Filed To Story: Mated To Big Brother-in-law
I felt empty inside me the moment he moved away from me. I could not believe he could come this close to me, only to turn his back on me as if he did not feel the mate bond as much as I did.
I did not know where my fate was taking me. I felt lost without direction, and I had no hopes for my future. It was a complicated time in my life, and I struggled to find my purpose and meaning.
I left his cabin in a gloomy mood. I had no idea why I was feeling sad.
Shouldn’t I be happy that he would never interfere in my life as long as I stayed away from his brother?
The problem was my wolf. She was not happy with her mate’s words. I was so done with my wolf and my confused heart that I felt hurt for such a cruel reason.
I returned to my cabin and started to work.
While working, I couldn’t keep track of time. A knock on the door interrupted my work.
“Please, come in.”
Miss Selena opened the door and reminded me,
“Dear, it’s already 8 p.m. Won’t you go home?”
I was stunned and turned my head to the wall clock.
“Oh, no,” I mumbled and got to my feet.
I told my mom that I would go back early today. But I was so into my work that I had forgotten about time.
“Thanks, Miss,” I said to Miss Selena.
She chuckled at me. “You are a really hard-working girl.”
She left my room, and I started to gather up my things from the desk and then put them in my backpack.
I grabbed my phone and noticed a few messages from my mother.
I replied to her messages, saying that I was on the way.
When I stepped out of my cabin, I noticed Bryan also came out of his office.
I ignored him as I hurriedly walked to the elevator.
There were two elevators, one for the other employees and another for the CEO to use.
I waited in front of the ordinary elevator. Miss Selena was there too, waiting for it. I smiled at her, and she gave a nod at me. She was also working until now.
I glanced beside me and saw Bryan entering the other elevator. With him was another man talking to him. I assumed he was giving him details about some project.
It took me a minute to wait for the elevator to arrive at the top floor of the building. Together with Miss Selena, I walked in as soon as the door opened.
After saying my goodbyes to Miss Selena, I exited the elevator and made my way to the entrance area as soon as it reached the ground floor.
As I walked out of the company, I saw Bryan talking with Troy.
I parted my lips as I remembered that Troy had told me he would wait for me outside.
When I realized that I had almost forgotten about him, I shook my head. He might be waiting for me for an hour.
I walked in his direction. As I moved closer, I was able to hear them talking to each other.
“What are you still doing here?” Bryan asked Troy.
“Alpha, I was waiting for someone,” Troy replied politely.
At that time, his eyes fell on me, and he said,
“There she is.”
Bryan turned around to look, and his gaze met mine.
Bryan frowned at me as if he did not expect me to be the person Troy was waiting for.
I shifted my attention to Troy, who smiled at me. I stopped in front of him.
“I’m sorry for being late.”
“It’s okay,” he replied to me.
Bryan turned to Troy and asked, “You know her?”
“Of course, Alpha. She is-“
“Let’s go, Troy. We are getting late.” I cut him off.
He glanced at Bryan and bowed to him. “Permit me to leave, Alpha.”
Bryan gave him a nod. Troy started going in the direction of his car, which was directly across the street from where we were standing.
I was about to follow him when I heard Bryan say,
“I think you forgot you were in front of your boss. Why did you cut him when he was talking to me?”
I turned to him. I did not know where I got the strength to talk back, but I replied,
“Working hours are over. You are not my boss, and I am not your employee right now.”
He raised an eyebrow and stepped toward me. I took a step back.
He stopped in front of me and muttered,
“Is that so? Then don’t forget, I am the head Alpha of your pack.”
“Even if I want, I can’t forget that,” I mumbled in a lower tone.
He stared at me with a pair of angry eyes. I did not know what I had done to this man to make him angry.
However, I turned in the direction of Troy’s car.
“Goodbye, Alpha,” I said to Bryan without looking at him, and I walked to Troy’s car.
Troy started the car as he waited for me while sitting in the driver’s seat. I climbed onto the passenger seat and glanced at the window.
I saw Bryan gazing at me.
I ignored him as the car started to move forward.
“How do you know Alpha Bryan?” I asked Troy while looking at the road.
“What are you saying, Sophia? He is our head Alpha and the CEO of our company.”
“I didn’t mean it. I mean, he doesn’t talk to his employees much, but he was talking to you. So..”
“Oh. I think he likes my style of working. Since I am the financial director, I usually talk to him much more than other managers.”
I remembered when I came across Troy this morning. He might be going to meet Bryan.
“Oh,” I uttered in response.
“What about you?”
I turned to him. “What about me?”
“You look on good terms with him.”
My brows shot up at hearing that. “Really? Why did you think so?”
“You cut me off in the middle of the conversation when I was talking to him. But he still did not say anything to you. Then you didn’t bow to him. Both of your actions were kind of disrespectful to Alpha. But if you are close to him, then he can consider it as he did just now.”
I frowned as I thought about how he scolded me for trying to leave his office room without his permission on the interview day. But then, today, I left his cabin a few times without his permission, and he did not scold me for that.
“Only a few people have the luck that Alpha Bryan appreciates. I hope you are one of them.” I heard him again.
I nodded my head without replying to him. How would I tell others who Bryan was to me? As a mate, he should not only appreciate but also behave well toward me, which he did not do at all.
During the whole ride, I was silent. My mind kept replaying the moment when Bryan came close to me in his office. The sensation was something I had never felt with someone else.
His words did not leave my head. I could not believe that there was no way to break the bond. How could I live like that?
The car stopped in front of my house.
Troy and I knocked on the door. Immediately, his mother, Sabrina, opened the door.
