“Let them gawk! I don’t give a damn if anyone is watching us,”
Oran replied, kicking the door of his house.
“What did you just say?”
Bix frowned bitterly. “Have you lost your mind ”
Before he could say another word, Oran slammed the door shut behind them and pinned Bix against the nearby wall.
Bix gasped when Oran pinned his hands above his head and pressed his body against Bix. “What What are you doing?”
Bix panicked.
“Tell me how long have you known you were an Alpha blood and Ella’s cousin!”
Oran demanded.
Bix’s heart raced due to their close proximity, his limbs shook slightly with the forbidden feelings that only Oran could evoke within him. He averted his gaze and replied, “Since I turned twelve. I never felt any sort of parental bond with my father to begin with, I had doubts that I was even his son. However, my parents were very good to me. During a celebration, I met Alpha Adam and his elder brother. I felt a parental bond with his elder brother and his wife. She had witch blood, and I already suspected that I was their son. I was too shocked to digest the truth at that moment, then Alpha Adam revealed that my real parents did not want me, so he had swapped me with his own daughter for my own good. He also gave me a choice to return to my biological parents if I wanted. I obviously refused, but in exchange for letting me stay with my adoptive parents and the kindness Adam had shown me by swapping the child to save me, he only asked that I protect Ella for the rest of my life.
“In the depths of my heart, I was aware of all the wickedness and greed of Adam, but Ella was my cousin and innocent of all those ugly truths. Honestly, there was no benefit in exposing either of them when I had no intention of returning to my biological parents or the Opal Moon Pack, Ella was the best leader for Opal Moon. I had no place there,”
Bix revealed everything in a subdued tone, avoiding Oran’s gaze.
Oran placed a finger under Bix’s chin, forcing him to meet his gaze. “Then why did you hide it from me?”
he inquired, leaning closer to Bix’s face, causing him to panic even more.
“I I didn’t want you to see me differently if my identity as an Alpha was exposed. That’s why ”
Bix stuttered out his explanation.
Before Bix could finish his sentence, Oran crushed his lips against his. Bix was stunned, his eyes widening in surprise. After a few seconds he snapped out of his shock, his gaze locked onto Oran’s intense one as he struggled in his hold, attempting to break free from the kiss. “What the hell are you doing, Oran!”
he yelled, his face flushing red in embarrassment, though his intense heartbeat and his body’s response to the kiss betrayed him.
“Kissing,”
Oran licked his lower lip, eyeing Bix. “Should I kiss you again to make you understand?”
“No! Have you lost your mind! You can’t just ”
Bix gritted his teeth, unable to speak the word kiss’ in his embarrassment.
“You mean kiss?”
Oran raised his eyebrows.
“Yes! You can’t just do that!”
Bix protested.
“Why?”
“Because ”
Bix choked on his words before finally stating, “Because I am a man!”
he declared.
“Wow, what a coincidence. I am a man too,”
Oran stated with amusement and crushed his lips against Bix’s again, “And your soulmate.”
***
“Soulmates?”
Willow exclaimed, utterly astonished upon grasping the underlying cause of tension between Oran and Bix all this while.
“Yes,”
Reuben chuckled, affectionately pinching her cheek and reveling in her endearing surprise.
“Since when?”
she blinked inquisitively, completely oblivious to the fact that Alpha Adam was being escorted away by warriors to the prison. At this juncture, Adam was no longer permitted to depart from Emerald pack lands.
“Since they came of age,”
Reuben replied, gently clasping her hand as they began to stroll together in the front yard.
“Goddess! They are soulmates but neither of them ”
“In fact, it’s all due to Bix,”
Reuben interjected. “Bix is too reticent to acknowledge that he’s bonded with a man who happens to also be his close friend. As for Oran, he has harbored feelings for Bix from the start, which Bix pretended not to notice. By the time they recognized each other as their soulmates, Bix was too stunned to accept it. He kept maintaining that friendly relationship with Oran all these years but it is not easy to ignore your mate or mate bond. Of course, Oran is not one to give up easily,”
Reuben elucidated.
Willow’s eyes gleamed with admiration, but their attention was diverted as they both noticed Walter emerging from his car with Ella on his shoulder. She was shouting and hitting his back, but he paid no heed. “Try scratching me again and see what happens,”
he chided, slapping Ella’s buttocks, which startled and embarrassed her before he simply ushered her inside the packhouse.
“Now, what in the world is happening with those two?”
Willow gaped at them, her eyes widening in disbelief.
“It appears that adversaries are transforming into something more,”
Reuben commented.
“You mean ”
Willow bit her lip, her mind racing with possibilities.
Reuben narrowed his eyes at his beloved mate and drew her closer to him. “You concern yourself with everyone and attend to everyone except me,”
he lamented.
Willow blinked in surprise at his abrupt shift in demeanor, finding it hard to contain her smile at his pouting. She gasped dramatically, “The mighty Alpha Reuben needs me to take care of him?”
