Tamed by Alpha's Forbidden love

Chapter-2 Hot Stepbrother

Avyanna Erryn ROOSEVELT'S POV

"Hello? To earth, Miss Avy. Did you go to your fantasy land again? I asked what time you were leaving. I asked my dad, and he said it’s okay if I go and drop you at your new pack," Ashton said, and I sighed.

"Ashton, we have been through this talk already. You don't have to go through so much hassle. I have traveled around earlier too and -"

"I know you can handle yourself pretty well since that's what you've been doing your whole life. I have heard those repeated lines many times. But I want to do it, okay? Please? I know it might sound a bit cheesy, but I want to spend these last moments with you. I don't even know why you agreed to leave. My dad and mom were ready to keep you at our home. If your new dad hasn't called him and asked for your transfer, I swear my mother wouldn't have -"

"Hey, it's alright. Your dad is an alpha. He has a duty to do. He can't do anything about it. Honestly, earlier, I thought he was the one who suggested to my mother that I should live with them. I didn't know my new dad was so eager to get me. Maybe I can have a little chance at family love?" I said, his sad eyes making me sigh.

I seriously hate when people that I care about get sad because of something related to me.

"You do know I am not taking you with me if you look at me like this, right?" I asked before rolling my eyes, and he chuckled awkwardly before holding my hand and pulling me in for a hug. 

Holding me tightly, he kissed my temple before pulling away and looking me in the eyes.

"I swear if I was of age, then I would've declared you as my mate already. Why the hell did my parents not have me a year earlier?!" He groaned while looking in the sky, and I could only chuckle at his words before patting his chest.

"It's okay, Ash. Maybe that's what fate wanted. Fate wanted us to meet like this, and depart in the witness of the blossoming smiling flowers that look at us and become -" I started dramatically.

"Stop, okay? I got it. You don't need to go all nerdy on me," he said before laughing, making me laugh in return as I hooked my arms around his neck and pulled his cheeks adoringly. 

"Honestly, I don't even know if I will be able to get a friend like you there. If I knew Brian was a jerk like this, I would've rather gone for you than him," I said with a dry chuckle.

Of course, that was just a lie to console him so that he doesn't get teary, making me turn polite, a thing that I wasn't used to anymore.

"Don't! Don't you dare make a friend like me, okay? And don't you dare think about that scumbag who didn't deserve you from the very beginning. Besides, we are friends forever. You promised me that, remember? And as a friend who has your best interest in mind, I forbid you to get too cozy and familiar with that pack and its people. You are coming here with me after a year," Ashton said, and I smiled before shaking my head.

"Yeah, I remember. Also, do you think I will be able to live peacefully when my mom is in the same house? However, I would still suggest you start looking for a girlfriend now that I will be gone. Maybe you will get a good girl here who is compatible to be your mate and the love of your life. I mean, look at me. Who am I? A bastard child -" I started with dry humor.

"Let's go. We will get late if we don't leave now," Ashton said, cutting me off in between, with a hint of anger, making me sigh. It has become his habit to dodge this conversation no matter how much I try to make him understand that he is the future alpha, and no one will approve of my friendship with him.

Sitting inside the car, I smiled at him, looking at the pack one last time, sad that I honestly had no one by my side to come and tell me they'll miss me.

"Is Maddie not coming?" I asked Ashton, and he smiled helplessly, making me nod my head.

I understand. Her parents never approved of her friendship with me. 

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes before mentally saying goodbye to the old pack. 

Enceladus Pack. I hope you are ready to welcome the disaster that is coming to you. I thought as my sad smile turned to a wicked one, as I leaned my head on Ashton's shoulder, ready to sleep for the 6 hours ride.

After 6 hours~~

"What are you thinking about? Is it something along the lines of how you'll miss a handsome guy with the name Ashton?" Ashton asked, and I chuckled at him.

"Seriously? I am thinking about you? Do you think my standards are so low?" I asked, and Ashton nudged me playfully before looking at me with wide eyes feigning hurt, making me roll my eyes in return.

"You wounded my pride. Only a kiss on my cheeks can fix this now," He said, and I chuckled as he joked around to improve my mood.

“Kiss my ass. All you’ll get is a kick in the butt,” I said, and he chuckled before shaking his head.

"However, you are right. Maybe I will miss the guy with the name Ashton, but it's not like I can do something about it. Maybe I'll just punch a few guys around and make new friends again. So don't worry about me and go without any remorse," I said, and he chuckled at my words, remembering the time when I had punched him, and the next thing he did was ask me to become his friend.

The memory that was supposed to be a humiliation for him was one of his best memories according to him.

After some time, he squinted his brows before looking at the guard, whose approval we were waiting for so that we could enter the pack.

Once the guard gave us the green signal, Ashton asked the guard for directions before driving in.

To say I was impressed with the way the pack was played out would be an understatement. 

It was fabulous. The amount of greenery was especially refreshing after living in the packs that look like human civilization.

It was strangely calming my nerves as I had always felt a connection with nature. 

Like I belong with it. Maybe it was because of the special powers that I have? Whatever it was, now that I look at the greenery around here, I don't think it will be too hard to survive here.

"Why the hell are there so many forests here?" Ashton said aloud before grunting as we got down from the car, making me chuckle. I am sure he is jealous because he knows how much I love forests and everything.

"You must be Avyanna. The alpha will be here shortly," A guy suddenly said, almost making me jump because of the sudden intrusion, making Ashton tighten his hold on my waist.

"Relax, no one is going to hurt you," Ashton whispered in my ears, and I had the urge to roll my eyes at him. However, I resorted to taking a deep breath before nodding my head.

It looks like he thinks I was scared because this guy sneaked upon me. 

Taking a calming breath to keep my emotions in check, I mustered up the most innocent yet confident look before looking at him.

"And you are?" I asked, smiling politely, taking in the appearance of the new guy.

‘Innocent my ass. If they came to know who you are, they’ll be tucking their tails between their legs,’ My so-called wolf said, and I bit my lips helplessly at her comment. 

"I am Alex, the beta of this pack," He said before extending his hand that I shook firmly.

"Nice to meet you, future alpha," Alex said to Ashton, who looked at him warily before nodding and shaking his head.

Seeing his edgy stance, I placed my hand on his chest before patting him.

"Hey, don’t be like this. I am fine. I was just taken by surprise. Don't worry. If you want, then you can leave. It is getting late anyway. You don't need to stay and -" 

"I will leave once the alpha is here. It is not right manners to enter another pack and return without meeting the alpha when he is present in the pack," Ashton explained, and I nodded my head before turning around as I distanced myself from him just in time when I saw a man coming towards us.

And heavens forbid me, but to say I was amazed would be an understatement.

‘Wow, what a Greek god! The kind of handsomeness I will approve of you,’ My wolf said, making me look at her in annoyance.

‘He is supposed to be my brother, stupid. Get your hormones together,’ I reprimanded her, and she pouted her lips before huffing loudly.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if I reprimand my wolf. What she said wasn’t exactly wrong. Now I know why the guy was called one of the most handsome men. His jet black hair with light brown eyes that looked like having a depth and mystery of the ocean caught my eyes.

He looked at me so mysteriously and deeply, that for a moment I felt scared. Not because of his powerful aura, but because I was scared he would peel my defenses and know who I was.

"Alpha," Alex nodded to him. However, he didn't look at him. His eyes were fixated on me as he did a once over of me, making me raise my brows.

"Ashton," The alpha nodded at him, and Ashton nodded back before kissing my forehead one last time.

"I am just a call away if you feel uncomfortable here, okay?" Ashton said, making me nod my head as he sat in his car and drove away, leaving me in this unknown territory by myself now.

Huh, here starts my new life with a new identity and new pretentious methods to conceal how defective I and my wolf are.

'Hey! You can't call me defective. Just because I haven't taken over you completely, you can't call me that. It makes me feel weird,' My wolf said, and I rolled my eyes at her before scoffing.

'Yeah sure. I'll call you whatever I want. If you want to fight with me, then come out,' I said, and she puffed her cheeks like every time before sitting like an angry panda, making me chuckle before I coughed a bit as I remembered I wasn't alone.
