"I thought you could smell that I do" I said teasingly, he smiled happiness clear across his face and I pressed my lips to his. My whole body started thrumming in need, I pulled him closer to me desperately wanting to feel every part of him on me.
He made a small growling sound as he moved us to the bed climbing on top of me kissing me deeply running his hands down my body massaging my breasts. He pulled out of the kiss just as I was starting to get a little light-headed and started kissing down my neck, I tipped my head to the side wanting him to kiss lower, he was so close to where I wanted his mouth. Suddenly my body started to throb as his mouth touched where his mark was on my neck, I gripped my hands into his hair holding him there as my body started to bump through the gears as he licked and kissed it.
I pulled his head away quickly as it became too much, "Enough, Oh god that's enough of that" I panted looking into his beautiful green eyes. He looked at me amused as his hands travelled down to the buttons of my jeans, I ran my hands down his hard chest gripping the bottom of his t-shirt pulling it up slowly over his head. God he was so beautiful! His chest and ab's were perfectly toned, he shivered slightly, I gripped his ass pulling him closer as I ground against his erection making him moan quietly.
Just as he had undone the buttons on my jeans his phone started to ring, I pulled out of the kiss and smiled. "Ignore it" he said as he crashed his lips back to mine.
I giggled against his lips and pushed him back, "It could be important Jayden" I said watching his face grow frustrated.
He sighed and sat up pulling out his phone, he glared at it before snapped it open and putting it to his ear, "This better be important Scott, I'm busy" he said sounding annoyed. I couldn't help but laugh, he looked so pissed. "No man, it's ok she's here with me, yeah come on over, I guess I should explain what happened before the meeting tonight" he said running a hand through his hair. "Ok see you in a bit then" he said nodding, he snapped his phone shut and groaned, "Scott's coming over, I'm sorry" he said tucking my hair behind my ear.
I took his hand and pulled him back down on the bed, "It's ok, I'll let you make it up to me later" I said teasingly.
"Oh god Brook, you're killing me! I don't think I can cope with this" he said almost pleadingly as he wrapped his arms around me, what the hell does that mean?
"Cope with what?" I asked confused, oh shit he means cope with me! He thinks I'm too much trouble and he doesn't want to be with me! I started to panic, he pressed his body to mine.
"Cope with this" he said running his hand down my body, hitching my leg over his hip, "I want you so bad, I swear I've never wanted anything more in my life, it's almost painful, and it's all the damn time" he whined. Oh thank goodness for that!
I let out a breath I didn't even realise I was holding and snuggled closer to him, "God Jayden, I thought, oh never mind" I said pulling his mouth to mine kissing him deeply.
He pulled away after a couple of minutes and looked towards the window, "Scott's here" he said pouting at me slightly.
"How do you know?" I asked glancing towards the window but I couldn't see out, all I could see was sky.
He smiled "I can hear his car" he said shrugging, wow this shifter stuff really is crazy! He was looking at me lustfully inching his head back towards mine, I turned my head away at the last second so he kissed my cheek.
"Go let Scott in" I said giggling slightly, he really did look frustrated! He groaned and climbed off of the bed. Wow it felt like it would kill me to wait too!
He held out a hand to help me off of the bed, "Come downstairs with me, I need to tell Scott what's going on ready for the meeting tonight" he said frowning slightly. We started heading down the hall hand in hand.
"So all of your pack will be at the meeting tonight?" I asked curiously.
He nodded "Yeah don't worry, they'll love you" he said smiling at me proudly.
I stopped, holy shit I was going too? "I'm coming to the meeting?" I asked shocked.
He smiled "Well of course you are, you're my mate shortie, when I claim Alpha, you'll be Alpha female, they'll want to meet you, you've already met a lot of the younger members of the pack at Seth's this afternoon" he said shrugging.
I gasped, holy crap I wasn't an Alpha female! I pulled him to a stop, "Jayden seriously, I can't be this big strong woman that you think I am, I'm not an Alpha female! Honestly crap you're just gonna embarrass yourself if I go and get introduced to your pack" I said horrified.
He smiled and shook his head "Brook, even if you were just human like I thought, you would still be my Alpha female, we're mated, I gave you that title when I marked you, but on top of that you are already that through blood anyway so you have two claims on it" he said looking at me amused.
"Jayden, I don't think I can go, what if I freak out seeing all those shifters?" I asked starting to panic at the thought of sixty families worth of huge wolves.
He shook his head and pressed his forehead to mine, "I want you to come with me, nothing will hurt you I promise, I need to introduce you to my pack, but I guess if you really don't want to go you don't have to" he said running his fingers through my hair tenderly. Oh jeez he is so sweet! He wants me to go so I can't really say no can I?
I sighed and grabbed his hand making us start walking again, "Come on then let's go talk to Scott" I said rolling my eyes. Wow I am already under the thumb I can feel how whipped I am! We walked down the stairs just as Scott let himself in.
He smiled at me warmly "Hey Brooklyn" he said suddenly his face turned hard, "Shit what happened to your face?" he growled.
"It's fine Scott, don't worry, no Mel?" I asked looking back at the door.
"No I needed to talk to Jay" he said nodding at him, they gave each other the man hug thing and Jayden looked really happy probably because Scott seemed to have forgiven him for mating me.
"So there's a meeting been called for tonight, some announcement to do with your mate" Scott said his eyes flicking to me for a second.
Jayden nodded "Yeah man, a lot's happened since I left Seth's, let's go sit down and I'll tell you" he said motioning for him to the lounge.
"Um I'll be in the kitchen then" I said a little uncomfortable, I mean I wasn't in the pack and they obviously wanted to talk about me.
"Brook, this involves you too, besides I'd rather not have you out of my sight at the moment"
Jayden said looking at me a little pleadingly. I smiled and took his hand again ignoring Scott looking at our intertwined fingers, with a confused expression across his face.
"I thought you two were being friends" Scott said as we got to the lounge, Jayden smiled and beamed at me happily.
"No Brook's agreed to be my mate now, some stuff's happened, the situations changed" he said his face turning hard slightly towards the end obviously thinking about Trey.
"Ok so what's going on?" Scott asked shaking his head confused, Jayden took a big breath before he started to speak.
"It turns out that this Trey Newton guy's a shifter" he said.
Scott jumped up out of his seat looking shocked "What the fuck? Seriously?" he cried.
"Sit down man, it gets worse" Jayden said sadly, "He's Alpha of the Tridents, and he knows we've mated and he is pissed" Jayden said sounding murderously angry.
Scott's mouth dropped open as he looked between the two of us obviously checking to make sure this wasn't a joke. "Alpha of the Trident's? Shit, this is bad" he said running a hand through his hair.
Jayden nodded, "It's fine man, but he's really not happy, he thinks he's gonna kill me and Brook and even her Mom" he said looking slightly amused like this was a ludicrous idea.
Scott jumped up again his eyes black looking extremely angry, "He won't" he growled.
Jayden nodded "I know man, don't worry, I'm gonna kill him first" he said casually as if we were discussing the weather or something.
Holy shit he's gonna kill him? No way! "No! You can't do that Jayden! I don't want you anywhere near Trey, please you don't know what he's
like, he's crazy his boys are crazy too" I said trying desperately not to cry at the thought of Trey hurting Jayden.
"Brook, I need to kill him before he comes after you, there's nothing else I can do, I won't let him near you and therefore I need to kill him before he tries" he said shrugging.
"I'll come with you" Scott said his eyes still black and angry looking, Jayden looked at him gratefully.
"That's what I was hoping you'd say man thanks" he said smiling.
I gasped "No! Please! Don't do this please!" I begged a tear forcing it's way out.
Jayden groaned and wiped it away quickly, "Please don't cry shortie, I can't stand it" he said pleadingly as he pulled me closer to his side.
I willed myself to calm down as he continued to talk to Scott, "It turns out that Brook's not entirely human" he said excitedly.
Scott gasped and looked at me accusingly, "Why the hell didn't you say Brooklyn?" he asked looking a little hurt.
"She didn't know man, she's just found out today, her father's a shifter and got her human mother pregnant after he had mated with someone else" he said still trying to make sense of it himself.
Scott shook his head "He can't have" he said sternly.
"He did, that's why I could mark her" Jayden said nodding reassuringly, Scott looked shocked as hell. "Her father's Alpha Logan of Banes creak" Jayden continued.
Scott's eyes snapped back to me, "Alpha female" he whispered.
Jayden nodded "Bloodline Alpha female, my father thinks that's why I had to claim her, he says her blood was calling for my bloodline" he said giving me a reassuring smile.
"Holy shit" Scott whispered still staring at me.
"I think Trey wanted to be Alpha of Banes creak, he tried to mate her" Jayden growled angrily.
"That fucker!" Scott said just as angry, "When do we go?" Scott asked looking at Jayden again now for guidance.
Jayden shook his head, "I'm not sure, we'll see what my father says at the meeting tonight, I guess I need to speak to her father, this concerns him too if Newton wants his pack" he said glancing me.
Oh shit he wanted to meet my father? I didn't know how to feel about that, I mean I really liked Dom, he was a really good guy and when I was younger I always wished that he would get with my Mom. But now I know he's my father, jeez I just don't understand how he couldn't have told me!
"The meetings been called for nine" Scott said still watching me closely, "What happened to your face?" he asked tenderly. I felt Jayden stiffen next to me and his hands went into tight fists.
"Trey" I whispered rubbing Jayden's leg reassuringly as his teeth snapped together sharply.
I heard Scott curse under his breath, "Scott?" my Mom said excitedly from behind me.
He smiled and jumped up, "Hey Beth, long time no see" he said hugging her tight.
"I haven't seen you in about a year and a half, still a heartbreaker huh?" she said teasingly patting his cheek making him laugh.
"I guess so" he said grinning.
They started chatting about Scott's college and I took the opportunity to look at Jayden. He pulled me closer to his side his fingers trailing over my sore cheek and lip, god I bet I look a right state!
"This sore?" he asked quietly.
I nodded "A little, it's not too bad though" I said honestly, I'd definitely had worse!
He sighed "Beth, do you think you could have a look at Brook and see if there's anything you could do for her face?" he asked not taking his eyes from mine.
"Yeah of course, come on honey" she said standing up holding her hand out for me. I stood and let her lead me to the kitchen area, she grabbed a bowl and went to the freezer grabbing some ice and putting it in the bowl.
She dragged over a stool, "Sit down, is it just your face?" she asked grabbing a tea towel from the side and filling the bowl with cold water so the ice would melt slightly. I groaned internally, I had to tell the truth, Jayden would probably see later anyway, I already knew there would be wicked bruises there tomorrow.
"Um no, my back and side" I said quietly.
"Take your top off honey" she said trying to appear professional even though I could see she was trying not to cry. I sighed pulled my top off over my head holding it close to my chest covering myself, I didn't want her to have to look at me. I closed my eyes as she gasped, ok maybe I wouldn't have to wait until tomorrow for the bruises. "Oh god Brook" she groaned, I knew she was crying now but I couldn't look, I didn't want to see her face while her heart broke. She loved Trey, they were close, it was probably hard for her to see this knowing that this was going on under her nose.
She applied the damp towel to my back as she prodded my side gently, there was no broken bones, I could tell, I'd had broken ribs before and that was definitely a lot worse than this. I knew it was only bruises but if it made Jayden feel better then I guess I could get checked out. "I don't think there are any broken bones honey" my Mom said through her tears.
I nodded "Yeah, it's just bruises, it'll be fine, I'll take some painkillers, it'll be fine in a couple of days" I said honestly. She sniffed and swiped at her face as Jayden came in, I knew he was watching from the doorway trying to go unnoticed.
"Everything ok?" he asked leaning on the counter next to me taking my hand.
"Yeah, nothing's broken" Beth said nodding.
"Good" he said looking into my eyes, his eyes were tight with worry and concern so I squeezed his hand reassuringly. "Beth I need you to do something for me" Jayden said dragging his eyes from mine, she nodded looking at him curiously. "Would you call Alpha Logan and ask him to come here? I need to talk to him, before the meeting tonight if possible" he asked.
She nodded "Yeah ok, what time shall I ask him to come?" she asked grabbing her phone from her bag.
"I don't know, whenever he can, the meetings at nine" he said rubbing circles in the back of my hand, "Scott can give you the address and directions" he said nodding to the living room.
"Ok" she said walking out to the living room quickly.
Jayden turned to me looking at me sadly, "This looks bad shortie" he said tracing his fingers down my side.
I smiled "It's fine I promise, I've had worse" I said sighing, his body stiffened and he squeezed his eyes shut tightly. I raised his hand and kissed it gently rubbing the back of his hand across my sore cheek. It felt so nice to have him touching me, he relaxed slightly and bent down next to me moving my arm and planting little kisses across my sore ribs as if he was trying to kiss the pain away.
I closed my eyes enjoying the sensation of his lips on my skin as he moved round kissing over my back gently. "It hurts here too Jay" I said pointing to my neck, he chuckled quietly and I felt him kissing up my neck, "And here" I said pointing to my cheek. I couldn't help but smile as he moved to kiss me there, "Here" I said pointing to my nose, "And here, it hurts a lot right here" I said teasingly pointing to my mouth. He groaned and crashed his lips to mine with such a force that it almost knocked me off of the stool I was sitting on.
He wrapped his arms around me holding me against him as he kissed me deeply. I wrapped my legs around his waist clinging to him tightly, god I was totally crazy about this boy. I had known him exactly a week but I knew I couldn't be apart from him now. Now that there was nothing in our way I needed to be with him. By the time he pulled away to kiss down my neck I was totally breathless and I was more than up for heading upstairs to his room.
"Oops, sorry" my Mom said from the doorway, Jayden stopped immediately and turned to look at her smiling a little sheepishly.
"Sorry, my bad" he said looking at her guiltily making me laugh.
She grinned and rolled her eyes, "I've phoned Dom, he'll be in an hour, that ok?" she asked changing the subject.
"That's great Beth, thank you" he said smiling affectionately at her. Shit I can't believe I'm gonna be seeing Dom again knowing that he's my father and that he's a shifter, I always thought my father didn't want me as I was the product of a one night stand and now I find out he's
been in my life the whole time. Wow this is gonna be awkward!
Chapter 17
Jayden
After we had a quick bite to eat I grabbed all the plates and started stacking the dishwasher. This was going to be hard seeing Brook's father, he was an Alpha and I had broken a rule by mating his daughter without asking his permission. I mean he was supposed to asses me and see if I was worthy of an Alpha female, but hopefully he'll understand once I explain about the bloodlines and my need to claim her. If not then this was probably going to end in a fight and I couldn't afford to lose, I had to kill Trey first.
Brook hovered behind me looking stunningly beautiful even with her bruised face, she was watching me with a lustful expression on her face so I tried not to breathe through my nose. I couldn't cope with smelling her raging hormones again, not today. God I can't believe she agreed to be my mate, I was honestly so happy I could do a little happy dance but I didn't want to embarrass myself. When I was done with the dishes I wrapped her in my arms being extra careful of her back and side, shit those bruises looked bad they must have been painful. I felt my blood start to boil again as I thought about that asshole hurting her, I glanced at the clock, it was only seven thirty and I was so impatient to get to the meeting. I needed to have a plan in place to finish this, I didn't like sitting around and waiting, it felt like I wasn't doing anything about it.
"You ok shortie?" I asked kissing the side of her head and trying my best to ignore the blast of desire I felt for her. This was just crazy, the feeling of pure need, it wasn't want, I literally needed her like I needed air to breathe and my body was yearning for hers. All I could think about other than killing that asshole, was ripping her clothes off of her perfect body and making her scream.
"I'm fine Jay, I'm just a little nervous about seeing Dom, I mean all this time I always thought he was just a family friend" she said shaking her head frowning.
I smiled and pulled back cupping her face in my hands, "Shortie, just do me a favour and remember he was there for you when you were growing up even though his mate died, when your mate dies it's supposed to feel like your insides die too, the fact that he still cared for you after that means he's a really good guy, so cut him some slack ok?" I asked quietly. She looked at me curiously and I knew I needed to explain more, "I've had first hand experience with this, when my Mom died my father just abandoned me, he wasn't in my life like your father was, just try to think about this from his point of view ok? I know it's hard shortie but just keep that in your mind and let him explain ok?" I asked looking into her beautiful hazel eyes.
