Alpha Brutus ✔

27 - FINAL CHAPTER

Ember Harper's POV:

Many days have passed and the only thing that has been on my mind since was marking. I knew that he needed to mark me in order to officially make me his, and I also knew that I was ready. I was absolutely ready to completely fall fully into his arms and be with him. My whole being would belong to him, the exact same thing was going to be present in his life.

"Good evening, mi bella." He mumbled with a smile as he entered the house, pressing a kiss onto my temple. He looked exhausted, the meetings that he has been attending were tiring him out completely since he had to work for more than ten hours a day.

"How was your day?" I questioned once he sat down next to me, unbuttoning his white shirt that seemed to suffocate his body. Taking a look at the body that now became even more toned from the amount of exercising he has been doing, I could feel myself flushing red once our eyes met.

He smirked, a small chuckle escaping him once he pulled me closer to himself.
"It was horrible, but I frankly hope that you will make it better." He whispered, looking down at my body once I came to straddle him.

This has been happened more frequently, us getting into a heated situation that would often end with nothing more than caressing and making out. I knew he wanted more, and I sure wanted to. I wanted to feel his body warmth radiating onto my own, I wanted him to trail his fingers along my body and make me feel things that I've never felt before.

Oh dear God, I could not even press my lips to his without secretly thinking of his lips kissing certain places on my body.

Trying to gather my thoughts into neat and collected ones, I closed my eyes for a moment and when I reopened them I saw as Brutus stated at me worriedly. His eyes' color softened as his lower lip pouted out slightly, him leaning in to kiss my forehead thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" He questioned, most likely supposing that I was not comfortable with him and his touches. It was quite the opposite, my body aching to feel all of him.

I felt like I could not contain myself anymore and would explode any second, that is why I climbed off his lap and took his hand in mine before pulling him up from the couch.
"Let's take a walk, Brutus. I need fresh air." I said lowly and saw him nod before both of us exited the house that seemed to shorten my breath.

The outside was far more enjoyable, the sun shone brightly even though the strong wind lessened it's effect on my pale skin. The weeds slightly swayed, bringing many scents to my nose. Feeling as Brutus's hand squeezed mine tighter, I looked up. He had a suspicious look on his face as he looked down at me with an on obviously forced smile.

"What is it, Brutus?" I questioned, seeing that something bothered him to the furthermost limits.

"Ember, if you're not ready for anything, I'll retrieve all of my actions." He stressed, his gaze ripping away from my eyes painfully and averting over at the graveled ground.
I lifted his head up with my fingers delicately, a small smile appearing on my lips.

"No, I want you... Trust me, I want you so much." I admitted lowly, rising up his fallen confidence as I watched him smile at me boyishly and innocently. I admitted that I wanted him badly and I did not feel a tad of shyness because of it, I was speaking pure truth.

"But I have so many things on my mind." Adding, I lunged myself in his embrace. He kissed the top of my head before resting his chin on it, his comforting warm arms wrapping around me protectively. Feeling as his heart slammed against his chest in an incredibly rapid pace, I smiled and parted myself from him. We began walking around the big backyard, flowers and their scents surrounding us in a breeze.

This was happiness, I was one hundred percent sure. I felt free, not overwhelmed for the first time in a while, I knew that I now could further my love life with Brutus Lycian.

I wanted him to mark me. That decision lingered in my mind for a long time before we stooped suddenly, that making me realize that we were in front of the large house again. A black car was parked in front of it now, someone unfamiliar had arrived to this property, making Brutus let out a growl.

"Brutus I need to tell you something." I breathed out, not wanting to lose my one chance that I had to telling him. There would be many more chances, yes. But I felt a strong need burning on my insides, my mouth was about to spill out the pleading when suddenly he spoke again.

"Ember, stay behind me." He growled loudly as he entered the house, his posture confident and his steps echoing in the hallways.

"What is happening?" I asked, my mind completely lot in the sudden alert state of his. I knew that someone arrived at the house, but could it be an intruder?

But then again, who would dare to intrude Brutus's home?

Brutus suddenly stooped in his tracks, making me unexpectedly hit his back as I was disoriented and unfocused. Taking one step aside, I noticed someone.

A male. His tall figure was standing in the middle of the living room, his green eyes shooting daggers at me. Shock ran through my body with a slight pang of fear that I had for my own wellbeing, since he looked like he came to slaughter me.

His face was a spitting image of Brutus, it was just that his hair was chestnut brown and slightly wavy. He looked younger than him, which could only mean one thing.

Brutus had a younger brother that he never told me about.
All three of us were silent, tense state lingering in the room as the male still stared at me with wide eyes.

I was confused and was about to ask him what he was doing here and who exactly he was, but he spoke instead. His voice was deep and rough, deeper than Brutus's.
The voice made goosebumps to explode on my skin, but the word that spat out of his mouth made my head spin instantly.

"Mine!"
