The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1118: In another life (5)

Ethan was studying hard for the university entrance exam he was interested in, as he wanted to be a programmer which was quite surprising for both their parents, because no one had chosen that major before.

Nonetheless, his family supported him.

While Ian, on the other hand, did not have such enthusiasm to continue his studies to a higher level and simply gave up, instead of having to face difficulties which he thought were not worth it at all.

However, Ian started getting increasingly bored because Ethan was constantly languishing in his room and kept struggling with his books.

"You have to get out of your room every now and then," Ian groaned desperately, seeing Ethan immersed in the thick books in front of his face.

"Shut up," Ethan grumbled. "Get out of my room," he said irritably.

"You should get out of this room." Ian then got out of bed and grabbed the thick book Ethan was reading, and before his twin could protest, he added, "You know, resting is also necessary for you, if you push yourself too hard, then there will not be any information you can remember from reading this."

"No! Get out of my room," Ethan shouted, struggling against Ian who was trying to drag him out of the room.

And for a moment, a fight broke out between the twins until their mother shouted from downstairs for the two of them to stop and not make a fuss.

Well, in an instant they became quiet. Neither of them wanted to see the fury of a female werewolf.

================

Ian finally managed to drag Ethan out of his 'study cave' and took his twin brother to one of their friends' house, who said his female cousin was visiting from another pack under Alpha Torak's territory.

Furious and unable to resist Ian's desire to separate him from the textbooks, Ethan followed his twin brother to Billy's house.

Ethan still wasn't done with his grunts, especially when he got a feeling that something was off about him by the moment they approached the house. There was something that made the beast inside him feel restless. Pacing around impatiently.

It's just that Ethan didn't understand what's really going on.

"Billy said his cousin is very beautiful, at least we can't miss this," Ian looked very enthusiastic to see Billy's beautiful cousin.

But, Ethan wasn't interested at all, he seemed to be breathing heavily, because of the discomfort that made his chest feel a little tight.

Then, the first thing Ethan noticed was the scent, a calming scent that could make the beast inside him suddenly turn very enthusiastic and stop being agitated.

However, the sudden emotions were too confusing for Ethan, so he couldn't grasp what was really going on quickly and made him feel lost for a moment.

"Hey, are you all right?" Ian tugged at Ethan's shoulder, as his twin kept shaking his head strangely. "What happened? Do you have a headache?"

It's rare for shifters to get sick, but it's not impossible, thus if they did, then the odd situation should be taken seriously.

However, what Ethan felt right now, wasn't some kind of pain, even though his heart was beating really fast and his head felt like it was spinning.

Because now he knew what was the source of these weird and foreign emotions.

The cause was a girl, who was standing right at the top of the stairs, with a slightly lowered head, looking at him intently.

Their gazes met and then, everything started to make sense, as the shifter's most sacred word left the lips of the two.

"Mate..."

Ethan and the girl whispered almost at the same time and gasped at the sudden realization.

The cute girl with black curly hair that reached to her waist, covered her mouth with a stunned look directed at the man at the bottom of the stairs.

Meanwhile, Ian who heard and witnessed all this fell silent instantly. He was pleasantly 'shocked.' Ethan has a mate now? Was that true?

But, seeing how the two looked at each other, made Ian believe what was going on was true.

"Hey, can you two stop staring at each other like that? How about giving each other a hug? Or a kiss?" Ian said in a low voice, hoping to burst the bubble of surprise between the two who had just met.

However, the goodwill to remind them, became a boomerang on Ian, and he got the most cynical stare he had ever gotten from Ethan.

Sob sob... his brother even became very mean to him right after getting a mate...

================

It had been two months since Ethan met Ella, who was Billy's cousin and his mate. It was an extraordinary coincidence and Ian should have gotten a medal for bringing them together by forcing Ethan out of his hermitage cave behind a pile of books.

Ian should have gotten a reward for what he had done, but Ethan was actually super busy with his studies and Ella even more, so he didn't have time for Ian.

Like this afternoon, Ella came to visit their house with a homemade sponge cake, of course the girl was warmly welcomed by all family members, and after that she immediately went to meet Ethan in his room.

Ian could only complain and grunt because he hadn't found a life partner of his own and was starting to look uninspired, and cursed more often, which made Rossie feel annoyed. She directly threw him out of her room because Ian kept complaining.

"If you have so much time, why don't you just help me?" Rossie grumbled. "Get my scissors in Ethan's room, he borrowed them yesterday and they haven't been returned."

Inevitably, Ian complied with his dear sister's orders and walked languidly to Ethan's room.

It was Ian's habit to go straight into his twin's room and open it without knocking on the door first.

But, this time he finally learnt that he had to change this habit.

As soon as Ian saw what was going on in there, he automatically closed the door, followed by an angry growl from Ethan; "GET OUT!"

"I… I was looking for scissors!" Ian stammered.

And to be sure, what Ian saw was not what he was looking for…
