Chapter 0025 Emilys pov I gasp , my hands quickly tangling in his brown hair and gripped it tightly . I Shawn what the hell ?! I snapped . Im on his shoulders , forcefully so . Im just trying to help shorty . He snorts , gripping my thighs and heads over to the tree where Im supposed to put those fairy lights on . Tonight was the alphas ceremony and also Brysons birthday . As soon as the clock strikes 12:00 and Bryson turns eighteen tonight , he will be passed down the title . Tonight was a big deal . Especially for the pack . Luna Lera is going a bit overboard with the decorations . Shawn snorted as he nudges his head to the chocolate fountain in the middle of the yard . I know Alpha Brent mustve been annoyed when she suggested to include that chocolate fountain . I snorted . Who wouldnt be ? Its an alphas ceremony , theres no need for a chocolate fountain in the middle of the yard . Shawn replied with a chuckle . Its not like hed tell her that though . Hes so different when shes around . I smiled . Alpha Brent who was known to be very strict was the complete opposite when his mate was around . The big bad Alpha turns into a sap . $ wn makes a fake gagging sound . And thats why ladies and gentlemen I dont want to find my mate anytime soon . They turn you into a whimp . I laughed knowing he wasnt serious . Out of the four of us , Shawn was the one who was most excited to find his mate . Which hell hopefully find out in a few weeks . Hey you two . Youre here early . Need help ? A voice shouts a couple yards away from us . We look over to see that it was Maya . Shawn groans . I never understood why he hated Maya so much . Kill me now . Shawn grunts . Maya who obviously heard him given her advanced hearing yelled . Shut up Shawn ! To defuse the tension I answered her . Yes , we need some help with the lights . Theres a string of them over there , I pointed at the table where I set them . She nods and grinned . When shes making her way over to us and Im putting up the lights with the help of Shawn , something shifts in the bushes . We all froze until we sensed the unmistakable powerful aura of an Alpha . Brysons figure is seen approaching and when he shifts out of the bushes , I sucked in a sharp breath . 1/4 Chapter 0021 I havent really been in his presence since that day in the library . I made sure to avoid him like the plague . Today is the ceremony , and as I had promised him , I would be there . I watch him fixedly as he strode over . He has no shirt on , putting his toned six pack on display . His muscles are ripped , tempting me to run my hands down those muscular plane . Those khaki shorts he had on hang low . I tighten my thighs and Shawn coughs , I loosen them quickly , my face burning up as I try to stop from looking at my best friend in any other way than friendly . Went for a rum ? Shawn asked him when hes nearing . We can only be seen together like this , when others were around . I looked at him intently and noticed that his face was tight with irritation , his jaw clenching as he stared at Shawns hands on my thighs . Nervous about tonight ? I asked him , noticing how tense his body was . He was just a few hours of being eighteen . A few hours to being our alpha . Of course he was nervous . Brysons eyes tore away from Shawns hands on my thighs to my face . I sucked in my breath when theres a flash of emotion in them . Theyre so strong that they manage to make me shiver . Yes , I went for a run to calm down a bit . He admitted hoarsely while staring at me intensely . Its been a few days since weve been so near . It feels so good to have him so close . Why are you holding her up ? He directed this question to Shawn , his brows knotting in a frown . Helping her reach the nails on the tree . You know how short Em is . Shawn snorted in amusement . I look down at him , my brows knotting as I glared slightly . Im not that short . I defended . z Sure you arent , Shawn snorted and suddenly theres low growl coming from Bryson , I snapped my eyes quickly towards him , my brows lining into a frown of confusion . Hes glaring at Shawn and Im stunned to see the amount of anger swirling in his eyes . Whats with him ? Sensing my stare , Bryson clears his throat and rip his gaze away from Shawn to look up at me . My wolfs been acting up lately . My dad said its normal . I nodded , still unsure if I should believe his words . He had after all , glared at his best friend so harshly that Im surprised Shawn hadnt dropped dead . Maya joins us a second later , her voice chirpy as she walks up to Bryson and stops beside him . Way too close to my liking but I bit my lip and force my sour jealous feelings aside . You need to stop being so jealous when other females are close to him Em . Especially tonight . You will have no other choice but to forcefully bury those feelings youve had for him for years . Chapter 105 Went for a run alpha ? Maya joked , her eyes shining playfully . Bryson nods . I need help with getting those fairy lights way up there . Mind lifting me on your shoulders ? Maya asked innocently , a Shawn suddenly groans , his knees buckling a bit . You know what ? He grunts . I think Bryson should be the one to hold Em . Shes way too heavy for me . Did he just call me fat ? Maya puffs . Dont be ridiculous Shawn , Emilys tiny she doesnt weigh much . Shawn ignored her and set me on my feet safely . Im not fat Shawn , I barked . My wolf may not be present right now but I can sure kick him where the sun doesnt shine . He raised a brow . I never said you were . But Im bigger than her- Maya started but Shawn cuts her off . Maya just shut up and let me help you up on my shoulders . He snapped in irritation . Suddenly theres a hand wrapping around my arm , tugging me away from the two bickering wolves . I turn to face Bryson , a bit stunned to feel his touch hotter than usual . Theres a sudden heat brushing on my skin where he touched . Scared of me ? Bryson jokes . I snorted . Me ? Never ? His lips curve into a small smirk . In a swift move Bryson had me on his shoulders , my thighs wrapping around his neck , my hand in his curly brown hair . Im marveling at how soft it felt when I feel his hands grip my thighs to hold me steady . I want to moan . The feeling of his hands on my skin feels better than usual , They always felt so good when they touched my skin but now … I couldnt explain it . But it felt out of this world .
