Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Brother : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

I step from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my body, only to find Ezra leaning against the wall next to the bathroom the door, seemingly waiting for me. That same warm smile upon his face as his eyes meet mine. I look to him with confusion.“So, what do you normally do when Hunter is gone?” He questions.I raise my brows at him. This was his home pack, he knew what was here, why was he asking me what we should do? Surely he had friends to catch up with? I bite my togue to stop myself saying anything that may come across as rude though, and simply, answer his question. “I don’t do anything exciting if that is what you are hoping. I don’t know pack all that well. I may occasionally see my friend, Prisha, but she is working today. Otherwise, I may go for a run, then I come back here.Hunter likes to know where I am.”Ezra's face tightened for a moment into a frown, before he nods. “Why does that not surprise me with my brother? But that is cool. A run, and then a movie marathon sound

Having eaten our food in awkward silence, we then sat equally as awkwardly. Hunter continuing to knock back beer after beer. Tension rising. So, the moment I could I rush to the bathroom to shower. I need to escape the atmosphere in there, and I plan to go to my own room tonight. I do not care if it will cause questions. I will not stay in the room with Hunter tonight after he has acted that way, nor when he has drunk as much as he has.Only further backing up my theory he was out for conflict tonight was the second I had left the room I could hear Hunter begin to argue with his brother. And it was not a small argument. His tone was full of sheer fury... he wanted a fight...“You going to tell me what the fuck you think you were doing back there?” He roared. His voice was loud. Angry. My body trembled with fear. Hunter was not doing a lot to be discreet. Even if I had not been lingering within the hallway and had headed straight to the bathroom as I said I was going to, I could have h

I step from the bathroom, nerves filling my body. I had taken my time in getting ready, wondering if today I would find the same as the previous day. I do not want to find Ezra sitting in the kitchen waiting… the previous day had been awkward, even more so with the evening’s events...Hunter had not come looking for me when I had retired to my allocated bedroom, despite the fact we were trying to maintian the façade we were a happily married couple. When his brother had arrived he had been adamant we would share his room. Make the scene more believeable. But, last night, he must have been quite content to have his room to himself, for not once did he reach out, nor come looking for me. And in truth, I was happy for my own space. Happy to not have him there passing judgement. Criticising. Not having to lay within the tense atmosphere my husband brought.I know at this time, a time I intentionally chose to stay in bed until, that Hunter would be out, be it training, or working. But, the

Everyone else was finishing their meals and beginning to leave the table, only encouraged by the former Alpha and Hunter. The fact that I have not finished seems irrelevant to any of them. I know my late arrival had irritated some, but was the rule of waiting until all had finished eating before leaving the table not considered good manners here? For in my pack nobody would leave until everyone had finished...A few pitiful glances were thrown in my direction, or that of disgust. It seems my late arrival was going to be considered my fault despite my explaination. Obviously nobody would see their new Alpha as being in the wrong. My stomach twists with discomfort. The longer I sit here the more I wish I had simply turned around and headed home the moment Aziz mentioned I was late.I sigh, and place my cutlery upon my plate, taking a slow sip of the water next to my plate, allowing my eyes to drift around the now emptying room. It was a beautiful room. So lavishly decorated, but I woul

The party is like hell upon earth. People acting like they believe they are something important. All looking down upon me like a piece of dirt upon their shoes. I did not belong here, that much is evident. They do not want me here, that much is equally clear. Hunter barely acknowledges I am alive. Just the occasional sneer in my direction. Not even a word through the link. Any of the guests have to be questioning our marriage seeing him and I right now, don’t they? This is not how a married couple act, do they?Hunter has that same casual and laid-back smile upon his face, drink after drink within his hand as he now has his arm slung around a woman I do not know while they sit upon one of the many sofas within the large lounge. Looking far too cosy for a married man in my opinion. But my opinion does not matter. He has made that clear on many occasion. But would the opinion of the others here not matter? I was not letting it bother me, this was his behaviour, not mine, so he could dea
