All Chapters of The Alpha's Brother : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ezra and I walk for a short while, a comfortable silence sitting between us as we dodge the trees of the forest. Ash seems upon high alert which I find odd, even more so the slight snarl she releases as Ezra gently reaches for my hand. My wolf had been keen on this man not too long ago... What has suddenly changed? Though my mind suddenly filters to the warmth of his touch as his fingers tighten around my hand. My eyes moving up to look at him, yet he is looking forward. Those beautiful gray eyes of his focused upon where we are going. His strong jaw, defined in the light of the evening sunshine... he looks handsome tonight, I find myself thinking.Ezra must feel my eyes upon him, as his eyes move to meet mine. "Seeing something you like there, beautiful?" He asks, with almost a twinkle in his eyes, and smile teasing at his lips. I swallow heavily. I do not want him thinking I am checking him out...I avert my gaze quickly, causing Ezra to chuckle, and suddenly that hand surrounding m

Ezra’s body drops down next to me upon the picnic table. His eyes filled with pity. “He can’t blame you for that one, sweetheart.” He says softly. “Is that what your are worried about?”That is exactly what I am worrying about. But, I am not about to get into this with him. “It doesn’t matter, okay? I just would rather it is left alone, please?”There is a heavy sigh from the handsome man next to me, but thankfully, he nods. “Fine. At least let me care for you while you are here. I said you wouldn’t be here alone tonight, so allow me to stay with you, yeah?”That same smile from earlier was back upon his face. That warmth. The care. All the things that made my heart flutter…How can I say no to him? I return the smile, albeit tentatively. “Thank you. I don’t think anyone has even noticed I am here. I was considering heading home.”“Home? As in the apartment? Or as in your pack?” Ezra asks, leaning his head upon his hand, as his elbow rested upon the table, his beautiful gray eyes inte

The moment we walk through the door, Hunter stalks off to his room. ‘Stay out of my brother’s way. Do not think I have not seen you getting closer.’ He links as the door to his room slams shut, making my heart skip a beat as it does. He knows? He has not been near me all evening. Not even within sight when Ezra and I tried to find him. Yet he somehow knew his brother and I had spent time together again?‘He was keeping me company, that is all.’ I defend.‘I don’t know how fucking stupid you think I am, Lena. But that is not someone who is keeping someone else company when he defends you the way he does. Like I said, stay the fuck away, or this easy life you have been having will become a whole lot more difficult, do you understand me?’ Hunter was icy cold even through the mindlink, and my stomach tightened with anxiety. He did not just mean tonight. He meant in general. And when was Ezra defending me?Ash snarls to life, the words of our husband irritating my wolf. 'This easy life? He

With my body trembling, my hand falls from the door handle, my eyes never leaving Ezra’s, as he steps closer. “Have you been crying?” His voice was equally demanding but more soft this time.I raise my hand to cover my face, dropping my head into my hands as I do so. “Ezra please…” I whisper. “I am sorry.”There is a heavy sigh from the man in front of me. Is he angry? Upset? It is so hard to tell. But I know I want him to understand. I need him to realise I have reached the limit of what I am able to take. Yet, a part of me does not want him to think badly of me.“Lena. What is going on?” His voice alters again, calmer now, as he reaches for me, and pulls me to him. There is not the anger I would expect from a man who has just caught me trying to flee his pack. Trying to flee his brother. My husband…I feel a wave of calm settle over me. Maybe he will understand? Maybe if I explain everything to him he will let me go? I move my hand, allowing my gaze to meet his, and all I see is con

I am wrapped within Ezra’s arms. “You do not need to cry. This is not your fault. You know that, don’t you?” He brushes my hair back from face. “I am certain Hunter is unable to change. The more I hear of him. The more I see him with you, the more I believe he is a fucking fool. Who would not want you?”“It doesn’t matter.” I whisper.“But he hasn’t even marked you.” His voice is almost a hiss. Furious. “Has he even consummated your marriage?”My eyes widen at Ezra’s words, as colour floods my cheeks. I was not expecting this conversation. A wry smile appears upon my brother-in-laws face. “Aww, come on, don’t get embaressed around me now. Can I not be curious? He chose not to mark you. But my brother is sex obsessed. Quite the lothario. Always has been. his reputation precedes him, I imagine you have to know that. While he may not have officially made you his in our traditional sense because to him that was too much of a commitment, sex means very little to him, so I wonder…” Ezra’s v
