Derick holds my hands in his, leading me toward the lake. We stop in front of a rock, and he helps me take a seat. He then sits beside me, and we both stay silent for a while, enjoying the cool breeze and the wonders of nature. This place is truly beautiful.I take a deep breath as my eyes wander around. Derick moves his hand toward mine. He picks up my hand and entwines our fingers, a sad smile on his face."Derick, I know I owe you an explanation, with everything that has happened these past few days. But I... I don’t even understand what’s going on with me," I try to explain."Macy, I’m the one who owes you an explanation. I lied to you about who I was. I should have told you everything sooner. I was just waiting for the right time," Derick says, staring deeply into my eyes."Hmm, you hid your identity from me. Finding out the way I did was so scary. I never expected someone I thought was human to suddenly transform into a big wolf.""I’m sorry, Macy. I only hid it because I was
The moment I sent Macy upstairs, my eyes locked on Derick. I stared at him angrily."I told you to stay away from her, Derick!" I yelled at my brother."She’s supposed to be resting, not walking around! And why the hell do I smell your scent on her?" I demanded, my voice rising.Derick just stood there, staring back at me. My wolf growled angrily, barely holding back."We only talked, Liam. Nothing more," Derick said, trying to explain."I don’t want you talking to her, not when you still think she’s yours!" I snapped."Are you even listening to yourself, Liam?" Derick shouted back. "Macy is still my friend. You can’t stop me from talking to her!"I growled, my eyes changing to my wolf’s. I stepped closer to him, slow and deliberate, until we were face to face. I could feel his breath on my skin, and I knew he could feel mine.Derick didn’t flinch. He stood his ground, staring back at me. I could feel my wolf, Itching to take over."Don’t test me, brother. When it comes to my mate, I
Macy's POVHow is this even possible? Me? The mate to a werewolf? Why on earth was I chosen as his mate?All these questions ran through my mind. Something felt wrong about how we were drawn to each other. I mean, I even had continuous wet dreams about Liam. And in the process, I was forgetting Derick, my boyfriend, and hurting him.I stood rooted to the spot, tears streaming down my face. My emotions were all over the place. In just two days, I had learned so much about Waterfall, my boyfriend, his family and now this!“All this time, I thought something was wrong with me. That I was going crazy for lusting after my boyfriend’s brother. I saw myself as a selfish person. And now, you’re telling me this is all because I’m your mate?”Liam stepped closer, his hands sliding down my arms until he held my hands in his. He looked deep into my eyes, and I saw nothing but love staring back at me. This man cared for me.“You went through all this because you didn’t know about our race. If o
Liam's POVMy body was on fire as we lay on the bed together. My mate’s arousal was so strong it filled the room, driving both me and my wolf utterly crazy. It took everything in me not to mark her right now. Her sweet moans were like music to my ears, and she looked so beautiful and perfect beneath me.My dick was so hard it hurt. I wanted nothing more than to free it and take my mate mercilessly for making me crave her this badly.I left her face and moved down her body, my hands roaming over her soft skin. I squeezed her breasts, earning a sweet moan from her lips. I trailed kisses down her abdomen, stopping at her belly button before moving lower.When I reached her waistband, I gripped her sweatpants and yanked them down her legs, tossing them aside. Her arousal hit me like a wave, stronger than before. Goddess, she was so wet!I began kissing her legs, starting from her toes. I sucked gently on them and worked my way up, leaving kisses on her soft, beautiful skin. Macy writ
It was a good thing I managed to hold myself back and keep control until Macy tried on all five pairs of lingerie I got her. She was happy and thanked me for the gifts.I had paperwork to finish, so I left for my office, leaving Macy alone in the room again.The pack had many pressing issues that needed attention, and I was doing my best to handle them all. Tonight, I had a meeting with the elders about Finn's betrayal and to discuss the news that I had finally found my mate.My pack is one of the biggest in the States, and after what we discovered in Alveria, all the packs have agreed to meet during the next full moon to address the situation. I still needed to mark my mate. There was a lot to do and not much time.A knock sounded at my office door."Come in," I called, and Greg walked in, taking the seat across from my desk. His expression showed he was in a bad mood."What is it?" I asked.He shrugged before meeting my eyes, anger flashing in his gaze. "Liam, I just came from t
Macy’s POVLater that evening, after Liam left to finish some work, I felt exhausted from all the fun we had and decided to take a nap.I didn’t know how long I had slept, but it was getting dark when I woke up. The room was empty, meaning Liam wasn’t back yet. I went to the bathroom, freshened up, and decided to go downstairs. I tied my hair into a bun and changed into a pair of shorts that stopped just above my knees and a T-shirt. Liam’s clothes are much bigger than mine, but they’re so comfortable that I didn’t mind.Walking through the mansion's long corridors, I couldn’t help but marvel at how massive the place was. This house could easily hold 500 people at once. How much did they spend on this place? I wondered silently. Even the president’s house couldn’t be as big as this, not that I’d ever seen it. Still, this pack house, or whatever they called it, was enormous and stunning.As I passed the house servants, they all bowed their heads in respect. It was still new to me
Derick chuckled at my question, his head bent low. “Macy, I’ve never been a fan of the moon goddess. All my life, I grew up hearing stories about her and the mate bond. But when I met you, everything changed,” he said.“When you met me? How did things change then?” I asked, genuinely curious.“Macy, I fell head over heels in love with you. That’s what happened. When I met you, I didn’t care about a mate bond. It amazed me that I loved you without one, without being drawn to you by your scent. I just loved you, and I still do,” he confessed.“Then why do you feel like you’re being punished?” I asked, trying to understand.“I once said I didn’t want a mate because I had you, Macy. Maybe she’s punishing me because of that,” Derick said, his voice filled with pain.“Well, I don’t believe you’re being punished at all, Derick. Maybe your mate is out there, waiting patiently for you, just like Liam realized I was his. Perhaps she’s waiting for you to find her,” I suggested softly.“Macy, it
Liam banged on Derick's door with such force that the door broke down. Derick, who was sitting at his desk finishing some work, watched closely as his angry brother stormed toward him.In a flash, Liam grabbed Derick by the collar and threw him against the wall. Derick groaned in pain as his body collided hard with it."How dare you! How dare you touch my mate!" Liam roared in rage.Macy ran into the room after him and froze in shock at the sight before her. Liam had Derick pinned against the wall, strangling him, while broken furniture lay scattered across the floor. She clasped her hands over her mouth, unable to speak.Just then, Greg and Mr. and Mrs. Torres burst into the room, their faces full of shock at what was unfolding."Please, stop them... do something!" Macy cried out.Greg rushed forward, trying to pry Liam’s hand from Derick’s throat.“Alpha, please let him go! You’ll kill him!” Greg pleaded.But it was useless. Rage had fully taken over Liam’s body.“How dare you to
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
