In Between Two Alphas

Chapter 43

Note: I give a small (very small) insight of what is going on with Dylan. This chapter is mainly a small sneak peak of their future.  

Chapter 43

Two months later…

“Happy Birthday!” I yelled, jumping into Jared’s arms and making him stumble back.

“Easy,” Layton said, coming behind me and slightly pulling me against his chest. I smiled when I saw the jealousy in his eyes. It was something that would never go away with him.

“Thanks, Cass,” Jared said, giving me a squeeze before letting me go.

Layton drastically relaxed behind me, making me roll my eyes at his antics.

“Everything’s ready,” Tyler said, coming to join our little group.

It was Jared’s birthday, and planning for it had been huge. Initially, Jared only wanted something small. He wanted a celebration between friends, and to have Zev and some of the guys over.

Surprisingly, Micah and Jared had grown close. It was nice to see the packs really getting along. They weren’t being careful, or holding back, like they had been a few months ago.

“Are Blake and Christy almost here?” Layton asked Jared.

He pulled me along to one of the tables, which was nicely decorated, thanks to some of the younger She-Wolves in the pack.

Jared and Tyler pulled out a chair each and joined us, knowing Layton was going to start questioning them to make sure everything was ready. Soon enough, Nick and Jackson had joined our table as well.

“Christy called me. They’re about an hour away. They both need to get ready, but I think we’re set to go by seven,” Jared said, turning to look at Tyler, who nodded in agreement.

“It’s five. We should also be getting ready for the party,” Layton said.

I yelped in surprise when Layton picked me up from the ground and carried me over his shoulder.

“Put me down!” I complained, slapping his back.

The guys were cheering him on, and that only made Layton ignore me. He carried me over his shoulder the entire way. I stopped slapping his back, because every time I did, Layton would tap my bottom.

The more I squirmed in his arms, the tighter his hold was. It wasn’t helpful that his hands kept roaming closer to my inner thighs. I was well aware that he was doing that on purpose.

“Quite a show,” I said once he put me down on the ground, which wasn’t until we made it to our room.

“You’re welcome,” Layton said, smirking at me teasingly.

“You’re such a little boy,” I sighed, going over to the bed to make sure Layton hadn’t moved my clothes.

“Do you really think that?” Layton asked.

I blushed furiously when I saw his eyes roaming over my body, while he was tugging on the hem of his shirt. “I can show that I’m not a little boy,” he said, coming over to me.

“No need,” I said, barely missing him from catching me in his arms.

“Maybe next time then,” he grinned.

Alpha Blake, from Imperial Pack, was going to visit. Christy, Jared’s twin sister, had found her mate a few months ago. No one more than Layton had been more surprised that Christy, who had gone Rogue years ago, was mated to Alpha Blake.
