The unexpected attraction
Lava Hot · Ongoing · 49.1k Words
Introduction
Not long after her twenty fourth birthday, her mate finally makes an appearance.
What she doesn't expect is her mate is The Carson Gray. The richest, most eligible bachelor in town and the epitome of beauty. And worst of all, The Carson Gray is a brother to one of the students at the junior high school and one of the new school board members.
To avoid the unnecessary chaos, she seeks help of an old friend who helps her mask her scent in case she runs into Carson unexpectedly.
It seems to work for a while and as she and Carson keep running into each other in pretty unpleasant encounters, she realizes that she made the right decision. There is no way Carson Gray is capable of being her dream mate. He is arrogant, cold, heartless and narcissistic.
The medicine seems to mask Bethany's scent for a while until it's a birthday party of one of Carson's and Bethany's mutual friends. She forgets all about the medicine and goes swimming, and the water successfully wipes off all the scent- masking medicine.
Carson obviously finds out and to say that he is angry is an understatement.
He wants to know why Bethany denied him a chance of being his fated mate. He wants to know why Bethany thinks the worst of him. He has so many questions which Bethany answers in all honesty.
She tells him how irritating he is, how much of a showoff.
Chapter 1
I awoke to the sound of loud footsteps echoing through the two-bedroom apartment I shared with my grandmother, whom I affectionately called "Mee-maw." It was unusual for her to be up before me; her usual morning routine didn't kick off until 10 am. However, that morning, she was stirring before 6 am.
I couldn't help but wonder: was our house on fire?
With that alarming thought in mind, I sprang out of bed, clad only in a gray, oversized t-shirt and boxers, and hurriedly rushed out of my bedroom. Maybe I could salvage something from the supposed fire, if indeed the house was ablaze. Or perhaps Mee-maw was simply sleepwalking.
As if on cue, her bedroom door opened simultaneously with mine. Yet, she wasn't alone. In one hand, she dragged her large suitcase, which housed her collection of fancy clothes, while the other hand held two handbags and her phone.
"Mee-maw!" I exclaimed, frantically scanning for any signs of fire, but there were none.
I reached out to relieve her of the bags, and she offered no resistance. She let me take them from her and gestured for me to lead the way to the living room with a nod of her chin.
"Mee-maw, what's going on?" I stood my ground. "It's too early in the morning. Where are you going? Why are all your bags packed?"
With a twirl, Mee-maw, despite her seventy years, displayed an unusual amount of energy for the early hour. "You'll never guess what happened," she beamed.
"What happened?" I was eager to know, dropping her bags to the floor.
"Jeffrey asked me to move in with him!"
"Jeffrey? Who's Jeffrey?" I couldn't recall anyone in our lives by that name.
"My boyfriend, silly," she playfully tapped my shoulder.
"What? Jeffrey is your boyfriend? Didn't you just meet him last week?"
Mee-maw shrugged. "Time is relative, dear. You wouldn't understand, always playing nurse at that dull school, all year round, waiting for your mate."
I scoffed. "First, that 'dull' school pays my salary, which covers our rent. And second, what's wrong with waiting for my mate?"
The bags were now forgotten, and Mee-maw ushered me into her bedroom. She took a seat beside me on her temporarily abandoned bed and held my hands in hers. "Sweetie, waiting for your mate is not a bad thing. In fact, it shows how much of my DNA is in your body."
I nodded, lost in her words.
"I met your grandpa, my mate when I was nineteen. He was a mechanic, and I was a simple florist. But he loved me deeply. There's nothing quite like having your own mate. You won't have to be alone anymore; you'll have someone to take care of you and watch over you."
"I'd like that, Mee-maw," I whispered. Why did my mate have to be so elusive? I'd been waiting since I turned eighteen and shifted for the first time, but six years later, they were nowhere to be found.
"I know your mate is out there," Mee-maw comforted me, her touch gentle on my cheek. "But you also have to make an effort to find them. You're twenty-four, and yet you hardly go out to meet people. You forget this is your apartment; there's no curfew for you anymore."
"Mee-maw," I began to defend my non-existent social life, but she cut me off.
"Violet is your only friend, and she's a hundred miles away. You need to make new friends, meet new people, and who knows, you might just meet your mate."
"So, you're moving in with Jeffrey?" I tried to shift the topic. It was too early for heavy emotions.
"Yes, I am," she confirmed.
I stood up, facing her in disbelief. "You only met him last week, Mee-maw! What if he's a serial killer? Who's going to stay with me? First, my parents left, then Violet left, and now you're leaving too?"
Mee-maw shook her head and laughed. "Stop being dramatic. I'm not dying; I'm just moving in with my boyfriend who lives five blocks from here."
I knew I was acting selfish, but Mee-maw was all I had left. I wasn't certain if I would ever find my own mate, so I didn't know how to navigate life without her.
However, the adult part of me was happy for her. After losing grandpa, she deserved a chance at happiness. If Jeffrey made her happy, who was I to stand in her way?
"Will you visit me at least?" I asked hopefully.
"You won't even notice I'm gone. How can I stay away from my favorite grandchild

On the night of her birthday, not only was she disappointed that she wasn't mated to the love of her life, but she found out that her mate was none other than him - Her tormentor. Her stepbrother.

The problem is, he's the brother of my ex-boyfriend Bradley.

I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.

“LYCANS?! Did you just say LYCANS?!
“Yes Vera!They are coming! Get your people ready.”
I couldn’t believe we actually have Lycans tonight.
I was told growing up that lycans and wolves were mortal enemies.
Rumors also said in order to protect their pureblood, Lycans were not allowed to marry wolves in generations.
I was still surprised but I couldn’t let my mind wander anymore. I’m a doctor.
A badly injured werewolf comes barging in through the E.R door, holding an unconscious wolf. I rush to them and the nurses that were already in their dresses and heels come to their aid.
What the hell happened?
I turn my full attention to the severely injured lycan and for a moment, it’s as if I can feel his slowing heart beat in my own chest. I check his vitals as a nurse reluctantly hooks him to all the machines. As I put my hand on his head to lift his eyelid and check for pupil response, I feel electricity run below my fingertips. What the…?
Without warning, his eyes shoot open startling me and sending both our heart rates through the roof. He looks at me intently; I would never think those eyes are of a man who is barely alive.
He whispers something too low for me to hear. I get closer and as he whispers again; he flat lines and my head is reeling.
Did he just whisper… mate?
