Garrett looked into Lily's blushing face with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He couldn't resist teasing her. She was so easy to get riled up. Even though she had shown immense bravery earlier, now, however, she seemed nervous, adding to her already interesting nature as a she-wolf. 'Stop teasing her!' Berric, his wolf, scolded him. 'You know that she is inexperienced. You don't want to chase her off.' 'Why? Chasing wouldn't be too bad. She looks so cute when she is flustered,' Garrett said. "Didn't you say you wanted to get used to me? Think of this as a test. Were you lying before?" Garrett's voice was husky as he spoke. Lily was fully aware of the playful game they were playing and the need to maintain appearances for the paparazzi. They had to convincingly portray themselves as a real couple. So, Lily had to look as if she was enjoying his affection. Lily understood his teasing and recognized his attempts to take advantage of the situation. "I am not a liar," she resp
In the morning, a beautiful lavender sweater dress had been hanging from Lily. She was going to meet her future father-in-law properly. The first time she met him was during the rejection ceremony where she didn't necessarily act properly. 'It doesn't matter. He was a complete ass,' Dina growled. 'Him and your father.' 'Well, if he hadn't agreed to the rejection ceremony, we would've been with a cheating mate,' Lily responded. 'Good point. Still, he's an ass,' Dina agreed. Lily couldn't help but be nervous. Her hands were actually sweaty. Garrett could smell her nervousness and looped his arm around Lily bringing her out of her thoughts. "There's nothing for you to worry about," he said confidently. "Who said I was worrying?" Lily said in a snarky manner which caused Garrett to chuckle and pulled her in closer to nuzzle the side of her neck causing her to blush. "Stop it. You're going to get me flustered." After getting out of the car, Lily looked at the carved black
The man, feeling the intensity of Lily's labored breathing, removed his hand from her mouth. Lily, in desperate need of air, took a sharp inhale to replenish her starved lungs. Confusion and fear filled her eyes as she mustered the strength to confront the stranger before her. With a trembling voice, she finally spoke, "Who do you think you are to grab me like this? Who are you?" Lily had only been aware of Matthew and Garrett as the sons of Alpha Jack. Could there be another child of the alpha? Was this person before her the son of Garrett? Her mind raced with questions. 'Give me control Lily. I'll put this insolent pup in his place!' Dina growled. Daniel let out a lustful laugh. His voice dripped with arrogance as he uttered, "Are you really pretending not to know who I am? You must be a very experienced mistress to know how to rile males up!" "I am not a mistress!" Lily snapped which only caused Daniel to laugh even more. "I am Daniel, the sole grandson of Alpha Ja
Garrett said nothing as he stared at his nephew with a blank expression. Alpha Jack, on the other hand, exuded the anger that Garrett was feeling. "You said that she seduced you?" Alpha Jack's voice boomed with anger, his words spaced out for emphasis. The intensity of his gaze bore into Daniel, causing a shiver to run down the young man's spine. Doubt gnawed at Daniel's mind. Had he misjudged the young woman? However, he knew he couldn't backtrack on his lies now. "Yes, she seduced me!" Daniel responded, his voice laced with fake indignation. "She wasn't content with being a maid. She sought to use her beauty to entice me into mating with her, dreaming of marrying into a wealthy pack!" He spun a tale of deceit, weaving a narrative that painted Lily as an ambitious opportunist. Lily's eyes fluttered open, her body weak and devoid of strength. She wanted to tell them that Daniel was lying to save his drunk ass, but her voice failed her. 'Has he no shame? We wouldn't dare wan
"Unhand my son!" Bethany's voice echoed through the room, laced with a mix of fury and concern. Garrett, her older brother, glanced up at her, his eyes filled with anger. He snarled, his grip on Daniel loosening as the younger man began to sob uncontrollably. Garrett wiped the blood from his hands on his pants, a tense silence settling between the siblings. "Is this what you called me here to see, Father?" Bethany snapped, her anger simmering beneath her words. "To witness the moment Garrett finally loses his mind? Don't you understand that this is a strike against the Moon Stone Pack? Are you trying to start a war?" Garrett's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. "Your son started this, not me," he retorted, his voice dripping with bitterness. Daniel, tears streaming down his bruised face, wiped away the blood from his broken nose and finally spoke up. "She was just an omega," he repeated, his words tinged with regret. "How was I supposed to know that she was his future mate
"Are you all right?" Garrett asked, his voice filled with concern as he helped Lily up. "Why did you attempt to get out of the bed on your own? Are you trying to making your injuries worse?" His tone held a hint of admonishment, reflecting his worry for her well-being. Lily, determined to assert her independence, waved her hand dismissively. "I'm fine. Really, I am," she replied. She didn't want to be seen as fragile or helpless; she wanted to prove her strength. After last night, Lily didn't want to seem fragile ever again. "You're a stubborn she-wolf, you know that? You don't have to prove anything to me," Garrett responded as he helped her to her feet. Raising her head to meet Garrett's gaze, Lily's breath caught in her throat. She was taken aback by his appearance—completely naked, droplets of water cascading down his sculpted physique. Her cheeks flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and attraction. "Oh!" she gasped, instinctively covering her eyes. "Why are you nake
Garrett looked at her worried and uneasy expression, feeling heartbroken. How could she think such a thing of her? Garrett knew what type of woman she was when he first met her. He knew she wouldn't betray him. He cupped her chin gently and said softly, "I believe you. I know you're not that kind of person." Hearing this, Lily's heart settled down in an instant. The one sentence he said, amounts to millions of sweet words, which warmed her heart and gave her security. Lily leaned forward to kiss him on his cheek. Not wanting to be outdid, Garrett swiftly kissed her on the lips. Nothing too forceful but it still left her breathless. "What about Daniel? What are you going to do to him?" Lily asked. "Don't worry, he will be punished for what he did," Garrett promised. "No, don't make a big deal of it. After all, you are still a family. And I know your relationship with your sister is strained. I don't want you going to war over me. If you do something to your nephew, your
Daniel fell unconscious, consumed by the excruciating pain coursing through his body. In stark contrast, Garrett paid no heed to his nephew's suffering. With a nonchalant gesture, he wiped his bloodstained hands clean using a towel offered to him by Adam. "Take care of his wounds," Garrett instructed Adam, his voice devoid of sympathy. "Ensure he receives painkillers and food before sending him back to his parents. Maybe this experience will teach him a lesson about causing harm to women." Adam was taken aback by Garrett's callous behavior. It had been a long time since he had seen his friend so angry. The last time was years ago when a cruise ship had exploded. Despite his anger, Garrett managed to restrain himself, surprising Adam. He contemplated intervening to prevent Garrett from harming his own nephew, but there was no need. Garrett had learned restraint even if it was minor. Silently, Adam picked up the unconscious Daniel and started to walk away. But just as he was abou
