"Odd isn't it?" Tristan finally spoke. He had been pacing about Ryder's office for at least 10 minutes starting to say something then saying nothing.
"What's odd Tris?" He sighed watching his brother rake his hand through his sandy hair. There were many differences between Ryder and Tristan, Tristan was about 3 inches shorter, he was built like a surfer and had the attitude of one, Tristan's face was more open and he smiled a hell of a lot more than Ryder, they did however have the same eyes, their mothers eyes.
"You've waited how long for your mate and she just happens to have the Goddesses voice...." Tristan trailed off as he took seat on the leather sofa.
"Take that up with the Goddess." Ryder smiled at his younger brother though there was no amusement in his tone. His brother was right, he had been thinking the same. All these years and then suddenly his mate has the voice of the Goddess and is human something wasn't sitting right.
"Doesn't it make you nervous that she can order you about? You're the Alpha, it's not supposed to be like that." Tristan questioned him moving forward so his elbows rested on his knees.
"She can't." Ryder told him.
"I know, I know you're the Alpha, blah, blah but with the voice of-" Tristan was rolling his eyes as he spoke.
"No I mean she can't order me about, Goddess knows she's tried but her commands don't seem to have the same effect on me." It was Ryder's turn to rake his hand through his hair.
"But they have an effect?" Trust Tristan to notice that, he hadn't meant to let that quite slip.
"Yes." Was all Ryder said in response, this was not really a conversation he wanted to have with his kid brother.
"Which is...." His brother stood motioning his hands for Ryder to continue. Ryder bit down on the inside of his mouth. "Ryder, I'm your brother." Ryder clenched his jaw. "I'm not gonna let this go so spit it out."
"Fine, it turns me on." Ryder mumbled. It was silent for a moment and Ryder wondered whether his brother had heard him but then he burst out laughing.
"My brother the sub!"
"Not like that Tris, it's hard to explain-"
"I bet it is." His brother winked at him and Ryder growled loudly, he may be his brother, but Ryder was still his Alpha and he would show him respect. "Relax Ryder I am just pulling your tale."
"It's just no one has ever spoken to me with the same authority as I talk to others and I don't just mean Alpha to Alpha it's like she is equal, or the same or hell I don't know. When I command her to do anything, she feels the same I can see it in her eyes." He knew he was babbling but he had no idea what he was feeling when he was around her. Sure, there was the bond and it was stronger than he could have imagined but there was something else, something deeper.
"She challenges you, not many can." Tristan shrugged; Ryder wanted to argue that it was more than that but kept his mouth shut. "It's just weird that she's human, I always assumed you'd be mated with a female Alpha." Ryder growled at his sibling. "I meant no offence, I like her, well from what I can tell in the whole two seconds you allowed me to be around her."
"Tris-"
"I get it you want her to yourself but I gotta spend some time with the sister-in-law at some point." Tristan laughed. "Where is she anyway?"
"With M." Ryder answered.
"How is she dealing with, well, everything?" Tristan asked with genuine concern in his tone.
"Honestly I don't know. I know that the bond is definitely working, she seems to be accepting everything I am telling her and shit Tristan you should have seen her in the meeting with Radolph, it was sexy as hell." Ryder growled at himself. "I was in a fucking meeting and all I could think about was how hot I found it that she was calling out another Alpha in front of me and how much I wanted to....." Ryder didn't finish his frustrated sentence it was obvious where it was going. "
"You know you're gonna have to mate her sooner rather than later, it sounds like your wolf is already barely hanging on if you are being turned on in a meeting."
Ryder had thought the same thing, but it wasn't that easy she was human, did she even want to be mated with him for the rest of her life? He felt a sense of dread over come him at the thought she may reject him. His brother was right though Magnar was pining for her every second that they were a part she had only been in his life five minutes and already he craved her like the most additive narcotic known to man or beast.
"What did Radolph want anyway?" Tristan changed the subject something Ryder was grateful for.
"His mate's been taken and he wants our help to get her back."
"Half a story?" Tristan may be a pain in the arse but he wasn't an idiot.
"His original plan was to help the rogues take the pack." Ryder laughed there was no way that little plan would have worked.
"So he had a death wish?" Tristan scoffed. "I'm assuming you've agreed to help."
"You can never have too many favours owed."
Tristan walked over the to the liquor cabinet and grabbed two glasses pouring a bourbon for each of them. He handed a glass to Ryder the two of them swirling the golden liquid. Ryder took a sip letting the bourbon burn a welcome warmth down to his chest.
"You know you're gonna have to show her." Tristan eyed him over the rim of his glass as he took a mouthful of his own drink.
"Tris-"
"She's needs to know what it means to be your mate. If you don't show her the dungeons she will find them on her own." Ryder knew Tristan was right but he didn't want to see the disappointment in her eyes when she found out the kind of person he really was. To be an Alpha you had to do unspeakable things to people to ensure the safety of the pack and now he has his Luna, his violence would only increase to protect her, to protect their future pups.
"Just a few more days."
"The longer you hide it the harder it will be on her." Tristan stated patting Ryder on the shoulder. "You're her mate Ryder, it might take time but she will understand and she'll stand by you." "If she was a wolf maybe but as a human? Our world is so different to hers."
"She is human with the voice of the Goddess, she isn't a normal human, you need to trust that the Goddess sent you a mate who will love all of you."
"Wise words kid." He smiled at his brother.
"Well some one has to be." Tristan winked downing the rest of his drink. "Hope I'm not as whipped when I find my mate."
"Tristan you're my brother but I will kick your arse." Ryder finished his drink also. "Can you watch over her."
"Always."
"I don't trust Radolph I will help him get his mate back but I saw the way his son looked at Alina, he wants her and she is mine promise me brother."
"I will protect her Ryder."
