TRADING MY EX FOR HIS STEP BROTHER
Kimberly Walker was betrothed to.Roland Carter since she was sixteen years old. Roland was handsome, wealthy, and charming and represented everything Kimberly thought she needed. But that illusion shattered the night she caught him entangled in her sister’s arms.
She was angry and heartbroken, and recorded their betrayal before they even realized she was there. As her world collapsed, she fled, only to crash into Damien Carter—the one man Roland despised more than anyone.
In a reckless bid for revenge, she kissed Damien, igniting a spark neither of them saw coming. Damien was arrogant and ruthless, but he was devastatingly handsome. And carried himself with so much grace and class. After he experienced that kiss, he knew things would never remain the same between Kimberly and him.
Roland refused to let go, swearing that his betrayal had been a mistake..
When the formidable matriarch, Mrs. Evelyn Carter, saw the evidence of Roland’s betrayal, and the picture of Kim kissing Damien, she made her decision—Kimberly would belong to Damien. An instant marriage followed, binding Kimberly to a man she barely understood.
But marrying Damien Carter came with a price. Damien was unwilling to give his heart to Kim. Meanwhile, Roland, fueled by jealousy, sought every opportunity to prove that Kimberly belonged to him, exploiting the cracks in her fragile new marriage.
As family conflicts escalated, Kimberly had to navigate a dangerous game where she constantly had to prove her loyalty to Damien. In a world where wealth dictated fate, Kimberly was about to discover that trading one Carter for another was only the beginning of her battle.
Will she be able to conquer Damien's heart? Or is there a chance to return to Roland, her first love who claims he still loves her?

Chapter: YOU HAD MY DAD ARRESTED?CHAPTER 175: YOU HAD MY DAD ARRESTED?KIMBERLY:I was still half-asleep when the sound of someone knocking on our front door woke me from sleep.At first, I thought maybe it was a delivery, but then I heard a maid’s voice from the hallway.“Ma’am,” she said softly when I opened the door. “Your mom and sister are waiting downstairs.”That woke me completely. I sat there, blinking in confusion. My mom and Tess? At this hour? They never came here this early. Actually, my mom hadn’t stepped foot here since after Damien and I signed our marriage license. My chest tightened. Something wasn’t right.I reached over and tapped Damien on the arm. He was still stretched out, sleeping peacefully.“Baby,” I whispered, nudging him again. “Wake up. My family’s here.”He opened his eyes slowly, gave me that lazy morning smile, then rubbed his face. “What family?”“My mom and Tess. They’re downstairs waiting.”His smile faded a little. He sat up, swung his legs over the bed. “Hmm. Figures.”I squinted

But I could tell by the way he shut the door behind him and locked it that this wasn’t just a casual update.“What’s up?” I asked, dropping my pen and leaning back in my chair.Roy walked forward and set a thick brown folder on my desk. “Boss, I’ve completed the investigation into all the recent incidents—the SUV explosion, the car ramming into yours, the kidnapping attempt while you and madam were jogging. All fingers point at one man.”I raised a brow. I had a suspect in mind but I wanted him to say it. “Who?”He met my eyes. “James Walker.”That's Kim’s father, as you guys may already know.I wasn’t shocked at all. The man had always been a snake in the grass. But heari

I rubbed my eyes, squinting against the light coming through the curtains. My hand reached for Damien’s side of the bed, but it was already cold.Sitting up, I found him fully dressed. He wore dark gray suit, crisp white shirt, and his tie was perfectly knotted. He looked like he was about to step out the door.I frowned, obviously surprised. “You didn’t wake me?”He turned instantly, flashing that smile that always made my chest soften, but this time I didn’t melt. “Good morning, sleepyhead.”“Good morning?” I muttered, folding my arms. “Is that all you’ve got to say? You didn’t think maybe I’d want to get ready with you? Like we always do?”He came over without missing a beat, lowering himself onto the bed next to me. His lips brushed mine in a quick kiss, then he slipped his hand over mine, caressing gently.“Baby,” he said in that calm tone he used when

It was a text from Roy: “Guards already at the gate, boss.” Good. I knew the minute I stepped out of Officer Harris’ office that the damn reporters would smell blood and camp outside like vultures.When I finally stepped out in the open, flash after flash blinded me. Cameras, mics, cell phones, all shoved toward me like weapons.“Mr. Carter! Is it true you fired at two unarmed men?”“Did your wife fake the attack for attention?”“Are you worried about lawsuits, Mr. Carter?”Their voices overlapped, nasty and greedy.I didn’t even blink. My guards formed a tight wall around me, muscling the press back, arms out, voices sharp. I just kept walking, not a single word leaving my lips. My driver had the car door open before I reached the curb. I slid into the back seat, slammed the door shut, and leaned back.The reporters pressed their faces aga

We just got ambushed.”There was a pause on his end, before he respondedt, his voice sharp and alert. “Where are you right now, Mr. Carter?”“In my car. My men are driving us back to the estate. But listen carefully, I had to act in self-defense. Two men tried to drag my wife into a car. I neutralized them. They’re alive, but wounded.”“Neutralized,” Harris repeated, almost like he was making sure he heard me right.“I shot them in their arms and legs,” I clarified flatly. “Close-range. They’ll live.”There was a faint shuffle of papers through the phone before Harris spoke again. “I see. Well, Mr. Carter, considering shots were fired, I’ll need you to come down to the station and give a formal statement. It’s o

Early morning, fresh air is the perfect way to start the day.”I groaned and pulled the duvet over my head. “Five more minutes.”“Nope,” he chuckled, tugging at the duvet. “Come on, sleepyhead. You need to keep fit. You gotta look your best on our wedding day.”“I’m already beautiful,” I mumbled from under the covers, curling up like a ball.“You are,” he admitted, his voice softer, “but we’re still jogging.”Before I could protest again, he yanked the duvet right off me. Cold air hit my skin, making me squeal. “Damien!”He laughed like a little boy and leaned down, wiggling his fingers against my sides. I burst into uncontrollable laughter.“Stop—stop! Damien! Please!” I giggled so hard I couldn’t even breathe. He moved his hands down to my toes, tickling mercilessly.“No mercy,” he teased, his grin wicked.“Okay! I’ll go!

THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE
Everly Gray grew up, living with her father Johnson Gray, who made her life a living hell because of the hatred he had for Everly’s late mother. She was punished for her mother's sins and overshadowed by her stepsister, Isabella.
Isabella becomes envious of Everly when she got to know about Everly's fated bond with Alpha Viktor, whom she was already dating. She schemes to get rid of her by manipulating Alpha Viktor Simpson, the alpha of Silver Cross Pack to reject Everly as his mate.
After being publicly rejected by her fiancé, Everly accepts her rejection with quiet dignity and leaves her pack to avoid further humiliation. She ends up living in an alley until a life- altering encounter with Kaelan, the Alpha King, changes her fate.
Everly finds herself entangled with the powerful Alpha King, Kaelan Blackwood. This accidental encounter leaves her with a surprise—she discovers that Kaelan isn’t just a stranger; he's her fated mate, and he’ll stop at nothing to keep her. But Everly, scarred from betrayal, is reluctant to trust him.
As the Alpha King works to win her heart, he faces challenges from within his realm. Rogues, a prophecy, and a secret enemy threaten to dismantle his reign and destroy what they have.
Will Everly be able to rise from her weakness and claim her place beside her mate? Or will she allow the conspirators to destroy everything she and Kaelan has built together?

This was a hard-earned peace. The occupants of this pack and palace had gone through years of struggle, sacrifice and resilience.Kaelan stood on the balcony of his chambers, and surveyed the vast territory he now ruled. The once-fractured packs of the country were now unified under his reign, and Crescent Moon had become a beacon of progress. He had built industries that now flourished, and provided security and wealth, while the werewolf college he had also recently built ensured that future generations were educated in both the ways of the world and the sacred traditions of their kind.He heard the soft giggle of his toddler and turned to see Everly standing in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with warmth as she carried her son, Maxine in her arms.Maxine was now a vibrant toddler with wild curls and eyes as deep and

What did you go to the clinic for?”“I'm sorry, Kaelan. I only wanted to comfort the boy.” I explained.“And what did you get in return, huh? You almost had yourself killed with my pup in your womb.”“Oh, this is all about protecting your pup,” I said calmly.“Don't get me more upset than I already am,. Everly,” he said coldly and stormed out of our room.A moment later, I heard him yelling at someone downstairs and when I looked through the balcony, I saw him yelling at Owen. He told him he was incompetent and couldn't handle a simple task of protecting the Luna.Owen was on his knees begging.I wanted to go downstairs to explain things further but I knew it would make him even more furious. So I held my breath and wished he could calm down. He did calm down eventually but things never remained the same

Do you really think I'm jobless? You should know the rules, Owen. I don't go about entertaining wolves from the dungeon.”Owen bowed. “I'm sorry, Alpha.” And then left the room.We spent a few more minutes in the library and then went upstairs. From this moment onward, Kaelan became clingy. He never let me out of his sight. It has been weeks since the rogues abducted me from the market and almost killed me but I still had nightmares. Kaelan was worried and decided that we should seek the help of a certain witch. But I didn't want to go.I couldn't visit a witch with a pup in my womb. Kaelan decided to go alone. I

The building was hidden in a remote forest and I wondered how Viktor was able to locate this place.“I didn't come alone,” he said as if he read my mind. “There are ten Lycans out there, destroying the rogues.”He led me through a hidden path and I saw a car in the distance, waiting.“You brought a car.” I was pleasantly surprised.“Yes, I know you can't shift because of the pregnancy and walking more than twenty miles back to Crescent Moon would be dangerous for you and the pup.”I was impressed with Viktor's thoughtfulness. Who would've thought that the werewolf’s greatest villain had such a good side.I got into the car as soon as we got there and Bennett drove the car away.Beauty was at the gate of the car, pacing. She knew Viktor and the Lycans had gone to rescue and she was obviously anxious. I told Bennett to stop so I could go down. Beauty ran into

It doesn't even matter that Beauty was always in my room, keeping me company.To distract myself, I decided to go shopping with Beauty. “I need some fresh air,” I told her that morning. “And I'm yet to buy baby stroller. Maybe I will see the one I like in the market today.”She grinned. “Sure. Can I come with you?”“Of course,.you can. Kaelan will be mad if he finds out I went to the market alone,” I told her.“Then we need to take some guards,” Beauty suggested. “Just for protection.”I nodded. “Okay. Two or three guards will do.”Beauty went downstairs and informed Owen that we needed three guards to escort us to the market.

My gut told me that voice belonged to Venus. Even my wolf confirmed it. And I wasn’t about to ignore it.“Conrad,” I muttered, pacing my study as my warriors celebrated our victory over Draven. “We’re tracking that number tonight.”Conrad stepped fully into the study, arms folded. “Are you sure that voice belongs to Venus, Alpha? You know burner phones are tough. Whoever called you might’ve used one of those.”I snapped my head toward him, growling low. “Don’t give me excuses. I want results. That was her voice. She’s hiding from me. And I don’t care how far she runs, I’ll find her.”Conrad sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, Alpha. Here’s how it works. Every phone, whether burner or not, leaves a trace. Cell towers log calls—the time, the signal strength, the angle the signal bounced from. If we cross-match it, we can trian

My head spun, my stomach turned, and my arms and legs felt weak as hell.I sat up on the bed slowly, pressing a hand to my forehead. “Damn… what the hell is wrong with me?” I muttered.The room tilted a little when I tried to stand. I sat back down immediately, holding the edge of the mattress like my life depended on it. My mouth felt dry, and the smell of leftover perfume and smoke from the club uniforms we’d hung up was already making me gag.That was when Kendra pushed my door open. “Hey, girl, let’s go. We gotta clean the club before it opens. It's our turn to clean up the club today.”She stopped in her tracks when she saw me sitting there pale and sweaty. Her eyebrows shot up. “Girl, what’s wrong with you? You don't look okay.”I shook my head weakly. “I don’t know. I feel… dizzy. Weak. And my stomach…”Before I c

I glanced at the glowing screen, my jaw tight. Who the hell would be calling at this hour?Conrad looked up from the maps. “Alpha? The phone is ringing. Why don't you pick up?”I shook my head slowly. “I’m just... The number's not saved.”For a second, I thought about ignoring it. But my gut told me to pick up. I hit the answer and put it to my ear.“Hello? Who's this?”Silence. Nothing but breathing on the other end. My frown deepened.“Who the hell is this?” I snapped.Still no answer.
