"Rejected by My Werewolf Soulmate, I Turned to His Alpha Brother"

"When my childhood friend Liam first awakened his werewolf nature, his friend called me over to help him ease the symptoms. But Liam said: "I really don't want to give her the satisfaction. We werewolves are the most loyal in love. Whoever we mark for the first time becomes our lifelong, sole mate." "Even if Aria begs to help me when she gets here, I'll have to resist." But no matter how long he waited, I never showed up. He didn't know that his brother's bodyguard had been blowing up my phone: "Miss Aria, the young master has long considered you his only mate." "Please, could you come and give him a kiss?" It turns out that five years ago, when I had a fatal skiing accident and fell into a ravine, his brother saved me by marking me and sharing half of his werewolf lifespan, snatching me back from the clutches of death. Late that night, I wrapped my arms around his brother's neck and coaxed, "Declan, don't hold back. Tell me, how many years have you been secretly in love with me?" 1 Liam's family all had the werewolf gene. After turning 20, they would go into heat every full moon. Whoever they marked for the first time would become their lifelong, sole mate. I thought the person Liam wanted to mark was definitely me. But when he first awakened his werewolf nature, his friend called me over to help him ease the symptoms. Instead, I overheard Liam saying irritably outside the private room: "I really don't want to give Aria the satisfaction." "I want to pursue the campus beauty, but she's not an easy girl." "Unlike Aria, who's like an eager puppy, always at my beck and call." "When she gets here, even if she begs to help me, I'll have to resist." "I don't want to sleep with her and end up tied to her for life, completely under her thumb." Standing outside the room, my mind went blank. I never imagined that Liam, who had grown up with me, saw me this way. His friends, always quick to jump on the bandwagon, all laughed: "So in your eyes, she's just a plaything." "Why don't I call and tell her not to come? Save her from taking advantage of you tonight and trying to climb the social ladder through your bed. To be honest, I think you get what you pay for." But Liam stopped his friend from making the call, saying uncomfortably: "Forget it. If we tell her not to come now, what will she think?" "Even if she's just a plaything, she's the one I've spoiled since childhood. I can't bear to hurt her feelings." "When she gets here, I'll see if I can resist touching her." "There are some things I don't want to spell out. This is a good opportunity to let her see things clearly." At that moment, I wanted to burst in and shout at Liam: "You can't bear to hurt my feelings, yet you compare me to an eager puppy in front of your friends, letting them mock and belittle me? You don't deserve my infatuation!" But I held back. Why waste words on someone who doesn't cherish me? I turned and fled the scene, tel...
