Benita’s POV

Nina turned to Nathan, her face streaked with tears, her voice trembling. “Nathan, you know me! I would never lay a hand on her. The marks…” She choked on her words, glancing at the rest of the family before continuing. “The marks aren’t from me. They’re… they’re from a herbalist.”

The room fell silent as everyone stared at her in confusion. Nathan’s frown deepened, and he stepped closer to her, his voice low and filled with anger. “What are you talking about?”

Nina sniffled and straightened her posture, her hands clasped tightly together. “Lila’s illness worsened for a while. I… I was desperate to help her. So I took her to a herbalist. He said he could cure her, but his treatment involved… certain methods.”

“Methods?” I scoffed, my anger bubbling to the surface again. “You mean whipping her with a cane? You’re lying, Nina!”

Nina flinched at my words. “It wasn’t my idea! He said it would draw out the sickness!” she defended, her voice cracking. “Please, come wit

Was Nathan wrong with his words?

Nathan is a dumbass. He should know that Benita wouldn't just accuse anyone like that. Benita is right.

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Never loved you

    Alpha Nathan’s POV I stood speechless watching her walk away. My wolf growled angrily, urging me to go after her and explain things to her. How could she think I would support Nina over her? No, I wasn’t doing that. It’s just that it’s difficult to believe Nina could hit her child. I was finding it difficult to accept, and besides, Lila herself said the same thing Nina had told us. “You are making things worse for yourself, Nathan,” my wolf snapped at me. I frowned and went back into the room. Stepping back inside, I found Nina on the bed while Lila was wrapped in her arms as she stroked Lila’s hair tenderly. The sight was that of a loving mother and daughter, how could I believe Nina would do that? My eyes went to Lila, and she held my gaze, but nervousness flickered in her eyes, and she quickly looked away. Slowly, I walked over to them and placed my hand on Lila’s forehead, realizing her temperature was normal, and she seemed fine. “How are you feeling?” I asked softly a

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Refusing my request

    Benita’s POV I had my reasons for wanting Nina to leave. In her absence, I could get closer to Lila and give her the courage to speak up and expose Nina for the monster she truly was. But none of that could happen if Nina stayed. The problem was whether Nathan would agree to it. “Alpha Nathan, I’m waiting for your response,” I demanded as I watched Nathan, who stood speechless, staring at me like I had just asked him to commit murder. It seemed my demands were more than he expected. I crossed my arms, tapping my fingers against them impatiently as I waited for Nathan’s response. His silence was starting to irritate me. Here he was, staring at me as if I had asked him to move a mountain. “Alpha Nathan, I’m waiting for your response,” I repeated, keeping my voice steady, though the frustration churned inside me. Nathan exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through his dark hair before meeting my gaze. His jaw was clenched, a sign that he was struggling to find the right words. “Yo

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Invitation

    Benita’s POV Reaching the courtyard, I was met with the exhausted but hopeful gazes of the sick pack members. Their relief was obvious, though they looked as if they had been holding on to hope by a mere thread. “How many are still infected?” I asked, scanning the crowd. “About a hundred,” Darius responded. A hundred. The number made my chest tighten. These numbers were still many, and I couldn’t heal them all—not at once. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose to compose myself. “I can only heal ten people for today,” I said softly. “Please bring forward the most critical cases.” Darius nodded and immediately began instructing the others to sort through the patients. The first patient was brought forward, a middle-aged man not much older than I. His pale skin was clammy, his breathing shallow. I knelt beside him, placing my hand gently on his forehead. “What’s his name?” I asked, my voice softer now. “Micah,” his mother said, her voice trembling as tears streamed d

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   What is she hiding

    Nathan’s POV “What you did was wrong. You should have sent Nina away,” my wolf growled in my mind, sounding disappointed in my decision. I frowned, leaning against the balcony railing outside my room as the cool afternoon breeze brushed against my skin. Why couldn’t anyone understand? Sending Nina away was an option, sure, but it would only complicate things further. Lisa needed her, at least for now. No one seemed to grasp the bigger picture. Grunting in frustration, I raised my glass and took a long sip, the burn of the whiskey doing little to ease the tension coiling in my chest. My gaze wandered across the mansion’s expansive grounds. That’s when I saw her. Benita. She was barely visible in the distance, slipping out of the side entrance with hurried but quiet steps. My brows furrowed in confusion. Where was she going? Why hadn’t she notified anyone? Curiosity tugged at me, and before I realized it, I had set my glass down and was racing downstairs. Keeping my steps light,

    Benita’s POV Racing back in my wolf form, I wasn’t surprised to find Alpha Nathan still waiting exactly where I had left him. Halting before the tree, I took a moment to catch my breath, only to notice something unusual. Alpha Nathan was leaning casually against the trunk, one hand shoved into his pocket, the other gripping my clothes and belongings. A growl of frustration escaped me. Why is he holding my things? I padded closer, letting my wolf eyes lock onto his smug face. Nathan smirked, clearly entertained by my predicament. “Shift back,” his voice drawled, smooth and taunting. “Unless, of course, you’re comfortable staying like that.” I bared my teeth in irritation but couldn’t hold the shift for much longer. With a frustrated huff, I relented. My wolf receded, fur melting into skin, bones cracking as I shifted into my human form. The cold air pricked at my bare skin, and I immediately crossed my arms over my chest, glaring at him. “Give me my clothes,” I demanded through gr

    Benita’s POV His lips trailed down to my belly, leaving soft kisses across my skin. I felt his fingers brush between my thighs, teasingly slow, while his mouth continued to worship my body. A groan escaped his lips when his fingers found the wetness pooling at my core. “You’re so wet, darling,” Nathan whispered with satisfaction, his breath hot against my skin. He moved back up, capturing my lips in another deep kiss. As our mouths tangled, I felt his finger slip inside me, drawing a gasp that melted into the kiss. Nathan moaned into my mouth, his touch teasing and overwhelming as he pleasured me with his finger. My wolf purred, surrendering to the sensation, while my body trembled beneath his. His hand worked magic, adding another finger, and I moaned louder, clutching at his hair, desperate to feel more. His hardness pressed against me, a reminder of what was to come, and my heart raced with anticipation. His fingers curled inside me with expert precision, sending waves of pl

    Benita’s POV Nathan’s jaw tightened, and I could see the war waging in his eyes. Nina’s face contorted in disbelief. “You can’t be serious.” “She’s serious,” Nathan said abruptly, his voice sharp. I was stunned by his unexpected response. Nina gasped, her eyes flickering between the two of us. “You’d throw me out for her?” Nathan sighed, rubbing his temple. “You brought this on yourself.” Nina’s lips trembled with disbelief, but Nathan’s expression held no room for argument. “You have until tomorrow to leave,” he added, his tone final. Nina scoffed and shrugged. “I'm leaving with my daughter then…” “No you are not.” Alpha Nathan cut in. “Lila stays here for her treatment, and you are free to visit.” A big victorious smile spread across my face. Nina’s face turned pale as she glanced between us. With a huff, she stormed past me, brushing against my shoulder as she whispered, “This isn’t over.” I didn’t flinch. Nathan exhaled deeply, his eyes lingering on me. “Benita…” I

    Alpha Nathan’s POV A sharp knock jolted me from my sleep. Instinctively alert, I opened my eyes and caught the familiar scent of Benita. She was at my door. Without hesitation, I threw off the covers, hurried to the door, and swung it open. To my surprise, there she was, standing in the hallway. Before I could utter a word, she brushed past me, stepping into my room as if she owned the place. Confused, I shut the door behind her, my gaze flickering to the wall clock. It was barely 5 a.m. My brow furrowed. What could possibly bring her here at this hour? “I’ve had a change of mind,” Benita said, and my brow furrowed. “A change of mind?” I asked, confused. “Yes.” She nodded and folded her arms. “We’re not sending Nina away. She stays here.” Benita’s words made my brow ache with confusion. “You want Nina to stay back?” I asked again, still puzzled, and Benita nodded. “You’re right. Lila needs her, and I’ve thought about it myself.” I frowned and took a step closer to her

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   The End

    Still thrusting inside her, Theo moved over to the left crook of her neck and licked it. Then he took out his fangs and sank them into her. Lagertha exclaimed in discomfort, but Theo kept sinking his fangs in until he got a taste of her blood and marked her. Slowly, he pulled away and began licking the spot he had marked while his wolf howled in pleasure. Initially, Lagertha felt discomfort, but through the licks and continued thrusting inside her, the pain was later replaced by pleasure and her wolf was purring. “Mark me,” Theo grunted as he pulled away from her neck, taking his fangs in. Lagertha swallowed. She leaned forward, her lips finding the spot where his neck met his shoulder, her teeth grazing his skin. She bit down, sinking her fangs into his flesh, marking him as hers. Theo groaned, his body tensing, his hands gripping her tighter as he felt the bond form, the connection between them strengthening. “That is it,” Theo moaned in pleasure while she licked her mark, and

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Love Making

    Theo pulled his fingers out slowly, and Lagertha bit her lip at the emptiness that followed. A soft gasp escaped her as his thumb gently brushed over her sensitive nipple, sending a shudder through her body. He shifted his weight, settling between her legs, and her breath caught when she realized what was about to happen. “Say it again, my love,” Theo murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, filled with warmth and vulnerability that only she ever got to hear. “Please… I want to hear you say it.” Lagertha hesitated, her chest rising and falling with uneven breaths. She wanted this—she had never wanted anyone the way she wanted Theo. Her heart was full of him. Still, there was a trembling in her soul, a fear of how deeply she was giving herself. But his presence grounded her, and the love in his gaze made it impossible to pull away. “Please,” she whispered, her voice trembling with desire and trust. “Make love to me.” Something softened in Theo’s eyes. He leaned forward and press

    He leaned in and kissed her again, this time with more intention. His lips brushed hers slowly, delicately, as if he were savoring the moment. Lagertha's hands clutched at his shoulders, her breath catching as he deepened the kiss, his tongue flicking gently against hers before retreating. Theo pulled back just slightly, eyes never leaving hers. “May I?” he whispered, his fingers grazing the thin straps of her gown. Lagertha nodded, her voice lost to the lump in her throat. Theo slid the straps down her shoulders, the sheer white fabric slowly cascading down her body until it pooled silently at her feet. She stood before him, naked, her breath shallow and skin tingling with awareness. The candlelight caressed every inch of her skin, wrapping her in a warm golden glow that made her look otherworldly. Theo's gaze roamed over her body with admiration, not lust—though the heat in his eyes made her shiver. “You’re so beautiful,” he whispered, his voice husky. “Even more than I imagined

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Nervous

    “Are you nervous?” Lila asked Lagertha, who was standing before the dresser in just a white, transparent, sexy gown. The dress was a gift from Lila. Just a few hours ago, Lagertha and Theo had exchanged vows as husband and wife, and Lagertha had just been crowned as Luna. Guests were still downstairs, music was still playing, when Lila had to drag Lagertha away so she could get her prepared for her first night with Theo. “Yes, I am nervous,” Lagertha responded as she turned away from the mirror and looked at Lila. “But I am excited,” she added with a smile. Lila chuckled and took both her hands. “Coming from someone who has experienced it, I will tell you it is the best experience in one’s life, and especially when you are doing it with a man you love.” Lagertha smiled at Lila, but she was still worried. “What if I don’t match up to his expectations? You know Theo is more experienced with women… What if…” she trailed off. Lila squeezed Lagertha’s hands gently, cutting off her

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Back Home

    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

  • Fated To The Mate Who Loves My Sister   Second Chance

    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. My body straighten

    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,
