My sister's boyfriend

Chapter two

"I need to go to the bathroom," I said immediately. Mom gives me her 're you kidding me' look. "I'm not feeling to well," I add. Mom rolls her eyes but nods. "I'll go to make sure she gets there," Jax grabs my arm and we walk out.

"What's wrong?" Jax asks once out of ear shot.

I Look into his eyes. He has been with me through everything. I confide in him all the time. He knows me better than anyone even Gran. I have to tell him.

"Alexa's boyfriend is my mate." I close my eyes.

Silence.....

"How long have you know?" He asked and I opened my eyes looking at my watch. "Like 2 or 3 minutes," I say.

More silence.

"We can make an excuse to leave," Jax suggests. I shake my head no.

"Mom will just make us come back in a day or two," I tell him. He frowns, "isn't it painful to see them together? How is your wolf?" he looks concerned. "I'll manage and my wolf is silent," I shrug with my answer. He sighs.

#*#*#*#*#*# Back in the dining room.

"Jax sit next to your dad and Hanna can sit next to Jax." Mom smiled.

On my right is Jax, on my left is Gran, and across from me was Carter. That was going to be one fun dinner, I decided.

'What's wrong?' Gran asked through mindlink. 

I told her too.

'How can he just sit there with your sister then? Mate bonds are supposed to be strong. He shouldnt act like you aren't here,' Gran replied. I bit my lip, an ache in my heart panged.

I don't want to be rejected.

I pick up my fork and take a small bite of green beans.

Alexa abruptly drops her fork on the plate with a clatter. Her face holds a mega watt smile.

"I have some news everybody!!!" she squeals.

Evryone stares at her.

"Carter and I have been together for a while,"she starts.

"Three months," Gran muttered.

I don't like where this is going.

"And we're going to finish the mating process and get married," she and mom squeals. Dad congratulates Carter.

Gran leans forward grabbing the bottle of wine, "I'm going to need a lot more of this," Gran said.

Mom gives Alexa a side hug, "I'm so glad ONE of my daughters is succeeding in life."

Jax glares at Mom but she doesn't notice.

Alexa looks at me and smirks.

A look that shows that she has something better. Something I want. She doesn't know Carter is my mate but it just shows she's better.

Mom looks at me, "why can't you be more li-" I stand up.

I kiss Gran's cheek.

Mom looks surprised, "where do you think you're going?" She asks.

"I'm not hungry and I have no desire to listen how I should be more like my slutty sister," I look at Jax. "I'll talk to you later. I'm going to Fabor's." he nods and I run out. I hear my sister's fake cry about me calling her a slut and my mother hollering about me to come back to APOLOGIZE to my sister.

I roll my eyes and run down the street.

I call one of my friends, Fabor but her phone goes to voicemail.

I walk downtown to my art studio. I open the door to the complex.

The doorman smiles warmly at me. He reminds me of Gramps. I smile back and open the elevator. Just as it's about to close and man shouts, "hold it please."

I stop the doors and ge enters.

The man I wolf by smell. He had black hair and Brown puppy eyes. He smiles.

He holds a box under one arm and reaches his hand toward me.

"Thanks. My names Ben Haddix."

I shake his hand smiling a little.

Haddix like Carter.

"I'm the future alphas brother. My older brother's name is Carter."

"Carter is my sister's boyfriend."

Realization dawns on his face and he nods. "You must be Hanna." I nod and he says "you don't really look like Alexa."

I look at my feet. "I know I'm not pretty like her but-" "Are you kidding me? You're gorgeous," Ben shakes his head. "I don't really go for blondes."

I smile at him.

"Here," he grabs a post it note out of his pocket and writes something. He hands it to. I look at it. A phone number.

"In case you ever need anything," he tells me.

I give him another smile and he gives me a genuine smile back.

I can't seem to stop smiling around him.

The elevator dings and I get out.

I unlock my studio door and take of my jacket. I throw off my black combat boots and sigh.

Looks like I'll be here a while.
