8 | Moonlight Kiss

Michael.

Mathew's brother was standing right in front of me, with a toothy smile. He had his hands in his pockets and he seemed nervous.

"Thank you for coming." He said and stepped to me.

"Yeah, um... I thought you, you...were..." I rambled, not knowing what to say. This was my mates's brother we were talking about. "What am I doing here?" I asked.

He smiled and then frowned, "I just wanted to apologize, you know... for the hit."

"Yeah... don't worry." I said and we stood in an awkward silence.

What was I supposed to do?

I found it weird Michael wanted to see me. I'd never spoken more than a few words to him. I wonder if he knew his brother was my mate.

"You are very pretty, you knew that?" He said shy, stepping forward at the same time I took a step back.

"Thanks."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Are you one of my brother's conquests?" He asked and I'm pretty sure my eyes widen in surprise.

Conquests? Mathew's conquests? What the hell was he talking about and why didn't I know he had conquests?

"What do you mean?" I asked curious, it never crossed my mind Mathew had other girls before me. But, giving it a thought... How couldn't he? He was handsome, an Alpha, he was just perfect.

"Yeah, you know... girls that are just around for a little while. Girls that... fool around." he said a bit embarrassed.

I blushed and thought about asking Mathew about this. I was starting to get jealous. I had never, not even once been with a man. Mathew had been my first kiss  and all I could think about was, I hadn't been his. He had probably hundreds of female werewolves at his feet.

Maybe even prettier than me.

"No." I frowned. "I don't fool around."

"Thought so. You seem nice, different from the others." He grabbed my hand, startling me. He was very close to me now. "He has too many to count, after all. He is the Alpha."

"Mi-ichael, er... I should probably go." I mumbled, feeling my mood wrecking.

The thought of Mathew and other girls, angering me.

"No, please. Is just that, I really like you."

Oh sh... How did I answer that?

"I.." he trailed off and his hands cupped my cheeks. Damn, he was going to kiss me.

"Michael, wait!" I pushed him and backed away. "You can't do that."

He looked puzzled and tried to hold my hand. "You can't kiss me."

"Why..?" I was about to interrupt him, when a husky voice coming from the trees, stopped him.

"Step away from her."

Mathew came out from nowhere. He had this angry look that actually made me a bit scared. He didn't have his signature panty-dropping smile instead he looked as if he wanted to murder someone, his brother.

Mathew circled my waist with his arm and growled to Michael. I shivered, when his hot skin pressed against mine and I would've kissed him if it wasn't for the situation.

"Mine." He said firmly, followed by another empowering growl that made Michael backed away and bowed.

"Leave." He ordered, and I knew Mathew wasn't talking him in the brother-to-brother way. He was showing his Alpha, his wolf.
