The Avestan Viewer -- A Wolf Love Story

Chapter 28 -- Brother's Keeper

Matthew spoke to my brother and had Gavon flown up to our pack house. I think Gavon was thinking this was going to be an adventure. I was on the front porch of the pack house when my brother arrived in a pack SUV, and Stephen was standing behind me holding Matt.

"Gavon!" I cried and jumped in his arms. We weren't all that close, but I loved him since he was my brother and I was glad to see him. I didn't really get a chance to talk to him at my wedding, and this gave us a chance to catch up. Or so I thought.

Gavon lifted his head, sniffed the air and growled. "Mate!" he said and started to frantically look around. Oh oh I thought as Gavon walked around Stephen and I into the pack house, and right into the kitchen. I just looked at Stephen who was smirking and followed him in. I wondered who it was as he walked right up to Elise who was turned away from us listening to her ipod music with earbuds in while making a sandwich- and she was dancing a little lost in her own world .

Growling, Gavon said "Mate" again and wrapped his arms around Elise who just shrieked, threw her sandwich in the air, spun around and punched Gavon right in the face. Elise was my bodyguard for a reason. Gavon went down hard with a surprised grunt, but stared at Elise while he started to get right up again while holding his obviously broken nose with one hand. Which was streaming blood down his shirt and making his eyes water.

Elise shook her hand (I'm sure it hurt), pulled out her earbuds, grabbed hold of his shirt pulling him up a little, and threatening to punch him again. "Listen bastard," Elise began, and then suddenly let go of Gavon making him fall back down on his ass again. I tried hard to hold in my laughter, but when my brother fell on his ass and was getting beat up by his mate- I let it rip. I started laughing so hard, and Stephen joined me as Matt was looking anxiously back and forth between everyone. Elise didn't even look at us as her mouth fell open and she started sniffing the air herself. Gavon stood up slowly, and Elise took a step back like she was unable to process this information.

"Mate," Gavon bit out from under his hand on his nose, but didn't reach for her, wary of her punches.

Elise held out her hand in a futile attempt to keep him back. "Mate?" she asked him and he shook his head yes. He pushed her hand down and she just stared at the contact and shivered. Gavon went to her, blood and all and pulled her to him slowly. Elise let him while she still looked shocked, and he put his head down to her neck and breathed in deeply. Automatically Elise wrapped her hands up around his neck and pulled him tighter. I smiled and looked at Stephen, who handed Matt to me and walked over to Gavon patting him on the shoulder.

"Come on Gavon, let me show you to your room."

"Room?" Gavon said pulling back to look at Elise, as he dived right into her mouth.

Stephen sighed, he knew all about it. "Yes, your room is this way so you can be with your mate."

Gavon pulled back and shook his head 'yes', then finally looked at Stephen with totally black eyes. Gavon was dangerous now, but still in control of his wolf. Stephen looked at him carefully to make sure, he didn't want Elise to be in danger. But Gavon was as fine as the mate-lust would allow him to be.

Stephen said to Elise, "Sometime today you might want to get his nose looked at in the Infirmary so it heals straight." Stephen tugged Gavon's shoulder and led him upstairs to Elise's room. I heard a door slam shut, and Stephen returned a minute later smiling.

"Well I guess we now have a free morning, love," he said to me with his eyes twinkling.

Smiling back I said, "I guess so. And I'll need a new bodyguard."
