Other people's happiness

Kaine's Pov

I froze mid-step, my keen senses picking up on the unmistakable sounds of kissing coming from around the corner. A familiar scent hit my nostrils before I saw them. Edward and... Mellie? My little sister?

I glanced at Aria beside me, her green eyes wide with surprise. She'd clearly heard it too. We exchanged a look, unsure whether to proceed or retreat. But it was too late. Edward and Mellie had already noticed our presence.

"Kaine!" Mellie exclaimed, her face flushing bright red as she hastily smoothed down her rumpled shirt. "I... we..."

Edward stood tall, meeting my gaze steadily despite the hint of nervousness in his blue eyes. "Alpha," he said respectfully, inclining his head.

I raised an eyebrow, struggling to keep the amusement from my face. "Well, well. What do we have here?"

Mellie stepped forward, chin raised defiantly. "Kaine, please don't say anything about this. My love life is private."
