Macy's POVDreams do come true—now I believe that. I can't believe Liam is in my apartment right now. I mean, I never imagined I’d see him so soon, let alone have him bring me home. Yes, he’s my boyfriend’s brother, and I’m starting to feel something for him something I can’t fully understand.We walked into my apartment. I switched on the lights and led him to the sitting room. He looked around the house and took a seat.“Nice place you have here. It suits you,” he said.“Thanks. I just moved in a month ago. Plus, it’s close to the office, so I like it. Uh, please don’t mind me. I bet you didn’t want to know all that. I’m just blabbing too much.”Why the hell am I saying so much? I muttered under my breath.“You’re not saying too much. I wanted to know too, so it’s alright,” he said, smiling at me.Goodness! He is perfection. His smile is so beautiful I can’t stop myself from smiling too. I look down at my hands and bite my lip, feeling shy in my own house.“Do you want sugar or jus
Derick's POVI checked my watch for the 100th time. I was supposed to surprise Macy today, but I got caught up in an emergency meeting that won’t end. I looked up and stared blankly at Mr. Cole, who wouldn’t stop rambling. This deal is important for my company, so I just have to endure it.It’s surprising because this is the same man I’ve been trying to reach for months, hoping he’d consider signing this deal with my company. Then, out of nowhere, his secretary calls to set up an emergency meeting.“Why is this meeting taking so long, Tracy?” I mind-linked my secretary, who is also a werewolf.“I don’t know, sir, but it won’t be much longer. Please be patient,” she linked back.I shrugged at her answer. Well, I don’t have a choice but to wait until we’re done here.Liam's POV“Greg, how’s Derick?”“Still in the meeting. I just texted Mr. Cole. They’re still keeping him in,” he replied.I nodded at my Beta’s answer. I asked Greg to set everything up with Mr. Cole earlier this morning
Derick’s POVThe meeting lasted the entire day, and Mr. Cole even insisted I have dinner with him. I couldn’t refuse since it was his way of celebrating our new deal. But all I could think about was seeing Macy. I had missed her so much. To make the evening special, I decided to buy her favorite wine and some flowers.When I got to her apartment, I let myself in using the password. One of the perks of being her boyfriend, I thought with a grin as I stepped inside quietly, not wanting to alert her. The sight before me made me smile Macy was passed out on the couch with the TV still on.“She must have fallen asleep,” I muttered to myself.I walked closer and gently brushed away the strands of hair covering her face. Her eyes fluttered open at my touch, and she blinked a few times before sitting up, her eyes wide with surprise.“Hey, baby. You fell asleep on the couch,” I said with a smile.“Derick, what are you doing here?” she asked, staring at me.“I missed you,” I replied, sitting
Chapter 16Macy's POVThe only person I want to be with right now is Liam no one else but him. It hurts me that he left just like that. I still don't understand what's going on. I don’t know why I’m so drawn to him, but I couldn’t care less. Having him close to me is all I’ve ever wanted. He completes me in ways I can’t imagine, and seeing him today brought nothing but joy.Ever since I met Liam at the party, I’ve thought of no one but him. Even my boyfriend, Derick, doesn’t come to mind anymore. I don’t know what I feel for Liam, but I know I never want to be apart from him. So, where does that leave Derick? After Liam left the apartment, I thought about so many things. Why is this happening to me? How can I want my boyfriend's brother? I’d rather not cause any trouble, but I can’t help it. So many questions run through my head.I lay on my couch, trying to understand how my life changed in less than two weeks. Everything was in place before Liam’s arrival. Derick and I were doi
Liam's POVDerick never returned home that night. I might not know the exact reason they fought, but I'm certain it's because of me. Rage has been restless all through the night, saying Macy isn’t feeling good. He says he can feel her, and that she’s not happy. How Rage can feel her emotions without us marking her is still a mystery to me. As far as I know, you only feel your mate’s emotions after marking them and creating a bond.We waited for the sunrise before leaving for the city. I had to see how she was doing. Whatever she and Derick discussed last night is affecting her, and not in a good way. According to Rage, she’s very sad. I couldn’t feel her, but I could feel Rage, and it’s not every day I see a big, bad wolf like him feel this miserable. So, we decided to check on our mate. I think she needs us now more than ever.When I reached her office parking lot, I decided to call her. Hearing her voice through the phone made me even more eager to see her. I walked into the b
“Can I kiss you, Liam?”Macy asked Liam, who looked shocked at her words. She stared up at him, still in their hug, her eyes red from crying. She looked so helpless. The bond had taken over, and all she wanted was the man in front of her. Macy wanted all of him. Whatever the reason for wanting this gorgeous man so badly, it was enough for her to crave more.At this point, worrying about what others might say didn’t matter at all. The hunger burning within their souls couldn’t be satisfied with mere words.“Are you certain this is what you want, Macy?”“Yes, Liam. I want you so badly. I’ve been dreaming about this since I met you.”“You have no idea how much I’ve wanted this and so much more with you, Macy.”Without wasting another moment, he closed the small gap between them and claimed her lips. He kissed her gently at first, sucking on her lips before biting them. Macy moaned at the sensation as he slid his tongue into her mouth, exploring every inch.Goddess, she tasted so del
Macy's POVIt was already sundown when I woke up. I took in my surroundings, and my mind flooded with the events of the day. Liam came to the office, and we kissed! Oh my goodness. Then, he brought me here in his car. He drove for two hours just because I mentioned this place.I walked into the bathroom and found a jogger and a sweatshirt neatly folded on the counter, along with a pair of flip-flops. I smiled at his gesture, such a gentle, caring man. Quickly, I took a shower and put on the clothes. Looking at myself in the mirror, I sighed at my appearance. Oh, Macy, what have you gotten yourself into? I asked myself.I strolled out of the room, and as I came down the stairs, I heard music playing from the living room. Walking further in, I saw Liam in the kitchen with an apron hanging perfectly on his body and a spatula in one hand. He looked so serious about whatever he was doing in there. The kitchen smelled amazing, and my stomach growled, reminding me I hadn’t eaten since s
Liam’s POVMy wolf was right about our mate—she wasn’t doing fine at all. It hurt us to see her that way, but it hurt me more because I felt it through my wolf. Rage felt all her emotions, which still surprises me. I don’t know how he can feel them, but I do know that her emotions broke my wolf, and that hurt me deeply. Normally, I can only feel her emotions after I’ve marked her, which I hope happens soon.Kissing her was beyond anything I had imagined. When our lips met, the world seemed to stop. Her soft, plump lips tasted divine, and I couldn’t help but groan when we parted. I couldn’t have been happier when she asked me to take her away. If only she knew how much I wanted her.I was so glad she loved the beach house. Her reaction meant everything to me. She doesn’t realize how perfect she is. I’m ready to give her the world. Whatever she asks for, I’ll do anything to make her happy.The next morning, I got up quickly and went downstairs to make breakfast for us. Even though I
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden hue over the pack grounds, as the time for the marking ceremony approached. The air was thick with excitement and anticipation. In the heart of the pack house, the sounds of laughter and chatter filled the air as family and friends gathered to celebrate a momentous occasion. **Mara's Room**In a cozy corner of the pack house, Mara sat cross-legged on her bed, her sparkling blue eyes alight with curiosity. Beside her, Aria sat nervously, twisting her fingers in her lap. “Mara, please! It was just… it was so intense,” Aria replied, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson. “Oh come on! You can’t leave me hanging like that!” Mara insisted, her voice a mixture of excitement and teasing. “You lost your virginity to not one, but two alphas! I need every detail!”Aria giggled, the sound infectious. “Fine, but only if you promise not to tell anyone else. It’s still so surreal.”Mara leaned in closer, her eyes wide with anticipation. “I swear! Cross
The warm morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of Mara’s room, casting a soft glow over the two women sitting together on the bed.Aria, her cheeks flushed with lingering embarrassment, hugged her knees to her chest, her lips curved into a shy smile.Mara, sat beside her, her eyes sparkling with excitement.“So,” Mara began, a mischievous grin spreading across her face, “you have to tell me everything. And don’t leave out a single detail!” She nudged Aria playfully, her voice dripping with anticipation.“I want to hear *all* about last night.”Aria’s cheeks burned even redder as she bit her lip, a nervous giggle escaping her.“Mara…” she mumbled, trying to hide her face behind her hands. But Mara wasn’t letting her off the hook that easily.“Come on, Aria!” Mara teased, her laughter infectious. “You lost your virginity to my brothers! That’s something we can’t just *not* talk about.”Aria couldn’t help but laugh, too, though her face still showed the embarrassment of the nigh
The sun was dipping low in the sky, casting an orange glow across the lake. The soft breeze carried the sweet scent of flowers as it brushed over our skin, but all I could focus on was Aria, our mate.She stood between us, her cheeks flushed, her breathing uneven as the tension thickened around us.Leo and I exchanged a glance, a silent agreement passing between us. Tonight, we would claim her fully, body and soul. And here, on the soft grass beside the lake, under the twilight sky, we would make her ours.“Lie down, baby,” I whispered to her, guiding her down gently. She looked up at me with wide eyes, filled with desire and a hint of nerves. Leo knelt beside her, stroking her cheek softly.“We’re here with you, Aria. We’ll take good care of you,” Leo said, his voice deep and soothing.She nodded, her trust in us evident, and my heart swelled with possessive pride. She was ours.Leo and I wasted no time. As she lay back on the soft grass, her body glistening with anticipation, I lo
My palm itched with a burning need for blood. What just happened was enough to drive anyone insane, how dare those lowlifes come here and threaten us?I could kill that fucker again if I had the chance, and Leo and I? We fear no one, especially not the pathetic Star Crust pack.Our father, being part of the Alpha's council, will undoubtedly handle the situation. But what baffled me was Aria’s sudden outburst, claiming it was her fault and offering to take the punishment.Why would she do that? It didn’t make sense, and that only added to the fury burning within me.Jagao, my lycan, had been restless ever since. The only way to calm him was to let him out. Leo felt the same.Without a second thought, we headed toward the woods, a mutual understanding between us. We didn’t need words to communicate.The second we stepped into the clearing, we both shifted. Our massive wolves hit the ground, their paws sinking into the earth as we took off running at full speed, the tension slowly ebbin
“The fact that everyone knew about this except us still shocks me. It makes me feel so stupid for not noticing the signs.” Mara and I were settled on her bed, thankfully having moved past her tears.“I always thought they hated me, especially Daryl.” A sigh escaped Mara's lips as she took my hands in hers, locking her gaze onto me. “How do you feel about being mated to my hot-headed brothers? Does it scare you at all?” “Not at all. I mean, I was nervous at first, but it turns out they actually like me as their mate,” I replied honestly.She nodded, and for the first time that day, a smile broke across her face before she pulled me into a warm embrace. “Part of me is genuinely happy that you’re mated to my brothers. It means you’ll be living in Waterfall for the rest of your life, and I get to watch you become Luna someday.” Tears brimmed in my eyes at her words, but the last part sent a shiver down my spine. Poor Aria would have to face the reality of becoming Luna one day.“I f
Eventually, I decided to wear a red crop shirt, pairing it with a yellow skirt to avoid unnecessary arguments with my mates. Both men stared at me in admiration after successfully helping me get ready.Daryl fixed my hair while Leo helped me put on my sandals. The feeling of being cared for by them was exceptional; I loved it.My cheeks had remained heated ever since the kisses we shared, and my lips were plump from the kiss, but I relished the sensation.“You look breathtaking, as always.”I smiled at his words, and we stood in front of a full-length mirror, admiring my look. Daryl wrapped his arms around my waist, his face buried between my head and shoulder. He was literally obsessed.Finally, we left the room. When we arrived downstairs, the entire family was present, except for Mara. My heart skipped a beat, knowing she must have learned the truth about the boys and me.I imagined her reaction to this new knowledge; she must be freaking out. Yet she was nowhere to be found as
Aria POV I still remember the first day I met the children of the Alpha; it was the day my mom finally got a job at the waterfall pack house.Mara and I synced shortly after we met; we fell in love quickly, declaring ourselves besties. We both needed one another since we never had friends. Moving from one shelter to another worsened it to keep any friends. We were so glad when Waterfall opened their borders and offered us a home.Daryl and Leo have always been inseparable, ever since my arrival. The boys were not so fond of me, or so I thought since they always found ways to pick on me.Daryl turned nastier, picking on me all the time, ever since the night of my seventeenth birthday party that Luna Macy threw for me. After I foolishly told the truth about being a virgin during our never-have-I-ever game.My nickname came to be ‘Aria the virgin.’ sigh.Growing up with these fine young men messed up with a reserved girl like me, both Daryl and Leo always made me feel some type of way.
Liam's POVFor a minute, I pause in the conversations with a few Alphas that surrounded me, when I notice my son Leo glancing around for something or someone. He seemed worried, so I quickly excused the group. “Son, Searching for someone?” Leo explained everything that happened and the reason they were searching for her. I understood Daryl, his lycan has always been possessive over Aria since they found out she was theirs. “Is something wrong?” Macy asks the second she approaches us. Before we could say a thing, Leo growls as his eyes turn to that of his Wolf.“Fuck! Aria is in trouble…” He yells before Instantly running away. Macy and I follow suit as he shifts into his large Wolf sprinting towards the woods behind the pack house. Gerald and Elaine must have noticed us because, in a few seconds, they arrived at the scene as well.Of course, Jagao killed the young Alpha, and if we did not arrive in time the other might be dead too.We heard of the stories of the first lycan king,
“Let go of me!” Mara screams before pulling away, “What is wrong with you both?”We manage to drag them back Into the pack house, at this point, my beast was getting pissed with them.“Why are you still friends with that loser?” Leo questions, “He is not our friend,” Mara hissed.“Then explain to me why you were seen together.” “It's none of your business, Leo, it is a party and of course, we'll meet people.” “So that's the reason you both are dressed like this?” I asked this time. My gaze was on Aria the entire time.“Nothing's wrong with our dress, Aunt Serai got it for us.” “The Witch!” Leo and I exclaim, the nerves of that old woman, how dare she expose our mate's body!“Everything is wrong with this dress. Especially yours Aria, you look like a slut in it.” I yell angrily. Silence follows afterward, our gaze meet and those puppy eyes stare back in shock. “What the fuck Daryl?” I hear Mara scream, yet our focus is still on one another. Tears dropped down her cheek that mome
