Bonded to My Ex's Alpha Brother (by CalebWhite) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

“Don’t play with my mind, Erin,” I whispered in her ear, my voice rough with desire. I wasn’t sure if I was talking to her or to myself. She made me lose control, and as an Alpha, losing control was unacceptable.

Yet I couldn’t help but graze her earlobe lightly with my teeth, leaving an almost–mark. I wanted to mark her, to let everyone know she was mine. The impulse was so strong that it took all my strength to stop there.

She turned in my embrace to face me, looking up at me, those large eyes no longer carrying the laughter from before. She looked almost shocked, her expression filled with emotion. I worried I had crossed a line, done something she didn’t want. I stepped back, giving her space, guilt washing over me.

To my surprise, Erin moved forward, wrapping her arms around me and burying her face against my chest. I could feel her heart racing in time with mine.

Her body was soft against mine, and I had to take a deep breath to maintain my sanity. She smelled so good, felt so right nestled in my arms, as if that was where she belonged.

“I’ll take you home,” I said, trying to make my voice sound normal. “You don’t look well.”

She shook her head in protest, nuzzling against my chest. “No, no. Hold me. I can’t walk.”

I frowned, confused. “You were dancing just fine. Now you can’t walk?”

“I just can’t,” she insisted, clutching my shirt. Her voice had risen, drawing attention from those around us.

I sighed. This was an excuse, and we both knew it. But if the excuse gave me a reason to hold her in my arms, I was willing to go along with it.

I bent down to lift her up, one arm supporting her back, the other under her knees. She was lighter than I had expected, appearing even smaller in my arms.

I made my way through the crowded club, feeling everyone’s eyes on us. I didn’t care. Let them look. Let them see the Alpha Derek Stone carrying someone in his arms. Let them see that no one could approach a woman who

nged to him.

I searched for her friends. “Where are your friends?” I asked, displeasure evident. “They left you alone with another man. They clearly don’t care about you.”

Erin let out a small laugh, as if my comment was absurd. “They do care,” she countered, her voice soft and fuzzy. “They didn’t leave me with just any man. They left me with my Soul Bond.”

I stopped abruptly, looking down at her sharply. “You told them about this?” I asked, my voice tense. The Soul Bond was supposed to be private, and we hadn’t even accepted it yet. How could she tell others?

She nodded, smiling up at me. “They know what you mean to me. You’re my man, my Pack Alpha.”

Outside the club, my driver immediately spotted me, bringing the black car closer. When he saw me carrying Erin, surprise flashed briefly across his face before he quickly opened the rear door for me.

I carefully placed Erin on the back seat, then sat beside her. She looked exhausted, relaxing almost immediately in the

quiet environment of the car. I found myself unable to look away from her.

“Where to, Alpha?” my driver inquired, his eyes meeting mine in the rearview mirror.

Though Erin’s eyes were closed, she clearly heard the question. “Please don’t take me home. I’ll get in trouble for drinking. My mother will be angry.”

“Take me home,” I decided. My private residence would be the safest option.

On the drive back, I noticed Erin shifting uncomfortably in her seat. She looked so innocent, so unguarded, completely different from how she appeared at the office.

To my surprise, Erin leaned toward me, resting her head against my chest. This simple gesture of intimacy made my heart race. She sighed contentedly, seeming satisfied.

“I want to sleep here,” she murmured. “You’re warm. You smell good. My wolf likes everything about you.”

Erin fell asleep in my arms, her head still resting on my chest. I quietly adjusted her into a more comfortable position but

kept her in contact. She smiled slightly in her sleep, snuggling closer.
