Fang’s POV
My wolf-less sister thought she was the sh!t now because two alphas wanted to fvck her. I would show her. I had no idea where Maze’s surge of overprotectiveness had come from. Thaddeus was always into babying Friday from the start. I fumed. I had been sitting in a tiny bar, nursing the same drink since Maze had used his alpha voice on me.
It was midnight. I was thinking things through and I realised if Friday picked Maze, she could still mess up things for me by acting the victim all the time, but if she picked Thaddeus, Maze would think I was a contributing factor to Friday wanting to leave Marigold. I smashed my glass to pieces, startling the bartender. He didn’t say anything. He recognised me as the Beta. He was smart enough to know his place. Either way, Friday was going to mess it all up for me. I sighed. Getting rid of her would be hard. I would be such an obvious suspect. Those two alphas would want bl00d if their little prize was snatched from their clutches. I’d have to forgo getting rid of her for now. She was too well looked after. One suitor or the other would notice her missing for more than five minutes and that would be it.
The only other option was to get in her good graces. I wasn’t lying when I told her I didn’t completely hate her. I certainly didn’t love her: she was a disgrace and an embarrassment to the Fenestra family name but now she was cherished goods. So, I would cherish her too until I came up with a better plan.
Thaddeus’ POV
Finally, another day with my sweet Friday. I was upset about her ar0usal for Maze yesterday but I was prepared to forgive her. She could not help feeling things for both of us because neither mate-bond had been severed. I remembered how furious Maze was the day I first met Friday. He had smelled her ar0usal for me and came bursting in the door. I sighed. I had a surprise for my little Luna, to help her feel like a real werewolf. Wolf-less or not, she belonged with wolves. Her parents were werewolves, her father a j.erk but still a Beta, her eldest brother a psychopath but still a Beta too and both of her fated mates Alphas. She was surrounded by powerful werewolves for a reason. There was power within her too even if she never phased.
I thought back to Maze jacking Fang up against the wall. At least, Maze and I were seeing eye to eye these days. I walked into the Alpha dining room bright and early surprised to find Theo and Fang there. Maze was behind his newspapers. My sweet little Friday was still sleeping. I wanted to go k!ss her awake and see her cute little expression of surprise when she woke to find me adoring her first thing in the morning. There was no rule saying I could not just cuddle her in bed all day as long as I did not technically mate or mark her. However, that would take great restraint the more bedroom time we spent together.

I pulled Theo into a bear h.ug. He actually lifted me off the ground. I laughed uproariously. Theo was an incredibly strong Beta, especially to lift my seven-foot self. I always won at arm wrestling though ever since we were cubs. I was his Alpha after all. I ignored Fang on principle. I muttered “Good morning” to Maze.
“What’re you doing here, beast?” I asked Theo.
Theo laughed. “Fang woke me up at the crack of dawn to go on a hike and then he suggested we have breakfast with you two and Friday.”
What? I did not trust Fang one bit.
He’s up to something, I mind-linked Theo.
Yeah, I know, Thaddeus, but I figured I’d oblige him so I can keep an eye on him, said Theo.
Ok, sure, just remember Friday’s safety is the top priority so if any of his suggestions involve him being alone with his sister then no, I said.
Definitely, said Theo.
Maze looked up from his newspaper at Fang. The suspicion in the Alpha’s eyes as he regarded his Beta was evident.
“Regardless of which Alpha ends up with Friday, I won’t see her as much once she’s married so I wanted to have some big brother, baby sister time. I know I acted like a fool yesterday. I think it was the shock of seeing Friday act se.xual. She’s my little sister. It was a lot to witness,” Fang said.
“You wouldn’t have witnessed it if you hadn’t spied on her, champ,” said Theo.
Ha!
Just then, Friday walked in. She was in a tiny lacy white dress. She looked delicious. Her legs were so beautiful. Her wide eyes regarded me cautiously. I could tell she was worried about my reaction to her after seeing her aroused because of Maze.
“Good morning, beautiful,” I said, raising my glass to her.
“Good morning, Friday,” said Maze, actually smiling. Should I be worried?
“Good morning, everyone,” she said sweetly, eyeing her brother nervously.
Before I could attend to her as I usually did, her weirdo brother started fussing over her. Why was he so obsessed with her? One minute, he hated her, the next he was worried about her being far away from him. Of course, the latter was bllsht. I had no doubt he still harboured ill-will towards Friday. He was just hiding it much better.
Friday’s POV
I showered and put on the shortest, se.xiest dress I dared to wear for a daytime date with Thaddeus. I knew he was angry about my ar0usal for Maze yesterday. I needed to take his mind off of that. My body, mind and heart were really craving him so I didn’t want any of this day wasted on talking about yesterday. I would distract him with this dress. It was a white lace micro mini dress with short sleeves and a sweetheart neckline that showed some cleavage. It was fitted at the wa!st then flared out playfully. I put on ballerina flats because I had no idea what we were doing. I did my hair and makeup as prettily as I could. My shoulders hurt every time I had to raise my arms to fix my hair.
I walked into the Alpha dining room to find my two Alphas and their two Betas. Beta Theo smiled warmly at me. Both my Alphas said good morning to me and Fang sprang to his feet.
Fang loaded my plate up with a bunch of eggs and sausages. I tried to add some chocolate chip waffles but he stopped me.
“Try today,” suggested Slogan.
