Forced to Marry The Future Alpha

Chapter 12-Visit

As I walked closer to the two brothers, I saw Jonathan get off the fighting box, walking to me.

But before he reached me, Donovan beat him to it, and wrapped an arm around my waist. Jonathan slowed his pace and stood in front of us.

I blushed guiltily, because Jonathan had to see his mate beside his brother. I looked at Jonathan and his face was red too, not from embarrassment but from anger and jealousy.

Donovan was clearly unaware of the cold air and teased, "Hey, Johnny, stop looking so embarrassed! You're just jealous I have a wonderful woman like Celena," Donovan winked at me. I wanted to run and stand by Jonathan's side but decided against it and stayed still. Jonathan looked up to his brother, huffed, and walked away.

Jonathan

Arghhhh!!!! I was furious. I ran up to my room, slammed the door shut and went into the shower.

Why does our relationship have to be like this?

Why can't Celena and I show affection to each other in public?

I hated Donovan. For taking Celena. I wanted to grab her away from his hold and pull her to my chest. She was mine.

My wolf growled in agreement. But Donovan was my brother, I thought to myself again. I mentally shook my head. I was having crazy thoughts because of Celena. Oh Celena, what are you doing to me?

After I cleaned myself, I collapsed on my bed and shut my eyes, wishing Celena was beside me, reading her stories until I fell asleep.

Finally, I rested.

But it was one of the worst sleeps I've ever had.

Celena

"Hm, what's wrong with him? Can't even accept that his brother is in a relationship while he isn't." Donovan said and shrugged his shoulders.

"Anyway, nice job up there," I said, pulling back a bit. He may be my future Alpha, but he was sweaty. Donovan let go of me and scratched his head. "Ahhaa, nice job losing, you mean," he said in defeat.

"No, you were great up there," I answered. For a second, I wanted to ask him to fight me and see if he could beat me down. I was trained by the Alpha King... I shook my head. He had enough of a fight, maybe another time I could surprise him. Plus, I don't think fighting him would be the best idea.

"Hey, I think you should go take a shower, you stink!" I said playfully. His grin returned and he pulled me against him. "How dare you say that to the future Alpha! Disrespectful!" He let me go and we had our moment of laughter. Finally we parted and I decided to go to a kitchen to get some snacks before I went back to my room.

Back in my room, I changed into exercise wear and started some stretches, and slowly got into lunges.

As I was into my push-ups, the door knocked. I stood up and took the face cloth next to me and wiped my face as I opened the door to reveal a smiling Donovan.

"Hello Celena, how are you?" He said, looking at me.

"Good, just working out a little," I said, as I reached to get my water bottle on the table beside me.

"Nice," he said, then looked over my body. "And I thought you were one of those ladies that just sat around and look pretty,"

We both laughed. "I am," I said, and he answered, "Doesn't look like it,"

"So what's up?" I asked. "Would you like to come in?"

He shook his head politely. "I came here to ask you something," he cleared his throat. "Would you like to have lunch with me?"

"Sure, I have no problem with that," I said. It was just lunch, and I'll be back as soon as I can.

"Great, we're going to Drac's restaurant. It's a casual place. I'll meet you downstairs," Donovan said, and then he opened his mouth and moved forward, as if he had something more to say, and then decided against it and walked out the door with a nod.

"Wait!" I said, "Does Jonathan know?"

He nodded. "I mentioned it briefly to him in his room before I came here. He's going to be the only person in the house besides the maids because the other members are training outdoors today. Did you want to talk to him?"

"Ah... no. I was just wondering. Thank you Donovan," I smiled and closed the door behind me.

I looked at the walk in closet and started finding an outfit.
