Filed To Story: Mated To Big Brother-in-law
After the woman had finished speaking, she did a quick glance over at Bryan and then took a deep breath.
It almost escaped her mind that she was speaking of his rival in front of him.
Mila saw Bryan’s changing expressions. So she tried to ease him by rubbing his arm.
With a quick look at her hand, Sophia exhaled deeply.
Why was seeing all these things becoming more difficult for her?
She lifted her gaze and saw Bryan glaring at the woman. A grin formed on her lips as she saw his reaction after a long time.
It was very difficult to see any reaction on his face, as he preferred to remain indifferent so that no one could read him.
Sophia placed her elbow on the table and rested her chin against her palm.
“You are right. I don’t know much about him, but…”
Sophia turned to look at Mila from the young woman, and continued, “I would love to hear about him if Miss Mila told something about her brother. I once read in the pack gallery that he…”
“Sophia.”
Bruce’s voice interrupted her. She turned her head at Bruce, realizing that he was also here.
“What?” she asked.
Everyone looked at him, but his eyes were on Sophia. He shook his head, seemingly signaling that it was best not to discuss it.
Sophia frowned, not knowing why he was stopping her. But as she turned her head, she realized why Bruce had stopped her.
Bryan was staring at her with a pair of dark eyes. The look in his eyes was a warning to her to keep her mouth shut.
Sophia could not disguise how good she felt on the inside. She liked how she was bothering this man.
‘If matebond does not bother you, then why not talk about the man you dislike the most?’ She thought and chuckled.
“I think my ex didn’t like me talking about another man.”
Everyone laughed at her words. Sophia turned to Bruce and said,
“Babe, we are no longer together. Why are you jealous? It’s not like your favorite sister-in-law’s brother will come here to meet me.”
Bruce turned his gaze away from Sophia. He glanced at Bryan. It was true that he did not like how Bryan was staring at her. But when he saw that his brother was getting angry, he felt worried for Sophia.
He tried his best to stop her, but she was naive, as she kept talking about someone she should not be talking about.
As waiters entered the cabin with food, they served everyone, then left.
The atmosphere began to calm down, and everyone started eating.
On the other hand, Mila noticed how angry Bryan was. So she thought about something and spoke up to continue fueling the fire.
“Sophia, I think you have a quiet interest in my brother. You don’t know him. Young women are terrified of him. He is a red flag.”
Sophia paused her meal, frowning in response to her words. She looked at her and asked,
“Why did you say that? Isn’t he your brother? He told everyone he loved you, and here you are talking badly against his back? Did he know about it?”
Her serious look and cold tone shocked everyone. Everyone parted their lips in fear when they realized Sophia talked disrespectfully to Mila, who was their future Luna. Not only that, but she did so in front of Alpha Bryan!
Mila glared at Sophia and replied,
“I didn’t say anything against him. By the way, you don’t know anything about him. Why do you seem so protective of him? Don’t you know he is your Alpha’s rival?”
Sophia clenched her fingers around the fork she was holding and asked,
“So what? That doesn’t mean he is a bad guy. Now I start to believe all of those stories that spread around our pack about him are just fake rumors. He is not that bad gu “
Sophia could not finish her sentence as Bryan spoke out in a deep voice.
“Enough!”
Everyone lowered their heads as soon as they heard Bryan. But Sophia did not even flinch.
She did not feel fear, like she used to feel whenever he got mad at her in the past.
“We are here to attend a dinner party, not to discuss family members, Miss Berge,” Bryan said to Sophia directly.
Sophia clenched her jaw to control her anger.
Why did he not tell his fiancee not to speak with her? Why did he tell her to stop?
“Sophia, I think you should calm down now. Please, my baby,” Sara whispered, rubbing the back of Sophia’s hand.
Sophia looked away from Bryan. Her eyes fell on Mila, who was smirking at her.
She ignored her smirk and looked at Tyra, who appeared to be in a state of distress.
It made Sophia feel sorry for her. She invited everyone with the hope of joy, but this was all happening on her birthday. She took a deep breath and thought to remain silent the rest of the time.
She could not ruin Nolan’s sister’s birthday.
The young men and women began to talk about Sophia and how she had offended Bryan.
“She was just asking that because she learned something in the pack gallery. There’s nothing to gossip about,” Bruce let out after gulping his drink.
Sophia glanced at him. He indirectly protected her from any insults that others were about to throw at her.
She stared at him for a while. She realized this man was a thousand times better than his older brother.
However, she had lost herself in front of her heart. Her heart was broken, and it could not be repaired by anyone anymore.
Later, the dining table went back to normal. Everyone talked politely with each other, and some of them took pictures since Alpha was there.
Sofia came to the realization that she did not have time to select a birthday present for Nolan’s sister. Even though it was a party that did not allow gifts, she decided to give her some presents tomorrow.
Tyra looked very happy. She claimed it was the best birthday of her life. Her boyfriend, Hector, kept trying to talk to Bryan, which Bryan evidently ignored. Everyone had a wish to get in touch with the head Alpha. They had the desire to get a high-level job in the pack business.
All the time, Sophia tried her best to avoid looking at the couple in front of her.
“Alpha, I have heard there will be a pack party next week. Can we get the invitations?” Hector asked in a polite tone.
Bryan swirled the glass of red wine while staring at it. He replied to Hector without looking at him.
“You are Bruce’s friend. So you will get the invitations for sure.”
His answer astounded the other men and women at the table. His response was clear. Except for Hector and Tyra, no one else would receive the invitations, so they should not expect anything else from him.
“I wish I could get a chance to attend a pack party. Last time, it was fun,” Sara said with a laugh.
Sophia recalled what party Sara was talking about. It was a business party that Bryan had thrown after he had been successful in winning a deal.
It was the night when she told him about her feelings for the first time and he made fun of it. Every moment of that night flooded her mind. The kiss against the tree, the love in her heart, the craziness she used to feel for him everything caged her mind once again.
The thought of the night made her hand shake, and the drink spilled onto her dress.
“Oh, shit!”
Muttering under her breath, Sara picked up a tissue and gave it to Sophia.
Sophia immediately started wiping the red liquor from her gray dress.
At that time, her phone began to ring. She looked down at her phone, which was resting on the table next to her.
With one hand still damp from the drink, she was wiping the red stains off her dress with the other.
“Do not worry, I am helping you,” Sara said, grabbing the phone.
Sara saw the name of the contact number.
‘Ken?’
Sara glanced at Bryan. She thought about something and received the call. She put the phone on a loudspeaker with a grin.
“Sophia?”
Ken’s voice reached other people’s ears as they turned silent and focused their attention on Sophia.
Sophia was looking at her dress but paused when she heard Ken’s voice.
