Chapter 0005 Emilys pov His words stunned me and my heart leaped . Did he have someone in mind he wanted as his mate ? It sure sounded as though he had someone he liked . My heart throbbed . I know I shouldnt feel this way , Bryson after all would obviously be attracted to girls … A big part of me wanted him to be attracted to me but that was just wishful thinking . Bryson was way out of my league , in looks and ranking . Its actually laughable that I was so deeply in love with an alpha male who would never be mated to an omega like me . Bryson sighs and takes a hand through his hair . The closer my birthday comes the more agitated I get . Im fearful of who Ill end up with knowing that the one I really want might not- He groans and shakes his head . His eyes lift to mine and they connected . It feels like electricity is zapping around us as he holds me in an intense stare . In a few months , youll be turning eighteen to Em . Arent you afraid of who youll end up with ? He asked , staring at me deeply . I tore my eyes away from him . Ive thought about who the moon goddess mustve chosen for me and my mind always wraps back to maybe an omega or low ranked male . Omegas have never been mated to any higher ranked wolves , its not like Id magically be mated to one now . Ive thought about it a lot actually . And yes Im terrified of that day . I admitted . Im terrified that we wont have the same bond we have now . Your main focus will be on your Luna and Ill be stuck with someone I have to force to fall in love with even though my heart belongs to you . But instead of saying the truth , I sent him a shaky smile . But I figured the moon goddess wont fate me to a higher ranked wolf so I suppose I have nothing to fear of . You know how you higher ranked wolves are more maintenance . I joked trying to ease the tension . But it does the opposite because Brysons brows knot into a frown and he grumbles . He stares at me with an emotion he was quick to mask and then clears his throat . I guess well just have to wait and see who we end up with huh ? I nodded grimly . I didnt want to end up with anyone else other than Bryson was in love with him and I was afraid that even with a mate thats not him , Id never be able to get over him . TA Chapter 05 You better take your time today , I warned him as I buckle myself . Bryson shoots me a grin and winks . No promises . 1 gripped the door quickly as he drove off . Bryson Taylor ! I yelled in anger . He roared with laughter and then slowed down . I turn to shoot him a glare . I swear youre just trying to piss me off . The corner of his mouth lifted into a smirk as he spared men glance . Youre hot when youre pissed off , help it . He joked but there was something weighing in his tone that made it a bit hoarse . +25 BONUS I cant Again , his words always seem to make me stop breathing for a few . But then I always remember that Bryson was always a teaser and he loved to tease me . Those words had no real meaning behind them . They were just that , words . Even though I wanted them to mean so much more . With a raging blush on my face that I failed to hide , I rip my eyes away from him and focus on the road while I murmur . He chuckles and the sound sent a warm rush of tingles fluttering in my stomach . When we got to my place Bryson said hed much rather warm up the food in fear that Id burn down the house . Whatever , I said and rolled my eyes . I left him and went upstairs to freshen up . When I got back upstairs , Bryson is already seated on the sofa , his feet kicked up on the coffee table . 1 Arent you supposed to have a meeting with your dad today about the alpha ceremony ? I asked as I approached him . Not only was Bryson turning the age of eighteen in a couple of days , but he would also be passed down the alpha title . He will now be the alpha leader of the pack . Something hes been training for relentlessly . He looks up at me and I didnt fail to notice the way his eyes dipped for a few seconds on my breasts area and legs . 1 I blushed and he clears his throat while reaching over for the remote . Like Id leave you home alone Em . I mind linked my dad , well talk about it tomorrow . I winced . Brent Taylor , alpha of our pack , was a bit more stern . Especially when it came to pack business . Was he upset ? 1 winced as I plopped beside him . Net out a tiny breath when his arm slings around my shoulder and he pulled me closer to his side . Nah not really . He understood . Its really not a big deal Em Alpha duties can come after , youll always come first . I swallowed the lump in my throat . When he says words like that it makes me want to beg him to kiss me at least once before hell never be mine again . +25 BONUS Chapter 0005 But that wasnt a possibility . We were best friends and he only saw me as his little sister . I just dont want to be the reason youre missing out on your duties Bryce . Youll take over the pack in literally a few days . I whispered and peeked at him under my lashes I hear his sharp intake of breath when our eyes connected and furrow my brows when he rips them away quickly . I have enough time Em . Now stop being so worried . He whispered and switched through the movies and picked one I liked even though he didnt like that kind of genre . I smiled and lay my head on his shoulder . A few hours had passed and now it was dark out . The only light in the house was coming from the television . We had eaten a few hours ago and now I was exhausted . I yawned , my eyes fluttering closed until sleep washed over me . It was only when I felt myself being lifted did my eyes slowly fluttered open . In my hazy mind and vision , I spotted Brysons eyes staring down at me . Go back to sleep Em , I got you . He whispered and my eyes followed his command . I can hear his footfalls as he walked up the stairs , feel his arms hold me protectively to his chest . Hear the steady beating of his heart in his chest . And then soon , I felt the soft covers under me as I sank into the mattress . He fixed me and pulled the covers over my legs to my midsection . But when I thought he was gone , I felt the hovering presence of him above me then felt the softness of his lips on the corner of my mouth . Goodnight baby . He whispered , his lips lingering there .
