My shift is over and I would never leave a mess.” She turns without another word, heading down the hallway toward her office. Goddess, I don’t get why she is such a b**ch. “I do she wants our mate” Zora says with a growl.
I grab my things and head out front to meet Emmett. He has a huge smile on his face. I can’t help but smile back at him. “I guess you had a good first day at the new job.” I’m startled when he pulls me in for a hug.
“You could say that” he says when he finally releases me. “You ready to go. I have a surprise for you” he says. “What kind of surprise?” “A good one, now let’s go” he says leading me out of the shop.
I slide into the passenger seat of the car. As I buckle my seat belt I notice movement in the review mirror. I almost scream until I realize its’ Stacey. “Hi Rose, didn’t mean to scare you” she says. Emmett slides in next to me and I look between them.
I’m not sure what the hell is happening but I don’t want to be rude. Emmett shifts the car into gear and pulls out into traffic.
As he moves away from town, I realize we are traveling in the direction of Beck’s house. My heart starts to pound against my chest. I glimpse the mirror and my eyes meet Stacey’s. I see a silent plea in her eyes but I’m not sure exactly what she is asking of me. “Emmett, I’m not trying to ruin your plans.”
Before I can ask him to take me home, he pulls off to the side of the road.
He turns in his seat to face me. “Rose, I found my mate.” That was the last thing I expected for him to say. I look between the two of them as he reaches his hand back and takes Stacey’s. “Oh, my goddess, you’re mates.
Is this the surprise because that’s amazing.”
“Believe me, I’m not happy he hurt you. I almost beat the sh*t out of him for it. Now, I would never tell him what happened with Reese but I think you owe it to yourself to hear his story. I think it will help you understand his reaction wasn’t about you. In case you didn’t know sis men aren’t exactly the smartest of our species.
I could tell when I talked to him, he regrets hurting you. I won’t force you to talk to him Rose. So, you get to decide whether we turn around and go home or if we keep driving. So, what’s it going to be?”
I rush through the pack house, and follow Bryce’s scent to the large living room that is just off the foyer. My body stiffens when I hear Bryce spewing nothing, but hatred for my mate. “My sister is too weak to be the Luna of this pack. She isn’t worthy of being with our future Alpha. I’m glad she’s gone.
She is nothing but a wh*re,” he says slurring his words.
I can’t imagine how much he must have consumed to be this intoxicated. A small group has gathered to listen to his bullsh*t. I notice several she-wolves who look thrilled to hear the Rose is gone. I wouldn’t touch one of them so they can wipe the smug looks right off their faces. In fact, I’ll never touch another person that isn’t my mate again.
“If only you had listened to that advice before you f**ked everything up,” Fallon says and blocks me.
I stalk forward until I’m standing right in front of him as the rage at his words start to boil over. Fallon is clawing to take control after hearing him call Rose a wh*re but I’m able to maintain control. He lifts his gaze and the eyes I once loved to look into make me feel nothing. “If I ever hear you speak in such away about my Luna again, I will strip you of your title. Do I make myself clear, Beta?”
“Of course, Alpha, crystal,” he says. “What the f**k is wrong with you Bryce? You’ve turned into such a pr*ck. You are so jealous that your sister found her mate before you. After the way you’ve treated Rose, you don’t deserve to find your mate at all,” Addie screams at him from behind me.
Bryce’s eyes darken before a sinister smile spreads across his face. “Oh Addie, I’m not jealous of my b**ch of a sister. I have everything that was meant to be hers” he says.
Before he can say anymore, I haul back and punch him square in the face. He stumbles back falling on his ass. Blood pours from his nose. I turn and growl at everyone in the room. “Get out” I say using my Alpha command.
Everyone scatters until only Addie and Logan are left. I turn back to Bryce who is holding his nose and glaring at me. “In my office, now.” He gets to his feet and moves around me. When he passes Addie and Logan she growls at him.
Her eyes meet mine and I can see disappointment. “I would like you and Logan to come to my office too.” Once we are all in my office Addie turns to me. I notice that Bryce is across the room glaring at Logan. “Reese, tell me what the hell is going on?”
“I wasn’t exactly honest with you earlier. I hurt Rose. That’s why she left the pack.”
She raises her hand and I make no attempt to stop her. My cheek stings from the slap. “How could you betray Rose? Which one of the disgusting women in this pack was worth losing your fated mate for? Was getting your dick wet worth that” she screams at me and I flinch.
Bryce growls and takes a step toward Addie. Logan immediately steps in front of her. “Back off Bryce. This is between Reese and Addie” Logan says. “F**k you, Logan.
I don’t even know why your here. You are not even part of this” Bryce says.
“Yes, he is. So, sit the f**k down until I get this out.” I’m glad when he listens and I look back at Addie. “Addie, I’ve never slept with a she-wolf in our pack or otherwise.” She looks at me clearly confused.
“I really intended to save all my first for my mate, Addie.” Realization flashes in her eyes and she looks between me and Bryce. “How could you? How could you with her brother after you found out you two were mates?”
She whirls on Bryce but before she can get close Logan wraps his arm around her waist. “You f**king disgusting pr*ck. You f**ked your sister’s mate after they found each other and then treated her like sh*t.” She turns back to me. “You need to tell mom and dad what you’ve done” she says and Bryce laughs.
