Secrets of the Alpha's Mate

Ch 22 Love Advice from the Beta

Paul.

Andre stood there and watched as I paced back and forth like a caged animal. I could hardly believe it. "She is my mate." I said to Andre. He nodded his head, "I know." It surprised me that Andre was as serious as he was. I fully expected him to crack a joke or something. Or at least have some sort of smart ass remark, but he didn't. "I never wanted a woman like this before. I can feel her heartbeat without touching her."

I watched Andre as he watched me. It was odd to me that he did not seem more surprised than he did. Then it dawned on me. "You knew she was my mate, didn't you?" Andre nodded his head ,"Enza told me last night." Although I was talking to Andre, I could not get my mind off Breonna. I wanted to be right beside her. I never wanted to leave her side.

"How the hell did Enza know?" I asked. Andre shook his head, "I never understood that identical twin bond thing. They even have their own special link. Apparently, they are not only identical, but they have a special bond that is very rare," Andre said. Although I heard Andre talking, I could not focus on anything that he was saying. All I could think about was Breonna.

I thought for a minute. "Even Janae couldn't see the difference, but I could." Andre laughed slightly, "Really? According to my wife, you will only recognize the difference after you mark her. Apparently, you two have a very strong connection. As far as Enza is concerned, I can definitely see the difference between the two of them, even a distance away." I really laughed then. It seemed unbelievable, "who would have thought the two family members that everyone believes are twins would have mates that are identical twins? You know that our children will look like siblings?"

Andre chuckled a little bit, then his face grew serious, "You know that I meant what I said at the table." I frowned, trying to remember anything but my mate's beautiful face. Then it dawned on me what he had said at the table earlier. "You have nothing to worry about. It might sound crazy, but I believe I am in love with her." I confessed "That doesn't sound crazy at all, cousin. I knew I was in love with Enza when I first met her. All mated couples feel like that," Andre said.

Once again, I began to think about what all of this would mean for my future.I couldn't help but ask, "Is it real, is it always like this?" Andre chuckled lightly and said, "Not only is it real, but it grows by the minute. It gets stronger and stronger." I shook my head in disbelief, "I doubt that . When you shook her hand, for a second I thought of killing you. It took all my strength to remind myself that you are family." My cousin looked me straight in the eye. I saw a flash of anger. It was obvious that he was trying to keep his emotions under control at that moment.

Realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I could not imagine what it must have done to my cousin when I grabbed Enza that day ,"F**k, dammit Andre I am sorry man. I didn't know what I was doing. At that moment, I could have sworn that she was my mate. Please forgive me Brother." I felt like s**t. All the other times that I had apologized for my actions on that day were not as sincere as I was right now. I couldn't imagine what I put him through that day. "Its over with, we won't think about it anymore."

The mischievous look that I had grown accustomed to spread on Andre's face. " Umm. Paul, a word of advice. When you meet your mate for the first time, it is a good idea to wear your shirt on the outside of your pants." He said with his familiar mischievous smile. What the hell was Andre talking about? When I saw his face, I understood. I could feel my face turning bright red, probably for the first time in my entire life. My cousin thought it was hysterical and got a really good laugh from it. "Don't worry about it, Alpha Cousin , I will wear my shirt on the outside so you won't be the only one." He said and continued to laugh at my embarrassment.

I was about to walk back into the house with Andre, when a strong, very cold breeze hit me. My head began to hurt suddenly. From seemingly nowhere, I began to get memories that I did not know about. At that moment, I realized what I had not before. I felt rage build up inside of me. "What's wrong?" Andre asked. I could barely hear him, all I could hear was the blood thundering in my ears. Realization, behind realization, memories, behind memories were flooding back. " A f*****g witch! She was a f*****g witch. That's how she knew I was an Alpha."

That motherfucker, Alpha Malcolm, was there too." Andre was standing there looking at me as if I had gone insane. "Witch? What are you talking about?" Fury rocked my very soul. I had given those bastards a chance. They had sent a witch after me. If I was not the type of Alpha to do whatever it takes, then I would be under that b***h's spell. That would leave my pack and family vulnerable to attack. I would make f*****g sure that all of them were dead by the end of the day.

I suddenly heard a baby's giggle and my gorgeous mate asked her sister "How do I get her to let go of my hair?" That quickly brought me away from my dark thoughts to the fact that I now had my perfect mate. I shook my head, "Let's enjoy your daughter's party and I can enjoy my mate. We will talk about this ugly business later."
