The Alpha and His Childhood Sweetheart

Here to Stay Pt. 4

   I found Alexander in the gym. I cleared my throat. He kept hitting the bag. I cleared my throat again. He looked over his shoulder, “Brother.” I waved the present. He inhaled and stiffened. He turned and ran over me. He ripped the present away. He read the card and smiled. I asked, “What does it say?” He smiled and handed me the card. I read it quickly.

Xander, 

I saw this and it reminded me of you. I just had to get it for your birthday. I was hoping to give it to you in person, but that’s apparently not happening this year. Happy eighteen birthday. Sorry Charline tried to ruin it. I’m glad you’re ok though. 

            Yours, 

            Melanie McAlister

P.S I didn’t know if I signed Melanie if you’d know who it was….since we’ve never met. One day though….Hopefully. Well...yeah...umm..bye. God why did I write in pen...that’s dumb stop reading this. STOP WRITING MELANIE AH!

I laughed. I couldn’t help it. I looked up to see my brother smiling at a necklace. It was a platinum chain with a black canine on it. There was a wolf on it too. Damn. She had to save her allowance for a while to be able to buy that. Alexander instantly put it on. He smiled, “Thanks EJ.” He shrugged, “She practically threw it at me and ran back to her house. I was merely sitting there.” Alexander laughed, “Still. Thank you.” 

            Time passed by quickly for once. EJ and I were working with Daisy and our other cousins to do a hybrid Alpha style. Saied challenged for the female warrior position. We were having that the day after Elise’s birthday. Alexander bumped me, “Get to stepping brother. It’s eleven thirty at night.” I looked up, surprised. My dad laughed, “You’ll get better at it. I had to put a stop time when I met your mother. Go on. Bring Elise home.” I smiled. We were going to our treehouse in her territory then I’d bring her home. I popped into the Kyle’s house. I looked around surprised. I saw Tristan first. I asked, “Where’s Mel?” Tristan smiled, “She’s been crying her eyes out about Elise leaving all week. She signed up for a dance competition. It’s how she copes.” I sighed, “She can come see her anytime. I can pop Elise back well inside her house too. She’ll come back.” Tristan nodded, “Oh I know. She just loves Elise.” I felt bad. I didn’t want Melanie to feel left out. Maybe she could have a sleepover one night at our house. I’d pop her in myself and end this s**t with Alexander once and for all. 

            Elise ran downstairs and flung herself into my arms. I laughed, “Hi Elise.” She whispered, “Hi.” Tristan was excited too. I knew he wasn’t going to find his mate here though. She was still seventeen, and she lived in California. Finally midnight hit. Elise and I both growled, “MINE!” Tristan shrugged, “I got nothing.” Drake laughed, “You’ll find her son.” I ran outside with Elise. I popped her to our treehouse. I kissed her, “MINE!” She growled, “MINE!” Right back. Our tongues battled. I snapped her naked. I popped us to the bed. I started to kissing down her body. She pulled me up to her lips. She writhed under me, “We’ve had eighteen years of foreplay EJ Conners. Mark me.” I kissed her, “We can take…” She flipped us over and sank down on me. I groaned, “f**k babe.” She began to ride me. I flipped her over and took over. She scrambled, “YES EJ! HARDER!” I grunted and gave her what she wanted. I growled, “f**k Elise. I love how hard and rough my girl loves it.” I pushed Brutus forward and she did the same with Rhea. When she came I sank my teeth into her neck. When her canines pierced my neck. I honest to god roared. I saw stars as I came. I couldn’t stop my light. I put my hand on her chest. She came for ten minutes. 

            She was smiling lazily. I licked her neck. Her eyes were fluttering. I whispered, “Elise….” She murmured, “Need sleep. Marked by an Alpha….sleepy. Take me home.” I smiled, “Do you want to spend the night here then?” She murmured, “No, our home.” I couldn’t stop my smile. I snapped us both clean. I snapped her into my shirt. Brutus snorted, “You torture us both.” I smirked, “She looks sexy in my shirt.” Brutus agreed with me. I grabbed Elise and popped back to her house for her stuff. I grabbed it. Peter was sitting on her bed. He smiled, “Take good care of my baby girl.” I nodded, “Always Mr. Kyle.” He laughed, “Still Peter.” I shrugged, “My mom raised me to respect people. At this moment….I’m bringing your daughter home with me. I’m her mate. I want you to know I respect you. I’ll pop her back here as much as she wants to come. I won’t keep her from you. You’re welcome in our home anytime.” Peter stood and shook my hand, “You’re everything I could’ve ever dreamed of her EJ. Lead with her always.” I nodded, “I will.” He kissed Elise’s forehead. I popped us to my room. 

            Alexander linked me, “You back?” I answered, “Yup. Elise is out.” Alexander came into my room quietly. He smiled, “I won the bet. Everyone thought she’d be fine, but I said your mark would wipe her out.” I laughed, “I marked her and shared my light.” Alexander clapped me on the back, “Atta boy EJ. I’m happy for you man. Glad she’s here with us now.” I nodded, “Me too.” He said, “I’ll go.” I smiled, “Thanks for coming by little brother.” Alexander laughed, “Cassie is ready to pounce on her tomorrow.” I smiled, “I’m sure. I’ll leave the pouncing on Elise for me though.” Alexander snorted, “Thanks for the visual.” I asked, “Why didn’t you tell me some she wolf from Alpha Theo’s pack kissed you?” He shivered, “I’m not even going to ask how you found out about that. I don’t want to remember it. I didn’t even know what was happening.” I nodded, “Fair enough.” He walked out. I kissed Elise’s forehead, “I love you Elise Kyle. Welcome home.” I closed my eyes; My girl was finally home for good. I smiled and drifted to sleep.
