the reason Brick can’t commit. Surely, it’s unhealthy for my Brick to linger around this twink for too long.
That’s right. My Brick. I’m not going to let this thong model get in the way of my happy ending. He doesn’t care about Brick like I do and I swear, I’m not going to be intimidated by him. I know I don’t possess the same goods as he does, but I do have Brick’s attention.
“You’re fucking lucky I don’t rip your fucking head off,” Brick growls.
Unconsciously, or maybe Brick’s not even aware of it, he tugs at the metaphysical pack bonds connecting him to the rest of the Puppyville Pack. A couple of the men and women make uncomfortable movements or noises. Some are too surprised to react, because no one can really remember when Brick last lost his cool.
“Don’t be like that, baby,” Lorenzo murmurs, not taking the hint.
This is too much. I step between the two of them. Lorenzo’s gaze immediately latches on my figure. His eyes narrow, reminding me of a snake about to strike. I know Lorenzo is appraising me, looking at me from top to bottom. Lorenzo doesn’t look impressed, but like I give a fuck about what he thinks. Okay, maybe I do, but I’m not about to lose my resolve now.
“Brick is alpha of the Puppyville Pack the Grizzly Falls wolf pack is allied with. Show him the proper respect he deserves.”
“Oh, poor little pup. Do you have any idea who I am?”
I scoff. “An exile and someone who caused the pack trouble before. The only reason you’re still standing here unharmed is because of your guest status.”
“Who the hell do you think you are, loser?” Lorenzo spats. His expression turns ugly and loathsome, and the unexplainable dislike there distorts his usually handsome face.
He continues, “Back off. You’re way out of your league, runt. Has no one ever taught you playing with matches will get you burned?”
“Don’t flatter yourself, Lorenzo. You’re not that big of a threat,” I retort. “Rules work the same way. You’ve already offended our alpha by not showing proper respect.”
I’m not quite sure where this bravado is coming from, because I’m not a violent person by nature. Heck, I wince during our monthly full moon pack run through the woods and some of the wolves chase down a deer or hare. When it comes to Brick though, my wolf’s ready to shed blood. My spiritual wolf hovers at the surface of my skin, ready to bite back. The beast knows it’s his right, because Brick’s our mate, and this outsider is threatening our territory.
I’m aware toying with this kind of asshole is dangerous. As a representative of our allies, offending Lorenzo equaled offending our neighbors, and judging by Lorenzo’s smug smile, he knows it too,
To my shock, a couple of the pack enforcers beside Brick rumble in approval. I’m starting to think I’m on a roll, except Brick walks up to me and clasps my shoulder. “Bobby, it’s fine. Calm down.”
I don’t like where this is going. Lorenzo gives me a lazy smile that’s saying ‘you see?’.
“Brick, you should bring your runt in line. Better yet, why bother allowing an ill-mannered, ugly bas—.” Lorenzo chokes, unable to continue because Brick’s figure blurs and his hands are suddenly wrapped around Lorenzo’s neck. Brick slams Lorenzo against the wall, growling.
“If I ever hear you insult my mate again, I will tear out your throat. Got that?” Brick doesn’t let go. Rover and the pack gamma, Henry, try to pry Brick’s fingers off Lorenzo, but Brick’s grip is like steel. “I can’t hear you.”
“Yes,” Lorenzo manages. Brick lets him go, and Lorenzo makes a show of looking all abused and injured.
“Your mate?” Lorenzo finally spits out. “This weak omega? I’m going to tell my alpha Luka how the Puppyville Pack treats its guests.”
“My love life is none of your concern, Loren. Bobby’s right. You disrespected me. Go on tell Luka that. Luka and I go way back, do you think
