Selah’s POV

He is quick.

I almost didn’t see that coming. His fist flew and I leaned back to avoid the attack. I never underestimate Silas. It’s not just because he comes from a bloodline of Alphas. No, that’s beside the point. The point is, he knows me too well and I know him just as much or possibly more. We can never be enemies even if we try.

That’s always our weakness when we are up against each other,

I counter the attack with an uppercut. “Fuck!” He can stagger back in time and quickly wrap his fingers around my forearm. I kick my knee into his torso, he winces in pain but maintains a tight hold on my arm.

If I don’t get my arm loosened from his grip I’ll lose blood flow from him tightly holding onto it. He yanks me closer forcing our eyes to meet and I see him grin as I lose control of my feet. Refusing to go down alone I use my free hand, place it on his bare shoulders and forcibly pull him down with me.

Got cocky too quickly, he should know better than that. We landed on the mat and I quickly turned and climbed on top of him. “YIELD”, I said while placing my hand around his neck and using my free hand to twist his right arm.

“YIELD!”

He didn’t say anything. Instead, he somehow found a way to flip me over using his lower body and now he is on top of me and my back on the mat. His bare chest towering over me, golden key necklace dangly down, and jet black hair cascading down on his face while he looks down at me with his forest green eyes. Breathing heavily he pins down both of my arms over my head.

“YIELD!” He said, with a hoarse voice.

I smirk and wrap my legs around his hips, pulling my lower body up closer to his and forcing his upper body closer to mine. Our faces are now inches apart, and both breathing heavily. Exhausted from the workout but too stubborn to yield. Silas tightens his hold on my arms that are still over my head and I tighten my hold around his hips.

“Making out?” We both turn to our sides and see Chogan crouched down eating an apple with a mischievous grin.

“I mean go for it! Releasing the extra testosterone and estrogen sounds like a good idea. Considering…. I mean even better after a steamy workout.” He continues with a wink “Well, there are two different types of workouts but the way it looks like here, it just …..”

“Yield Selah, So I can shut this annoying asshole.”

“No! YOU!”

I quickly let my legs loose around his hips and wrapped them around his neck squeezing my thighs.

“GODS Selah!” Silas screams out in frustration, “Fine I YIELD!”

Hearing those words I began to relax my thighs. Only to find his hands spreading them, my lower body giving up on me as I collapse on top of him.

Silas quickly lifts me without warning and my legs automatically find their way around his hips. It suddenly occurred to me where we are. “Shit”, we are at the packs training centre and Chogan isn’t the only person around. He brought the pack warriors here.

Silas and I have reached the age where we are supposed to be mated by now. Yet neither one of us seems to be and there have been rumours about us. Their alpha’s and beta’s friendship seems more than just that in their eyes. It’s been a never-ending gist and Chogan joined in just for kicks of it, but everyone else is taking it more than just a joke. As long as he’s mateless and I’m mateless, everyone is going to talk.

I roll my eyes at their stares and whisper, as I unwrap my legs and slowly place my feet on the ground. Silas kicks the back of my feet and I fall back down on the mat.

I am already out of breath and too exhausted to fight back. He muffles a laugh and lingers on top of me for a moment as he stares deeply into my eyes. There was something different about the way he looked at me. Before I had any time to decipher it, he looked away and quickly stood up.

“Ugh! What was that for? That doesn’t count!”

He shrugs and says, “Shouldn’t have let your guard down.”

“That’s cheating.. Chogan, did you see that!”

Chogan was training one of the warriors, he looked in our direction and said, “Don’t bring me in your love quarrels.”

I slap my palm on my face. Why did I even ask?

“Selah.”

This is new. His Alpha voice came out when pronouncing my name. I don’t think I ever recall his wolf calling out my name in such a manner. His tone was more warm, and soft, much softer than usual.

It didn’t feel like a serious matter, the atmosphere felt more playful but why the sudden switch?

“Yes?” I said nervously.

“Promise me you won’t go near the waters.”

“Uh?” Idiot, are you seriously letting your wolf talk to me about going to the waters? The FUCKING OCEAN?

“The ocean?”

“Promise.”

This wasn’t a suggestion or something that he was waiting for me to approve, it was more of a command. I know that tone too well, and not to go against it.

“Promise,” I said with my hand up pretending to wave the white flag.

He didn’t say anything else and began to walk out of the training centre. I got up and Chogan came rushing to me. “What was that all about? Did you guys fight?”

“That was weird to you too?” I asked.

“Yeah! I could sense the entire room tense up a bit waiting to see what he would do. It’s weird because his wolf doesn’t just come out like, especially towards you. What did you do?”

I shrugged, “I don’t know he just asked me not to go to the waters.”

“Waters?”

So it’s not just me that's confused by this. I didn’t want to talk about it any further, there were eyes already on us and more than likely ears perking up trying to hear everything.

_____________

With papers to do and meetings to attend, the constant moving had drained me. I got out of my car and rushed to get inside my house. I’ve been thinking about taking this bath for the entire day and now the moment has finally arrived.

The door was already open which meant one thing, my dad was in my house probably fixing something. As per usual. What’s the whole point of getting your place if your parents are constantly visiting like it’s theirs?

I could swear ever since he retired he’s been coming over more often and always having an excuse to fix something in my house. As if the house isn’t already new to begin with.

“Gods!” The downfall of being single and the only child out of the three who hasn’t been mated to anyone. My older sisters Lucía and Laetitia are all mated with children.

“Daaad! The sink was working perfectly fine this morning.”

“Hey there little bear!” He kissed my forehead and gave me his big hug. “I know, I know, just double checking that everything is alright. Mama cooked your favourite food.”

I open the fridge, “Yeah let me guess you ate half of it, uh?”

My dad is a brawny teddy bear. I say this because physically his height and physique can overwhelm people, especially humans. He doesn’t have to say much to get what he wants. His physique just scares the living shit out of people.

Inside is a whole entirely different person. A whole teddy bear, hence why he calls me his little teddy bear and I call him Baba Bear. Chessy right? He also eats and hibernates like one too.

He howls out laughing, his rich and contagious laugh makes it impossible not to join in. After some time his laughter slowly faints and he coughs before speaking… “So..”

I bite my bottom lip and look down at my plate as I continue to eat.

Here we go again.

“Your mom and I have been thinking.”

It’s always about my dating life. I can tell it’s about my dating life because my dad always gets uncomfortable talking about it. I swear he is the only one in the family who is alright with me being single.

“Maybe… Maybe you should move back in with us.”

Whew! Close call on that one!

He chuckles, “You thought I was going to ask you about your dating life again, Uh? You know your mom is always the one pressuring me to ask.”

I look up from my plate, he sounds nervous. Why is he nervous?

“Dad..-”

He cuts me off and exhales loudly before asking, “Are you and Silas dating? I gotta ask bear because it’s driving me crazy now.”

I burst out laughing, “They got to you. Come on Dad, you were supposed to be my armour. Firm. Strong. What happened to that?” I said sarcastically.

“Listen, it’s alright if you do. It’s just you two are Alpha and Beta and-”

The front door opens and Silas walks into the house. I rolled my eyes and thought “Such good timing.”

“Hey, Mr. Psalms, how are you”

A clueless Alpha walking into a hidden trap. I mindlink Silas “RUN!”

“Uh?”

“RUN, RUN!”

“Silas.” My dad has a stern look on while flooding his arms together.

Silas stops walking and starts to take a step backwards. Getting the message a little bit too late.

“I…uh… I… uh.. You know Chogan just mindlink. Something came up, Selah when you’re done… Just uh… um.. Call.”

A whole grown man and he’s still terrible at lying. My dad could see right through him. I wouldn’t blame him in a time like this. I glance at my dad’s bulk figure. The way he positioned himself is like the hulk himself with a deep chestnut skin tone, rich like the earth’s soil. His molton brown eyes glared at Silas from head to toe, the same look he gave my in-laws when Lucia and Laetitia introduced them to him.

He did not care that he was looking at his Alpha like that. No. He meant business, and he wanted explanations with answers which weren't needed because there was nothing between us.

“Dad it’s Silas. You can relax.”

“Why does he have your pin code to the house?”

I took a deep breath out and responded “If anything happens and you can’t get here in time. The next best choice is Silas.”

That was a lie. Of course, I’ll beat the living shit out of anyone who tries but anything to just get my Dad to back off. Which worked. His eyebrows relaxed, his jaw unclenched, and he brought the blazing smile that everyone adores.

My dad walked to Silas and slapped him on the back hard.

Ouch!

“Silas my boy!” He said gleefully.

Silas didn’t flinch but I knew he was cursing at me inside his head. I shrugged and quietly worded “sorry” when my dad wasn’t looking.

My dad picked up his toolbox and gave me one last hug with a kiss on the forehead.

“Call me before you go to sleep, bear.”

He looks at Silas one last time, “Don’t try anything stupid.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it.”

“Good answer.” My dad said with a stern tone.

I couldn’t help but have a smug grin on my face, I knew he was gonna do something crazy the moment my dad left, so I just waited.

Silently listening.

Till my dad was at a distance drive I instantly bolted upstairs but I wasn’t quick enough. He grabs my waist from behind and picks me up. My legs kicked out in the air trying to break free.

“You were enjoying that just a little bit too much don’t you think?”

Bursting out in laughter, “Let me down!” He purposely starts swinging me around in circles, knowing how easily I get dizzy.

“Ahhhh, Silas! Silas, please stop I think I’m going to puke.”

Suddenly he gently puts me down, which he never does till he is satisfied that I've suffered enough. My feet touch the marble floor, still feeling dizzy I hold onto his forearm for balance. I glance up at him and then to the front door and see my mom and Lucía’s shocked face.

Crap!

I notice how their eyes were flickering up to our faces and Silas’ hand which is still on my lower back. I slowly grabbed his hand and pushed it down, that’s when his eyes went back to me.

Once again this is the second time he had a strange expression on. It wasn’t an ’awkward we got caught’ type of expression. Before I could read any further into it, he quickly looked elsewhere.

Coming back to his senses.

He clears his throat, “Hi Mrs. Psalms, Lucía!”

Just like that, he snaps back.

“What are you guys doing here?” Annoyed that they didn’t tell me they were coming in today.

“Oh did we interrupt? You guys can continue-.. Ouch!” My mom elbowed Lucia’s side rib before she could finish her smart-ass comment.

“Silas honey, could you help me with groceries here?” My mom asked.

Silas gladly takes the grocery bags and rushes to the kitchen. I tried to help him but he just shoved me aside. Leaving me all alone with my mom and Lucía. A dreadful combo to be around when it comes to not minding their business.

Laetitia is the eldest and she tends to ask a few questions and go on with whatever she is doing, the same goes with my dad.

They sat there on the sofa obediently staring at Silas organizing the groceries. What they were observing was the fact that he had been here multiple times. Not once has he asked where to put things.

He knows where I put everything. With that, they knew that he had been here multiple times.

I look at my mom and her eyes glisten as she smiles with sincerity.

“Thank you for the groceries Mama, is there anything else?” I wanted them to leave, it was getting too awkward for me to stand here knowing that everything was being misunderstood.

Silas comes from behind and wraps his arms around my waist.

Speaking of....

My eyes opened wider, off-guard at what he had just done. When I looked at him I could swear his wolf had surfaced for a second before going back to his original eye colour. He didn’t say anything, instead, he gave me a gentle smile with a wink and let go. Leaving me to process what had just happened.

“Mrs.Pslams, Lucìa. I wish I could stay longer but I got other business to attend.”

“Oh! Oh did we disrupt something, Luía and I could go.”

I could tell her mind was already racing and itching to ask me a thousand questions. If it was anyone else she would've just asked the question right on the spot. The only difference with Silas is that he is her alpha. She’s doing a hell of a good job showing her respect and shutting down that urge.

Silas chuckles before answering, “No, nothing here.”

They said their respectful goodbyes and just lay on my black sofa bracing myself for what was to come. He knew what he was doing, that bastard!

“So do we gotta ask or are you going to finally tell us the truth?” Luía asks impatiently.

“You and Silas?” Mama sat down on the sofa, astounded by the realization.

“An alpha and beta together? Mama, has that ever happened before?”

Here we go.. They’ve already started.

“Hmmmm.. I don’t think so..” “Selah.”

“Yes, Mama.”

“When did this begin?”

“Mama there’s nothing between us. Silas and I are just friends.”

“Right, just friends,” Luía says with a wink.

“Selah, my dear Selah. The way his wolf surfaced, that’s not a man that sees you as a friend honey. Plus have you been feeling anything, any pull, your senses getting deeper when you are around him? Noticing a change about him.. Like him being more possessive especially his wolf?”

“MAMA, PLEASE!”

They both started to giggle. “Ok, Selah we will leave.”
