Chapter Fifty-Eight: Gabe explains about his brother
Tillie
Travis and I followed Gideon’s brother through the woods. My feet and calves ached. He was still naked and I couldn’t help but sneak peeks at him even as I tried not to. It was hard to avoid the pale bare ass in front of me. It was toned and shapely, but it was still a naked man. He looked so much like Gideon, well, what I assumed he looked like naked because I wasn’t going to lie to myself.
I had thought about it since I had met him earlier.
His copper-colored hair was cut short, though, where his brother’s haid was much longer. He had the same kind face, much too handsome, even if he was leaner and a bit taller. I couldn’t tell if he was younger or older than his brother, but I guessed that it didn’t really matter. He was helping us.
It was so surreal to be following him through the woods with Travis knowing that there were wolf shifters out there who were hunting me.
“So, how many mates do you have?” Gideon’s brother asked and I realized that I didn’t know his name.
“Three.” Travis answered for me and I reached over, taking his hand in mine. I knew he was stressed out. Each howl had him growing more and more tense. Every breeze made him move closer to me, his body so tight. Like he was ready to spring into a fight at any moment. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“When your brother claims me, it will be four.” I said as he stopped in front of a log. He climbed gracefully over it and then looked back at Travis and I.
“So I guess that makes you both my in-laws.” His lips twitched into a slight smirk as he watched Travis climb over the log. He held his hand out to help me over and Travis shook his head, pushing his hand down.
“I’ll help my mate over.” He said with a possessive look in his eyes that sent a thrill through me. Travis helped me over the log. I wasn’t nearly as graceful as both men and ended up falling into my mate’s arms. He looked down at me, brushing a lock of hair out of my eyes. His green eyes sparkled despite his stress. “Just where you should always be, sweets.”
“Super cute, but we should get moving. I’ll get you guys to Gideon soon.”
“What’s your name?” I asked if he was going to be one of my in-laws I couldn’t keep mentally calling him Gideon’s brother.
“Gabe.” He said, looking from Travis and I. There was a wistful tone in his voice and I wondered if it was because of the way that Travis was looking at me. He seemed lonely and I couldn’t help but hope that he would find his mate soon. Maybe then he would stop eyeing Travis like he wanted to take a bite out of him. “Gideon is my younger brother.”
I didn’t know how I should feel about his apparent interest in my mate. I didn’t like it, though, and I knew that it was crazy because I was with Travis, Ryan, and Jason and I wanted to be with Gideon too. I shouldn’t be getting jealous over the way that Gabe had been flirting with Travis on our trek to meet up with his brother.
What bothered me, though, was the looks that Travis kept shooting at him. Those looks of interest, his eyes traveling over the other man’s lean form. Taking in every part of his body like he wanted to fuck him. He had mentioned him smelling good, but Gabe had been quick to tell him that he was smelling his brother. His brother, who was an omega… Did that have something to do with all of this? I didn’t know, but I was going to find out.
“You mentioned that Gideon is an omega.” I asked, breaking the silence as we walked. Travis looked over at me, his hand tightening over my own. His eyes flicked down and he bit his lower lip, catching the ring there and giving it a tug.
“It’s a shifter, like us, only different.” He answered. I had already figured that out, but I didn’t understand what made him so special. Why Jamison would be upset about Gideon finding his mate? “They’re, it’s like they’re able to take anything… Sexually. They can handle any need of their mates. I’ve heard stories but I’ve never been with one.”
“They’re very submissive,” Gabe said. “My brother is very submissive. It’s a blessing and a curse. He doesn’t have the ability to say no and ends up being anyone’s meat if I’m not around.”
“There isn’t anything wrong with being submissive. But, umm, anyone’s meat?” I bit out, feeling my cheeks flush with heat. The thought of him being submissive with me was doing crazy things to my insides. I had thought about it when I met him. It was like I had known he would let me do anything that I wanted to do to him. That he would enjoy it and welcome it, beg me for more.
“Never said there was,” Travis smirked. “I think we can all enjoy submitting a little bit. But an omega will submit to any alpha whether they deserve it or not. It’s biological.”
“Okay…” I trailed off, not understanding. Saying no wasn’t that hard and I mean, the alphas I had met so far didn’t seem like bad men. “You and Jason are alphas.”
“Yeah, but not every alpha is like us,” Travis said, letting go of my hand and wrapping an arm around me. “Some of them are cruel and don’t have the best interest of their pack.”
“Jamison doesn’t. Omegas don’t just take a lot. They bring unity to a pack. He brings unity to Branson’s pack, but we know that he won’t be leading forever and his pup is too young to step up.” Gabe stopped walking as a twig snapped. He held up a hand, his body tensing up as his eyes darkened and he scanned the woods around us.
A wolf stepped out of the brush beside us. He was massive and his fur was almost charcoal colored, but his eyes. Those dark gray eyes were ones that I knew. Ones that I didn’t think I would ever be able
to forget. I stepped away from Travis and he let me go, his arm falling to his side.
