The Luna laughs. “You can’t keep your hands off her long enough to train her. Let your brother train her.”
Darius glares at Markus. “We will talk about it.”
The Alpha claps his hands. “Excellent, he can train Sophia, while I train you for your new role.”
Darius looks at his father. “What new role?”
Markus smiles at him. “We wanted to save it and tell you together. You are going to be my Beta.”
Darius actually softens a little. “Really, you want me to be your Beta?”
He laughs, I like his laugh. I need to stop those thoughts, they aren’t good for anyone. “Who else did you think I was going to pick?”
Darius shrugs. “I don’t know. I honestly didn’t think you would pick me.”
The Luna claps her hands. “Let’s take this little party inside. We are starting to get lookers.” She takes her husband’s hand and leads our little troop in the house.
Darius keeps us back a little. “You didn’t tell me that you met my brother before.”
“I didn’t know the boy’s name. How was I supposed to know it was your brother?”
He pulls me a little closer. “I don’t like the way he keeps looking at you.”
“I am your mate, remember.” I hate to reassure him. I never wanted to be his mate.
“I love you.” He kisses my neck. “Just remember that ok.”
“I remember Darius.” I take his hand and lead him behind the rest of the group. I know he is going to take his insecurities out on my body later. When we come into the room we see the Luna and Alpha cuddled up together and Markus sitting opposite them.
“So, how was training, son?” The Alpha asks as he strokes the Luna’s arm.
Darius takes us to a couch and pulls me to his lap. I see Markus catch sight of us, before he answers his father. “Intense. A lot to go through, but I am grateful for it. I think it will make me a better Alpha. Alpha Luther really puts a lot of pressure on the importance of being a good Alpha. I really learned a lot there.”
The Luna asks the next question. “Are you excited to see if you find your Luna tomorrow?” She seems giddy.
He looks right at me. “Yeah, I am.”
Darius must have caught it because he stands taking me in his arms. “I think we are going to let you guys catch up.” He walks out carrying me.
As soon as we are out of earshot he whispers in my ears. “He was looking at you again.” He growls.
“Maybe he just can’t wait to have a mate like us.” Yeah, he is not going to buy that.
“Not even. He wants you.” He grumbles.
“I think you think a bit too highly of me.” I counter. I snuggle into his arms because that usually calms him down a little.
He chuckles. “Not going to work this time, little mate. You are going to have to work a little harder.” He is grumpy though, even though there is a chuckle. I can tell that he is not happy that Markus was looking at me. Markus is going to have to stop doing that. Like I said it isn’t good for anyone.
He opens our door with a little kick and throws me on the bed. I hear the door slam shut. “You are mine. I am not letting anyone take you away from me.” He attacks my body just like I knew he would.
