Mated To My Three Lycan Bullies

Chapter 9

(Mia's POV)

"Where are you, Mia?" Vivian asked as soon as I answered her call.

"I'm on my way now. Where can we meet?" I asked.

"I sent the location to you. Hurry up," Vivian said before the call ended.

Sighing, I picked up my black handbag, ensuring my card was inside. After that, I left the house, saying goodbye to Mom. I got into her car, and her driver drove down to the shopping plaza and parked.

"I will wait for you here, Ma'am," the driver said once I got out of the car.

"Alright," I replied with a smile, looking around the mall area. There were several people going about their hustle. The sun shone brightly overhead, and I gave Vivian a call.

"Hey, Vivian. Where are you?" I asked, taking a stroll near the roadside.

"At the mall! I see you—come over!" Vivian waved at me, and I spotted her standing with a tall man.

Smiling, I ended the call and crossed over to catch up with her. Vivian wore a green dress and black shoes, while the tall, brown-skinned man beside her was dressed in a yellow shirt and black trousers.

"Hey, Vivian," I hugged her happily after crossing the road.

"Hi," I waved to the man, and he smiled.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm good," I replied, standing next to Vivian as she grinned.

"Mia, this is my older brother, John Adams. He told me that he likes you and asked me to help him talk to you," Vivian said, introducing me to her older brother.

"Aw, it's nice to meet you, John. I'm Mia Anderson—the chairwoman's daughter," I said with a smile, extending my right hand for a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you, Mia. You're so beautiful, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since I spotted you at the academy," John said as he softly kissed the back of my hand.

My cheeks flushed, and I replied, "It's nice to meet you too. You don't look bad yourself. So, did you actually come to shop, or did you only come to meet me?"

Vivian laughed. "Come on, Mia, my brother is very serious about you. I know you might not know much about our people yet, but he believes you might be his mate," she said.

As I looked around the mall, I felt someone's intense gaze on me. When I looked back, I caught sight of Liam and Luis standing on the opposite side of the road. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of them, and I quickly looked back at John.

"Can we go somewhere private, or start our shopping?" I asked Vivian, becoming thoroughly uneasy seeing Liam and Luis standing across the street. The two of them were dressed in black clothing and shoes, and I wondered where Leon was. *Did they follow me?*

I pondered, and Molly replied, *"No. They came for their own shopping. Do not forget their father's wedding is upcoming."*

*"Yeah, that's true,"* I thought.

Vivian gently tapped my hand. "Mia, you seem lost. Is everything alright?" She looked at me with concern.

Seeing her bright yellow eyes, I nodded and forced a tight smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Actually, your brother is nice, but I don't think I can date him," I said, and Vivian's face fell.

"Don't worry, I'm not rejecting John. I just mean a lot is going on with me right now. First, my mother telling me about our kind and that I'm a werewolf—which I'm sure you are too—and second, she's getting married to Alpha David. So you see, I'm just overwhelmed," I told Vivian so she wouldn't overthink things or believe I hated her brother.

"Wow! So Alpha David is getting married to your mother? That means Triple L are going to be your stepbrothers!" Vivian exclaimed, and I felt a headache coming on.

"Yeah," I laughed tightly.

John looked at me with concern. "Is everything alright, Mia? You don't look well." He placed his hand on my forehead to check my temperature.

Before I could say anything to John, a deep, magnetic voice spoke from behind me. "Dr. John, it's nice to see you here."

I tensed, knowing immediately that it was Luis. He shook hands with John, and I was stunned to realize they knew each other.

John bowed slightly and greeted him, "It's nice to meet you, Alpha Luis. I'm just hanging out with my younger sister and her friend."

"I see," Luis said, his gaze shifting over to me.

Vivian tensed up and greeted Luis and Liam, "Good afternoon, Alpha."

"Yeah, afternoon," Luis replied, before turning to face me. "Little sister... seems like you don't want to greet us, huh?"

I froze, uncomfortable with the way Luis publicly addressed me as his little sister.

Liam chimed in, "Maybe she needs to be disciplined."

"No. I'm sorry for not greeting you guys. I got carried away. Good afternoon—happy now?" I looked directly at Liam and Luis.

"Alpha, please forgive Mia," Vivian quickly interjected. "We were just discussing how she didn't know she was a werewolf, so she was just lost in thought. It's not that she didn't want to greet you."

Liam peered at Vivian and smirked. "I know. Just like how you're introducing your brother to her, right?" He licked his lips and smiled down at Vivian.

"No, Alpha. Mia is my friend. I just wanted her to meet my brother," Vivian replied, lowering her head.

I didn't like the way Liam was intimidating her. "Leave my friend alone, Liam. If you have an issue, you should talk to me directly, but stay away from my friend," I said, stepping in front of Liam and looking up at his face, unfazed.

Liam smirked. "It's fine. We'll be getting going, but be careful, little sis," he warned me, before turning to Luis. "Let's go, brother."

Luis looked at me coldly for a moment before strolling away with his brother.

"Oh my goodness, Mia! How could you talk to Triple L like that? They are our future Alphas, and no one dares to disrespect them like you just did!" Vivian gasped nervously.

I smiled. "Let me buy you something while we shop. You don't have to worry about them. They will be my stepbrothers once my mother marries their father, so I can talk to them however I like. Alpha David gave me that privilege," I informed Vivian, whose jaw dropped in shock.

"Wow, Mia! That's amazing. If you didn't have their father's backing, they could have disciplined you right there. I could already feel the aura of anger from them. You need to be careful around them," Vivian advised, looking at me earnestly.

"I know. Let me take you shopping. Take care, John," I waved to John as I pulled Vivian along with me.
