All Chapters of Forbidden desires: In love with my brother's best friend : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Josh's POV My eyes gazed around when I noticed Darren, who was in the field. Funny how I had thought he wouldn't be able to come here after what he had done and what he had in mind toward Lina, but I guess not everyone has that shame in them. My eyes glossed around the field where I had the ball when my eyes met with Max whose eyes were unfathomable, but I could tell he was ready to do whatever it was just so we wouldn't end up at each other's throats. My hands balled into a fist as I ran across the field, shooting the ball into the net. The air reverberated with shouts and screams of my name, which I found it difficult to take in when I couldn't see her.Chewing on my lips, I turned to the side, aiming for the ball, when Darren showed up in front of me, his eyes fixated on me as he maneuvered to the side while making sure I was staring at him. He dribbled while I tried to get the ball, and while he was about to shoot, my feet swept the ball away, garnering cheers as I prevented

Luna Gregory would have never imagined that this would be it. There had been countless times when she had imagined Lina getting to find out the truth, but this was the last thing she could have imagined. To her, Lina didn't need to know; as long as she was kept in the dark, she was okay with it, anything aside from that because she didn't know what she would think. She knew Lina wouldn't be okay with it, but there was nothing she could do. She had thought she was protecting her interest by now telling her, but the look on her face currently spoke otherwise, contrary to what she had come to believe in. Lina came closer, taking steps as she made her way to her family, who had the look on their faces that she couldn't fathom. It was the last thing she could have imagined. She knew that there was something she wasn't being told about, that was being kept hidden from her, but she had never thought it would be this, or maybe she hadn't heard right. “ What did you just say?” She demand

Samantha knew this day would come, but it came pretty fast when she hadn't been expecting it, and now she had to use it to her advantage. She stood at the door waiting for Darren to step in from school with a flute of champagne in one hand for him. Words do travel fast, and Ethan's beta had been the one to tell her exactly what was going on, and now she had to use it to her full advantage; she would be stupid not to do so. She wasn't one to waste an opportunity such as this, and she was going to do whatever it took just so she could make it right, the way it should have. When the minutes went by and it turned into an hour, and an hour turned into another, she knew something had to be wrong, and she had to find out what it was. Before she could pick up her phone, the door was yanked open, and she came face-to-face with a furious Ethan. Well, that had been fast. She was so sure his Luna had left, which would give her the opportunity to take what was hers, she would be his new Luna.

Lina’s POV Settling it all in was being more difficult than I had expected. It seemed to be too much, and the more I tried to grasp it all in, it turned even more difficult.My hands settled on my lap while I watched the Uber drive away from the packhouse, with it becoming distant as it faded away. I ran a hand through my hair before flickering my gaze outside, crystals streamed down my cheek, a complete contrast to what I had been expecting. I wasn't the one who cried. I would barely shed a tear most times, but this was something that would break me down. I hated how much of a crybaby I had turned out to be recently, but with all that seemed to be happening, it was the least I could do since it turned out to be some sort of release for me. “We are here, miss.” The cab driver's eyes gazed at me, and I was certain that he knew who I was even when he didn't say a word. “ Thank you.” I handed a dollar bill to him before walking back in, my feet waddling to the room Emma would be in

Max stood outside with his hands underneath his chin. He had been called by his mother, and the first thing she had said was how Josh's mother had cancer. That had left him shocked because he hadn't been told that by Josh, and when he had been told Josh had no idea initially, he came over to be the succor that he would need. “ A contest, what are they talking about?” His hearing was heightened since he was a purebred werewolf who had had numerous rigorous trainings. “ It must be the contest between him and Darren, possibly to ascertain who would be the next Alpha.” Her mother explained, and he sighed deeper than he usually would have. “ That must be a lot.” He was glad that his father hadn't done anything such as that. “ Josh is insisting he would rather not be the Alpha.” “Why would he say that?” “ We don't know.” A frown remained on Max’s face. What was Josh on about? It was something they had already planned between him and Josh. They had seen it fitting enough that the
