Screw My Childhood Sweetheart His Alpha Brother Marked Me First novel Chapter 126

Knox chuckled, kissing my forehead and then releasing me. “I’m well aware.”

“Okay, what’s plan B?”

Knox gestured to Anson. “He’s plan B.”

Anson made an exaggerated show of cracking his knuckles. “If your power is anything like mine, you’ve somehow put an invisible

cork in it to keep it in check.”

I toyed with the strings on my bracelets. My power didn’t feel like that. It felt like entirely different entities at different times. My healing required me to push that golden liquid into someone, but when Chris had touched me, my power had lashed out, seemingly

of its own will,

“What is it?” Knox asked.

‘It feels like two different things. One I have to push, the other works completely on its own.”

Knox and Anson shared a look.

Knox cleared his throat. “I have to push for my freezing ability.” He turned to Anson, a little wrinkle appearing between his brows. Suddenly, Anson wasn’t moving, apart from his eyes. The wrinkle disappeared and Anson was cursing a blue streak.

‘Was that really necessary?” He gave an exaggerated shiver. “You know I hate that feeling.”

Knox grinned. “That’s payback for calling me golden boy.”

‘Hey, I haven’t called you that in weeks.”

I was just biding my time, waiting for the perfect opportunity.”

snapped my fingers. “Can we focus? Or do I need to send one of you to your room?”

Knox looked a little sheepish. “Sorry. I just wanted you to see that it causes me strain to do that. It doesn’t happen on its own.”

My strength does. If I’m not careful, I could mean to high five someone but send them crashing through a wall instead.”

winced. That was exactly what I was afraid of.

(nox tapped his fingers on his thigh. “We need to find the trigger for your offensive gifts.”

It’s anger or fear. Maybe a mixture of both.”

Anson shook his head. “We’re not scaring her or pissing her off in the name of science.”

Knox strode towards me. “I have something else in mind.”

His hand slid under my hair to the back of my neck, his mouth meeting mine in a bruising kiss. I lost myself in the sensation. The world went silent around me as Knox took and took. I didn’t know how much time passed when he suddenly pulled away with a

light nip to my bottom lip.

I blinked a few times, getting my bearings. “I hate to break it to you, that didn’t scare me or piss me off. I just want to do it again.”

Knox laughed, but his eyes held a dark promise. I had a feeling when Knox lost control, it was a sight to behold. “I wanted to see if I

could give you a boost of power.”

“All you did was give me a hard–on,” Anson grumbled.

I bit my lip to keep from laughing and closed my eyes. That golden pool felt brighter somehow, and the stores were definitely greater. “I think it worked.”

Knox looked at Anson. “Kiss her.”

“I’m a fan of his homework assignment.” Anson moved so quickly, I barely had time to register the motion before he was kissing the

breath out of me.

One hand slid along my neck while the other cupped my ass, pulling me flush against his hardness. I moaned into his mouth, taking the kiss deeper. When Anson finally pulled away, I was a little dizzy.

“How’s the power now?” Knox asked.

I did a quick check as I tried to get my breathing under control. “It’s definitely fully charged.”

‘Perfect.” Knox rolled a kickboxing dummy in front of me. “Zap Bob.”

[ arched a brow. “Bob?”

Knox shrugged. “He needed a name.”

I stepped forward and shot my hand into Bob’s chest. Nothing. All that happened was the dummy shook a little.

bit my lip and tried again. This time, I hit harder. The dummy shook more, but I’d expelled no power.

You need to find that mad again,” Anson said.

nodded, closing my eyes. I pictured Cass and I talking in the hall at school. Sadie and her rude comments. Chris. The feel of his hand on me. The words he’d said. I struck out without opening my eyes.

A shock of power erupted from my arm and my eyes flew open. The dummy was a good thirty feet away, embedded in a thick pine

runk.

Holy shit,” Anson said. “That dummy’s designed to withstand shifter strength.”

Not all shifters apparently,” Knox remarked. “Don’t lose your grip on the power.”

could feel the tendrils of it still wrapping around my arm.

Send it into this.” Knox tossed a chest pad for kickboxing onto the ground.

didn’t touch it this time, simply imagined shooting my energy towards it. Golden bolts of light shot from my palm, straight into the ad. As the smoke cleared, a hole was revealed. I’d burned a six–inch wide cavern through the metal reinforced foam. What did that nean I could do to a human being?

River leaned into my side as he passed the bowl of bread sticks to Caspian. “You okay?”

I nodded, picking a piece of pepperoni off my pizza and popping it into my mouth. “Just a long day.” One of the longest in memory, and that was saying something, given all I’d been through these past few months.
