I watch as Alex questions the rogue that attacked me, and then I watch as he snaps his neck. He shows no hesitation in his decision. That is until he looks at me. I see the look of shame, but I don't want him to regret it. They all three were willing to kill without even questioning why. I don't wait for him to second guess his choice more. I walk up and wrap my hands around his neck, thankful that he is ok. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me to him.
"I think we need to get going. Where is your stuff?" He asks as I pull away." "It is over by the back of the building. I only got one bag ready and changed my clothes before we left the house." "Is there anything else you need?" "No, I got everything important. Juliana can look through the other stuff if she wants." I turn to look at her, but she looks to Shawn. "I don't know how long we are going to be able to stick around here. If Chris knows thAlexander I was not expecting that question, and I am not sure I want to answer it. But I also know that trust is easy to break but hard to regain once broken."I never had a girlfriend, but I have had partners." I really hope she knows what I mean when I say it that way, and I don't have to elaborate."I see," She doesn't say anything else. She keeps staring out the window. I try to think of a question quickly to change the subject."What is your favorite color?" I know it is probably a stupid question, but it was the first one that popped up in my head."Green.""I like green, but black and pink are so cute together," Travis says, catching us both off guard, but we all laugh. My phone started to ring, and it connected to the truck, so I answered."Hello?" I say unsure who is calling."You want to explain why you, your brother, and my pack member have left." Its Chris and I
Alex goes into the bathroom, and I am embarrassed for thinking he meant for us to shower together. He wouldn't offer something like that already. I mean, he even asked for permission to hug me. I set my bag inside the closet on the empty side. The closet is huge. I could fit a bed in it. The bedroom is enormous too. I can only imagine how big the bathroom is. I really do need a shower, but I didn't want to take over his bathroom when he is used to not sharing with anyone. He also drove the whole trip, so I am sure that he is tired and ready to get some sleep. I walked over to the nightstand and looked for the remote he talked about. I pick it up then I notice I don't see a television anywhere in the room. I look around again, wondering if I missed it. Still, I see nothing. I look for the on switch on the remote and push it. Maybe if it cuts on, I will know where it is.A wall starts to part, and my mouth drops open. The entire wall opens, and a colossal television i
I lay on the bed on the other side of him. I am nervous. I have never slept in the same bed with anyone before."I hope you rest well." He says as I am staring at the ceiling."I hope you do too. I know it was a long drive." He pulls the top blanket up over his body. It is thin and feels good against my skin, so I pull it up over me and try to close my eyes. It doesn't take as long as I would have thought before I drift off to sleep. I know he is as well because I can hear the shallow beats of his heart, and his breathing evens out. It is almost like a lullaby putting me to sleep. I am woke by the feel of sparks on my cheek and my name being called softly. My eyes flutter open to see Alex squatting next to the bed, stroking my face to wake me."Did you sleep well?" He asks, giving me that smile. It takes me a minute to process what is happening."Umm yeah, what time is it?""It's
Alexander, What is he doing? I thought to myself as I started toward where Ivy was standing. Before I could get to the table and ask, I heard him ask for her name and if he could call her sweetie. Then he has the nerve to wink at her. The growl leaves my throat before I can even register that it is happening."Don't even think about it, Nathan," I say as I set the desserts on the table."What did I do?" He says, smiling as big as he can and leaning back in his chair."I would like to introduce you to Ivy. My mate and your future, Luna." I tell him with a bite at the end. I know how he is. He is my best friend, after all. But, unfortunately, he likes the ladies a little too much, so I need him to know she is mine. I hate it for him when he finds his mate."Well, I was not expecting that. Nice to meet you. I am Nathan. Gamma to the amazing Alex and his best friend." He tells her, sticking his hand out to
It feels like everything around me stopped. All I can see is his face. The face I have not seen in fourteen years. It is older, and there is a scar that I don't remember him having above his eye. There is no doubt in my mind that it is him. It is my brother. It is Jax. What is he doing here? How did he get here? I start seeing spots, and I blink to clear them. It does no good, and everything goes black. I can hear my name, and arms wrap around me before the darkness takes me.I awake and blink. It must have been a dream. I feel my bed underneath me, and it is comfortable. I roll to my side and see Alex sitting in a chair with his head in his hands."Hey," I say lightly, not wanting to scare him. His head flies up, and his eyes lock with mine."Oh, Thank you, Goddess." He says, dropping to his knees and taking my hand. "Are you ok? What happened?" He asked me, and that's when it hit me that it was no dream. We were really at the foun
I am not sure what to say to him. Part of me wants to tell him the truth, but I also know that I need to think about him and what he has been through."You look like someone I used to know," I tell him looking down at the floor."Was his name Jax?""Yes, I am sorry if I hurt you by calling you Jax.""No need to apologize. You look familiar. Have we met before?" I want to scream yes, and you are my brother. But I hold it together and hope he doesn't see the storm inside me."I am not sure. I guess it is possible. Have you lived in this pack your whole life?" I know I already know the answer, but I hope he will open up and tell me."For as long as I can remember," he says, running his hand over his head. I figure I am going to have to keep the conversation going myself."I was born in a pack in Wyoming, but I ended up at the Fullmoon Pack when I was young.""And now sh
ChampI knew when I laid eyes on her that I knew her, but I didn't know-how. Then she passed out, and my wolf Max went on alert. He wanted to protect her. I convinced him that no one could shield her better than our Alpha. So when Alexander asked me to come to his house for a visit, I was shocked and surprised. I have hung out with Alexander at some of the pack gatherings but not at his home. With his mate now here, our Luna, I would think that he would want to be alone with her. But who am I to question what he wants. So I head to his house, and Max is getting more anxious. He is pacing back and forth in my head."Hey, what's wrong with you?" I ask Max, hoping it will calm him down."I don't know." He responds and then continues to pace. I don't say anything else as I am almost at the Alpha's door.I knock softly when I reach the door cause I know they will hear it. It doesn't take long for the door to open, and Alex
I have my shower done, and I can't help but pace the room. Alex is in the shower now, and the thought of him in the next room with no clothes on and water running down his body should have my mind running amuck. But instead, I am pacing this floor, worried about what Juliana and Shawn overheard. I know it can't be good. Finally, I hear the water turn off, trying to slow my pacing. I don't want Alex to know I am this stressed out. I have not even shared everything about myself with him. I know deep inside that I can trust him. We have not had time to get to everything."I could hear your heartbeat in the bathroom. Are you ok?" Alex says as he steps out of the bathroom. I turn to look at him, and my mouth goes dry. He still has water droplets running down his chest to his abs, and the steam is rolling out of the bathroom behind him. He looks stunning standing there."You keep looking at me like that, and I can not promise to be a good boy." He s
