Chapter Ora • 3
I smelt her fragrance before she even stepped into the counselors office.
The alluring aroma of hers had my body tensing up.
No way in hell I ever thought I would meet my fucking mate here in Liam's office. The poor bastard always has me coming in here to see him. Hoping in some small way he could help me. Ha. That's a laugh. Help me?
No one on this godforsaken earth could ever help me!
Especially not this buffoon.
He just doesn't realize how far gone I actually am.
The mental social outcast of my family. Pure demon in the most delectable way.
I'm corrupted far beyond anyones help.
I honestly wish Liam would give up on the notion that he could save me. No one can save me. I'm a devil in a handsome disguise.
The eldest of my brothers. The epitome of evil. I've corrupted each and every one of them. Bringing them all into my fucked up delirium.
Any other sibling would falter at the idea of making their innocence siblings enter this fucked up vile world of mine, but not me. I relish in the idea that I was the one who brought them into The Fragnites. I made them stronger. I taught them how to be tough and not to take shit off of anybody.
I made them men!
But when that enticing fragrance hit my nostrils I knew our world as we knew it would end up being demolished.
Every single one of my disruptive brothers want so desperately to meet their destined one.
Not me!
I knew once we met her everything I worked so damn hard for would be lost.
That's why I ignored her.
When her sweet voice apologized for her disruptive behavior, my hands fisted up, gripping the chair arms harder.
The urge to jump up from my seat and ravish her body in that very instant was all consuming.
But I'm far stronger than a stupid fucking mating call.
When Liam jumped up from his seat behind his desk yelling to me that my fucking mating bracelet was glowing I saw red.
The instant he yelled out his disbelief I heard the door in other room slam open abruptly.
Relief flooded me in that very second.
Maybe she's as reluctant as I am about having a mate. With her being so indecisive it gives me a momentary reprieve, it's time to seek out my damn brothers and get their damn heads on straight before they will eventually meet her.
"I got to go." Before I can give Liam a second to respond I hit the door quickly. Hunting down my family to warn them all.
"Meeting over with already?" Entering our dorm, slamming the door behind me, I eye each of my brothers lounging around the room. All except Cal, guess he's hasn't returned from muscling up Agnes over the money he still owe us.
"Why isn't Cal back yet?" I grit out at them, they all look at me curiously. Faron just shrugs his shoulders dismissing my curt aggressiveness. He continues tossing a football into the air.
Asher is sitting on the flush carpeted floor in front of the coffee table, with his textbook open and his homework scattered across the oak table.
Knowing I'm going to have to tell them the unfortunate information, I plop my disgruntled ass on the sofa next to Asher. Eyeing both of their wrist cynically. Neither of them are wearing them which amazes me. Maybe they aren't as interested as I thought they would be.
Cal comes crashing the door very obnoxiously, he's been acting this way a lot lately. I taught them all how to be bad asses but he's been getting way to cocky for some time now. I need to sit his ass straight before he gets out of hand.
"I saw her!" Cal announces excitingly.
Fuck! I knew I should have told them as soon as I came into the door.
"Who?" Faron ask him dubiously.
"Our mate!" Cal walks over to sit on the sofa on the other side of Asher. Asher and Faron are staring at Cal with fascination.
"Who is she?" Faron ask.
"Where?" Asher ask.
"What's her name?" Asher ask.
"What did she look like?" Faron ask.
"Is she got?" Faron ask.
"Where the hell is my damn bracelet?" Asher demands.
I'd be laughing at their antics of this wasn't so fucking serious.
"Doesn't matter who she is or what she looks like. We're not going seek her out and we are not going to be with her!" I bark out at them all. Placing my arm across the back of the sofa I glare at each of them. Daring them to defy my ruling.
"You're my brother an I love Ora but you can't keep us away from our own mate!" Cal grunts at me, I'm literally shocked for a moment.
My brothers have never dared to back sass me. What I say always goes. I knew Cal has been tempting fate lately but I never realized he would be defiant towards me. That shit is not going to fly with me and he knows it.
"I'm the oldest. I'm the boss. You will damn well do I say or I will gladly kick your ass." Standing up abruptly, I walked over to the side bar that's in the kitchen. Pouring me a shot of bourbon. Turning my back away from my brothers at their disrespectful attitudes. The liquid gold burns going my throat.
"Fuck you Ora!" Slamming the glass down on the marble countertop, I turn on my heel, glaring at my disloyal brother.
"No. Fuck you Cal! This girl could mess up everything up for us. Everything we worked so hard to get! Allowing her into our lives could destroy us!" Cal stomps angrily over to me. Standing eye to eye with me. We stare each other down. I can't believe he has the balls to get into my face like this! He may be only a year younger than me but that will not stop me from beating his ass for his blatant disregard of our gang.
"You mean her? We could destroy her life. That's what's bothering the most isn't it? You're afraid! You're afraid that what we do will corrupt her? I got news for you brother I don't care what you think! If I want to be with my fucking mate then I will and you can't stop me!" Cal pushes me back with his hands on my chest, stumbling back slightly from his push I knock the glass off the counter. It crashes into the hardwood floor splintering everywhere.
Before I could react Cal turns headed for the door.
"Where the hell are going?" Faron ask, before he could make his exit.
"To Princeton's party. If you need me don't bother calling me!" He slams the door on his way out forcefully.
We all state at the door he vacated. Astounded. He has never once come at me at like before. I've never seen this side of him before. I didn't get a chance to look at our mate but she must some hot piece of ass for him to defy me this way. Shaking my head at his stupidity, I make my way back to the sofa. Crashing on it beside Asher with a disproving grunt.
"He's not going to stop you know. He has determination." Asher tells me, his solemn eyes clash with mine. I see the scorn in his gaze.
"He will get over it."
"No he won't. Neither will we Ora. You know how long we have waited for our mate. Why would you want to deny us this? We deserve a little happiness." Faron pleads with me. I ignore his pleas. I know what's best for them. I always have. No matter how long they have waited for her, I will not let her destroy us. I can't.
"We've been happy without her all of this time. Why would we need her to be happy? Look at it this way Faron. If we don't allow her into our lives you can continue to be the fuck boy you've always been. If you had a mate you couldn't continue to do that." I try to reason with him. Faron begins to shake his head, I stop him before he can usher a word. Waving my hand in the air.
"No. You know I'm right and what about Panta? Do you think she would approve of you finding your mate?" Raising my brows at Faron, he presses his lips together in a firm line.
I knew he couldn't argue with that assumption.
Panta has been his girlfriend for almost a year now. I never liked the crazy bitch but I will use her to keep my little brother from falling down the mating hole.
"Then I guess it's time to break up with her isn't it?" Faron quips. Sitting back in his chair staring at me defiantly.
Hell even I can't believe he suggested that option. He's been head over heels about that crazy bitch since he met her. To give her up so easily over a girl he hasn't even met yet has never astonished.
"That I would pay to see. Panta won't let you go so easily. Even though she knows she will never be your mate she keeps spinning her web around you and you fall for every time." Asher smirks when he tells Faron this. He's got a point though. Panta will definitely cause all sorts of trouble. She has every time a girl has even dared look in Faron's direction.
Like I said crazy bitch!
"Doesn't matter. She can do whatever she likes. I'm choosing my mate and she can go fuck herself." Faron says it with so much determination in his voice it's kind of scary.
"She will hurt her." Asher reminds Faron just what Panta can and will do to their mate.
"Then I'll just have to kill her." Faron quips again.
His demeanor leaves no room for argument. He means exactly what he's saying and I thought I was a crazy mother fucker. Faron can be just as devious as me if not more. Yea I'm sort of proud that I help create the monster that lives inside of him. With him being a werewolf his possessiveness can't be outdone when it comes to his woman.
"Let me do it. I can't stand her." If Asher gets his hands on Panta he's sucked the very life force out of her. He's a special vampire who doesn't have to survive on blood just someone's life force. Every time we need a person to disappear we send in Asher for the job. One bite and your done in quickly.
I'm proud of them both.
Now with Cal he's different. He's possessive just like Faron. He's a Wyvern. Where Faron thinks with his dick, Cal thinks with his heart. Maybe that's why he's been acting the way he has been lately. Letting his heart get in the way of what he needs to do and not what he wants.
Me, myself, I'm a demon. An Incubus to be exact.
I carve and thrive on sex to quench my hunger.
No mate would ever be able to appease me.
Faron stands up from his seated position. He grabs his leather jacket off the back of the of the chair he was previously sitting in.
"Where are you going?" Slipping on his jacket he gives me one of his famous lopsided grins.
"To Princetons party where else?" Faron heads for the door
"Hey wait for me!" Asher scrambles up off the floor, grabbing his leather jacket.
"You coming?" I hesitate for just a second. Feeling a bit hungry I need to get some action so why the hell not join them. There's always free pussy at Princetons parties.
"Sure!" Exiting our dorm room we head off to Princeton's sanction house.
The party is booming as per usual.
Almost all of the Academy's students are here to celebrate. Music is blaring out the speakers, a song by Kendrick Lamar has everybody pumping. Be Humble has everyone on their feet dancing.
I fucking love a good ass party.
Someone in the crowd of dancers passes me a lot joint. Taking a hit of the spliff I pass it on to Asher behind me.
Making our way through the crowd of people we head over to Princetons makeshift bar.
Sliding in between two girls I grab a bottle of Jack from the bar.
Then the enticing fragrance hits me.
Fuck!
Before I have a chance to even register her beside me, Faron and Asher quickly stand before her. With their eyes wide and full of wonderment.
Turning my hostile glare to her, I notice Cal standing directly beside her. With his arm around her waist, whispering into her ear.
"Cal?" Asher tries to get his attention but with the music blaring Cal can't hear him. Faron nudges his shoulder roughly. Glaring at Cal, Faron nods his head to the girl Cal has his arm wrapped around very possessively.
"Introduce us brother!" Asher has to scream it to him. Raising his head off of the girls neck slowly.
Cal scowls at them both.
He finally notices me behind her.
I devilishly smirk at him. I'd knew I'd bust him.
She catches Cal glaring at me. Then she turns her head toward me and those bright beautiful fucking eyes lock unto mine.
Hating myself for the rush of feelings I'm having at just her look. I slam the bottle of Jack down on the bar, walking away from my brothers and my hot as hell mate.
I'll fix this situation if it's the last thing I ever do.
Waking out of Princetons party with my hunger unabated I blame it all on the tiny little vixen with the beautiful bright blue eyes.
I don't know what exactly she is but I don't know that whatever she may be.
She already has my brothers bewitched!
