my mate hurdled curses at me. It was heart wrenching for me to bear those venomous words.

I tried to scream, ’NO ...... NOOOOOOO,” but it was as if, my lips were sealed, tongue was cut or my vocal cords were damaged. No voice came out of my throat.

She laughed hysterically. Although, I wasn’t able to recognize her face until now, her ever sweet voice was undeniably my mate’s. But after watching her behaving. uproarious laughter like a maniac, I wasn’t so sure about who this being really was.

She continued with her barrage of insults towards me, ”And just like how you lost me, you will lose her as well. You won’t be able to keep her.”

Clenching my fists tightly, I barked, ”Who are you talking about?” My mind was muddled with chaos.

My question was answered by the change of scenery. An eye blinding beam of light made me close my eyes. The heavy downpour vanished, replaced by a clear night sky. The sky full of twinkling stars and bright waxing gibbous moon was clearly visible.

I observed the place discreetly. It was yet another familiar place, the mountain where I along with my siblings and Nora’s friend went for camping, Mount Shana. At some distance, all of us were settled making a circle around the bonfire.

I could see all of my siblings faces but Nora’s friend, it wasn’t quite visible. Her back was towards me, obstructing me to see her face.

I couldn’t hear anything. But I still remember, what we were talking about at that time. The black rare opal pendant that Nora somehow acquired and gifted me. The look of anticipation on my siblings faces when I wore it and the disappointment following when nothing happened.

I saw my other self, getting up and scurrying away inside the dense, dark forest. That incident was depressing for me. It gave me hope for a few seconds and then it dimmed and completely extinguished again.

My right hand involuntarily tried to clutch the opal pendant I wore around my neck but what came in my hand was just plain air.

Furrowing my brows in puzzlement, I looked at my neck, the pendant wasn’t there. I don’t remember ever taking it out. Why is~ ... why am I not wearing it? Did I put it somewhere? Where have I kept it? Why can’t I recall? My head ached with countless answered thoughts.

My mate’s voice echoed inside my mind again, ”Do you want to know why, Brave? Let me show you.”

The background changed again. It was as if a three-dimensional movie was playing right in from of my own eyes.

We were back to the lake. The torrential rain had eased a bit but it was still persistent. The earthy smell of rain was heavy in the air, mixing with the scent of blood. It hit me like a bolt of lightning yet again. I could see my sister and her friend staring somewhere. I gazed in the same direction and saw a battered, bloodied figure coming out of the deep area of forest.

The face wasn’t visible but I could tell the person was tall although he was limping. His aura was radiating danger. He looked familiar, a bit too familiar.

I narrowed my eyes when the person’s face came to light. It was none other that me. I was startled by this revelation. ’When did it happen?’ I clutched my head to recall anything, but I couldn’t.

Nora ran towards my other self, supporting me with her frail body. The look of hurt and sorrow was evident on her face. It was heart breaking to see.

Soon, something odd happened. Nora’s friend, whose face was still a blur and name I can’t recall, walked toward my other self. She extended her hand towards me, wanting to touch me. My other self was too wounded to interject, to protest.

But, to my utter surprise, she didn’t reach out to me rather she was aiming for my opal pendant. As soon as her finger tips came in contact with the gemstone hung around my neck, a light flashed from the black opal piece and it shattered into tiny pieces. But what shocked me most was what happened after that. Or rather, what I uttered.

”MATE,” my other self spoke, baffling me. My eyes were about to pop out of its sockets. I was in complete disbelief by what was playing in front of me. ’How the~ ..... just ho~ ... how the fuck can this happen?’ My mind couldn’t process it.

The girl in white dress spat, ’Why did you betray me, Brave? Just why? Didn’t you say, I am your one and only? That you would follow me everywhere, even if it was hell, you will come with me?’

I countered back, ”I didn’t betray you. How can~ ..... how can I do that? I love you more than my life. More than my soul. It is not true. This is not true.”

But her laughter turned angry, ”No you don’t. If you would have loved me wholeheartedly, you would have ended your life when I vanished. You would have~” her words were cut off by a violent, screeching roar.

My other, injured self, who was barely hanging suddenly started shifting into its wolf form. Soon, Raw appeared and went ballistic. He was growled and gnawing his teeth, groveling at Nora’s friend.

I thought, this must be fake. My wolf, my Raw, never behaved like that. He is my other half, he resides within me, so I know him well enough.

The next second Nora and her friend started, whose name I can recall, started running frantically and the wolf who had an uncanny similarity to Raw was chasing after them, or particularly the friend, barbarically. He seemed out for blood.

I shook my head, confidently and said, ”This all is fake, a hoax. Raw would never do something like that. And I have only one mate and her name is~ .....” I paused. ”Her name is~ ......”

’What is my mate’s name?’ I fell into a deep thought. ’Why is my head all muddled up? What the fucking hell is going on with me?’

A bitter, sarcasm filled chuckle escape her mouth, ”Her name is~ ....? What is you mate’s name Brave? You can even remember it now? You truly are a fool.”

I spat back, ”I know who my mate is ..... her name, her scent, her mark, our bond. I know everything.”

My answer was followed by her shrill laughter and in the background, Raw’s lookalike was still hunting Nora’s friend down.

I called out to my buddy, my Raw, ’Raw, answer me. Tell me, what is going on? Who is our mate?’

I heard a deep exhausting sigh, followed by a name I was stunned to hear, ’Our mate .... Our mate is none other that Nora’s human friend. Her name is Myra, Myra Miracle.’

I shook my head violently, in denial, ”This can’t be. No, no, ....... NOOOOOO. Nora’s friend, Myra? My mate. How could she be my~ ...... our ma~te? Don’t lie to me, Raw.”

”See, even your wolf is aware of your betrayal. You have breached my trust, Brave. I will never forgive you,” the girl cussed at me.

”I HAVEN’T BETRAYED MY MATE. I have always been fateful,” I yelled. I have always been loyal to my mate. Though, I couldn’t remember most of the things but my heart knows, my soul knows, how my I adore, I love my mate. No one can insult my love for my soulmate, no one.

She barked, ”Then, prove it. Prove, that you still love me like you claim. Give me the damn proof of you fucking loyalty.”

”Okay, I will prove it. Tell me what I have to do to prove my love to you,” I uttered with confidence.

She smiled wickedly, ”Join me.”

I made a perplexed face as I didn’t understand her implication.

”Join me, Brave. End your life and vanish, just like my body had, my soul had. Prove to me that you are not a monster,” she muttered with a cold expression.

Listen to her chilling words, I gulped down hard. She continued, ”What? Are you scared? Where have your so-called love vanished?”

”No, I will prove it. I will do as you say,” I resolved. If this is what it will take to prove my feelings to her then I will do just that.

”Very well,” saying this, she threw a dagger towards me. ”Do it.”

I picked the silver dagger from the filthy, mudded ground and held it firmly in my hand. She said, ”Stab your heart with it. And then we will be together forever. Just like you have always wanted.”

’Yes, I can finally be with my mate,’ I settled myself and held it against my chest.

The chaotic scene in the background made me turn my head. A black furred wolf, pounced on the wolf who was running after that human girl. I recognize who it is. It was Alex, Alaric’s wolf.

”What are you doing? Don’t you want to be with me?” my mate spat, bringing me back from my thoughts.

I pulled the dagger further from my body and closed my eyes. I wanted to finish my broken self, once and for all.
