scoff on your perfect pack’s record? I am sure Andrew
trying to off her reflects a little poorly on the pack leader.”
“I
swear I am not in the mood for you,” Dominic growled as he stepped towards
Brayden threateningly.
“Both
of you stop. There is no time for fighting. Kylie needs to decide where she
goes and who she trusts. Obviously she has many doubts about us,” Micah said
softly.
“Well
I am the only one who hasn’t betrayed her. I am not exactly excited about being
a father, but I wouldn’t kill her or send my council after her,” Brayden said
amused.
“I
didn’t send my council after her!” Dominic yelled then shoved Brayden.
“Stop
both of you!” I yelled angrily. “Brayden, Lucy was in on the plan to kill the
babies so you are in no better standing then Dominic or Micah. I want all of
you to get out. I will come to you when I decide what I want to do.”
“Lucy
has been properly reprimanded. I noticed Andrew is still on the council.”
Brayden looked directly at Dominic as he spoke like he was trying to irritate
Dominic.
I
looked at Dominic confused. “How is he still on the council?” I asked
horrified.
“I
can’t dismiss a council member,” Dominic said defensively.
“No,
but you can kill him. I would have,” Brayden countered.
“Not
everything has to be done with brute force. Andrew is not alone in his fear and
it will only cause problems if I go around killing council members,” Dominic
snapped.
Brayden
smiled. “You see that is where you and I are very different. My pack swears to
serve me, if they betray that they know the punishment is death. There is no
diplomatic bullshit. Diplomatic bullshit gets people killed.”
“My
pack members don’t have to fear death just because they have a difference of
opinion.” Dominic was getting angrier as he spoke. His hands were balled into
fists and I knew he was barely holding onto his temper.
Brayden
was trying to piss Dominic off; that was clear. “A difference of opinion and
trying to murder my child are too very different situations. Fear or not, Lucy
knew what she was doing.”
“You
killed Lucy?” I asked startled as I looked at Brayden.
He
looked at me. “Of course, it is the rules.”
I
was a little shocked. I didn’t say anything. I never thought Brayden would kill
Lucy over this. I could see his point, but it was still a little brutal. I
looked away from him. “I want you all to leave. Give me time. I will stay here
for now,” I said quietly.
Dominic
looked like he wanted to argue, but Micah shook his head. Dominic scowled and
stalked out. Brayden followed him. Micah hesitated as he closed the door. “Do
what is best for you Kylie,” he said softly then shut the door.
I
groaned and closed my eyes as I flopped down on the bed. I really had no clue
what to do. At this point I didn’t know what was best for me.
I
woke up when I felt some one crawl onto the bed next to me. Brayden’s scent hit
me and I immediately relaxed. It was dark in the room, but I could see the
outline of his body as he climbed on the bed next to me. He was naked. Just the
outline of his perfect body excited me. I could see the outline of his hard
cock. He didn’t say anything as he settled between my legs; he didn’t have too.
I knew what he wanted; I wanted it too. He ran his hand over my belly; then
buried his face in my neck. My pulse quickened when he began to lay gentle
kisses along my neck. He slowly trialed them up my jaw and to my mouth. He
pressed his lips to mine and kissed me aggressively. My body responded to him
and I moaned in anticipation. He slid his hands slowly up my thighs. The
tingling sensations of his hands on my skin overwhelmed me. He ran his fingers
teasingly along my panty line.
“Brayden,”
I moaned against his mouth. He was teasing me, and it was driving me insane.
He
laughed softly, and slowly slid my panties down. “You are so impatient,” he
teased.
I
pressed my mouth to his. “Shut up
