[Lily’s perspective.]

The dinner event was going well. I walked around with my brother, Patrick, holding his arm. As we walked, I heard some of the girls nearby whispering to each other. They were infatuated with him and wondered which grade and college he was from.

Although many of the girls at the event were beautiful, my brother’s eyes weren’t looking at any of them. They were fixated on only one person and I could easily guess who.

Diana and her date, Jefferson, had just walked in and my brother started to let out a low, pained growl as his fingers curled up in a tight fist.

My brother and I managed to grab some food and were just about to eat at our table when I noticed Diana and Jefferson coming toward us. But, why? There were plenty of empty seats around us.

In the end, the four of us sat at the same table. But I didn’t have much of an appetite during the whole meal. The food was great. It was Jefferson that put me off. He was making greasy comments at the girls that passed us from time to time. He was starting to make me sick.

Thad already told Diana that her boyfriend was not a good person. There were even rumors in the academy that he was having an affair with many girls, but Diana still couldn’t find any solid evidence. I didn’t know what she even liked about him. She deserved someone so much better than him! And now,

my poor brother had to endure the sight of eating at the same table as his sweetheart and his rival.

Once we were done eating, Jefferson said he had an appointment with a friend to play soccer later and decided to leave first. He kissed Diana before he left, which hurt Patrick even more. Although he could be a pain in the butt sometimes, he was still my brother. As siblings, I knew we would share joy and

heartbreaks.

“Diana, are you busy later?”

“Idon’t think so. I was going to go for a walk with Jefferson, but I don’t think it’s going to happen anymore.”

“Then why don’t you come with us to the bar outside school?”

“Huh?”

“We have two friends still hanging out there. I thought we could go for a drink, play some pool, or something. It’s a Friday night after all.”

Diana hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to my invitation. I saw my brother look at me gratefully. Although I scoffed when I remembered his rich sexual past, I knew my brother well. And I knew that once he found his mate, he would forever be faithful to her, which was one of the reasons I

was on his side.

Diana and I met at a dance club not long after enrolling in school. Based on our history together, I knew that she was a good person. Thus, I definitely wouldn’t mind her being my sister-in-law, and I knew that I had to play my part to make it happen.

But I was still a little worried. First, Diana already had a boyfriend, even though he was a jerk. Second, I didn’t know if she would accept a werewolf as her boyfriend even if she and Jefferson broke up. Though werewolf mates could be of different races, we hadn’t had any human mates in Sunset Tribe yet.

We all believed in mateship, and I knew that even if he found out that his partner was a Fuchsbau or a leprechaun or something, I would still support him as long as he accepted his mate and the latter didn’t cross any lines. I bet my family would too.

Since Patrick had parked in the school parking lot not far from our dorm, Diana and I decided to change out of our formal wear and put on more comfortable clothes first before going to the bar. Luckily, our room was close, so my brother suggested that he’d get the car and pick us up at the dorm entrance.

After we changed, we waited for Patrick at the dorm gate, but he didn’t show up and didn’t pick up his phone. This made me a little embarrassed. What the hell was he doing? I was helping him, but he was ruining his first date already. Well, OK, maybe it wasn’t a date per se. But I couldn’t think of anything

more troubling to him than having a girl wait for him on a first date.

Iwas cursing him constantly internally but I put up a smile on my face as I suggested that we look for him in the parking lot. Maybe his car wouldn’t start, or something. It’s a silly excuse. Fortunately, Diana didn’t seem to be upset as she agreed.

Just as we were about to leave, a familiar gray Land Rover pulled up in front of us. The door swung open and a shirtless man crawled out on his knees. He had a bloody nose and injuries all over his body. When I saw his face, I was shocked. Then I heard Diana scream.
