Rylee POV
He wanted to know and he was right, we needed to get to know each other. I told him the story of Xavier and we've been silent for about 3 minutes. "Are you going to say anything?" I asked finally. "What kind of asshole does that?" I couldn't help but laugh a little, "That's all you have to say?" He shrugged. "Now tell me about this wolf?" I shrugged at that. "There's not much to tell, I don't know who it is. He showed up one night and he sorta told me it was a member of the pack but I've only seen him as the wolf, he shifted once to his human form but stayed in the shadows so I didn't see him. but he's come by 2 times and its just been us sitting looking at the stars as I basically spill my guts to him. He has a calming presence about him and its nice. Relaxing even. Are you mad?" He was clenching his fist. He released it. "When wolves find their mates they don't want an unmated opposite s*x around them. This male doesn't know you're mine yet, so he might try to claim you." I looked down. "Why don't you come next times he's here and you can meet him and let him know I'm you're mate." He had a slight smirk on his face but didn't say anything. "what?" "Are you accepting me as you're mate?" He said smiling. His smile was so beautiful that you couldn't help but smile back at him. "Well I have to don't I?"
His smile fell instantly and a look of sadness followed. I place my hand on his knee and waited "If you don't want to be with me you can reject me. All you have to do is say I, then say you're name, here by reject you say my name as my mate. And then it'll be done."
"Why is that making you sad?" There was something else there besides the not wanting to be rejected. "If you do it, it causes us pain. Like our heart is being ripped out. You may not feel it but we do. So being rejected scares us" I didn't say anything I sat there with my head down thinking. "So if I don't want to be with you I can reject you. Will that put my family in danger?" He shook his head. "We don't hurt humans unless they try to hurt us. You're family will be safe as long as the reside here." I smile and nodded. "Wait what about college? My scholarship?" He looked sad. "I wouldn't want you to leave and we'd have to see each other as often as possible cause after marking being away from each other weakens us both. But if going to college is what you want to do then I will support it." I scooted closer to him till we were inches away. "Thank you. Thank you for opening up more about who you are." We started to lean in when my bedroom door came flying open. Ryder stood there out of breathe and a look of relief washed over him. "Thank god, I was worried I was going to walk in on a scene I'm sure would scar me for life." He says trying to catch his breath. "Then why did you fling the door open like that and not just knock?" I asked a little annoyed with my twin. "Cause I'm your brother, you're twin. when dad isn't here to make sure 4 feet stay on the floor and do a hand check, I have to." He says smirking like he's proud of that. "Yea I'm also older so respect your elders." I say tossing a couch pillow at him. "By 2 minutes. Ill be back." he says taking the pillow with him and closing the door. I glared at the door and stood up. "I'll be right back."
I walked to Ryders room gave it second and swung the door open rushed him knowing he'd be on or near his bed. I was right he was standing on the foot of his bed. I tackled him and took his pillows and started hitting him endless with them. He was on the floor trying the shield himself while I stood over him. Just hitting him. "Had enough?" I asked stopping for second. He nodded. "Good then." I helped him up and grabbed the pillow from the couch. Started to walk out and as i got to the door I turned and misled the pillow at him hitting him square in the face. "Love you brother" I said closing the door.
When I came back to my room Aiden was still sitting on the couch scrolling on his phone. "What happened I heard a thud." He said putting in on the cushion next to him as I walked in and sat down. "Oh i tackled him and beat his ass with his pillows." He gave me a curious look with an eyebrow raised. "Its just something we do as brother and sister." "Will you do that to me?" He asked with a playful smirk. I put my hand on my chin like I was really pondering it. "Well considering I've already punched you in the face I think you can handle a real beating. Of course we can try the pillow and see who is the better pillow fighter." I say grabbing the only other pillow on the couch and flipping like I was inspecting my weapon. "Careful beautiful you don't want to start a war you cant finish." He said in a low voice that made my body shiver. I c****d an eyebrow and swung. He caught the pillow and ripped it out of my hands. My eyes went wide as I flipped myself over the couch.
I scrambled to my feet and ran for the pillows on my bed as I reached it I felt something hard hit my back and wrap around me as i landed on my side on the bed. Soon I was flipped and pinned under Aiden. His giant body was sitting on my hips and he had my hands pinned above my head. I tried to wiggle out from him but he was too strong for me. I was able to get my hands lose once before his grip got tighter. I was laughing and he was. When I stopped struggling cause I was out of breath, we just stared at each other. When an evil little smirk crept onto his face. "you're not ticklish are you?" My eyes widened and I start to fight him again. He ended up grabbing both my wrists in one hand and then with the other moved my shirt up showing my stomach as his finger grazed and started to tickle me.
He tickled me till I was crying and scream "I CAVE I CAVE. YOU WIN." He stopped as I was panting for air. "You win. "I said again once I could breath again. "What do I get for winning?" I could feel my cheek heat up as we looked at each other. "What do you want?" I knew what he was going to say, I knew what he wanted and I was willing to play his game for the time being. "A kiss?" He questioned. "ok" was all I could get out. I knew that what he was going to want as he leaned down I braced myself his lips. When we touched lips there was a spark. As his lips move against mine the heated pull I felt was strong. He let go of my wrists and placed his hands on either side of my head as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. I've made out with guys obviously i wasn't that innocent. But this kiss was something different. His body pressed against mine, his hands on my waist. My hands ran from his biceps to his shoulders, then down his chest, he was a f*****g wall. His tongue tangled with mine and when I bit his bottom lip I heard him growl. He broke our kiss and placed his forehead on my chest as we both panted and I ran my finger tips across the back of his neck. "Well that wasn't slow." He said it seemed more to himself than to me. "One kiss wont hurt. It wont hurt if it happens again too." I say and he looks up and smiles. "Slow, but i wont mind." He said.
He got up and pulled me with him. "Lets watch a movie since i have to stay up." I suggested and he nodded. We sat on the couch and picked a movie off Netflix. I curled under his arm sitting next to him, was warm and cozy even. I could feel my eye lids start to fall no mater how hard I tried to keep them open.
