🐯Sophie's P.O.V.🐯

Connor and I walk over to my brother's dorm. He's been off since he came to get me. I hope it's not because of my brother. He's really a sweetheart, just a bit scary.

I look up at him, hoping to calm him down. "It's okay. My brother is a big teddy bear when it comes to me. I'll tell him everything and you'll be fine." I say reassuringly.

He gives me a small smile that doesn't really meet his eyes. He's definitely still worried. "I know everything will be fine. I'm just worried he'll think that I'm not good enough." I can see the lie in his eyes.

"Why are you lying?" He looks at me shocked. "Mate bond Connor." He nods in understanding.

"I, uh, got stopped by your rogue friend. I don't really like him. He gives me a bad vibe." I stop in my tracks. He met Hunter?

"What did he say?" The guy had me intrigued since he said he wouldn't hurt me.

"He said he has patrols watching you, which I don't understand because this is school grounds. There's no way the headmaster would willingly allow rogues to live in the woods." He pauses. "I'm tempted to tell the headmaster about them."

"No!" He looks down at me with a worried look. "He promised he nor his men would ever hurt me. If he's protecting me then just leave him be." He nods his head and clears his throat.

"So, do you like this guy?" Is he serious? "I mean, if you do..." He doesn't finish his sentence.

"I don't like him. Not that way. I barely know him. I barely even said a whole sentence to the guy." Connor sighs and I can feel him physically relax.

"Good. I had no idea where I was going with that. I'd be physically and mentally crushed if there was someone else." He turns to me. "You are mine. No one else's." I laugh at his possessiveness, but nod.

"I won't belong to anyone else." We get closer to my brother's dorm and I take my arm out of his. "It's probably better if we break this to him slowly, that way he doesn't get angry all at once." Connor nods and walks beside me.

We get up to the door and he opens it for me. I walk in and notice the interior is very close to my dorm, except it has more guy like furnishings. More horns and claws, you know, guys stuff. My dad's office is covered in this kind of stuff.

"Your brother is probably in the living room." Connor says as I walk partially behind him. We walk into a large, spacious room with a huge flat screen tv. "Hey Greyson." My brother turns and glares at him. Once my brother stands up he immediately changes. His eyes show worry as he comes to me and pulls me into a hug.

"I'm glad you came to see me. I was so worried about you when I was told you ran off into the woods alone. It's good that Connor here was able to take you back." He doesn't look at Connor, but instead pulls me into another hug. "You aren't hurt, right? Dad made me promise I would protect you. I would've come to check on you last night but the headmaster told me it was better that no guys went into your dorm for a while. Which includes me, sadly." I glance at Connor who was in my room late last night. My vision only flickers to him for a second, but my brother notices it and stares at him. "Why did she look at you when I mentioned that? Were you in her dorm past curfew last night?" My brother's eyes pierce through Connor and I see him actually gulp. Was Greyson really that scary? Apparently so.

I speak up in place of Connor. "No, he came to check up on me this morning." I say. "Can we sit down?"

My brother stares at me, worried again. "Yeah, are you okay? You didn't get sick did you? What kind of sickness can were..." He stops and looks at Connor. "He knows, right?" I nod. "Can you get what werewolves can, or are you completely different?" He asks worried.

"I'm not sick." I say as he helps me to the couch. "Actually, I have good news."

He turns to glare at Connor. "Does it have to do with him? I really don't like his presence when I'm having a private conversation with my own sister."

"Yes, it has everything to do with him. Now look at me." My brother turns, confused. "Last night I ran into the woods because I was afraid everyone would see my tiger. I got surrounded by rogues, which oddly didn't attack me. They actually bowed and pledged to protect me. Anyways, not what I'm here for. They gave me clothes after I shifted. I have no idea why Connor was in the woods, or well I do, but I didn't know he was there. He saw everything."

Greyson stopped me. "Those clothes you had in your hands, were on my sister's body? Oh you're dead." He stands but I grab his arm. "What?" He snaps at me, but immediately sits down. "Sorry, go on. I'm sorry for interrupting."

I nod. "Thank you, as I was saying. I went back to my dorm. Now promise not to get pissed when I tell you this." I wait for him to nod and eventually he does. "Good. Connor was waiting for me in my room. I didn't know until I heard him call me his." I pause, but Greyson doesn't get it. "Connor is my mate. The one the Goddess chose for me." I feel Greyson's arm tense under my hand.

"Congrats." He says it through gritted teeth. "Dad will be so proud." Why is he so angry?

"Greyson, I found my mate. Why aren't you happy for me?" I stare at him and he softens.

"I'm sorry, it's just, all he's done since yesterday is lie to me. Not a great start for him." Greyson turns to Connor. "You hurt her," he points at me, "and I'll kill you with my bare hands." Greyson stands up. "Break her heart, and I'll rip yours to pieces after cutting it out of your chest."

"Wow, a little over dramatic are we Greyson? That is my mate you're talking to. It's not like he's a boyfriend with no other attachment to me." Greyson turns, tense.

"If you've had other boyfriends, I'll beat your ass." Whoa, not the Greyson I'm used to.

"Okay." I stand up. I'm a head shorter than him, but I have a powerful aura. "Sit down, now." I glare at him and he does as I say. "You know perfectly well that I have never dated in my life. Where is all of this coming from? What's going on? This is not the Greyson I know and love." He looks down at his hands.

"Rachispregnant." He says it so quick that I can't register it.

"What? I don't speak fast gibberish. I don't speak gibberish at all." I place my hands on my hips.

Greyson sighs. "Rach is pregnant." I feel my jaw drop, then a smile spreads across my face.

I jump onto my brother and hug him. "Congratulations! You're gonna be a dad!" He laughs a little and hugs me back. I get off of him and glare at him. "Why are you being such a sourpuss? This is a good thing. You should be ecstatic."

He nods vigorously. "I am, it's just there's so much stress now. I have to introduce her to mom and dad quickly and she is not happy with the fact that she can't stay here because it's a boy's dorm and I won't let her around so many unmated men. We have been having little fights, and I'm starting to think she doesn't want it, when I want it so badly." He throws himself to the back of the chair, covering his face.

"Stop being a dick. They have coed buildings here. Tell the headmaster about your situation and he'll definitely give the both of you a room." I cross my arms. "Or do you have too much pride to ask?"

He looks over at me. "You know they have to ask your parents' permission if you can live in one of those buildings. Meaning I'll have to explain to mom and dad that I've not only met my mate, but that I've also gotten her pregnant all before she has even met them." I nod.

"Look, it's either that or let her stay here until you can introduce her to them on thanksgiving." He groans and I just stare at him. "It's the only way big bro. I'm going to bring Connor on thanksgiving. Mom and dad will be thrilled to meet him, although I'm telling them that I've met him today. I can tell them that you'll be bringing your mate, if you want that is."

He shakes his head. "Mom will kill me if she hears it from you first. I'll never hear the end of it. 'How dare you keep this from me? Your own mother! I would think that my own flesh and blood would know when to tell me things, but no, I have to hear it from your sister.' Oh and think about if she finds out that my mate is pregnant before I tell her I even have one. She would go bat shit crazy. No, I'll tell her." I laugh at his obvious reluctance to talk to our mom. She was always hardest on him while our dad was hardest on me. Greyson understood why dad always paid more attention to me. Ever since I shifted into a tigress my dad has been focused on me being able to protect myself. Greyson completely agreed on the fact that I needed to know how to keep myself safe.

"Alright, do you want to call together? I'll get my news out and you can get yours out too." Greyson pulls out his phone and dials our dad.

Of course he picks up. I see my dad's worried face on the screen. "Is everything okay? Is Sophie alright?" I laugh at his worried dad voice.

"Dad, I'm fine. Greyson and I have something to share. Is mom there?" I ask.

"I'm right here dear." I see my mom's face move beside my dad's. I smile at the warmth that exudes from her.

I nod at Greyson. "My news first." I pause. "Mom, dad." They nod, patiently waiting. "I found my mate here, at school." My mom squeals loudly and my dad growls.

"You're too young. I don't want him alone with you, ever. Do you hear me Greyson? Never let him be alone with your sister." Dad gives Greyson a cringe worthy glare.

Greyson nods. "Already on that." He turns to look at Connor.

"Is the boy there?" Big mistake. Now dad wants to see him. "Of course he is. Let me see him." Greyson faces the phone to Connor and I hear my dad use his Alpha voice. "Don't you dare touch my daughter inappropriately. She is too young for pups."

My mom is squealing in the background. "Oh he's so cute sweetie, we're going to have the most adorable grandbabies!" That's my mom. I'm sixteen and she is ready for me to start popping them out.

I pull the phone back to Greyson and I. "Yeah, not happening until I get out of this school mom. Although, Greyson has some news too." I set him up so he couldn't squirm out of it.

"What is it Greyson?" I hear my mom ready to bust a capillary.

Greyson doesn't look at the screen as he speaks. "So, I found my mate a while ago. She's gorgeous and amazing mom, you'd love her." He clears his throat. "There's also someone else I know you'll love, probably more." I nudge him and he coughs. "My mate is pregnant." He's staring straight at the ground.

The phone is silent for a second and I think that we lost them, until I hear my mom full on scream. "OMG! I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!" I laugh as Greyson cringes. "Oh goddess! I'm so happy! When are you two leaving?" Two? Does she mean me? Both Greyson and I look at her confused. "Greyson, you can't expect your mate to go to school and carry around a baby. You also can't expect her to let you stay at school while she's here growing by the day. No, you are bringing her here as soon as possible. She will give birth here with me and her mother if she wants."

Greyson's jaw drops. "Mom!" She just glares at him. "But this place is the best!" No change. "Mom!"

"I don't want to hear it. You do the deed, you deal with the need. Right now your mate needs comfort. You can talk it over with her. We will expect to hear from you in a few days. Now, hand me to your sister." My face drains of all color as she says those five words.

Greyson hands the phone over to me. "Yes mam?" I ask, trying not to sound too scared.

She smiles at me. "I'm happy for you. That boy is lucky to have you. Your father and I can't wait to meet him." My dad smiles and nods behind her. "We'll see the two of you at thanksgiving?" She asks.

"Yes, I was planning on bringing him then, as long as it's okay with his parents." She nods at the sensible reason as to why it isn't a definite yes.

"Alright, well we will be waiting for your answer too. We love the both of you. Be safe and take care of each other." She smiles and waves as I let Greyson get into the camera too. We wave goodbye to our parents then he shuts off the phone.

Greyson lets out a breath that I didn't know he was holding. "Well that went better than expected." He turns to Connor. "Especially for you. I thought he'd threaten to put you in the dungeons for eternity if you hurt her. Mom, on the other hand, I completely expected that. Overdramatic as ever."

I laugh at him. "Well at least I know where you get it. You need to talk to Rachel. She might be thrilled of the idea. Most girls get stuck in ruts here." I look down at my hands.

Greyson leans down to look at my face. "You can ask to go home you know? Mom and dad would be so happy for you to be back completely." Some part of me wants to ask them if I could, but another part wants to stay here.

I look up to see Connor staring at me. "No, I want to stay here." I feel Greyson turn to look at Connor and he lets out a defeated sigh.

"Well, you can't keep mates apart if they want to be together. I have no right to tell you two to stay away from each other, but I will say this. I love you dearly Sophie. Please don't do anything that will make dad kill the both of you." I nod at him and he smiles. "Good, now it looks like I have a pregnant mate to talk to about moving hundreds of miles away. This should be fun." His smile drifts into a smile where his eyes are filled with fear.

I laugh lightly at him. "It'll be fine. You and Rachel will have plenty of time to make up." He glances at me and rolls his eyes. "I didn't mean that, perv."

He eyes me up and down. "I'm only thinking about my mate the same way he thinks of you." He nudges his head towards Connor. "Wait, scratch that. If he even thinks about thinking about you like that I'll kick his ass. You're not old enough."

I roll my eyes and stand up. "Thanks for being dad. I thought I left him at the pack house."

He grumbles. "I am not dad." I nod.

"And I'm not a tigress. Love you, Greyson." I quickly grab Connor and dash out of the dorms. He is so dad.
