Branson’s POV
My heart shatters as I read her message, I f****d up so much over the years how could she ever possibly forgive me. I don’t blame her for hating us. It was all my fault.
I just sit there in a daze looking at the phone, hours pass by as I try to figure out how I’ll ever make it up to her, how I’ll ever convince her to forgive me.
She won’t even take my calls, the family events she ignores me point blank, spending her time drinking so she could forget me.
I know all about it because for years it’s what I had to do to function, but it doesn’t mean it works. If anything it makes everything worse but she won’t even take my calls so I can’t tell her that.
By now we should be mated and married. We should be settling into our life together but I f****d it up so badly that I’m not sure I’ll ever get there.
After a few hours Bronx growls, taking over and slamming his fist against the table.
“Work, let’s work! I can’t sit here stewing all f*****g night!”
He roars, he was right. I let him take over as he storms off to the office, passing omegas on the way, they try to flutter their eyelashes at him but he growls, pushing his aura over them until they bare their neck in submission. He hated everyone, and everyone was terrified of us but it’s hard to be nice when all you want to do is scream!
We storm into the office and take a seat, I push forward, pulling up the laptop and I get to work.
I start tomorrow's work and I don’t stop until the sun goes down and mum walks in.
“Hey, how’s it going?”
I grunt. Shrugging my shoulders as I continue with what I’m doing.
“Oh hey mum, how are you? I’m good, oh that’s great”
I look at her while she rambles on
“Seriously, you're just going to sit there, not even say hello to your old mum properly?”
I groan rubbing my temples and I glare at the wall
“I’m not in the mood mum”
“Oh I know, the omegas are still trembling”
I shrug
“It’s their fault, why do they think it’s ok to flirt, I don’t want their attention, it’s the only way to stop them”
I tell her looking back at the laptop.
“Oh I’m sure there are better ways, the pack is terrified of you”
“As they should be”
I snap annoyed
“Why should they be afraid Branson? You can’t continue doing this”
“Mum if I’m not mistaken I have the title of both king and alpha, I can rule as I please. Now please I need to get back to work——— arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
I scream as a pain slices through my chest like a knife through butter, the pain rumbles out, spreading across my body as tears brim in my eyes.
“She’s cheating”
Bronx roars in my head as I try to breathe through the pain
“s**t are you ok?”
Mum asks, rushing over to us as my body trembles and shakes. Anger takes over as I roar again, hair sprouting from my arms as bronx fights for dominance, pushing forward. Then it stops, so I take a breath and i grab my phone and I start to ring her.
“Are you ok?”
“No, I'm not f*****g ok! She kissed someone!”
He roars through our lips at mum, I get up, lifting my phone and I storm out. It went straight to voicemail angering me even more! I have had enough. I won’t allow this to continue.
“Where are you going?”
Mum rushes after me
“To get my mate! I’m sick and tired of this!!”
I storm outside, go to my car, climb in and ring carter. As I start the car he answers
“What’s up!”
“What’s up!!! What’s f*****g up! She just f*****g kissed someone! I’m done with this, I'm coming to get her!”
He goes silent as I take off towards the border
“It wasn’t her fault, he did it to her, Carly is on her way to lift her now”
“Don’t care, I’m taking my mate home. Tell the guards I’m coming”
He groans
“I don’t think that’s a good idea”
“No, what’s not a good idea is continuing to listen to you, I’m done. She comes home with me, it’s time”
“You know what I’ll let her decide”
He snaps hanging up on me
“She comes home with us, no more of this, she is ours!”
Bronx growls
“Agreed”
I tell him, by the time we make it to Carter’s house, I have a thin layer of sweat coating my skin, my heart rate was beating so fast that the blood in my veins felt like it was connected directly to my ears, deafening me. I jump out of the car and race towards the house, it takes us less than 10 seconds to burst through the front door to find them.
As I walk in all I hear is her laugh and suddenly everything stops, my heart, my brain, my body. Life just floods my heart at the sound of her laugh, looking around I see her feet in the air where she was sitting upside down on the couch
Carter glares at me as Carly stops laughing and she looks at katana awkwardly.
“Where is he?”
I spit the words at them, her feet freeze as I regain my mobility and I storm over to her.
Her beautiful brown hair was a mess all over her face as It fell in all directions in loose messy curls. Her slim face held huge big golden eyes, with large pouty lips and the most delegate cheekbones that I'd ever seen before.
Her body was short and sweet, she wore mom jeans and a star wars T-shirt, and her face looked like thunder as I came into view.
“What the f**k is he doing here!”
She snaps intoxicated, swinging around and grabbing a jar and downing it
“I have come to collect you”
She spits drink all over the place, staring up at me and taking another drink
“Hell no! I’m not going anywhere
With you!”
“Oh yes, you are! You can’t look after yourself so someone has to”
She growls, her wolf pushing forwards
“How dare you! We have looked after ourselves for this long and we will continue to do so! Get out”
I snort shaking my head
“Kick me out and I’ll go track down that dude you kissed and I’ll kill him, I’ll do it slowly and publicly, I’ll make sure everyone in this pack and every pack knows what will happen when anyone touches my mate!”
Her jaw drops as she glares at me, turning to look at carter who was still glaring my way.
“Oh is that so! You go back to your place then and find every single girl you kissed, hugged, f****d and I’ll kill them, each one will die slowly and I’ll live stream it on the internet, so why don’t you go get me that list, I know it will take a while to remember all that information but why don’t we come back and regroup in say, I don’t know, maybe A YEAR FROM NOW!!! But don’t worry I won’t hold it against you if you haven’t finished by then Because it’s so DAMN LONG it will take way more than a year to track them down!”
“Well to be fair that was kind of funny”
Bronx snaps at me amused as I watch her breathing heavily, anger pumping from every pore in her body.
“Haha very funny”
“It’s not funny! That’s the entire f*****g point! What did you do that last day!”
I frown at her,
“What last day?”
I couldn’t understand what she was talking about.
“The day I asked dad to take the memories, what happened that day”
