Caught Between Them

I bit into an apple and watched as Brock sharpened his sword, this has been our routine now; eat, sleep, hunt, sharpen and customize our weapons. Days ago, Brock had found a shotgun devoid of bullets and had spent a day making hundreds of bullets, when he was done he had handed the gun to me.

The gun was holstered on my hip now and I scowled at his back, I hated guns, but the arrogant prick in front of me had harshly reminded me that I was a chicken when it came to swords, but I had stubbornly kept a sword on me much to his annoyance. Brock set his sword down and turned to me, his green eyes bore into mine.

“Training. Now!” he barked and I groaned, he insisted we didn’t eat anything this morning and now he was asking me to train?

“We haven’t………”

“Shut it” he snapped and I closed my mouth but gave him the stink eye, his green eyes darkened at that and I knew I was done for.

“Guns” he barked and I instinctively whipped out my gun. Brock had taught me how to quickly arm myself, he circled me like a wolf which he pretty much was and stopped behind me.

“See that red dot in the tree” he said and I strained my neck but saw nothing.

“I don’t see anything” I complained and he growled, the sound made me shiver and I blushed.

I am so stupid, getting turned on by an animalistic growl

Brock came up beside me and used his finger to close my eyes.

“Call up your wolf from within, don’t just see with your human eyes, you are one with your wolf so look with her” he explained and I nodded trying to concentrate, because the feeling of his hard abdomen on my backside was doing crazy things to my insides. I took a deep breath and he took his fingers away, I called forth that second being in me and when I opened my eyes I saw the red dot on a tree that was far away.

“Woah! I can see it” I said excitedly and turned to Brock who didn’t look impressed and my mood died immediately, he certainly knew how to kill a vibe.

“Now shoot” he ordered and I took aim and pulled the trigger with a loud bang the bullet left the gun and hit the target, my eyes widened in surprise and in my excitement I hugged Brock then I realized what I did and stepped away.

“I am sorry” I offered, his face was expressionless and he nodded.

“It’s fine” he said, “Lucky shot” he said and anger flared up in me, what was his problem anyway, didn’t he appreciate something for once.

“What’s your problem” I yelled, “Why do you always keep downgrading me, why do you hate me”

He stared at me coldly, “I don’t hate you” he said calmly and I narrowed my eyes.

“You don’t?” I said in disbelief, “I find that hard to believe, what did I do that you just like pushing me aside? You are so cold, proud and arrogant, you are an idiot! You are not the only one to have suffered before” I shouted and he scowled at me, his green eyes shone until they were yellow.

“Say all you want, I don’t care” he growled but I was so angry I yelled the only thing I have been thinking since the time we were stuck here.

“I love you, you idiot” I yelled and Brock reeled back, surprised then he scowled.

“Don’t you ever say that” he said, his voice clipped.

“It doesn’t matter, you arrogant prig, I have always loved you” I jabbed a finger in his chest. “You, and not Logan. I hate myself for loving a cold person like you, it’s not like you are the only one suffering on earth” I said.

“You don’t know what I have been through so don’t tell me about suffering” he yelled back, his voice was so deep and monstrous it scared me. I calmed down and stared at the floor feeling guilty for yelling at him.

“I am sorry” I said meekly and he scowled and stormed off. I ran after him but he was too fast.

“Brock please!” I said and he stopped and turned, fur appeared on his jaw and I put a hand on his chest.

“I am here for you, no matter what you have been through” I whispered, he sighed and pulled me into his arms. I stared at him in surprise, his eyes looked serious and he was staring at me like I was the only person in his word.

“Logan will kill me for this” he said and claimed my mouth in his, I groaned and pushed myself into him wanting to feel his perfect body, he pulled away and held my cheek.

“What did you do to me?” He asked and I put a finger on his lips.

“Don’t talk, kiss me” I said and he pulled me in for another kiss, cupping my buttocks as he did so making me moan in his mouth he lifted me into his hands and gently laid me on the ground and crashed in beside me, I turned to him.

“Is that all?” I asked, disappointed that he didn’t even do more.

“Yes” he said, “You are still Logan’s mate, this is wrong”

“But I don’t love him” I said adamantly and Brock shrugged.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“It’s your problem, you are the one who agreed to his proposal” he said and I could detest jealousy in his voice. I smiled.

“If I hadn’t agreed I wouldn’t have met you” I said and Brock fell silent and minutes of silence he spoke.

“Did you mean what you said earlier?” he asked and I nodded. He shook his head like I was making a grave mistake, maybe I was but I didn’t care, this arrogant, cold brooding beta was who I was in love with.

“I love……” Brock covered my mouth with his huge hand.

“Stop” he said, “Don’t tell me that, please”

“Why?” I asked and he shrugged, I cuddled up to him and he didn’t object instead he wrapped his arm around me.

“This is better” he said in his deep voice and kissed my forehead, I smiled. If Brock was kissing me one the forehead then he certainly cared for me, that alone was enough to make my day and I drifted off to sleep
