No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend Surrounding me
CadenThe night air was thick with the scent of wildflowers and freshly cut grass, wrapping around us like a warm blanket. Above, stars twinkled against the velvety blackness, casting a soft glow over the open field, but my attention was entirely fixed on her—the only light I needed in this vast expanse. Lila stood before me, her dark eyes alive with a hunger that matched my own. I could see the way her lips parted slightly, her breath coming in shallow gasps as desire ignited a fire within us both. In that moment, I knew I’d give anything just to see her like this, radiant and wild, the essence of everything I craved.I took a step closer, narrowing the space between us. "Lila..." Her name fell from my lips like a confession, my voice barely a whisper in the stillness of the night. But before I could say more, she reached up, her fingers grazing along my jaw in a soft yet insistent, pulling me down toward her. The instant our lips met, a fierce heat ignited between us, a wildfire t

LilaThe cool night air brushed against my skin, a refreshing contrast to the heat still simmering between us. Lying beside me in the grass, Caden’s chest rose and fell in sync with mine, his warm body an anchor amidst the quiet night. I could feel his heartbeat, strong and steady beneath my hand, each beat reminding me of the intensity we’d just shared under the stars. His fingers traced the edge of my collarbone, igniting little sparks that traveled down my spine, each touch sending fresh waves of longing through me.I propped myself up on one elbow, my fingers gliding over his toned chest, tracing the light sheen of sweat glistening under the moonlight. His gaze, deep and intense, met mine, and a slow smile spread across his lips. "What are you thinking?" he asked, his voice low and rich, as if he already knew the answer.I smirked, letting my hand linger over the contours of his chest. “Think you can keep up, Mr. Walker?” I teased, raising an eyebrow as my fingers continued their

CadenI am dead meat if Ronan ever found out about this! “We should head back in now.” I whispered into Lila’s head resting silently on my chest. “Hmmm. We should.” She replied dreamily.I sighed and helped her to sit up. She was definitely tired and wasted, but I tried my best to dress her up, did the same to myself, then guided us back to the club house. The music hit us the moment we walked back into the club, a pulsing beat that matched the buzz still lingering from our moment out in the field. I held Lila’s hand, guiding her through the crowd as she swayed slightly, her steps unsteady, and her head leaning against my shoulder. Her lips were curved in a soft, dreamy smile that tugged at something deep in me. She was still tipsy, the way she leaned into me said it all. I chuckled, shifting her a bit closer as we navigated our way back inside.“Still with me, Lila?” I teased, squeezing her hand lightly.She blinked up at me, her eyes a bit glassy but her smile bright. “With you

EthanAs I stood by the door of the club, fiddling with my phone, I couldn’t shake the feeling of anticipation and unease that coursed through me. I had seen Caden’s car parked out front, the sleek black Cadillac unmistakable in the dim light. The last time I had seen it was when he had left the bistro with Lila, and that knowledge made my heart race a little faster. It was one thing to know they were together, but it was entirely different to see them in a place like this.I hadn’t planned on waiting for them, but curiosity got the better of me. I had tried to get into the VIP section earlier, but the bouncer had turned me away. I sighed, my breath mingling with the cold night air, and pulled out my phone to check for any messages. Maybe I could text Ronan and get a hint about what was happening. As I tapped the screen, I imagined the sight of Caden and Lila together, entangled together, dancing together, playing over shot glasses. Fuck! It was a sight that sent a jolt of something

CadenAs I stepped back into the private lounge, a wave of relief washed over me. The club’s energy was infectious, but all I could think about was Lila. I swept over the room, till my eyes landed on her slumped against the plush couch, a wave of frustration surged through me. She was already asleep, her head tilted at an awkward angle and her hair a wild tangle around her shoulders.I cursed under my breath, feeling an uncharacteristic swell of protectiveness. "Damn it, Lila," I muttered, stepping closer to her. The sight of her ruffled clothes and scattered hair made my stomach twist with concern. Ronan can’t see her like this, I thought, feeling the weight of brotherly responsibility pressing down on me. She looked vulnerable and lost, and I couldn't allow her to be seen like that.Without thinking, I bent down and gently lifted her into my arms. She stirred slightly, her face nuzzling against my chest as I cradled her close. I made my way through the crowd, careful not to jostle h

EthanI headed straight to Reuben’s crib, the night’s events swirling in my mind like a tempest. I replayed the conversation with Caden over and over, trying to make sense of it all. It was like trying to catch smoke with my bare hands—every time I thought I had a hold on something concrete, it slipped away, leaving only confusion. Caden’s presence gnawed at me, this persistent, intangible itch I just couldn’t scratch.As I pulled up to the crib, the energy of the party hit me like a wave. The bass thumped through the walls, and laughter echoed into the night air, mingling with the faint scent of alcohol. I pushed through the door, squinting against the sharp neon lights flashing around the room, and was instantly swallowed by the crowd. My friends and cousins were deep in celebration, shouting, dancing, and raising their glasses. I tried to sink into the atmosphere, to let it wash away the heaviness that had settled in my chest.After a few minutes, I spotted Emily across the room, l

LilaSunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, casting a warm, golden glow over the room. I stirred, feeling the morning light settle over my face as I blinked my eyes open, still half-caught in the dream I’d been having. The world around me was a hazy blur, and for a moment, I could have sworn I saw Caden standing by the window, his tall figure haloed in the sunlight, watching me with that quiet, intense gaze I’d come to know.“Caden?” I murmured, my voice still thick with sleep as I tried to focus. The dream must have lingered longer than I’d realized. I felt a small, sleepy smile tugging at my lips. “Where’d you go, babe?”A voice, not Caden’s but familiar, chuckled in surprise, breaking through the fog of my mind. “Where did I go? Babe?” My heart dropped as I jolted fully awake, the remnants of my dream dissolving instantly. Blinking rapidly, I forced my eyes to adjust, and there, standing in the sunlight with a curious look on her face, was Joan. She was dressed in o

CadenThe night had felt endlessly long, and sleep refused to come. I’d done everything I could to settle Lila, dressing her up to finally coaxing her into bed, wrapping her snugly in a blanket to ward off the chill. But for reasons I couldn’t explain, a restless energy kept me awake, my thoughts a tangled mess as I paced back and forth. I’d barely sat down on the couch when a knock sounded at the door, sending a jolt through me.I knew who it would be even before I opened the door. Ronan. His strong sandalwood scent could be perceived from miles away. When I opened it, there he stood, his expression as steely as ever, with his beta, Federick, right behind him. Federick barely paused before moving past me, lifting Lila from the bed as if she weighed nothing.Thank heavens she was already dressed. Even so, her head lolled gently against Federick’s shoulder, her breathing steady and calm, oblivious to the storm brewing in her brother’s eyes.Ronan looked me up and down, his jaw clenche

No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend Believe him
Emily The moment Ethan and Caden stepped back into the room, I could feel the shift in the air. My heart stuttered for a second as I took in the sight of my husband, his expression softer but still lined with the weight of everything that had just happened. Caden, on the other hand, looked like a man who just put out a fire, calm and assured. He caught Lila’s eye and gave her a subtle nod, a silent message passing between them.Lila turned to me and smiled. “Emily, Caden and I need to grab some groceries. We’ll pick up the kids on our way back.”I knew exactly what she was doing. She was giving us privacy, a chance to talk. A warm appreciation swelled in my chest, and I nodded, smiling back at her. “Thank you.”She waved me off as she grabbed her purse, and with a final knowing glance, she and Caden stepped out of the house, leaving Ethan and me alone.The silence stretched between us, heavy and uncertain. Ethan shifted his weight, rubbing a hand over the back of his neck. I stayed

EthanI slammed my fists into the steering wheel, the sharp sting running up my arms doing little to curb the frustration boiling inside me. I shouldn’t have let my temper get the best of me. I shouldn’t have snapped at Emily. But goddamn it, everything is falling apart, and I feel like I’m drowning with no way to get my head above water.I wasn’t supposed to make mistakes. I was supposed to take care of her, protect her, build a future where she’d never have to worry. Instead, I got swindled like a fool.Reuben. That bastard. He’d played me like a puppet, and I had danced to his tune, convinced that the deal would put us ahead. My financial advisor had warned me.“Ethan, this is too risky,” He said, but I had been arrogant, thinking I could handle it. Reuben must have been laughing behind my back, knowing full well what he was doing. And now? Now I was standing in the ruins of that stupidity, watching everything I worked for crumble.I rear back and punch the dashboard again.
No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend Do it
Emily I knew something was wrong with Ethan before he even opened his mouth. The way his shoulders tensed when he thought no one was looking, the dark circles under his eyes from sleepless nights he never spoke about, the way he ran his hand through his hair when he thought too hard about something these were the little signs that only someone who truly knew him could catch.And I knew him. Knew him well enough to understand that he was keeping a secret. A big one.Lila and I stepped back into the living room, balancing the glasses of pineapple juice in our hands. I handed Ethan his glass, offering a soft smile. “Here you go, love.”He accepted it without looking at me. “Thanks.”Lila, ever the smooth one, slid onto the couch beside Caden and passed him his drink, shooting me a quick glance, almost as if to ask, Are you ready for this?I wasn’t. But I had no choice.I cleared my throat. “Ethan.”He sipped his juice. “Yeah?”I hesitated for a moment, gathering my thoughts, and then
No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend The kitchen
LilaThe mood in the living room had shifted. The tension was palpable, as though the walls themselves were closing in on us. Ethan was unusually quiet, staring into his drink as if it held the answers to questions he wasn’t ready to ask, let alone answer. Caden and I exchanged looks, but neither of us dared to speak up. It had been a while since we’d all been together, and I could sense the heaviness that hung in the air, especially around Ethan.But it wasn’t until I caught Emily’s face, suddenly drained of color, that I felt a shiver of unease. She had been laughing just a minute ago, her usual lighthearted self, but now she sat there, a shadow of herself, her eyes flickering nervously. She was hiding something. I knew her too well.I didn’t want to push her in front of everyone, but I also couldn’t let it slide. I stood up, my feet carrying me toward her. "Emily," I called gently, "You good?"She froze for a moment, then forced a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. "Yeah,
No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend We realized
EmilyTen years had passed and for two weeks now the rain had not let up. It was as if the clouds themselves were mourning, drenching everything in their sorrow. The funeral was anything but ordinary. Reuben had taken his own life, leaving behind a legacy as dark as the storm above. Pack traditions dictated that the body should be cremated, the ashes scattered to allow the soul to roam free. But for me, it wasn’t so simple. I’d known Reuben, and although his narcissistic and manipulative lifestyle had led to us going our separate ways and ultimately his sentence to the prison, I could not deny that I had once loved him and that he was also Ethan’s relative. “Ethan,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the howling winds, “Are you sure about this?”He didn’t answer immediately, his eyes fixed on the freshly dug grave. His jaw clenched, his brow furrowed. I could tell he was fighting with himself—struggling with a decision that felt so wrong but so necessary. Finally, he turne
No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend Epilogue
Emily's POV Two years had passed since that life-changing day when everything seemed to fall into place. I stood at the kitchen counter, gazing out the window at the garden beyond. The sun was shining, a golden light spilling across the earth, painting everything in soft hues of warmth. The twins were playing outside, laughing as they chased each other around, their tiny feet kicking up little clouds of dust. Joan's son, almost two years old, was toddling along beside them, his innocent grin lighting up his entire face as he followed the twins’ every move. Lila’s baby, just a year old, was content in her arms, the tiny bundle snuggled against her chest, peacefully asleep.And then there was mine. My son. Our son. He had just turned one, and his bright eyes followed the others, his small hands reaching out to touch the world around him. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched him, my heart swelling with a love that felt boundless. He was the perfect combination of Ethan and me, with
No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend It together
Emily’s POVThe morning was crisp, the air just chilly enough to make me wish I had a scarf but not so cold that it drove me inside. I had grabbed my camera before heading out, planning on capturing the beauty of the city and the world around me for my blog. It wasn’t the most glamorous job, but I loved it—those quiet moments, the things most people overlooked, caught forever through the lens of my camera. I had started blogging as a way to reclaim some of my life after everything that had happened with Reuben, and over the past two months, it had been an escape. But now, it felt like something more—a way to share what I had found in the quiet spaces between moments, my own healing journey.I’d never been much of a morning person, but I had to admit, there was something beautiful about the way the world woke up. The soft golden hue of the rising sun filtering through the trees, the chirping of the birds, and the occasional rustle of leaves as a gentle breeze blew through the streets.

Ethan’s POVThe tension in the air was thick with the weight of what had just transpired. My wolf, still surging with adrenaline, felt like it was still in the thick of the fight, the echo of my claws scraping against Reuben’s skin. But the battle was over. Reuben had been captured, and now all that remained was to ensure that the twins were safe and that justice was done.I couldn’t help but glance over at the twins as I carried them, still unconscious but alive—thank the gods. The small bodies of the children felt impossibly light in my arms, but the fear gnawing at me wasn’t going away anytime soon. I could already imagine the damage done to them—mentally and physically. The kind of trauma they would have to overcome.As I moved through the woods, my thoughts kept drifting back to Emily. Her tear-streaked face haunted me. She’d been through too much—more than anyone should have to endure. I hated that Reuben had forced her to go through all this, but at least, for now, we had saved
No Strings Attached: My Brother’s Best Friend The war
Ethan’s POVThe forest was eerily quiet, the air thick with tension. My pulse pounded in my ears as I led the way through the thick trees. Every step felt heavier than the last, each footfall a reminder of what we were about to face. The twins were close. Too close. I could almost taste the fear in the air, the bitter tang of it sinking into my chest.The plan had been simple: get in, get them out, and deal with whatever came next. But there was no plan for what was about to happen. The forest was quiet now, too quiet, like the calm before a storm, and I could feel it deep in my bones.As we moved deeper, I could sense them—Reuben and his men—waiting. Their presence, looming in the shadows, thickened the air. The anger was palpable, like a storm cloud ready to burst. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew one thing for sure: we were walking into a confrontation that could change everything.When we finally reached the clearing, there they were. Reuben stood at the edge of the trees,
