MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA

MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA

I baked a cake for my boyfriend’s anniversary. Instead of a kiss, I found him in bed with my best friend. Humiliated, heartbroken, and desperate to forget the worst day of my life, I did something reckless. I kissed a stranger. A dangerously handsome stranger with glowing green eyes and enough Alpha power to make an entire room go silent. The next morning, I discovered two things. First, the stranger was Jaxon Blackwood, Mooncrest Academy’s hockey captain and the future Alpha of the most powerful pack in the region. Second, my mother had just married his father. Now the boy I kissed is my new stepbrother. Jaxon hates me, He bullies me. He calls me Omega in front of the entire school. Yet whenever someone tries to hurt me, his wolf comes out to protect me. And when my cheating ex comes back begging for a second chance, Jaxon makes one thing terrifyingly clear: Nobody touches what’s his. But there is one problem. I am a wolfless girl with no rank, no pack, and no place in his world. And the more secrets I uncover about myself, the more I realize my missing wolf may be the least dangerous thing about me. Because some bonds are forbidden. Some Alphas are possessive. And some love stories begin with betrayal, obsession… and a kiss that changes everything.

Chapter: chapter 7: The rumors
The rumors reached me before I even made it through the front entrance.I heard them the way you heard weather before it arrived. Not words yet, just a shift in the atmosphere. The way conversations paused when I got close and picked back up the moment I passed. The way eyes moved to me and then away, quickly, like looking too long at something bright.I kept walking.By the time I reached my locker, I had collected three different stories of yesterday without asking for any of them.In the first story, Jaxon had used his Alpha command on Damien. A full dominance call, the kind that could bring a weaker wolf to its knees. Damien had apparently crumbled completely and had to be helped out of the building by two of his friends.In the second story, Jaxon and Damien had actually fought. Briefly, brutally, and entirely in Jaxon's favor. Damien had thrown the first punch. Jaxon had thrown the last one. The hallway had needed to be cleared by staff.In the third st

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Weight of Green Eyes
Nobody breathed.That was the thing I noticed most. Not the silence, not the crowd, not even Damien standing three feet away with his jaw tight and his pride making him stupid. It was the breathing. Every person in that hallway had stopped doing it the moment Jaxon rounded the corner, and nobody had started again.Jaxon walked slowly. That was what made it worse. An angry man rushed. A dangerous one didn't need to.He stopped just short of Damien. Not touching distance. Just inside the line where most wolves, even strong ones, started feeling the press of something they couldn't name. The Alpha aura wasn't loud right now. It wasn't the crashing wave I'd felt at the bar, the thing that made a room go silent all at once. This was quieter. Steadier. Like pressure building in your ears before a storm broke.Damien held his ground for exactly four seconds. I counted.Then his shoulders dropped. Just slightly. Just enough. His chin ca

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Return of the Ex
By the next morning the story had mutated into something larger than what actually happened..In one version Jaxon had lifted the girl off the ground with one hand while his eyes went fully gold and a growl shook the lockers. In another he had half-shifted in the hallway before his teammates pulled him back. Neither was true. The real version was strange enough that people needed to make it bigger just to make sense of it.What nobody could explain was the last thing he'd said. Nobody touches what's mine.I'd been awake half the night with those words. Turning them over. Looking for the angle that made them mean something other than what they sounded like. He'd given me the angle himself at breakfast, when he said I was a reflection of his family name and nothing more.I wanted to believe that explanation.I mostly didn't.He was already at the counter when I came down, coffee in hand, reading something on his phone. He didn't look up when I walked in, which was normal. What wasn't no

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Alpha's Target
I had been invisible before. Wolfless girls learned that skill early because the alternative was worse. You kept your head down, you didn't challenge anyone's rank, you stayed out of pack politics, and most of the time the world returned the favor by leaving you alone.Mooncrest Academy did not leave you alone.The stares started before I made it through the front entrance. A group of girls near the steps stopped talking the moment they saw me, their attention shifting the way pack wolves shifted when something unfamiliar entered their territory. Heads turning, Scents being processed, Social calculations running.I kept walking.By second period I had already heard three different versions of who I was. The wolfless girl from a nobody pack. The outsider Evelyn Ashford had dragged into Blackwood territory through a convenient marriage. The girl living in the Alpha's mansion with no rank, no wolf, and no business being there.None of them were kind. None of them were entirely wrong abou

Chapter: Chapter 3: My New Stepbrother
The mansion did not look like something people actually lived in.I stood on the front path with my suitcase and looked up at it. Three stories of stone and glass, the kind of house that wasn't built to impress. It was built to remind. To make sure that anyone who stood where I was standing understood exactly what kind of family lived behind those doors and exactly how far outside of that world they were.I already felt it. That pressure in the air that pack land always carried, that low hum of Alpha territory that made the back of my neck prickle even though I had no wolf to respond to it. I always felt it. I had never understood why, since wolfless girls weren't supposed to be sensitive to those things. I'd stopped mentioning it years ago because nobody had an explanation that made sense.My mother was already at the door. Victor Blackwood opened it before she could knock, and the warmth on his face was immediate and genuine. He was tall and broad with grey at his temples, the kind

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Hockey Beast
The bar went silent the way a room goes silent when something dangerous happens. Not all at once. In a wave, starting closest to us and rolling outward until even the music felt distant.Every wolf in that room felt it. I didn't have a wolf, or so everyone always said, but even I felt the pressure of it. That invisible weight that dropped into the air around him like a warning. Like standing too close to a storm.Alpha aura.His hand was still locked around my wrist. His eyes were still glowing that furious green, and they hadn't moved off my face. He was reading me the way predators read things they didn't understand yet."Answer me." His voice was low. Controlled in the way that things are controlled when they have to work at it. "Who are you?""I'm nobody." My voice came out steadier than I had any right to feel. "I go to Mooncrest. I'm new. I just.." I stopped. "I'm sorry. That was stupid. I don't do things like that."A guy two stools down stood up slowly, both hands slightly vis
