Macy’s POV
The entire time I was in another realm, witnessing Mara’s life from her birth to her death. Everything unfolded in front of my eyes, My heart clenched with the pain she went through, the only crime she committed was to be born to a father as wicked and heartless as Van-Brooke.
I woke up to realize I was back in our room, my clothes were changed, and the sun was already high in the sky, how long have I been unconscious? I wondered,
The sound of a vociferous growl made me tremble, I quickly ran out of the room without reflection, I was barefooted with only a t-shirt on me. My eyes widened with shock as I witnessed, Liam attacking Serai while everyone else, apart from Grandma were on their knees wailing in pain, the color of his eyes was that of his wolf. He was enraged.
His words made me realize it was because of me, he attacked Serai, I called out to him however I was weak as I walked up to my mate, and immediately Rage retreated at the sound of my voice.
Liam gently carried me in his arms upstairs and into our room, he walked straight to the bed and laid me on the mattress before climbing unto the bed, he pulled me closer and into his arms. I moaned at the scent of his bath wash that helped to calm me, my mate brought his face to my neck sniffing my scent. I giggle when he licks his mark before placing a kiss on it, making me moan at the feeling.
” Please do not scare me like that again,”
His voice comes out as a whisper, as he holds me close to his body, “I’m sorry I scared you,” I murmur as I wrap my arms around him,
” We missed you, and Rage lost it when he could not feel you through the bond,” he explains in a low voice, like a child who missed his mother.
” I missed you too,” I mutter,
The servants brought in food and Liam made sure to feed me well himself, according to him, I was out for almost two days, I guess that was the reason I felt extremely exhausted when I woke up. My mate assisted me with taking a warm bath before we went downstairs.
My entire body ached from lying in the same position for a long time, I glanced around the living room and noticed things were back to normal. The servants ran around the house finishing up their chores, while Mom and Dad were having coffee with Grandma.
I strolled in their direction with an apologetic look on my face, “Macy dear, how do you feel?” Mom inquires the moment I arrive,
” I feel better, and I wanted to apologize for Liam’s behavior earlier,” I say to them.
” Macy, no need to apologize, we are used to him that way, plus we are alright,” Mom says with an assuring smile on her face.
” Marathi, you do not have to feel bad at all, your husband simply missed you,” Nana goes on to say making everyone laugh, my cheeks turn red with her words.
Liam walks into the room, with a smirk on his face as he must have heard our conversation.
” I hope you feel satisfied now, horny Alpha,” Dad says to Liam with a grin on his face, “I feel ecstatic if you must know, Father,”
I roll my eyes at their chat, especially with my mate’s response. I looked around and could not find Serai or Greg anywhere,
“I cannot seem to find Greg or Serai,”
” Greg volunteered to drop Serai off back at her hotel,” Grandma says,
Liam scoffs at her reply, making everyone turn to him, “The same Man who was scared to pick the witch up, volunteered to go drop the witch off, now isn’t that odd.” He says with a smirk on his face while shaking his head.
I furrow my brow confused at his utterance, just then Greg walks into the mansion, with a smile on his face,
” How is Serai? Is she alright?” I questioned Greg at once, wanting to know how my friend was faring after the attack from my husband.
” Luna, the witch is fine, I just dropped her off at her hotel,”
My heart seemed to calm down after hearing Greg’s reply, I feared she might have been hurt. However, I still needed to see her for myself just to be sure and also to apologize for Liam’s behavior.
” Greg to my office, now!” I heard Liam yell at his Beta, who immediately moves in a fast stride, obeying the order given by his Alpha.
Liam’s POV
My wolf was now silent with our mate back, there was a lot to take care of at this time, and having a furious wolf cause havoc in my head was not what I needed.
My Beta and I walk into my office, we had a lot of work to do. But I noticed Greg acted differently, giggling to himself sporadically, he was lost in his thoughts, which made me worry, this was the first time he acted this way.
” What is it?” I questioned, breaking the silence in my office, with my gaze on him.
” What?” he asked in return, looking baffled at me, our gazes locked on each other. I creased my brow at him for acting oblivious to his action, which irritated me.
” I heard you dropped the witch off,”
” She had no one to drop her off, so I volunteered,” he says, trying to avoid my gaze this time as he focuses on the files in his hand, I smirk at his action.
” Greg, is there something I need to know?”
” I have nothing to speak of,”
I creased my brow at his response. Greg acted differently, maybe Serai cast a spell on him, I guessed. Warily, I let go of the topic, focusing on our work.
Greg’s POV
(Flashback to earlier this morning)
My heart skipped when Liam requested I go fetch the witch, I was not scared of her because of what she is, but I feared something else, so I tried my possible best to avoid her.
As an unmated wolf, I have longed to one day find my mate, nevertheless, I still have fun with other unmated she-wolves or sometimes humans who are oblivious to what I am. Not once have I been attracted to any of them, I have been solely on here waiting for my mate, yet a woman who I have heard has lived more than a hundred years old without aging, one of the most powerful witches existing, has made me have sleepless nights, reoccurring blue balls and daydreaming.
Reluctantly I drove the car to the hotel where she was sheltered, I arrived and went straight to her room, but after knocking twice and there was no response, I decided to go in, my eyes searched the room but could not find her, although I heard the shower sounds coming from the bathroom.
” Witch,” I called out,
” Hold on, I’m almost done,” she speaks out from the bathroom. I took a seat on the couch provided in the room as I stared around the room, everywhere was tidied, and it smelt of her.
After waiting for about two minutes, I heard a loud thud followed by a wail of distress coming from the bathroom, without consideration, I barged into the bathroom as worry enveloped me,
My heartbeat increased at the sight in of front me, there she was on the floor of the bathroom with her body all wet from her shower she just had, I gulped hard as I stared at her exposed body, the towel wrapped around her body loosened revealing her full plump breast and her creamy skin which I bet would feel so soft under my touch.
Her face displayed she was in so much pain, I tried my best not to glance in between her legs,
” Are you going to merely stand there or help me up,”
Her voice broke the stillness bringing me out of my rated thinking, immediately I lean down to her level and instantly pick her up from the cold ground into my arms, and we stare into each other’s eyes as I carry her bridal style back to the room before carefully placing her on the bed.
” Are you alright?”
” I must have twisted my ankle,” she retorts, I watch carefully as she mutters some enchantments confusing me,
” You do not have to worry, I simply healed myself,”
” I wasn’t worried,” I lie as I stand to my feet, glancing anywhere but at her, I heard her scoff lightly before walking to the closet, she picked some clothes and then moved to the bathroom to dress up.
I waited patiently for her and then explained why I was there, she seemed fine with what happened earlier whereas I was trying hard to control myself after my eyes caught those nipples.
” Thank you for helping me earlier in the bathroom,” she says breaking the silence in the car, as I drove back to the pack house.
“It is nothing, I would help anyone in that position,” I reply to her, my voice without any emotion,
” Of course, you would, you are a good man Greg. I believe you will live a happy life,” she says with a smile on her face, and for a minute there I was lost staring at her lustfully, my pants tightening as images of her naked underneath me played in my head.
” Serai I__”
” We have arrived, come on let’s go,” she cuts me off, it was then I realized we had reached the front of the mansion.
Fuck! What was happening to me?
