GAMMA CALENDAR BROTHERS

HADZABAE’S POV “Mum are you seriously leaving me with them?” Mum took the last drag from her cigarette and crushed it beneath her heel. “Moses is finally taking me out, are you suggesting I take you along?” An ache stabbed through my head immediately. “Mum I can’t survive!!” I pleaded. “Those guys are scary. I can’t even survive a day with them. Can’t I stay at some guesthouse?” She rolled her eyes, obviously frustrated. “Hadza don’t question me! It’s our first honeymoon after marriage, and this is the best time to get used to your brothers! For how long will you avoid them!?” Brothers or should I say stepbrothers. The thought of them still felt foreign. Two months ago, we moved into Alpha Moses Opie’s mansion and my constant heart palpitations started then. I was scared of his sons... No. Not that they never noticed me... they did, but we lived in different worlds, even though we were under the same roof. I couldn’t look them in the eyes for two second straight… they were intimidating as hell and also very hot as danger. Every night, my dreams would betray me with fantasies I'd never admit to. I mean, dreams where they saw me, talked to me, and... Now, Mum was going on a honeymoon with their father, and was leaving me all alone!!? “Hadza” Mum’s voice called me calmly. “You know the kind of shits we passed through after your dad’s death? Now that we have a better life, the least you can do is try” “But Mum….” She eyed me in a way that signaled the end of the discussion. Two years ago, my father died, and his family abandoned us. I love the fact that she moved on but these stepbrothers… “Fine” I muttered. “I’ll try to adjust” I helped mum take her bag, while she went to call the Alpha. Since she’d given me a final warning, I knew she didn’t want to hear anything more about my concerns. Despite being twenty years old, I still had a respect and fear for mum that I can’t explain as most of my friends started living alone at my age. While waiting at the parking lot to bid her final goodbye, a Rolls-Royce pulled up. Gamma July, one of my stepfather’s quadruplets exited, smoking but looking handsome as well as scary as hell. He cast a look of curiosity at me as he stopped — probably the first time he'd acknowledged my existence since we moved in. I held my breath and stared back at him without any words, frozen like an i***t. My heart skipped a beat. Only if I could get to... “f**k it!” July sneezed and left like I wasn't worth his greeting. Mum appeared with Alpha Moses just as July left. The Alpha patted my shoulder. “Your mum told me about your fear of the boys. You don’t have to worry about anything. This is an opportunity to get close to them and make them your brothers for real” Make them my brothers? What a joke.. “Alpha I can’t just…” “Hadza…” Mum warned before I could finish, and I kept quiet immediately. “Have a safe trip and call me if anything comes up” I resigned finally. Mum smiled and hugged me. “Now that’s my good girl. Enjoy yourself” “Mmm” I watched them board the car, and leave me alone to my doom. My admission to the university hadn’t come through yet, and I had basically nowhere to go. I know no one around here! “Face your fears, Hadzabae,” I recollected what Dad would have said in this kind of situation. I walked back into the mansion, ready to lie in bed all day and binge Netflix, when I heard a groan from July’s room. “‘July?”I wondered aloud, but shrugged and decided to leave. But my heart couldn’t be at rest. What is he doing? Unable to contain my curiosity, I got up and tiptoed to his door. Thankfully, in April, May, and June, the other brothers weren’t home yet to creep me out. I stopped before his door and heaved a long sigh. “It’s okay, Hadza…Get close to your brothers" Only if mum and Alpha Moses knew how much I'd been close to them in my dreams. I vehemently shook my head. 'He doesn't even acknowledge you!' Then I knocked on the door. “Hello? Did you need help?” No response. I thought of leaving, but something still held me back. What if he needed help? The groan sounded more like a moan, so I pushed the door, which opened without knocking anymore. I staggered back at the scene before me. He looked back immediately. “What are you doing here?” he barked. My jaw dropped in shock and utter dismay. This was worse than real fantasy. This was REAL!! July, who'd never said more than two words to me, was now naked in front of me and.... “Ma.. Ma$turbating?” I asked aloud and foolishly because I seriously didn't know what to say. He didn't look shocked. Some rows of his braided hair loosened, and I saw the trail of hair from his chest down to... “I’m sorry” I quickly apologized and turned. ‘f**k it Hadzabae!!!! Why did you enter his room without knocking twice!!” I yelled in my mind. “Why did you come in here?” he asked, spreading dread down my spine. “I.. I actually thought you… maybe you needed help…maybe?” Since my back was turned to him, I couldn’t see his smirk, but I heard the sound of it. “So daring. Had…. Hadiza right?” “No. Hadza. Hadza, as in Hadzabae,” I corrected him, still shivering like a naked baby left out in the snow. He was silent. I automatically believed he was done talking, so I took a step. “Then. I’m leaving…” “To where?” his voice suddenly stopped me, I froze. Why was he asking me such questions? Where else would I go? “I mean, it seems like you’re busy. I should leave….” “You came in to help me right?” His voice started to scare me again, and the dreadful feeling I used to have whenever I saw him or his brothers intensified. “Y...Yes. I thought you needed help…” “Then help me” He demanded. “Turn around” My heart seized. “H.. Help you?” My breath almost got lost as I slowly turned after asking that and saw that he was still naked! I threw my hand to my face immediately. “Please cover up” I can’t say I’m experienced with the opposite s*x as I never had a boyfriend before due to my strict mum. But I saw plenty at college, watched a lot of X-rated movies, and had read several magazines under the influence of my friends. “Why acting like you never saw a naked male before?” He scoffed again. “Help me bring my wolf down” Through my half-closed eyes, I saw him point to his bulging c**k. It stuck like a gear handle, and the cap was so pink like a lollipop. ‘Damn you Hadzabae! He’s your brother!’ I scolded myself quickly and shook my head. “I don’t think I can help you with this” He took a step closer, the heat radiating from his body warmed against my body, and for the first time since I knew myself, I felt so horny like I was reading one of those s*x magazines. I stepped back immediately. “I'd better go. We’re siblings now and we shouldn’t…” “You’re not my sister, Hadzabae!” He affirmed, almost sounding like a command. “Will you help me or not?” Why should I help him? How would I help him? By sleeping with him or what? “No” I confessed. “I don’t do things like this” “You can go” Even though this was what I wanted to hear, it still felt hurtful but I shook it off. I should leave indeed. I turned to the door and reached for the handle, but something suddenly held me back, making me stop. It felt like a pull. I stopped. Slowly turned back only to see the line I’d dreaded the most and had wished would appear only when I met someone that I loved. The mate bond!!! July was still naked, and his other hand was on his c**k, perhaps ready to resume stroking, but the bond was tied to his other hand. He froze mid-motion, his eyes widening as he stared at the red glowing thread between us. "What the fuck...." Panic seized my heart. Mate? Is July my mate? "You can see it too?" I whispered, my voice trembling. He dropped his hand from his c**k, the cocky smirk completely gone from his face. For the first time since I knew him... July was shaken, threatened, and surprised. "This couldn't be right" "I know," I agreed quickly, my blood running hot and cold at the same time. “This is bad. You can reject me or anything. I don’t have a wolf and we're..." "Step siblings" He finished, but his eyes were locked on the bond, watching it pulse between us. He took a step closer and it looked like the glow became brighter."f**k" I should have stepped back, run, or pushed him back or something... But my feet wouldn't move. "Did you feel it?" He asked, his voice now sexier and naughtier. "The bond between us?" I nodded, not trusting my voice. July's jaw clenched. He looked like he was fighting something internally, his hands flexing at his sides. "Tell me to stop, Hadzabae" "What?" "Tell me to stop and I will," his eyes finally met mine. The intensity there made my knees weak. "Because if you don't... I'll do what we'll both regret" My breath caught. This was my out. My chance to run back to my room and pretend this never happened. But God help me, I didn't want him to stop. "I.." I swallowed hard. "I don't want you to stop" The words were barely out of my mouth before he closed the distance between us. His hand cupped my face, thumb brushing my cheek as he searched my eyes. "You're sure about this? Because once I start, I don't stop" "July..." I breathed and somehow, his name on my lips was his cue. He kissed me hard and desperately, like he'd been starving for it. I gape against his mouth, and his tongue sweeps in, claiming and demanding. My hands found his chest feeling the heat that matched my own. "Damn! You taste better than I imagined" he friend against my lips. "You imagined?" I managed to gasp out. His laugh was dark, sexy. "You think I didn't notice you watching us? Those little looks you thought we didn't see?" His hand slid down and grabbed my breasts. "I noticed Hadzabae... I saw you" He squeezed my them through my thin shirts. I gasped because I had no bra on! “f**k it. You’re so big!” he complemented, his thumb brushing over my n*****s through the fabric. “July..." I moaned, my head falling back. "Say it again" "July..." I whimpered, and felt him shudder against me then suddenly stopped, breathing heavily, and grabbed my hand. "Grab it" His eyes pleaded, his hand commanding mine to his bulging member. "Deal with it as you deem fit" "I..." My hands had caught the warm rod, I gasped because it felt so good, then he pulled my head and tried making me bend. "Now be a good girl"
