Evan’s p. o. v
The whispers and glares we were receiving while walking into the pack house were noticeable. We were intruders to them after all, even though we knew Whitney.
“Where is your room?” Ryan asked Lexi softly.
“Over here.” She answered then picked up her pace as we followed behind.
“Here.” She pointed at a large door happily then touched the handle to pull it open when it opened on its own and August stepped out.
“What the fuck!” Ryan growled and moved in a split second grabbing his neck.
I too was pissed off at how disrespectful he was acting. It was our mate’s room yet he came out of it as if it was his own.
“Do you have a fucking death wish.” He asked loudly.
“Ryan.” Lexi called softly.
“Stay out of it.” I warned her.
“He is hurting him.” She said in concern.
“No he isn’t, that grip on him is weak. If he wanted to hurt him badly, he would have used his full strength.” I answered seriously.
“Do you know what rank I am?” August asked in a labored breath.
“Oh I see, just because you are a Beta you think you are above us isn’t it?” He asked with detest.
“Not that I think that way. I know.” August answered and that was the last straw to make Ryan snap.
Ryan punched his face hard, sending him stumbling and falling to the ground.
“Well Mr Beta, how about you take us down?. You are the weakest asshole I have seen so far with a Beta rank. You are even below our own Beta’s strength and abilities. Your pheromones are pathetic too. You can’t command or force us into submission because our wolf’s will is stronger than yours. All this talk about this territory having only the strongest and best warriors is trash, because you it’s beta isn’t all that.” He spat.
His truth was harsh but there were facts that even I couldn’t deny, he was weak for his rank.
August stood up with a bleeding nose and looked at us. His wolf was the one in control but that didn’t scare us.
“Finally we get to meet the other asshole side of him.” Ryan mocked.
I could see a bloody fight easily breaking out because our wolves weren’t happy over the shit happening too.
I moved closer and stood in between them.
“I’m glad you are in control, maybe you can talk some sense into your damn human.” I said in a respectful tone.
“I see no problem with how he acted.” His wolf answered in a deeper voice.
“Arrogant aren’t we?” Ryan mocked again.
“Let’s put it this way. If Ryan and I were to come from your mate’s bedroom, would you easily forgive us and brush it off?” I asked seriously.
He kept quiet for a few seconds then murmured something.
“Even if his actions were wrong, you had no right to call us weak or mock us.” He answered in a low growl.
“Fair enough, Ryan was wrong to act that way, but in his defense he felt disrespected. I felt that way too.” I said honestly.
He shifted his gaze to Lexi and looked at her lazily.
“I still don’t understand what he sees in such a brat who doesn’t give off any sex appeal.”He said.
“That’s it!” Ryan spat then moved forward in a second as I did.
We both lifted our fists to strike him down when he fell to the ground.
His face went pale and his veins were popping out of his forehead and neck. He was trembling and a trial of blood was running down his nose and on the side of his lip.
We quickly turned and looked at Lexi who had her right hand stretched forward and wrapped into a fist. She was muttering something silently and the aura around her was getting dangerous.
As much as I wanted to watch the bastard suffer, killing him wasn’t an option.
“Lexi.” I called softly.
She looked at me blankly then dropped her hand.
The beta took in a deep breath and coughed badly.
“I never liked him anyway.” She spat then walked past him and got into the room closing the door.
“August.” I whispered, getting his attention.
His eyes were slightly red and he was still trembling.
“Don’t ever mess with her because she will kill you slowly and painfully.” I said then walked to the door and touched the handle.
“Did you not know what she is?. She is a witch and we are pretty damn proud of her.” Ryan said then moved to where I was with laughter.
I smirked and opened the door walking in.
“Can this day get any better?” He asked happily.
“You sure did enjoy your little fit of anger.” I teased.
“Of course I did.” He answered then looked at Lexi who was laying on the bed facing the roof quietly.
“Are you still upset with his false words?” I asked in concern while I moved to the bed and got on, laying beside her.
“He said I had no sex appeal. I might be naive but I understand exactly what that means.” She answered in a low tone.
Ryan shut the door and went to the other side of the bed, getting on and laying next to her.
“And you believed him?” He asked.
“Isn’t it true?” She asked back sadly.
“Lexi, if you really have no sex appeal you wouldn’t be turning us on. You don’t seem to notice this but whenever we kiss you we get excited and the more we touch you we easily get aroused.” I answered.
“Aroused?” She asked in a small voice then looked at me.
“Here.” Ryan said then grabbed her hand and moved it to his dick.
She quickly sat upright with widened eyes.
“You make this place erect.” He said then sat upright as well.
She quickly covered her face with her hands as I chuckled softly and sat upright.
“There is nothing to be shy about.” I whispered and grabbed her hands, pulling them down.
“You really are cute.” Ryan said then grabbed her by the waist and pulled her on his lap, her back towards him.
“She’s also sexy.” I said softly then leaned in and kissed her lips as she responded and kissed me back.
