My Brother's Best Friend Is My Mate

Chapter 28: Heading Home

LIAM'S POV

Liam was the definition of astonished when Emerald leaned in to kiss him, her full lips on his skin made

his heart flutter. She seemed bold now, which was rare as he had been led to think that she was

extremely shy. His wolf, Zane, was eager to get close to his mate but Liam told him that they would

have to be patient with Emerald. After all, she was human. He was not sure how the pack would react

to her as having a human mate in the supernatural was a rare phenomenon. Some supernatural

creatures despised humans, thinking of them as weak and pathetic. But having known Emerald, she

was the opposite of that. She had not a clue of the power that she possessed over him, nor did she

know that she was the only thought on his brain all day, everyday. Thinking about her quirky smile, her

sassy attitude and her genuine personality brought a little light in Liam's bleak life. He was certain that

she was his mate, and though she was human, he vowed to love and protect her. She was perfect, to

him a god sent them like her namesake. Nothing or no one could change Liam's mind about how he felt This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

about Emerald. He didn't know her as well, but he promised himself that he would get to know every

single small detail about her. He knew that seeing her so vulnerable today would take a huge toll on his

sleep. Everything she did affected him. Everything. Whether deliberately or not. She poured her entire

heart out today, in desperation from every burden she has been going through. Liam tried not to blame

himself for dragging her into this entire mess, into the world of supernatural creatures. She looked like

a small lost puppy, which was heart breaking enough for Liam than thinking he was the cause of it all.

EMERALD'S POV

Kissing Liam Jones was a dream all by itself. If someone had told me that I would be bold enough to

have the guts to kiss Liam Jones then I would've laughed in their faces. After that brief affectionate

moment, I looked up at Liam and his cheeks were ruby read and I laughed at him making him blush

more. I wanted to pull his hair so badly but I needed to figure out my feelings for Liam later and deal

with my own bangle now. I had school tomorrow, and Spencer was going to have to drive me back

home so that I could prepare. I have tons of homework to finish, and those essays aren't going to write

themselves. "Do you think you can probably drive me home?" I ask Liam. A few minutes ago I was

talking about burdening people and trying to behave 'INDEPENDENT' but here I am begging Liam for a

ride. I really need to go join a club with the description, 'Hypocrites Only'. Because that is exactly what I

am. "It's fine. I'll drive you." Liam says without breathing. "No. I don't want to bother you. You probably

have more things on your plate than I do." I say and I can almost see my subconscious shaking her

head whilst saying, 'Pathetic.' Liam tells me once more that he'll drive me home and that it'll be no

problem at all, his voice leaving no room for an arguement. "Can we stop for Macdonald's first though?

I'm starving." Tomorrow I'll focus on my independence, I can't reject food like that, especially if it's free.

Which leads me to another thought. I really need to get a job so I can start making my own money. I

can't depend on my parents all the time for money, and I most definitely won't depend on any of my

friends. I saw a bookstore that was accepting employees but in my haste and attempt to run away from

my bestfriend I forgot. "Then let's get going!" Liam yells and I think I've finally found someone who is as

enthusiastic as me when it comes on to the topic of food.
