THE ALPHA'S PROTECTIVE BROTHERS novel Chapter 3

After dinner Beau helped me with the dishes and cleaning up and everything and then he had to get going and I made sure all the doors were locked and I went upstairs to my room.

I had a shower and I got dressed into a singlet and shorts and I went to the library and started unpacking my boxes of books until I heard mom finally get home at around 11pm. So I went out to the kitchen to see her.

" You're dinner's in the fridge." I say.

" Fantastic. Thank you so much." She says opening the fridge but then examing the large dish of lasagna. " You must have been hungry." She commented seeing how much was missing.

" I ate the usual amount. I had company." I say. And she closed the fridge door without getting any food looking at me suspiciously.

" You can calm down. It was Beau. The Alpha's little brother. He stopped by to meet me when I got back from buying groceries and that's when you sent me the text saying that you weren't going to be home. So I invited him to stay." I explained.

" What's he like?" She asked.

" Really nice. Funny. We get along great." I say.

" There was nothing about him that felt off? Like at the old school?" She asked.

" No. But they don't know about us like they did at the old school. So, I think he's just going to treat me like any other girl there." I say.

" Good honey. I'm happy if that's how it will be. But remember, just be on guard. You don't want to trust the wrong person." She says.

" Believe me, I've learnt what people not to trust. He didn't seem like any of them. He was really cool." I say. So mom got some dinner out and heated it up and we talked while she are.

" So, all of the botched proceedures that the nurses have done, those patients have made appointments and are coming to the hospital so that I can treat them again and fix what the nurses have done." Mom finished explaining about her day.

" So, a lot of late night?" I asked.

" Yeah. Sorry. I know that we have movie nights on Saturday night and I completely missed it tonight." She says.

" It's alright. You have to work. I get it. We'll make up for it in a few weeks when things settle down." I say.

" Absolutely. Nothing will stop an all night movie binge." She says.

" Alright. I'm gonna finish unpacking the boxes in the library and then I am going to go to bed." I say.

" No worries. I'll hopefully see you in the morning. I have to leave pretty early for a Sunday." She says.

" That's alright. I'm sure we'll still talk." I say and I lean down and kiss her cheek before I leave.

I finished in the library and then I headed upstairs to bed. I read for a little while before I finally fell asleep.

Mom was right. I didn't hear her the next morning and she was gone when I got out of bed at 9am. So I went downstairs and made a coffee and I sat at the table drinking it, trying to wake up properly.

After that I went to the living room and started going through the TV apps until I found a movie that I hadn't seen for a while and decided to watch it while I was lying on the couch.

My phone started going off so I had a look at it.

BEAU - Watcha doing?

ME - Watching a movie.

BEAU - What kind of movie?

ME - A scary movie haha

BEAU - What's your favourite scary movie?

ME - Very original. Like I said last night, cheesy.

BEAU - LOL. Got any plans today?

ME - Nope. Movies. Chill day before I start school tomorrow.

BEAU - Want some company?

ME - Depends. Do you talk the whole way through a movie?

BEAU - Only to piss my brothers off. I won't do it to you.

ME - Ok. You can come over.

BEAU - Wait. You're not watching a chick flick, are you?

ME - Hell no. Rampage with Dwayne Johnson.

BEAU - Start it from the beginning. I love that movie and I am on my way.

I laughed at that so I stopped the movie and I got up to get some snacks and drinks and put them on the coffee table and Beau got there surprisingly fast.

" You're lucky I had only just started watching that movie. If I had gotten too far into it then I wouldn't have restarted it." I admit as I opened the front door.

" Wow. Messaged in time. I thought you'd sleep in on a Sunday." He says coming into the house.

" I don't really sleep in." I say and we walk through to the living room.

" Holy shit. It's like a movie theatre in here." He says.

" What can I say. I know how to put on a good movie marathon." I say as we sat on the couch.

" Did you do this a lot back at your other pack?" He asked.

" Every Saturday night with mom. We always had our movie nights." I say.

" But not with your friends?" He asked. I didn't really know how to answer that. I didn't want to lie to him but I didn't want to tell him the truth either.

" Alright. You're talking and you're not meant to be. Shush." I say pressing play on the movie.
