Caleb held her close, his warmth and steady heartbeat lulling her into a sense of safety she hadn’t felt in a long time. The bond between them was undeniable, and despite the confusion and complications, there was a deep sense of rightness in being together.Caleb whispered soothing words into her ear, his voice a balm to her frayed nerves. Slowly, Lilian's eyes grew heavy, and she drifted off to sleep, cocooned in his embrace. Caleb watched her for a while, his fingers gently tracing patterns on her back, until he too succumbed to the pull of slumber.They slept deeply, their bodies and souls finding solace in each other’s presence. As the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, Caleb stirred. He looked down at Lilian, her features softened in sleep, and felt a surge of protectiveness and love. Carefully, he disentangled himself from her and p
Aurora’s POV The room was filled with the beeping of monitors and the quiet hum of medical equipment. I lay on the hospital bed, sweat trickling down my forehead, every muscle in my body straining with the effort of bringing new life into the world. Caden was beside me, his strong hand gripping mine, his presence a steady anchor amidst the storm of labor.“You’re doing amazing,” he whispered, his voice low and soothing. “I’m right here with you.”I focused on his eyes, drawing strength from the love and determination I saw there. With each contraction, I pushed with all my might, the pain intense but the goal in sight. Time seemed to blur, each moment stretching out endlessly and yet passing in a heartbeat.The doctor’s voice broke through the haze. “I can see the head. One more big push, Aurora. You can do this.”With a final, desperate effort, I bore down, feeling a rush of relief as the first baby emerged into the world. A lusty cry filled the room, and tears sprang to my eyes.
Alpha Caden’s POV Ten Years Later. Her smile illuminated the room, a beacon of warmth that drew me in like a moth to a flame. I watched as she moved gracefully, every motion sending a surge of electricity coursing through my veins. When she stretched against me, her body arched with a sensual grace that left me breathless.I buried my face in her hair, inhaling deeply, savoring the intoxicating scent that enveloped me. Her laughter was like music to my ears, a sweet melody that echoed in the depths of my soul. "I need to send a thank-you note to the company that makes my shampoo," she teased."It's not your shampoo that smells so good," I replied, my voice husky with desire. "It's you. You're delicious." I pressed my lips against her neck, trailing soft kisses along her skin, reveling in the taste of her.Her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as our lips met in a slow, tender kiss. Each touch sent sparks flying, igniting a fire that burned hotter with each passing momen
Aurora's POVI never minded not having a place in the pack because I knew I was going to find my mate one day and leave—or so my mother keeps telling me when she sees me looking far away into nothingness. I don't know why they hate me in the first place, but I never cared. Today is my eighteenth birthday, and the Alpha and Luna took it upon themselves to celebrate it in their mansion. I stared at the whole pack as they grinned and sang the happy birthday song, while others took videos and pictures with their phones. I know most of them tolerate me because I am the Beta's daughter and have a good relationship with the Alpha's family. Also, because the Alpha's only son, Lucas, and his twin sister, Liana, are my best friends. They don't have much of a choice but to befriend me too.Lucas and Liana told me to ignore what the rest of the pack thought of me. They just have nothing to do with their lives than make my life miserable simply because I am their best friend.Even though it mak
Aurora's POVI didn't go back to the alpha's house, instead went straight to my parents house which isn't far away from the alpha's being the beta and all. I know my parents are going to handle everything there so I showered and slid beneath the covers to sleep. I am usually not a crier so I am not crying but that doesn't mean I am not heartbroken. It hurts. My chest hurts. My eyes are stinging. Even my breasts feel tender with all the pain all over me. I tried to breathe but I started hyperventilating the next second. Slowly lowering myself to the floor, I tuck my chest to my knees and try my best to regain my breathing. I know panic attacks because I have had a lot in my life. Not being accepted in a pack you grew up in takes a toll on you even if you don't want to care. I know it first hand. And now even the one best friend I knew I had my entire life turned his back against me. He doesn't want to be my mate despite being his best friend. Maybe he never truly liked me and was
Alpha Caden's POVThe weather was chilly as we all stood there looking at the sand closing my mate's lifeless body. Like humans, we are also dressed in black for the funeral. Lucas and Liana are clutching onto one another as they cry their eyes out. She's been dead for two days already but today hits them harder than any other. I am not a crier so I only stared down at the ground. Everyone kept passing around their condolences and saying how much of a great woman she was, which is true but right then, I didn't want to listen to their sympathetic words. I really just want to spend some time in my office with a good whiskey. I did just that. I turned around and left the graveyard, my feet sure as I stepped inside my car and sped to the Alpha house where I'm sure no one will disturb me. The whole pack members will meet at the packhouse to mourn further. As soon as I got home, I showered and yanked on a sweatpant then blindly made my way to the study. I took two bottles of whiskey
Aurora's POVI don't know why I thought it was a good idea to come back to Brown Wood Pack after my father told me about Flora's death. She's been sick for a great deal of time and called her once to ask how she was. She was so happy to finally hear from me. I cut off contact with everyone for two good years, my parents included. I felt like I needed some time for myself without going through those questions they would no doubt ask. Why did I run away? Why suddenly and what is going on. I don't want to answer them. I wasn't ready. I haven't told them that Lucas was my mate and he has rejected me till date. I feel like there is no use. It is only going to ruin the relationship they all have and I don't want that. My father and the alpha are great friends and I know how my father thinks. He could cut off Lucas in his life for this. I don't want that. I'm sure Lucas hasn't told them either or they would have asked when I got in contact with them. Those years in the human world chan
Aurora's POV"Please don't do this to me." I murmur to myself after the door got locked from behind and there is no other way for me to leave. I lie there on the floor in Alpha Caden's study not knowing what to do or how to think because things just blew out before I could even think. This is all too much for my mental health. I have been trying so hard to keep back in focus but it's hard now. I left this pack for the same reason. I wanted peace of mind which this pack won't give me so I ran away. I left for my happiness only to come back and get trapped in the most absurd and unexpected way. This is really not what I was expecting when I decided to come to Brown Woods. I have a long list of clients waiting for me back in Canada to get their tattoos designed. I have so much to do back home. I haven't fed my dog too though I have given him to my neighbor to take care of him while I am away. She is going to be worried if I don't return soon. No one walked into the room for the next

Third Person POVLilian lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling as the minutes ticked by. Sleep evaded her, her mind a tumultuous sea of emotions and thoughts. Her wolf paced restlessly within her, agitated and yearning. She turned over, trying to find a comfortable position, but it was no use. The bond she felt with Caleb was like a persistent itch she couldn't scratch, a need that gnawed at her insides.With a frustrated sigh, she threw back the covers and got out of bed. The cold floorboards against her feet did nothing to soothe her restless spirit. She wrapped a shawl around her shoulders and quietly slipped out of her room, the moonlight casting soft shadows in the dimly lit corridor.Her steps were silent as she made her way through the palace halls, the silence of the night amplifying the sound of her own heartbeat. She knew where she was going. There was only one place she could go. She needed to see Caleb. To feel his presence. To understand what had happened between them.
Aurora’s POV I found Caden pacing in his study, his face a mask of anger and frustration. His twin brother and his daughter—how could things have spiraled out of control so quickly? I could feel the tension radiating from him as I approached, my heart aching for him."Caden," I called softly, but he didn't stop pacing.I moved closer, gently reaching out to touch his arm. "Caden, please. Sit down. Let's talk."He halted, looking at me with stormy eyes. "Fox, you don't understand. My own brother... with my daughter. How could he do this? How could she?"I guided him to the couch, my touch gentle but firm. "I know you're angry. But getting worked up like this won't solve anything."He resisted at first, but I coaxed him with soft touches, my fingers brushing his arm, then his cheek. I leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. Slowly, his rigid posture began to soften. He sighed heavily and allowed me to lead him to sit down.As he sat, I settled myself on his lap, facing him. "Cad
Third Person POVLilian sat on the edge of her bed, the room still reeling from the emotional storm that had just passed. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, her body wrapped in the sheets that had witnessed the chaos. She felt hollow, her mind a swirl of confusion and heartache.The door creaked open, and Aurora stepped in quietly, her expression filled with concern. She crossed the room in a few quick strides and wrapped her arms around Lilian, holding her tightly. Lilian stiffened at first, then melted into the embrace, the dam of her emotions breaking once more.Aurora stroked her hair gently. "Lilian, I'm here.It's okay. Let it all out."Lilian clung to Aurora, her sobs coming hard and fast. "I felt it, Aurora. I felt the bond. We're truly mates, and I think I already like him. I feel like I can't live without him. But now he's madto me, and it hurts so much."Aurora held her tighter, her own eyes filling with tears at seeing her friend in such pain. "Oh, Lilian. I'm so s
Third Person POVCaden approached Lilian's bedroom with a heavy heart, ready to explain everything to his daughter. The events of the past week had been tumultuous, and he needed her to understand why he hadn’t told her about him and Aurora. But as he reached for the door, something felt off. The door was slightly ajar, and the scent of sweat and sex hung thick in the air.Pushing the door open, Caden’s eyes widened in shock at the sight before him. Lilian was in bed, naked and tangled in sheets, with a man beside her. His heart dropped when he recognized the man—it was Caleb, his twin brother. Rage ignited within him like a wildfire."You son of a bitch!" Caden roared, storming into the room.Caleb barely had time to react before Caden's fist connected with his jaw, sending him reeling back onto the bed. Lilian screamed, pulling the sheets up to cover herself as the brothers clashed violently."What the hell are you doing?" Caleb shouted, scrambling to defend himself as Caden swung
Third Person POV Caleb rises to his knees, rips open the zipper on his trousers, and fists his cock in his hand.Lilian stares at it with wide eyes, her hammering heart skipping a beat, then starting up again, beating even faster. Thick and veined, the shaft juts out proudly from his fist. The crown is fat and red, the slit on top glistening with a drop of wetness.His cock is massive, almost intimidating in size. "That look on your face is a bloody nice compliment," he growls. Then he positions himself between her spread thighs, sliding the head up and down through her pussy lips, wetting it.Lilian gasps, managing a breathy, "Condom?""Wasn't planning on having sex today," he says through gritted teeth, staring down into her wide eyes. "Still time to say no, Lilian."She's so turned on, she can barely think. "You said you were clean?""Aye. I promise.""Then fuck me, Caleb. And don't you dare hold anything back. I want everything you have to give me."His grin looks feral. With a s
Third Person POVDelirious, her eyes rolling back in her head, Lilian gasped, “What the hell is happening?” Maybe she is drunk. “Your mate is fingering your gorgeous wet cunt, that’s what,” Caleb growled, his voice dripping with lust.“Goddess! Caleb!” she cried out, her body trembling.“Aye, lass. Say my name just like that when you come,” he breathed, his accent thick and intoxicating.Rocking his hips into her so his erection was pressed right up against her hip, he kissed a path down her neck to her chest, then licked at her cleavage, dipping his tongue into the cleft between her breasts. When she groaned again, he lightly bit down on the swell of one breast.“I need to taste every inch of you,” he whispered, his voice dark and commanding. “I need to bite every perfect part of your skin. I want to fuck you and spank you and make you take my cock down your throat. I want you to tell me every filthy thing you want me to do to you, starting right fucking now.”He pulled his fingers
