She had to leave the only life she had ever known because her father received a job offer. Eighteen-year-old Alexis Winters travels with her father and older brothers to one of the coldest places on earth, Iceland. There, she meets Arthur Curry, a m...
Closing the door, Arthur slowly walked back into the living room and sat on the couch. 'David's not human.' Arthur thought, stroking his beard. Anger and betrayal are what he felt when Michael told him about his best friend not being human. 'He knew that I was half Atlantean, but he didn't have the fucking balls to tell me what he is.' With each passing moment, his anger continued to grow. "Arthur." A gentle voice says. He looked over and noticed the worried look on her beautiful face. "What's wrong?" Alexis softly rubbed the top of his hand until he relaxed. He held her tiny hand and intertwined their fingers.
"It's something that Michael said."
"What did he say?"
"He told me that David wasn't human."
"I had no idea. How are you handling the news?"
"I'm fucking pissed that he lied to me."
"You have every right to feel that way, but David probably had his reasons for not telling you."
"So you're taking his side now!"
"No, I'm not taking anyone's side. There must be a reason why he didn't tell you. But if I were you, I would want to know what it is."
Pondering her words, Arthur realized that she was right, although he'd never tell her that. If he wanted answers, he had no choice but to talk to David; the thought of talking to him made Arthur pissed. Feeling her mate's burning rage through their mate bond, Alexis silently hoped that David and Arthur could solve their problems without them fighting. But that was only wishful thinking; she knew Arthur would probably punch David.
~The next day~
After getting off work, Arthur went to David's bar. When he arrived, he walked inside and sat at his usual table in the back. Handing out beers to all of the customers, Alexis instantly spotted Arthur. She strolled to him and handed him a beer before feeling his hand on her hip. Sending the men staring at his woman a death glare, Arthur grinned smugly when they stopped staring. They knew that she was his, and none dared to challenge him unless they wanted broken bones or a beat down.
Her face started burning when she felt him squeeze her hip. Moving his hand from off her, Alexis shot him a mock glare. "You know this counts as sexual harassment." She said with a bright blush. Arthur quietly chuckled when he saw her adorable blush. "It's not harassment if you enjoy it." He said while pulling her on his lap and kissing her. Alexis melts into the kiss. His beard was a little scratchy, but she loved it. They both were so lost in their world that they forgot where they were until they heard a loud cough. "Will you two stop before you make us all puke?" Alexis quickly pulled away from Arthur and blushed when she noticed Bryan and Michael walking over to them with a beer.
They sat at Arthur's table and drank their beer."Have you talked to David yet?" Michael asks, giving the burly man a sad smile. Taking a swig of his cold beer, Arthur only said, "No, I'll talk to him once everyone leaves." The siblings send him looks of understanding. Alexis pecked his cheek before saying, "Good luck." She soon walked away, and as she was leaving, Arthur stared at her as she swayed her hips. Once he noticed that the other men were checking her out, Arthur lowly growled. The twins both found his possessiveness of their little sister amusing. Bryan looked around the room as he was looking; he instantly noticed the mating mark on Arthur's neck. A wolf with unique black markings covered up his old tattoo.
