Semua Bab Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Marilyn’s POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the silence.Soft, warm morning light leaked through the curtains, touching the wooden walls of the penthouse with a gentle glow. The air smelled cleaner than anything I’d ever breathed in my life,fresh pine, cold river water, and something warm and steady.Liam.I blinked, pushing myself up slowly. My head felt light, like I’d slept for days. My body didn’t ache, but there was a strange heaviness inside me, a leftover echo of something intense and wild. My wolf shifted faintly under my skin, still sore, still shy.Then the memories rose.His arms holding me,his breath against my cheek,his voice trembling as he tried to calm me, his fingers brushing my skin.His lips… close. Too close.Heat shot up my neck.It was all foggy, like a dream half-dissolved in morning light, but the feelings were real enough to make my stomach twist. I remembered leaning into him, clinging to him, wanting things I didn’t understand. I remembered

Marilyn’s POV(The shift back, the jacket, and Caroline’s call)The world was different.Sharper, clearer, different.But when Liam stepped toward me, everything inside me relaxed. His scent reached me, pine, smoke, something deep and warm and my wolf leaned into it without fear.He knelt in front of me, eyes shining.“Marilyn,” he whispered. “Shift back, sweetheart. It’s okay. I’ll catch you.”I didn’t know how to shift back. I didn’t know anything. But the way he spoke… so gentle… my wolf trusted him.My body tingled. My paws weakened. Light flashed, bones tightened and moved. I let the feeling wash through me and then I was on my knees again, human, shaking and breathless.“Oh God.”I hugged my arms around myself, suddenly freezing.Before I could panic, Liam moved fast,wrapping me in his black jacket. It was huge on me, warm, smelling like him. He didn’t stare at my body, didn’t touch me where I didn’t want him to. He held the jacket around me and looked into my eyes like I had ju

Marilyn’s POVI stood thinking about a lot of things, i didn’t know how long I stood on the porch.The woods around the penthouse were calm,birds singing somewhere far away, the leaves barely moving. But inside me everything was loud. My heartbeat. My thoughts. Liam’s last look before I shut the door close.I hugged myself, trying to feel steady. I didn’t.Finally, the sound of a car engine broke through the silence. Fast. Too fast. Tires crunching over gravel.Caroline.The blue hatchback screeched to a stop in front of the penthouse, the door flying open before the engine even settled. Caroline jumped out, eyes wide, hair a mess like she had driven without blinking.The moment she saw me…..Her expression collapsed.“Oh my God, Marilyn.”I wanted to be strong. I wanted to be calm. I wanted to look like someone who had everything under control.But the second her arms opened…I broke.A sob ripped out of me so suddenly it startled even me. My knees went weak, and Caroline caught me, p

Liam’s POVThe sun was sinking when I reached the pack house, but everything around me felt cold.I walked through the front doors without looking at anyone, without acknowledging the bowing wolves, without greeting my guards. My chest ached in a way I had never experienced before not even in battle, not even when I buried warriors I had led. This pain was different. Sharper. Personal.It felt like something inside me had cracked open.Rowan and Helena hurried behind me immediately, both silent, both sensing the storm still raging in my mind.I didn’t stop walking until I reached my office. I slammed the door behind us harder than necessary. Books on a shelf trembled from the force.Rowan set his jaw. “Alpha… talk to us.”Helena stepped forward, her brows furrowed deeply. “Where is she?”I shook my head once. That was all I could manage at first.The moment I opened my mouth, the words tasted bitter.“She left.”Rowan’s eyes widened. Helena sucked in a sharp breath.“She left?” Rowan

Liam’s POVFuck itMorning came sooner than I expected, but I didn’t go back to my room.I couldn’t stand the thought of being alone with my thoughts, with the weight pressing on my chest like a physical thing. The night air felt heavy as I walked through the pack house corridors, my steps slow, uneven.Nothing inside me felt settled.Not my wolf.Not my heart.Not my mind.Rowan was in the training hall when I found him, sitting on the bench near the weapon racks, wiping sweat from his neck with a towel. He looked up the moment he sensed me, his body straightening.“Alpha,” he said. Then his eyes narrowed slightly. “You look like hell.”I didn’t answer right away. I stopped a few feet from him, staring at the floor like it might give me answers.“I messed up,” I finally said.Rowan stiffened. “What happened?”I laughed quietly, but there was no humor in it. “Everything.”He stood slowly, tossing the towel aside. “Talk to me.”I hesitated. Shame crawled up my spine, thick and bitter. I
