The Millennium Wolves novel Chapter 2

Sienna

“Tell me again why this has to happen?” my dad questioned, not even trying to hide the concern in his voice.

“We’ve been over this, Peter.” My mom sighed. “The Alpha can’t be Sienna’s mate if we keep her locked up here. She needs room to breathe.”

“We don’t know he’s my mate,” I corrected her.

My mother’s choice of words was painfully ironic considering I’d be far more stifled and confined at Aiden’s house than here.

My father pulled me into a bear hug. “I know you have to figure out if he’s your mate or not, but it doesn’t mean I’m not going to be worried sick about my baby girl. I wish you’d stay.”

The more I’d thought about it, the more I knew that this was something I had to do whether I wanted to or not. I’d never know if Aiden and I had a real chance at a relationship if I didn’t at least give this a shot, though I had my doubts about his intentions. the door.

Outside, Josh was waiting for me. He had an almost suspicious grin on his face. He picked up both of my suitcases and put them in the trunk while I sat in the passenger seat.

Josh hopped in the car and revved up the engine like a frat boy about to go for a joyride. Although I very much doubted this would be an enjoyable ride.

We drove in an awkward silence for a while before Josh finally turned his head to look at me.

“It’s nice to officially meet you, Sienna Mercer,” he said with that odd grin. “I’m Josh Daniels, the Beta of the East Coast Pack.’

“Yes, I know,” I said, still trying to read him. “It must feel good to be chosen for that position

“It must feel good to be in your position too,” Josh said with an accusatory tone. “So while we’re here, why don’t you tell me how you

did it?”

“Excuse me? I knew there was something off about that phony smile.

“Don’t be modest.” His voice was soaked As of sarcasm now. “You need to tell me your technique. How did you trick the Alpha into marking you?”

I wasn’t going to sit here and take this bullshit. “Trick him? I didn’t even have a choice in any of this. What gives you the right to question my motives?”

“I’m the Beta. It’s kind of my job, and if you’re taking advantage of him when he’s in a vulnerable state, I’ll be the first to know about

it.”

“If you’re so curious about me, then why don’t you just ask your best friend why he marked me?” I shot back.

“Well, I would, but Aiden is refusing to answer any of my questions about you.” His scowl deepened. “He’s been so secretive about why he marked you. Everybody’s mystified.”

He glanced at me. “I volunteered to pick you up in hopes that you would clue me in on this little relationship you two have started.’

“If Aiden didn’t tell you anything, then why the hell would I? Maybe you’re just trying to get information to use against him.”

Josh massaged his temple in frustration. “ really should have just let Jocelyn handle this. She’s used to dealing with delusional people.”

“That makes sense considering her dating record,” I retorted.

Josh narrowed his eyes at me. “I’m going to be blunt with you. I don’t think you’re either strong enough or mature enough to handle a dominance as powerful as his, and it doesn’t matter that you think you’re some badass she-wolf or whatever.’

“You’re underestimating me,” I said, challenging him.

“Time will tell. Now get out of my car,” Josh said smugly.

During our argument, I had failed to realize that we had already made it to Aiden’s house.

I got out of Josh’s car, slamming his door behind me. I grabbed my suitcases and made my way across the bridge to my holiday Haze from hell.

One thing was for sure though. I wouldn’t let Josh or anyone else underestimate me.

When Aiden opened the door, my eyes were immediately drawn to his shirtless, glistening chest. His muscles bulged with every minor movement.

My Haze started to spark up.

Fuck, is this really happening already?

He tried to grab me and pull me in, but I managed to duck underneath his massive frame and enter into the house. He thought he was clever, but he wasn’t going to get me that easily

“You can bring my luggage to the guest room,” I said coyly as I walked through the foyer, making sure I was several steps ahead of him. “Are you going to give me the tour, or do I have to do everything myself?”

“Oh, you’ve been doing it yourself for far too long. It’s time you let someone else help you,” he said, grinning with that annoying, sexy smile.
