MARKED BY MY BROTHER’S BESTFRIEND 022
~~ THORNE ~~ “I can command you because you’re in my pack, Aria,” I tell her.She scoffs like my words mean nothing. Her eyes burn into mine with defiance that both angers and excites me. “I don’t fucking care if I’m in your pack or not,” she says. “I have Alpha blood running through my veins just like you.” Her words hit something deep inside me.I see that fire in her never fails to affect me. And make my control slip in ways I hate. I had always loved this side of her. Even when we were younger, she never bowed easily because u thought her not to.She challenges me, pushes me, and makes me feel things I never want to feel.Even now, standing in front of me with her chin raised, she looks powerful, beautiful, and Untouchable.And it makes me want to break that distance between us. Just like I did a few minutes ago.But I force those thoughts down because I can’t afford to lose control again like I did just now.Especially not after the way she looked at me just now when I apolog

~~ ARIA ~~I dial the phone number with shaky fingers and hold the phone tightly against my ear. My heart beats faster with every ring, and I find myself holding my breath without meaning to.When the third ring sounds, the call connects, and I straighten on the bed.My chest rises and falls as I wait for her to speak first. “Hello?” Her voice comes softly.“It’s me,” I say. My voice comes out calmer than I feel. “But before we talk any further, I need you to understand something.” She stays quiet. “If you lie to me again, I won’t be able to help you,” I say firmly. There is silence on the other end. I can hear her breathing, uneven and nervous. Then she sighs, and the sound carries pain with it. “My name is not Annabel,” she admits quietly. “My name is Sophia Turner.” I close my eyes for a second, taking that in. I’m not surprised, but hearing her admit it makes everything feel more real.My fingers tighten around the phone, and I nod as though she can see me. “Where is your

~~ ARIA ~~ Ethan suddenly tells me to wait outside. Then he goes inside Thorne’s study.I stand there alone in the hallway, staring at the closed door in front of me, even though I wanted to rush in with him.But no, that would make me look desperate.My arms are folded tightly across my chest, and I can feel the heat of embarrassment crawling up my neck.I have an idea of why Thorne refuses to see me. He is avoiding me because of what happened between us a moment back. Because of the kiss.And maybe because of the way he touched me like he wanted me.It makes my chest ache in a way I do not want to admit. I press my lips together and look away from the door, trying to calm myself. His behavior feels childish to me.He is the one who started it, and now he is acting like I am the problem and some mistake he doesn’t want to face.It makes anger and shame mix inside me, leaving a bitter feeling in my chest. Still, I wait there.I tell myself it is because I need my phone, but deep do

~~ THORNE ~~ “And who do you think you are to give me a condition? I need my sister returned to me before nightfall, Thorne,” Alec snaps. I lean back in my chair slowly, holding the phone firmly against my ear as his angry voice echoes through it. His words are filled with authority, but I can hear the fear beneath them. He is not as calm as he wants me to believe. That realization makes a faint smile form on my lips because it means I still have the upper hand. “I guess you are not ready to see your sister then,” I say calmly. I make sure my voice stays steady and smirk, knowing he cannot see it.In my mind, I imagine his face twisting in anger and helplessness.Alec is used to being in control and making demands, but now he is the one forced to listen, and this gives me a dark sense of satisfaction.Silence follows my words, and I can hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.He is trying to calm himself, trying not to lose control completely.As I wait, my finger

~~ THORNE ~~ I hate myself for what just happened, and I hate my body even more.My hands are still slightly shaking as I walk down the hallway, and I can still feel the warmth of her skin on my palms. Her scent clings to me like it has marked me, and no matter how hard I try, I cannot escape it.It follows me with every step, reminding me of what almost happened in her room. I clench my jaw and keep walking. My chest feels tight, and my thoughts refuse to slow down. I can still see her lying on the bed, her lips parted in a silent moan, her nipples in my mouth, her eyes filled with confusion and something else that makes my control snap. I want her, and not just want. I need her in a way that makes no sense. Especially since I already know that human men have touched her. And that is what angers me the most. “Thorne, did something happen?” Ethan’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts. He is standing near the entrance of my study, his posture straight and his eyes carefully watch

~~ ARIA ~~ The note read, “Alpha Magnus is going to kill my mom if I don’t bring you back to him. Please, you have to help me. My mom is all I have left. I’m a useless omega in his pack, and I’m wolfless just like you. Surely you can understand what it means. You can call me for us to talk more,” the note reads. My eyes widen more, and my breath catches after reading the note. I feel a shiver run through me as I realize how desperate Annabel is, and her words hit me harder than I expected. Another wolfless woman, helpless and trapped in a pack that will use her as they please. I can feel a knot forming in my chest. I know exactly what that kind of fear feels like, even though when I was younger, Thorne would always tell me to act untouchable. I sink back onto my bed, clutching the note, trying to think even though my stupid thoughts keep drifting to Thorne, though. Even after he left, his presence still lingers in the room. His lips, his hands, the epic way he hovered
