Mated to the wrong one

Chapter 12- Secret

The kiss was amazing. I didn't want to let his lips or him go, but I suddenly heard a throat being cleared around us. I didn't want to stop and it seems neither did he, but we needed a breath anyways. Besides we weren't hidden very well. I stepped back and took a breath panting just a bit. That was amazing. I could tell that he was reeling still from it as well. I look over and see my brother standing there. Oh no. This has got to look bad. I try to save it and ignore his look of wanting to kill Jefferson.

"Hey Big Bro. Whats up?"

Jefferson steps behind me placing his hand softly on my lower back so my brother cant see. I can tell that he is just as embarrassed as I am. My cheeks tinge a bit pink and I give a big smile. My brother is holding back his wolf and I can tell as he starts to ball his hands into fists and the knuckles are turning white. Men. He is so protective of me. I shake my head and wait for him to calm himself down.

"Penelope, can I speak with you?" He almost states instead of questions me. I roll my eyes and turn around to Jefferson.

"Hey Jefferson. Ill grab you in a minute. I need to talk to my big brother."

"OK Pen's see you in a bit.

I get on my tip toes and give him a quick peck and turn back around to my brother. I turn around and this time I start to glare at him. What the hell is this all about now. He needs to quick this. I have never been able to look at a man let alone kiss one in front of my brother with out him freaking on me. He has always been this way even when I was smaller. When a little boy went to give me a hug at school he almost dive bombed and killed him to stop it. The kid never looked me in the eye again. In fact I think he still avoids me like the plague. Poor guy.

"Why are you kissing Jefferson, Penelope?"

"Well, he grabbed my arm, turned me around, and kissed ME. I just didn't stop him. It was actually quite nice."

"Penelope. Did you know Jefferson before today?"

"Nope."

"Did he let you win to get in your pants?"

"I resent that! No! How of all people, as my brother, could you say that to me! I cant believe you?!"

I started to stalk off fuming. I could feel my skin itching and Joy howling in my head. I am so sick of jealous men! This was my own brother. He has never let up on me like I am a piece of fragile glass. I was pulled back by my hand. Again? What is with these guys. I turned to look at him.

"What?"

"I just dont want you to loose your place in the next level of warrior training. If people see you together before you start training they may think that he helped you out to get you there. You took him down quite easily and trust me he is first in the class. Please be careful. Please. I cant tell you not to date him cause I know that would just make it worse and you run off to him, but just be careful."

" I will. Thank you for your concern."

He reaches over and gives me a huge hug and I make a point to hug him back. It felt good to have someone care for me so much. I had never thought about it that way. Would I loose my place if they thought I only won because of a truce with Jefferson? Crap. I needed to talk to him. I looked around while hugging my bro and spotted him over by a fire pit drinking with some other warriors.

I let go of my bro and gave him an awkward smile before punching him in the arm. I headed towards the general area of Jefferson before I mind linked him.
