Emma had stayed her room the rest of the night. Yes she was avoiding the happy couple at all cost but who could blame her. How was she to know that she would have so many weird feelings about a guy she had never met before? Her cell phone rung and she reached to get it. “Hello?” She asked without really looking at the screen. “Emma, you answered my call?” The sound of her good friend Adam sounded in her ear. She could also hear music blaring in the back ground. “Adam? Where are you and why would you think I wouldn’t answer your call?”
He laughed. “Andrea told me that your sister was in town. I figured you’d be busy”
“So why did you call then?”
He chuckled. “Because I miss my good friend.”
“And….”
He sighed. “And I need a place to bunk for the night.”
“What’s up with you and your brother?”
“He has some girls over and…”
“Okay, enough said. Sure you can crash with me tonight.”
“You’re so awesome.”
“Whatever. I’ll leave the window up so don’t get to wasted that you break your neck and Adam…Don’t try to feel me up like last time.”
“Will you please let me live that one down? I was drunk.”
“Sure.” The line went dead as she laughed to herself.
Alex POV
Alex had just climbed the steps when he heard her talking to someone. “So why did you call then?”
He listened intently when he heard this. A part of him was curious as to who she was talking to. He didn’t know why or rather he wasn’t ready to accept why.
“And….What’s up with you and your brother...Okay, enough said. Sure you can crash with me tonight… Whatever. I’ll leave the window up so don’t get to wasted that you break your neck and Adam…Don’t try to feel me up like last time.”
He heard her chuckle. He felt angered that she was about to let some guy in. His wolf was going mad. He began pacing. So she had a guy in her life. Why did that irk him so? Because she’s your damn mate! He sighed moving onto his room and closing the door. Victoria was still down stairs talking to her parents. He decided he’d just go take a cold shower. He needed to calm his insane wolf because he could feel him trying to take over. He swung open the door and paused for a moment expecting to see Emma on the other side but she wasn’t her door stared back at him. He went in turning on the shower and removing his clothing. He showered, enjoying the feel of the water against him. He found himself thinking of Emma and whether or not this baby thing would work. He wanted it to work but his reasons had changed a little and he wasn’t ready to address them just yet. When he was through he wrapped a long towel around his waist and used another to dry his hair and body. Looking in the mirror he didn’t see his wolf looking back at him. He was in the middle of doing this when the door swung open. He almost laughed at Emma as she danced to the music pouring out of her I pod. She had a towel slung over her shoulder, as she did her moves. She was definitely sexy but somehow he felt like she didn’t know it. She closed the door and soon her eyes opened and she let out a screech when she realized him standing there in just a towel.
“Oh my goodness! “ She put a hand over her eyes and tried to fumble with the door.
“Emma, its fine, I’m not completely naked.”
“Your still indecent and….you know what? Just help me open the damn door.”
“Sure it’s…”His arm lightly brushed hers as he moved to open the door for her. Bad move. Her scent was filling him up and he was sure he was losing control.
Emma’s POV
“She was turned on and all she saw was a well toned, dampened chest and a towel covering what looked like a nice….Focus Emma. You do not need to be thinking about this while he’s standing there. Plus he’s your sister’s husband for crying out loud. She felt like an idiot keeping her hands over her eyes. She heard him chuckle. Was he really laughing at her in this awkward moment? How could he not feel slightly embarrass. Oh yea, maybe it was due to the fact that he looked like a Greek god.
She felt his arm brush hers then he went still. His skin felt damp against her and she could feel the little goose bumps rise on her skin. He was so quiet. “Alex?”
He still didn’t move. She suddenly felt him turning her around, then his hands removing hers from her face. “Alex, what are you….” He could feel anxiety rolling off of her as well as lust. He moved in close. “What are you doing?” Her voice seemed slightly off but he was too focused on her luscious lips to give a damn if he was frightening her. She just didn’t understand what was happening but she will soon.
Emma POV
He put his hands on the door next to the side of her head . She could feel her heart beating unbelievably fast. He was leaning in so close now. “Look at me Emma.”
“Why?”
“Please just do it. I need to see something.”
“Like what?”
“Please.” She doesn’t know why but a part of her was drawn to his voice. She looked into his eyes and in that moment her world shifted. It was amazingly shocking to see how the gold flickered there in his eyes. He seemed as shocked as her with all the emotions that were floating between them. What she did feel and was certain of was that she suddenly belonged.
“I knew it.”
“Knew what?
“That you’re the one.”
“I have no idea what you talking about.”He suddenly realized that Victoria had said she wasn’t a wolf but was it possible that no one bother to tell her about them at all?
“Do you know what a mate is?”
She shrugged. “You mean like a soul mate?”
He nodded. “A mate is someone who is meant for you. They are your other half and will do anything for you. As your mate I will die for you and kill anyone who wishes to cause you harm.” She could feel his breath on her face now. “I know you don’t understand all of this Emma but trust me.”
“I don’t…”
“Trust me with your heart.” He kissed her then and she closed her eyes savoring the moment in his arms. She had never felt a drive towards a man like this. Could Alex be the prince charming she’d been waiting for all this time?
He pulled away, his head resting against hers. “We can’t.” she said breathlessly.
“Why not, Faith has destined you to me.” What was he talking about?
“But you’re also with my sister. I don’t want anyone to get hurt.” She moved away placing one hand firmly on his chest. It felt nice just to touch him. He grabbed her hand and kissed her finger tips. At that moment they both heard a board creak. Alex let out a curse before pecking her on the lips. She turned and went into her room shutting him out. He exited the bathroom still in his towel to find Victoria pulling off her heels. She sighed. “I am so exhausted.”
“Me too.” Alex replied as he pulled on his boxers and a pair of sweat pants. He climbed into bed and closed his eyes. He couldn’t get Emma out of his mind. She was his mate. He felt the bed dip and Victoria pressing her lips to his. He didn’t move a muscle. He felt his body rejecting her touch and the feel of her lips on his just didn’t seem right. “I’m going to take a shower babe.”
He nodded not wanting to speak. He just watched as she disappeared into the bathroom.
