Semua Bab Mated to My Brother's Best Friend: Bab 51 - Bab 60

.ELRISTEYA.I stared at him, waiting for it. I wanted him to say just one thing. That one word I have been expecting him to acknowledge me as. My brow ticked as I pulled my lips in, swallowing hard. Everything was new to me but still... I needed him to call me that. I waited for him to speak. He seemed to be contemplating telling me. Why?"The thing is..." He gulped hard, his Adam's apple bobbing in the process. "You need to listen to me, okay?" His extended hands trembled a bit. I gave him a curt nod."You... You..." He kept hesitating. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes kept twitching and he kept blinking. "You are my mate." He said, staring at me like I was going to suddenly grow a beard and fly in the air.I said nothing instead and watched him. His mate. He might not know this but I had once heard him call me that in his sleep. I was confused as to why he would call me that but after meeting his mother the other day, I knew I had to fight for my place with Alec."

53|| A Date And A Pendant.ELRISTEYA.It was one hell of a dinner. I could not even breathe properly. Felt choked and thankfully, they had not questioned me. It was awfully quiet and the air has this feral energy. It must have been surprising that it did not have been cowering or wanting to leave early. His parents had uttered no word at me and as for his mom… she had pretended like she had not come to confront me days ago. Since that was the game she wanted to play, I will play along with her.The dinner was finally over and Alec led me to the car, telling me he would be back as he stepped back into the pack house as he called it. I waited patiently, leaning against the car as I glanced around the place. The pack looked modern; no one would have thought it was a pack house. I could have believed myself if I had not been told.I knew the person even before she appeared beside me. Her perfume had always been the genuine thing about her to say at least.“So you came.” Her voice had thi

.ALERIX.I let out a sigh as I dropped my bag and slumped down on the couch. I breathed out through my mouth, feeling how tired I was. I said nothing as I watched Alec step into the living room, his eyes hardening at me.If what he was about to say was what I was thinking, I'll just pass.“Stop.” He said and that earned a direct look from me.“Stop what?”“Stop trying to get him. You would only get hurt in the process, Alerix.” He said, making my face drop and anger rising within me.“You do not have a say when it comes to my mate and me. He does not understand the concept of mates and I will try to explain to him.” I defended, bending to put off my shoes.He scoffed. “And what made you think so? I already told him what we are. I also showed him my wolf too and how he became my Chosen Beta. Anything else? He knows his sister is my mate-”“But does not know I am his mate?” I cut in, raising my head to look at him before he would say anything else that might make me pounce on him“Yes,

.LESTIANA.I kept rubbing the tears off my cheeks. They won’t stop falling though. I wanted them to stop, they should stop falling because I needed them to. It was over even before it began. I needed to stop whatever it was before it hurt the both of us. I had come into realization that I did not need to keep doing that to him so I decided to tell him about my feelings and also make him understand what circumstances surrounded us and how we were never going to work out. My parents would never let it moreso…Him.My heart skipped as I thought about him. Raw anger streamed through my veins as I marched forward.“Lestiana!” I heard a familiar voice call out to me and I stopped then turned around, only to see Alerix. I had heard her name from Elris one time she was talking about how she had gotten jealous and all.My brows twitched as she approached me, her eyes carrying a wave of energy I could not decipher.“You…” I trailed off, glancing behind her and noticed where was she coming from.

.ALEC.My stomach coiled with rage as I glared at the sleeping figure on my bed. Fury pumped through my veins in place of the blood and I could not help but seethe. How could she? How could she do that to me? I thought we were already beginning to trust each other and she could tell me everything. My first curled as I tried not to let the rage engulf me but I could not tamp the feeling of distrust. How could she not tell me that?She was keeping a lot to herself and I did not like it one bit. I was even coming off what I was. She knew how strained the relationship between my parents and me was. She knew everything about it and she hid this from me. She let out some inaudible words as she rolled to the other side of the bed. Maybe I should go for a run, I needed that. I needed to clear the fog in my head before I table this matter before her because I knew if I were to do it now, more damage would be done than repair so I turned on my heels and walked outside, the midnight air slashing
