"Tamara, meet Jonas... your uncle Alfonzo's oldest son, and Jonas meet my lovely daughter Tamara,"
"Tamara, nice meeting you..."
My world literally stopped when Jonas shook my hand and looked at me so intensely as if he wanted to devour all of me.
"Ah...Nice meeting you," I stammer, the reason for him to smirk before letting go of my hand.
"Well, kids...since you already know each other, I hope the two of you get along because we are going to be a family,"
I looked at my mother and nodded with a bit of a smile.
"I can guarantee to you, aunt Lolita, that I will be good with Tamara," Jonas stated while smirking.
Glad, my mother nodded. But I feel every word of Jonas has a different meaning.
"Then let me help with your belongings before I go to my training," Jonas remarks and walks in the back of the car.
"Tamara, help Jonas, and I'll just call Alfonzo,"
My mother had already turned her back while dialing her phone. So I was forced to follow Jonas to help him carry our luggage.
"So, your here because your mate rejected you?" Jonas asked.
I blush at Jonas' question because I'm not expecting my mother to tell them why we need to move out of our pack.
"Hmm, are you sure that guy is your mate?" Jonas utters and sits on the trunk of the car.
I widen my eyes with disbelief and tell, "What do you think of me? Of course, I'm sure David is my mate! I mean ex-mate," I answered. Although I said it certainly, I still ensured that my mother would not hear what we were talking about.
Jonas smiled, and to my surprise, he quickly grabbed me by the waist.
"Then, what is this attraction I am feeling with you now? I'm sure you can sense it too," Jonas utters and bring his face closer to mine.
"Wh-what are you doing? Please let me go," I say, stuttering and removing his hand from my waist.
"My other form is nagging since I saw you. So forgive me, but I need to make sure of one thing. Or else my wolf will give me a hard time," Jonas murmured and tightened his grip to my waist.
"What do you mean? You need to be sure on what?" I asked, confused. I turned to look at my mother to ensure she didn't see what Jonas was doing.
"This..." Jonas whispered.
I clung to Jonas' clothes while my eyes enlarged in disbelief. I'm still in denial, but I can clearly feel Jonas' tongue entering my mouth.
Is he kissing me? Dear Lord! Jonas Hale, my soon-to-be brother, is now kissing me! Tamara, Push him, for pity's sake!
That's what my brain says, but my body doesn't follow because instead of pushing Jonas, I let my tongue play with him, and it feels good.
His kiss awakened something that I didn't know I had- lust!
"Tamara, Alfonzo is on his way here,"
My mother's voice became the indication for Jonas to release my lip.
"Hmm, Tamara Morningstar, you should reconsider entering the Hale house as my sister," Jonas remarks as he wipes my lips.
"You-" I can't find words to answer that statement of Jonas because I can't deny my desire for him.
Jonas smiled at me and carried two large pieces of luggage.
"Aunt Lolita, let's wait for my fathers inside the house," Jonas said to my mother, and they walked together.
"Tamara, hurry up!"
I was out of breath because of the new problem brought on by my new 'brother,' even my feeling towards him; I could not determine.
"No! I'm sure David Halter is my mate! That scent is my proof! I'm not that stupid to make a mistake! "I whispered as I walked into the house carrying two large boxes.
"Tamara, what do you think of the house? You like it?" My mother asked.
The home of the Hale family has no touch of a woman. The color of the walls has faded as the furnishings indicate that man owns the house.
"Mom, they don't have girls in this house, so it's only right that the interior looks like this," I commented, laughing.
"Hmm, your right. Maybe Alfonzo and his son will not get mad if I make some little changes in here,"
I did not answer, seeing Jonas walking down the stairs. I sigh in secret; how can Jacob's present stop my world? He was still wearing rugged jeans and a white shirt that fitted his body.
"Aunt Lolita, if you want to rest first, your room is ready. The main bedroom is on the left side of the house at the end. And for you, Tamara, your room is on the other side," Jonas explained as he approached me and took the box I was holding.
"It's okay, it's mine, so I'll take it to my room," I immediately retrieved the box from Jonas' hand.
"Forget it, Jonas. My daughter hated when someone touched her stuff. And Tamara is used to doing heavy work since she is the strongest in her pack,"
I glared at my mother to stop the chatter.
I still wanted to hide my strength in the Phantom pack-for in case my heart beats again, my new love will not be insecure.
"Tamara, don't be shy; I'm sure Jonas already knows since I told Alfonzo everything," My mother reasoned seeing my reaction.
"Anyway, I'm tired from the long drive, so I'll rest first. Jonas, please show Tamara her room," my mother remarks as she walks to the stare as if she has lived here for a long time.
"Don't worry, if you want to join my pack, you won't have a problem since all my members are strong," Jonas commented while grinning.
He also took the box from me and walked away.
"Huh, I'm not sure about that," I whisper while following him. I didn't want to say that I was more powerful than my former Alpha, so I no longer voiced my thoughts.
