Ryan p. o. v
We all sat in the living room quietly.
My eyes were on my mate and so was Evan’s.
She sat between Whitney and Uncle looking all comfortable.
They were so over protective over her and that was pissing me off.
“Whitney, you can’t stand between mates, that you should understand because you too are mated.” Alpha Ian said calmly then stood up and looked at Lexi.
“And I believe she has a choice over all this, after all we are talking about her and her mates.” He said.
“Alpha, I do understand how it feels to find a mate and I do want Lexi to be happy. But understand that she’s too innocent and naive. For a long time she stayed alone without anyone looking after her or telling her anything about the world. On the other hand we have these two assholes who have fucked around a lot, drunk as much as they wanted and disrespected a lot of females.” She said as I sat upright with a low growl.
“Yeah right. Growl as much as you want you don’t intimidate me. I heard it all from your warriors at the cottage. You both are playboy assholes who have no conscious or remorse for the opposite sex.” She spat as I furiously stood up.
“What the fuck is wrong with you old bitch!” I exclaimed as her eyes switched to that of her wolf.
“Sit down!” Evan said on top of his voice.
I looked at him in disbelief and shock.
Was he deaf or what?. The bitch was insulting us and calling us messed up names in front of our fucking mate.
“You heard me Ryan, I said sit the fuck down!” He spat and this time his wolf pulled through to warn me.
I reluctantly sat down and folded my arms.
“Alpha Whitney, I want to apologize over my twin brother’s stupid behavior.” He said in a respectful tone as Whitney’s eyes turned back to their normal color.
“Ryan is an asshole who has no regard for one’s feelings and emotions, that you just have noticed by now. He is also very stubborn and tends to be a bully whenever things don’t go his way.” He said as I glared at him.
Was he trying to go against me for that witch!.
I couldn’t believe that my own twin brother was saying all that crap about me.
“Fuck you Evan!” I spat loudly as Alpha Ian looked at me seriously.
“I.. I apologize.” I stummered softly then lowered my gaze. I didn’t want him to be upset with me.
Yes I respected him and I was loyal without question, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t scared of Alpha Axel. He was brutal and his reason was thin whenever he took over in anger.
“I won’t lie Whitney, I know nothing about Lexi. The only thing I know is that she is my mate. I would love to get to know her better and be with her.” Evan said as I looked up and noticed that he was looking at Lexi with a smile.
“Lexi, my brother and I aren’t perfect or decent men. Everything Whitney has said is the truth. We fuck around so much and drink a lot too. We are assholes who don’t care for the opposite gender and we are arrogant most of the time. But since I laid my eyes on you yesterday I no longer want to be that man any more. I want to love you for you because I don’t care that you are a witch. To me you are my mate who I want to respect and value, that’s why I will wait for you to turn eighteen even if it takes four to five years. I swear I won’t force a marking on you. All I ask is that you give me a chance in those coming years to prove how true I am to my words.” He said as tears filled her eyes.
“How romantic.” I mocked Sarcastically.
Lexi stood up and ran to him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, shocking me.
“You don’t have to say all that because I can feel your emotions and good intentions. I’m a witch and I have a few abilities of my own. Right now I don’t know how but I can tell that you aren’t lying.” She said in a cracked voice as Evan wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head against hers.
The room was quiet and everyone looked astonished over their confession.
My wolf growled loudly at me then retreated back into our subconscious.
Since the day I had called our mate a slut he was giving me a silent treatment.
I hated it so much but my ego couldn’t allow me to apologize.
I cleared my throat getting everyone’s attention then stood up.
“That’s a lovely scene and confession guys, but you seem to forget one thing. I too am your mate Lexi, you belong to me as much as you belong to Evan.” I spat.
She pulled back from his embrace and looked at me angrily.
“I don’t want to look at you or be with you.” She answered on top of her voice.
My heart arched badly over her words but I chose to keep my composure.
“You can’t decide over that because I won’t let you.” I said strongly.
She moved to approach me but Evan held her hand quickly.
“Stop, he might hurt you.” He whispered to her as I chuckled in disgust.
I was called a lot of things and did a lot of shit, but there was never a time or day I wanted to hit my mate. That time I raised my hand to scare her, not hurt her.
I was just a little upset over how she had run away from us on that street when it was clear she had known we were there. Also her tone was very disrespectful whenever she talked to me
“I’ll be okay.” She whispered then pulled her hand away and approached me standing in front of me.
“I’ll make this clear to you Ryan because I think you aren’t understanding me. I will never spend time with you, allow you to touch me in any way or even look your way.” She said in a low disrespectful tone.
I gritted my teeth then raised my hand to touch her shoulder when I heard a loud piercing sound that made my ears hurt.
I fell to my knees and covered my ears in pain screaming.
“I am a witch. I hope you never forget that.” She yelled as I continued to scream. I couldn’t hear a thing after that all I could feel was Intensified pain.
