My heart hammered in my chest as I froze in my tracks. My brother's words rang in my head: explode!What kind of sick game is this madman playing? My wolf howled loudly in my mind for its mate. Her muffled sobs barely escaped through the gag tied over her mouth. Only her tears could be seen, streaming down her cheeks. My gaze locked on the bandage on the side of her head, and my blood boiled with rage. How dare Henry hurt my mate.My heart shattered a million times seeing her like this. She was innocent and didn’t deserve this pain, it was all because of me. Henry wanted revenge for what happened a year ago, and now my mate had to suffer for it.“Henry!” I roared, standing tall with fists clenched.“Stop yelling, Liam. This isn’t your pack grounds,” Henry said, stepping out from a hidden door in the office. That must have been where he kept her.“Let her go! She has nothing to do with the mess you created yourself. You want me, don’t you? I’m here now leave her out of this!” I dema
Liam's povMy brother fought against all three of them, keeping them away from my mate. Henry was growing weaker in our fight.I noticed he couldn’t fight like before. His face was badly bruised from all my blows.I pushed him to the ground, but he dragged me down with him. We crashed into a table, shattering it to pieces.Derick was still battling the three rogues when they suddenly began shifting into their wolf forms right in front of Macy. The room filled with the loud growls of wolves. I knew I had to help my brother. He was strong, but he couldn’t take on all three while also protecting my human mate.I threw Henry off me, grabbed him, and hurled him against the hard wall. His body hit the wall with a loud thud. When I turned, I saw the rogues in their wolf forms stalking Derick, their growls and fangs bared menacingly.Without hesitation, I ran toward them, leaping into the air and shifting into my large black wolf mid-jump. I growled threateningly, baring my fangs as I joine
Macy's POVAll through the night, I couldn’t sleep. I waited patiently for the morning to come. I was scared and didn’t want to die like this. I had so many dreams to fulfill. I wanted to get married and have kids of my own, live in a small house with a garden out back, and a husband who loved me without doubt.I stared out the little window of the tiny room just above the bed. There was no moon or stars in the sky. I sighed. Maybe even the moon and stars couldn’t bear to watch my plight. I didn’t even get to say goodbye to my grandma and Lori. My mind wandered to them. They must be so worried about me.I decided to sing my favorite song, the one my mom taught me when I was younger. That was before she died. It became my favorite after she passed. My mother loved music, too. She taught me how to play the guitar and piano when I turned six. Those moments were the happiest of my life.My family was complete then, me, Mom, Dad, and Grandma. We used to have so much fun. There wasn’t a
Liam's POVWe arrived at Waterfall in no time, and I saw my father and mother standing in front of the pack house with one of the pack's doctors waiting. I had mind-linked Dad earlier to inform him of my arrival and to arrange for a doctor to examine Macy. I quickly got out of the car, carried my unconscious mate in my arms, and walked into the pack house. I went straight upstairs to my room and gently placed her on the bed.She looked so peaceful in this state, though her face was very pale. I sat next to her on the bed, holding her hands in mine as I watched her. The pack's doctor walked in with both my parents behind him."Alpha, if you don't mind me checking on her," the doctor said, his voice tinged with fear.Reluctantly, I let go of her hands. With an annoyed, jealous wolf, I had to leave her side so the doctor could do his job and check on her. Rage didn't want to take any chances leaving her side, even for a minute. The fear of almost losing her, even before we had her,
I woke up two hours later, and Macy was still unconscious, just like before. I leaned closer to her on the bed, so close I could feel her breath on my face. My hands moved to her face, gently pushing back some strands of hair that had fallen and covered part of her face.She looked so beautiful. Mom had cleaned her up earlier, after the doctor left, and helped change her clothes into my T-shirt and some sweatpants so she could sleep comfortably.I reluctantly left the bed and the room after taking a quick shower and changing my clothes. I walked downstairs to the living room. Both my brother and Beta were back, sitting on different cushions with worried looks on their faces.“How did the cleanup go?”“Everything is done, we cleared the place, Alpha,” Greg answered.The tone in which he responded didn’t give much away. Something wasn’t right. I shifted my gaze to my brother, and his expression was no different from that of my Beta.“Go on, spill it. What’s the matter?” I asked, curious
My heart leaped with both joy and fear. At least she was awake and out of danger, but now she would need explanations for what had happened earlier. I won’t lie, I was nervous about how she would react.Quickly, I jumped to my feet and ran upstairs. I entered my room and saw Mom and a few maids surrounding her. The room was filled with her intoxicating, mouth-watering scent that made my wolf excited.I walked further into the room and saw her small silhouette sitting on the bed, her back against the frame. Her hair was scattered from just waking up, and Mom seemed to be whispering something to her.The moment our eyes met, I saw her expression change to one thing I feared: FEAR.She looked terrified, fear etched on her beautiful face, her mouth quivering as she tried to speak.“St…op, please…don’t come close…you, I saw you,” she stammered, her hand raised and pointing at me, trying to stop me. My heart broke at her actions.“Macy, I would never hurt you. You know that,” I tried exp
Macy's POVI woke up with a resounding headache, my head throbbing as if it were about to split in two. I looked around, trying to figure out where I was because this wasn’t my room. The room I was in was much bigger than my entire condo.I blinked my eyes, struggling to register my surroundings. I realized I was on a massive bed, and the entire room was painted in shades of grey. Even the sheets matched. This room was so large that another bed could fit in here, and there would still be plenty of space. Whose room am I in?As I tried to gather my thoughts, I heard the door open. I turned my gaze toward it and saw a girl in servant clothing walking in. She looked shocked but happy to see me awake. She smiled at me warmly, and I couldn’t help but smile back.“You’re finally awake! How do you feel, Ma’am?” she asked in a soft, friendly tone.“I feel thirsty,” I replied.The girl, who couldn’t be more than twenty, walked over to a table in the corner, picked up a jug of water, and po
Liam's POVMy mate’s question was simple but hard to answer. I walked away from my spot and moved toward the bed where she lay. Fear and anger were clear in her eyes as she stared at me.I felt bad. It was my fault she went through all that pain and discomfort.“Macy, I’m sorry you had to go through all that,” I said, my voice full of guilt. “And yes, you could say it was because of me that you were kidnapped.”“What? Why was I kidnapped when I didn’t even know anything?” she asked in a trembling voice.“Macy, Henry was a cruel man who had lost his mind. He brought this upon himself. Please, don’t be angry with Liam,” my dad tried to explain.“No, Dad. This is my fault. If I had finished the job, we wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble. Macy has every right to be angry with me,” I said, turning to look at my mate.Her eyes stayed on me, and I could feel her emotions, confusion, hurt, and anger all over the place. Thanks to my wolf, I could sense them even without her being ma
Who on earth decided to ruin my fun? I murmur inwardly. Macy stiffens in my arms, her heart beating so loudly that I glance down to see her face red with blush. Another knock comes at the door, and I swear I’m about to lose it.“I’m sorry I have to cut our little fun short, but I promise we’ll continue this later,” I say to my mate, whose head is bent low. I lift her chin so she meets my gaze, but she bites her lip, avoiding my eyes and shifting them nervously.“Macy, did you hear me?”She nods, still avoiding eye contact. “Um, my hands… are still, um, on your…” She trails off, motioning to where her hands still rest against my very hard cock through my pants.I smirk and press her hands against me, giving a slight squeeze. A groan escapes my lips at the sensation. Macy’s eyes widen in shock, and she tries to pull her hands away.“What are you doing?” she asks, her voice shaky.“I want you to feel what you do to me,” I say, my voice low. “And trust me, Macy, only you can make me f
I pause in my actions, a smile on my face turning into laughter. My laughter fills the room as I turn to my mate, who is simply staring at me, her face void of expression.“I apologize for laughing. I just wasn’t expecting a question like that from you,” I tell her.“Well, then stop laughing and tell me what it means. I overheard that man back at the warehouse calling you an Alpha, and just now, the maid who left called you the same thing.”Her face looks so innocent, her hair tied up in a bun with strands falling loose around her cheeks. My eyes trail down to her pink, plump lips, slightly parted. They call out to me to kiss and claim. I swallow hard, staring at her lustfully.“Liam, can you hear me?” Her voice pulls me out of my inappropriate thoughts.I blink and shake my head. I must be going crazy.“It’s normal to lust after your mate, especially when she’s this hot,” my wolf purrs in my head. I take a deep breath and smile at her.“Uh, an Alpha is like a leader, someone superi
