CHAPTER 26: LOCKED IN

ALPHA BRIMSTONE'S POV

I had always been okay with Zac and Monica flirting with each other or liking each other behind my back and when I found out that it seemed like they were into each other, I wasn't bothered at all and I was completely okay with it. Whenever Zac fought or questioned me because of Monica and I knew it was because of his feelings toward her, I still never felt bad because I thought it was alright, she wasn't someone I had feelings for anyway so I was okay with whatever happened between them in as much it did not affect me and I was quite sure it wouldn't in any way.

But seeing the way they were flirting right in front of me rubbed me the wrong way and I felt my anger grew. Maybe it was the possessive side of me but whatever it was, it annoyed me to the core and I felt bad about it. Why would they do that in front of me? It was so annoying that I felt like sending Monica out of my place but I had to be calm and that was why I would only lock her in this room for days. "You won't be able to step out of your room, your meals will be delivered to you by your maids and if you need anything, you know how to get them," I said to her but the look on her face was that of confusion. She was pretending not to understand what was going on or maybe she was trying to act innocent when I already knew what was on her mind concerning my brother. She stood up and looked into my eyes "What have I done? I only came to you to discuss something with you but..." She stopped and looked at her hand which I had grabbed her earlier which had turned red and sighed "I don't know why you did this instead of listening to me. We were all talking casually and I thought everything was alright... why this?" She questioned and I couldn't help but sneer.

I knew she was only 19 but in this day and age, 13-year-old kids are getting married to Alphas all over the world and they've been taught rich social etiquette from the day they were born as a lady, so why would she act as if she was the dumbest person I've ever met? "Are you telling me that you did not notice anything wrong in what you did earlier?" I asked and she frowned. "What was that? I can't remember doing anything that wasn't right there, and if I did, ain't you supposed to just tell me instead of dragging me here and threatening to lock me in?" She questioned, infusing more fuel to the flame of my anger which was about to fully explode.

I looked at her for a while and sucked in a deep breath to control my anger, she was weak, very weak that I was worried that any small punishment might cost her life and again, it would be bad if the wife I married less than a month die like that~ My head was hot and I was angry ~ "Remind me of your position in this pack again." I said to her and she crossed her arms. "I'm the Luna. The mother of this pack." She said and I smirked "Mother, huh? Have you ever sat down and thought about what to do to earn the respect of the pack before or do you think your disgraceful attitude will help you win them over?" I questioned and her eyes darkened.

"What... what are you saying? Are you telling me that I'm disgraceful? Am I disgraceful because of my family background or because I'm a weak omega? What part of my life is so disgraceful that you have to be so harsh to me like this? What part of my life disgusts you so much? Can't you at least show a little care or will it kill?! Why are you so harsh all the time?!" She yelled at me and I grabbed her wrist. I looked into her eyes which were already filled with unshed tears with seething anger and grunted "If you don't stop this now, I will make sure you regret it." I said to her before pushing her to the bed.

I walked toward the door and turned to face her "You don't know why you are disgraceful, do you? Well... You sure won't know because you never think about anything in your life. Think deeply about the situation and let me know when you realize what you did wrong, apart from that, you are staying here, in this room alone forever." I added to her and teleported away from her room. I appeared in my room where Zac was waiting for me but I was in no mood to talk to her so I just put off my shirt, leaving my trousers as I walked toward the bathroom "Brim, can we talk?" Zac's bitter voice entered my ears and I frowned "Don't call me that name again." I replied coldly and opened the bathroom door "But that's how I called you when we were younger." He replied and I turned to face him "Yeah, That was when we were younger. That was when we were faithful to each other and that was when I still found you trustworthy but not now anymore. You act more like my nemesis now and I think I should be very careful of you." I replied to him but he only sighed and walked over to me. He placed his hand on my shoulder and turned me to face him properly "You see, I'm your big brother and there's no way I'd fancy what's yours. I would never desire your woman and you know this is true. I was only being nice to Monica because I wanted her to feel at home here~" He explained convincingly.
