{ Liam }
What the fuck just happened?Like, seriously. I stopped doing drugs two months ago, I should not be hallucinating or imagining things anymore.I follow my friends to sit back down at our table, but my mind is somewhere else because my whole world has been flipped upside down and, all of a sudden, I'm in love with a woman.I don't even remember her fucking name, but she's so damn gorgeous and imposing I still can’t believe the shit my wolf is telling me: she belongs to us. She's ours. Fated mate. Mine forever.Thirty seconds ago I didn't even believe in the existence of fated mates and now I have one?... but she's also still sitting with Theo, so is she really my fated mate?This shit is extremely confusing.She didn't show any kind of emotion, she just looked at me intensely for a couple of seconds and then her face went cold.Cold as fucking ice.Is she just an Ice Queen and a pro at hiding her emotions or am I hallucinating the whole thing and she’s not really my mate? I need to know so I can decide how to proceed."I'm going to the little boys' room," I say, the guys roll their eyes and continue the conversation as I get up and head to the bathrooms. Luckily, Ice Queen is following me with her blue eyes, so when I’m out of sight to everyone but her I raise my hand and summon her to come to me.I need answers and she’s the only one who has them.Ice Queen frowns and looks back to Theo with the sweetest, fakest smile ever, but I wait. Ten seconds later, she looks back at me, so I summon her once more.She takes an annoyed deep breath before saying something to Theo and getting up. I look her up and down as she walks towards me and I swear to God, my body starts to overheat. I’m going into overdrive. My palms are sweating and I don't know what to do except look at her.She's wearing a long flowy skirt and a modest blouse, but I somehow know that’s not her style. Or if it is, she should change it up because it doesn’t fit her."What the hell happened between us out th-?" Before I can even finish, Ice Queen puts her hand around my neck and pushes me against the wall to shut me up.I wasn't expecting that at all, so I crash against the wall like an idiot, just staring at her in shock. She's not very short, but she's still shorter than me. And up close her eyes look even bluer, if that's possible."Shut up. Follow me," she spits out and lets go of my neck before approaching the women's bathroom. She looks inside for a second and beckons me inside. I follow her into an empty stall."Isn't it a little early to fuck in a bathroom? I'm not an easy guy," I joke, trying to be funny... but she doesn't appreciate my humor. She gives me the coldest look ever. Okay, we have to get serious again, "Did you feel that shit out there? Is your wolf telling you the same thing mine is telling me? That we’re fated mates?”"No," she quickly answers, but I just scoff because I know she's full of shit, "Okay, yes. But listen... it doesn't really matter.""Huh?”“It. Doesn’t. Matter,” she repeats, slower this time. She’s bitchy.“What do you mean? Of course it does. This is basically THE most important thing for our entire species."She closes her eyes in stress for a few seconds, giving me time to admire her beautiful, delicate face.Her skin looks like porcelain, it’s extremely smooth and pale. She needs to go out and get some sun, but that doesn't change how gorgeous she is."Please, don't make a big deal out of this," she begs with a tiny voice and soft eyes that probably work on a lot of men because, damn, she’s pretty, "I have a good thing going with Theo and I don’t want to end it. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but... maybe we can come back to this in a couple of years?"I laugh in disbelief and shake my head.“Are you serious?” I ask, she nods as if she’s not being absolutely ridiculous, “Don't you understand how important this is? We're meant to be together for the greater good or something. We're in love... I mean, maybe not right now, but we will be.""Yes, but…” she takes a deep breath, “Can’t we just put a pause on it and come back to it later? In about three years, give or take? I have a plan and you're not a part of it.”"Well, change it,” I frown and cross my arms, “Make room for me.""No. I'm sorry, but I can't," she insists, putting a hand on my chest as if she wants to push me away but then her eyes follow her hand and she gives me a slow look, "Although... If it's okay with you, we could... you know, check if having a bond makes sex better.""What?" I ask, very offended even though all the blood in my body starts to travel down with that offering, "If you're willing to fuck me anyway, then just leave Theo and let’s fuck. Who the fuck cares about him? He's the most boring guy ever.”"I don't care. I have to be with him," she says in a voice that leaves no room for refusals, then shrugs and takes her hand away, "So if you don't want to fuck, then we should pretend we don't care about each other, okay? I promise, in three years I'll give you a chance.""But why three?" I ask in a whiny tone and realize that I'm letting some random girl decide my future for me. I bring my hands to my face, "What's even your name?""Isabella," she spits out, offended, “Don’t fucking forget it.”"Right… well, Queen Isabella, this isn't your fucking kingdom. You don't get to decide shit," I growl, glaring at her. She continues to look unimpressed, "I'm your fated mate, I'm not going to let you boss me around. I'm not going to let you be in a relationship with my friend for three fucking years and just wait for you like a loser.""Then don't wait for me. You're the one talking about how important this is, so I thought I'd be nice and give you a chance, but if you don't want to, then don't," she shrugs and tries to push me to get to the door. But I don't budge.I'm not used to people not obeying me or acting as if they're superior to me. She doesn't know who I am, maybe that's why it's so easy for her to disregard me."Theo may be the future Alpha, but he's not the most powerful man in this pack," I let her know, "I'm the one who runs this pack, me and my father. We're probably richer than the Heidens. They’re in power just for the lame shit, we’re the ones handling what’s important.""Good for you, but you’re still not the Alpha and you never will be,” She says with a shrug. That fucking stings, I have to look away to hide it, "My father is Aldo Mihdi, I own half this fucking pack too. I don't give a shit about money, I just want social status and he has all of it. I want to be his Luna. So... I'm sorry, I guess. It's a shame we're not compatible."She pushes me again, but this time I do let her move me. I don’t want to keep humiliating myself for nothing, she’s obviously heartless.How can she even say we’re not compatible, though? We're literally created to be together… but if she doesn’t give a shit, I won’t either.I walk back to my table after a while, trying not to look at Isabella and Theo again.Theo hasn't seriously dated anyone in years, so why now? And why her? It's so fucking annoying how he always gets everything, I can’t stand it. He must have some kind of pact with the devil."I have to go," I say when I realize my wolf is starting to lose his shit. I get up abruptly and walk out of the restaurant without waiting for a response from my friends.I drive straight to the cabin and as soon as I get off the car, I let my wolf out so he can run and hunt for a few hours. He needs to deal with what just happened in a healthy way, without getting me in trouble as he likes to do.I let him take control for as long as he wants, I only get back to myself when I hear my father yell my name several times. I follow his voice and when I find him, I shift back."Hey, boy, what's up?" he asks, sounding worried, "You've been in isolation for hours, what happened now?"I roll my eyes.My dad was a real piece of shit when I was younger. He was on drugs most of the time, he used to beat the fuck out of me, he made me start working for him on when I was twelve. He turned me into a murderer before I even had my first kiss and he damaged me in every way possible. He basically turned me into the shit show I am now… then my mother killed herself because she couldn't take it anymore and he just decided to change his ways.For about ten years now, my dad has been the most annoying bitch ever. He's loving to the extreme, he cares way too much about me and he’s always making sure I don't kill myself. Not that I've tried... much.Just a couple of times, nothing extreme."There's a whole new situation in my personal life," I start, but I know he won't leave me alone if I tell him what it's about, “I needed time to think.""Okay, well... it's been five hours since you've been here, it’s past midnight. I think that's enough thinking," he says, "Come on, you need some clothes. And we should go home, maybe watch a movie?""I guess," I mumble, "Sure."We go into the cabin to get me some clothes, but there’s someone here. It’s a young guy, he’s chained and beaten up."Who’s this?" I ask my father."Some kid who thought he could steal from us," he says and shakes his head in disappointment. He walks to the clothes box and pulls out some pants for me, "I'm going to leave him here overnight to teach him a lesson. Come back tomorrow morning. If he's alive, he's free to go.""Lucky boy," I say. My father is rarely kind enough to let someone leave after they've been in the cabin, "Let’s go then, what movie are we watching?""It's a romantic one," he says as we walk to my car, I grunt, "Come on, you know those are my favorite.""Alright," I say and force myself to stop thinking about Ice Queen.Who cares about such a cold, uncaring woman anyway? I don't.She sucks.I spend the rest of my Friday night as usual: with my dad, watching a romance movie because they’re his favorite and I don’t hate them as much as I pretend to.Once the movie is over, I go to bed and I try my hardest to shut my brain and get some rest but, of course, I don't sleep for shit. My insomnia is nothing new, but this time it's not the memories of the past that keep me awake but the possibilities of the future. My wolf is still thinking about Isabella, as if those five hours I gave him weren't enough.However, I have to admit I understand his excitement. We have a gorgeous mate, it’s almost unreal how blessed we are because we absolutely do not deserve it. Isabella is the most beautiful woman I've seen in my whole fucking life. I bet we'd make the most beautiful babies... in three years, I guess. It's extremely annoying that she thinks she can make me wait all she wants and have her say in my life, but after tossing and turning and thinking about the subject all night, I c
{ Isabella }"He doesn’t want me to tell everyone we’re dating. He wants to keep it on the down low for a while," I complain to my mother as we have breakfast at the country club. It's a beautiful day today, but I feel awful, "He doesn't want people to think he'll be distracted from his duties because of a woman. And I understand that, but it's also annoying. He’s very... uninvolved.""Huh? How?" She asks, putting down her tea to give me one of her looks full of motherly disapproval. "I'm used to dating guys who would break their necks if I asked them to. Guys who see me as a prize and treat me like they're afraid of screwing up and losing me," I begin, crossing my arms. My mother nods, encouraging me to keep going, "Theo doesn't. Not at all.""Well… to be completely fair, dear, he's a very powerful man and he’s aware of that, his ego must be huge and with good reason. He probably sees you as his equal if not beneath him. He's not afraid to lose you because he knows he could easily d
We wait until Liam, Rahul, Marco and their two unknown girls are given a high-top table before we start walking to them.The girls are somewhat attractive, but neither of them are near Liam, so I don’t pay them any mind. As soon as we’re close, Liam's gaze lifts directly to me as if he can feel me from afar. My heart explodes and my wolf gets overly excited when I find his pretty brown eyes, but I manage to stay cool and collected as we reach the table."Hey, boys! Long time no see,” Layla says, letting go of my arm to walk closer to Rahul, "You've already met my friend Isabella, right?""Hi, Lay," Rahul replies, receiving Layla's hug and then looking at me. Liam and the girls stay silent, "It's good to see you again, Isabella.""Theo will be jealous when he finds out we got to spend some time with you tonight," Marco comments with a playful tone as he greets me with a kiss on the cheek. Rahul does the same once he finishes hugging Layla. Liam stays still, "Are you girls here on you
Liam suddenly pulls away from me, but I can't complain because when I look over my shoulder, I see he's unbuttoning his pants to give me exactly what I want.If this were Theo or any other man, I would never let this happen, not in a million years. But this is Liam.I don't have to try, I don’t have to do anything to get him. Fate made him just for me. Whether he wants to or not, this man is going to end up married to me at some point, so I don't have to fake my way into marriage like I’m doing with Theo. With Liam, I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not, I can just be myself. Once Liam is ready, he comes back to me and pulls my panties down, letting them fall to the floor. I move my leg to be free from the prison of my panties, I spread my legs wide and I arch my back for Liam. "Such a good girl," he murmurs and two seconds later I feel the warm tip of his dick at my entrance. Instead of just penetrating me, Liam teases me for a little but until I moan and move my hips, try
I walk to my house with a silly smile on my face and more feelings than I've ever felt before. Liam might be an asshole, but he sure can fu—"Hi, baby," my father says as soon as I open the door, making me gasp in fear. He’s taking off his jacket and shoes, meaning he just got home too. “Hi…”"Where were you? And what are you wearing?" He scowls and crosses his arms as he looks me up and down. I immediately get smaller and I try to pull down my dress. I always feel like a little girl under his eyes, that's nothing new. My father has never been able to conceptualize that I matured past the age of, I don't know, twelve. "I went out with my friends, Daddy," I reply. Normally, I would greet him with a kiss on the cheek, but I definitely won't do that when I just had sex, "We went out to dinner and then we went dancing. I smell like sweat, so I'm going to go take a bath before bed.""Hmm, okay. And do me a favor… tomorrow, I want you to go shopping with your mom and buy yourself a whole
Only ten minutes later, Liam sends me a text saying he's outside, so I get out of the bathroom and put on the first thing I can find before heading downstairs to make sure my parents aren't around. Fortunately the coast is clear, so I go outside and let Liam in. I take his hand and lead him to my room quickly, locking the door behind us. "What's wrong?" he asks when we're safe, his scent is thick with worry and he’s looking me up and down as if he wants to make sure I'm okay, "Something happened?" I really need to hug him and breathe him in, so I just do that. Liam is still confused, but he responds to my hug and lifts his hand to comb my wet hair back as I bury my nose in his neck and take a deep breath. He smells warmer than usual. "Ugh... you smell like Theo," he comments, filling me with horror. Fuck, he has a good nose, "Did you see him today? Did he do anything to you? Because I'll kill him for you, no questions asked. I've been looking for excuses to kill him for years."Th
Isabella melts against my kiss and I immediately feel all the stress melting out of my body. This kiss feels like going through that crazy mix of emotions has been worth it.Her lips taste delicious, like red wine and something sweet. She’s just so…"Your phone," Isabella says, pulling away from my lips. I frown, not knowing what she's referring to, but then realize my cell phone is ringing.I let out a sound of annoyance and pull it out. It's my father. There's a 50-50 chance it's something extremely stupid to something extremely important and there's no in-between."I have to take it," I say to Isabella, she nods, "Hey, Dad... what's up?""I just walked into your room and you're not here, where did you go all of a sudden?" He asks, sounding concerned, "Everything okay?""Do you need me for anything?""No, I just want to know where are you. You know I worry about...""Don't, I'm fine. I don't know what time I'll be back, so don't bother me again unless it's a work emergency or if yo
I arrive at my friend Isaim's house in the evening but I have to get mentally prepared before entering. I have to remind my wolf that we have to stay in control of ourselves. I know what the main topic will be and I know I can very explosive, but this time I have to try my best control myself and keep everything inside. One of his employees opens the door for me and leads me to his basement, where all my friends are already waiting for me, including Theo."Miss Diva finally arrived," Rahul murmurs when he sees me, getting up to walking from the bar to the poker table where everyone else is."I was working… you wouldn't understand," I spit towards him, well aware that this is a sensitive subject. His face immediately hardens, but I just laugh. Then I approach Theo, pretending I'm going to kiss him, "Hi, love.""Don't come near me," he orders, not flinching one bit. As always, he’s a perfect fucking robot. I wonder how he'd react if he knew we've been fucking the same girl... although,
