not his first mate now novel Chapter 24

"After I left for business I find that you've vanished, five years Lilly." I could hear the frustration in his voice and felt bad for doing nothing wrong.

"And then to have my little brother call and tell me he's expecting a baby with YOU and not his second mate." I could feel the anger roll off him in waves as it hits me, I look up to see his eyes are closed and he's leaning against the bench behind me. Before I could do anything, my wolf makes me stand up and hug him, Xander's arms instantly wrap around my small frame. Neither one of us spoke we just stood there hugging each other. I could hear his steady heart beat, my body relaxes into him as he runs his finger across my skull, I could feel my eyes starting to welcome the darkness of sleep. A loud bang from a door was herd and I flew away from Xander and moved to the other side of the bench. I herd him growl at my sudden detachment to him, but instead I bent down into the cupboard and grab a big bowl.

"Hello Dontae, what bring you here?" I hear Xander ask in a casual voice, I could just picture him with his large arms crossed at his broad chest and a small smile on his pink lips. Fuck that man and what he brings, I grumble to my wolf who just wags her tail high and purrs in my head.

"Why are you here brother? I didn't even know you had arrived yet!" I could hear Dontae taking steps into the kitchen.

"I came to say hi to my dear Sister in-law." Those words sounded wrong coming from his mouth, I finally rise from behind the bench. My back to them both, I head to the cupboard and grab the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies.

"And did you say hi to my queen?" my heart skips a beat at the though of Dontae finally thinking of me first for once.

"I know Chrissy would like to see you again." and my hopes died with his words.

"No I haven't seen your MATE, but U have seen my little flower here." and my heart missed a beat once again, I smile to myself at the thought of Xander calling me by his little nick name he gave me long ago when I was little.

It's crazy how I could love both of these men, but for some weird reason I did and I couldn't stop it.

"Why do you insist on calling her flower? brother use her name, where not little children any more." Dontae grumbles like a little kid, I shake my head at his selfishness and the place the cookie dough on a tray then put them in the oven.

"Because it annoys the hell out of you brother."Xander laughs, I watch as Dontae stares at his brother with a small smile

"Besides doesn't she look like a dainty little flower?" Xander gives me a wink and I blush bright red and smile shyly at him. I notice Dontae glare at me like I just killed his cat, so I glare right back at him.

"She looks like a normal female to me." that pushed my buttons the wrong way.

"Owe so I'm not the women carrying your child? or your ex mate? or the one you still have a claim on?" I hiss my anger out.

"You haven't claimed your second yet dear brother?" I break eye contact with Dontae and pull the cookie's out of the oven.

"No I've been a little preoccupied and besides you can't say much, have you found your second yet?" I freeze at Dontae's question to his brother.
