CLAIMED BY MY STEPBROTHERS
For eighteen years, I believed I was human, the weak, ordinary girl in a house full of powerful wolves.
Then my heat arrived.
Not a normal heat. Something ancient. Something that shattered every lie my parents ever told me.
I'm not human. I'm not just a wolf.
I'm the last alpha-witch hybrid, a creature so dangerous that my existence was erased from history.
And the moment my power awakened, three stepbrothers who barely looked at me for five years suddenly couldn't stay away:
Ronan, the cold heir who will lose everything if he claims me.
Maddox, the violent enforcer whose wolf recognizes me as his.
Alec, the quiet genius whose control shatters every time I'm near.
A triad bond. Forbidden. Punishable by death.
My wolf doesn't care about laws. She marked one of them without asking.
And now a rival Alpha is coming for me, one who believes I belong to him according to an ancient prophecy.
Three stepbrothers. One impossible bond. A prophecy that will destroy us all.
Fate doesn't ask permission.
And when the next heat hits, none of us will be strong enough to resist.

Chapter: CHAPTER 36: CRACKS IN THE FOUNDATIONRONAN'S POVThe week following Leila's successful trial was deceptively peaceful.She integrated into pack life with surprising ease. She trained in the mornings, studied the prophecy in the afternoons, and spent her evenings with her three mates, the bond deepening with each passing day. The pack, having witnessed her power firsthand, became gradually more accepting of her presence.But there were cracks.I saw them in the way certain pack members watched her. In the whispered conversations that stopped the moment any of us entered a room. In the careful distance that had been established between Leila and the rest of the pack.And I saw them most clearly in the way Kira had stopped trying to hide her resentment."We need to address the Kira situation," I said to Father on the eighth day after Leila's trial. We were in his office, discussing pack business, when I decided to bring up what had been bothering me.Father looked up from the reports he'd been reviewing. "The Kira situation

Chapter: CHAPTER 35: THE FIRST TRIALLEILA'S POVThe training yard was packed.I hadn't expected that. I'd assumed that training would be a private affair, just me and my three mates working through whatever constituted Luna preparation.But apparently, word had gotten out. Half the pack had gathered to watch, standing along the edges of the open space, their eyes bright with curiosity and skepticism in equal measure.I recognized some of them from my previous life at the compound, pack members who had tolerated my presence as the "human" stepsister. Others were strangers, wolves I'd never seen before. And then there was Kira, standing directly across from where I stood with Ronan, Maddox, and Alec. Her expression was carefully neutral, but her eyes blazed with something venomous."A Luna's first trial is simple," Ronan explained, his voice pitched to carry to the assembled pack. "She must shift and demonstrate control over both her wolf and her magic. She must show the pack that she understands what she is and that she'

Chapter: CHAPTER 34: INTEGRATIONALEC'S POVThe first three days after Leila's official acceptance into the pack were chaos.Not the obvious kind. No riots or rebellions or formal challenges. But the underlying kind, the kind that existed in whispered conversations in the training yard, in the careful distance that pack members maintained from Leila, in the way some of them seemed to be waiting for her to prove she was dangerous.Kira was the worst of it.She watched Leila with an expression of pure venom, her jealousy and rage so obvious that it was almost painful to witness. I'd spent the past three days trying to understand the intensity of her reaction, trying to gather intelligence on whether she was a genuine threat or simply a hurt wolf nursing a wounded ego.The answer, unfortunately, seemed to be both."She's been talking to the council representatives," I reported to Ronan and Maddox in the library. "Subtly, but definitely. Expressing concern about Leila's presence, about whether the prophecy is being inter

Chapter: CHAPTER 33: CONFRONTATIONLEILA'S POVThe office was exactly what I would have expected for an Alpha. Dark wood, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pack territory, a desk that probably cost more than my mother's car. But what struck me most was the air of power that seemed to saturate the space. This was where Alpha Marcus Blackwood made decisions that affected hundreds of lives.And now he was sitting behind that desk, staring at me like I was a puzzle he didn't know how to solve."So," he said finally. "You're the reason my sons have turned this entire territory upside down."I wanted to defend myself, wanted to say it wasn't my fault, wanted to explain the bond and the prophecy and everything that had led to this moment.But Ronan stepped forward first."She's not a reason for anything, Father. She's our mate. That's the entire point." His voice was calm, controlled, but there was steel underneath it. "The bond is complete. That's not changing. So the question isn't how to undo it. The question is how

Chapter: CHAPTER 32: THE JOURNEY BACKRONAN'S POVThe drive back to Blackwood territory took four hours.Four hours of sitting in the truck with Leila between me and Alec in the front seat, while Maddox drove with single-minded focus. Four hours of feeling her anxiety through the bond like it was my own. Four hours of restraint, not touching her more than necessary, not letting my possessiveness show, not doing any of the thousand things my wolf demanded.Alpha Garrett followed in a separate vehicle. Diana had chosen to drive her own car, giving us privacy for the journey back. It was a calculated decision, we needed time as a bonded unit before facing the pack."Tell me what to expect," Leila said around the two-hour mark. Her fingers were laced tightly together in her lap, her violet-tinged eyes focused on the road ahead. "Don't sugarcoat it. I need to know what we're walking into."Alec glanced at me, a wordless question.I answered it by being honest."The best case scenario is that Father accepts the bond and we figu

Chapter: CHAPTER 31: AFTERMATH & AWAKENINGLEILA'S POVI woke to a sensation I'd never experienced before.Not pain. Not anymore. But something deeper, a constant, humming awareness of three other souls existing in the same space as mine. I could feel them like they were extensions of my own body. Ronan's steady, controlled presence like ice water in my veins. Maddox's fierce, hungry energy like fire. Alec's calm, methodical mind like the earth beneath my feet.The bond wasn't just a metaphysical connection anymore. It was tangible. Real. Woven through every cell of my body.I was lying in an unfamiliar bed, tangled in sheets that smelled like all three of them. Early morning light filtered through the cabin windows, painting everything in shades of gold and amber. For a moment, I couldn't remember where I was or how I'd gotten here.Then the memories came flooding back.The pain. The breaking point. The decision to complete the bond. The hours that followed, a blur of sensation and connection and the complete dissolution of t
