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 88Kyle."Alpha Jason didn't mention that part," Liam said quietly. "He told us there was a misunderstanding during a bond maintenance session.""A misunderstanding," I repeated, fighting to keep my voice level. "Is that what you call assault?""Perhaps Luna Ella should explain what happened," Elder Katrina suggested gently. "From the beginning."Ella took a deep breath and stood. She told them everything. About Jason's confession of feelings weeks ago, his claim that the bond made him love her, how she'd tried to maintain boundaries. She described the unwanted kiss in detail, the way she'd pushed him away, the fear in her chest when she realized what was happening. She explained my violent reaction, how I'd shifted and attacked before conscious thought could stop me.Her voice stayed steady throughout, though I could see her hands shaking slightly.When she finished, silence filled the room.The female Silver Fang elder spoke first. "Did Alpha Jason give any indication these feelings w

Chapter: Chapter 87Kyle.I woke Sunday morning to find Ella sitting at the foot of my bed in Marcus's guest room, watching me sleep."How long have you been here?" I asked, my voice rough."Twenty minutes. Marcus let me in." She twisted her hands in her lap. "I know you said you needed space, but I can't do this, Kyle. I can't spend another night wondering if you still love me."I sat up, rubbing my face. "I never stopped loving you.""Then come home. Please. Come home and let's fix this together instead of apart."My wolf stirred, agreeing with her. We'd spent the entire night pacing and restless, wanting our mate close even while our pride kept us away."Okay," I said finally. "Let me get dressed."Ella's face lit up with relief so pure it made my chest ache. "Really?""Really. You're right. We need to face this together."Twenty minutes later, we were back at the Alpha mansion. The house felt different somehow, like something had shifted in the foundation. Or maybe that was just me.We sat in the liv

Chapter: Chapter 86Kyle."Because I'm stronger than that. Because I know the difference between supernatural influence and real feelings. And because I love you more than anything in this world," Ella said."You say that now. But what about in six months? A year? What happens when the bond keeps growing stronger and you start feeling those things again?""That won't happen.""You can't promise that. Neither of us can. We don't know how this bond works or what it might do to any of us."Ella moved closer, trying to take my hand again. I let her this time, too tired to pull away."Kyle, I understand you're scared. I'm scared too. What happened today terrified me. But we can't let fear destroy what we have.""I'm not trying to destroy anything. I'm trying to protect what's mine.""I'm not a possession to be protected. I'm your mate. Your partner. Your equal.""I know that." Frustration bled into my voice. "But watching another man kiss you triggered every possessive instinct I have. My wolf wants him dead,

Chapter: Chapter 85Kyle.The whiskey burned going down but did nothing to erase the image seared into my brain.I'd been sitting in Marcus's guest room for three hours now, staring at the same spot on the wall, replaying those seconds over and over. Jason's hand on Ella's cheek. His lips pressing against hers. The look on her face when she realized I was watching.My wolf prowled beneath my skin, demanding we go back and finish what we started. Demanding Jason's blood, his death, his complete and total destruction for daring to touch what was ours.But Ella's voice kept echoing in my head. "He kissed me without consent. That's assault, not betrayal."She was right. I knew she was right. I'd seen her push him away. Seen her anger and fear. She was the victim here, not the villain.So why couldn't I stop feeling like something had been stolen from me?"Kyle?" Marcus's voice came through the door. "Ella's here."My heart lurched. "Tell her I'm not ready.""She's not leaving until you talk to her. Been sitt

Chapter: Chapter 84Ella.They collided with earth-shaking force. Kyle's superior size and rage gave him the advantage, but Jason fought with desperate determination. They rolled across the parking lot, crushing a motorcycle beneath them, denting car doors, leaving trails of blood everywhere they went."Someone do something!" I screamed at the other wolves. "Separate them! Don't just stand there!"Four Crescent Moon wolves moved in from one side. Four Silver Fang wolves moved in from the other. They formed a circle around the fighting Alphas, waiting for an opening.Kyle's teeth found Jason's front leg. Bone crunched. Jason's wolf screamed and tried to pull away. Kyle held on, shaking his head violently, trying to rip the leg off entirely."Now!" Marcus's human voice cut through the chaos. He'd shifted back. "Grab them now!"Eight wolves lunged simultaneously. Four grabbed Kyle, jaws clamping down on his legs and scruff, holding him in place with combined strength. Four grabbed Jason the same way, pulli

Chapter: Chapter 83Ella.The kiss lasted less than two seconds before my brain caught up with reality.I shoved Jason away with every ounce of strength I had. He stumbled backward, eyes wide with shock at his own actions."What the hell are you doing?" The words tore from my throat, shaking with rage and fear and disbelief. "I told you no! I told you I don't feel that way!""Ella, I'm sorry. I just had to know if you felt anything. If there was any chance that…""I feel NOTHING." I cut him off, fury burning through me like wildfire. "Nothing romantic. You're connected to me through supernatural necessity, Jason, but that's ALL. How dare you kiss me without consent! How dare you take something that wasn't yours to take!"Jason's face crumpled. "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I just…""You weren't thinking?" My voice rose higher. "Do you have any idea what you've done? What this means? Kyle trusted me. He trusted us. And you just destroyed everything with your selfishness!""I know. I know, and I'm so sorr
