I Hit His Balls By Accident—Now This Taken Alpha's Obsessed With Marking Me?!

13 Chapter 13 Tristan " I mean that once she learns her place as an omega , she'll be serving me , and by extension , my family . " I raise the knife and slowly release my hold on him . " Giving her anything but the utmost respect is an offense not just to her , but to the ruling family of this pack . " It's a lie . Or at least, a half truth spun to cover my slip . Brandon raises his hands in defeat . " Chill , man , " he says . " I didn't know . " " Now you do . " I look at the twins . They lower their eyes . Good . Message received . Brandon stands , flicking a twig off his shirt .

The fear is gone , replaced by his usual curiosity . " So , what does Siennan think about the little omega coming to live with you ? " A sharp question . " I have Siennan's full support , " I lie smoothly . " Aria shifted on my property . She came to me for help . That makes her my responsibility . " The logic holds . Why else would I feel this insane , protective urge ? The need to shield her , to keep Brandon's hands off her ? It's just Alpha instinct . Protecting the vulnerable . It's biology . Nothing more . It can't be anything more .

' As future Alpha , it's my duty , " I add , trying to convince myself as much as them . " Aria needs guidance . She's useless to the pack otherwise . " ' Still , " Tyler says , crossing his arms . " It's weird . Having another woman under your direct protection until you leave for the City ? Siennan's okay with that ? " shoot him a glare that shuts him up instantly . ' Siennan is my future mate . She's not threatened by an Omega servant . " say it with conviction , forcing down the memory of Siennan's jealous eyes in my bedroom this morning . We have a plan . A pact .

A little turbulence won't change that . Thomas , who has been silent until now , finally speaks . He's the quiet one . The thinker . What makes you so sure ? " he asks softly . " That you and Siennan will be mates ? " The air in the clearing shifts . The crickets seem to stop chirping . I narrow my eyes . " Excuse me ? " " You can't choose your mate , Tristan , " Thomas says , his voice laced with a familiar , quiet pain . " Fate chooses . " He's thinking of Kara . His ex .

The girl he loved with everything he had , until she found her true mate in the Spring Creek pack and left him without a backward glance . Chapter 13 It broke him . " You and Kara were together for three months , " I say , my voice hard . " Siennan and I have been building this for years . " " I loved her . " Thomas whispers . " But it wasn't enough . " " It will be enough for us . " I insist . " Siennan and I chose each other . We made a promise . We are the two strongest members of this generation . We make sense . " " You'd go against fate ? " Thomas asks .

" If the Moon Goddess has other plans ? " " I make my own plans , " I say . It sounds arrogant . Maybe it is . But I refuse to be a slave to some mystical lottery . I chose Siennan . She chose me . That loyalty matters more than pheromones . I stand tall , daring them to push further . " I will do whatever is necessary to strengthen this pack . Siennan stands by my side . End of discussion . " Brandon studies me for a long moment . His expression is unreadable , stripped of his usual joking demeanor . Finally , he nods . " You're the future Alpha , " he says quietly .

" Whatever you say goes . " He steps back , signaling the end of the challenge . Tyler clears his throat , breaking the tension . " So ... how about those beers ? " he asks with a weak chuckle . " You guys go , " I say , turning away toward the dark treeline . " I'm done for the night . " ( 0 ) admin
