You are family

Book:Mated To My Alpha Brother Published:2025-3-10

Safe to say I now believe that indeed the world gives you lemons, all these years the only thought on my mind was finding the Father of my child so we could unite as one big family, yet it turns out I have to accept a different faith. Macy and her husband undoubtedly accepted me and my child not only into their home but also into their hearts. I felt the love they had for Daryl, there was no pretense and I can tell just how much his existence warmed their heart. Two days had passed since my arrival and today Mother and Father would be returning from their trip, so the house was busy preparing for their arrival. Macy mentioned she desires to throw a remote party just for the family, to celebrate Daryl’s welcoming into the family. I argued there was no need for that, but she insisted, so I had to let it go; might as well just enjoy it. I decided to help out in the kitchen that morning, even after Macy told me not to worry, I still felt that I needed to assist. As Macy and I worked in the kitchen alongside some maids, we heard footsteps behind us, it was Liam. “Hey baby,” he says to his wife while hugging her from behind, “I missed you…” he murmurs again as he buries his face into her neck, placing kisses on her mark. Macy giggled before veering around to face him, I watched them from my position. She kissed him softly before telling him she missed him too. Their love was clearly a match from the goddess, one could tell just how much Liam adored his human mate. I too yearned for a love like theirs, a love where my partner values and adores my mere existence. These thoughts made me sad, Maybe I was never meant to be loved; not this way.”Hi Elaine,” a deep voice hauls me out of my thoughts, I stared ahead and noticed Liam, “Oh hi, welcome home Alpha.” I stutter avoiding his gaze. Well looking closely at him, I realized how far his resemblance to Derick was, their face shaped alike and also their nose.”Just Liam please, you are family.” His words warmed my heart, I had never felt more welcomed in the past two years of being alone.”Thank you, Liam.” “Are you okay?” Macy asks the moment Liam leaves, she eyed me intently. One thing I noticed about Macy was her ability to read people, despite being human amid shifters she always finds ways to make her ideas known. Obviously, she leads powerfully beside her Alpha, I am proud of her even if I have only known her for a few days.”You guys always do that, in front of the servants?” I asked pointing out the kiss they shared in our presence. Macy chuckled at my question, as she proceeded with the preparation of the cupcakes we needed for later.”Liam as you have noticed is a very possessive male, both he and his wolf are. Our employees are used to us, moreover, we are both hopeless romantics.” “I wish I could have that too.” I let out, she walked up to me and took both my hands in hers.”I am so sorry for everything that you’ve gone through Elaine, but be rest assured that in due time your love will come, and the moon goddess will pair you up with someone who will love you until eternity.” I shook my head at her “What if It doesn’t come, Macy, I risked everything even my life for my child, Maybe I was never meant to feel what true love is, perhaps I’ll die single.” Instantly she pulls me into a hug, a tight one which I return, “It is all going to be okay, let’s only hope that the moon goddess has more goods in store for you.” “Thank you, Macy, you have no idea how much this means to me.”As I scanned my reflection through the mirror in front of me, I was awed at my new look. Macy had brought me a pretty dress to wear for the evening, even pairing it up with gorgeous jewelry to match my look. One of the servants was sent up to my room to do my hair and also my makeup for the party. It was only for family, yet she made all these arrangements; oh Macy, her actions only made me love her more. A knock on the door caught my attention, a figure stepped into my room, and in her arms was my little miracle, also dressed up handsomely in a baby tux.”Mommy, Mommy.” His baby voice calls out to me as she walks closer. Daryl stretched his little arms towards me, so I could hold him, which I did.”Oh, baby, you look so handsome.” I place kisses all over his face, causing him to giggle excitedly. “Elaine, you look absolutely amazing,” Macy speaks up with a wide smile on her face.”Thank you, um, you also look gorgeous in that dress,” I retort. She was likewise dressed so elegantly in that chocolate color knee-length dress she wore, with mild makeup that brightened her looks. I see the reason an Alpha was head over heels in love. Upon our arrival downstairs the entire room was beautifully decorated, with music in the background and food buffet standing in the corner even, everything looked perfect. I turned to face Macy with a creased brow “This absolutely does not scream remote, Macy this is too luxurious, you didn’t have to…” yet she cut my words,”That’s enough Elaine, You should understand that you and your child deserve even more. Welcome to the Torres family, now this is how we throw a party.” she giggles as she pulls me towards a group in front. Liam, Greg, and two more people stood together discussing when we reached the group. I noticed the other two were older by their looks, a Man, and a Woman. “Mother, Father, meet Elaine and her son Daryl.” I swallowed hard hearing her words, they were Derick’s parents. I stared at the couple who stared back, the woman walked towards us, tears streaming down her face as she glanced at Daryl.”My Derick has a son…. Oh! My beautiful boy, come here.” she mutters before taking Daryl from me into her arms. The man pulled them both into his arms also crying, I watched how they lovingly stared in awe at my baby. “Come here child,” the woman calls for me, her eyes now red and puffy from crying.”Thank you so much, for surviving, thank you for bringing my grandson home where he belongs.” She pulls me into an embrace, one which I return, also the man does the same. I realized just how much this family was hurting from the demise of their son. The moon goddess had barely used me as a vessel to birth them a miracle, and I am satisfied that Daryl is my miracle too.
