Part two- Chapter 6
“Even in the familiar there can be surprise and wonder.”
― Tierney Gearon
DUNCAN P.O.V
I was distracted by Granel’s question that I didn’t see Tyson getting up from the ground. He curled his fingers in a tight fist and punched me back in the face which forced me to loosen my hold on Sel because she would have fallen down along with me.
“Tyson” Sel screamed and shoved him in the chest. Growling, I looked at him and gritted my teeth. He was growling back at me. “What is the matter with you bro?” Sel asked shoving him again.
“Bro?” I said in a whisper. He is her brother?
“What is the matter with me? Can’t you see that he was trying to take advantage of you” Tyson growled back at her.
“He is my mate” Sel snapped and it felt good to hear her say that. Tyson looked totally taken aback when she said that. He repeatedly kept looking at me and Sel trying to figure something.
“What?” Granel and Raven said at the same time.
“He wasn’t trying anything, I swear” Sel continued, ignoring Raven who was rushing towards her in delight.
I saw Tyson’s growl decreasing until he sighed. My wolf calmed down after that. However I still didn’t exactly get their relationship like how where they related?
“Oh my God! I am so happy for you Sel” Raven squealed hugging Sel tightly. “Congratulations” she continued still squealing. Sel had her back towards me and so I couldn’t really see her expression. Tyson was still staring at me intently.
“Glad you found yours” Granel said standing beside me and I nodded. “Sel is a wonderful person” he told me his voice deep with emotion. My wolf didn’t appreciate it but I ignored him since Granel already has a mate.
“Seems like I don’t need to set you up at all because nature has already done it” Raven told pulling away from Sel. Granel went to hug her at the same time Raven came to hug me. “Congrats” she told me and I bobbed once.
“Oh common Tyson. You knew this would happen” Raven told Tyson who had his arms crossed against his chest and openly frowning at me. I growled at him because brother or not I didn’t appreciate his behavior.
Sel turned to look at him and I knew the both were talking through the mind link. After few minutes, Tyson huffed and pulled Sel closer. He hugged and ruffled her hair. He then walked towards me and extended his hands to me. “Tyson Grier” he introduced himself in an emotionless tone and I extended mine too.
“Duncan Rhoades” I told in the same tone shaking his hands.
“Whatever. You hurt her or try to take advantage of her I will kill you” Tyson threatened and I roared loudly.
“I appreciate your concern but she is my mate” I told him and he rolled his eyes. I so badly wanted to injure this guy.
“Oh look you guys made up” Raven spoke, clapping her hands cheerfully before I could rip the wolf’s head off. Tyson didn’t reply just stormed inside the house. Made up my ass! I still wanted to kill the guy and I knew the feeling was mutual from him.
“Okay. Uh….. Raven, I need your help in something honey” Granel said walking away and tugging Raven with him.
I and Sel both stared at them until they vanished from our view. “Sorry about Tyson. He is very protective of me” she said smiling.
“How are you guys related?” I asked Seline.
“First cousins. His dad and my mom are siblings” she replied picking up her cell phone.
“Alpha Grier-”
“Was my uncle” she completed softly. Alpha Grier was killed by the famous O.
“I am sorry about that” I told her.
“You have nothing to be sorry about.” she said shaking her head.
“So… I don’t think I have officially introduced myself” I told her and she smiled which brought back those dimples.
“I know who you are Alpha Duncan Rhoades” she said smiling and I couldn’t help but smile back at her. It felt nice to hear her saying my name.
“Glad to hear that Seline Norwood” I told her and we both shook our hands that had electricity spreading everywhere. She stared at me intently but didn’t speak anything for some time.
“Do you feel that?” she asked me staring at my eyes and I nodded. I could feel the current running all over my body that made me want to lose all control.
“So, are you busy right now?” I asked her trying to sound casual. I desperately wanted her with me.
“Why? Are you asking me out?” she asked me.
“What if say yes to that?”
“Then my answer is also yes” she said smiling and I started pulling her towards my car.
We went to a restaurant in town and had our dinner there where we just spoke about each other. Seline Capricia Norwood is soon to be twenty years old and is the only daughter to her parents. She teaches dance in the boarding school but it’s just a part time job for her because she is studying Business Management through correspondence. She is staying in an apartment in wing B along with a roommate, who is her dad’s Third-in-commands daughter.
When I told her about my dad she said nothing but just placed her hands over mine in a reassuring way and I was glad for that. I actually enjoyed her company a lot and have never ever felt like this before with anyone. Seline is different and I am glad she was chosen as my mate. My wolf felt stronger when we were around her because she was my other half.
Later, I parked my car below her apartment. “Which floor?” I asked her leaning against my car.
“Seventh. Room number 703” she said and I smirked.
“Is that an invitation?” I asked her.
“No” she blurted. “My roommate is up there and Tyson stays in 704” she said grinning while I frowned.
“What is he, your sentinel?” I asked her.
“He is nothing compared to Tyler” she said.
“Tyler?” I asked her.
“Tyson’s older and identical twin” she said.
“He has a twin?”
“Yep, Tyler is the Alpha now” she said smiling. “Tyson is nothing compared to Tyler. They are around five and half months older than me. We have grown up together since we are of the same age and we were all home schooled too”
“Why?”
“It’s just Aunt Lily, Twin bro’s mom is human and so Uncle Rick never wanted them to go to school if there would be any bullying and all. When my dad came to know about this he too wanted me to be homeschooled. So twin bro’s came to our pack and they used to live with us until we completed our studying”
“Didn’t Tyson want the title?” I asked her.
“Na, he wasn’t interested and according to the custom it should go to the first born which is Tyler, besides Tyler had found his mate first when he was eighteen and so, everyone wanted him to take the position.”
“What about Tyson?”
“He is currently studying his correspondence here and he is working with Granel. He is happy with that” Sel said and then checked her watch. “I got to go. Have to get up early for work tomorrow” she said and I nodded. “Thanks Duncan, I had a great time” she said kissing my cheeks. The way her lips pressed against my skin wanted me to have more of her.
That is why when Seline turned to walk away I caught her arms and pushed her against my car. Before she could even protest I crashed my lips against her soft ones. Initially she seemed too shocked to react but then slowly, she started kissing me back. The electricity when we touched was nothing compared to how it felt when we were kissing. I could feel her heart beating rapidly just like mine.
My whole body was aching with desire when she placed her hands on my chest. The small moan she gave was driving me nuts. It was like music to my ears and I knew I would never get tired of it. I knew I needed to take a cold shower as soon as I get into my room.
We pulled away to catch our breaths. Resting my forehead against hers I gazed on her beet red face and flushed lips. I smiled in satisfaction because I was the cause of that. It made me proud that she would be mine and only mine.
“Why did you do that?” she asked me breathlessly.
“I wanted to do that since I saw you” I told her and kissed her again.
“I have to go” she whispered when I pulled away. “I will see you tomorrow?” she asked me hopefully and I nodded.
“I will come to meet you tomorrow” I told her and she smiled showing me those dimples.
“Bye” she said and walked away. I watched her until the elevator door closed after she got into it.
Having found Seline made me realize that I still have a family left. I still have someone just for me. It made me happy.
The next day around lunch time, I took a break from my work and rushed to the school to meet Seline. I just wanted to see her. My wolf was literally whining the whole morning without her. I was already behaving like a love sick puppy when it came to Seline. I didn’t tell my pack members yet that I found my mate. I wanted to ask her first if she was ready to be introduced to them. My main goal when it came to Seline was not to rush things with her. I just didn’t want her running away from me. I needed her in my life.
I was now in the boarding school and a lot had changed here. It felt like they are trapping kids here in the name of security. No wonder Granel was in a venture with the other Alpha’s. The environment here has changed a lot.
