Love can build, but it can also destroy.
It takes away everything, all of
the Joy.
Despair may feel incarcerated
bitterness,
But it's there to comfort in the face
Of loneliness.

Kenneth

A stupid person is someone who has the facts, who has the proper information, and still makes the wrong decision. I made a mistake, now I'm living with the consequences. "I regret it, I really do." I said, looking at all my brothers and two friends, who are also my brother in laws. Simon and Blade. "I'm sorry Ken. It was my idea to begin with. I ruined your life and any chances you had with your mate and wife." Said Blaze, my brother. "No. The reality is people mess up. Don't Let one mistake ruin a beautiful thing. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future Ken. Let's not blame each other and duel in the past. You hear me?" Said Drake, the most thoughtful brother.

"She doesn't want me. She hates me." I said, recalling her face full of loath towards me. "Even if I confessed that she's my mate, she didn't even flinch bro. It was like, she doesn't know any emotions other than anger and loath. Every second I was in her presence, she made sure to tear me apart with each sharp word she threw at me. I can't even meet her eyes more than a few seconds, afraid to see the accusations she had for me." I said, blinking my tears. "Hey. You're breaking my heart man." Said Blade, squeezing my shoulder. "I can imagine what you're going through. Your sister didn't make it easy for me either." He said smirking.

My other brothers chuckled. But I was not in a mood to even react to any jokes. "This is why, I don't want a mate." I rolled my eyes at my all so great cold hearted brother Brenton. All of us gave him a death glare, which he brushed away. "What? Correct me if I'm wrong. Look how pussy whipped he looks. A mate makes you week here and here." He said pointing at his heart and mind. "Few days back you were happily fucking that brunnet, screaming 'this is how you should treat a bitch' and look at your state today. As soon as your dragon recognized her as your mate, that pathetic human is the only thought decaying your mind."

Felkor growled at him for insulting our mate. "Careful brother mine. Think again before trash talking about our mate. Felkor will tear you apart, brother or not." I warned him." he smirked that idiot. "Dracon loves challenges. Are you challenging me brother mine?" He laughed manacingly. We growled at each other, teeth baring. Before anyone could stop us, I was out of my chair throwing punches at my dickhead brother. His dragon was also out with scales and claws. "You are weak brother." He said throwing me toward the table we were gathered around, smashing it into pieces.

I groan, getting up and did the same to him throwing him against the wall. He hit hard and fall down bleeding from his mouth and nose. He laughed baring his bloody teeth. "Is that all you got?" I growled and marched towards him with every purpose to teach him a lesson. But two pair of hand hold me back. " let me go!" I'm going to kill him today. "Stop this nonsense, both of you!! Shouted Drake coming in between both of us. Kaiden and Blaze were helping Brenton up. He was still smiling, that dumbwit.

"What has got into you Kenneth? Brenton?" Kaiden asked, frustrated. "Weren't we talking about how to get his mate back? How come both of you end of throwing punches at each other's faces?" He asked, pushing Brenton to sit on a chair. "You all saw him starting it!" I said, pulling myself out of the hold and walking straight to the window, to get some fresh air. "Fucking asshole! " I muttered, looking at his bloody face. Blade was handing him a cloth to wipe it. I did a good job cracking his head and nose. Although he would heal in no time, it felt good, hitting the shit out of him.

"You feeling better? " I turned my head to Brenton confused. He smiled wiping his bloody nose and winching fixing his nose. "I think you do." He said, winking. I groaned in frustration. This idiot. He was just taunting me for a fight to break out all that frustration I had cooped up inside me? "Did you have a death wish?" I asked. "He rolled his eyes and walked towards me with a smirk. "I'm not that easy to kill brother. You should know better. " He said, handing me the cloth, pointing at my mouth.

I snached it from his hand, wiping my mouth with it. "I still think, mates makes you pussy." He smirked, leaning on the window, basing his elbows. "Fuck off Brenton!" I said walking towards the wet bar and fixing myself a drink. He laugh out loud behind my back. That moron. I saw the others in the room shaking their head in disbelieve. "You're impossible Brenton. Wait untill you find yours, and we'll see who's the most whipped." Said Simon, hitting his chest playfully. "Not more than you. My sister did a very good job making you her slave." He said taunting him.

"It's called love brother in law. You will understand when your time comes. He smiled at him. "Then you have to wait for an eternity, because that's not going to happen any time soon. I love all the attention I'm getting from my females. I can't stick to just one pussy my whole life." He said, snaching my glass off my hand and finishing the remaining with one go. He hissed, I growled. "See you guys later. That fiery pussy is waiting in my bed all dripping and wet to be fucked." He said, holding his semi hard manhood. He laughed when we all groaned in unison. Then he was out of the room.

"Fucking clown" said Blade, taking a seat beside me. "How're holding up brother?" He asked concerned. " I sighed the hundredth time today. "I want her back. I wanted her even when I didn't know she was my mate. I am not loosing her again, now that I know she's my destined." I said, pouring another drink. "That's the spirit man. Keep that thought running. You are not far. You're the only one who knows her well. Find a way to win her back. We're here for you." He said, gesturing at all of the others in the room. " Even that idiot of brother who just left." He said placing a hand on my shoulder and rubbing it. I look around and they gave me assuring smiles. "Thanks" I said, and I mean it.

" Anytime Ken. What are brothers for?" I heard Kaiden say, ruffling my hair. "Hey" I said, swatting his hands away. They all laughed and joked, making me feel a little better. Emotionally. I don't know what I would do without them. "Let's do one thing. How about we send your sisters, for a change and check the waters? Suggested Simon. "Not a bad idea. Women are more experience in this sectors. They can handle it better than us. The safest option for now I think." Agreed Blade. "Ok mindlink the ladies then." Said Drake taking a seat.

Both my brother in law's eyes fogged, calling for their mates. "They're coming. Brace yourself brother." They warned me. For what I have no idea. They might be my sisters and I'm close to them but I can't deny the fact that their mates know them better. Just after Kaiden oh so dramatically explained my situation to my two sisters about my doings, it was clear to me why Simon and Blade warned me about their mates.

Abigail and Alison eyed not only me but everyone in the room. "So you all ganged up on a little human, who was not only your wife but your mate too?" Alison the calmed but collective one of my sisters concluded. Everyone of us wanted to protest but she raised her hand. "Let me finish." And we all shut it at once. "I agree you're protecting her but didn't any one of you felt even a pinch of guilt bringing divorce papers to her? Poor thing. She was already in a dark place. How could you? She's family Simon. Mate or not." She glared at her husband.

"It was your father's wish. I couldn't disobey." He defended himself. "And it was his wish too to keep us women including mothers, out of the loop?" She was pissed now." He didn't have any answer to that, which gave her all the answer she needed. "Men!" She gritted. " You deserve what was coming for you Kenneth. Don't act like a victim here, it's not you her. Your poor mate." She said, looking the other way, fuming. "I know that Alison, and I'm trying to make it right. Please I need your help. I'm begging you." I said making her eyes go soft.

She exchanged look with Abigail and sighed. "Fine. We'll see what we can do but don't expact me to bring her back with me. I know how betrayed she must be feeling right now. I'll just point out the obvious and leave the ball at her court. I'll let her decide. Because it's her life and non of us have any right to demand anything from her, after what we already did." I nodded. " that's all I'm asking, I said hugging her. She didn't hug me back though.

Gently pushing me back, she meets my eyes. "I'm still mad and very very disappointed at you brother." She complained. "You should be." I said, giving her a smile. "Before we go meet her, I would like to have a talk with father though." She said determined. "Then in the evening, I'll go meet Tiara." She said. "I'll come with you." Said Simon. "No. I don't want you or any of you there today. Let us handle this our way.....you guys have done enough. " she gritted and walked away followed by Abigail.

"Fuck. Why is it just me that she's mad at? She just showed me the way to the dog house." Simon blinked dumbfounded. "I feel sorry for you brother. I really do." Said Blade, following the ladies. "I'll make sure, someone is there by father's side while our mothers try to tear him apart." Drake too ran away like his ass was on fire. " Nobody can save father today, chuckled Kaidan. "Well I'll be in my quarters if anybody needs me." Said Blaze leaving aswell. Its just Kaiden, Simon and Me in the room now.

"Hey Ken? I just realized, I haven't seen Kiara yet. I mean non of has." He said. " Hmn" I agreed, taking out my phone. "I have few pics of her." Then I smiled looking at our wedding day picture. "This was taken just before I picked her up and...take a look." I missed her so Fucking much. "Here" I handed my phone to him, smiling. He looked excited to see the pics. "Oh finally...the woman who stole my little brother's heart." He chuckled. I smiled. Yeah she did.

Even after couple of minutes, when I didn't get my phone back, I looked at Kaiden. He look surprised all of a sudden. "Have you seen her before?" I asked. "No" he answered startled and returned my phone back. "I....I suddenly remembered, I have somewhere to be. I'll...see you guys at dinner?" He said, standing up. He left the room before me or Simon could utter a work. "What got into him all of a sudden? " I asked. Simon didn't reply, deep in thought.

"Simon?"

"Simon!" I shaked him. "Yeah? What? What did you say?" He asked. "Bullshit! I think you know what is wrong with Kaiden. Tell me." I said, curious. He took a deep breath. "I'm not sure. I'm just thinking that his heart desire a mate too. That's my wild guess." He said, shrugging. "I never gave it a thought before but maybe he's not the only one.  Do you think they are all jealous of me because even though much older than me, yet I was the one to find my mate first? " it's like I'm rubbing my mate on their faces.

"Nah Kenneth. They are anything but jealous. They could be sad though." He said. "We are all happy for you, bro" he said, smiling at me. "Thanks" I don't know how long it will take me to bring my mate back in my life but no matter how much she push me away, I'll never fall back. I'll never stop showing her how sorry I am, how much she means to me, with or without my siblings help.

I'll bring you back My mate. My wife.
