Between Two Alphas

CHAPTER 6

AUSTINS POV

Claire starts speaking but I can’t hear what she’s saying, someone is coming down the hallway and I know exactly who it is.

Im sure he’s here to try and win her over. I start seeing red, I can’t lose control I can’t she’ll hate me even more. HE IS GOING TO TAKE MATE FROM US, DO SOMETHING!

Before I can stop my self I grab her face and kiss her on her sexy ass lips.

The moment her lips meet mine I know I have to fight with all that I have, it doesn’t matter if my fight is against Logan she will be mine

She pushes me away, I guess she realized Logan was standing there. We both turn to look at him and I can’t help the grin on my face.

Claire turns back to me and *SMACK* right across my face. Holy S**t she slapped me and hard. This is not the Claire I used to know, she never fought back ever.

She turns walks into her room and slams the door in my face.

I knock in hopes that she’ll open the door again but she doesn’t

I definitely messed up bad. After everything I said I could tell she might give me a chance but now I’m not so sure. F**K!

LOGANS POV

THAT SON OF A B***H!! I can’t stay and watch, I’m afraid if I do I’ll rip his throat out with my bare hands. What am I supposed to do?

I hear Claire following behind me and I stop and turn to look at her. I can’t say anything, I’m furious and I know she sees it.

“He kissed me”

“Yeah I saw”

“I didn’t reciprocate “

We stare at each other not knowing what else to say. She might not have kissed him back but I’m sure she wanted to and I can’t stand the thought.

“Would you like to take a walk with me?”

“Yes I would”

We head towards the new shops that are in town, I’m sure she hasn’t been to any of these. I decide to take her to the new cafe.

If I remember correctly she loves coffee with a maple-meringue donut and the ones from here are amazing.

After we order we decide to sit outside since there’s a nice breeze and it smells like autumn.

“ Claire”

“Yeah?”

“I’m so sorry for everything that happened when we we young. You know..the moment I saw you I fell in love and then when I talked to you it just confirmed my feelings. Ever since we were young you’ve always been so mature and intelligent. But I decided to follow Austin’s lead because he was who we all wanted to be. I am truly so sorry.”

“It’s okay, you never really did anything. I’d see the way you would try and stop him sometimes.”

“I should’ve done a lot more than try”

“Well maybe but no one would dare step up to him not with those anger issues he had”

“I’m sorry”

“I forgive you Logan. Anyway I don’t want to talk about that anymore. Let’s just leave it in the past and start fresh?”

“I’d like that a lot.” I stretch out my hand

“Hi, I’m Logan Walton Alpha of the White Creek Pack”

“ Hi Logan, I’m Claire Hewitt, Future Alpha of the Silvercrown Pack and maybe the White Creek”

We laugh, I feel the tension disappear, this is how it should always be. I won’t let Austin take this from me..from us.

We finish our coffee and I walk her back to her room. Walking slow because I don’t want to say goodbye.

As we’re walking up the stairs I ask,” can we do this again tomorrow? “

“Maybe” she says.

We walk the rest of the way, once we reach her door we stand there a little awkwardly. I’m not sure whether she’s okay with a hug or not but before I can ask she steps closer to me and hugs me. I hug her back breathing in her scent, wishing I didn’t have to let go.

“I’ll see you at the bottom of the stairs tomorrow at 8:30” she says with a smile and disappears into her room.

I can’t help but smile to myself, she is something else. It’s so hard to keep my hands to myself, I wanted to kiss her so bad but I need to wait till she’s ready, I won’t rush her.

I decide to let Fenrir out for a run before I head back to my room.

I make my way to the woods, strip down and leave my clothes by a tree.

I shift and as I’m about to take off running I hear noise behind me. I turn around but there’s no one is there.

Must’ve imagined it I tell Fenrir.

No, someone was here he says

I’m sure it’s nothing let’s just go

About fifteen or so miles into our run I hear a growl behind me, I stop and turn around. I see Blaid, Austins wolf, charging at me at full speed.

He stops three feet in front of me, we’re face to face. This won’t be good. He’s always tried to show thats he’s better than me, maybe not consciously but he has and I’ve never indulged his little games. This time though this time is different, he wants to show me that he’ll win Claire over, that he can get her to choose him but this time I won’t let him win.

I’m a lot stronger than he thinks I am, I always have been. He may be my best friend but that doesn’t mean I’m willing to let him take my bate from me.

He growls at me and I growl back. We begin to circle each other. He takes two steps back, getting ready to pounce.
