He had never thought a day would come when he would hit his brother for a woman, but here it is. He was so pissed that he couldn’t think that both Colton and he were almost a carbon copy of his father.
Calvin was about to attack Brandon when he turned at the last second and grabbed Calvin’s fist.
“Hello, son!!”
“Dadddddd,” Calvin’s jaw dropped.

A moment before!!
Ethlyn was having a good time with Brandon while talking with him, knowing him personally about his likes and dislikes, his birthday, and other minor things.
She realized that, unlike Calvin, his father was not talkative. He was a man of few words.
“This is the first time I’m speaking so much,” Brandon confessed.
“I felt that because you want me to keep speaking, and your facial expression changed on its own when you realized that it’s your time to speak.” Ethlyn smiled.
“Am I boring a little?” Brandon asked to which Ethlyn shook her head. “Come on, don’t lie to me,” Brandon said, to which Ethlyn started nodding her head.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to..”
“It’s fine, Ethlyn. There is Nothing wrong in showing a mirror to the person about how he or she is.” Brandon said, cutting her in between. “I was worst than this before Sophia’s entry into my life,” he added with a smile.
“Really?”
“Yes!! I wonder how did she fall in love with me? And somehow, if she fell in love with me, then how is she still in love with a boring person?” Brandon chuckled.
“Maybe because she saw something in you that nobody couldn’t. And I feel you complement each other like she is talkative and you’re a good listener. She is an extrovert, and you’re an introvert.” Ethlyn said before adding, “Since I’m not very talkative. I want someone who can speak.”
“Someone like Calvin, isn’t it?” Brandon questioned.
“What? Nooo. He is annoying.” Ethlyn said quickly, but he watched Brandon arching his eyebrow.
“You want to talk about it?” Brandon offered, “Because one thing I’m good at is in listening.”
“No, no, I’m not a baby who will complain about his pup to his father.”
“You sure?”
“Mm.. hmm. Nothing to talk about him. It’s just that Alpha Calvin is Alpha Calvin. Never show up at the right time. You know. Yes, of course, you know, after all, he is your son.” Ethlyn spoke. Brandon nodded his head, watching clearly that Ethlyn was hurt and mad but was trying her best to cover it up.
“Yeah. I know. Go ahead. Pour whatever is in your heart.”
“No!! No!! I’m fine. As I said that… I don’t want to rant like a baby.” Ethlyn muttered and took a sip of red wine in front of her. “I know being an Alpha; there can be a lot of things on his plate. First, he wanted to know everything that happened to me in the past, and when I came here, I ended up creating a war between the hunter and the pack. And maybe many more other things. I want to ask for whom he is doing this, directly or indirectly. For me, right? Then why couldn’t he spare a few hours for me?” She questioned Brandon on which he listened to her calmly.
“I don’t know why he ends up ruining his every first impression in front of me. When I saw him first, I thought he was a characterless and shameless man with no brain, which was not totally true, and now this. If he was busy, then he shouldn’t have asked me at the first moment. And when something urgent came up at the last moment, then he could have told me but NOPE…” Ethlyn shook her head.
“He vanished with no explanation, Nothing. How much time would it have taken? Two minutes to five minutes? But nope, THE GREAT ALPHA IS VERY BUSY. He didn’t even drop a single message or call about the same.”
“I felt like stupid when I was all ready, and he didn’t show up,” Ethlyn shouted at Brandon in frustration. She drank another sip of wine before adding, “It tastes weird. I mean, in a good way, weird.”
“I know.”
“If you think that I’m hurt, then you’re wrong because I’m all good. And I understand he is busy because he has a lot of work, unlike me, who is useless.” Ethlyn spoke again. Brandon wanted to clear her that she wasn’t useless, but she beat him. “What do you think? Where is he busy at this hour? It’s Saturday today, so his office will obviously be closed in the human world. Then what is he doing out there in the human world?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“If you want, then I can call him and ask about it.”
“No. It’s fine. In fact, I’m wondering why I even care. This sounds so stupid.”
“This is your feelings, Ethlyn, and trusts me with it, and feelings are not stupid.”
“But any feelings for Alpha Calvin are stupid. He is out there, not even thinking about me while I’m talking about him non-stop. We are just the parents of Roselet. Nothing else. So, I shouldn’t be talking about someone who is Nothing but just a father of my pup.”
“Okay, I agree. He always had my back from the moment I landed here. And he does that because I’m the mother of his pup, Nothing romantic.”
“So, what are you upset about that he doesn’t have any romantic feelings for you?” Brandon questioned.
