Forbidden: My Stepbrother, My Mate
“You're my mate," Kyle whispered, his eyes flashing gold in the dim light.
I stumbled backward. "That's impossible. We're about to be family."
"I know. But the bond doesn't care about that."
He's supposed to be her future stepbrother. In four weeks, their parents are moving in together, and Kyle will be family. Off-limits. Forbidden.
The bond between them is instant. It's the kind of love that can't be ignored, can't be denied. When Kyle looks at her, Ella feels it in her bones, this is forever. This is fate.
Except fate has never been crueler. How can they be together when being together means destroying their family? When every stolen glance across the dinner table is a secret they have to keep? When loving each other means breaking their parents' hearts?
She has two mates.
A Triad Bond. So rare, most wolves think it's just a myth. But it's real, and it's hers, and now Ella has an impossible choice to make.
Kyle is her first bond, her strongest connection. Losing him could break them both. But loving him means hiding, lying, living in the shadows of their own family.
Jason offers her something different. With him, there are no secrets. No forbidden touches. No family dinners where she has to pretend her heart doesn't belong to the boy sitting across from her. Jason can give her everything Kyle can't, a normal life, a real future, a love she doesn't have to hide.
But choosing one mate means hurting the other. And the full moon is coming and time is running out.
And Ella is about to learn that when you're bonded to two Alphas, love isn't about choosing the right person.

Chapter: Chapter 6Ella.By dinner time, most of the boxes were unpacked. The house looked different. Elena's throw pillows on the couch, bright colors that clashed with Mom's old furniture. Her photos on the mantle, smiling strangers in silver frames. Kyle's jacket on the hook by the door.Our home wasn't ours anymore.Dad ordered Chinese food. We ate at the table, all four of us crammed together. Elena kept up cheerful conversation about work and weekend plans. She talked about her job at the bank, about her coworkers, about some funny customer who'd come in last week.Dad responded with equal enthusiasm. Told his own work stories. Laughed too loud at Elena's jokes.Kyle and I said almost nothing.Every time our eyes met across the table, the bond flared. I felt heat crawl up my neck. Saw his pupils dilate. We'd look away fast, but it didn't help.The awareness stayed. Constant. Overwhelming."You two are quiet," Elena observed, serving herself more rice. "Everything okay?""Tired," Kyle said."Long d

Chapter: Chapter 5Ella.The moving truck arrived at eight in the morning on Saturday. I watched from my bedroom window as two men in gray uniforms started unloading boxes. My chest felt tight. This was really happening.Dad was outside already, directing traffic like some kind of excited orchestra conductor. He kept pointing at different boxes and talking with his hands. I could hear his laughter even through the closed window.Elena's car pulled up behind the truck. She got out first, smoothing down her shirt and smiling at my dad. Then Kyle stepped out of the passenger side.The bond yanked hard in my chest. I stumbled backward from the window, pressing my hand against my ribs. He was here. In my driveway. About to move into my house.I sat on my bed and tried to breathe normally. This was fine. Everything was fine. People's parents got remarried all the time. Families blended. This was completely normal.Except for the part where I was supernaturally bonded to my future stepbrother and could feel hi

Chapter: Chapter 4Ella. I left the pack territory with my hands shaking so badly I could barely grip the steering wheel.Two mates. Two werewolf mates. The words kept circling my head like a broken record.I made it three blocks before I had to pull over. Sat in a parking lot, forehead pressed against the wheel, trying to remember how to breathe.My phone buzzed. Text from Dad: "Dinner in twenty. Elena's joining us."Perfect. Just perfect.I drove home, plastered on a smile, and walked into a house that smelled like takeout Chinese.Elena was already there, setting the table like she lived here. Which, in a month, she would."Ella!" She beamed. "How was your day?""Fine," I lied.Dad appeared from the kitchen with plates. "How's Kyle settling in at school? You two talk at all?"The memory of Kyle's arms around me, his scent, the way the bond had hummed with rightness, flashed through my mind."A little," I said."Good, good. It'll be nice when we're all under one roof. A real family."I excused myself

Chapter: Chapter 3Kyle. The moment Jason Torres stepped out of the SUV, I knew we had a problem.He was older than me. Twenty-two, maybe twenty-three. Confident in a way I would never be, with the easy posture of someone who had grown into his Alpha role instead of having it thrust on him. Designer clothes, expensive watch, the kind of put-together appearance that screamed established pack leader.Everything I wasn't.Marcus clasped his hand. "Jason. Good to see you.""Marcus." Jason's smile was polite. "Thanks for agreeing to meet.""Of course. This is my son, Kyle."Jason turned to me, extended his hand. I shook it because refusing would be an insult, but my wolf bristled at the contact. Another Alpha. In our territory."Your father's told me a lot about you," Jason said.I highly doubted that. Marcus barely talked to me unless it was about pack business I wanted nothing to do with."Jason's pack borders ours to the east," my dad explained. "Silver Fang. His father and I had... tensions. But Jason's

Chapter: Chapter 2Ella. I didn't sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Kyle's face. Felt that pull in my chest like a physical ache. At two in the morning, I gave up and opened my laptop.I typed "werewolf mates" into the search bar, felt ridiculous, and hit enter anyway.Thousands of results. Most were fiction…romance novels, fan wikis, and role-playing forums. But buried in the noise, I found older sites. Folklore pages. Mythology databases. References to "true mates" and "bond pairs" that went back centuries.The information was consistent enough to be unsettling.Mate bonds were permanent. Once activated, they couldn't be ignored. Mates could sense each other's emotions, locations, and sometimes even pain. Rejection was possible but caused severe psychological damage. Sometimes physical damage too.And marking, claiming was irreversible.I slammed the laptop shut at four AM, crawled into bed, and spent the next three hours staring at the ceiling.Dad knocked on my door at seven. "You okay, swe

Chapter: Chapter 1Ella. I was reorganizing my bookshelf when Dad texted me to come home early. No explanation, just "important news" and a smiley face emoji he definitely didn't choose himself, my dad didn't do emojis.I clocked out of the bookstore twenty minutes early, drove home trying to guess what this was about. Maybe he finally got that promotion. There was a car in our driveway that I didn't recognize.I parked on the street and walked up to find Dad pacing in the living room. There was a woman on the couch. Blonde, pretty, with a nervous smile. And next to her, a guy about my age.The moment I walked through the door, everything stopped.Not literally. Dad was still talking, the woman was standing up to greet me, but I couldn't hear any of it because there was this…this pull in my chest. Like someone had tied a string around my heart and yanked.The guy was staring at me. Dark hair, sharp jawline, eyes that looked almost gold in the light. He had gone completely still, hands clenched on his
