Desired To Be Theirs.

OBSIDIAN PACK (PART TWO)

I see her as a woman, not my cousin, and I can't help it at times.

I knew she had feelings for me, so I pretended not to know how she felt about me.

If I acknowledged how she feels about me, I would go nuts.

And I don’t want to hurt her.

So, I wanted to keep our feelings for each other unknown.

But the more I tried to hide it, the harder it gets for me to keep it in.

Our parents aren’t on good terms. It would take a long battle for us to be together because our parents hate each other so much.

They pretend to hide it but the contempt in their eyes speaks volumes.

My parents hate the Alpha King.

And I hate him too for trying to kill my parents countless times in his crafty ways and how he scorns at us whenever he gets the chance.

I understand why my mother hates him and wants one of us to take over him when he dies.

In simple words, she wants to kill him and wants us to take over the clan.

My father had been his puppet for years and my mother seeing her husband every day bowing and licking the Alpha King’s feet created a dark heart in my mother.

My father was supposed to be the Alpha King of the Obsidian Howlers pack.

My uncle snatched the throne from him and made him his dog.

And treated us like we weren’t part of the family and my father didn’t want to cause a rebellion.

He has his family to protect. Creating a rebellion wouldn’t save our asses.

It was better lying like a dog on the floor and keeping his family safe than losing us.

A fish with his mouth closed wouldn’t get caught.

“Insane?”

“You are putting your life in danger because of that witch. Stop being all over like she is your life. I want you to stop seeing her and stay inside the palace where you belong.”

“Mother.”

“She has the world under her feet while you are nothing but the son of a puppet. Why do you think the Alpha King uses you for his entertainment? You are a naïve little fool. I don’t care if she is your fated mate. If she is the one who is supposed to save you. I’m ending this today. Do not meet her again. She is bad news.”

“A bad omen, for sure.” Leo added.

“Fated mates are extinct. Who does that these days?”

“I heard the priestess announce it when father rescued Liam and Aurora from their kidnappers or something.”

“That’s awful. Fated mates. Soul mates. In the 21st century? In this day and age? Come on, tell me this is a joke. The moon goddess isn’t playing with our asses, isn’t she?”

“She sure does.”

I popped out the question. “I thought once werewolves meet their fated mates, they wouldn’t be able to resist each other.”

My elder brothers burst out in laughter and my mother’s cold eyes almost froze me to death.

“If you utter one more word about Aurora again, I will cut off your tongue. Stay away from her.”

I knew those words weren’t just empty words. She would truly cut off my tongue, but the only difference wouldn’t be my tongue she would rip off.

It would be Aurora’s tongue.

She is threatening me to stay away from Aurora or she would show her true colors and harm her.

Saying that I would do nothing about it.

My father is a puppet, and a cold-hearted bastard, but my mother is much worse.

Once she sets her mind on something, nothing changes it.

My elder brothers were nothing but jerks and losers.

With a long sigh, I replied. “Yes, mother."

"I don't want to see you around her again. This is my last warning. Cousins are not meant to sleep with each other. It's a taboo. Always remember that if you don't want to be shot in the head."

I was sleeping on my bed when I felt someone knocking on my window.

I got up from the bed and walked to the window.

I looked around me for a second before opening the window, and Aurora jumped at me as she shifted back to her human form.

Naked.

My bewilderment grew as I stared at her breast.

“Ummm…Liam.” She jerked me out of my thoughts.

“Huh! Oh! Aurora.” I sighed and shifted her body off me to go get her a blanket and covered her body with it. "Why didn't you bring extra clothes when you were coming?"

“Is it true you are leaving the pack?” Her eyes beamed with tears.

“What! Who told you that?”

“My brothers. I heard them talking about you.” She yelled and stood up from the floor and faced me. “Please don’t leave the pack. I’m begging you.”

“Aurora, this is not the time—”

“I had to sneak in here to come see you. Please, don’t go away, Liam. What am I gonna do if you leave me?”

“Aurora, stop.”

“I haven’t seen you for a long time. Please don’t do this to me.”

What should I say to make her understand me?

“I love you, Liam.” She blurted out, and I had to close her mouth to not speak any further.

“Aurora.” I whispered. “Shut up. You know you are in my bedroom. How could you come—”

“Answer me, Liam.” she demanded, as tears streamed down her cheeks.

How could she confess her feelings to me? This was happening so fast.

I wasn’t expecting her to confess to me. Does she know what she is getting herself into?

“Aurora.” She came over to me and kissed me on my lips.

Damn! She was tempting to resist. I almost lost control of myself and my d**k got hard.

I gently pushed her away from me with a little pant, looking down at my feet.

Her scent smelled so good.

“Liam.” she whispered, and I looked up at her. “Stop coming here. If anyone finds out you are here, it wouldn’t turn out nice to any of us. So stop doing this.”

“Do you hate me?”

“I could never hate you, Aurora, but I can’t love you.”

“Why? We are fated mates. Why can’t you love me? Is it because of my father?”

“No.” I replied with a dark look.

“Then tell me what it is.”

“Do you truly wish to know what it is, Aurora?”

“Why wouldn’t I wanna know what it is?”

My mother wants us to stop seeing each other and if I tell her, she wouldn’t listen to me.

We froze when we both heard a knock at the door.

“Prince Liam.”
