Marilyn’s POV

By the time I returned to the packhouse, the world felt wrong against my skin. The walk back had been a blur ,just the crunch of leaves under my feet, the fading echo of Liam’s footsteps in the opposite direction, and the quiet hum of a wolf inside me that refused to come forward.

The lights from the packhouse spilled across the lawn, warm and golden, but I felt no warmth as I stepped inside. A few pack members glanced up from the common area, their conversations dipping for a moment before continuing. Their eyes lingered though curious, judging, pitying.

I kept my head down and moved quickly up the stairs.

My room felt too big and too small all at once. I closed the door behind me, leaned against it, and let out a shaky breath. Liam’s words looped in my head like a cruel announcement.

“You’re too modern.”

“You don’t belong here.”

“I can’t claim you… not like this.”

I pressed a hand to my chest, as if I could quiet the ache underneath.

  • Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother    Coronation

    Marilyn’s POV The coronation came too fast. One moment I was still trying to understand what it meant to belong here, and the next, the pack house buzzed with preparation, voices echoing through the halls, the air thick with anticipation. Aunt Agnes had arrived early that morning. Seeing her standing near the window of the alpha’s chamber, dressed simply but elegantly, made my chest ache. She caught my eye and smiled softly, pride and worry mixed together. In the center of the room, Caroline was practically vibrating with excitement. “Stand still,” she ordered, tugging gently at the corset strings of my dress. “If you pass out during the ceremony because you can’t breathe, Liam will never forgive me.” “I’m not going to pass out,” I muttered, staring at my reflection. The dress was beautiful, flowing, pale, almost glowing against my skin. I barely recognized the woman looking back at me. Caroline kept talking, words spilling out nonstop. “Do you know how many she-wolves would k

  • Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother    Luna

    Marilyn’s POV A week passed. It surprised me how quickly the pack settled into a rhythm again, as if chaos and fear had never brushed its edges. The patrols returned to normal. Laughter slowly crept back into the halls. Even the air felt lighter. And somehow, without realizing it, I began to belong. I learned names. I helped in the kitchens one morning and in the healing room another afternoon. I listened more than I spoke, watched how the pack moved together like one body. The fear I once carried softened into caution, then into something almost like comfort. Liam noticed. “You handled that well,” he told me one evening after I helped calm a disagreement between two younger wolves. His voice held quiet pride. That praise warmed me more than it should have. That night, the dining hall was full. The long tables were crowded with pack members sharing food and stories. The fire crackled warmly, and for once, I wasn’t shrinking under curious stares. Smiles met me instead. Nods of

  • Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother    Secret investigation

    Marilyn’s POV My head throbbed before my eyes even opened. The first thing I felt was warmth, soft sheets beneath me, a familiar scent wrapping around my senses like a cocoon. Pine. Smoke. Liam. I blinked. The ceiling above me was carved wood, dark and solid. Liam’s chamber. Memory rushed back all at once of the rogue, the blood, the scream. I sucked in a sharp breath and tried to sit up. “Easy,” a voice said immediately. It was Helena. She was beside the bed in an instant, one hand steadying my shoulder, the other lifting a glass of water to my lips. “You fainted. Don’t rush.” I swallowed hard and nodded, accepting the water with shaking hands. The coolness grounded me. Only then did I notice the others. Rowan stood near the window, arms crossed, jaw tight. The pack doctor, an older man with silver hair and kind eyes was packing herbs back into a leather satchel. And Liam… Liam stood near the foot of the bed, his back half-turned to me. He was speaking to the doctor in

  • Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother    The truth is dead

    Marilyn’s POV The next day came too quickly. Sunlight spilled through the tall windows of the pack house, painting the stone hallways in gold. I walked beside Liam, my steps slow, my thoughts louder than my footsteps. Everything felt different now, heavier, clearer, and more real. People bowed as we passed. Some smiled. Some stared. I tried not to flinch. Just as we turned down the east hallway, a sharp voice cut through the quiet. “Luna!” I stopped and So did Liam. I turned to see Selene standing near one of the pillars, dressed in pale blue, her hands folded neatly in front of her. She looked calm on the surface, but her eyes were anything but calm. There was something tight in her expression, something forced. Liam’s body went rigid beside me. “Selene,” he said coolly. She inclined her head toward him before turning her gaze back to me. “May I speak with you? Alone.” My first instinct was to say no. Liam felt it immediately. His hand brushed mine, subtle but grounding

  • Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother    Justice has a sound

    Marilyn’s POV Caroline and I were walking along the inner path of the pack house, the afternoon calm and bright, when the first shout shattered the peace. It wasn’t just noise,it was fury. I stopped short as angry voices rose ahead of us, sharp and loud, carrying across the stone walls. The air felt different instantly, charged and heavy. “What’s going on now?” Caroline asked, already leaning forward with interest. Before I could answer, a group came into view. Rowan was at the front. He was dragging a wolf by the collar, fists flying as he struck him again and again. Blood streaked the man’s face, but Rowan didn’t slow. Behind them, guards hauled another wolf forward, forcing him along as he struggled weakly. They were headed straight toward Liam’s office. Pack members followed, some shouting, some throwing stones. Others chanted low, angry words I didn’t recognize but felt in my bones. The sound was raw, old rage, communal and unforgiving. My stomach twisted. Caroline’s e

  • Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother    What I chose

    Marilyn’s POV The corset pulled tight around my waist, stealing my breath just a little. “Hold still,” the omega murmured, fingers quick and practiced as she tightened the final strap of the long beige dress. The fabric was soft, elegant, nothing like what I wore in the city. It flowed down to my ankles, hugging my body in a way that felt both unfamiliar and… exposing. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, hardly recognizing myself. Aunt Agnes had left early that morning. Her words still echoed in my head. “If you can’t cope, Marilyn, come back to the city. Don’t lose yourself trying to fit into a world that won’t bend. And don’t try to run from it either.” I swallowed, my chest tight. “Done,” the omega said quietly, stepping back. Before I could thank her, a low chuckle sounded from the doorway. My heart jumped. I turned. Liam leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, eyes dark and intent. Judging by the way his gaze lingered, he had been standing there longer than I
