Love Bite (mxm)(Brothers Book 2)

Chapter 9

Tyler's POV

I was excited Jon wanted to travel back with Damon and me. I had missed my big brother and wanted some time with him. Not that I didn't also miss my dad and the twins, but Jon held a special place in my heart. I wanted him to get to know Damon and for the two of them to like each other. They're both extremely important to me.

"Lil' Man, when were you going to tell us he changed you?" Jon asked from the backseat.

I turned in my seat to look at him and said, "I wasn't hiding it. I figured you guys would be observant enough to spot the changes."

"When did it happen?"

"It happened right before the attack at their house in Seattle. If we'd had time I would have let you all know before we left, but Mom was being such a bitch about him being a vampire and didn't realize that I was now one myself."

"Typical Mom. If it's not the gender of the mate it's the species she has a problem with."

"Bubba, don't think badly of her. Yes, I'm not happy with how she reacted to my mate, but I was prepared for it after what she did to you and Tim two years ago. It's never easy to have your parents dislike your mate. You saw the reception Dad gave Damon."

"It isn't that dad doesn't like him. We don't really know him yet. Dad's just concerned for your safety, like he would be if it were any of us in the same position."

"I know he loves me. I just want him and all of you to like Damon. I think once this is all over and we have a chance to get together and relax, you guys will get to know him better. Right now if he seems cold, it's only because he's worried about all of us."

"Cariad, it'll be ok. When things calm down, we will go spend time with them." Damon grabbed my hand and glanced at me quickly, before he looked back at the road.

"Thank you, Liebling." I looked back at Jon and said, "Just so you know, there is one other person who has a problem with us being mates, but he also hates that I'm a bear. He wasn't thrilled when he found out more bears and even wolves were coming to help either."

"He'll have to deal with it, because we aren't about to let you guys fight on your own," *snarled Jon.

"I know you wouldn't leave us hanging, Jon, and I never expected any less. We appreciate you guys coming on such short notice."

"Think nothing of it, Lil' Man; you're family and we will always be there for each other."

We pulled into the driveway and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. I glanced at Damon and could tell he felt it too.

"Jon, link the guys and tell them to be on guard; something's wrong," I cautioned. I looked at Damon and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"Cariad, I don't know what it is, but I can tell we're not alone. It's not any of my guys. I think Spencer's found us. I will get a hold of my friends and get them here as quickly as possible, but I need you inside fast." He looked at Jon in the mirror, "Jon, tell them to get in the house as rapidly as possible; forget about the luggage."

"Already done, Damon."

"I'm not leaving you outside by yourself, Damon," I told him, fearing for his safety.

"Cariad, we must all get in the house quickly."

"I can't lose you like I did Nique the last time we dealt with Spencer. Why don't we head to Harris or Leon's house, so we aren't walking into a trap?"

"Cariad, we're already here. I'm done running." He put the SUV in park and we all jumped out and ran for the front door. Right before the door closed behind the last of the wolves, I heard a sinister laugh from somewhere in the dark.
