Filed to story: Claimed by My Ex’s Alpha Brother
“I am so incredibly sorry for keeping my father’s plan for me to marry Olivia a secret from you,” Liam said, his eyes burning with intensity. “That wasn’t right of me. The second I learned of my father’s plans, I should have confided in you, and we could have worked through the problem together. As a team. It was the same mistake I’d made when I broke our bond under the guise of protecting you.”
He took a deep breath and reached for my hand. His thumb traced circles over the back of my hand as he continued.
“From now on, I swear to you that I won’t keep any more secrets. I’ll tell you everything, and we can decide how to move forward. Together. If you just give me a chance to show you that you can trust me, I promise to be worthy of that trust.”
Liam held my other hand and stepped closer to me.
I looked up at him, my heart rate spiking.
“I love you, Ella Wilson. You’re the brightest part of my life. You’re my sun. I want you to be my Mate, my Luna, my wife. Hell, I just want you to be mine,” Liam said and squeezed my hands. “I want to make a home with Grayson and you and introduce you back into the pack as my partner, as my Luna. I want to spend the rest of my life protecting you and Grayson and making sure that you guys have the best life possible.”
It took me a moment to process everything that he had just said.
When I didn’t immediately respond, Liam’s cheeks turned a cute shade of red.
“Of course, I know that you will need some time to trust me again, I just wanted you to know-“
I interrupted him by putting my right pointer finger against his lips.
“No,” I said.
His face fell.
“No…?”
“No more time,” I said and then grinned, using his hand in mine to pull him toward me until our chests were pressing against each other’s. “I want you now. All of it. I’ve been waiting my entire life to be with you, Liam. I don’t want to wait a minute longer. As long as you promise to never keep anything else from me and that this,” I gestured between us, “will be a partnership where we make decisions together,” I warned him.
“I promise, Ella. I swear it.”
“Then, I accept. I want to be your partner. Your Luna. Your wife. I want to be yours,” I said, and my heart filled with happiness.
“You’re mine, just like I’m yours.”
We grinned at each and Liam pulled me into a warm hug. His hands slid through my hair. I lay my head on his shoulder.
When I pulled slightly away, I felt a tug in my chest, pulling me back toward him.
I put my hand over my heart and cocked my head
“Did you just feel that, too?” Liam asked. He had his hand over his chest like mine.
“Yeah, I wonder what that was about-” I gasped as I looked at the small space between us.
The golden thread that had worked so hard to mend itself this past week flickered to life again.
No, it didn’t just flicker.
The golden thread remained, connecting our souls. It was invisible after a moment, but it was still there. I didn’t have to see it in order to sense that my heart and soul were connected to Liam’s.
Our mating bond was mended.
Liam and I’s gazes locked together. His green eyes were gleaming with joy, and his smile was wide and bright.
“The bond…” I trailed off and put a hand over his heart just for the simple desire of wanting to feel it beat.
“It’s back,” Liam said with awe in his tone. He lifted a slightly shaky hand and laid it over my heart, too.
For a moment, we stood in the middle of his room,? feeling the other’s heart pound. Mine was beating for him, just like his was beating for me.
“I love you and Grayson more than anything, Ella,” he murmured with his eyes on mine, his hand covering my heart. With his other hand, he cupped my cheek and drew me closer to him.
Of their own accord, my eyes fluttered closed.
“You and our son are my whole entire world, baby,” Liam whispered. “There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you two.”
He was so close that his warm breath hit my cheek, and I shivered with pleasure.
“Thank you for trusting me with your heart again. I swear that you can trust me with it,” he said, just before he pressed a gentle kiss to my lips.
I savored the sweet kiss, and when he pulled slightly away, I grinned.
“I know I can,” I said and then kissed him again.
Liam POV
*Six months later*
“We look pretty good, don’t we, Dad?” Grayson said as he struck a silly pose in the floor-length mirror.
I laughed and crouched down to fix his lopsided light-blue bowtie.
“We do, buddy,” I said and stood up. “Are you ready to perform your very important job today?”
