The Party

Macy's POV

The party started, and the crowd trooped in, it was a big party with so many dignitaries in attendance, and it made me wonder just how rich the Torres was, well, that is a question for another day.

“Now aren’t you the most gorgeous woman under this roof.”

Derick’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. I smiled at his words, he always knows how to put a smile on my face. “Thanks, babe,”

“Common dance with me.” He takes me up to the dance floor, and we start dancing to the music,

I noticed most of the ladies staring longingly at Derick and eyeing me evilly like I stole something that was theirs, I ignored them and just had fun with my man who just couldn’t stop looking at me, We danced for a while until my bladder screamed for a release and I excused myself to the ladies room.

Done with my business, I went back to the party, I noticed I was being watched, and I couldn’t see who, but I had this feeling I just couldn’t fathom I felt like I was being drawn to someone, but who?

Derick comes over to me, and I am so happy to see him right now, he whispers in my ears and I giggle at his words, then he kisses me, it was a short one. He pulls away and stares in a direction with a smile on his face, I follow his gaze and see a tall man in a tux standing with both hands in his pocket and staring right back at us.

Derick drags me by my arm over to where the man is standing, and I follow suit. “Hey Liam, bro, I missed you, how have you been?” I hear Derick say to the gorgeous man in front of us who doesn’t say a word but rather stares at me with a faceless expression, which causes me to gulp hard,

“ I Have been good brother,” He finally answers after glancing at me for a minute

“ I want you to meet someone special.” Derick says, holding my hands, “Meet my Girlfriend, Macy,” Mr. Gorgeous merely stares at me without a single emotion on his face.

“ Nice to meet you,” I say with my hands stretched out, Mr. Gorgeous just looked at my hands and at that moment turned his back and walked out of the room, leaving my hands hanging.

What the hell just happened, why did he walk out like that, I felt embarrassed by his actions. Derick too looked confused at his brother’s actions, “I am so sorry about that babe, I think he got distracted.”

“ You’ve been talking about your brother for a while now, and I have been wanting to meet him because he's the only one in your family that I haven’t met, and he does this!.”

“ I apologize on his behalf about his behavior babe, something must be up because he doesn’t behave like this?”

“ I think he dislikes me, Derick.”

“ Do not sound that way, I know my brother, and he is not like that, just relax okay.”

LIAM

I ran out of the pack house hurt, My wolf was howling in my head for us to go back to our mate, to claim and mark her right there, but that was the last thing I wanted now. I knew I should not have run away however my mind was in a frenzy, It took everything in me to control my wolf, the bond called unto her and I wanted to take her into my arms and kiss her, but that would hurt my brother and shock my mate who is oblivious to who I am to her.

I ran fast to the woods out back, and I burst into my wolf, allowing Rage to take control while I retreated to the back of his mind, I don’t know how long we ran for, but I know it was for hours.

I was exhausted after the run. I put on some clothes we normally hide in the woods in case of emergency and walked back to the pack house. Entering the house through the back door, I walked straight to my room, after taking a shower, I heard a knock on my door and I knew instantly it was Mom “Come in Mom, it’s open.”

“ Son, where have you been? You missed out on everything,” she says,

“ I am sorry Mom, I just had some business to attend to.” I lie

“ Are you, okay son? You don’t look well,”

“ I am fine Mom I am just stressed that’s all,”

“ If you say so, join us for dinner since you missed out on the party,”

“ Alright then,” I say and kiss her head.

I enter the kitchen and Rage takes control for a minute, seeing her seated at the table with my family and having dinner. Not only that, but I thought she left, what the hell is she still doing here?

“ Son, are you okay?” Dad says, and everyone turns to look at me, including my mate.

No, I was not okay! I wanted to yell, so everyone understood the pain I was facing right now. The color of my eyes turned to that of my wolf, but I immediately shut it. I groaned inwardly as her intoxicating scent filled the room, it did unimaginable things to my body, and fucking loved every bit of it. I opened my eyes and I smirked at her as our gazes were now fixed on each other, I drowned in those ocean-blue eyes.

Macy had her gaze fixed on Liam the entire time, she felt drawn to him for reasons unknown to her the room was full of tension, and her eyes observed him, Liam moved toward the table and Macy watched closely as he took a seat close to Mom.

“ Alright then let's dig, so the food does not turn cold,” Mom says.
