Faye's POVAfter running out of Liam's office, I wandered around the campus like a lost soul.It was my first day of school, and although I had visited the university a few times before, I was not familiar with the place. I dressed strangely, wearing an oversized shirt and ill-fitting men's shorts, which drew stares and whispers from onlookers.I kept my head down, hands shielding my face, trying to avoid the curious glances of strangers while hiding my tears. I didn't want to be here anymore, or more precisely, I didn't want to be in the same place as Liam.I had been wrong all along, repeatedly hoping that Liam would change his attitude towards me.I even fantasized that he would become my fated mate, just like Leander. But all I got in return was disappointment and pain. Everything he said in the lab had felt like a series of sharp knives cutting into me.At that moment, I was most grateful to my mom for renting that apartment for me. All I wanted now was to return to my little san
Faye's POVLiam and Christine appeared to be having an argument, and the situation seemed somewhat chaotic. Hedy noticed that something was amiss because Liam didn't even acknowledge her greeting."Are they... arguing?" Hedy asked uncertainly."I don't know," I tried to usher her away from the scene. "Couples have their issues. We can't really tell."Hedy nodded but still seemed hesitant. She glanced at me. "But...""Let's go," I took the lead, leaving the cafe.Before leaving, I faintly heard Christine say, "Is it because of her?"My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't resist looking back at Liam. Our eyes briefly met and then quickly averted. Liam was holding Christine's arm and led her away. It appeared that Liam was afraid of me finding out something.I lowered my head and continued walking silently. I felt a sense of disappointment, but more than that, I felt a sense of calm. I knew I had been thoroughly disappointed.Before the end of the day, our professor assigned us our firs
Liam's POVWhen Leander and I were kids, we were both mischievous, and I was even more mischievous than my younger brother. One day, I sneaked into my dad's study.I rummaged through the study, finding nothing interesting, and soon grew bored. As I was about to leave, I discovered an old photo frame in one of the drawers.I looked at the photo inside, and it featured two people. One of them was my dad, Louis, who was the alpha of the Silver Moon pack. The other person had an arm casually draped over my dad's shoulder, and they looked very close. However, I had never seen this man before.I took the frame and went to ask my dad, "Daddy, who is this person?"Once my dad saw the photo clearly, he snatched the frame away and shouted at me, "Where did you get this?!"I was frightened and nearly forgot to cry as I stammered, "I found it in your study.""No more going into my study to play! Do you hear me?" My dad continued to yell.I sobbed, "Yes...""And remember, the person in the photo i
Liam's POV"Kid, you're dead!" they shouted.My hands were still bound, and I was moving erratically, trying to free my wrists. Queena grabbed my clothes, but I twisted away and aimed for her abdomen, knocking her down."Ah! I'll kill you!" Queena roared.I kept charging forward, and my wrist restraints came loose. I threw my arms forward and sprinted. The abandoned building was like a complex maze, and I couldn't see where the exit was.I didn't dare to look back, but I always felt two cold gazes fixated on my back.I was groping in the dark like a blind person. My heart was pounding so fast it made me want to vomit. I couldn't stop until I noticed that the people pursuing me seemed to have disappeared, and I felt like I had shaken them off.I also noticed a faint glimmer of light ahead.Excited, I quickened my pace toward the light. It must be the way out. I was about to escape this dreadful place.Without hesitation, I pushed the door open.My smile instantly vanished.Outside the
Faye's POV"After that day, I lost my sense of smell for several years. Later, I underwent many desensitization trials with wolfsbane, and as I grew older, my sense of smell gradually returned, but it often remains erratic," Liam said, calmly recounting a story about himself and the foxes, as if he were telling someone else's tale.I couldn't help but feel deeply guilty about my previous misunderstandings about him. I also genuinely empathized with what he had been through."My olfactory problem became the biggest taboo in this family. Dad, Elena, and Leander all silently agreed never to bring it up. Layla was too young to even remember...," Liam continued, turning to look deeply into my eyes. "Faye, now you know, right? I really didn't intend to hide it from you, and Leander wasn't helping me deceive you."I choked up, my eyes welling with tears, not knowing what to say."But I shouldn't have closed myself off, resisted my instincts, and pushed you away. You are the best gift, the be
Faye's POVAfter dinner, Louis called Liam and Leander aside, and the three of them went to Louis's study. I figured Louis was going to talk to them about our mate relationship.I was planning to go back to my room to rest and also find some things to take to school.But mom intercepted me at my room's door."Dear, can we talk?" she asked."Of course, mom," I replied.Mom got straight to the point. "Faye, now that you have two fated mates... Have you...been with Leander...?"Before mom could finish, I immediately reacted, and my face turned red in an instant."Uhh, not yet. We've only..."I couldn't continue. I couldn't say more in front of mom! Images of the intimate moments with Leander flashed in my mind again. Even though I hadn't thought about them for a while, now they made me blush and my heart race."That's good then!" Mom visibly sighed in relief. "At your age... You have twin mates, and mom is really worried about you! Remember to protect yourself!"I understood what mom mea
Faye's POV“Sorry, brother.” He held up the card with a wicked smile.A king of spades.Liam blinked a few times. “All right. A bet's a bet.”I almost burst out laughing. I can't wait to see how Leander will ask Liam a question or ask him to do something weird.Leander packs three cards. “First, please take something from your body.”I look forward to watching Liam, not knowing what he'll take.The safest course is a suit jacket, or a watch, or even a shoe.To my surprise, Liam pulled a flat box out of his suit pocket.“What is it?” I asked, leaning in.“A necklace,” Liam said, opening the little box.At the same time, I saw the Bulgari logo on the box.Leander heckled: “Ohh! Is that for Faye?”I looked at Liam with a mixture of embarrassment and anticipation.Liam nods. “Yes. I prepared it just for you.”Liam's blue eyes were fixed on me as he spoke. His eyes were like a dark blue swirl, sucking me in.“So... Can I wear it now? I want to wear it now!”Leander pondered with feigned em
Faye's POVI said word by word, “I want you to m.asturbate in front of me until you ejaculate!”“Aah! Faye! You're so dirty!”Leander walks with his arms in the air. “OMG, this is so exciting! Brother, do you think...”Leander and I looked at Liam at the same time.Liam's already undoing his belt.“OMG...” it's my turn to be surprised! Is this it? ! I'm not ready!I mean, I don't know Liam that well. I've been thinking about his body, but I'm not ready to face Liam's d.ick...Liam undoes his belt slowly, as if toying with a snake wrapped around his waist. He is in complete control.It's hard to take my eyes off Liam's waist. His long hands moved unhurriedly over the dark trousers of his suit. Every movement of his seemed to touch me.It's hard not to suspect that Liam is flirting with me, physically.I say, he did it!As he moved, my chest began to heat up and my garden felt a little itchy and wet.I couldn't help crossing my legs. But for the moment, I resisted the urge to rub the ga
