CHAPTER 167: The Honest Part

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-08-14 00:07:20

Just like that, a couple of days slipped by without me even noticing. Time didn’t really feel like it moved here—it just… lingered. Stuck. Slow. Sometimes I felt like I was holding my breath for hours without realizing it.

Most of the time, I stayed inside with Ethan. He didn’t push me to go out, maybe because he could tell I didn’t want to. Or maybe because he didn’t trust leaving me alone here with all the people who still stared at me like I was some strange, dangerous animal they didn’t want in their backyard.

Every now and then, Ethan would head out to bring food or whatever else we needed. He never said much about where he went, and I didn’t ask. It was easier that way.

Me? I just… stayed. Sitting by the small window. Watching the light change. Listening to the muffled sound of life outside, too far away to make out details but close enough to remind me that the world was still moving, even if I wasn’t.

I would be a terrible liar if I said I liked it here.

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 215: We Were That Symbol

    “How are you feeling?” The question left me before I could overthink it, quiet and awkward, as I sat beside Greg, my hands folded in my lap. Greg shifted slightly, wincing at the movement. “I’m… fine.” The pause after the word was too long to be convincing. He was alive… not fine. I swallowed, forcing myself to look at him. “I’m glad you’re okay.” He smiled but before he could answer, the door opened and Ethan appeared. “Camila,” he called, voice low. “Come with me for a moment.” I blinked, glanced back at Greg — who gave me a small nod, something between permission and relief — and rose to my feet. My body still wasn’t fully healed; pain tugged at my muscles with every step, but I followed Ethan out anyway. The door shutting behind us with a soft click. Once we were in the hallway, away from the sickroom smell, Ethan exhaled like he’d been holding his breath for hours. “The elders want to speak with us.” “About what?” I asked, even though part of me already knew. He rubbe

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 214: My Pack Won

    It was crazy how fast everything happened. One moment we were fighting for our lives. The next… we were standing in the ruins of victory and loss. My pack won. But my father died. I kept turning that contradiction over in my head, again and again, like a wound I couldn’t stop picking. The threat was gone. And still, somehow, it felt like we had lost more than any battlefield could ever take. People said winning felt good. No one ever warned me that victory could taste like blood. I didn’t even remember how I was taken inside. I think Ethan carried me, or maybe I walked. Maybe I collapsed and someone dragged me. The details blur every time I try to recall them. All I truly remember is the pain: the burning in my side, the pulsing in my head, the emptiness in my chest. When I woke up next, I was in a bed I didn’t recognize, wrapped in rough blankets, body heavy as stone. My throat was dry, swollen from crying. Every muscle screamed like it had been torn apart and stitched wrong

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 213: That Would Be A Lie

    I tore myself out of Ethan’s arms so fast it hurt, nearly slipping in the blood-smeared dirt as I lunged toward the man who had protected us moments ago.“Dad!” I screamed. My entire body felt electrified, every nerve firing at once. I dropped to my knees beside him, hands reaching out, trying to lift him, trying to stop the fall that had already happened.He hit the ground face-first before I could catch him.“No, please,” I gasped, grabbing his shoulder and turning him over. His head lolled, his lips parting as he tried to force air into lungs that suddenly refused to cooperate.Where was the wound?Was he stabbed?Clawed?Hit in the head?But with the amount of blood on his body, it was likely all of it.“Dad!” My voice was barely intelligible through the shaking. “Look at me. Please. Open your eyes!”His eyelids fluttered, then drifted shut again.It felt like a fist closed around my heart.Ethan staggered toward us, limping, clutching his side as though his ribs were burning. Hi

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 212: Please, No!

    Ethan forced himself upright again and wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand.“I’m just getting started,” he rasped.His father moved again, faster this time but Ethan managed to duck under the sword, barely avoiding the blade by an inch, but he was too slow to fully escape. The sword cut across his back, tearing through skin. He stumbled forward, catching himself on his hands, gasping in pain.“No!” I cried.I ran to him, ignoring everything — fear, the danger, and especially common sense — and grabbed him before he hit the ground completely.He sagged against me, blood warm on my fingers.“Camila… stay back…” he wheezed.“Shut up,” I whispered, voice shaking. “Just— shut up.”Footsteps approached.Ethan’s father stood over us, sword catching the light, eyes flat and emotionless.I spread my arms instinctively, shielding Ethan with my body even though I was shaking so hard I could barely hold still.Ethan tried to pull me behind him, but he was too weak.His father

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 211: STOP!

    He tried to stand but Ethan’s father kicked him in the ribs, sending him sprawling onto his back.I stayed frozen, panic ripping through my chest like claws.My father coughed violently, struggling to breathe. Blood dripped down his lip.Ethan’s father didn’t even look winded. He took one slow step forward, sword pointed down at my father like he was preparing to end it.Ethan jerked forward in my arms. “Father! stop!” he rasped.His father didn’t even bother to look at him, his gaze still fixed on the man bleeding beneath him. “If you want to protect her, you should’ve chosen better.”I felt Ethan’s whole body tense with fury. His hand clawed into the dirt. “You… fucking… bastard.”The insult only brought a smirk to his father’s face as he lifted the sword.I couldn’t breathe.My father rolled out of the way at the last second as the sword slammed into the ground, sending debris flying.He staggered to his feet — barely — swaying, clutching his ribs. His movements were slower now. Hi

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 210: Watch Out!

    I shifted slightly behind Ethan instinctively, but my father stepped directly in front of us.“You’ll have to pass through me,” he said, claws flexing, muscles taut, eyes fixed on Ethan’s father like he was daring him to take a single step forward.My heart jumped into my throat.Father?I clutched at Ethan, trying to anchor him, to let him know that I was here, even though I was also in pain and my body trembled, I wanted him to know that he wasn’t alone. I could feel every heartbeat, his and mine, pulsing together.His father stepped closer, measuring my father as if testing him, his sword catching the sunlight, each movement a threat.Ethan shifted, just slightly, but I could feel the strain in him. He was hurt, bleeding, exhausted. Every inch of him screamed in pain. But his eyes — God, his eyes — never left his father’s. The tension hung in the air. The sounds of battle around us faded into a dull hum. It was just the four of them now — Ethan, my father, his father, and me, caug
