Caged Between the beta & alpha

It was the following day and I had decided to bite the bullet and go see Channing again.

Shit.

I wasn’t ready for this, but I had to do it.

Taking Mama’s flapjack and shepherd’s pie with me was not enough… but this was the time I needed to do this.

Anna was going to be out and I needed to do this when she wasn’t around.
Goddess’ and God’s above, lend me your strength of courage and bravery because I need as much as I can get.
Reaching Channing’s home, I did the doorbell, before opening the door and entering.
“Channing?!”
“Tay! In here!” His voice came.
I quickly went to the kitchen, placing the food on the worktop and entered the living room.
It was warm and cosy, decorated in browns and navy.

Channing was on the sofa, remote in hand and holding a bottle of J20 orange.
“Grab yourself a drink and come join me, I was going to watch the replay of last night’s boxing match.”
“Right!” I said.

Going to the kitchen and opening the fridge, I took a bottle for myself and returned to the living room.
I looked at Channing.

That smile that he always had on his face was still there, his scruffy stubble and his hair that reached his shoulders.
My hero.
“What is it? I know something’s on your mind.” He said, his eyes crinkling as he smiled at me.
I gave him a small smile, looking down.
“The kids out?” I asked, trying to stall a little.
“Yes, they are making the most of being out during the day, thanks to this curfew.

I’m not complaining.

I’d be happy if they came home on time every night.

Would at least make me feel better and at ease.”
“Remember how we used to sneak out after Mom and Dad went to bed?” I chuckled.
“Oh, don’t remind me about the shit we got up to.” He grinned.

I remembered how we used to always sneak out and go for a swim, or a run, or just spend some time alone even leaving pack grounds.

Unlike me, Channing was able to talk to everyone.

I like to be alone and am more of a n introvert.

I hate socialising, being super awkward and shy in large groups, so he never used to invite anyone extra on our brother time.

Just the way I liked it.
“Fun times, huh?” I said quietly.
“Yeah, one hundred percent fun times!” He said, glancing at the screen as he took a swig of

nodded, looking at his tattoos that climbed up one arm as I took a deep breath. “I found my mate…but he didn’t seem to want to accept me.” I began quietly. Channing’s eyes flashed, and he growled. “Tell me his name, and I’ll show him what happens when someone messes with my brother!” I smiled slightly, maybe he’d want to kill Zack after I told him the rest too..
