Semua Bab Mated to Brother’s Alpha Best Friend: Bab 1 - Bab 10

When I was twelve, Ethan was eighteen.He was my brother Alex's best friend and the most powerful Alpha in the northern territories.He was magnetic, commanding, with an aura that made every wolf in the pack lower their heads in respect.I was completely obsessed with him.This wasn't just a crush. When he was around, I felt my entire world shift on its axis.I baked cookies for their pack meetings, the kind loaded with chocolate chips that Ethan always grabbed first.I drew little pictures of wolves running under moonlight, pencil strokes filled with a longing I couldn't even name.Every story about his victories in territorial disputes, I knew by heart.My fifteenth birthday.I was still in high school, my wolf hadn't emerged yet, but my dreams were full of shifting and finding my mate.But that day, only Ethan mattered. Only the courage building in my chest like a wildfire.After the pack celebration, Alex snuck me a small sip of the ceremonial wine.It tasted like rebellion and bra

Ethan looked relieved. Victoria's smile tightened slightly."Thank you so much for your blessing, sweetheart," Victoria said sweetly. "Actually, that reminds me. I have a little favor to ask."She looked at me with those perfectly lined eyes, her expression taking on a fake troubled look."You see, while the Moon Goddess's arrangement was just a small mistake, it has caused Ethan some... complications within the pack. Some people are questioning our bond."She moved closer to Ethan, pressing against his side possessively."If you could attend our marking ceremony and give us your public blessing, it would silence all the doubters. Show everyone that even his former... connection... supports our union."The request hung in the air like a trap.I opened my mouth to refuse, but Marcus spoke up first."Come on, Sylvia. After everything Ethan's done for you? He saved your life when you were just a kid.""Yeah," Leo chimed in. "Now you want to mess up his whole future because of some childho

The next morning, my phone buzzed with a text message.It was from Victoria.The first message was a photo of an enormous venue decorated with white roses and crystal chandeliers. The caption read: "Marking ceremony preparations! Ethan spared no expense ??"Then another photo appeared. This one showed a massive ice sculpture in the shape of wolves, surrounded by what looked like hundreds of candles."He mobilized the entire pack's resources for me," she wrote. "The Alpha Council even approved special funding. I'm so lucky to have a mate who loves me this much!"More photos followed. A custom-made altar made of rare moonstone. Professional photographers setting up equipment. Catering trucks from the most expensive restaurant in the territory."The marking ceremony is going to be the event of the century," her final message read. "Too bad some people will never experience this kind of devotion ??"I stared at the messages for a long moment, waiting for the familiar stab of pain.But it d

When I arrived at Ethan's house, the door was slightly ajar. Music and drunken laughter spilled out.I walked inside and stopped short.The place had been completely transformed.Gone were the scattered silver dagger and other weapons I remembered from years ago.Now everything was sleek, minimalist furniture arranged with artistic precision. Expensive taste, expensive pieces.Victoria's influence was everywhere.A large framed photo of her and Ethan sat prominently on a side table, both of them grinning with nauseating happiness.A woman I didn't recognize was cleaning up empty bottles.She noticed me looking around. "Luna has excellent taste, doesn't she?" she said politely. "Alpha has changed so much since she moved in. He adores her. Renovated the entire place just for her."Adoration. Change. All for her.I found Alex slumped on a leather couch, looking miserable.He was drunk, but not happy drunk. Sad drunk."Sylvia," he said blearily, looking at me with unfocused eyes. "You came

Her expression shifted, becoming cold and calculating."Fine," she spat. "You want the truth? Yes, it's Kane's baby. Kane Morrison, Alpha of the Eastern Rogues. And you know what? I'm glad."She stood up, her fear replaced by vicious satisfaction."You think you're so much better than everyone else, don't you? The great Alpha Ethan. Well, guess what? You got played by a pregnant omega and a rogue pack."She laughed bitterly."Are you regretting it now? Regretting throwing away the one person who actually loved you? Too bad little Sylvia is long gone. She won't be coming back to save you this time."Her laughter echoed off the stone walls as Ethan turned and walked away.Ethan stumbled away from the chaos, his mind completely numb.Without realizing it, he found himself outside my old apartment building.He broke into my former room. It was completely empty, nothing left behind.All the surfaces were covered with a thin layer of dust.On that small, rickety table, there was a piece of p
