Marcus's POVAs I walked hand in hand with Nikki through the park, my heart was racing with anticipation. I couldn't wait any longer to mark her as my mate, the woman I'd been searching for my entire life."Nikki, I know we said we would wait until the full moon, but I can't hold back anymore. I need to mark you as mine." My voice was low and husky, filled with a passion that I couldn't contain.Nikki looked up at me, her eyes filled with love and trust. "I'm ready, Marcus. I want you to mark me as yours."I felt a surge of possessiveness and love as I gently pulled her closer to me. As I looked into her eyes, I felt a connection like never before, a bond that was unbreakable.I leaned in and pressed my lips to her neck, inhaling her sweet scent as I did. I felt her shiver in response, and I knew that she felt the same intense passion that I did.Without another word, I carefully sank my teeth into her skin, marking her as mine forever. As I felt her warmth flow into me, I knew that w
Nikki's POVI woke up to the sound of a knock on my door. It was Sunday, and I was planning to spend the day relaxing at home. I wasn't expecting anyone, so I was curious to see who it was.As I opened the door, I saw Marcus standing there with a big smile on his face. He was holding several bags filled with stuff "Hey, Nikki," he said, stepping inside. "I thought I should come over and pay you a visit. Since you're not working today, I brought some things for you and for us to enjoy."I was surprised but also grateful for his kind gesture. "Thank you, Marcus," I said, smiling back at him. "That's very thoughtful of you." I accepted his gift and led the way into my apartment.We spent the day together, cooking, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. Marcus had brought everything we needed, and we made a delicious meal together. He even helped me with some household chores, which I appreciated.As the day went on, I realized how much I enjoyed spending time with him. He was cari
Nikki's POVI make my way to Marcus' apartment in the evening, still feeling uneasy after my conversation with Lillo earlier. I want to make things right between Marcus and me, but I'm not sure how to do that.When I arrive at his door, I see Marcus locking up his apartment. He looks up and sees me standing there. "What do you want, Nikki?" he asks, his voice cold and distant."I just want to talk, Marcus," I say, trying to keep my voice steady. "Can we please go inside and talk?"Marcus hesitates for a moment, then shakes his head. "I don't want to talk to you right now, Nikki. Please just leave."My heart sinks as I realize that he is still hurt and angry about my past. I take a step back from his door, feeling tears welling up in my eyes."Okay," I say softly. "I'll leave. But please know that I'm sorry for making you feel that bad by taking you back to your past, I never meant to hurt you. I was only being sincere with you."Marcus lets out a deep sigh, but he doesn't look at me.
Syrill's POVI quickly gather my thoughts and turn to my brother and two of my guards who are standing nearby. "Rowan, let's go to the old woman's house. I need to see this for myself.""Alright, Alpha."We quickly made our way out of the pack house, down to the woods where I went with my son, where the old woman was living. It's a small, dilapidated hut which I reconstructed because of my son, on the outskirts of our pack territory. Reaching there, the door is locked, but my guards break it down easily.The inside of the house is musty and dark, with cobwebs and dust covering everything, far worse than we saw it the previous time we came checking. We make our way to the back room, where the old woman used to keep my baby. The emptiness of the room is deafening, but I notice a small chest in the corner.I walk over to the chest and open it. Inside, I find a few old baby clothes, some baby blankets, and a worn-out diary. As I sift through the contents, I notice a folded piece of paper
Marcus POVI pull out my phone and dial Alpha Syrill's number, eager to discuss the business contract we've been working on. After a few rings, he answers, his deep voice coming through the line."Marcus, how are you?" he greets me warmly."I'm good, Alpha. We need to finalize the details of our contract. Can we meet tomorrow to go over everything?" I ask."Of course, Marcus. Just let me know the time and place.""Great, I'll send you the details. Oh, and there's something else I wanted to talk to you about," I pause for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "I've met my mate, Syrill. I'll be bringing her to the pack house soon."There's a brief moment of silence before Syrill speaks up. "That's great news, Marcus. I'm happy for you. What's her name?""I'd rather not say just yet, but I can assure you she's special. I hope you'll get the chance to meet her soon," I reply, a smile spreading across my face."Looking forward to it, Marcus. And congratulations once again," Syrill says warmly.
Syrill's POVAs the sun begins to set, the members of my pack gather in the square, eagerly awaiting the rise of the full moon. It's a tradition that's been carried out for generations, a time where all eligible wolves come to meet their fated mates.I stand at the center of the pack square, watching as my pack members mingle and chat amongst themselves, their excitement palpable in the air. The anticipation builds with each passing minute, until finally, the full moon rises into the night sky, casting a radiant glow over the square."Welcome, my fellow wolves, to the full moon ceremony," I announce to the crowd.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for my pack. Cheers and howls ring out across the square, and I can't help but feel a sense of pride for my pack. This is what it means to
Nikki's POVI take a deep breath as I look around the unfamiliar surroundings of Marcus's newly completed house. This is my new home now, the place where I'll raise our child and spend the rest of my life with my fated mate."Are you okay, love?" Marcus asks, placing a hand on my swollen belly.I smile, feeling the warmth of his touch. "I'm okay," I reply, "just a little overwhelmed, I guess.""It's normal to feel that way," he reassures me, "but I promise you, we'll make a wonderful life together."I nod, knowing that he's right. Marcus is my fated mate, the one I've been waiting for all my life. And now that I'm carrying his child, I feel more connected to him than ever before.As I settle into our new home, I can't help but feel excited about the future.

Lillo's POVI hear the knock on the door and feel a surge of reluctance, but I still get up to answer it. Kryl and Rowan were here! I open the door with a wide grin on my face."Hey, guys! Come on in," I greet them cheerfully, stepping back to let them into my home.As they walk in, I notice Kryl's expression change. His eyes narrow as he looks past me to the living room. My heart sinks as his eyes meet his."Lillo, who is he?" Kryl asks, his voice tight.I hesitate, not sure how to answer. "Uh, just a friend," I say, hoping to diffuse the situation.But Kryl doesn't look convinced. "A friend?" he repeats, his tone becoming more aggressive.Rowan steps in, trying to ease the tension. "Hey, man, let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe we should sit down and talk about this."Kryl nods, but I can tell he's still upset. I lead them to the living room, trying to think of what to say next.As we all sit down, Kryl turns to me. "Lillo, we've been mates for a while now. Why would you do this to
