All Chapters of Alpha’s Halfling Mate: Branded By My Sister’s Death : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Trevor’s POVI knew it was Sireen’s voice I heard from over the hedge, and if I was sensible enough, I would have turned around and gone in the other direction. The game was still in play, but I abandoned all of that and flew over a wall of hedges, risking injuring myself just to confirm that it was her voice I heard. Immediately I set eyes on her, crawling away on the floor, I knew I had made a mistake. Everything in me pushed for me to pin her there and take her, and my cock, the sly bastard, was twitching uncomfortably in my shorts. I have to remind myself every second of the day that I hate her for taking Kylie away, but when her small nose is as reddened as her cheeks, her freckles coming more to life at this minute, and her eyes shining brightly and seeing through my soul like that, I forget all about my hate.She asked what I was doing, and I told her. She asked why, and I couldn’t answer. I just wanted to shut her up, and that’s what I’ll do.She doesn’t pull back when I crow

Sireen’s POVI pull out a printed piece of paper from my bag that I didn’t put there, and as I read the bold letters pasted across it, a sharp painful lump forms in my throat, making it difficult to swallow or even breathe through.It reads, ‘NOTHING CAN FIX THE MONSTER THAT YOU ARE.’I stare blankly at the paper for what must be minutes, because I do not notice when I’m not alone for the second time today as someone taps me on my shoulder from behind.Giving another set of eyes a reason to taunt me being the last thing that I need, I squeeze the paper in my hands with speed, and I turn around to face the person, but I’m surprised by who I see.Outwardly gray eyes that are almost white look down on me in concentration, and a familiar one sided smile is staring me in the face with a dimpled cheek that I remember all too well.Enzo, the guy who helped me out when I strayed into the men’s bathroom just yesterday, runs a thick hand through his stubble as he searches my face briefly before

Trevor’s POVThe sun set hours ago, and the moon has even come out to play, but I’m still yet to make it to where I’m supposed to pass the night after the blow up with my parents. It’s Friday night, I can hear people my age unwinding in at least four small parties around the pack, but not even the idea of drinking till I forget where my hands are seems remotely appealing to me.So I start to walk, aimlessly.Maybe not entirely aimlessly since I somehow end up on the other side of the pack from where I’m supposed to be. I’m met with rows of cabins on either side of the road, and if I pass a handful more houses, I’ll find myself right in front of Sireen’s house.‘Bad idea.’ That is what the voice in my head says, but I still don’t stop walking. With how dark it is out here, the only two sources of light being the dull moon and street lights on only one side of the road, at least four houses apart, it’ll be hard for anyone to notice my presence, so that keeps me going.I’m two houses aw

Sireen’s POVMom takes a full minute of silence to process what I just blurted out, and I can’t blame her. She just found out that I found my mate and got rejected by him in the same sentence, and it would have put a band-aid on the matter if I didn’t speak up, but that solution would have been temporary and leading to more hurt for both of us sooner rather than later.Finally, after what feels like a silent funeral for my loss, Mom breathes out a deep sigh. We are still standing by the door, so she leads me to the closest couch in the living room so we can sit. She holds me with eyes where I get mine from and of all things I expect her to say next, she asks.“Are you okay, my love?”I’m stunned. I expected her to ask me why he rejected me, not if I was okay. With our grief, I guess a part of me thought Mom was a bit disconnected, but now I was starting to know that nothing could take away her care and love for me.Quietly, I answer. “I’m okay, Mom, I’m fine. It’s not like we were mea

Sireen’s POV“Will you be okay on your own for a few minutes? I should say hi to some old faces.” Mom links a palm through mine and I turn to face her, breaking my gaze with Enzo's otherworldly eyes.I nod. “Yeah. We’ll catch up,” I say, and Mom confirms from me again with her eyes, and only when I give her a reassuring smile does she unlink our hands to leave. She doesn’t go far before she’s stopped by two female pack shifters and they start to exchange pleasantries. I’m sure that a whole lot of people are shocked by our appearance here today, but they don’t make a spectacle out of it.The only place where that would hold is in school and I can thank the lights that not many students from the pack’s campus are here right now.I turn away from Mom and look back where I saw Enzo seconds ago to see if he’s still there. He is.This would be the third time in a week that I’ve seen him, not that I was complaining.I stay where I am because Enzo is already crossing the two canopies separati
