The Alpha's Secret Daughter 123 - Explanations ||
LEON:Liam is having a hard time opening up about everything, but Seth and I are patiently waiting."At first, I was a little upset to have to share, but ultimately, I remembered what Theo had said. He told me that I would be better suited to help her with this quest since you were her mate," he says, taking a deep breath."So you chose to listen to some Theo guy over the Goddess's gift to you?" Seth quirks back.Oh no."Yeah," Liam says, surprising me.I was getting ready for a brawl, but Liam admitted defeat at this point."I don't get it. Why didn't you just talk to her or me or anyone before you made such a dumbass choice? You made Lucy cry," I say, harsher than I meant to.I can feel Seth getting tense beside me as he hears what I say."I guess I had accepted that Lucy and I weren't mates after I had originally thought we were. I was upset she was your mate when I found out, but I got over it and accepted the task that Theo had given me. Now she hates me," Liam says, tugging at h

LUCY:I watched with great anticipation as my mark worked through their system.They were nearly 100% healed.I had to hold back my tears when I recognized they were reconnecting with their wolves.A knock draws all of our attention to the door. All of the girls quickly pull up the blankets from the bed to cover themselves, shrinking under them.I send them encouraging emotions, strength, and safety, and I feel content with their reactions as they relax."It's just my mate—the future Alpha of the pack. You saw in the memory that he is good." I smiled while trying to reassure them they were safe while opening the door.It definitely was my mate, but not the one I was expecting. His marshmallow scent wraps around me quickly."His hair has grown a lot since that memory," Amelia giggles."What memory?" Liam asks, looking at me strangely."It's nothing. Uh. This is Amelia, Sophia, and Acelynn," I smile, pointing at each of them as I say their name.I'm feeling so uncomfortable that I could

LIAM:She's agreed to hear me out but won't even look in my direction. We're sitting, waiting for food, in awkward silence.'She is just ignoring me now,' I link to Leon.He chuckles through the link before responding.'What do you mean? Where are you?' he asks, with a smile in his voice.Lucy glances at me and quickly turns away.'I took her to the burger place by the hospital. I thought if I showed her I paid attention to her, maybe she would open up to me,' I explain to Leon.He starts laughing full-on through the link again.'You took our mate to a public place to have a private conversation? When did you get so bad at this?' Leon says through his chuckles.Shit. Okay, he has a point. I closed our link because I could tell he wanted to start bantering with me, but I needed to focus on Lucy.I get up, startling Lucy for some reason."I'll be right back; please don't leave," I say.She looks at me and nods before looking away again."Do you have anything you could put the burgers in

LIAM:I waste no time going into my unprepared speech."There's not really any excuse I can come up with to justify what I did, so I'm not going to waste too much time trying to sound like I can make it right," I start.'That wasn't the best approach,' Bo says.She lifts an eyebrow at me while finishing her bite but doesn't say anything."What I mean by that is I spoke without thinking clearly. I didn't mean what I said," I say, rubbing my hands together.I'm so nervous that I've lost my appetite and my palms are sweaty."You know, I thought I was going to be the one who had a hard time being a good mate, but I think somehow you and Leon ended up being worse," she starts laughing.Is she seriously making a joke right now?"Lucy, I'm being serious!" I'm irritated as hell by this.She tries to make a serious face before she starts laughing again."Why are you laughing?" I'm genuinely confused by this, but Bo starts to chuckle, too.Now I'm smiling, trying to bite back my laughter as she

LIAM:I swam in place, watching her swim on her back in circles for a while.She was softly singing, something I'd never heard before, but it was beautiful.I had no idea she could sing, but I suppose I didn't know much about her yet."Mom used to sing to me sometimes. Always the same few songs," she comments, now opening her eyes.I swim over to her and grab her, pulling her body into the water.I was struggling to see her presented so openly to me, but she only made matters worse when she wrapped her legs around me.Goddess, she smells so good. "You brought me here to say sorry?" she asks, finally talking about what I've been trying to talk about.She seems almost intoxicated. I'm trying to balance between what I want and the right thing to do."Yes. I also wanted to share this place with you," I say honestly.It was all I thought about the night after I made my mistake. My mom had made the perfect suggestion, but I was too busy in my head to see it.Lucy wouldn't usually be this i
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-10The Alpha's Secret Daughter 128 - Not Backing Down
LUCY:Just like at the Silver Lake, I felt myself saying my truths without wanting to.I was wrapped up in my mind as we ran back to the grounds.'I could feel it too, Lucy,' Nia finally spoke up.I had been so focused on my thoughts that she startled me in my head.'It feels connected to the lake, right?' I ask her.'I wasn't in your dream when that happened to you, but from what you're thinking, it sounds like it has to be,' she says, confirming my suspicion.I didn't want to go behind Leander's back, but I needed answers. Something needs to start adding up for me before I lose my mind.'When will Trish be back?' I link Liam, who seems so smitten now.I wanted to be more invested in our bond, but it wasn't easy. He went from hot to cold so quickly. I was still upset at what he said to me.A simple apology wasn't enough to erase the pain I felt in my heart that night.'I'm not sure. I would think she would be back by tomorrow at the latest,' Liam responds to my question.'Leon, what

Lucy:Leon grabs the sweater from Liam and puts it on me."Sometimes you just have to do it. She gets stuck in thought. She and Nia talk to each other more than any other werewolf I've met," Leon says after pulling the sweater over my head."Sorry," I comment—Leon's right.'We've had to make up for a lot of time,' Nia comments. She's right, too.My mind drifted to the years I had spent without being able to talk with Nia. She was nearly gone. She was always burrowing herself to deal with what was happening to me.So many things in my life I had suppressed in order to deal with the constant abuse and rape. There were many things I was now starting to realize about myself.Liam walks to the other side of the vehicle and gets in as Leon pushes me into the middle seat, leaving me trapped in the middle."Good thing you're so small. I don't think anyone else would fit in the middle seat like you do," Liam laughs.I look at Leon, who is smiling at me as we drive off.'Should we make bets on

LEON:Lucy was uncomfortable at every store we went to, and even though she didn't say as much, it was apparent.She clung to me the entire time.She didn't know her sizes very well and didn't like to ask for anything, so Liam ended up staying behind to grab things he thought she would like.We were both trying not to push anything nor did we want to embarrass her by asking personal questions. We already figured that if she hadn't been out to eat, she likely had little to no experience in a shopping mall or outlet.'You're going to love what I found at the last store,' Liam links me.We were still getting used to sharing a link with Lucy. We were able to separate the two, but I knew we would have to be careful to make sure we were linking the way we intended.'Oh yeah?' I ask him as Lucy clings to my arm.She was right. Everyone was staring at her—more than even I had expected, but no one had done or said anything disrespectful yet.Liam stayed at the last clothing store we were at w

The Alpha's Secret Daughter 181 - To Be Luna, or Not to Be
Lucy:"Her position is next to us!" Seth speaks up.He's protective in a way that's different from my other mates. He knows I'm insecure about my place amongst others.Or... at least I was. I'm not anymore.My mom knew I was going to have power that was bordering on unimaginable and most certainly unreasonable.No one needed the kind of power I had, yet here I am.She knew I would gain strength one day, so that I wouldn't be able to be so easily cracked. I was starting to understand how the Fae functioned and understood themselves with their magic.It was different. I wasn't the same, and I would never be the same again.I didn't want to be."Calm down, that wasn't what I was saying," Leander starts.The longer he takes to explain whatever's on his mind, the more the room feels like it's losing oxygen. I'm having a hard time controlling my feelings, sitting here waiting."I need you all to start considering what the pack's impression will be when Lucy has marked both the Alpha's of th

Lucy:"The stronger the magic within a person, the harder it was to control myself," Zeak admits.I watch as he sits down on the cot in the corner of the cell now.I hadn't felt my magic back then but I guess he could.I wanted a better answer but I guess it could be that simple."Rosie would do something. I'm not sure what it was exactly, but for a moment, I would see clarity. I started having her be there all of the time, and I saw clearly the more she was around. Kragen said she was an abomination and needed to be killed. I sold her instead," he admits."You're going to go back to your pack. Tell them you escaped somehow. I don't care what lies you have to come up with; it needs to be believable," I state.I feel Leon's grip around me tighten, and a growl elicits from each of my mates.'We didn't talk about this, Lucy. You can't make that decision without Dad,' Liam links me.He's right. I need to talk with Leander, but my mates will soon be taking over the pack, and we also need to
The Alpha's Secret Daughter 179 - The Gift
LEON:'Don't mess this up,' B warns me.Lucy's trust meant everything to me. B and I have been getting restless because she runs off on her own all the time.It had to stop now.I put my arm out, stopping Seth and Liam from proceeding toward Zeak's cell.'Just give her a minute first,' I suggest through our link.It was interesting how being marked with Lucy now gave us the ability to link with Seth, too.Neither of them responds, but they don't try to move forward either.We watch as Lucy approaches the cell and stops to face Zeak's.She stands there for several moments, not saying a word, and Zeak doesn't say anything either. My heart thunders in my chest.Simply knowing that she is in his presence and that he gets to look at her makes me sick to my stomach, but I push my feelings aside for the sake of Lucy's trust in us."When did you notice the change?" These were Lucy's first words, or rather, a question for Zeak.I can now hear sobbing coming from Zeak's cell. It doesn't sound l
The Alpha's Secret Daughter 178 - Trust
Lucy:Leon got the brunt end of the deal when it came to my affection.He had to see the way I flinched at any sudden touch or movement toward me.The way my mind wrapped up in anxiety the moment I started to let myself go, and the way my body revolted at any bit of love he tried to give me at first.While Seth had spent so much time showing me friendship and the slow burn of a connection only that type of relationship could provide, Leon had gone head-first into committing to me and showing me safety in love and intimacy.He never second-guessed me or our bond.He never judged or looked at me differently.He put work into helping me get comfortable enough to approach intimacy.Of course, he was upset.I didn't want it to be this way, either."Leon... please talk to me," I murmur, entering our bedroom alone.He looks over at me, clearly still angry, but looks at me anyway."It's hard for me to explain things when I'm not really sure of them myself," I start.I'm nervous about how he wi
The Alpha's Secret Daughter 177 - Bad News
Lucy:Leon snapped his bond shut, but I felt the anger seep through before he could."You don't understand. I had to," I rush out, trying to defend myself for some reason.Liam's grip on me tightens. "Why the hell would you do that?" Leon growls."Woah, Leon, chill. Let her explain," Seth remarks, looking from me to Leon.A knock comes at the front door, just in time. Saved by the bell, so to speak."We're not done having this conversation!" Leon hisses, pointing his finger at me.'He'll get over it,' Liam links me, likely to avoid pissing Leon off any further, but it doesn't make me feel any better."What crawled up your butt?" I hear Trish before she pushes past Leon and trots into the kitchen.She stops and looks around the room for a second."This doesn't look like the best time for bad news, but I've been waiting almost a week to tell you guys," she says, squinting one eye.Great.Leon's large presence comes from behind Trish. He's refusing to open his bond up with me."Well, spi

Lucy:Seth looks at me thoughtfully for a moment.The idea of how and why the pack is blessed seemed to have suddenly confused him as well."I never thought about that. I assumed it had to do with our strength and wealth. This pack has had minimal rogue attacks, has always done well financially, and hasn't suffered in many different ways that other packs have," Seth suggests.He's right, though. They have seemed to have good luck OR make the right choices."Hecate wiped the history for a good reason. She doesn't want anyone to know she's been looking over this pack. She gave the line of Alphas the ability to find their mates and their families' mates. You understand better than I do how much strength that gives a pack alone," I say, tapping my toes on the ground excitedly as we piece together the mystery that's been driving me mad."Wait. Hecate gave them that gift? The Moon Goddess grants the Alpha lineage their special strength," Seth argues, his voice slightly irritated at me for gi
The Alpha's Secret Daughter 175 - Blessed
Lucy:The next several days were spent doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and exploring our connection and dynamic.The more intimate I was with my mates, the more the magic settled and relieved the pain of what I had experienced.We knew that once this time came to an end, things wouldn't be the same. So many variables were hanging in the balance, weighing heavily on our shoulders.My mates were still sleeping, but the stress of it all made me restless.I zip into my Fae form and zoom into the study down the hall, ensuring that my mates stay resting in bed.This would likely be the last time for a while that they get to rest that peacefully.'You're getting good at that. It makes me dizzy when you do it, though,' Nia whines.'It makes me dizzy still, too,' I sigh.Sitting at the desk, Liam had picked out for me, I rummaged through the drawers, finding a paper and pen to jot down my list of things to do.1. Visit Savina and ZeakThere was nothing similar between their situations. I kn

Lucy:Liam and I didn't get nearly the rest that the other two had, but I don't think either of us minded.We lost track of time and count after I decided to put Seth and Leon to sleep for the night.There was no sense in all of us being awake and marking Liam had turned something on in me I couldn't deny and needed to explore.He didn't complain.I had to mark Liam twice to get the rest of my magic from him. Yet another thing neither of us was bothered by.That time was more than pleasant. Liam had awakened my soul in a way I didn't know was possible.It created a hunger for the remainder of my magic, and for the last mark, I needed to bear.Just like Nadia had said, it just took a little push from Liam to get me started.Liam and I had maybe a few hours of sleep before getting up, showering, and sharing another tub of ice cream while watching a movie and waiting for my other mates to wake up from their forced slumber.I was excited to be this way with Leon. He was my patient mate—the
The Alpha's Secret Daughter 173 - Good Morning
Leon:The moment Lucy relaxed, I left the bathroom. I didn't feel uncomfortable being there; I just knew they needed to seal their bond.It was the one connection Lucy had that she hadn't gained confidence in.I found Seth eating some of the leftovers from Jason's buffet."She ate?" he asks, not looking back to even see who had entered the room.We have all become very intuned with each other over the last several days."We're on the up," I say, piling food onto my plate."What research were you doing in the library with Lucy?" Seth asks, not looking up from his plate.I hadn't realized he had noticed. He was always far more observant than anyone gave him credit for."Other supernatural beings. Lucy thinks Rosie is a siren." I knew Lucy wouldn't mind me sharing the information.She only wanted to do it privately with me because she knew I took those studies seriously, and it would go by faster and smoother without too many people asking questions.I hear Seth's fork clinking against th
