All Chapters of Marked by My Fiancé's Brother: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~ Harvey ~ "Alpha, the Luna has a fever, and she refuses to see a doctor," Ella reports. "I gave her the medicine she asked for, but I'm afraid the fever may not break." I frown. If Maya won't go to the clinic, I'll carry her there myself. This is no time for her to be stubborn. "Thank you for telling me, Ella. I'll take care of her." Ella bows and leaves the lounge, and I go straight to Maya's bedroom, slipping inside without knocking. Maya lies on the bed in a blush-pink camisole, one strap slipped down, baring part of her breast — but I pay it no attention; my focus is on her face. I brush a strand of hair away from it. Her skin isn't hot anymore, and she's sweaty — clearly the fever is breaking. But her breathing is uneven, and she looks so fragile, so vulnerable right now. I caress her cheek gently, and she smiles faintly in her sleep, leaning into my touch. Her porcelain skin looks paler than ever, her long dark lashes fluttering faintly, casting shadows beneath her

~ Harvey ~Zev howls angrily, digging his claws into my mind, demanding we go and take care of Maya. And honestly, I want to go to her too.But she has no injuries, and a vampire just attacked her — so an interrogation now is what will get me to the bottom of the vampire threat and protect Maya and the whole pack. Zev is still unsettled, though even he knows I'm being reasonable.The vampire is in the dungeon, and I head there with the vampire prince, a few of his crew, and my warriors. But before we can cross the packhouse toward the underground, Gina appears out of nowhere, blocking our way.She usually doesn't wake before ten, yet here she is at eight, fully dolled up, wearing a pitiful expression. Gina greets Lazar with a bow, then casts her eyes down shyly. "Harvey, can we please talk?""Not now, Gina," I cut her off."Please, I want to explain about the other night. I don't want you to leave me," she pleads, tears forming i

~ Maya ~ Everyone moves toward the meeting room, and I follow until Harvey blocks my way at the entrance. "I think, princess, you're late for work," he says with a faint smile. I raise my chin. "I can catch up by working late. I have every right to know who Dorian is and what the next steps to protect the pack are." "The war council is not a playground, Maya. It's no place for you," he fires back. I will never let anyone belittle me again. And definitely not him. I flip my hair and stare him dead in the eyes. "I just extracted crucial intel for you, so I have every right to sit in this room. Until you reject me, I am your Luna, and I demand to be treated as one." I expect him to argue, but to my surprise, he simply steps aside, sweeping a hand toward the door in a welcoming gesture. "After you, Luna. But later, we're definitely going to have that chat. I'm very curious to know ho

~ Maya ~Once the doctor confirms the pup is fine, I can finally breathe with full lungs. And right now, I'm so exhausted I just want to collapse into bed. I'd love to check on Gladys, but my battery is completely drained.I cut through the dark lounge toward my bedroom — and his scent hits me first, before I notice the figure sitting on the sofa. The lights flick on."You're so hardworking, Maya — staying at the office this late," Harvey mutters, narrowing his eyes."He knows you lied," Kitty says, and I freeze. Even my lie on the phone failed, and in person, he'll sense it easily if I don't tell the truth. And I absolutely cannot let him find out about the pup."Don't lie — but don't tell the whole truth either," Kitty suggests."Actually, I wasn't only at work," I say, approaching the sofa where he sits. He leans forward, waiting for me to continue. "I wasn't feeling well — I had a fever yesterday — so I stopped by a clinic fo

~ Harvey ~ I don't even notice I'm walking hand in hand with Maya. Her hand fits perfectly in mine, and I like the feel of her skin against my own. It feels natural, like it's meant to be — and it shouldn't. The closer I get to Maya, the harder it will be to part — and I hate that she fills more of my mind every day, crowding out thoughts of Gina, while Gina is starting to feel more like a liability than the woman I love. Zev is quiet now — not even a sharp remark or a jab. He just sinks into the moment, savouring Maya's presence and the way she's slowly warming toward us. But I can feel that Maya is unsettled. Is it because I took her hand without asking? Or is she shy that I'll drive her to work and her colleagues will see? As we reach the manor exit, Maya mumbles, "Harvey, I appreciate your support, but honestly I feel fine — it's not a big deal, and I have a meeting this morning that I really don't want to skip." "Graham can handle it. Your health comes first," I reply flatly,
