Alpha Brothers - the King (book 1)

Chapter 31

Chapter 31
Callum
Everything was back to normal. Well as normal as my family could be. But our fighting had gone down to one a day and our insults had lowered. Liv and I had become inseparable and refused to be apart from each.
Even now. I sat in the library, trying to look through papers as Liv stared at her wolf painting, trying to find something wrong with it.
"It's perfect," I muttered, loud enough for her to hear, but I didn't dare look up from the paper work that was incredibly boring.
She scoffed, "you have to say that."
"Of course I do. It's me."
She giggled under her breath, realizing that she had come to the wrong conclusion before.
"Where do you want to hang it?" She asked with a little groan.
"Over our bed," I told her strongly.
She eyes widened, "really?"
I nodded, "aye. That is by far my favourite piece of art in the whole house."
"Well you have to say that, it's you."
I chuckled realising that she was using my own line against me.
"I just, I don't think I got your nose right," she groaned.
I dropped my pen, giving up on the paper work.
"Do you want me to shift so you can see?"
"No," she moaned, "I'm just fussing."
"Aye, aye you are."
Her eyes narrowed at me but all I could do was laugh.
"Come here," I said through my chuckles.
She smiled and skipped her way over to me and flopped down on my lap. I caught her under her legs, cradling her in my arms.
"So my King, what's the plan today?" She asked, titling her head.
"Well, I'm supposed to be sortin' through this paper work, so...nothin'."
She giggled at me, "You should really do them."
"Hey, they'll be there tomorrow."
She frowned, "no wonder you're always behind on paper work."
"I can't help that it's borin'," I groaned like a child.
"Well let's make it fun," she suggested.
"And how do you suggest we do that?" I asked, suddenly interested.
"How about, every time you finish one paper, you get a treat?"
A raised my eyebrow, "what type of treat?"
"You know what type of treat," she mumbled under her breath making my grin spread. I loved how shy she got sometimes.
"Okay, well I've finished three already, what do I get?" I asked.
She giggled, cupping my cheek and bringing my lips to hers. When she slightly moved back, I latched on hard, locking her to their place.
"Aw, come on guys," I pulled back at the sound of Graham's groan, "this is a family room."
The only way to stop my smiling was to hide it under my hand.
"Graham you know we -."
"Don't tell him," I jumped in before she could finish, "it's best if he doesn't know."
She turned to him and smiled, "don't worry."
He was far from it. He slowly made his way to the lounges, eyeing the floor carefully.
"I'm never goin' to be able to sit in this room again," he muttered flopping down on his lounge.
"Come on Graham. I caught you and your girlfriend gettin' it on in here."
"You have a girlfriend!" Liv yelled making me jump.
"Wait, no I don't," he halted her, "when the hell was this?"
I shrugged, "I don't know. Your first one."
"So at fourteen?" Liv asked.
"Ten," Graham corrected.
"Ten! You were making out with a chick at ten!"
He just shrugged, "I was an early bloomer."
"Archie was worse," I stated.
"Was, still is," Graham corrected.
"Come on, he's not that much of a man whore."
Graham and I fell into coughing.
"Hey, what's goin' on?" Archie asked coming into the room.
"Perfect timin' Brother."
"We were just talkin' about your sex life," Graham filled him in.
"Oh, okay," he shrugged flopping down on the other lounge.
"You can't be a man whore like they're saying. I've never seen you with a woman," Liv stated moving over to them.
"I've been busy. But now that Callum over there is back to his normal duties. I'll be back in the game," he told her.
"Back in the game? Oh my God, that's horribly."
"What, the girls I go after only want that sort of thing," he defended.
"It's true Liv," I backed him.
"Don't defend him," she snapped, turning her stare onto me.
"What's so bad about it?"
"They're both using each other for sex!"
"I wish I was being used for sex," Graham muttered.
"You say that likes it's a bad thing," Archie said.
"Because it is a bad thing. I've been through the same thing with my sister."
"Who's your sister?" Graham asked with a growing grin.
"Don't get any ideas," Liv warned him.
"Aye Graham. Don't you think she's savin' her sister for someone better," Archie tease him.
"What, for someone like you?"
"Aye -."
"No!" Liv and I snapped together.
Graham and Archie both looked stunned.
"Why not?" Archie chuckled, "if one of us marry her then she'll stay in the family."
"Stay in the family? She not a piece of meat," she snapped.
Seeing the far too amused faces on my brothers, I decided to step in.
"Okay, that's enough," I told them.
They nodded but their chuckles were far from over.
"What's happenin' Brothers?" Allie asked bursting through the doors with her best American accent.
I smiled, seeing the normal Allie with her bright smile and red cheeks.
"Liv has just said that we can't date her sister," Graham wined.
She scoffed, "good. You two have shagged too many lasses."
"What, you're supposed to be on my side."
"I am on your side. Just not little Graham's," she said pointing to his crotch.
"Excuse me, Graham and little, can't be used in the same sentence," he argued.
She just smiled pitifully at him.
"Okay Gra, whatever you say?"
"No don't say -."
"Callum!"
The five of froze when Malcolm burst into the room. He was out of breath and worry and anger was written all over his face.
"Malcolm what's -."
"We have a problem," he buttered in.
I was just about to ask what it was when Donald stumbled through the other doors.
"What the hell is goin' on?" I yelled standing up.
Everyone was silent and that silence went forever. I didn't want them to answer because I knew the answer. This feeling felt too familiar. The feeling of my family around me and everything feeling so perfect. Malcolm knew what I was thinking. It was written all over his face. He didn't want to shutter my hope.
"Malcolm what's -,"
"We're bein' attacked."
