Miranda's Point of View"I'm ready," Vincenzo said."Alright, lie down here. I'll..." My words were stuck in my throat the moment I turned around and saw him.His white towel sat lazily low on his hips. His chest was firm, his skin smooth, and his muscles seemed to flex with every single movement he made.My professionalism vanished the minute my eyes dropped to the bulge in his crotch area, and I gulped nervously. Don't tell me he's not wearing any boxers under this towel.I found myself taking slow steps towards him, with my eyes still fixed on his crotch area, but I snapped back to reality when he cleared his throat."Can we start?" he asked with a knowing smirk."Of..." I choked on my spit. "...course.""Are you okay?" He came closer to me and patted my back gently.I coughed lightly as I nodded. "Are you okay?" I asked him back.He chuckled."Yes, I am."I nodded dumbly, unable to form any sentence at that moment, and made sure to avoid eye contact with him."Okay. I’m ready," he

Miranda's Point of ViewMy head instinctively whipped around, looking to see if anyone was nearby and had heard us."Bring your voice down, will you?" I scolded her."Oh," she slapped her mouth gently. "You two were giving off couple vibes. I thought you were mates," she whispered this time.I puffed out some air."Well, he actually is my mate, but I'm not mated to him at the moment."She stopped walking as she frowned in obvious confusion."What do you mean?" she asked.I sighed, raising my brows. "It's complicated, but I'll make it as easy as possible."My eyes scanned the place for a vacant table. Luckily, a couple had just vacated one, and I quickly but gently led her towards it."Let's sit down. You've been standing for too long."As soon as her butt touched the chair, she faced me with a curious expression."So, tell me, what's going on?""It's a long story," I said."Oh, I love long stories."I rolled my eyes as I thought of how to begin. I didn't want to lie to her, but tellin
Miranda's Point of ViewClaire looked expectantly at me after asking that question. Not wanting to sound or appear awkward, I cleared my throat and walked toward the kitchen."He's my brother-in-law. It's not strange that we're friendly with each other," I said."But you behave more than friendly with him. Others would think there's something going on between you. Even the Luna Queen mistook him to be your mate, and neither of you corrected her," she argued politely."Hm, you're quite observant." I faced her and put a hand on her shoulder. "I know you feel like I'm cheating on your Alpha or betraying him, but trust me, you'll soon understand everything that's going on."She wasn’t satisfied with my response, but she didn’t argue either. She simply nodded quietly. It's not that I don't want to tell her the truth, but Lorenzo had placed her by my side to spy on me, after all... I can't risk letting her in on our plan.As if she sensed my guard against her, she smiled softly."I'll alway
Miranda's point of viewBy the time I was done talking with Lorenzo on the phone, it was almost dark outside. He just kept reminding me how I should behave myself and shouldn’t bring shame to the pack.“...Miranda is friends with the Luna Queen,” I heard Vincenzo say to someone on the phone as I entered the house.“Who’s that?” I asked him in a whisper.“Your father-in-law,” he replied.“Oh.” I shook my head at how he was referring to his father.“I have to go, Dad. I have something very important to discuss with Miranda,” he said and hung up.I raised my brows. “What do we have to discuss?”“Nothing. I was just tired of his endless talk and needed an excuse to end the call,” he answered.I simply nodded. I slumped on a sofa next to his and faced him.“You were on the phone with Lorenzo for so long,” he cleared his throat. “What were you two talking about?”“He was just reminding me to behave myself.” I adjusted myself on the sofa.“Right. When do you intend to tell your friend about
