All Chapters of His Alpha Brother Is My Bedfellow : Chapter 121 - Chapter 125

OLIVIA The city lights blurred past the car window as Killian drove us back to the pack. Night had fallen completely now, the sky a deep velvet blanket sprinkled with stars. I leaned my head against the cool window, watching the lights of passing cars blur into streaks.Killian drove with one hand on the wheel, the other resting loosely on my thigh. His touch was warm, familiar, grounding. But my mind was anywhere but grounded.Fated mate, I thought for the hundredth time. Kane could be my fated mate.*So what?* Zoey's voice was sharp, defiant. *Fated doesn't mean chosen. We choose Killian. End of story. **But the bond—* *The bond means nothing if we don't want it. We reject him. Simple. Fate doesn't get to waltz in now and mess that up.* I wanted to believe her. I really did. But the memory of that pull, that undeniable attraction to Kane, made me doubt.*What if I can't control it? What if every time I'm near him, I—* *Then we fight, * Zoey said fiercely. *We've survived worse

Kane remained in his chair, that almost-smile still playing on his lips, those piercing blue eyes watching me with an intensity that made me feel exposed.*Don't let him see you're affected, * Zoey warned. *He's playing games. *I know. I just... why is he different today?*Maybe he's testing you. Seeing how you react. *I straightened my spine, forcing myself to meet his gaze. "The session. Are we doing it or not?"Kane's expression turned flat. He gestured to the chair across from him. "Sit."I sat. The chair was the same as last time, comfortable and soft, but today it felt like a trap.
