Lost Soul Mates

Chapter 17

Elizabeth/Lizzie – POV

As Sarah pulls up to the house, I see Trey and Lance pacing on the porch and run down as they see us. I have Gracie asleep on me, "Trey, come here and help me. Why is she so heavy?" I start pulling Gracie towards to the door when the front door opens, Max walks out and comes to me.

"I can get her." Max says coming up behind Trey.

Trey turns and is angry. He looks at Max, "I think you have done enough right now." He says taking Gracie from me and walks up the steps bypassing Max. Max looks dejected, puts his hand in his pockets and turns to follow us in.

"I wanted to help, but I took it too far and I just thought I was helping." Max said as he followed us up the stairs and stops at the door to her room.

Trey puts her on her bed and turns for the door. He looks at Max and points to the door. I follow him and see Kyle coming down the hall. As I shut the door Trey looks Max in the eyes and steps up to him.

"What were you thinking? Did you even ask her? Or did you choose for her?" Trey is now an inch away from Max and neither one is backing down. Both stand with fists at their side and eyes going black.

"I do not think this is your decision nor your place." Max says through gritted teeth. Thankfully Charlie comes from downstairs and gets between them.

"Guys! This is not helping the situation at this point. Let's just go downstairs have lunch and calm down." Charlie says in a calm and even tone as she gently pushed them apart and pulled them downstairs. The men finally turn and go downstairs. I turn and look back at Kyle who now standing next to me.

"You alright?" Kyle says as he cups my face and rubs his thumb along my lips looking intently in my eyes. I put my hand over his and lean forward and kiss him. It starts off slowly and then becomes more urgent and when I finally come up for air, I am pinned up against the wall my arms in Kyles hair, my legs are wrapped around him. As we rest our foreheads against each other's fighting to regain our breath. I can feel my aching core against his hardness. "Well, that is a first kiss I will always remember."

I look at him through hooded eyes and smirk. "Good you can always remember me." I say putting my feet on the floor and removing my hands from his hair and stand up as he steps back.

"What does that mean? What are you trying to say?" Kyle now looking like he is lost and getting nervous.

"It means we need to take a step back and I have a pack to think of. You may have been correct from the beginning." I say to Kyle as confidently as possible.

Stunned Kyle stops me by grabbing my waist. "I am not going to make you choose. You will always be Alpha. You are an Alpha. I am still chasing you; I will not give up anything, but my title." He says holding me by my waist looking me directly in my eyes. "I love you Elizabeth. I have always loved you. From the time I was a boy, it's always been you. I am done living without you. I want you to be and do what you are, I just want to be here to watch you."

I stand looking at him still stunned. "I have loved you since I was a girl. I always wanted my mate to be you. I watched you, you were my crush." I say with a smile. "You really would give up being the King's Beta to be nothing?" I look at him questioning.

"I am not giving up anything. I am getting my life. The life I should have had the whole time. I am getting you. I just realized, if I am going to fight for anything or anyone it will now only be you." Kyle leans in and presses his lips to mine again. Just like that my resolve is gone and I am up against a wall again clinging to him for dear life. Only to hear a clearing of a throat.

"Um Lizzie, we have a situation." Sarah says as nicely as Sarah can. "Kyle, do you mind going down and making sure Max stays in the dining area or better yet can you take him to the bar? Oh, Hell the keys to the cars are in the garage in the 1st cabinet." Sarah says urgently.
