Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Brother : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Home was not a pleasant place to be. The moment we had walked through the door after the deathly silent walk home and all hell had broken loose. Hunter begun smashing the place apart, until tears were rolling down by face. Begging him to stop…I feared for my life, until Ezra had barrelled into the home, and tried to calm his brother. He had rushed home from his parents soon after us, likely realising what may be awaiting him, or moreso me. But, Hunter instantly blamed the situation on me. Saying it was me provoking him. And that I had done nothing but try to show him up that night. My heart ached as he basically implied everything had been set up by me to make Hunter look bad.The words that came from my husbands lips did nothing but paint me in a bad light. Depicting me as nothing but evil. There to gain the title bestowed upon me when I married Hunter. Yet his words contradicted themselves as he soon stated I was not happy to be pushed into a marriage with a man I did not see worth

Sipping at my hot chocolate, and picking at the delicious cakes my friend had selected for us, I do my best to focus on the conversation with Prisha. I was trying hard to steer the conversation away from her many attempts at questioning why I think Ezra looks so angry with me, or why he continues to look over in our direction. But all my attempts are failing miserably. She was not wrong, since the moment he had sat down his gaze was honed in upon our table, or moreso upon me... and that gaze looked irritated... frustrated, perhaps? I don't know anymore. He was as hard to read as his brother.I find my gaze wandering to where the looming figure of my brother-in-law is sitting, and find those intense gray eyes lingering on my table once again. His brows raise as he notices me glance across, and I swear a slight smirk is teasing at the corner of his mouth. I do not understand this man…“So, now he is flirting?” Prisha questions, and my heart plummets. "Just what is going on with him?"Fl

‘Shift, Ash.’ I urge my wolf in panic hearing her whimper, knowing there was still a chance I would be trapped by whatever she was but I stood more chance of running than she did right now.That familiar surge washes over me as those ripples of something between discomfort and exhileration of the shift take over me. My body altering, as Ash’s fur recedes. Those footsteps sound like they are close, but my focus now is getting away.Once I have full control, and now the shift is complete I feel a crippling, sharp shock of pain from where my foot, too is caught within the undergrowth. Shifting had not freed me as I had hoped. I place my hand there, as I reposition myself to see what it was I was caught upon. The difference between me and my wolf, was my hands. With them, I should be able to free myself…But as my hand reaches my leg I can feel the metal of what appears to be a trap. Am I caught in some form of trap for rogues? Why is that within our own forest? Traps are usually used alo

My heart pounds as that voice sounds out around us. Ezra leaps back from me, his eyes darting around the forest near us, and he rushes to stand. “Shit, I am sorry, sweet… Lena.” He says bluntly, seeming to correct himself with my name. He regrets what has just happened, I realise with a sinking heart. I thought he wanted it but it now seems he did not. Or if he did, he realises now it was wrong...“The warrior is here.” He quickly adds, moving to go and meet him.I watch his retreating figure with a heaviness in my chest, as the pain floods my body once more, the distraction he had caused now gone. 'I am sorry, sweetheart.' Ezra links, despite him moving away.'No, I am...' I begin.'It should not have happened.' He interrupts, and once more my heart falls. Seems I wanted him to want it... seems I wanted it too... forbidden or not... this was not a good sign. I may be in trouble.'Ezra, please...' I try.But the mindlink is left unanswered, so I can only assume he may have met the war

I walk from my room. Showered and dressed. Having chosen a pretty, summery pale lilac strappy skater style dress, and some converse in the same colour. My long blond hair is left loose around my shoulders. I walk out into the hallway and the house is quiet. I had expected a barrage of insults from my husband for keeping him waiting, but he is nowhere to be seen, nor heard, as I move toward the lounge to see if he is sitting with a beer.‘Hunter?’ I link him, knowing if he is not home that way I would know, and that way, I could gain directions to where I should be. After the disaster of the previous event, I was leaving nothing to chance.‘What?’ He comes straight back, sounding increasingly irritated. ‘You thought I would wait for you? I am an Alpha, Lena. I am not at your beck and call. Although, perhaps if it did not take you so long to make yourself look half decent then I might wait for you. Not my fault you look like the back end of a fucking bus.’I slowly shake my head as I mo
