Screw My Childhood Sweetheart His Alpha Brother Marked Me First novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Vaughn snarled as he released my lips. “We need a lock on that door.*

I couldn’t hold in my giggle as my fingers came to my lips. They tingled with the glow of the contact Varight heard kissed me. For the first time in days, I had real hope. It might be dangerous for my heart to lean into that, best I didn’t care. I was holding on with all I had.

“Stop laughing.“1 grumbled at Anson as we headed down the stairs

He leaned over and pressed a kiss to my temple. “I just wasn’t expecting you and the king of all things dark and broody to be making out when I came in.”

“Shhhh,” I hissed at him.

River chuckled. “It’s not a secret. We want you making out with all of us.”

“Is this really what I have to look forward to, being around you all?” Vaughn asked.

Anson glanced at River. “I guess not even a good make–out sesh cures the broody.”

I smacked him upside the head with my good hand. “Stop it

Voices filtered in from the living area and the flickers of humor fled. I wanted to hold onto it for a little while longer. The guys giving each other a hard time, the buzz of Vaughn’s kisses, all of it. Instead, we walked into a room full of tension.

Mason pushed to his feet as we entered. “How are you feeling. Senna?”

“I think she’s feeling just dandy,” Anson said with a smirk.

I elbowed him in the stomach. “I’m feeling a lot better. I think my shoulder is mostly healed.”

“Let me take a peek.” He crossed to me, pulling back the dressing.

I stared down at the wound. It looked as if it had been healing for two weeks, not less than a day.

Mason let out a low whistle. “It’s impressive. I think I should take the stitches out now.”

I grimaced but nodded.

He patted my good shoulder. “I know it isn’t fun, but we do want those staying in too long and causing problems.

Knox patted the seat next to him on the couch. “We can do it right here.”

Mason lifted his chin in assent, and I moved to Knox, lowering myself to the couch. He surveyed my face. “You sure you’re okay? You were sleeping pretty hard.”

“I think that helped.”

Caspian made a humming noise in the back of his throat. “I wonder if that’s a part of her self–healing. It was after she slept that the cuts on her face went away too.”

“It’s possible,” Mason said as he took a seat on my other side

Coby simply sat quietly in a chair, not saying a word.

River took a seat on the coffee table opposite me, resting a hand on my knee.

“No, River. You’ve done enough for me today.” I could see the hint of dark circles under his eyes from the strain of all the pain he’d taken from me earlier.

“I can do a little more.”

I pulled my knee out of his grasp but held his gaze with my own. “I’ve got this. If I trip over a rock and break my ankle tomorrow, you can help then.”

Anson groaned. “Please don’t even speak of that as a possibility.”

I chuckled. “I’ll try to stay on both feet.”

He moved behind the couch, perching on the back and dropping a kiss to my head. “Thank you.”

Vaughn merely prowled behind us, walking back and forth.

“Would you sit down?” Coby barked. “You’re making my wolf twitchy.”

My eyes narrowed on her. “Don’t speak to him that way. This is our home.”

“This is my pack,” she shot back.

Mason stiffened. “I think you forget your place.”

Coby’s head instantly dipped. “Apologies, Alpha.”

Even as new as I was to pack dynamics, I could tell trouble was brewing. As Knox grew in power with our bond strengthening, Coby was feeling the need to defend her position. She should’ve been doing all she could to help support Knox as the second–in–line, but instead she was fighting against it.

Anson had told me once that dominance battles were rare but did happen. They were typically only to first blood, but occasionally, they got out of hand. My stomach pitched at the thought of her trying to take Knox down.

My hand slipped into his, squeezing hard. He leaned into me his lips ghosting over the shell of my car. “It’ll be

okay.”

I hoped he was right.

Mason pulled his medical gloves into place and set a pair of cissors and tweezers on a towel. “Ready?”

I looked at River opposite me. “Go to town.”

There were the occasional sparks of pain, but mostly the sensation of Mason pulling out the stitches made me sick to my stomach. I didn’t want to think about how torn apart my flesh had been and why.

“Distract me,” I said.

River looked panicked for a moment. “With what?”

“How about with the fact that I found Sen and Vaughn making out when I went up to her room,” Anson chimed in.

“Anson,” I growled.

“What? I think that’s a good distraction.”

“I could rip Anson limb from limb,” Vaughn offered in a casual tone. “That would be a distraction.”
