Chapter eight

Jethson POV

I stepped away from Imra and glanced around again, that voice is so familiar despite it being slurred.

‘Florian’ my wolf said, then his scent came. It was mixed with two alphas’ scent.

I heard a growl, “what is it Jethson?” Imra said, “Don't you want me?” She asked, stepping closer to me as I sniffed the air to know where Florian was.

“I need to go Imra, another day?” I said to her, she eyed and folded her arms, I turned to go.

Following the direction of the voice without replying to Imra who is screaming out loud at me.

 When I finally reached where I heard Florian’s voice came from I saw the Rhys cousins, one on the ground another one standing.

Florian is in the arms of the Rhys golden boy, Calvin Rhys.

“The fuck are you doing with my brother?!” I yelled, walking up to Calvin. I noticed Florian had passed out, his lips were blue.

The moonbane bloom herbs, my eyes widen. “What did fuck did you give him?” I hissed, taking Florian from Calvin. He didn't argue or anything, he just gave Florian to me.

“Relax Stetson, he just had a drink” Calvin said, smiling.

“A little drink?! He is out. And you fucking gave him Moonbane!” I shouted, inspecting the boy in my arms.

“That is my cousin’s mistake, we are sorry. I already scolded him.” Calvin said my eyes landed on Keal Rys who is now standing on his feet.

“The fuck are you thinking messing with my younger brother?!” I said out in anger if not because I have Florian in my arms I would beat the fuck out of him.

“What one can't mess with your pretty brother? Is he not even your real brother why are you worried man” Keal replied, feeling arrogant 

“You—” I stepped closer to him with Florian in my arms but his cousin blocked my way.

“I am sorry Stetson. My cousin is just being foolish” Calvin said, with a smile," The bastard is the only way of smiling.

“You should warn him and next time I see you too near him then you guys are asking for it” I said, Calvin raised his hand in surrender turned to his cousin, telling him to keep quiet.

I walked away from there as I mindlink Micah to get me some water and meet me at my car. I ran to my car at speed, bumping into people that didn't move from the way.

I opened my car door and placed Florian in the passenger seat. “Florian” I called him when he stirred.

“Florian” I tried again, this time he mumbled something before shifting in the seat.

“Hey open your eyes” I tapped his shoulder when he didn't move, “Fuck.” I stepped away from my car and glanced around until Micah and Kira came in line of my vision.

“What happened?” Kira asked when she and her mate walked closer. She peeped into my car and gasped, Micah handed me the bottle of water.

“He got drugged with Moonbane bloom” I replied as I opened the bottle of water and adjusted Florian’s head with one hand, before pouring water into his mouth.

“Who did that?” Kira asked.

“Keal Ryhs” I responded, stepping away from the car.

“Wait, how did he meet Keal?” Micah asked, I turned to him and Kira.

“We had an argument and he went off on his own from there…” I explained.

“That bastard! What is he thinking? He definitely wants to mess with you!” Kira hissed.

“Do you now see my point when you ask why you brought him here?” I told her.

“He was supposed to be with us if you did not drag him to argue” Kira mumbled, folding her arms.

“You were the one who brought him here in the first place!” I yelled at her.

“And you are the one acting like some mother hen. He is an adult, I don't know when you start caring about what other people do with their life!” She yelled right back, baring her fangs at me.

I was about to reply to her when Micah spoke. “You guys should hold it right there, no argument.” He started, “Thankfully he is not over dosed and I don't see the need of arguing, he might have taken the herb on his own will so—”

“He wouldn't” I cut Micah off, “he doesn't take any intoxicating drink.”

“Okay…” Micah glanced at his mate, a small cough caught our attention and we turned towards my car.

Florian already opened his eyes, he kept coughing as I gave him some water. “Are you okay?” I asked.

He nodded, “what happened?” He asked.

“You got drugged by Keal” I replied to him, he leaned back on the passenger seat, rubbing a hand against his eyes.

“You see that is why—” I started to scold him but Kira cut me off.

“Florian dear, why don't you rest for a while. After Jethson will take you home.” Kira said, pulling me from my car.

“What are you doing, I need him to know the gravity of what he has done!” I told Kira as she pulled away from the car.

“What about you? Do you understand the gravity of what you have done? Letting walk off on his own!” She scolded, eyeing me. “Whatever is it about the argument you guys have, you need to work it out.”

“It is not that serious…” I replied her 

“You should do it,” she said firmly, putting her hands on her hips.

“Alright”

When I and Kira got back to the car, Florian and Micah were already talking. Florian is now laughing at something Micah said, holding his head.

“Hey” I said to Florian, Kira pulled Micah from the car.

“Hey.” Florian said, he looked away from me, I walked around the car and entered the car. “Look I am sorry, I caused you a problem. I didn't think it would turn out this way and I promised this won't happen again.” Florian started to apologise to me.

“Yeah.. this should not happen again.” I said to him, I could feel his gaze ony face as I looked right in front of me, staring outside.

I turned to look at him, he turned his head quickly. He cleared his throat before speaking “you don't need to take me, I can order a ride.” His voice came out weak.

“No I will take you home, you should rest for a while. We will leave here soon.” I replied looking out of the car.

“Okay..”

A knock came on my side window and it was Irma, she had a smile on her face. “Hey baby”

“Irma,” I said to her, returning her smile. She put her hand inside my car and dropped a piece of paper on my laps.

“My number, call me” she said, making the call me sign. I nodded at her as she stepped away from the car, waving.

“I think I am ready to go home,” Florian said, sitting properly on the car seat. I looked at him.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah… the night turns out weird after all.” 

He started fixing his seat belt but got it all wrong, I was about to fix mine when I noticed. I shook my head and leaned over to him and started to help him.

“You are so clumsy” I mumbled, grabbing both belts at each side. My hand accidentally brushed his sides, I heard him sucked in his breath.

His heart was pounding fast, I lifted my head, our eyes met before his eyes fell on my lips.

And he leaned forward, his soft lips brushed mine softly. He pulled away quickly when I didn't respond.

I didn't respond because I was in shock but I am not letting go of the opportunity to taste those.

Forgetting the fact he is my step brother and how we shouldn't be doing.

I clashed my lips against his, holding unto the back of his head and biting his lips which made him open up for me.

I pushed my tongue into his mouth, he gasped in between the kiss, I went back to suckle on his lips.

I pulled back, his lips were parted and swollen and before I could say anything I heard a loud familiar siren.

The police.

“Shit” I cursed under my breath and sat back on my seat.

“What is going on?” Florian

asked, looking out of the side window.

I didn't reply as I started my car and stepped on the accelerator speeding on the road.
