Caught Between Them

I made an excuse to Logan that I was going to the toilet then I ran after Brock whose long legs were making it hard for me to catch up.

“Brock” I called but he didn’t stop so I ran and grabbed his arm. He turned, his expression unreadable.

“What?” He snapped but I ignored him and stared at him in wonder.

“You’re alive” I said and he scowled, and removed his arm from my grasp.

“Go and meet your mate. Fucking leave me alone” he growled. I stared at him, he looked angry.

“Are you jealous?” I teased and his nose flared, he grabbed me and shove me into a wall.

“Say that again and I will….. will… I” he stuttered . I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck.

“You can do nothing to me Brock.” I said softly, I leaned closer and he pushed himself away.

“Vixen” he growled, “Who is teaching you this?” He asked and I grinned. Gwen had been teaching me how to seduce a man, glad I learned.

“No one” I said then I scowled. “Why did you leave me” I asked, serious. His green eyes darkened.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“I don’t have to explain myself to you” he said and I barked out a laugh harshly.

“Yeah you do.” I insisted then I slapped him, hard. Tears pooled in my eyes. “You promised, it’s because of you I agreed to be Logan’s mate” I yelled. Brock stare was a cold as ice. He walked closer to me, intimidate me with his gigantic height.

“You sound like this is an obligation. That you and I are something. Well you’re wrong, you are nothing to me Amelia. What we had that night was a mistake. Goodbye.” He said and walked away.

“Brock!” I called

“Brock!”

But he didn’t even look back, didn’t even stop. He just walked away like I didn’t exist.

_______________________________________

I woke up to a pounding headache and I groaned. Last night had ended up badly for me. When Logan spotted Brock, the two embraced and Logan made the party more intense and wild in celebration for Brock’s return.

My room door opened and Gwen walked in, she frowned when she saw my face.

“Headache?” She asked and I nodded. She opened a shelf and brought out a tonic. “Here” she said and I drank a little.

“Where is Logan?” I asked. Gwen opened the curtains allowing the sunlight to filter through.

“Away with Brock” she said and grinned. “Oh my God, now that the beta his back. I am so totally into him” she said and did a little skip. I glared at her back, annoyance bubbles inside me much to my disgust.

“You can’t date him, he has a girlfriend” I lied and Gwen opened her mouth in surprise.

“Oh” she said then narrowed her eyes. “How did you know?” She asked and I shrugged.

“We are good friends. He told me himself” I lied again but she seem to buy it and nodded.

“Then I’ll keep on banging my crush” she said and I glared at her.

“Do you have to point that out?” I asked and she grinned.

“Come on, Logan said I should show you the gardens” Gwen said and helped me slip into better clothes, she smacked my butt and I tapped her in the head. We burst into laughter and headed for the garden. The gardens were so beautiful that I was awestruck. I had always been a sucker for sunflowers and here they were, everywhere.

“Like it?” came a voice and we turned to see Logan and his taller beta watching us. I stared at Brock whose cold eyes bore into mine before moving away.

“Yes” I answered Logan who grinned and smacked Brock in the arm.

“I knew she would like it” he said and Brock grinned at Logan, a genuine one that had me melting.

“Who doesn’t like your garden buddy” he said and the two of them roared out in laughter. Beside me Gwen muttered something that sounded like. ‘Oh heavens’ and I knew she was referring to Brock.

“Brock, you watch the girls. I am gonna head up for a nap” Logan said and Brock opened his mouth to say something then he thought better of it and nodded.

“Sleep well, tight butts” he said to Logan and I raised a brow. Did he just call Logan tight butts? Logan grinned and waved him off. Brock walked away from us as soon as Logan left and plopped into a bench. Gwen tore her arm from mine and rushed to sit beside him. Brock turned and studied her then he relaxed and stared ahead.

“Hi” Gwen said but he ignored her and I almost laughed. If she thought that’s how to approach Brock then she is in for a surprise. She tapped Brock on the shoulder and he stared at her hand like it was a snake.

“Get your hands off me” he said icily and Gwen frowned, she glanced at me and mouthed the word. ‘This is your friend?’ I grinned and nodded. Gwen forced a smile and turned to Brock.

“I like you” she said and I stumbled back, shocked. How the hell did she have the nerve? I expected Brock to make a snide remark but he smiled, and I got the hint. That was a warning to Gwen.

“Well I don’t like you” Brock said and shoved his hands into his pocket.

“Why?” Gwen asked and he shrugged. His eyes met mine briefly and they hardened.

“I don’t have to tell you anything” he said and rose to his feet and walked away heading in the direction of the forest. Gwen slipped a hand up her thighs and I fought the urge not to growl, was she getting turned on talking to Brock.

“You must be crazy” I stated and she grinned.

“Your beta is freaking hot. Cold, brooding and arrogant. My spec.” She said and rose.

“I am going in to huh….” She motioned between her legs, “Finish this” she said and went off. I sighed, Crazy Gwen. I turned to the forest and remembered Brock went there. This was my chance to get him to talk to me. I took off, running for the forest.

You’re mine Brock. Whether you like it or not.
