~3rd Person POV~

Ever since the incident, Y/n has been feeling better. She felt relieved that it wasn't bothering her for quite some time now. Her brothers have been really helpful lately. She was now able to go wherever she wanted without being watched. It reminded her of her old days.

~flashback~

"Are you sure he isn't a bad influence?" Travis asks her.

"Oh no Travis. He's definitely fine." Y/n said with a reassuring smile.

"I just heard that he is the Omega and is a werewolf. Werewolves are dangerous you know. They tend to be violent at most times." He said walking with Y/n.

"Oh come on! He's a nice guy. He somewhat has the same interests as I do and I'm sure he has good intentions." Y/n said sure of her judgement.

"You really are bad at judging people." Travis laughed.

"What? He hasn't hurt anyone. Plus, he brings me my favorite foods too! He seems like a brother to me." Y/n said skipping a little.

"Brother? Don't you think he likes you?" Travis asks as he stops in his tracks.

Y/n faces him and laughs.

"Uh? Is something funny?"Travis asks.

"Dude. Why would he? He has eyes for someone else. I know because he told me who." Y/n said smiling at Travis.

"Oh. Well that's good! Atleast one of my not-alone-buddies are safe."Travis said in relief.

" I'm always safe." Y/n retorted.

"Like that's true. You keep getting yourself in trouble!" Travis points out.

"Shut up idiot." Y/n said pouting.

'Hey! That's no way to talk to someone two years older than you!" Travis said placing a hand on his chest as if hurt.

"Sorry.."

" I was just kidding! You are too obedient for a Ro'meave." Travis joked.

"Hmph.Bet you can't run very fast grandpa!" Y/n bolted.

"Hey! Wait up!"

~end of flashback~

Y/n loved to reminisce and try to remember what she could about her past. It was something she found interesting.

Meanwhile, Garroth, Zane and Vylad were in the kitchen. The three of them seemed distressed.

"So the two of you saw Y/n's glowing eyes?" Zane asked, clearly upset about it.

"Yes." Garroth and Vylad simultaneously said.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Zane asked.

Out of all the brothers, Zane seemed like the oldest one. He did care for Y/n only because he didn't want things to repeat again and she was his sister.

"I- I couldn't tell you because we were at the park and Y/n was there. I couldn't just talk about it with her around." Garroth explained.

"And how about you, reject? Why didn't you tell me?" Zane looked at

Vylad was taken a back at the old nickname.

"Zane!" Garroth warned.

"So? Why didn't you tell me?" Zane said crossing his arm.

Vylad looked at him with shock, clear in his eyes. His brows certainly furrowed and he could feel tears pricking in his eyes. He fought those tears back and shook them off. He looked at Zane, straight in the eye with a brave face on.

"I didn't tell you because you never want to talk to me." Vylad said plainly.

"Vylad..." Garroth said.

"If this is about the being adopted thing I-"

Vylad cuts him off by saying, "I don't care what you think. As much as I'm concerned, I am a part of this family no matter what but you still refuse to see me as one and you're very distant with me." Vylad said holding his chest and stepping forward to Zane.

"How was I supposed to tell you when you avoid me at best."

~flashback~
5 years ago

"Uhh Zane?"

"What is it now,Vylad?" Zane asked sounding annoyed.

"I was thinking if we-as brothers-"

"Do not associate me with you. You're a reject from your father. You're only here because my father allowed you to be here. This is for my mother's sake that I tolerate you being here." Zane said harshly.

Vylad stepped back with tears in his eyes.

"I..only wanted to get to know....you better...like big brother Garroth....since I'm back from..my trip.." Vylad said looking down at the ground.

"Well lucky for you that Garroth's dumb. He doesn't see what's wrong and accepts you with open arms. For me? You're a reject and that's what you'll always be." Zane said turning his back on his brother.

"But...we're related...by mother.." Vylad said, watching Zane walk away.

~end of flashback~

"You don't listen to me. That's what you always do." Vylad said.

"Baby brothers... Come on." Garroth said trying to coax them to stop with their quarrel.

Zane looks away.

"It's just...argh!" Zane tries to leave the room.

Garroth immediately blocks the doorway and looks Zane right in the eye.

"Look baby brother, I am not letting you leave until you fix things with Vylad." Garroth said sternly.

He looks at Vylad who's looking more calm now and Zane grits his teeth.

"I don't want to, Garroth." Zane sneered.

"Then none of us are leaving." Garroth said, holding his ground and crossing his arms at Zane.

Zane glares at Garroth but this doesn't scare him. Zane eventually gives up and sighs. He turns around to look at Vylad. Vylad holds his arm while looking at the floor.

"I-I'm..sorry." Zane started.

Vylad looks at him and Garroth watches them.

"I'm sorry you were rejected. I'm sorry I never liked you. I just.."

"I hated how mom treated you."

Both Garroth and Vylad's eyes widened. They looked at each other and then at Zane.

"I hated how both of you idiots get treated. Dad loves Garroth and mom loves you more. I'm always freaking overlooked and overshadowed. I hated it. I hated how you two are their precious gems and I'm...just there." Zane confessed, anger seeping through his words.

"Zane..." Garroth slowly approaches him.

"Y/n was the only person who was there for me. Kept me out of the misery I was in and none of you noticed except for her..." Zane said looking at the ground.

"You're the one who's adopted into the family and you're getting more love from our parents and not me..who's biologically their kid.." Zane added while looking at Vylad.

"I hated that. I hated you. I hated Garroth...It was unfair. It's like anything I ever do is not enough for them to look at me. I do as much as you both do! Even more. And still I get stuck in my brother's shadow and get overlooked by my adopted brother's sweet light." Zane said crying.

Garroth slowly hugs Zane as Vylad stands there watching and processing everything.

"I..may not understand you completely...but I'm here to talk and try to. I'm here for you, Zane..." Garroth said rubbing Zane's back to soothe him.

"Garroth..." Zane said as more tears were shed.

"I haven't been the best brother... And I'm sorry you've suffered all those years with all that anger..." Garroth said holding Zane by his shoulders.

"I..I'm sorry too..." Vylad spoke.

They both looked at Vylad.

"I didn't know I was...somehow taking you away from your mother... I only wanted a family...and to fit in with you two.. I thought being somewhat opposite of you..would get you to notice me and talk to me..yet I was wrong.. I'm truly sorry big brother."Vylad said slowly approaching Zane with tears in his eyes.

Zane got out of Garroth's arms and approached Vylad.

"I'm really sorry for everything I said... I never meant to make you feel so...alone..." Zane said looking down at the floor.

"Half or not. You're my brother. My little brother.." Zane said as he engulfed Vylad in a hug.

They both held each other in a tight hug as they continued to cry. Garroth began teary eyed and joined in the hug too.

"I...don't care if you come from another father...I love you all equally. May it be half or gothy... You are my brothers and this time, I will try to do better. I promise." Garroth said wiping Vylad's fallen tear.

Zane looks at Vylad and Vylad looks at Zane with a smile.

"I'll do better to be there for you, little brother." Zane said putting his hand out for a hand shake.

Vylad takes his hand and puts Zane in another hug.

"I forgive you...big brother.." Vylad whispered as he hugged tighter.

Zane froze for a moment but then hugged Vylad back. Garroth shed a tear and wipes it away.

"Awh you two are making me cry." Garrotb said trying not to cry.

They let go of their hug. You could tell Zane was a bit happy and relieved. His eyes were crinkling making it obvious he was smiling. Vylad wiped away his tears and smiled at the two.

Meanwhile...
~Your POV~

I was walking around the neighborhood and met some of the guys. I was near the woods and really felt free that I get to atleast have a day or two without them watching over me. I felt a weight was lifted off my shoulder.

"Hey Y/n!" I heard a voice call out.

I turned around to see Laurence, Travis and Dante. They were wearing sports wear and headbands.

"Woah. Where are you three heading?" I asked as they stopped in front of me.

"Just out for a jog." Travis said with a small smirk on his face.

"Jog? That's odd. I remember you guys not wanting to exercise before." I pointed out.

"Welp." Laurence said stretching his arms in the air.

"It's a nice change of pace." Laurence added.

"Plus, we wanna be buff bois." Dante said flexing.

I giggle at his antics and nodded.

"It's good that you three are working hard."

"It's refreshing." Dante said with a big smile.

"Plus, we get to see some ladies." Laurence said smirking and raising his eyebrows up and down.

I back up a bit and smile awkwardly.

"Oh eheh.."

Suddenly, Laurence falls to the ground.

"Ow!"

Travis shakes his head in disbelief as he was the one who smacked him in the head. Dante just laughs at Laurence.

"That is not how you talk when in front of a lady." Travis said, crossing his arms.

"Aren't you the one who always flirts?" Laurence said, getting up and rubbing his head.

"Yeah. But I don't make them THAT uncomfortable." Travis said.

"Can't you see she finds you a bit uncomfortable when you say that?" Travis said standing beside me.

"Can't you read body language?" Dante said, still laughing.

"Oh uh..." Laurence started blushing.

"Sorry." Laurence said with his signature smile.

I smiled. I placed a hand on Travis' shoulder. He looks at me mad at first but then his eyes soften.

"Thank you Travis. I wasn't expecting that. Especially coming from a cassanova like you." I said giggling.

Travis smiles and nods.

"Guys gotta protect their ladies even their best friends' sister." Travis said winking at me.

I giggled even more.

"You're sweet not-alone-buddy." I said bringing up the old nickname.

"I know I am." Travis said confidently.

"Anyways, we'll be going now. See you around Y/n." Travis said jogging ahead.

"Bye Y/n!" Dante said with his cute smile as he follows Travis.

I returned the smile.
"Bye Dante!"

I looked to my side to see Laurence. He was blushing.

"I-uh..Again, I'm sorry. I hope we're still friends." Laurence said looking at the ground.

"We are still friends don't worry. Now go. You're falling really behind."

He looks at me with a bit of a sparkle in his eyes and nodded.

"See ya around, Ro'meave!" Laurence said waving goodbye as he trails behind the other two.

I watched as they disappeared in the distance. I decided to walk back.
Suddenly, I'm sent off my feet as I bump I to someone.

"Ah!"

"Woah!"

Someone kept me in balance. I opened my eyes to see a black haired man with grey eyes. Somehow this person felt familiar.

"Are you alright?" He asks as he steadies me.

I stare at him as I study his figure. He had bandages all over him too. His eyes were grey and his hair had a blue swoop too.

"Y/n?" He said bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Y/n Ro'meave right?" He asks.

I looked around looking for an exit. I wasn't going to share my name to a stranger. Although, he does seem very familiar.

"TINY! NO!"

"Argh.."

A sudden sharp pain appeared making me wince. I held my head as the pain worsens. I low to a safer position so that I wouldn't hurt myself.

"Aargh.."

"Just so you know, Y/n. Being a werewolf isn't just fun and games. Some people will step on your tail for fun! It's exhausting."

"Hey? Is something wrong? Should I call someone?" He asked calmly but clearly concerned.

Out of nowhere, the pain suddenly subsides. I look up and still saw the same guy. He held out hand for me to hold and I took it.

"What was that all about?" He asked.

"I- It's a long story." I said trying not to spread too much information.

"Oh. By the way, I'm Ein." He said showing me his hand for a handshake.

"Ein?"

~FLASHBACK~

"Hey! It's not nice to be rude your siblings. They're doing their best to be there for you, yknow?" A black haired man with a blue swoop said.

"They just are the worst sometimes."

"They're not that bad, Y/n." He said.

"I wish I had relationship with my brother like ours. I mean you're my bestfriend! You get me more than those idiots."

"They're doing their best,Y/n. Just appreciate it. I never had a sibling before but I consider you as somewhat my annoying little sister." He laughs.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

I shook my head and looked at him.

"This is going to sound weird but did you go to Phoenix Drop High?" I asked.

He laughs and I tilt my head in confusion.

"Yes I did, Y/n. Don't you recognize your bestfriend?" He said with a playful smirk on his face.

"It's me Ein. Your potion buddy and pretend big brother. Have you really forgotten me, pup? " He said laughing again.

"Pup?"

My brows furrowed at the nickname.

"Darling, don't you remember? I called you pup because you kept following me around like a lost puppy in your first year trying to find the rest of your classes." He asked.

I looked at him and looked down. I think he noticed and gasped.

"Did something happen,Y/n? Is calling you pup uncomfortable?? It's been years... You couldn't have lost a memory about me right?" Ein asked.

I sadly looked at him and he took a step back at the realization.

"Pup, what happened?" Ein asked.

"Well..an explosion happened and then coma and here I am with missing memories."

His eyes widened.

"I moved out of Phoenix Drop for a few years and this happens? You're okay now, right?" He asked worriedly.

I smiled at his worry and nodded.

"I'm alive, aren't I?" I said gesturing to myself.

He laughs and I look at him feeling a bit comfortable.

"You always were the joker,pup." He said wiping a tear from his eye.

"Was I really?"

"Oh you were." He said placing his hands in his pockets with bright smile on his face.

I stared at him for a bit and he shifted his gaze. He looked at me apologetically which made me confused.

"I'm sorry for everything you went through. You wouldn't have been in this in the first place and forgets bout me." He said, looking down.

"Pfft- I'm fine. It's like being reborn actually. I get to have do over." I said positively.

He looks up and smiles.

"Oh of course. I just wished you never forgot about me." He said looking at me sympathetically.

I tilt my head and raised my left brow.

"I remember you now, don't I?" I said.

His eyes lit up and he laughed.

"Oh pup, you lost a lot." He said.

I looked at him with a questioning look and he scratched the back of his neck and somehow nervously laughed.

"I mean, you lost a lot of your memories. Anyways, I have to go. I'll see you around, pup!" He said running to a direction.

I was about to say something but he already disappeared when I turned around. I huffed out and decided to walk back home. Everything around me seemed more vibrant. I smiled at having at life.

When, I got home, I saw my brothers happily talking in the kitchen. They were eating cookies and Zane and Vylad were talking easily. I stepped into the kitchen and they noticed me.

"Welcome back, (nickname)." Vylad said happily.

"Y/n!"

Garroth quickly hugs me. He then parts from the hug and stares down at me sweetly.

"How was your walk around the neighborhood?" He asked motioning me to sit with him on the island table with the rest of my brothers.

I sat down next to him and faced Zane and Vylad, opposite of where I was.

"Well, I met everyone in Mystreet, had an encounter with Travis, Dante and Laurence and met an old friend from Phoenix Drop High."

~3rd Person POV~

Everyone was now interested at what Y/n had to say.

"So how was it?" Zane asked muching on a cookie and pushing the plate of cookies toward Y/n.

"It was good. Travis protecting me was a weird one since he's always been the type to flirt." Y/n said, grabbing a cookie from the plate.

"Thank you." She said to Zane.

Zane nodded.

"Travis being a gentleman? That's new for him. Do tell." Zane said.

"Oh it was like Laurence flirting with me as they were jogging and it got awkward. Then, Travis pointed it out and Laurence pointed out that Travis was like the usual one to flirt and Travis said he doesn't make any girl feel THAT uncomfortable and then Laurence apologized." Y/n said.

Vylad was pouring a glass of juice for Y/n as Zane attentively listens.

"So where was Dante in all of this?" Garroth asks.

"He was laughing his butt off."

That made the trio laugh. Y/n watched as they laughed and smiled at it.

"Typical Dante." Vylad said handing the glass of juice towards Y/n.

"So, who was the old friend you met?" Zane asked before drinking the juice.

"I think his name was Ian?Eatin?" Y/n said muching on the cookie.

Zane and Garroth's eyes widened at the name. Vylad knew a few details of what happened and was surprised as well.

"E-Ein?"
