Addie nods and grabs my arm, pulling me to the dance floor. “I told you that you were going to be in trouble.” “I can handle the lecture and grounding. It was worth it for this dress” she says, and we both laugh. “What’s so funny little miss?”
I turn to answer Bryce and come face to face with Reese. I swear his eyes darken, but I must be imagining things.
“Addie is in trouble with the Luna.” “I guess nothing has changed since I’ve been gone, huh, Addie,” Reese says. “Shut up Reese. Now we would like to dance, and no boys are going to ask us when our brothers are hanging around,” she says. Reese growls low and Bryce’s head snaps toward him.
“She’s right Reese. Let’s go, so the girls can have fun, but not too much fun,” he says with a chuckle. He pulls me in for a hug before they head toward our parents.
After a few minutes of dancing, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn and find Logan smiling at me. He is our age and in most of my classes. “Happy Birthday, Rosalyn.” “Thank you, Logan.”
“I was wondering if you would like to dance” he asks. I realize that the music has changed to a slow song. “Sure, she would love to dance with you Logan,” Addie says before I can politely say no.
Now she isn’t just in trouble with her mother. She knows that I can’t be rude. She also knows I don’t want to lead him to believe he has a shot. I make a note to kill her later. “I would love to, Logan.”
He steps closer to me, placing his hands on my hips. I’m just about to wrap my arms around his neck when a loud growl comes from behind me. I turn and Reese’s eyes are as black as night. He is stalking toward me and he looks pissed. What the hell did I do?
“Get the hell away from my mate Logan” he growls. I’m frozen in place. I’m Reese’s mate. Addie squeals and Reese pulls me into his arms. I can’t scent him because I don’t have my wolf, but light tingles dance on my skin from his touch.
This is amazing. Reese is my mate. He buries his face in my neck, breathing in my scent. My heart is beating against my chest. I’m going to be able to stay in my own pack and be mated to the boy I’m in love with.
Six Months Later
Rosalyn POV
As we make our way to the training field, Addison is talking animatedly about the movie she saw yesterday with Logan. I was worried when they first started doing things together, since they will both have mates. Then she told me that Logan would be more interested in Reese than he was in her. “The movie was amazing. If you could have torn yourself away from my brother for longer than thirty minutes, you’d know exactly how awesome it was,” she says.
“Addie, we just went shopping two days ago. Besides, you know that Reese is not the biggest fan of Logan.” “I know I just don’t understand why. Logan is super nice” she says. “I agree, but I don’t want to make Reese uncomfortable.”
“Yes, goddess forbid my brother be uncomfortable,” she says sarcastically.
When we reach the training field, the elite warriors are just finishing up. Reese is leading the training, and I’m not ashamed to say I ogle his naked torso. “Could you drool less over my brother? I’m going to puke,” Addie says, and I laugh. Reese dismisses the warriors and heads straight toward me.
“Hey, how’s my girl?” “Enjoying the view,” I say, and Addie groans.
“Seriously, I’m glad your mates because that makes Rosie my sister, but you two are disgusting. I’m going to find Logan my new best friend” she says, and I pretend to be wounded. “So, what do you want to do tonight?” “He won’t be doing anything with you tonight, Rosalyn. You know he has actual duties to attend to,” Bryce snaps at me.
This is the new Bryce. I’m not sure what the hell his problem is, but he acts like he hates me.
It breaks my heart, but he won’t even talk to me to tell me what’s wrong. Reese growls and Bryce immediately bears his neck. “You will not speak to your sister, my mate, and the future Luna of this pack that way again. Are we clear Bryce?” “I’m sorry Reese.”
He turns to me, but his eyes hold no remorse. “I’m sorry Rosalyn. I just meant that we are going to be on patrol later.” “It’s fine Bryce. I’m sure I can find something to do.”
I turn to walk away and Reese grabs my hand. “I don’t have to go on patrol for a few hours. Let’s go back to my room. I’ll shower, and then we can watch a movie.” I smile, and he leads me back toward the pack house.
“I’m sorry about Bryce. He is just stressed because he hasn’t met his mate yet.” “Reese, I feel like it’s more than that. He has always been the best brother. He protected me, and now he hates me,” I say.
Despite my best efforts, I can’t stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. Reese stops walking and turns me to face him. “He doesn’t hate you, Rosalyn. You are his sister and he loves you. I’ll talk to him” he says, pulling me into his arms.
“I don’t ever want to see you cry, Rosalyn. It kills me to see you upset.” I pull back, and he bends down, pressing his lips against mine. I will never get tired of feeling his lips against mine.
Being with Reese has been amazing, but we haven’t gone past some making out. He insists on waiting until we can mark each other. Goddess, I love him. We make it back to his room in record time and after a few more heated kisses, he grabs clothes, heading into the bathroom. I slip off my shoes and grab the tv remote, getting ready to climb onto his bed.
Knocking on his bedroom door startles me.
I debate whether to answer it or not when I hear Bryce say my name like a curse from the other side of the door. I pull the door open, and he scowls at me. “What are you doing here Bryce? Reese said he doesn’t have patrol for a few hours.” “I’m protecting you from acting like a b**ch in heat.
