ANMELDENFlorian’s pov
“Understood” I swallowed, pushing off the car and turned to walk towards the crowd.
I was half expecting Jethson to say something but he didn't. He truly doesn't want me near him, maybe scared that I will ruin his reputation as the biggest playboy.
Because I am calm and gentle, not suitable to be his brother.
After tonight, I have to make sure I talk to Kira. She has to stop trying to become my friend.
I was navigating the crowds when I bumped hard into someone’s back.
An alpha.
I could tell from the scent.
Can this night get any better?
“I am really sorry, I wasn't looking.” I apologized, avoiding looking at the person. Without waiting for the person's response, I brushed past the person.
Then I felt a grip on my shoulder, strong that stopped me from moving. I turned with a frown, looking
“You are really not looking,” The alpha said. “You are pretty.” He mumbled, pulling me closer to himself.
I don't like this.
My heart dropped, fear rushed through me.
“I am sorry, just let me go,” I pushed at him.
“Calm down, red. I just want a taste of you, don't you want to have a taste of me?” He murmured, his head started leaning down.
I don't even know him, I pushed harder but it still doesn't move him.
Then a gentle deep voice called, “Keal, let the omega go. He is not interested, you dumb fuck.”
The Alpha who had grabbed me, Keal, let go of that instance.
A breath escaped my mouth as I glanced at my savior, He looked well put together different from all Alpha I have seen.
He dressed responsibly too, his hair slicked back.
“Why do you have to ruin my fun each time, Calvin.” Keal said, sounding pissed at a smiling Calvin, “I am literally about to have probably the best night of my life.” He hissed.
Keal gazed at me, his eyes raking all over me.
“He is not interested and he is scared of you. Now I apologize to the omega.” Calvin said to Keal.
Keal hesitated before speaking, “I am sorry.”
I cleared my throat and nodded, “Thank you.” I murmured.
“Ah it is fine, don't mind my cousin. He is a little dumb. I am Calvin Rhys” Calvin stepped forward with his hands to the front for a handshake.
I Took it, “Florian—” I tried to introduce myself.
“Ah I know who you are Florian.” Calvin brushed me off with a smile.
“Right”
He probably knows me as the boy whose mom married a powerful, rich alpha.
“Who is he?” Keal asked
“Jethson's step brother” Calvin replied him
“Shit” Keal cursed, his facial expressions are priceless. He looked scared immediately. “I am so sorry”
I nodded, “it's fine” I said softly. Turning to walk away.
“Wait” Calvin stopped me, “Would you like to join us, if you don't want to that is okay”
If I returned to Jethson and his friends, he might start to piss me off…But will I be safe with these guys
One nearly assaulted me…
“We have omegas too, over there.” Calvin pointed to a direction, “And they are our friends too. Don't worry you are safe with us, my cousin is just an idiot sometimes”
“Oh fuck off” Keal rolled his eyes.
“Okay” I agreed
“That's a yes, please come this way” Calvin said, he started moving and I followed closely behind him.
Keal follows too, sulking.
We reached a small group of five, sitting on their cars bonnet with bottles of alcohol that won't do any intoxication to them.
Of course we have a plant that can cause intoxication to werewolves but we werewolves avoid it. It is dangerous when one is addicted.
“Who is this?” Someone from the group asked, I was busy staring at my foot.
“Guys this is Florian Stetson,” Cavin introduced, I wanted to correct him but I stopped.
“Jethson’s baby brother?” Someone asked.
“Yes and our newest friend.” Calvin placed his arms around my shoulder and smiled down at me.
He is handsome but in the way Jethson is.
Calvin has this soft and calm plus playful vibes while Jethson reek of danger.
He is like a bad thing, you know that but still wants to go for it.
Shit.
Why am I comparing my stepbrother and total stranger?
“Florian meet Liam, Yuri, Olivia,Linda and Becky.” Calvin introduced his friends point to them one by one.
“Nice to meet you” I said to them, Yuri, Linda and Becky responded and they seemed cool to me.
Except Liam who looked like he had a bunch of questions.
“Where's Jethson? Why are you not with your brother?” Liam questioned, he was the one who asked if I was Jethson's baby brother.
“Somewhere in the crowd” I answered
“We are not friends with Jethson, you know that Calvin. You won't like it when he comes and starts causing trouble because of his little brother.” Liam said to Calvin, he doesn't seem to like me or Jethson.
“That is because you fucked him then he dumped your ass and you don't want us to be friends with him” Keal said Vulgarly.
Oh.
I guess Liam and Jethson had an issue.
“That is why I am here, Damage control” Calvin said, he had a smile on his face.
“I am sure Jethson wouldn't mind me being here.” I added, trying to lessen the tension.
“Do you hear that Liam, Calm your nerves. Jethson already forgot about you, you should too” Calvin said and Liam flipped him. “Come here, let me sit in my car.” Calvin leads me to his car.
“So you are a student?”
“Yes”
“So…Are you and Jethson close?”
“No…I mean not really. We don't hate each other, we just… you know…” I lied.
“Oh I get you… I know it can be a little awkward getting along with a new person” Calvin chuckled a little bit.
I turned to him.
Surprisingly, I am smiling for the first time with an alpha. I didn't feel awkward or scared when I was with an alpha.
He turned to me too, he was smiling at me too.
“Are you guys lovers already?” Keal walked towards us, he was holding two plastic red cups.
When he reached us, he handed one to me. I was reluctant to take it at first but when I glanced at Calvin, he nudged me to take it.
I sniffed it, it was alcohol so I downed it in one go.
The three of us started talking, at first I didn't feel intoxicated then someone called Calvin and he had to leave us.
And I was left with Keal who was staring at me intensely.
My vision started blurry, I saw Keal's lips moving as he lifted me down Calvin’s car bonnet but I couldn't hear him.
And what I felt next was Keal’s lips against my neck.
“Stoppp” I tried to push him but he didn't budge.
Then someone pulled him
from me forcefully, it was Calvin, he bared his fangs at his cousin. Telling him to back off
“Are you okay?”
That I heard before my eyes closed.
Blackout.
Jethson's pov The sounds of people's movements woke me up, I opened my eyes slowly and tried to sit up but I was pulled back by…a seat belt.I glanced around, I am in a plane.I adjusted the seat so I could sit up, then I stopped a flight attendant who was passing by.“Has the plane taken flight?” I asked,“Yes sir” she responded with a smile, I removed the seat belt and stood up, once I turned I saw my father's men.I let out a sigh and sat down, I can't fight them now.I searched for my pockets for my phone…then I remember.I dropped it when my father's men attacked me. I scoffed because he didn't even trust me enough to not run away.“Shit”I didn't tell Micah…or Florian even though I don't want to accept the fact that we are mates…I still can't bear to see him in pain.I can't lose the opportunity to talk to my mother…I can't fight my father for two people now. He will win.One thing about Ned Stetson is that he will always win.I stayed still, staring into space until the plan
Florian’s povWhen I woke up the next morning, I realized that Jethson had left.He wasn't in his room so I asked Mrs Lorey who told me he left.I stared into space, I haven't moved from my bed since I woke up.I turned slightly when I heard the door open, my mom walked in.“Florian” she called,I didn't answer her.“I know I said some things that have hurt but I only want to protect you as a parent and…I didn't”“You didn't think you would hurt me with your actions” I completed.“I am sorry” she said, walking closer. She sat down at the edge of the bed. “You and Jethson…can't work. the society won't accept,” she said as she took my hand in her.“You won't accept it” I corrected her, turning to her. “Last night, you looked at me like I have ruined your life” I yanked my hand away from her.“I was scared…The reporter who…the reporter who saw you and Jethson works for a media company that doesn't hesitate to expose anything” My mom said, “you should understand”I looked at her blankly,
Jethson’s povI didn't look up to my father, my eyes were on my thighs.Florian's face returned to my head, the hurt on his face.That look…My hands grabbed my knees, I walked away when I was supposed to be there for him.“I thought we have an agreement, Jethson” My father's voice came, I hate his tone, I hate his voice.“We do” I responded without looking at him,“You were messing around with my stepson”“It's nothing”“You expect me to believe that?!” My father yelled raising his voice at me “And you expect me to believe that my mom left like that and doesn't want to meet me!” I yelled back.My father's eyes widened, something flashed in his eyes before he looked away.It was something like guilt…“You should know what will happen when this get out, I can't risk people knowing, so you take the next flight to B city”“I won't go” I knew what the flight to B city means, lay low for the company branch.“If you still want to contact your mother, You should”“You can't do that” I frow
Florian’s pov“Mom” I called softly when I reached the end of the stairs.She was on the couch, crying.“Mom” I called again,“Don't” “Don't call me” Her voice was harsh as she looked up at me, there was this look in her eyes.Disappointment.She had never looked at me that way.Tears blurred my vision as I stared down my feet.“You lied to me, Florian,” she said, her voice breaking.“I am sorry” I let out,“I asked you, You still lied” “I am so sorry”I don't know why I am apologizing but I kept saying sorry.“Since when has this been going on?” She questioned,“It has been a few months now” the answer rolled out my mouth.I didn't feel the need to lie anymore, she saw it with her one eye.“Florian! That was right after my wedding!” My mom raised her voice.She had never raised her voice at me.“You were sleeping with your stepbrother? Did he force you into it?” She said, I head up walking up to me.I shook my head, “I consented” “How could you?”He is my mate.I heard footsteps
Florian’s pov My heart skipped a beat as my mother repeated the question, “What is going on between you and Jethson”Her voice was too calm and it lacked any of her cheerfulness.“Nothing” I denied, My voice stable. I didn't know how I managed not to stutter, I hadn't even thought about my mother finding out about me and Jethson. “We are just friends”“Then how do you explain this?” she said, pointing to the coffee table.My gaze dropped to the table, there were photos on it.I walked up to it and picked up the photos, My eyes widened when I saw.It was that night at the club, when I and Jethson kissed.Someone must have seen us and taken the pictures, my heart beat picked up again.Luckily, it didn’t show that we were kissing clearly.“I was drunk and nothing happened, Jethson took me to his place then I left for Calvin's that same night, There is nothing going on between us” I lied,my hands clenching beside me.“Are you sure?”I nodded, looking down at my feet.Tears blurring my vi
Florian’s povIt turns out Calvin had been suspicious of me and my stepbrother.After I left Jethson's place, heartbroken, I couldn't call anymore other than Calvin to come pick me up.And he came as fast as he could, He held me as I cried and didn't even ask questions until I spoke.I explained briefly what happened and he caught on. He said he did suspect something was going on between me and Jethson.He didn't judge me or feel irritated, He confronted me.Which made me happy. He is so good to me even though I was shitty to him.I walked into the Stetson's mansion and dialed Calvin's phone to let him know that I already left his place and that I had arrived home.I stayed at his apartment for two days.His phone rang for a few minutes before he answered, his breath ragged and rapid like some who has been in a fight.“Calvin? Are you alright?” I asked, before Calvin could reply I heard Jethson’s voice yelling.“ I will f**k you up, Calvin, Let me go!”“Calvin, Were you fighting with
Florian’s pov It is my mother's wedding day. I fixed my bow tie for the fifth time, My red curls slicked back. Straightened my back, I gave my self a nod in the mirror. I walked out of the restroom, the wedding reception had just started and I have been avoiding my step brother. After what had h
Jethson's pov The fuck? Sarah and my father were busy smiling at each other like they just say the best thing this evening. I could barely stop thinking of the boy and they want to live under the same roof. my gripped on Florian lossened and I stepped away from him. I hated how he affected me,
Florian's pov My eyes widened. But I quickly schooled my expression. I can't believe my mother bagged Ned Stetson, the Chairman to Stetson group and the alpha to one of the powerful pack in the city. The most eligible single middle age bachelor, he had been single since his mate, Jethson's mother
Florian’s pov I stood in the corner of the large room, which served as a venue to a charity gala. My mother insisted we attended, the room was full with people with expensive perfumes and colognes and practiced confidence. I have been doing a good job of staying invisible and unnoticed, I have al
