CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 117 - INTACT
Four words. The seemingly simplest question in the English language.But the way he’s asking it – looking at the floor with his hands on his knees and the amber completely absent from his eyes – makes something crack in my chest that I didn’t know was holding.“Define all right,” I say, because the dark humour is the scaffolding that holds me together and removing it now would mean confronting the answer without structural support.“Ivy.” He doesn’t back off. “I watched you perform a bond demonstration on a concrete floor in front of thirty wolves because my brother threatened to erase your memory, and I stood six feet away and did nothing. I need to know if the woman I’m looking at right now is the same woman who walked into that compound this morning or if something in there broke something in here.” His hand lifts from his knee and touches his own chest, not mine. “Because I will spend the rest of this situation managing Viktor and managing Knox and managing the pack, and I cannot
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 116 - HE'LL TRY
Knox goes straight to the kitchen and paces, and the pacing has a rhythm that matches his heartbeat.I can feel his elevated pulse through the bond driving his legs back and forth across the tile while his hands open and close at his sides. He hasn’t spoken since, and his silence is louder than any words would’ve been because Knox usually fills silence instinctively and completely – and the absence of his voice means the wolf is too close to the surface for human language.Dominic pours whiskey. Two fingers, neat, in the heavy glass that lives on the shelf above the stove. He doesn’t drink it immediately. He holds it and studies the amber liquid with the detached focus of a man examining a specimen, and the parallel between the whiskey’s colour and his wolf’s eyes is the kind of detail that a literature professor would appreciate and a man in crisis would ignore.I sit at the kitchen table with my hands flat on the surface and the compound’s scent still on my skin and the ache between
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 115 - NOTHING IMPORTANT
He takes me in front of Viktor Voss and the weight of a pack’s judgement.My back meets the cold concrete floor and his body covers mine, and the contrast between the frozen surface and his searing heat makes my spine arch into him before he’s even inside me.When he enters me, the bond detonates.The mark on my neck blazes bright enough to cast shadows on the ceiling and the amber mark on my inner thigh ignites in response – both scars luminous and pulsing in a rhythm that matches the pace Knox sets.The double glow fills the chamber with light that doesn’t come from the fluorescents. The wolves see it. Every single one of them sees the light pouring through my skin like I’ve swallowed something that burns, and the murmur that moves through the room is one of recognition – the sound of thirty predators witnessing something that their pack lore told them was mythological.Knox’s pace is controlled. He builds our performance slowly, each thrust pressing deeper with the measured intensi
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 114 - EYES ON ME
Viktor’s demand hangs in the chamber like smoke from a fire nobody lit, and the silence that follows it has teeth.“No.” Knox steps forward and his body moves in front of mine. “You’re not getting a show.”Viktor doesn’t stand. He doesn’t need to stand because the power in this room belongs to the chair and the man sitting in it, and standing would suggest he needed to compete for the authority that every wolf in this compound already handed him when they walked through the door.“Then the binding is void.” Viktor says it with dispassionate finality. “The double bond is unverified and therefore unrecognised by the pack. The human’s memory gets erased under Veil protocol, and every memory of you both disappears from her mind.”The words land in my chest before they land in my brain because the bond is carrying Knox’s reaction before I can process my own – a surge of cold fury that tastes like iron and desperation, chased by the amber channel pulsing something quieter and more dangerous
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 113 - THE COMPOUND
The summons arrives through a wolf I don’t recognise.He knocks on our apartment door at 9 PM and hands Knox a piece of paper with Viktor’s seal pressed into the wax. The formality of the delivery tells me that whatever is about to happen at the compound has been elevated from pack business to pack theatre.Knox reads the paper and his jaw locks. The bond floods with a cold signal that I’ve learned to associate with his emotions towards Viktor.“I’m not going.”“You’re going.” Dominic appears in the hallway with his reading glasses on and his tea in his hand. “Refusing an Alpha summons is a declaration of war and we are not prepared for war.”“I’m not bringing her into that compound–”“I’ll be there.” Dominic sets his tea on the hallway table with the precise placement that means the conversation is settled. “Both of us will be there. Viktor has never seen me shifted, and that in itself is an advantage we carry into that room.”Knox stares at his father and the gold presses at the edg
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 112 - A BROKEN BOND
MARA’S POV (BONUS)The half-bond shatters after midnight and it feels like having a rib removed through my spine in a hot bright extraction.It starts in my chest where Knox’s echo has been living since the ceremony and rips outward through my nervous system in a motion that drops me to my bathroom floor with my hand clawing the tile and my wolf howling inside my skull at a frequency that I can feel in my teeth.The echo is gone. The phantom heartbeat that has been pulsing in my chest for years – Knox’s heartbeat, the stolen frequency that I felt every time he touched her and fucked her and marked her and chose her over the woman his pack assigned – goes silent between one breath and the next, and the silence is so absolute and so sudden that my body interprets the absence as death.I scream and lie on the bathroom floor for twenty minutes while my wolf processes the severance. The half-bond was destroyed, It was snapped by something so powerful that the connection didn’t dissolve gra

The bite healed in a few days, which seemed fast, but I wasn't exactly monitoring it with scientific rigour because I was too busy crying over Ryan Parker and pretending the frat party never happened. It left a faint silver line on my neck that I cover with concealer out of habit. Sometimes the ski
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 1 - A LITTLE TASTE
"Unghh—""Don't stop until I say so."His hand tightens in my hair and pushes me back down, and my knees ache against the cold tile floor and my jaw is sore and my eyes are watering and I am, without question, losing my entire mind because I am in the back row of a lecture hall with my stepbrother'
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 5 - CONTROL
I should have blocked the number – the number I didn’t give him, the number he stole from my phone while I was asleep, which is a fact that should disturb me more than it turns me on.And underneath the text from yesterday is today’s command sitting in my inbox like a landmine:"You’re sitting in m
CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER CHAPTER 4 - TEACHINGS
My jaw aches when I chew my toast and every time it does I feel a pulse between my legs that has no business existing before 8 AM, and I've been checking the clock since I woke up because he said "same time tomorrow" and that means tonight, which means I have approximately fourteen hours to figure
