"Thanks Brody," I said as I got out of his car, waving at him. We managed to get some more sleep for about an hour before he sent me home. He let me shower in his bathroom and lend me some long sleeved button up shirt that stopped right above my knees.
"See you again," Brody replied smiling before his car took off. He already explained to me on what I should be telling Eddie if he were to ask about my 'sleepover'.
Preparing myself for Eddie, I slowly made my way into the pack house and was greeted by Celina who happened to be around the corner.
"Hey Beatrix, how was the sleepover?" She asked, excited.
"Erm, fun?" I answered awkwardly.
"Cool. Ah by the way, your brother is waiting for you in his meeting room. I think he's on his male PMS so don't mind him being angry or whatever," Celina informed and I gulped down an amount of saliva.
"Alright," I replied and waved at Celina. I took my time walking to Eddie's office and knocked very softly, hoping that he wouldn't hear me. But he did and he answered, telling me to enter.
"Hey brother," I greeted casually and took a seat opposite him, pulling a pencil from his stationery stand and played with it while my brother just glared at me. "What's up?"
"Since when are you so close to Brody?" Eddie questioned, not even greeting me like I did to him.
"Since.... forever?"
"Be serious, Beatrix."
"Alright, sorry," I apologized, "I got close to him on the first night that he came over. Then we just clicked like that. And now we're like best friend forever."
"Seriously Beatrix? Best friend forever?" Eddie said and shook his head and I rolled my eyes. What was wrong with saying 'best friend forever'? Then Eddie asked another thing which made my heart jumped a few kilometres away from myself, literally. "Why didn't you tell us that you have found your mate?"
Did he know? How? Did Calvin came over last night and have a talk with him about us?
"I have not found him," I said.
"You sure?"
"I have a few friends, of a good fighter and all but the only person I have in mind would Alpha Brody," Eddie delivered the news and my eyes widened.
"Brody? He's my good friend."
"But do you like him?"
"Of course I do but..."
"There you go. You can talk to him and discus about this matter. But one thing I'd like you to know is that I am not asking for you to be mated to Alpha Brody because he owns the tittle Alpha. It's because I've seen how he was so caring and protective of you and I have no one else that could fit the position of taking care of my sister. I love you so much, Bea," Eddie said and he got up, hugging me.
"I love you too, Eddie," I said and hugged him tighter. Eddie was only worried of my safety.
"Alright, before you see me cry or anything like that, you can leave now," Eddie said quickly in a more manly voice, causing me to laugh. I kissed him on the cheek before leaving his meeting room.
I was planning to go up to my room. The mate issue that Eddie was telling me could wait for a moment. I was sure that Brody would say something to Eddie and I wouldn't be force to be mated to him. Yes, I did say about being mated to someone else but I didn't want it to be Brody. Our relationship or rather friendship was too good to be destroyed for something like this.
