Caught Between Them

I opened my eyes to find Brock’s side of the bed empty and I sighed. Not again! Did he regret already? I sighed and slid out of the covers putting on my underwear. I stared at the huge library of books on the wall and smiled. So Brock read books, how cute, a book caught my attention and I saw that I was an old journal written by Brock.

“You know, you shouldn’t snoop” said Brock voice behind me and I whirled around, his journal fell from my hands and he smiled.

“If you want to read that all you have to do his ask” he said and I gave a nervous laugh.

“Umm….. no”‘

“No?” Brock asked and I sighed.

“Fine yeah. I want to see what a person like you writes in a journal” I said and Brock chuckled.

“A person like me? A monster huh?” He said and I grabbed his hands and put them on my chest.

“I’ll never think of you as a monster Brock I that’s what I thought I won’t be here” I said and Brock shook his head.

“What do you see in me. People who care for me dies. My father, my mother, my younger sister, my wife” he said. His eyes were filled with unshed tears suddenly I felt so bad. I have been angry with him when he had been through so much.

“Am. So sorry” I pulled him into a hug. I felt his tears on my neck but I didn’t mind. If Brock was crying that means he was hurt and he needed someone. He pulled away and went to the window, he turned to me, his green eyes were soft.

“You are so good, so nice. Don’t I scare you, I have killed more than you have draw breathe. I have done pretty bad things, Amelia. Bad things.” He said and turned away.

“It’s best you avoid me Amelia I am a cruel soulless person” he added and I shook my head.

“That isn’t going to stop me from loving you, Brock. You are my one to love” I said and he sighed and walked closer to me. He brushed my blond hair from my face and rubbed my chin.

“Such a large heart” he said and stared into my eyes. “I want to kiss you but I won’t” he said and I stared at him in confusion.

“Why?” I asked and he shook his head,

“If I kiss you I won’t stop until you are screaming my name……. under me” he said and I stared at him in challenge.

“I want you too” I said and brushed my lips against his, he closed his eyes then he stepped back and grabbed a bottle of brandy from a table and poured it in a glass.

“Nice try” he said and chugged down the drunk and I groaned.

“Brock! It is rude to leave a woman after she just kissed you” I said and he smirked. He handed me a bottle of brandy and I shook my head. He raised a brow and I sighed and took the glass and sipped slowly.

“It’s feels like yesterday” I said and he turned to me.

“What?” He asked and I smiled. I pushed back his dark hair that fell to his temples.

“Our time in the Rogue lands” I said and his green eyes became unreadable.

“Oh. True” he said and gulped down another glass of brandy. “We were a pretty good team back there” he said and I chuckled.

“You mean all the countless times you ditched me” I said and he burst into laughter.

“Gosh you don’t forget. Do you?” He asked and I shook my head.

“No. I don’t, which is why I am gonna find that bitch you slept with and kill her” I said seriously and he smiled.

“Ohhhhhh, feisty” he said and grinned and for the tenth time this morning I was momentarily stunned by how handsome and young he looked with no trace of the cynicism that usually clouds his eyes.

“You are happy” I observed and he give me a lopsided smile and spread his arms.

“I just banged my friends mate. Why won’t I be happy” he said and I rolled my eyes.

“You don’t have to put it that way, silly” I said and he smiled and put on a shirt.

“I am going to get something” he said and I smiled as he left. Brock seemed happy today and even though he still made snide remarks he did so with humor. I went to my room and met Gwen grinning at me and I stared at her confused.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked and she grinned.

“You just had sex with your alpha’s beta. Am proud of you” she whispered and I smacked her in the arm.

“Don’t you dare think about it” I said and she grinned like she was having the time of her life.

“Can I have him too,” she said running a finger up her thigh sensually and I shook my head. Gwen was a real vixen.

“No Gwen. I am just so happy. Maybe things would work, out all this enemity would stop finally.” I said and she smiled and patted me on the shoulder. She studied her self in the mirror and did a little twirl.

“Just be careful, if Logan finds out, you are Brock are dead meat” she said and I nodded not wanting to think about it. The topic made me had headache and it sometimes makes me feel guilty knowing I don’t love Logan and will never love him.

“It’s fine Gwen. I am going to be fine” I said and tied my hair into a ponytail.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Let’s go workout” I added and Gwen grinned. We packed what we need and headed for the do.

“What will you do when Logan finds out” she asked and I shrugged.

“Then I’ll tell him the truth” I said and sighed. “I love Brock, not him”
