Chapter 0013 Hey Em , Bryson whispered , pulling me out of my thoughts . Yeah ? 1 murmured . His eyes fluttered down , gazing at my lips . What would you think of me if I reject my fated one for the one who had my heart for years ? His question made my brain freeze. Where did this even come from ? An alpha rejecting his fated mate never ends up well . They were fated for a reason and rejecting their luna in more than one cases causes the pack to lose their strength . I swallowed . He had placed me in a difficult spot . How can answer something such as this ? I swallowed again , trying to remove the lump in my throat Bryson keeps surprising me a lot today . I darted my eyes between both of his , trying to see if he was joking or not . He was serious . Then I would think of you as an idiot . A very big one . Youre not only supposed to only think about yourself Bryce , youre also supposed to think about the pack . Youre an alpha . You need your destined mate to be stronger . I uttered feeling shitty for basically telling him screw the girl hes in love with . The light in his eyes dimmed and I instantly feel bad . His jaw clenched and he peeled his eyes away from me . I miss those green swirls . What if I want to be selfish for once Em ? He gritted and started the car . My eyes narrowed on his face . He was upset . Extremely . Youre really in love with her huh ? I whispered and cursed myself when my voice cracked with emotion . Bryson hands gripped around the wheel tighter as he answers . For years . My heart feels like it was tearing apart . It hurts . It feels like Im drowning yet , feels like someone is continuously stabbing the beating organ with a silver blade . I let out a shaky breath and took a sharp one into my lungs . Now Im curious to know the girl who has my best friend in the palm of her hands . I joked even though Im literally breaking inside . Im curious to know the girl , yet dont want to know her . Its a constant tug between want and dont . Bryson spares me a glance , its deep and had me sucking in another sharp breath . Shes the most beautiful girl Ive ever seen . Someone who takes my breath away . Someone I longed for , for years . He admitted and placed his eyes back onto the road . I move my eyes off him , blinking quickly so that I would not cry right now . Youre not going to tell me who she is are you ? I whispered even though I knew the answer . No , 1/2 Chapter 0013 +26 BONUS Thanks for the ride Bryce . I said and unbuckled myself a got out . m Can I spend a few more hours with woul Bryson gets out too , and I shifted my confused gaze to him Not today Bryson . Your dad informed me of whats going on . It would be best if you get back to the packhouse and keep your distance from Em , at specific times , like right now . Alpha Brent said you two should not be seen alone but can be accompanied by others . Moin suddenly sad as she stepped out of the front door . And Im off for a late shift at the hospital and Emilys dad would not be home until another hour . She continued , I looked at her horrified and looked over at Bryson whose mouth tightened in displeasure . But he nod stiffly and looked down at me . I guess Ill see you tomorrow Em . He gritted out in annoyance . He then gets into his car and drives off . I look over at mom who looks torn . She stares at me in pity . This will pass . As soon as he gets his mate , youll be able to be with him alone freely . There would be no reason to be cautious around him anymore . I doubted it .
