Liam’s POV
Rage was restless, pacing around in my head. ” Could you cease with your actions, I already have a lot going on currently, I do not need a headache adding to it.” I scold my wolf.
” Go check on our mate, she is not okay. I can feel her; I do not like how I feel,” Rage mumbles,
” What is wrong Rage, is she alright?”
” I feel her, and she is not fine,” my wolf whimpers.
Quickly I ran out of my office toward my room, whatever happened to my mate had deeply affected my wolf,
The moment I entered the room, it was dark with all the lights off and the curtains closed. Her scent was all over the place indicating she was here,
I searched for her until my eyes landed on a small bundle lying on the bed, she was crouched on the mattress. One could miss her if you do not look properly.
I moved toward the bed, and as I got closer, I heard her sobs, she was crying!
” Hey Macy, what is it?” I asked concerned as I take her in my arms.
She hugged me tight as her cries grew louder, It broke my heart to see her this way. Without saying another word, I held her in my arms allowing her to cry her heart out.
We stayed like that for a while until she calmed down a bit,
” Macy, are you alright?” I ask, breaking the silence,
” Why does Fate have to be so cruel, Liam?” she asks in return.
” Things do not go the way we always plan, Macy, sometimes we just have to accept what life throws at us,”
” Perhaps if I had not shown up in your lives then everything would have been better,”
” Hey don’t say that, you are my chosen Macy, and one way or the other our part would have crossed.”
I raised her head, so our eyes could meet, her eyes were all red and puffy from crying.
” Every day of my life I wondered when I’ll meet my mate, who she was, and what she’ll look like until I finally found you, Macy, you are all I could ever ask for, the moon goddess has her reason why she chose you as mine. And I mean every word I say when I say I love you.”
Macy blinks her tears which streamed down her face, “Liam I…I don’t want to hurt Derick, he is hurting because of me,” She whispers in tears,
Seeing your mate in pain is another level of suffering, it hurt me to see her like this, all I wanted was to take her pain away.
” Hey, Derick understands that your mine now, He’ll get over it, don’t cry about that,”
” But he…” she tries to explain, but I cut her words shut with my finger,
” Shush there now, enough with the sad talks,”
I held her close as we were now lying on the bed in each other arms, she was now relaxed, and so was my wolf.
Derick’s POV
My entire body ached after the damage Liam and his wolf inflicted on my body, I skipped breakfast knowing Macy might not feel comfortable with me around.
I never wanted to kiss her, but I could not control myself, I missed her so much and my body acted on its own.
Every word I said earlier to Macy I meant, I don’t care what Liam tries to do to me because I do not think I can ever stop loving my girl.
Her response today broke my heart again, she was scared I felt it in her voice.
My phone beeps again for the hundredth time today, and I ignore it again. My secretary has been calling and texting for days now, I have had important meetings and meet-ups which I have ignored.
Goddess knows I am not in the right state of mind for any work. Tracy, my secretary, even sent some emails which I haven’t even thought of checking.
I watched the birds in the sky as they flew around in harmony, I was jealous of them, jealous of their freedom.
I was now in my favorite spot behind the pack house, alone and sad.
I heard footsteps, but I didn’t bother to turn around because I didn’t care at all.
” I thought I’ll find you here, son,”
” What are you doing here?” I asked,
” Is that how you are going to treat your favorite person?”
I rolled my eyes at her words, before shifting my gaze to her direction.
” Mom don’t be dramatic,”
” Now where is the fun without drama, son,” Mom says smiling before sitting next to me.
Mom has always tried her best to be there for me which I sincerely appreciate,
We chatted for a few hours before going back inside the pack house, Mom moved to the kitchen to go start preparations for dinner.
I met Greg and Dad in the living room, they looked to be in a deep conversation, I had only walked a few meters from them when I had Dad’s voice.
” Derick son,”
I paused in my tracks before turning to face him, Dad looked at me with concern in his eyes.
” I’m all ears, Dad,” I say impatiently,
” Are you alright?” he asks,
I scoff at his words. ” Do I look alright to you, Dad?” I ask in return with irritation laced in my voice.
Dad sighs heavily before walking towards me, he places his hands on my shoulder.
” I know you are hurt, but you have to understand that she is his mate, and you need to let her go, to avoid further drama,” Dad explains,
” No, you don’t know how I feel Dad! And you can never know, so please save your advice and don’t tell me what to do concerning the woman I love,” I declare angrily,
Dad should not be telling me things like this,
” You don’t have to talk to your Father that way Derick,” Greg butts in this time,
” That’s none of your concern how I talk to my father, now you all should simply mind your business and stay the fuck out of my business!” I yell,
” Well fuck you, and your business Derick! It’s not like I care!” Greg yells back at me.
My blood was boiling with anger at his words, how dare he sprout such nonsense?
” Derick I’m only looking out for you as a father, it hurts me to see you and your brother fighting one another,” Dad continues,
” Since when do you look out for me uh? Dad stop it doesn’t suit you,” I say with sarcasm in my voice.
” Son, I have always cared for both you and your brother, you know that.” Dad defends,
” The last time I checked it has always been Liam, Dad, preparing him to be Alpha and a leader, preparing him for his birthright and all. You never once cared so don’t try to act like it now!”
I walked away with those words, but I was halted by my brother and the woman I love standing a few steps away from me,
Liam’s face was expressionless as he glanced at me, my eyes trail them, and I notice her hands in his hold, my heart clenched at what I saw.
My gaze moves to her face, and she has a sad look on her countenance, she could not meet my eyes and that broke me.
Without a word, I turn around and walk out of the pack house with tears in my eyes.
I quickly force the shift the moment I’m out of the mansion, shifting into my massive Grey wolf and we run into the Woods.
