Her Brutal Alpha novel Chapter 71

Within a second, I felt Mavericks small head squeeze through my legs as he began glaring at Blaine. He attempted to growl but it sounded more like a weak bark which made me bring my hand up to my mouth while I laughed.

"Maverick, get here." Ava commanded but instead Maverick pushed the rest of his small wolf form through my legs and run over to Blaine who sat there on his hind legs, clearly entertained.

Maverick continued to bark as he approached Blaine. The gesture was warning Blaine away from me which I found adorable and made many of us chuckle.

Peirce and Ava were telling the truth and deep down I always knew from the moment Maverick touched my belly.

Blaine suddenly stood up on all fours, Maverick's little body was tiny compared to Blaine and he jerked forward attempting to frighten him but Maverick didn't flinch and stood his ground.

Blaine looked at me and I knew exactly what he was thinking, he was impressed not that he would ever admit that out loud but even in his wolf form I could see his smirk.

Maverick began running around trying to tempt Blaine into a game of chase but he wasn't having any of it. He just watched on amused at the young pup until he got too close and Blaine purposely pushed his paw on Maverick causing him to fall over on his side causing everyone to chuckle as Maverick growled weakly at him.

We all stood there for a while discussing Maverick and his gift and how it would affect my daughter.

Blaine stayed in his wolf form listening intently to our conversation but continued to watch Maverick, he was interested in what the pup could do.

Not long later both Blaine and Maverick must of felt my gaze, as they both turned around, giving me their full attention. I smiled at my mate, 'I know you hate the thought of it but he is clearly our daughters mate and you can't take him away from her. You can't jeopardise her mate bond, you know you can't.' I said through our mind link.

He didn't reply, instead he looked at me and then drifted his gaze to Maverick.

Blaine was standing still when Maverick came bundling across the clearing towards me. Blaine let out a loud warning growl, telling him to slow down.

Maverick slowed immediately and came to a heavy halt, he looked back to my mate as if asking for permission to approach before he stopped right next to my feet.

He laid his head and his belly on my toes, the warmth of his fur keeping my feet warm through my socks as my feet were getting too swollen to wear trainers. "He looks exhausted." I commented, looking down at him.
