All Chapters of Falling for my bestfriend’s Alpha brother : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Marilyn’s POVI woke before dawn with my heart racing, my sheets damp beneath my palms.Something was wrong.Not the kind of wrong that came from bad dreams or restless sleep, but the kind that crawled beneath my skin and refused to be ignored. My wolf stirred uneasily inside me, pacing as if trapped in a narrow space, brushing against my thoughts with sharp, anxious nudges.The pack felt… loud.Not in sound, but in emotion. Fear hummed through the air like an electric current, brushing against my senses even from inside the Alpha’s chamber. I pressed my hand to my chest and tried to steady my breathing.This is the bond, I told myself. This is what it means to be Luna.Still, unease clung to me.I had just swung my legs over the edge of the bed when a howl pierced the early morning air.It wasn’t a challenge. It wasn’t a call.It was grief.I was on my feet instantly, throwing on a cloak and rushing into the hallway just as doors opened around me. Wolves emerged half-dressed, eyes wi

When the Crimson Wolf HowledMarilyn’s POVThe pack house had been unusually tense all day.Ever since the elders’ meeting, Liam had been more guarded than usual, calm on the surface, but sharp underneath, like a blade hidden in silk. When word spread that the Alpha of the Crimson Pack was visiting, the tension shifted, becoming heavier, and more political.Alpha Daniel of the Crimson Pack was not someone to ignore.Even in the city, I had heard stories. Crimson wolves were known for their strength, their discipline, and their ruthlessness when threatened. Their territory bordered ours to the west, and disputes over land had always simmered beneath the surface.Caroline and I waited near the lower corridor, pretending not to eavesdrop while Liam, Rowan, Helena, and the visiting Alpha met upstairs in Liam’s office.“They’ve been in there for hours,” Caroline whispered, peeking around the pillar for the fifth time.“Territory negotiations take time,” I replied, though my attention kept

Marilyn’s POV Night had settled quietly over the pack house, but my mind refused to rest. I lay beside Liam, staring at the dark canopy above us, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Caroline’s face, soft, glowing, and completely undone by the bond she hadn’t even been searching for. Daniel would take her away. Not tomorrow. Not suddenly. But eventually. The thought tightened something painful in my chest. “Liam?” I whispered. He stirred instantly, turning toward me. “I’m here.” I swallowed. “What if… what if she leaves?” His brow furrowed slightly. “Caroline?” I nodded, rolling onto my side to face him. “She’s already halfway gone. I can feel it. The way she looks at him… like the world shrank down to just the two of them.” Liam reached out, brushing his thumb gently along my arm. “That doesn’t mean she’s leaving you.” “But it does,” I said quietly. “He’s an Alpha. He has a pack. A home. She’ll go with him, and I’ll be here,

Liam’s POVNight settled over the pack slowly, like a deep breath after a long day.From the balcony outside my office, I could see the torches lining the main path flicker as Daniel’s group prepared to rest before their full departure at dawn. Crimson Pack wolves moved with quiet efficiency, setting up temporary quarters near the outer grounds. Everything was calm. Respectful.Still, my attention wasn’t on them.It was on Caroline.She stood near Daniel, her hand resting easily in his. Not stiff. Not uncertain. Comfortable.That was the part that surprised me the most.I had expected nerves. Tears. Second thoughts.Instead, Caroline looked… settled. Like something restless inside her had finally found a place to rest.Daniel leaned closer, murmuring something in her ear. She laughed softly, tilting her head back just enough to look up at him. The bond between them hummed in the air, new, bright, and unmistakable.I had seen mates before. Claimed couples. Bonded pairs.This was differ

By evening, the forest had changed its tone.The sunlight that once filtered brightly through the trees had softened, turning golden and amber, as though the land itself was preparing for rest. I walked beside Liam, my fingers brushing his occasionally, while Rowan followed a few steps behind us, alert, quiet, and respectful.The seer’s house appeared almost suddenly.It was small, tucked away as if the forest had chosen to hide it rather than expose it. Vines crept up the wooden walls, and herbs hung drying from the eaves, releasing a scent that was unfamiliar yet calming. The air around the place felt… heavy. Not threatening, but just aware. As though the land here listened more closely.I slowed without realizing it.“You feel it too,” Liam murmured.I nodded. “It’s like the house is breathing.”Rowan shifted uncomfortably. “She’s always been like this. Makes even the bravest wolves uneasy.”Before either of them could knock, the door opened.She stood there, small, thin, her silve
