I stared at him, my eyes wide with shock. I wasn't expecting it, didn't count him as someone who would confess their feelings for someone just because they felt like it. “You love me? Like really love me?! You've known me for what, a few months? And you've already marked me without my consent? That's not love, that's an obsession!”“Not it's not.” He took a step closer to me, his eyes pleading. It wasn't the first occasion I'd seen that expression on his face, but it was the first time he looked like he was about to cry. “Aithan, please understand. My wolf chose you, and I couldn't fight it. I know it was wrong to mark you without your permission, but I couldn't help myself. I love you, and I want to be with you.”I laughed; a bitter, mocking sound. It was amusing to hear him confess his feelings when we were enemies. It was funny, something my father and Marcus would laugh over should they hear about it. “You love me? You don't even know me! You know nothing about me, except that I

I let out a dry laugh at his words, a mirth that didn't reach my heart at all. I didn't know what to do, couldn't tell what to respond to his words with. Instead of saying anything, I let out a sigh.“Lyker, I —”“Let's just give each other space. It's evident being together made us this way.” I looked up at the ceiling. “I will use suppressants to get through —”“No! You will die!” He interrupted me before I could complete my words. “I have already marked you. Until your heat is over, you can't use suppressants! You will only hurt yourself, and I don't want that. Please listen to me, Ly. I need you with me, alive. You are all —”“Stop making it dramatic. I'm not dying. Going through the heat alone might be painful, but that didn't mean I'm dying.” I let out an exasperated sigh. “Let's do as I said. I don't need you to help me through my heat.”I turned to go, but he stopped me. He wrapped his hands around my waist and brought me closer to his chest. Leaning down, he took a sniff of m

ALEX I escorted him to have his mark removed. I didn't want him to do that and was tempted to tie him to my bed so he wouldn't do something like this, but I knew it was his choice. I marked him without his consent. It would only make him hate me more should I ask him not to have it taken out. I touched the mark he placed on me, and a small smile appeared on my lips. Even if I was the only one bearing the mark, I was happy. Having his mark on me meant he liked me enough to state his position in my life. If only I could wear it the way I wanted without being asked about it by Marcus, who would undoubtedly catch his scent. “Isn't it time for you to go home?” Aithan asked as he lazily stretched in bed. His heat period ended yesterday, but he wanted to stay in this cabin until my scent had left his body. He had to lie to Viktor about his location, claiming he went on a trip with Michelle. I had to call that annoying woman to ask her help to cover us up. The prize? I had a meal with he

I froze when I saw the picture. Someone took it this morning, from an angle that captured me kissing Aithan before I left him at the train station. Whoever took the pictures knew what they were doing. There was even a video of me speaking with Aithan before I kissed his forehead. They only caught the scene, not the words we spoke because of the distance. "When did he get this?” I glanced up, frowning. I couldn't even tell which emotions were the right ones to use at the moment. “A few minutes ago. I was there with him when the message arrived, so I got it on my phone while helping him transfer some files to his computer.” He pocketed his phone and looked at me with a curious look on his face. “What's happening, Alex? Is that —”“Yes, he's the one.” I nodded, letting out a sigh. Since it was already out, I couldn't possibly keep it from him anymore. It wasn't as if doing that would help me at all. “Your mate? That was the reason you kept using the wrong pronouns when —”“It was the

“What?”“What if I'm weak because of the emotions Aithan invoked in me? I can't always be strong, can I?” I drew some steps towards his desk. “You might not believe in love now, but you once loved my mom, didn't you?”He paused, glaring at me like I had made the greatest mistake of involving my mother in the conversation. “Don't you dare talk about her with that same mouth you kissed that fucking slut with!”“He's not a fucking slut!” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Aithan is a pure man. You are just blinded by your hatred for him, and the intense desire to get rid of him, just for your so-called revenge.”"Shut the fuck up!" Marcus's face turned beet red with rage, and he slammed his fists on the desk. “How dare you defend him! You're my son, and you'll do as I say. You'll stay away from that…that…abomination!” He fumed, his eyes turning to a deep golden to show his fury. “Ever since he came into your life, you have been acting like a fucking moron!”“Because I love him. Love makes every

AITHAN Pink drove me back to the estate. He didn't ask me what I was doing at the train station when I begged him to pick me up after a supposed holiday with Michelle. I knew he wanted to ask about it, but couldn't bring himself to do that.“What do you want to ask about?” I asked when he packed the car into the only space in our outdoor garage. "You can ask me anything you wish to know instead of looking at me like that." “I…” He gulped, staring hard at his steering wheel before he focused on me. “Where were you? Viktor said you went on a trip with Miss Michelle, but I saw her three days ago, shopping.”All the blood drained from my face when I heard his words. Gulping, I pinched the bridge of my nose before I asked in a tiny voice, “Did you tell Viktor about it?”“Never.” He shook his head. “I called to confirm with you, but your phone wasn't reachable, so I decided to wait for you to return so I can ask about it.”“Oh.” I exhaled in relief. Knowing Viktor wasn't notified was the

“Well… That's the right thing to do.” Pink smiled at me. “Rest assured, I will keep your secret. I will take it to my grave.”“Thanks, man.” I nodded at him before I removed the seatbelt and got out of the car. Pink followed me shortly and headed up to the main house with me. “Do you need my aid with anything?” He asked before I could open the door and step in. I paused and turned to him. “Huh?”“Do you have any task for me to do today? Alpha Viktor gave me an off today. He said I deserved to rest after working for a week in your absence, so I —”“No, I don't need your help with anything.” I waved him off. “Since he asked you to take a day off, do that. You deserve it.” I smiled at him. “Have a nice day. Do whatever you want, you can even visit the bar if you like,” I added with a wink, knowing he could tell what I meant by that. “I will.”“You better. Just go lose some steam.” I turned and headed into the house, gently closing the door behind me. “I'm baackkkkkkkkk!” I yelled in

I gulped, still thinking of a way to salvage the issue. “It's… I…”“Why him? You have always claimed you hate him. Was that all a lie? Why will you even do that?" He looked confused. "I always felt something like this only happens in movies. Who would have guessed a son of mine would do that?!”Viktor was beyond pissed at me. He didn't even try to control his anger. He just let it out, so I would know how he felt. “I only sought him out for his help,” I explained, looking straight into his eyes. “You have to believe me. It wasn't intentional. I —”“Did he force you?” Viktor got up from the loveseat, with his eyes blazing in fury. “Did he make you do it against your will? Did he kidnap you?” I so badly wanted to nod, to lay all the blame on Alex, to claim he seduced me and held me against my will, then videoed it all just so he could blackmail me. Viktor would believe that. It wasn't the first time something like this had happened to me. He would think I was the victim. His hatred fo

“No, I don't!” He lifted me from the bed before I could say another word and walked straight to the other door opposite the one I stepped in. “What are you doing?!” I panicked when he opened the door and I realized we were in his bathroom. “Getting her scent off you." He carried me to the bath and placed me on it, switching the tap on. “You are mine, Aithan. I don't want you to smell like other bloody people. I hate it. It makes me want to rub it off you." Despite the tingle in my stomach at how possessive he sounded, I couldn't help but lament, “And that's why you want to soak me up?” “Just bear with it. I don't want to perceive her scent on you. It's irritating.” He glared hard at my neck, his face pulled up in a dark scowl. "Why did you let her come close to you?" "It's not that strange, is it? She's family and —" He cursed under his breath, cutting my words short.“Don't go after her,” I warned, narrowing my eyes at him. “Why? Are you taking her sides now?”I rolled my eyes
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Why do you have her scent?
I walked down the hallway to Alex's room. Sophia would have escorted me, but she got a call from her brother and had to speak to him. I left her alone to do that after I saw her expression. She didn't seem that thrilled to talk with him.I knocked on the door but didn't get any response. Trying it for the second time, I pushed it open and stepped in. The first thing that assaulted my senses was his scent. It enveloped the room, instantly wrapping me up in warmth. I closed my eyes and inhaled the smell I liked the most in the entire world. It was almost like the time when I rolled on the bed after spending time with him in his cabin, inhaling his sweet scent. I opened my eyes to look around, seeking the owner of the room, but he was nowhere to be found. Letting out a sigh, I let my gaze run around the room, taking the furniture, the masculine decor and the arrangement, in. The bed, a sturdy oak frame with a plush grey duvet, perched against one wall, flanked by two nightstands with
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Will you reek of me?
He didn't disturb me anymore. The promise of a reward was enough to keep him in his room for the rest of the hour. I looked through the photo album with Sophia, laughing at how cute Alex was. Who would have thought someone like him had such a soft side? I realized, though, that the cute pictures stopped when he got older. I didn't need to calculate to know it was around the time our mothers died. Obviously, his mother was the one taking those pictures of him. When she died, Marcus stopped it. He started training his son to take over from him in his death. I noticed how sad and serious the pictures after the cute ones were. Alex only smiled in three of the pictures, and they looked forced. His eyes lost that sparkle they had when his mother was still alive. Whatever happened to him was enough to rub him of his innocence, turning him into the man he was.“Alex changed after he met you,” Sophia whispered, causing me to look up at her. I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot she was

AITHANWho knew women could be so strong and energetic? I didn't know, though, but it all changed when I met Sophia De Luca. She looked harmless with those soft brown eyes and auburn hair that she had up in twin ponytails. I watched her walk around; the hair bouncing with each step she took, intrigued. I'd never had a sister before, and the brother I had was almost non-existent. To me, I was an only child, and that never bothered me until I met Sophia. She was so fun to be with that she made me imagine how my life would have been if I had grown up with her. Would it have been the best?“Have you seen our photo album??!” she asked, rather excitedly. From the door, she led me to the house and straight to her room. She wasn't shy about having a man in her bedroom, and I realized it had to do with my relationship with her stepbrother. She knew I was taken and wouldn't have any thoughts about her. Her room was as feminine as she looked, with her cute pink sundress and ribbon she used in
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption A fangirl
ALEX I felt like the only man in the entire world. Having my Aithan with me was the best feeling, like the first drop of water after a long winter. For the first time, I felt like I had found my meaning, the place I belong, where I was supposed to be.I got down from the car and walked around it to open the door for my mate. Aithan humoured me by staying put, waiting for me to do so. He smiled when I opened the door. “We are here.” I offered my hand to him, and he took it.He let me help him out of the car. I closed the door behind him and took his hand in mine, turning to look at the house. As if on cue, all the men gathered in front of the house, in two straight lines, leaving a space between them, enough for two people to walk through. Puzzled, I watched them, waiting to know what was going on. It was the first time I had seen something like this with the men. Max stepped out of the house and walked toward us, smiling. “Welcome home, alpha.” He bowed to me when he was a few pa

AITHAN “What the hell are you talking about?!” Viktor yelled, his veins popping out. His eyes looked like they would jut out from their sockets should he add more strain to them. “I'm leaving with Alex.” While he was seething, I was calm. I had already decided on this. Alex killed his father, to save me. Not everyone would do that. If he didn't love me, he wouldn't have harmed his blood just because he tried to kill me. It was time to break free from Viktor's hold. I'm no longer a kid who hides behind his father. I could tell it was near, the time to start a new life and a family. “You don't know what you are saying.” He drew close. “Did you, by chance, hit your head on anything? Is that why you aren't making any sense?” He placed his right hand on my forehead, to feel my temperature. “It's not hot. You are okay. So, why are you talking like a kid who lost his mind?!”“I didn't.” I shook my head and sat up on the bed. “I know what I'm talking about, Viktor. It's time to let go of
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Not anymore
Aithan woke up two weeks later. I had lost hope of ever seeing his pretty blue eyes, of ever seeing them smile when he finally opened it. The two weeks I spent by his bedside were the worst days I ever had. My heart felt like it was slowly dying each day that passed. His mark on my neck felt hot like it was being melted in a cauldron heated several times. I thought the worst. I thought the pain was because my mate was leaving, slowly losing grasp of the world. Sophie and Max stayed by my side, rendering their support the best they could while keeping the house running in my absence. I was too worried about my mate to care about the family and anything else. Viktor located me a few days ago, but I refused to let him see his son. It wasn't easy to do that. Had it not been for our location, there would have been a bloody fight between us. He was the father, after all. It wasn't like I cared. I didn't trust him enough to let him see my Aithan in this state. He might take him from me,
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption You stink
I changed my mind on my way home. Instead of taking Aithan to the house like I planned to do, I drove him to the hospital instead. I needed to be careful with him, to avoid regretting my decision just because I wanted to hug him to myself all day. I had to drive him to the only hospital owned by the werewolves, the one with werewolf staffs instead of humans. To keep the humans out, the hospital always charged an obnoxious amount whenever they got human patients, so they could drive them out. Since the time they built it, they had admitted no human to it. I was right to take Aithan to the hospital, though. The doctors confirmed the poison would have slowly killed my lover if I didn't bring him over. Marcus knew it was lethal. He recognized how dangerous it would be to Aithan, and how it wouldn't affect me. It was clear he wanted to kill him and keep me alive, so I could return to the heartless killing machine I was for him.For a week, Aithan remained unconscious. I'd never been as w

I froze, and so did Aithan. I wasn't expecting to hear something like this. With Marcus, it was always one surprise after the other, but never in my wildest imagination did I think this would be something he would say. “You don't know, right?” He smiled, pleased he had gotten my attention. “I once thought you guys might be siblings, you know? Seeing how your mother didn't think twice about opening her legs for —”“That's a lie.” I shook my head, trying to deny everything I heard. “It can't be true. My mum never cheated on you. I knew it!”He scoffed. “You do?” “My father never cheated on my mum,” Aithan uttered. “Viktor always spoke about how they were meant for each other.”“Just like you and my son?” He chuckled. “It's a pity Alex believes the same.” He shook his head, looking at me with a mischievous smile, as if he knew a secret I didn't, one that would shatter my life if let out. “What do you mean?”“Are you acting like you don't know what I'm talking about?” He strode over to
