Chapter co Chapter 0004 Emilys pov I sat down on one of the chairs around the lunch table and dog into my burger . I was hungry and moaned aloud . Dont make that sound again Em , Bryson grunted a bit when he sat down on one of the chairs beside mine . I furrow my brows and turn to him . His eyes fall to my lips and they darken . Im stummed by how dark theyve become . You have something on the corner of your … He trails off and before I can wipe whatever was on my lips , Bryson reached out and brushed his finger on the corner of my mouth . My eyes fall to his finger and I feel the heat crawl up my neck and settle in my cheeks when I noticed that the tip of his finger was painted with mayo . With a smirk , Bryson lifted his finger and pushed it in his mouth and , sucked . He moaned . And my heart leaped . When he was done , he grinned at me and teased ! Youre such a messy eater . This time the heat took over my entire face . I was certain I looked so red that everyone could spot me from afar . Bryson chuckled and was about to say something when someone else plopped down on the chair mirroring mine . What are you two talking about ? Shawn , Brysons best friend and also a close friend of mine asked as he dug into his fries . His eyes gleamed with amusement as they darted between Bryson and I. He arrowed a fry our way . Let me guess . You two are flirting like usual . If it were even possible my face turned even redder . We were not flir ting . I splattered out . Shawn busted out laughing at my expense and from the comer of my eye I can see Bryson staring at me with a huge grin on his face .. Great my friends thought I was a laughing stock . Did you see how red she got man ?! Em is literally the color of a firetruck . Shawn snorted playfully . I glared at both him and Bryson whose grin widened as he agreed . Makes me wonder where else that blush go . Theres a heavy tone in Brysons voice that had a slick electrical feeling zapping down my spine . Keep the flirting away from me before I barf . Shawn jokes and had me shyly moving my eyes away from both his and Brysons . Whos flirting ? Mayas voice flutters near . I turn around to see one of her arms slung over Brysons shoulder as she held him close . Everyone knew that if anyone had to be Brysons fated mate , then it would be Maya . Not only was she of higher rank but she was beautiful and walked with grace . Bryson deserved a mate as strong as him . And that mate couldnt be me , because I was weak . An omega and not as pretty as Maya . Chapter Ide +25 BONUS Swimming with jealousy , I tore my eyes away from the two Shawn who didnt always see eye to eye with Maya , responded sarcastically . Bryson and Emily . Who else ? Do you see any other couple around Maya ? I shyly peeked at Bryson when Shawn mentioned that we were a couple . He didnt look like he hated it , in fact , Bryson had a charming grin on his face . Maya removed her arm off Brysons shoulders and glared at Shawn . Would it kill you to be nice to me for once dick ? And , besides , Bryson and Em arent a couple . Brysons going to find his mate soon so you should be careful with your words . His mate might be someone in this room , you never know . She huffed and went to sit down on the chair beside Shawn who scooted away from her a little . I looked over at Bryson . That grin on his face is gone and is replaced by a frown . What does finding his mate have to do with this now ? Theres no harm in the two flirting . Shawn grumbles and glared at Maya . Im just saying that if his mate is in the room she might get the wrong idea . It could be anyone , well except for Emily herself . Shes an omega so her being Brysons mate isnt believable . Maya said with a shrug . There was a bitter feeling in my chest when she said those words . And even though they were absolutely true , it didnt make it hurt any less . Suddenly a chair scraps backward and I snap my gaze to Bryson who stands up and storms away , leaving the three of us stunned by his sudden departure . Whats wrong with him ? Maya asked in confusion as she stared at a storming away Bryson who managed to capture everyones attention . Gee I wonder who upset him , Shawn said sarcastically . I rise to my feet , concerned about his obvious angry mood . Ill go check up on him , I said . No , Ill go , Maya said and rose to her feet . Shawn is quick to wrap his hand around her wrist and stops her . No , Emily should go . Its obvious you upset him with your words Maya . I dont think you going to him is a good idea . Let Emily handle it . He grumbles tightly . Maya frowns but nods and sat back down . Shawn nods his head , urging me to go ahead . I quickly leave the cafeteria my eyes scanning around the area . Where could you be Bryce … I opened the locker room and sure enough , there was the sound of a fist hitting metal , I rush over to his side , shocked to see him this angry . Hes breathing roughly and his canines are out . And when he looked at me , I stare into angry red eyes . Hes shifting and hes trying to fight it . Bryce , I said softly as I took a cautious step forward . Bryce was an alpha , a future alpha and they tend to not be able to control their emotions when the day to take over the pack is approaching .
