HER ALPHA'S CARNAL SINS
Chapter 251: Jeremy

Chapter 251: Jeremy

"Okayy.. here’s the bottle. I’ve been saving up buy this. One shot of this cost 300 in bars." Ann said as she returned to the dinning room before taking a seat next to John, swishing her hair to the side.

"Ah... Macallan." Jephthah narrowed his eyes as he read it off the bottle before drawing back with a small smile.

"Why were you saving up to buy for it when your weekly pay can buy like a dozen?" Talia asked curiously. She was so calm and composed, acting like nothing happened few minutes ago; you wouldn’t know the agonizing pain and desire she was suppressing.

"I’m not an extravagant spending type, okay? I just like saving to but irrelevant expensive things like this bottle of wine here that cost almost a hundred thousand."

But at least she was better off than John who was experiencing hell as he sat there, swallowing often to wet his parched throat, drinking glass of water like a fish as if he was hoping it would extinguish the firy desire rising up in his body.

He had kept his eyes trained on his food, ensuring he didn’t glance up because Talia was sitting right Infront of him, and he knew if he even made the slightest eyes contact with her, he wouldn’t be able to hold back.

Talia was a gorgeous woman and John knew gorgeous when he saw one. He had seen many women in his entire life time, but Talia was simply out of this world beautiful. She wasn’t as curvaceous as most women, but she was incredibly sexy.

He was attracted to her as a guy would to a beautiful woman, but when he noticed Jephthah and she had something going on, he respectfully backed away.

He would never stoop low to even dream about him and Talia doing anything behind his twin brother’s back.

And now, he’s suddenly found out that she’s his fated mate.

There was only two things John was scared of in life.

1) Getting a woman pregnant.

2) And Jeremy.

Jephtaph’s wolf had to be the most dangerous being to ever exist. Talia didn’t just know who she was mated to. Probably because she usually saw the sweet side of Jephtaph. If she actually saw Jeremy take over him, she would keep her distance when he was angry.

He was a monster, and John was sure he only got over protective when he and Talia became mates.

He had thought back to their conversation Earlier in Dark Risers’s pack and how Jephthah had completely avoided the topic of them having Talia as mates.

He said he didn’t mind if he was also mated to Talia, but John knew his brother. Jephthah will kill him once he learns of this. He wasn’t the type to share, and definitely not Talia.

"Are you sure you should be drinking?" He heard someone ask and he glanced up to see Jephthah and Talia staring intently at each other.

On seeing the genuine love and care in their eyes as they stared at each other, for he first time, he felt an empty feeling in his heart, almost like part of it was ripped out.

He didn’t know why he had this feeling, but since it was his first time, his heart hurt so much and he couldn’t do anything but glance down again.

"A glass would be fine." Talia managed a smile and watched as Jephthah filled a glass for her and one for himself.

"Are you drinking John? You’ve been odly quiet." Jephthah asked with a smile, but it died down when he felt a pang of pain across his heart as he made eye contact with his twin.

John forced a smile and reached for the bottle despite noticing Jephthah had his eyes on him.

"What’s there to talk about?" He asked as he filled a glass for himself before filling a glass for Ann who mumbled a thanks before she resumed eating.

"Seriously? You and Talia would be chatting each other’s head off the dinning table by now."

Ann perked up.

"Really? Come to think of it, you’ve barely said a full sentence Talia... " Ann added, narrowing her eyes at her.

Talia and John suddenly glanced up and when they made eye contact, they both said in unision.

"I have to use the restroom."

There was silence as Jephthah and Ann stared at them both like they were crazy while Talia and John stared at each other in horror.

Wouldn’t their odd behavior give them away?

But before anyone could say anything or react further, Talia went upstairs.

"John, are you okay?"

John managed a smile before retreating.

"Yeah. I’m fine." He then ran upstairs leaving Ann and Jephthah alone.

"I guess more wine for us then." Ann said, already filling another glance for herself with a smile on her face.

Jephthah smiled.

Not for once did he think whatever was happening was something between Talia and John. He didn’t even bother to know why they suddenly wanted to go to the rest room at the same time.

He knew if John wanted to do anything behind his back, it meant he wanted to hurt him.

Which meant John was willing to hurt his brother or in another case, John wanted to die.

Talia splashed some water on her face with shaky hands after taking deep breaths. When she glanced up, she saw her mascara had begun drooping over her eyes.

"F*ck it." She sighed, pulling out a roll of tissue paper and wiping her face with it until her face was spotless; clean from a single speck of make up.

She drew the scrunchie in her hair, and as she raked her fingers through her hair that tussled down her shoulders like a silky curtain, the door suddenly burst open and John stepped in.

Her jaw dropped as she saw the intense look he shot at her as he shut the door behind him.

"No... " She whispered, moving steps back as he approached her, but he quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her in by the waist before slamming her back at the door, cornering her immediately.

Everything he did was within the space of half a second, using his inhuman speed.

Talia groaned as she felt the pain at her back, but she swallowed, eyes wide in horror as she felt John breathing down her neck.

His eyes were blood red, and she turned to the side as she felt his cannines graze over her skin.

"John." She called in a shaky voice, her hands braced behind her on the door as she shut her eyes tightly.

Moon goddess knows how badly she wanted him to mark her, how the urge of wanting him grew by each second the proximity of their closeness shortened, but she still felt this was wrong.

She couldn’t bear his mark when Jephthah’s mark was on her neck already.

It felt too wrong.

"John." Her voice turned firm this time as she turned to lock eyes with him. "Think about Jephthah... " He narrowed his eyes at her like he was seeing her for tht first time.

"Please... " She pleaded, forcing herself to look away yet her eyes were locked in his as she waited for it to clear and turn back to violet.

"I... " his voice was strained and Talia’s heart ached because she could feel his pain and agony, and without thinking she softly landed a hand at the side of his cheek as she waited for him to turn to normal, and in less than seconds he did, his eyes turning violet as he blinked repeatedly.

There was silence as he glanced down without a word, leaning into her touch.

Suddenly he caught her wrist in the air and threw it down; away from his face before stepping back. He didn’t know why he was angry, but he was angry at himself and for what he tried to do.

"Why are you mad now?" Talia pushed herself off the door, walking towards him with a fierce look in her eyes. "I’m not the one who almost tried to mark his brother’s mate "

He growled as he turned to approach her and she held his gaze, stepping back from him with caution.

"You make it seem like I was about to commit an abomination when we both know we feel the mate bond... we feel the pull, and you’re acting like it’s not bothering you when you know it is."

She avoided his eyes.

"I’ll reject you... and end this." He said, his eyes still fixed on her face despite the fact that she avoided his gaze.

However, at his words, she raised her head quickly like she was snapped out of a trance.

"You can?"

He nodded, swallowing hard.

"Well... " her look turned probing. "Do it. Reject me."

John felt that stinging feeling in his heart again on hearing her words. Without hesitation she asked to be rejected.

How stupid of him to think she would be reluctant since she also felt the mate bond pull, but it looked like she really just wanted Jephthah and Jephthah alone and didn’t care what happened to him or how hurt he’ll feel naturally from rejecting his mate.

"Do it." Talia insisted when he hesistated a bit.

"Oh. yeah. sure." He shook his head, pretending like he got lost in thought and the idea of rejecting his mate didn’t bother him in the slightest.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and the two froze on hearing Jephthah’s voice outside.

"Hey Talia, you sure you’re okay? You’ve been in there for quite a long time. I was starting to get worried."

Due to shock, they were unable to say anything. However, Talia almost felt her legs give way on hearing his voice again.

"I’m coming in."
