I wake up to his heartbeat in my chest before I remember why it’s there.

The double-pulse is quieter in daylight – not the drumming twin rhythm from last night but a soft, persistent echo that sits behind my own heartbeat like a shadow, and I lie still in his bed with his arm heavy across my ribs and his chest against my back and try to figure out where I end and the new signal begins.

He’s human again.

The body pressed against mine is the regular version – still too big, still running warmer t

  • 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

  • CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER   CHAPTER 111 - A PROBLEM

    Hours later, Theo is standing on the front porch when I open the door, and he looks like he hasn’t slept since the seventeen calls started.His hair looks unwashed and his eyes carrying the bloodshot determination of a man who has spent the last forty-eight hours building a case while I was in the woods getting permanently bonded to two wolves, and the timing of his arrival is the kind of cosmic irony that I would appreciate if it weren’t aimed directly at the foundation of my life.He’s holding a folder. An actual folder that is thick enough that the tabs are visible from the doorway, and each tab has a date written in his careful handwriting.“I need to talk to you.”“Theo, this isn’t–”He pushes past me into the apartment and opens the folder on the kitchen table and the contents spread across the surface where my mom eats breakfast – photographs printed on computer paper, timestamps highlighted in yellow, a handwritten timeline that maps my movements between Knox’s room and Domini

  • CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER   CHAPTER 110 - THE WORLD OUTSIDE

    The drive home is forty minutes of Knox’s motorcycle and Dominic’s sedan and my body distributed between the two vehicles in a logistical arrangement that involves me on the bike for the first twenty minutes and then transferring to the car for the second twenty because my legs stopped cooperating with the motorcycle’s seat around the halfway mark. So, Knox pulled over and Dominic pulled up and the transfer was conducted on the shoulder of a highway at 6 AM with me wearing Knox’s leather jacket over nothing because my sundress is somewhere in a forest clearing in approximately four pieces.The apartment smells like my mom’s lavender air freshener and the untouched dinner she left plated in the fridge with a note that says “for my babies – heat for 2 min!” with a heart dotting the exclamation point, and the domesticity of the note and the way she chooses to always act like everything is normal makes my chest do the complicated thing it does when my mom’s warmth collides with my reality

  • CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER   CHAPTER 109 - WITH ME ALWAYS

    The ritual continues through the night, and the night is long.Knox takes me first in the hours after the three-way bond activation – human-scale now, and the contrast between his human body and the full-shifted body that was inside me twenty minutes ago makes his human size feel almost manageable.They pass me between them in configurations that the forest accommodates.We start against the trunk of an oak with Knox’s hands bracing my weight above him and the bark rough against my back. We go on the ground with Dominic’s jacket spread beneath me. They enter me on my knees with the moss cold and soft under my shins and the moonlight casting the shadows of two wolves across the clearing floor.Each position produces a different resonance through the double bond because each position changes the angle of contact with both marks, and the marks respond to proximity and pressure and the specific angle at which each wolf enters me.The responses also travel through the bond in waves that I’

  • CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER   CHAPTER 108 - CLAIMED

    He enters me and the language centres of my brain go offline.I go completely blank as my brain turns to liquid, and what replaces language is pure sensation, the body communicating in frequencies below speech because speech can’t hold what the full-shift produces.I can’t form words.My body is accommodating a size that exists outside human specification while the wolf chemistry floods through every point of contact and converts the impossibility into something my flesh accepts.The bond is rewriting the rules of what my flesh can hold in real time, and the rewriting is happening at a speed that makes my consciousness flicker repeatedly.Knox finally moves in me, and the first stroke at full shift registers as pressure hitting every wall simultaneously because the size differential means there’s no angle he can take that doesn’t contact everything at once.My brain interprets it as a sustained peak rather than a building wave, and there’s no valley between the peaks because the peaks

  • CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER   CHAPTER 107 - DOMINIC'S BITE

    Dominic bites me finally, and the pain doesn't sting at first.It begins to arrive slowly, like a massive pressure that pushes inward from my inner thigh through my pelvis and up through my abdomen and into my chest in a wave that rises with each second that passes. The pain grows so gradually that by the time I register the depth of it my entire body is already submerged.His teeth are embedded in the soft skin of my inner thigh and the mark activating beneath his mouth feels like it is activating from somewhere deep within my nervous system that I didn’t know existed until his ancient wolf found it and pressed its teeth into it.His soul floods through the mark.I feel the bottomless controlled patience of a man who suppressed his wolf for twenty years until the suppression compressed everything he felt into a density that is now decompressing through the bond and into my body. The decompression is feel enormous because twenty years of hidden want carried at pressure is releasing al

  • 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

  • CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER   CHAPTER 3 - GET ON YOUR KNEES

    The belt slides free from the loops with a sound that cuts through the dark like a blade, and I should be reaching for my phone or screaming for my mom or doing literally any of the things a normal person would do when a man they met yesterday is standing at the foot of their bed at – I glance at t

  • CLAIMED BY MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER AND STEPFATHER   CHAPTER 2 - NEW FAMILY

    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
