Chapter Twenty-Four: She’s like a viper

Looking down at the hand that rested on my chest, I let out a low growl. My eyes moved up to meet hers. “Maddison.”

“Alpha,” she said, batting her long dark lashes up at me. “I know my brother is stressed and if you are feeling just as stressed out as he is…” Her fingers trailed lower and she stepped closer, pressing her breasts against my chest. “I can help you relieve that tension.”

I brought my hand up to cover hers, gripping it tight as I leaned closer to her until my lips brushed against her ear. The sweet candy smell of her perfume was a pale mockery of the type of woman that she was.

“Maddison, you are the last person I would ever ask to help me relieve anything.” I growled, releasing her hand and stepping back.

“Jason.” She said, looking down at her hand before her eyes moved back up to meet mine. “I can show you things that your mate could never do for you. I’m not limited the same way a human is. I can keep up with everything that you can give. I’ve heard the kind of things you are into, Jason and they don’t scare me. They excite me.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I was hit with the scent of her arousal, it wasn’t like my mates. It was bitter, just like the wolf that it was attached to.

“It’s alpha and don’t disrespect my mate like that. She will be your luna. Learn your place before you are forced to learn it.” I growled, watching her shoulders tremble at the anger in my voice.

How dare she think that I would want her after being with Tillie? That I would want anyone else after knowing how things could be with my mate. I knew that nothing else could ever compare.

“I like those kinds of games too, alpha.”

“Maddison,” I growled, tilting my head to the side. Some people just couldn’t seem to listen. “I suggest you go find someone else.”

“Is that why you’re okay with my brother and Ryan being with your mate? Do you like to watch?” She said, biting her lower lip and giving me a coy look. “Because I don’t mind you watching.”

“Maddison, what the fuck are you doing?” Travis growled as he came up the steps. Ryan was half a step behind him. His face was drawn and there was a wild look about him and I knew that shifting hadn’t helped him any. If anything, it had brought his beast closer to the surface and put him more on edge.

He looked at Maddison, his lips pulling back from his teeth as a snarl ripped from him. Travis held up a hand and I felt his aura sweep over my skin with a commanding force. Similar to my own, only I didn’t feel the need to do what he wanted. Ryan’s glare turned to Travis and I saw him waver for just a moment before he gave in and his eyes dropped to the floor away from Travis’ sister.

“Brother, I’m just talking to our alpha.” She said, turning away from me to look at her twin. “I see that you have been busy. You’re letting just anyone claim you now?”

“Yeah, talking. Why don’t you fuck right on off.” He growled and Maddison tensed up. A growl slipped from her lips. “If you ever talk about one of my mates like that again, I’ll rip your throat out. Sister or not.”

The threat seemed to work and Maddison took a half step back, bumping into me. She looked over her shoulder and I flashed sharp teeth at her, making her eyes widen and the scent of her fear fill the air around us.

“Travis, you can’t.” She started to say, looking back at her brother.

“I said to fuck off.” He growled, making her all but run to get away from him. She stomped down the hallway until she reached her bedroom. A huff sounded out as the door slammed. Leaving us alone in

the quiet, but I couldn’t seem to get past the anger that! felt at Maddison for talking to me like that. For saying the things that she had said about Tillie.

I was worried that it was my fault that she had run from us. Even if it wasn’t for forever, had I driven her off with what I needed? With what I had done to her last night?

His darkened eyes landed on me and I let out a breath. “Stop it, Jason. My sister is like a viper going in for the kill when she wants something. She doesn’t do nice, she doesn’t do direct very well either. You have to crush any hope she has.” “I’ll remember that for the future, thank you.” I said, dipping my head in thanks.

*Anytime, Jason. I mean, we’re kind of tied together now, sir.” He smirked, his eyes glinting in the hallway with a teasing light and I shook my head, turning away from him.

“I’ve got your bag. Let’s get one packed for Ryan and then we’ll head out.” I said, making my way down the hallway towards Ryan sroom.

“What are we packing for?” Travis asked, falling into step beside me. “I figured we would go get Tillie and bring her home. Not that we would be staying up there.”

“I’m not sure how things will go and I’m just making sure that we’re good for a couple of days,” I said, stopping in front of Ryan’s door and looking back at him to make sure that he was okay with me going into his room. He didn’t say anything, just nodded. “You okay?”

“I will be when I know she’s safe.”

Nodding, I pushed the door open before stepping inside of Ryan’s room. The smell of Travis’ release was strong in the air and I scrunched up my nose, looking over my shoulder at him.

“What? I was talking to Tillie, it was a very good phone call.”
