Alpha Bloodlines (7 page)

I ran to the door knocking quickly, God please be awake! I looked at my watch it was just after one in the morning. The door opened and a surprised looking Scott opened the door, "Hey Jay, what are you doing here?" he asked smiling as he stepped to the side to let me in. Shit this is gonna be hard!

"Um Scott man I need to talk to you" I said uncomfortably, it wasn't my fault, I know I said he could have her but I just couldn't help myself. He tensed immediately and looked behind me for trouble, I shook my head and closed the door.

"Scott man, something's happened, I mated" I said swallowing my guilt, I can't believe I've done this to him! Shit what if he had actually wanted to mate her instead of just sleeping with her? My wolf growled at the thought if him wanting her so I closed my eyes calming myself.

He gasped "Shit Jayden! You mated? I thought you said you didn't ever want a mate" he said watching me looking shocked, proud and a little jealous too.

Most shifters wanted to be mated, it was an unbreakable bond between two shifters that was stronger than anything, most of us wanted that strength and closeness, but I had always shyed away from it. God I was so stupid, the feeling was incredible, to love someone more than anything else in the world, to be willing to give your life for them in an instant, it was overwhelming, the joy of having a mate, I can't believe I didn't want this.

I nodded "I know, I didn't want one, it just kind of happened, I couldn't control myself, as soon as I saw her I had to have her, I just couldn't stop" I said frowning at the feeling of losing control. I would never loose control with her again, ever.

He pulled me into a hug and slapped my back happily, "I'm so pleased for you! Who is she? What's she like?" he asked excitedly. I smiled sadly, ok shit here it goes.

I opened my mouth to say when Mel walked into the hallway, "Hey Jayden, how's it going? Great party" she said grinning. I smiled, it was a fucking awesome party, best party ever.

I nodded "Yeah it was" I said.

Scott turned to her excited "Jayden's mated!" he said happily.

She clapped her hands excited and jumped a little on the spot, "Oh god that's incredible!

Congratulations!" she said happily.

I nodded to the lounge "Can we go in there?" I asked uncomfortably rather than standing in the hallway, Scott nodded and we went in, he sat down on the sofa and I sat on the armchair. "Scott man, I'm really sorry, I didn't know who she was, honestly I just couldn't stop, I tried to not mark her but my wolf, he wanted her" I said grimacing waiting for him to explode at me.

He looked at me confused, "What?" he asked giving me his 'what the fuck' face, ok did she not tell them she had mated? I heard her moving around upstairs and I wanted to go to her and wrap her in my arms.

"Mel's friend, I don't even know her name" I said frowning.

Scott laughed, "That's funny dude, seriously who did you mate with?" he asked laughing his ass off.

Why the hell is that funny? "What's her name?" I asked curiously, I just couldn't remember it, I know he'd told me before but I just never paid that much attention to it, she was just Mel's friend then.

"Who Brooklyn?" he asked still chuckling, fucking hell that was a beautiful name, Brooklyn Phillips, I smiled, that would sound awesome, maybe we could get married soon, I loved the thought of her being Mrs Phillips.

"Is she upstairs?" I asked standing to go to her, Scott looked at he confused until understanding shot across his face. His eyes darkened and he jumped up in front of me, I clenched my fists controlling my wolf, I didn't want to hurt my best friend, but I WOULD NOT allow him to challenge me.

"You didn't!" he shouted angrily.

Mel gasped "You can't mate her! She's human" she said horrified.

My eyes snapped to hers, human? She can't be a human! I had definitely mated her, she was mine, she was supposed to be mine, that's why I couldn't help but claim her. "She can't be human, I marked her" I said sternly.

Mel shook her head "No! She's human, she is, Scott she's human, he can't have" she cried looking at him confused.

Scott stepped forward to me "You better fucking not have Jayden, you know I like her" he growled.

I stepped forward looking straight into his angry black eyes, "Don't you fucking dare challenge me Scott, sit the fuck down now" I ordered. He took a deep breath and stepped back and sat down, his posture still alert, his eyes still black, his wolf still wanting to kill me but he was showing me respect by backing off. "I didn't mean to, I couldn't stop, the first time I saw her my teeth extended, my wolf, he wanted her, she's mine" I said sternly.

"But you can't mate her she's human" Mel said again sounding like she was trying not to cry.

I shook my head, "She can't be human, I need to speak to her, she's probably from another pack and hasn't told you" I said confidently. Shifters couldn't mark humans so there had to be something else, some other explanation.

Scott was glaring at me, "She was supposed to be with me, you know I liked her, if she's a shifter I would have mated her" he growled angrily.

I stepped forward towards him, he wanted to mark my mate? My wolf wanted to show him I was in charge, he wanted to beat him senseless for even thinking of my angel in that way. "It's done, she's mine now" I growled warningly.

He shook his head, "How could you do this to me?" he shouted looking at me angrily. Shit I didn't do this to hurt him!

"Scott, I don't know what happened! Honestly I needed to, I couldn't help it!" I shouted angrily trying to make him understand.

She was coming downstairs now, I could hear her, I looked at the hallway waiting for her to come around the corner. She didn't, she'd stopped on the stairs, I stepped around the chair to go to her and Scott grabbed my arm. How dare he touch me! I snapped my eyes round to his, so angry my hands were shaking, my wolf trying to force me to shift and rip his head off. He must have seen this in my eyes as he let go immediately and dropped his hand to his side, his eyes turning back to their usual blue. I took a deep breath willing mine to do the same before I walked to the bottom of the stairs.

Brook

I sat there uncomfortable on the stairs pulling my t-shirt down over my knees, oh God just go! Why wasn't he leaving? They had stopped shouting at each other now so he should be leaving any minute. I closed my eyes and put my chin on my knees waiting for the sound of the front door.

"Hi", I snapped my eyes open and looked up to see him standing at the bottom of the stairs looking like a damn Greek god or something. His green eyes boring into mine making me feel weightless, shit what the hell do I say?

"Um hi" I said uncomfortably as I stood up, he smiled making my heart try to break it's way out of my chest.

"I didn't get your name, I'm Jayden, or Jay whatever you want" he said grinning as he looked me over.

"Um, Brooklyn, or Brook for short" I said swallowing loudly, he nodded and stepped up a step so our faces were level. I could feel the heat rising in me, god I wanted him to touch me so bad, my whole body was aching for him again.

"Why did you leave?" he asked quietly as his eyes tried to drag the answer straight from mine, I blushed at the close proximity and stepped back another step to put some distance between our bodies.

He frowned and looked a little hurt, "I just thought, you know, I'd leave before it got awkward, kinda like it is now Jayden" I said uncomfortable. His eyes flashed with excitement as I said his name, I would imagine mine did too, his name rolled off my tongue like chocolate making me shiver slightly.

"It's not awkward, we need to talk though I guess, get to know each other" he said smiling happily.

I shook my head, that couldn't happen, I couldn't get to know him, I could barely be around him, my body was screaming at me to grab him and hold him and I couldn't do that I had a boyfriend. "No, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, well I guess I definitely gave you the wrong impression, I mean shit we had sex, but I can't do this, I have a boyfriend" I said blushing like crazy as I rambled on and on making myself sound like a complete idiot.

He frowned angrily, "No, you're mine" he said as he stepped up to the step I had just vacated. His?

What the hell is he talking about? Wow he's some kind of super possessive guy, jeez I only slept with him once! His face was so close to mine, I could smell his sweet breath blowing across my face making me want him so bad it hurt.

"No I'm not, look this was a mistake" I said stepping to the side and moving quickly down the stairs to find Mel, hopefully the possessive hot guy would leave then.

"Mistake? We're mated, that's it, you can't have a boyfriend, you're mine" he said sounding angry, mated? What's that? Mated like a dog?

"Mated? What the hell? I'm not some kind of dog, I don't mate for goodness sake, shit are you crazy? That's just great, all those people at the party and I have to sleep with a crazy guy" I said laughing even though this really wasn't funny.

He looked at me a little shocked, "We're mated" he said again, I looked at Mel and Scott for help, they were just watching speechless.

"Look, Jayden is it? You're a really good looking guy and wow you were good in bed, but seriously, you need to get some help" I said shaking my head. He moved so quick I didn't even see him move, he wrapped me in his arms, tingles were spreading through my body, my core was throbbing with need and I was more turned on than I had even been in my life.

His nose skimmed across my jaw making me whimper with desire, "We're mated, I can smell me on you, you have my mark, you're definitely mine, I can tell" he whispered in my ear making me shiver. "You know you're mine, I can smell how aroused you are, you want me right now just as much as I want you" he whispered. I bit my lip to stifle my moan of desire, he was right I did want him, I couldn't speak. What the hell was there to say? I could barely even think about anything other than his glorious body pressed against mine.

"Maybe you should go Jay" Scott said from behind him, oh god thank you! He shook his head pressing me closer to him possessively, he kissed my neck and I unconsciously tipped my head back wanting him to kiss lower where he bit me earlier. He smiled against my neck and pulled my t-shirt aside and ran his tongue across the bite mark. A shot of pleasure shot straight to my core and I moaned bringing my hands up to grip the back of his head holding it there as my body set on fire with passion.

He pulled back to look at me and I whimpered, I didn't want him to stop, I didn't want him to ever stop. He chuckled "See" he said happily, I still didn't understand, what does that prove other than the fact that he was a fucking sex god and his mouth could set me on fire?

I shook my head "I have a boyfriend, this was just a one night stand, I'm sorry" I said honestly. I was sorry, I wanted this, I wanted him for some reason even though I didn't even know him. I didn't want to be with Trey anymore, I hadn't wanted to be with him for almost three years, after the second time he hit me, when I was fourteen I wanted to leave him then but it was too late he wouldn't let me go.

"We're mated!" he shouted angrily making me flinch back from him, he immediately calmed down looking at me apologetically, "Don't be scared, I wouldn't hurt you, ever" he said stepping back to me brushing his hand across my cheek gently.

I looked at Mel for help, she looked from me to Jayden, "She's not what you think she is! Look at her she has no idea what your talking about Jay" she said sternly.

He looked at me closely, trying to drag the answers from my eyes again and suddenly he stepped back looking at me shocked. "Shit!" he gasped running a hand through his messy hair, I smiled ok now he's getting the idea that he's a crazy dude!

"Finally" I mumbled I said stepping to Scott's side, Jayden's eyes flashed and went darker just like when he bit me, they were almost black and looked scary as hell. He stepped up to me and took my hand pulling me away from Scott, ok wow what the hell is going on? I wrenched my hand out of his. "What the fuck is this about? And what the hell is going on with your eyes? Shit your eyes have changed colour! I thought I imagined it before" I cried angily. I wasn't scared, I felt no fear whatsoever, I believed him when he said he would never hurt me.

He took a deep breath and his eyes changed back to the beautiful shade of green and I felt my heart throb. "Come for a walk with me, I'll explain" he asked, almost pleadingly, holding out his hand for me to take. I watched his face turn from hope to disappointment when I didn't take his hand. I felt sick, he looked so sad, I couldn't make him sad! I put my hand in his and he grinned happily.

"Thanks shortie" he said smirking at me.

I laughed "I'm not short!" I said shaking my head.

"You're shorter than me" he said teasingly. I laughed, of course I was shorter than him, he was probably about six foot two of total perfection.

"I expect most people are shorter than you Jayden, you're built like a freaking god" I said shaking my head in amusement, he laughed a beautiful laugh and pulled me towards the front door.

"We'll be back in a bit" he called over my shoulder. I glanced back at Mel, she looked strangely excited but shocked and scared at the same time, Scott looked sad and murderously angry, ok what the hell is this about?

He walked me out of the house and towards the woods still holding my hand, as we got to the edge of the tree line I stopped. I didn't want to go in there, Mel had told me stories about things that lived in the woods when I was a kid and it had scared the crap out of me. He stopped and looked at me before nodding into the tree's, wondering why I had stopped. "I can't go in there, I don't like it" I said feeling slightly sick.

He stepped closer to me and cupped my face in his hands, his face less than an inch from mine,

"You have nothing to be scared of shortie, I'll never let anything hurt you I swear" he said tenderly. I could hear the truth in his voice and thinking about his eyes earlier I knew he was scary himself.

"There's animals in there, Mel told me when I was a kid" I said frowning looking into the tree's scanning for some type of killer animal.
