The Alpha's Brother 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

I had rushed from the house, knowing my late arrival was truly going to have flustered my father and his cronies. But, in all honesty I was reaching the point of not caring. I had recieved several mindlinks demanding to know where I was at, and all had remained unanswered. From my father, my mother and pack elders. Mindlinks from Hunter demanding to be there soon to take the pressure from him, only told me that the meeting was not as pleasant as it had been portrayed by my family. This was a mess I did not want to get involved in…‘Did I not tell you to get in the damn car?’ Ghost joked clearly sensing my unease. 'Said to get away while you could.'‘This is pack. You know we have to do this.’ I reminded him. 'And even if we didn't, you know my Dad would never let me hear the end of it.'‘No. Your brother maybe has to do it, as pack tradition, you, not so much. You don’t plan to be Alpha.’ My wolf argues, and again he surprises me with his changes in opinion on this matter. I think a s

The poor she-wolf looked like a deer trapped in headlights at my words, so I chose not to mention them again, and began to walk hoping she would see it as an invitation to walk along with me as I had previously suggested, rather than an opportunity to run away like she had so clearly been attempting to when she came crashing into me….And within moments there were footsteps by my side. “Please don’t think badly of me for being nervous.” She whispered, and I find myself looking to the sweet blue eyes searching my face for forgiveness. “I do not mean it as an insult to you nor your brother in any way.” She added with the most shaky of voices.I found my brow furrowing. “Why would it be insulting to me or Hunter?” I asked, puzzled by the whole suggestion it would. Neither he nor I wanted this, and I was not naïve enough to believe that all the brides in the room waiting to meet us wanted it too. Though having heard some of the mindlinks from my brother, he was referring to many as title-

This she-wolf was not normal. Not like the girls my brother had been describing through the link. The ones currently visiting, and demanding of his attention. Who would no doubt be demanding my attention too if I had made my way up to the meeting if I had done as I was expected…No. This girl here, in front of me, had not only surprised me with her lack of actual interest in the arranged marriage. Then looked seriously insulted by the implication she may wish to go and find my brother, with him being a bigger and better prize, even if it was said as a joke. I had lost many a girl to my brother over the years, all because he was the upcoming -Alpha, he was alluring enough to entice a woman away. But this she-wolf looked positively disgusted by the thought. That was appealing as hell. It made her different. Enticing...And now, she had just suggested going to help our staff! I mean, what? She was here as a guest. She would be considered of rank. She was of Beta blood, yet she still did

I cannot help but chuckle at the shocked look upon Lena’s face. She is incredibly adorable. Naïve, that much is pretty clear, but despite her shock, and the surprise at myself when the thought had come to my mind at suggesting it, it made perfect sense.No, we did not know one another, as I had said I would prefer. But I was to be forced into an arranged marriage, that was going to occur whether I wanted it or not. I could see that this she-wolf, despite being within our pack for that exact reason was terrified of the very prospect. She intirigued me. Something about her called out to me. And she was sweet. Kind. Adorable. I truly believed that given time there could be something there. There was something about her...I did not know who my parents had in mind for me, but I did not plan to give them the time to decide. I was going to chose for them. Lena was here. She had been selected as a potential bride, so she had evidently met all the fucking ridiculous criteria on their tick-lis

I think I am broken. Something is certainly wrong with me. Following a woman into the bathroom certainly had never been something I never imagined myself doing, but as I came to my senses having watched Lena rush away from me, I realised I did not want her to walk away from me. I wanted to know that she was okay. And if nothing else I wanted to ensure she did not get in trouble for spending time with me.She was here for these meetings today, and no doubt, like every other pack that was visiting today, they would consider them high stakes. Her disappearing would have been considered disrespectful to both my pack and her pack elders. I wanted to explain in the least it had been my fault. She had looked terrified at the idea of them.So I rushed back inside the hallway after, my eyes darting over the staff areas but could not see sight nor sound of the sweet she-wolf. Rosa wandered into the kitchen with a sad smile upon her face. “You looking for the sweet little she-wolf who was accomp
