1. Brothers

KIAN

I had just spent the moming attending to paperwork and was tempted to go see what she was up to. I wasn’t even halfway down the stairs when I heard her.

“I said, move away! I will hurt you!”

“Miss, are you ok?”

My heart skipped a beat as I ran down the stairs in a blur, only to see Morgana’s fangs out as she backed away against the wall from Jody and Lorna, who were steadily approaching her.

“I said I’m dangerous. Go away!” She snapped, stumbling as she fell backwards.

I stopped in my tracks; she wasn’t attacking them… Where were those fucking fools? I would see to them… but…

My gaze snapped back to her, as I watched her struggle. I would jump to protect the pups if need be, but seeing her do her best not to hurt them made a strange emotion tighten in my chest.

She looked beautiful, even though she looked pale as death. Her cherry red lips were dry and the struggle i n her eyes as she stared at the children before her was apparent.

“You’re fucking twisted!” She spat. “Isn’t this child under your care?”

I cocked a brow; her struggle was obvious. The black top she wore clung to her breasts; they heaved rapidly, hanging off one shoulder, her creamy skin so appetising. Just thinking of feeling her against me once more made me throb.

I frowned coldly, hating the effect she had on me.

I walked over to her, grabbing her by her hair and pushing her closer to Loma, who looked a little afraid

now.

Her scent was intoxicating to me, and with each moment in her presence, my self-control was fucking weakening.

“I’m giving you a chance. Drink.”

Her only reply was to glare at me with hatred burning in those deep red eyes of hers.

“Fuck you.” She spat with so much venom that I wondered how it was even possible for someone so beautiful to hold so much hatred.

I scoffed, about to say something when her eyes fluttered. She tried to force them open, but she failed,

“A-Alpha…” Lorna asked, her eyes filled with worry and uncertainty.

I frowned, I hadn’t even realised that I could have scared them…

“You should go play outside.” I said quietly. “And stay away from this woman.” I added coldly. Alec nodded, grabbing the girl’s hands and running off.

The moment they were gone, I scooped her up. She barely weighed anything…
