My Brother's Bestfriend Is My Mate

No denying it.

I walked through the door, to see Nox sitting on the pool table. He was soaking wet, he must have just got back. Axton was in the kitchen, prepping dinner and Alex was sat down on the sofa. As I walked in, they all stared at me, but no one said anything. Not even Alex's big mouth.

"Where's Axel?" I shouted to the room.

No one replied. Fury built up in me, I was burning with rage, knowing they'd been keeping this massive secret from me. I could kill them.

Knowing that, yesterday I almost lost a brother and everyone knew but me, did not sit well with me.

I walked over to Alex, anger filled me. He stood up and put his hands up in defense and before I knew it, I had punched him as hard as I could in his face, but I didn't stop there. I grabbed him by the hair and punched him harder and harder, screaming at him.

"AXEL ALMOST DIED, YOU PIECE OF s**t, WHY WOULDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"

Everyone was screaming my name, but I wasn't done.

"WHAT IF HE DID DIE? HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN IT TO ME? YOU f*****g PIECE OF s**t!"

I managed to get a few more punches in before Axton grabbed me by the waist pulling me off of him, but he was next. I elbowed Axton in the stomach until he released his grip and I turned around and I punched him straight in the mouth. Holding his face in his hands, I punched him again until he was on the floor. I gave him one more punch to the chest before I heard Axel's voice, behind me begging me to stop.

I looked at my beautiful, harmless brother and walked over to him. Suddenly my hand rose and I slapped him across the face before tearing up and hugging him. I started crying under my big brother's hug. He squeezed me tightly back, embracing my hug.

"Don't you ever make me feel like I am going insane ever again!" I wailed on his chest. He pulled me from his chest.

"I'm sorry." He muttered to me, a genuine heartfelt apology. He teared up.

I turned to face Nox, who wasn't sitting on the pool table anymore, but he was closer to the sofas. Inches away from me.

I walked over to him, grabbed him by the face and kissed him, aggressively, passionately. I had no idea what came over me, but I finally knew, I finally knew what they were, and who they were, and it was the biggest relief ever.

Ever since I was a kid, there were all these questions I had about them, why they were so weird. How they heard me mutter at them under my breath. Now I knew.

Axton finished cooking, but everything was awkward. Maybe it was the kiss with Nox. Maybe it was the fact I knew. I don't know how I knew, but I knew. How am I supposed to tell my brothers I had some sort of daydream that showed me what happened?

I ate my food and headed upstairs. I felt like having a bath, a nice hot bath, just to ease the tension.

I just kept wondering to myself, what am I? Who am I? I'd rather just keep it to myself, if I'm honest.

I finished having my bath, and walked into my bedroom, in only my towel, To find Nox sat on my bed. All I could picture was his bright wolf, with the streaks and the cute little ears. I smiled to myself.

"That was quite a stunt before dinner." he laughed.

"They deserved it." I told him, harsher than I meant it.

"The kiss, I meant. AJ."

"What about it?" I looked at him confused.

"It was nice, it was weird, but it was nice."

I smiled at him, it was nice, it was freeing.

"Why was it weird?" I asked him curiously, did I embarrass him?

"I don't know, I just felt relieved afterwards."

I smiled again, thrilled inside. It was a big relief. It was out in the open now. My brothers knew we had something going on.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Nox asked me, standing up and walking towards me.

"You little weirdo, of course, I'll be your girlfriend." I told him, giddily. I was overwhelmed with joy.

Nox gave me a big smile, and hugged me, squeezing me tightly. There was a spark at his touch.

After we broke the hug, I realised I was still in my towel. I looked down at the towel and then up to Nox.

"I'll turn around." He playfully huffed.

I grabbed some shorts and a vest top and quickly got changed, trying to dry my hair with the towel quickly, so it wasn't so wet against my skin.

"Okay, I'm done." I said as I made my way to my bed, tucking my legs into the duvet. Nox turned around and sat at the edge of my bed.

"Can I ask you something?" He looked at me, as if he was treading lightly.

"Yeah?"

"How did you know?"

I took a big sigh before I replied, I felt like I could tell him. I felt like I could trust him more than anything. He was loyal to a fault, I'd seen all that.

"I saw it. I went for a walk to clear my head, I don't know why I had the sudden urge to, but I did, I even fought Alex on it. I came across the rain washing a big patch of blood into the riverbank. I sat down next to it, wondering if it was Axel's. When a big flashing light nearly blinded me, I started watching what happened as it I was watching TV. I saw everything, the wolves jumped up from the riverbank, attacking Axel. Wolves attacking Axton and Alex. Then you, coming from our house, save them. Saving Axel, bringing him back to life. Waiting there, fighting off any who came back, while we brought Axel home. You're my brother's hero." I looked up at him, to make sure he didn't think I'd lost the plot. I had a surprised expression on his face, but he was smiling, as if he was proud.

"You saw it all?" he asked, double checking.

"Yes, everything, even myself, trailing behind you, far behind you." I told him.

"That's incredible, AJ. That really is amazing." He said enthusiastically.

"Do you know what I am?" I looked at him, hopeful.

"I think, I think you're a Seer. It sounds like it, we can go to your Aunts and Uncle's house tomorrow if you want and see if they know? It sounds like you're a Seer though. There's not too many of them around."

"Why not?"

"I don't know, it's a rare thing, extremely rare. It explains why your eyes turned pure white the other day when you were raging at us, and why they were white downstairs while you beat Alex and Axton up." He laughed.

"My eyes turned white again?"

"Yeah, can you not feel it?"

"No, I feel anger and burning inside my body, but I can't feel my eyes changing"

"Well, it's not the only thing you do." He said, with a stern straight face.

"What else do I do?" I asked him worriedly.

"Well, you sort of lift off the ground, only a few centimeters, but you do lift of the ground."

"I lift off the ground? Shut up." I said, half thinking that he was joking, but he wasn't.

"I'm dead serious, I promise. You lift off the ground, or sorry you lifted off the ground when you were screaming at us all when Axel first got hurt. You didn't lift off the ground when you were hitting Alex and Axton."

I paused on the bed for a little while, not sure if I wanted to continue the conversation.

"AJ, this isn't a bad thing. It's actually a really good thing." Nox tried to comfort me, but it didn't really work.

"I just, I don't really know how to feel about it. I feel like a monster. I only do it when I rage. That can't be good."

"AJ, you do it with all your emotions. It's just that. Lately, all you've felt is rage. I think your powers are tied to your emotions because you've just figured out how to use them. Once you get the hang of them, you'll be In Control, you'll be able to use them, naturally, like breathing."

Nox did have a point. Lately, all I had felt was anger. Maybe with practice this would be different.
