Under the Mistletoe: He Chose My Brother

Drama Fast-Paced Plot Steamy Doctor Playboy Goodgirl Betrayal Affair Second Chance

“I’m sorry." Nikolai choked. “I never meant for you to find out like this, but I can’t keep living a lie. I tried Reva. I tried to love you the way you needed, to want only you, but every day felt like I was drowning. You never let up; you wanted the perfect husband, the perfect life, and I couldn’t breathe under all that pressure. I want someone who sees me, and I'm sorry it happens to be your brother.” ..... With her job paying for a luxurious week-long year-end retreat, Reva was looking forward to a well-earned vacation that she hoped would be a reset and a chance to relax. But after a wild night of partying, she woke up to find her husband missing from their bed. Confused and hungover, she stumbled through the villa, only to be drawn in by strange sounds. Following the sounds, her world collapsed at the sight that awaited her. “Fuck! You’re so thick… I want to feel every inch of that beautiful cock. ” Her husband and her brother… tangled together in the dark, and the betrayal shattered her. Heartbroken, she ran blindly into the night, colliding with the broad chest of Levi Price, her mysterious billionaire boss.

Chapter: CHAPTER 73: EXCUSES

REVAStopping in front of my apartment building, I turned off the engine but remained motionless for a moment before leaning back in the driver's seat and staring through the windshield. I had spent the entire drive back from the hospital thinking about what I should do next. However, the truth was... I still hadn't a clue. My mind kept circling the same questions, never finding an answer.Closing my eyes, I exhaled, another thought entering my mind: how I had spoken to Dr. Jacobs earlier. A part of me considered calling the hospital again to apologize for how I ended the conversation. But after considering the idea for a few minutes, I decided against it. I didn't have enough emotional energy to open that door again. Talking about Nikolai felt like ripping open a wound that hadn't even started to heal, and I didn't understand why, because I had begun to believe that I was getting better. I had begun to think about him without bleeding so heavily, but suddenly everything felt fresh,

Chapter: CHAPTER 72: SELFISHNESS

NIKOLAI Lying in my hospital bed, I stared at the ceiling, waiting for the doctor to return. He had left a few minutes earlier to make a phone call to Reva, and the thought made my stomach churn. The room was quiet except for the faint hum of the machines around me and the distant sound of carts rolling down the hallway. And the silence should have been calming, but it only made my thoughts louder. They never stopped. My mind was gradually turning against me, and I was terrified because I felt powerless to stop it. Every day since the accident, darkness drew closer, and I tried not to think, but the thoughts kept coming. I hadn't been able to contact my lawyer in days. I didn't have much ability to reach anyone. I did not have my phone or laptop. So I couldn't access my email. Everything in my life had been reduced to this bed and the four walls of this hospital room, and I had no idea what was going on with the divorce. Part of me knew what was right. That part almost sounded re

Chapter: CHAPTER 71: A BIGGER PERSON

REVA My stomach turned, and I debated whether to answer the phone before finally doing so. The voice on the other end was Nikolai's doctor, who apologized immediately for calling me on a holiday and explained that he would not normally contact me outside of regular hours, but there was an urgent matter that needed to be addressed. I leaned against the wall next to my door as he spoke, feeling a headache form behind my temples. He explained that the hospital had been paid only for the first of Nikolai's bills. Because of the severity of Nikolai's injuries, the hospital initially allowed the bill to accumulate. Patients with spinal trauma frequently require extended hospitalization, complex care, and extensive rehabilitation. In such cases, the hospital typically gives patients enough time to process their insurance or make family arrangements before raising billing concerns. However, in Nikolai's case, the accounts department had flagged his file because there had been no further

She asked, searching my face as if she knew something I didn't, and I was perplexed. I wasn't doing well, but she shouldn't have known, and she was looking at me like she did.“Are you OK?" I asked instead of responding to her question. “Why do you look so concerned?" And she said something that gave me pause.“Danielle told me what happened between you last night."My mind went blank. “What?" My mother immediately raised her hands defensively. “It's not like that," she replied quickly. “She didn't just come to me and start telling me your private matters. I had to pry it from her." Mom said Danielle didn't look well after learning that Reva and I had to leave unexpectedly. “Your father and I had noticed that Danielle hadn't been herself since breakfast, and when I asked her about it, she replied that she was fine.

Chapter: CHAPTER 69: BAD TIMING

LEVI I stood there long after the car carrying Reva had vanished down the road and the engine noise had subsided. My gaze remained fixed on the empty stretch of road, as if she would reappear if I waited long enough. What the hell did I do? The question ran through my mind repeatedly as I admitted that telling her how I felt had ruined everything. The first woman I fell in love with after a long time did not want me. A bitter chuckle shook my chest as I ran my hand through my hair and exhaled slowly. Perhaps I should've waited. She had already gone through so much, and her divorce hadn't even been finalized. Perhaps I pushed her into a situation she wasn't prepared to face. I reasoned again, staring down the road. But deep down, I knew it wasn't entirely true because I could see in her eyes that she had fallen for me as well. Or had I been mistaken? A quiet voice inside my head rose, saying I hadn't been mistaken. It stated that she did not reject me because she didn't feel the s

REVALevi took a step closer to me, his eyes searching my face as if he were looking for something deep within me, and my lips trembled. “Please be mine," he said, his voice softening but still raw, and my heart skipped hard. “I want you to be mine.” Silent tears rolled down my cheeks before I realized I was crying, and I couldn't even wipe them away. Half of me, the fragile, optimistic part of me who still believed in happy endings and knights in shining armor, wanted to say yes.That part of me wanted to step forward, wrap my arms around him, and believe everything he had just said because, just hours before, I would have given anything to hear these words.However, they no longer provided any comfort or reassurance. If anything, they hurt because they came too late. My vision blurred as another tear slipped down my cheek, and I blinked, my gaze returning to him.I've been here before. I knew what it was like to give your heart to someone while they were still entangled with someon

He straddled me, his hips swirling in slow, maddening circles. His body was right there, pressing into mine, and I couldn’t escape it; I didn’t want to. His hands found mine and guided them to his chest, and when my palms touched his warm skin, I was gone. My pulse was a blur of frantic beats pounding in my ears, drowning out the crowd's cheers and whistles. With his face inches from mine, Alec leaned in. His breath ghosted over my lips, his smile, cocky, knowing, playful, and somehow tender all at once. “You okay there?” he asked with an amused tone, and I opened my mouth, desperate to say something—anything—but nothing came out. My throat was dry, my skin was on fire and my mind was completely blank. All I could do was stare at him, completely mesmerized by how his body moved against mine and that wicked smirk on his lips. Before I knew it, heat pooled low in my belly, spreading downward, and I instinctively clenched my thighs together to stop the throbbing that ignited between my legs, but it was too late as I dampened the soft leather.

Chapter: Epilogue

A YEAR LATERLake's POV Reaching the borders of Kairos’s kingdom, my stomach was a swarm of nerves as I gazed upon the gates of my mate’s home for the first time.To say I was nervous would’ve been a laughable understatement, because I was practically vibrating. This was Darian and Mira’s wedding, and not just any wedding, but a royal event of the decade, and the first thing I noticed was the sheer beauty of it all.Even from the outskirts, the kingdom was breathtaking. Ornate sea silk banners in gold and aquamarine flowed with the currents, tied to coral pillars that stretched up like towers.Strings of glowing pearl lanterns weaved through sea fans and swayed gently in the water, illuminating the path ahead. Schools of tiny bioluminescent fish darted through the decorations like living confetti, casting fleeting shadows across our skin.The gates were carved from pale, ivory coral and inlaid with sunstone and lapis, which glittered in the soft underwater light.Guarding them stood

Lake's POV When we arrived at Kairos’s place, construction filled the air... drills, hammers, and voices calling over the noise. For a moment, I just stood there, taking it all in.The back half of the house, the part torn apart by the sea’s surge, was still a mess. But it wasn’t just rubble anymore. There were signs of rebuilding... scaffolding, fresh timber, and workers moving with purpose.Since we weren't running away this time, Kairos and I properly took in the damage for the first time.A man in a navy hat and dusty boots came over, wiping sweat from his brow. He introduced himself, and Kairos and I introduced ourselves back to him. He was the foreman on-site, letting us know they’d already started laying the new foundation. “The place’ll be back to itself in no time.”Kairos thanked him, and I stepped forward. “We want the pool to stay the same,” I said. “No changes, and that matters to us.”I loved that pool. It was the coolest thing, and we made memories there. The foreman g

Lux's POVLooking at myself in the mirror one last time, I smoothed down the short, emerald green cocktail dress I’d picked out for the evening. It hugged my body just right… cute, playful, and a little daring.Paired with red heels, I worried for a second that I might be overdressed, but it was Reed who had made the dinner plans and sent a car for me, indicating that we were going to a high-end place, so I couldn’t risk feeling underdressed. Mom and Dad always said it was better to overdress than underdress.I rechecked the time, grabbed my clutch, and was about to leave the room when I heard the door creak open. Stepping out of the room, I squealed at the sight that greeted me.“Oh my God!” Lake and Kairos stood there, and before either of them could speak, I was running across the room. Lake met me halfway, and I threw myself into his arms, laughing through the sudden rush of joy that bubbled up in my chest.“You didn’t even say you were coming back." I was beyond happy. “Are you g

Lake told me he never forgot things, like when we met.We drove through the quieter side of the city, my father taking in the sights and Lake pointing them out to us. My mate enjoyed showing us around, and I couldn't wait to show him around in the deep one day soon, too.Reed had never seen my home, only pictures he had me take for him because he couldn’t swim that far. I hoped it would be different for my mate, since his abilities weren’t given to him like Reed’s, but by the gods themselves.We reached the zoo's gates, and from the outside, it looked like a giant garden, with banners fluttering and families milling about with ice cream and maps. But it wasn’t until we stepped inside that I felt like I had landed in another world.Lake explained again that it was where surface creatures lived, creatures I’d never encountered beneath the waves.

Lake’s parents were waiting downstairs as we descended the stairs and wished us luck.Sliding into the car, the drive to the hotel was initially quiet before Lake tapped his fingers against the steering wheel, humming softly to the radio.He smiled when our eyes met and told me we had done enough worrying when we woke up. We had. We’d had such a beautiful day yesterday that we managed to push away the thoughts of my father, but this morning they came crashing back.We learned he wasn’t alone.

“Why do you suddenly want out of this marriage? Who the fuck are you screwing, you dumb bitch?!” “I'm not screw-” I tried to explain, but he was already on me and I screamed as he dragged me up by my neck, his hand so tight on my throat I couldn’t breathe. “Who is it?!” he growled. “Who the fuck would dare!” ---- In a world absent the mate bond, alliances were formed through blood, power, and betrayal rather than fate. Makena Blackwell was born into the mafia's lowest-ranking position, promised at birth to a powerful heir in exchange for her family's survival. She was ready to marry him. But he was ready to destroy her. On the night she was meant to die, however, something impossible happened. A man rose from the icy steel trays of her father’s morgue. He was a stranger, with no memory, no name, and no pulse. And when their gazes met, fate spoke the word they never expected to hear in their lifetime, echoing so loudly in their souls it shook the very fabric of their being. “Mate!” The man the world left for dead wasn’t just anyone; he was the dread every mafia house feared, and he was hers. She was promised to a prince of power… but fate gave her the king of the dead.

VAL THREE HOURS LATER Makena’s grip tightened on mine as we walked into the crown room. And I couldn’t meet the eyes of the elders or my father, whom we had kept waiting for over two hours, as the shower had taken far longer than expected. We took our seats, and greetings were exchanged. After the pleasantries, my father told us that they had received numerous reports this morning that every wolf who turned eighteen after midnight had recognized their mate. “What?” “The mate bond is back, son,” my father said, and Makena and I looked at each other in disbelief. Marcus spoke next. He said we had done it; we had broken the curse. However, we didn’t understand how and couldn't dwell on it, as we were already late for my official appointment as the Capo. But just as we all got up to head to where the seating would take place, the lights in the room went out, and loud gasps echoed through the room before everything fell silent. I turned to my left to find Makena’s expression
