“You said you’d court-martial him,” she says sternly.
“Yes. With my fists. And maybe my teeth.”
“Evander…”
“Listen. You don’t have to like it. It isn’t nice. But that’s kind of the way things are done in the Frat Pack.”
As we get into the van, Briony raises an eyebrow. “So, you admit, you’re part of a group of assholes, and the name fits.”
“The name fits. But we’re young male wolves, Bri. We need to keep each other in line, and sometimes we fuck it up. I’m trying to do better. I’m trying to be the beta for this pack,” I add. “But I’m not… I’m not Thorne. I don’t know how to do things right sometimes.”
She doesn’t answer.
I start the van, and we rumble back toward the wolf side of the territory. Briony keeps running her fingers through her hair, which I notice is something of a nervous habit. When we’re about two minutes away from Briony’s house, she turns to me.
“Thank you for helping.”
Then she gets out.
Leaving me confused, and a little shell-shocked.
And still thinking of her lips.
Chapter 7
Briony
Imake it the whole day before guilt compels me to go to Evander’s house.
Being the beta, everyone knows where he lives.
Including me.
I feel terrible.
I’ve always thought that Evander had a bad attitude. That he didn’t care, that he was an asshole for no reason.
However, in the van, I realized something.
Evander does care. Very much. He cares about a lot of stuff, including how to do his role in the pack.
He just doesn’t think he’s as good as Thorne.
I’m not one to get in the middle of their sibling stuff, but I do need him to know one thing. I want him to realize that, back there at the fox compound, he wasn’t just a good beta.
He was a great one.
I could have called him. I debated doing that. But, on top of the fact that I feel really guilty for thinking the worst of him basically all the time, I have something else on my mind.
That kiss.
Okay, it wasn’t a kiss. But damn. It was not a kiss, and it was better than any kiss I’ve ever had in my life.
It’s like a compulsion. I don’t just want to see him again.
I have to.
So now, it’s twilight, and I’m outside of Evander’s house.
