Every pack needs a girl

Chapter ten

Sky

I sat on the edge of the bed alone, Xavier had left to get us some food I felt ashamed.

I had gotten with another guy - another mate, was it even possible to have two?

"Hey gorgeous" Xavier said entering the room with two plates of burgers and chips, "Hope you like barbeque sauce" He added with one eyebrow raised,

"Love it, - infact my favourite snack is barbeque sauce sandwich" I replied slowly

"Ah good taste" He nodded approvingly, "So, you must realise there is a choice to be made" He took a big bite of burger as I froze to the spot,

"I.. I don't have to do.. anything" I attempted to rationalise with myself more than anything.

"Oh but you do gorgeous, it's even in the prophecy, it's me or Erik, which brother do you want?" He asked as if it were that simple, wait..

"Your brothers!?" I asked shocked,

"Mhm, sadly me and that wuss are blood"

"Then why don't you live together..?"

"We made different choices - chose different packs, he chose the one with Julian, the wussy pack whereas I chose Maverick's - well he chose me" He added smirking, "He marked me before I could commit to Julian as I had planned"

"That's terrible" I said feeling the urge to comfort him,

"Nope it's not, Maverick taught me how to harness my power way better than Julian ever could have, Maverick is strong and in turn he has made me strong unlike my weak little brother"

I had to choose between brothers?

"It's okay you can sleep on it, let us know tomorrow, then we can be bound forever, someone as powerful as you should reach her full potential which you could never do were you saddled with Erik" Taking our now empty plates and stacking them on his table he came over and kissed me lightly on the lips sending tingles through my body.

"Here's something you can wear if you like" he dropped one of his shirts to my right, "Night gorgeous, I love you" He said with a mischevious grin before retreating to the makeshift bed,

"I..." I didn't know what to say, did I love him too? I loved Erik.. but then they were both my soulmates, two halves of a whole so to speak.

Shuffling into Xavier's shirt I snuggled down into his bed overwhelmed by his scent, it was nothing like Erik's yet simliar.. it had the same basic wolfy smell I put down to their family connection, but whereas Erik's scent was sweet Xavier's was musky, dark, enticing, much like him himself..

Inhaling a lungfull of his scent I heard him chuckle "Glad I don't stink" He said with amusment clear in his voice,

"Eep you can hear my thoughts!?" I shot up in bed,

"Well your not exactly being quiet - and like I said, I'm more powerful than my brother, with you this close I can hear your thoughts, you should learn to block them if there's something you don't want enticing little me to hear"

And upon hearing that I concentrated on imagining a wall to prevent him hearing me, so I could think in privacy

"Aww I was having fun, Ah well it was nice while it lasted, anyway, nighty night" He said in a mocking sad voice,

"Night.." I said safely falling into dreams of my own.
