Bree
I don't know why I kiss him, it's not that I really like him. All I know is that his words are hurtful, especially when I am not in this for myself,the only reason I'm here is because my pack will benefit from the aids that will be provided
" Don't get drunk" I mutter and he stiffens
" You're not my keeper" he growl and I grimace
" Obviously but you can not get drunk and cause problems for me" I reply bluntly. He crowds me menacingly
" Or what will you do" I shrink my eyes widening with fear but then a door opens and I catch a glimpse of a blue dress, Flora. The hurt feelings from all day builds up in me and in a move that stuns even myself I kiss him. I can see when Flora notices us, her face turns pale and then red with rage, I try to deepen the kiss while Ash's hands are wrap around my shoulders and I put mine in his hair. My gaze locked with hers as she stalks towards us
" What the hell" Flora she grits and immediately Kane pushes me away, glancing to her.
" Quiet" he hisses and she pulls away when he reaches for her .
" Why are you kissing her" she whispers harshly
" It was an accident" he mutters and I smile.
Of course, him kiss my stepsister is nothing to worry about but kissing his mate is something to forget.
" What do you mean an accident. I saw her kiss you, and you just stood there" Flora hisses
" f**k Flora, it was an accident and this isn't the only time we'll have to kiss get used to it" he groans and I turn away from them my dress sliding against my skin, I take a sip of my champagne looking around the room, I see my step father watching his permanent glare already on. Did he already know about his daughter sleeping with the man I was to marry, was this a double whammy for him. I know I should try to stop them but I can't bring myself to care.
" Flora let's not have this conversation here"
" I'm going to get a drink" He says turning away with Flora protesting as he strides past several guests
"You want a glass " I ask her, gesturing to my glass of champagne, she arches her brow at me in disbelief and I shrug finishing the drink and dropping the glass on the table. I look at Flora, she is all I can never be, straight blond hair, bright green eyes and a figure that men love, including my mate.
Flora was my friend once, a close one for over fifteen years, we have known each other through high school and college. Then one day she had just changed and while she did owe me anything I thought she would have told me that she has been dating my mate before the arrangements, I wonder if her telling me would make a difference, I like to think it would but I can not be sure
" You kissed him in purpose" she asks
" He is my mate so yes that comes with the territory" I reply, my wolf can tell deep down I know that he is mine, even if he will not acknowledge it.
" Don't be smug " Flora grits
" He's mine not yours"
I shrug
" I never said he was" she huffs glaring at me
" Then what was that" she asks and I frown
" What ,"
" That f*****g kiss Bree, do you think this is a joke"
" So you remember my name, I did wonder, if you decided to forget my name every time you slept with my mate" I ask her honestly, because I do want to know, how she can lie to me and treat me the way she does with how close we were.
" Yes I remember your name,Bree Camp the only daughter of the Camp family, you think you're so great just because of your families money but you are nothing" she scoffs
"And Kane– Kane was mine first before he became yours" she mutters hysterical
" Kane is mine, don't dream of having him" she hisses and I laugh
" And why shouldn't I " she scoffs
" Because, Kane will never like you, have you looked at yourself in the mirror Bree,today is the only day you've ever looked presentable and even now you're hopeless" she retorts, it stings her words but i can't refute them they are burned into my skin like coal to burn me at inopportune moments.
" Do you know that we talked about you, he wanted to know what you were like and I told him, after he f****d me in his bed and he was sated " she mocked
" I told him what you were, a vapid know it all, who cared for nothing but herself, do you think he can love you" she asks. I can't say anything, her words hurt,yes . But it is the thought that she sees me this way, or wants to portray me this way to protect her relationship. Were we ever friends
" Legally,and by fates choice Flora he's mine" I reply, she stalks over to me and slaps me in the face, I can hear the gasps of people in the room as they turn to us, watching trying to figure out what it is we are talking about. What would make someone slap the bride, but they can't hear us , and they can't hear the hurtful words she says next.
" Get over yourself,you may be rich, but I'm also rich. Physically I'm perfect, my relationship with Kane legal or not is more real than yours can ever be" she says harshly
" He'll never love you Bree,that will always be mine"
