My bullies, My Step Brothers, My Mates?

Lexi's pov

The cloud of dust from them skidding to a stop billowed around me causing me to cough and sputter.

My still damp hair, skin, and clothes were like a magnet to the dust and clung onto me.

Wiping my eyes I heard Nathan who stopped the vehicle right beside me start berating me.

“You smell like that bastard Lexi, were you off fucking the Beta’s nerd son?!’’

“No, I'm not a whore like you,” I spat.

Nolan had gotten out of the passenger side and handed me his shirt he had removed.

“Use it to clean yourself,” he said firmly.

Glancing at his tan, firm chest I thanked him as I used it to wipe off the dust covering my face.

“You skipped Physics class but I covered for you,” he mumbled softly, bringing my eyes up to him.

“Thank you, Nolan. I was just with Mini,” I explained and Nolan grinned.

“You were with Sloan as well, I can smell them both on you,” he sighed and then hugged me.

“What are you doing,” I muttered.

“Hiding their scent, silly. Our dad’s senses are stronger than ours,” he explained, causing me to relax in his embrace.

“I like him, Sloan I mean,” I admitted quietly and Nolan nodded looking somewhat dejected.

“He is a smart fellow,” was all he said as he escorted me to the back seat of the SUV.

Seeing Nathan glaring at me through the rearview mirror I fell back into the seat when he pressed the gas pedal.

“You should not be skipping class on your first day, especially since you are on the honor roll,” Nathan growled.

Rolling my eyes I couldn't understand why he gave a crap what I did then I remembered what Sloan had told me during lunch about being mates.

“You sound like you need to get laid, Nathan,” I blurted and jerked back when he slammed the brakes.

Turning back at me Nathan glared at me menacingly.

“Don't tell me how to run my sex life that you know nothing about!”

Nolan put his hand on his brother’s chest telling him to calm himself.

Huffing he snarled at him as well and exited, slamming the car door closed.

Looking out the window I can see the house.

Swallowing uncomfortably I stayed in the back seat hearing Nolan sigh.

“He has changed since he turned eighteen and hasn't been with anyone,” he told me.

“I'm not his mate, I can't be. I'm just an omega,” I blurted and was shocked by Nolan when he started to laugh at me.

Frowning at him he quieted and said, “Who put that thought in your head? Was it Sloan?”

Narrowing my eyes at him I told him no but he side-eyed me and grinned.

“Let's go inside and I will explain it to our parents while you go take a shower. You smell like a wet dog,” he snickered and I gasped.

“You brat,” I scolded him as he exited the vehicle.

“Hurry,” he responded sternly.

Shuffling my feet I followed him up the steps. He opened the front door and told me to run up to my room.

“Take a shower,” he ordered and I gave him a scowl telling him that I was going to.

Running up the steps I glanced back down at Nolan to see that he was watching me. Flipping him off I giggled seeing the shock come to his attractive face then a bright smile.

“You like him,” Nova chortled in my subconscious.

Pinching my lips together I told her he was more tolerable than Nathan.

Entering my room I started stripping my clothes as I headed to the bathroom.

Standing in my under things I started my shower and when it was hot stripped off the last layers to get in.

Standing under the spray of the shower I didn't hear my bedroom door opening or the door to the bathroom until the shower door flew open and I shrieked.

“Get out you sick pervert!”

Trying to cover myself with the wash rag I glared at Nathan standing there ogling me in the buff.

“Wow, you are in better shape than I'd imagined,” he said roughly.

Starting at him incredulously I tossed the wash rag directly in his face then scampered out of the shower to escape the prick.

Racing to my closet I yanked a shirt from a hanger but couldn't get it on before Nathan opened the door and strode angrily toward me.

Having no choice I dropped to all fours and shifted into Nova. She growled savagely and her back hairs rose in warning, stopping his advance.

“Nice Lexi, I just wanted to talk!’

Lowering my wolf’s head I glanced around him to see Nolan rushing in.

“Brother, this isn't the right way. You're scaring her,” he asserted.

Seeing Nathan gritting his teeth I stepped back when he whispered harshly that I would pay for everything.

Confused as to what he meant by that, I watched him shake his head and curse. Finally, he retreated and left with the assistance of Nolan.

Exhaling deeply I shifted back and hurriedly got dressed.

“What is that guy's problem, wolf?!’

Nova was pacing in my mind and whimpering, unable to understand what had just happened.

Going back to the ensuite I shut off the shower and cleaned up the mess of water everywhere.

Hearing a knock on my door I figured it was my mom coming to check on me. When I opened it my smile fell seeing Nolan standing there.

“Are you alright? He didn't hurt you did he,” he asked with real concern.

“I'm fine, just a little shaken up,” I sighed.

Nodding his head I noticed that he was carrying a brown paper bag.

Cocking my brow I asked him about it, making him grin.

“I made you a sandwich since you missed dinner tonight and brought a soda,” he explained, lifting a can of coke in his hand hidden behind the door.

“You can eat it in our rec room, Nathan left, and won't bother you,” he added.

Thanking him I followed him out to the sitting area and sat on the couch.

Nolan placed the bag with the can on the coffee table and stood there awkwardly.

Glancing up at him with a grin I asked him if there was something else.

“Your mom and my dad have planned their wedding date,” he announced, surprising me.

“Why didn't she call me to let me know,” I questioned.

Shrugging he came to sit down next to me while he wrung his hands together.

Watching him I smiled as I bit the sandwich he had made me.

“Thanks and this is good,” I said, raising the sandwich with my mouth full.

“Listen, Lexi, about the past…can we just forget about how Nathan and I were, um active with the opposite sex? Not to excuse our behavior but being a male werewolf heightens our sex drive,” he muttered sourly because I was snickering at him.

“I'm not laughing at you, Nolan. I find you more appealing than your brother,” I admitted truthfully.

“Well he's a year older than me and a bad influence,” he stated and my brow creased.

“How old are you?”

Grinning slightly he said, “Same age as you for two more weeks!”

Nodding, I mumbled softly, “ So Nathan is eighteen now.”

“Yeah and ready to get his mate. He is a rough lover so I pity the poor girl,” he chuckled, causing me to cough on the bite I had taken.

Patting my back he asked me if I was okay.

“I'm alright…can I get the assignment for Physics,” I blurted.

Laughing, Nolan told me sure and I watched him hurry off to his room.

“He is very nice,” Nova commented and my lip curled.

“He is handsome as well but then again so is his older sadistic brother,” I commented sourly.

When he returned with the sheet for homework I took it and read his answers.

Shaking my head I pointed to one and snickered, “This answer is not correct and neither is that one.”

Grabbing it back from me his brow furrowed as his eyes scanned the parts I'd pointed out.

“Can you please explain why it's incorrect?”

Patting the cushion next to me I told him to sit down while I explained the equation.

The two of us went over the entire assignment. I copied it as well and when I told him that it was now a hundred percent and finished he kissed my cheek.

After he drew back he apologized profusely and I found it enduring.

“Calm down Nolan, I would have done the same if the roles had been reversed cuz your answers were dismal,” I teased, causing him to curl his lip and argue that they weren't that bad.

Laughing I patted his thigh and told him I was going to bed.

It was late. I could see the crescent moon from the glass patio doors.

Seeing the moon like I had Nolan exhaled and said, “It's around eleven, sleep well and I will see you in the foyer at seven.”

“Goodnight and thanks for everything, really,” I said sincerely, making him smile.

As I headed to my room I glanced back and paused as I watched him pick up my trash.

“Do you think he could be my mate instead of Nathan, Nova?”

She whined and told me she wouldn't know until I turned eighteen.

Sighing I went to my bed and plopped down upon it.

“I like Sloan too, I'm such a hoe,” I groaned as I rolled over to my stomach.
