Alpha Nathan’s POV

The door to my room pushed open, and immediately, the intoxicating scent of Benita hit my senses. But what I saw hit me harder.

Benita stood there, her eyes swollen and red, tears streaming down her face. She looked utterly broken.

“Benita, what’s wrong?” I asked, my voice filled with concern as I moved toward her. The moment I reached her, she collapsed into my arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

My arms instinctively wrapped around her trembling body as my wolf howled in anguish. Someone had caused her pain—pain that was already tearing me apart. Her sobs were muffled against my chest, but they shook her entire frame. My wolf was pacing in my mind, demanding answers, demanding vengeance for the pain someone had caused her. I was surprised at what could have happened to make Benita break down this way.

I held her tightly, brushing her hair gently, trying to calm her down enough for her to speak.

“Benita,” I said softly, tilting her chin up so I could see her t

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Dangerous game

    Benita’s POV I woke up to the gentle rays of sunlight streaming through the curtains, warming my skin. My body felt heavy yet comforted, cocooned in the soft blankets. For a moment, I forgot everything—the pain, the tears, the world outside this room. Then I noticed the steady rise and fall of the chest I was nestled against, the warm, firm body beside me. My heart skipped as I tilted my head slightly, only to find Nathan sleeping soundly next to me. My breath hitched. He was shirtless, the sharp lines of his chest and abdomen illuminated by the sunlight. His tanned skin glowed, the faint scars scattered across his torso only adding to his rugged appeal. His chiseled jaw was relaxed in sleep, his dark lashes resting softly against his cheeks. And he looked so… peaceful. So lovable, even. Different from the Alpha I knew—a man who had tormented me, broken me in ways I couldn’t put into words. I should hate him. I do hate him. But damn it, why does he have to look like thi

    Benita’s POV Light conversation filled the air as we sat around the breakfast table. Theo was telling his grandparents one of his numerous stories, and Lila, who was seated beside him, looked thrilled as she listened. Meanwhile, Nathan and I were in our own world. We hadn’t been able to look away from each other, constantly stealing glances. Every time I caught his gaze, Nathan’s lips would curve into that maddening smirk, the same one he’d flashed this morning in his room. I’d roll my eyes and force myself to focus on Theo’s story, but it was no use. My thoughts kept drifting to Nathan, and my wolf wasn’t helping, purring incessantly in my mind. “My lady, you have a call,” one of the servants interrupted, stepping into the dining room. I furrowed my brow. Who could possibly want to speak to me? I exchanged glances with Nathan and could tell he didn’t seem happy. “Who is it?” I asked. “Alpha Xavier,” the maid responded, and without giving it a second thought, I left my seat and ma

    Benita’s POV After a two-hour drive, I arrived at Xavier’s pack house. Nathan had reluctantly allowed me to go, but not without sending a group of warriors to escort me. According to him, it was for my security, even though I insisted it wasn’t necessary. He had refused, saying it was the only way he would let me leave. The car door opened, and I stepped out to see Xavier waiting for me. His eyes lit up with a warm smile as they met mine. I returned the gesture and walked over to him. As I reached his side, he took both of my hands and pressed a soft kiss on them. “Welcome, and thank you for accepting my invitation,” he said in a tone filled with warmth. I smiled and nodded in response. Xavier’s gaze shifted behind me, noticing the entourage Nathan had sent. A mix of amusement and surprise flashed across his face as he counted the warriors—there were more than ten. He chuckled softly and shook his head. “Nathan practically sent an army to escort you to my pack. How protectiv

    Benita’s POV For a moment, Xavier and I didn’t say a word; rather, my question hung heavily in the air. I swallowed hard and stared down at the picture in my hand, focusing on the woman in the photograph—a woman who was undoubtedly my biological mother, a woman who fought to keep me safe, to keep me alive. Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I didn’t try to wipe them away. Slowly, I lifted my gaze and met Xavier’s shocked expression. He was still finding it difficult to believe that I could be his sister, although the look on his face told me he had already suspected there was a possibility. “Why do you think so? What makes you believe we are siblings?” Alpha Xavier asked, his voice cracking with unease. I drew in a shaky breath, struggling to gather my swirling thoughts. The emotions threatening to consume me made it difficult to speak, but I knew I had to try. “A few weeks ago,” I began, my voice trembling, “I found out the people who raised me weren’t my real parents. They told m

    Benita’s POV “Have a sip,” Xavier said, handing me a glass of water. I smiled weakly, accepting the glass. After taking a sip, he took it back and placed it on the table before settling into the couch across from me. Our eyes met, and he smiled warmly. “I can’t believe it’s you. My little sister—it's really you,” he said, his voice brimming with happiness and pride. “Mother would be so proud of you. Look at what you’ve become. A renowned healer.” His soft chuckle was accompanied by a tear sliding down his cheek, one of joy rather than sorrow. My eyes blurred with tears as well. I now knew my family. I had an elder brother—Alpha Xavier. I was no longer the spare daughter of Sir Felix; rather, I was from a family of Alphas. I had a Lycan bloodline. It was so unreal, and I was still trying to wrap my head around it. “If Father were here, he would be so happy,” Xavier said, his expression suddenly clouding with pain. My curiosity was piqued, and I asked hesitantly, “He’s gone too?

    Alpha Nathan's POV "What do you think, Mother? Do you think Benita will love these?” I asked, gesturing to the mountain of gifts spread across the table. My mother, Luna Anita, stood beside me, her discerning eyes scanning the collection of designer clothes, shoes, bags, and sparkling jewelry. I had bought it all for Benita, yet unease churned in my chest. What if these aren’t her kind of things? What if she doesn’t like them? Frustration clawed at me as I realized how little I truly knew about her—the woman I claimed to love. Her favorite food, her hobbies, her choice of books or movies… I knew none of it. My mother, Luna Anita, gave me a soft smile, the kind that held a mixture of warmth and pity. “Nathan, it’s not about the things,” she said gently, lifting one of the jewelry boxes and examining the glittering necklace inside. “Benita… she’s not the kind of woman who will be won over by material gifts.” I frowned, running a hand through my hair. “Then what will make her happ

    Benita's POV “Uncle Kent is here,” Xavier announced as he stepped into the room. I managed a small, uneasy smile, which Xavier didn’t miss. “Don’t be scared, okay? I’ll go get him,” he said softly before leaving the study. Where I was seated in the study, my hands fidgeted nervously on my lap. My heart pounded in my chest as the reality of meeting Uncle Kent sank in. A Lycan King—my godfather, no less—was about to walk through that door. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. Xavier’s reassurance echoed in my mind: You’re family. He’ll know. The sound of footsteps pulled me from my thoughts. The door opened, and Xavier stepped in, followed closely by a tall, imposing man with sharp features that looked like my late mom’s and an air of authority. His piercing eyes locked onto mine, freezing me in place. It felt as though he was looking right through me, peeling back every layer of my soul. For a moment, the room fell silent as he studied me. Then, he shook his head in disb

    Benita's POV We found Nathan and the kids waiting for us in the living room. The moment I stepped inside, Theo ran to me, his little arms outstretched, and I scooped him into a tight hug. “Mother,” he said, his voice filled with excitement. I kissed his forehead gently, my heart swelling at the love in his eyes. As I glanced up, my gaze landed on Lila. She stood quietly beside Alpha Nathan, hesitant, as though unsure if she should come to me. I smiled warmly and stretched out my free arm. “Come here, Lila.” Her face lit up with a radiant smile, and she darted toward me, wrapping her arms around my waist. As I held her close, I couldn’t ignore the familiar sense of connection that always surfaced when I touched her. It was like a thread of something unspoken tying us together. That familiar aura of familiarity I usually felt, but I shook it off. “Benita, these are your kids? You never told me you had twins, like your mother and I,” Lycan Kent said as he moved over to where I

    Lagertha’s POV A big smile spread across my face as I looked through the window, staring at the familiar trees of the pack. It was great to be back home — to be with Theo — who sat beside me, gently stroking my hair. For strange reasons, I could feel he was tense. I couldn’t explain why, but I felt it deep in my bones. Slowly, I lifted my head from his shoulder and looked up at him. Our eyes met, and he smiled. It wasn’t fake, but it wasn’t completely relaxed either. It felt like a smile laced with nerves. “Are you okay?” I asked, worry threading my voice. Theo nodded quickly. “Of course,” he said, placing an assuring kiss on my forehead — but it did nothing to ease the knot in my stomach. Something was definitely up with him. “Are you worried the pack won’t accept me?” I asked, my voice soft. Theo scoffed lightly. “What nonsense. Of course they will. They have no choice, Laggy… You are my mate, and I love you so much. My family loves you too—” Before he could finish his

    Lila’s POV Oscar’s home is just a few drives away from the pack house. When we reached his home, his men stationed at each corner of his home greeted us, but we barely responded; all that was in our mind was getting to Oscar’s room. It seemed we were so eager for it. Oscar led me up the stairs and to his room. Reaching his room, we stepped in, and I took in the surroundings. Oscar's room was exactly what I had imagined—clean, simple, but with a distinct masculine charm. A faint scent of cedarwood and something uniquely him lingered in the air, making my pulse quicken. His bed was neatly made, navy sheets stretched tight across the mattress, and a soft glow from the lamp on his nightstand bathed the room in a warm hue. I stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do or say. Oscar shut the door behind us, the soft click echoing in the stillness. I turned to look at him, and he was already watching me—his gaze intense, searching, as if he were trying to figure out what I was th

    Lila’s POV I checked my wristwatch and realized Oscar’s flight had arrived. Any moment now, he’d be walking out of that terminal, and just the thought made my heart race. It had only been two days since he left, but it felt like an eternity. I missed him so much it ached. I craved him—his arms around me, his lips on mine. I wanted to feel him again. God, I was horny. My wolf scoffed in me, clearly annoying me even more. Where I stood beside the car, leaning on it with my back, I stood beside the car, leaning against it with my back, trying to stay calm as I waited. Passengers began pouring out of the terminal with their luggage, and my eyes scanned the crowd, searching for him. But suddenly an intoxicating smell hit my nose. My nostrils flared. That scent. It wasn’t just intoxicating—it was maddening, wild, and warm, curling into my lungs like it belonged there. My wolf froze, then jolted forward in my mind with a snarl that shook me to my core. Mate.

    Oscar’s POV “When are you arriving… I’ll come pick you up myself,” Lila said through the mind link, and I chuckled. “Already missing me?” I teased. “Of course I am… you’ve been gone for two days. And good news—Theo and Lagertha are coming back tonight. Theo has a surprise for Lila, and Mother is helping him prepare it. I want you here before they arrive,” Lila muttered, and I smiled. I was happy with how things turned out between Lagertha and Theo. After my fight with Grey, Ma’am Benita told us the truth—that Theo and Lagertha wouldn’t be going through any surgery because Lagertha could see. They hid it from us. She explained why she did, and I understood. “So what time am I expecting to pick you up at the airport?” Lila pressed on. A smile spread across my face. “I’m on my way to the airport… so in the next four hours, I’ll be arriving in California,” I said. “Good… I will be waiting for you. Have a nice trip back, darling. I love you.” My heart fluttered. “I love you,

    Theo’s POV Her “yes” hung in the air, soft and shaky, but powerful. It sealed something between us that didn’t need words. I couldn’t speak—my throat felt tight, my chest full. Everything I felt for her, everything I had been trying to hide, came pouring out all at once. I held her face in my hands and kissed her again—this time slower, deeper. I wanted to feel every second of it. She let out a soft gasp when our lips touched again. Her hands grabbed my shoulders, pulling me even closer. Her body pressed into mine like she couldn’t stand even a little space between us. She was so warm, so soft, so real. Everything about her—her smell, her voice, the feel of her skin—wrapped around me like magic I never wanted to end. I carefully lifted her from the water. Her legs wrapped around me, and her head rested on my shoulder. She was shaking, not because she was scared, but because she was waiting for what was coming. I held her tight, kissing her forehead, her temple, the side of her ear

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Pool

    Theo’s POV Lagertha was asleep, and I was watching her. She lay curled beneath the thick blanket, her chest rising and falling in the quiet rhythm of peace—something she hadn’t had much of lately. Something we hadn’t had. The black strands of her hair spilled across the pillow like silk, her lips slightly parted, her eyelashes fanned across her cheeks. She looked so precious. So fragile. And yet, she was the strongest person I knew. I sat in the armchair across from the bed, a blanket draped over my shoulders, but I wasn’t cold. I wasn’t tired either. I just… couldn’t stop looking at her. My heart was still too full. Too shaken. I should be angry. I was angry, in a way. But it was drowned out by everything else. The grief, the relief, the crushing ache of knowing how close I came to losing her—not just to her blindness, but to a decision I hadn’t seen coming. She had planned to leave. And I hadn’t known. If I hadn’t offered my eye… if I hadn’t said those words… she wo

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Reject Her

    Oscar's POV We left the living room and stepped into the combat grounds, where a few warriors were still training. “Everyone step back,” I commanded, and they all stopped their training, stepping back but all looking confused. I stared at Grey, who was already taking off his clothes, ready for the fight. I looked at Lila, who stood a few steps away from me. She looked terrified, worried, and in pain. Her eyes were clouded in tears. It was obvious she was so scared of me, and I understood why. Grey was a good warrior. He had gone to war and had won, and I? I hadn’t been to a war. Our pack’s strength, numbers, and especially Theo’s unmatched power had always kept war away from our doorstep. No one dared challenge us. No one even considered it. “Why are you hesitating? Having second thoughts?” Grey mocked, noticing I hadn’t started undressing while he was already down to his briefs. I ignored his taunt and reached for the buttons on my shirt, but Lila stepped forward, gently takin

    Lila’s POV “So tell me, Oscar, are you willing to die for Lila?” Alpha Grey asked, his voice dripping with confidence, as if he had already won. I scowled at his arrogance. “Yes,” Oscar replied without hesitation. “Only that I won’t be the one dying.” I glanced at him with wild eyes as I frantically shook my head. “Hell no… you are not fighting,” I disagreed. Alpha Grey chuckled softly. “What’s wrong, Lila? Are you afraid I’ll kill him?” His tone was mocking, his smirk infuriating. I shot him a glare full of hatred before turning back to Oscar, who wore a deep frown. “Don’t do it… we will find other ways,” I pleaded. But Oscar shook his head. “There is no other way. This is the only way.” “No, it isn’t!” I snapped at him. “I won’t let you do it, Oscar… I won’t,” I said in a shaky voice while fear filled my entire being. It’s not that I don’t trust Oscar’s skills and abilities, it’s just that I have heard stories of this Alpha Grey. He has fought two battles and has come out v

    Lagertha’s POV “I have been able to see for a very long time.” I drop the bombshell, my heart pounding rapidly. For a moment, Theo stood speechless, his confused but stunned eyes on me. He was looking at me as if waiting for me to laugh and say I was joking, but I didn’t. Rather, my eyes remained focused on him. “Theo… say something.” I whispered nervously, waiting for him to explode, to yell at me for not telling him the truth sooner. But he didn’t. Rather, he just remained numb, staring right at me. I could see the confusion, the questions, and the disbelief in his eyes, But the anger I had feared? It wasn’t there. Slowly, Theo raised his hand, holding up two fingers. I didn’t need him to speak to understand what he was asking. “Two fingers.” I responded. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, his hands balling into fists at his sides. He took a step back, putting distance between us. “ When?" His voice was too calm, too measured. And that terrified me more than if he
