My Two Alphas novel Chapter 22

　　Ace’s POV

　　I felt gutted knowing everything she said was true. I don’t know why I doubted her, maybe it was my own guilt or I was just too blinded by my anger after what Melana told me, that I didn’t see sense but now I felt like a piece of shit for not believing her, when she had never given me reason to question her before. Lucy usually owned up to her wrongs and now I was going to have to do the same.

　　Lucy stormed off to Tyson’s room and I didn’t blame her, she hated me. I hated me for what I did but I never expected her to have the bond removed and now I had to face her rejecting me all over again. Leaning on the verandah wall I toss my smoke. Ryker comes out with Reika and he opens the car door for her. A growl escapes him when he spots me leaning on the wall. I watch as he shuts her door before walking over to me. I know what is coming, could see it a mile away as he stalked up the steps toward me. I face him head on and don’t even flinch when he raises his fist.

　　My head whips to the side as his fist connects with my face. My blood trickled down my chin where he split my lip open. “ You knew she was your mate and fooled around on her, then to make it worse you forcefully mark her” Ryker growls at me raising his fist and smacking me again.

　　I spit blood on the ground knowing I deserved it but it still angered me, he wasn't no fucking saint either.

　　“If she rejects you again you will not mark her” He snaps at me.

　　“Ace?” He screams in my face grabbing the front of my shirt.

　　“I won’t okay, she rejects me again I will leave” I tell him. He growls but nods his head before shoving me away. Tyson comes out looking at me from the door, he presses his lips in a line but says nothing. I know he was angry at me, he has always been the most selfless one out of us, he waited for her, and would have continued to wait until she figured it out. I ruined things for him and now it has put a strain on our relationship.

　　Ryker nods to Tyson clapping his hand on his shoulder before heading to his car. I watched them leave before turning to Tyson who was blocking the doorway.

　　“I’m not going to do anything” I tell him. I just wanted to speak to her. He steps out of the way and I walk inside about to head toward his room when calls out.

　　“Leave her be” He says and I stop, a growl escaping me before I shove it down.

　　“You must be loving this? Loving that she hates me because you can keep her to yourself” I snap at him.

　　“I didn’t hurt her, you did. I may not like having to share her brother but I would never do anything that would hurt her, if she keeps you I wouldn’t try to stop her. I accepted the fact we had to share her, understood it but I won’t sit back and watch you destroy her more than she already is”

　　“And if she rejects me again, you understand she can now”

　　“She doesn’t want to reject you Ace, but you forcing her will make her. Stop being selfish for once in your goddamn life and let her decide instead of taking her choice from her”

　　“So you expect me to sit back and watch you two cosying up together” I growl at him.

　　“Yes I do, don’t make things worse Ace, you didn’t just put your bond with her at risk, you put mine at risk too. This was never a normal mate bond considering she was raised alongside us making it already difficult enough then you screwing around with Melana. What did you expect to happen? Then to top it off you mark her and choose Melana over her, you messed this up, not me and I won't be punished for your misdoings” He says before walking off down the hallway toward his room. I watch him close his door. Jealousy coursing through me before I stalk off toward mine slamming the door. I really made a mess of things.

　　“Just Mark her” Atticus tells me and I growl at him.

　　“Shut up, you have been no help at all” I tell him, shoving him back.

　　Lucy POV

　　Everyone left while I hid in the room.

Tyson came in and I could hear him arguing with Ace but he says nothing of it when he steps back inside the room. “Do you want to watch a movie?” He asks, laying on the bed beside me.

　　I shake my head, I didn’t feel like doing anything I just wanted to get away from everyone, away from the drama. Yet being here that would never happen and going home wasn’t an option either for me. Not yet at least. Sitting up, I wanted to leave and see Mitchel but didn’t know how Tyson would take that.

　　“What’s wrong?” Tyson asks.

　　“I wanted to go see Mitchel” I tell him, needing my friend, my only friend. Tyson growls but says nothing instead gets up and walks over to his closet and grabs a jumper out and pulls it on.

　　“Where are you going?” I ask him, suddenly worried.

　　“I will drop you off” He says, tossing me a jumper.

　　“Are you letting me go?” I ask a little shocked.

　　“Yes, I am not happy about it but I trust you Lucy, just let me drop you off and pick you up” He says and I nod pulling his jumper over my head. I mindlinked Mitchel who said he was about to catch the bus home from school but instead Tyson told me to tell him we would pick him up. Pulling up out the front of the school Mitchel was standing there and he looked nervous as he approached Tyson’s car.

　　Tyson had a tight grip on the steering wheel and I opened my door and climbed out and Mitchel gave me a hug. “So why is the Alpha of Black Moon picking me up?” Mitchel asks.

　　I open the back door for him before climbing back in the passenger seat.

　　“Alpha” Mitchel says out of respect even though technically Tyson wasn’t his Alpha, my stepfather was. Tyson nods to him but starts driving.

　　“So what are we doing?” Mitchel asks.

　　“I am dropping Lucy off to your place, I will come get her later” Tyson says.

　　“Okay, am I missing something, did I do something wrong?” Mitchel asks nervously.

　　“No, of course not. Tyson is just a little weirded out with me hanging out with you” I tell him looking over the back of my seat.

　　“And why is that Lucy?” Tyson says and I know he was wanting me to tell Mitchel he is my mate. I sigh it was going to come out anyway.

　　Mitchel was watching him trying to figure it out. “Tyson and Ace are my mates” I tell Mitchel who opens and closes his mouth a few times before he lets out a breath.
