The walk to a quieter spot felt like miles. Each step made my heart thud harder in my chest, and I couldn’t tell if it was nerves or the fact that I was voluntarily putting myself through this. Maybe both.

Once we were far enough from the group of nosy idiots, I turned to face Ethan, determined to get this over with. My mouth opened, and before I could stop myself, words just started spilling out.

“Okay, first off, I feel like my reaction to you that night was completely justified,” I began, gesturing wildly with the coffee cup in my hand. “I mean, any sane, normal person would’ve been creeped out finding a guy following them, only for said guy to turn into something… something not exactly human.”

Ethan blinked, his expression blank, and it made me even more nervous. Why wasn’t he saying anything? Did he not agree? Oh God, was he offended?

“And, like, can you blame me?” I barreled on, unable to stop the verbal diarrhea. “It’s not every day you see someone transform into…

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 188: Not Ever Again

    As I walked through the hallway, my boots didn’t make a sound, not because I was trying especially hard, but because silence had become second nature to me. When you’ve survived as long as I have, you learn to move like a ghost—present but unseen. I exhaled slowly, rolling the tension out of my shoulders as I approached the room where I’d left Camila. My ribs ached, the faint throb of the injury I hadn’t fully healed still reminding me it was there, but it was background noise compared to the thoughts storming in my head. The alpha’s face when I mentioned his wife—gods, that look. I could still taste the fear radiating off him. But even that satisfaction dulled as I pushed the door open to Camila’s room and slipped inside. She was there. Curled up on the narrow bed, blanket around her legs, one arm tucked beneath her head. The faint light spilling through the shutters painted her in soft shadows. I shut the door behind me, quieter this time, and leaned against it for a moment, l

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 187: Pathetic

    The words landed like a blade to the chest. I watched the color drain from his face—first the faint tightening around his mouth, then the way his eyes flickered, wide, panic bleeding through the rage he’d been clinging to. His skin went pale, his grip on the chair slackening. “What?” he rasped, almost too quiet to hear. I just stared at him, leaning lazily against the doorframe, letting the silence stretch. The firelight flickered across his face, painting him hollow. I smiled and slipped out the door. He surged to his feet with a choked sound, stumbling forward like the ground beneath him had vanished. His heavy steps thundered across the rug until he slammed against the door, yanking it open with a snarl of desperation. “What do you mean?” His voice cracked, all that alpha authority gone in an instant, stripped raw. “She’s here!” I tilted my head, eyes gleaming with a kind of cruel amusement. “Oh…” My grin widened, eyes practically glowing with excitement. “Of course. She’s h

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 86: Savage From Knoxl

    Steady. Calm. Sleeping—that’s what I thought. But the second the door creaked, I froze. He wasn’t in bed. No, the bastard was sitting there like he’d been waiting for me the whole damn time. A hulking shadow in a wide chair near the hearth, posture relaxed but eyes sharp, like a predator who’d scented me before I even entered. “You finally came,” he said. His voice was deep, smooth, too damn calm for someone who should’ve been startled out of his sleep. My eyes flicked away from him, darting toward the massive bed across the room. That’s when I saw her—a girl curled beneath the heavy furs, chest rising and falling in soft, steady rhythm. Bait. My lip curled into a humorless smile. “Took you long enough,” he added, eyes never leaving me. “Well,” I drawled, stepping inside and shutting the door behind me with a soft click, “I was putting your daughter to sleep.” The glare he gave me could’ve cut stone. I chuckled low, leaning back against the door for a second just to let the

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 185: Found You

    ETHAN ~ I lay there, flat on my back, staring up at the wooden beams of the ceiling, every muscle in my body screaming at me to rest. But I couldn’t—not with her breathing so softly beside me, like nothing had happened. Camila. I turned my head slightly, careful not to jolt the bed, and watched her face. She was curled on her side, lashes pressed against her cheeks, hair spilling across the pillow. Peaceful. Too peaceful. It made my chest ache in a way I couldn’t describe. She’d been through a lot, and somehow she still found a way to sleep. I let my gaze linger on her face. I couldn’t believe it—Maria. That stubborn little red-haired brat actually helped the bastards into our pack. I should’ve ripped her throat out the second I saw that hunger in her eyes, that obsession she thought she could disguise. She wanted me, and she thought she could get me by taking Camila out of the picture. The one person I couldn’t stand losing. My sweet little angel. I clenched my jaw and force

    I jerked back, smacking his hand with a sharp slap. My face went hot immediately. “Are you insane? You can barely sit properly!” He winced, but not from the slap. His grin was shameless, the kind of boyish grin that almost made me forgive him. “I’m fine.” “You’re not fine!” I shot back, glaring even though my cheeks burned. He tilted his head, giving me that wounded-puppy look. “But I miss you.” The words came out like a whine, half-playful but laced with want. I groaned, rubbing my forehead with both hands. “Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I can’t believe I spent the whole night worried sick over your horny ass.” That broke him. He laughed. Loud, unrestrained, the kind of laugh that rumbled out of his chest and shook his shoulders even though it clearly hurt his side. I couldn’t hold the glare. The corners of my lips twitched, then cracked, and before I knew it, I was laughing right along with him. We laughed so hard our eyes watered. Every time we tried to stop, one of

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 183: Nothing At All!

    That night was the longest night of my life. I sat by Ethan’s side, not moving, not even daring to blink for too long. His skin burned like fire under my palm, his whole body trapped in a fever. The healer had left herbs and strange-smelling pastes, had reassured me it was “normal” for the body to purge heat after so much blood loss, but none of her words made me feel better. Every minute that passed felt like a thread pulling tighter around my throat. He tossed and turned, his breathing shallow, sweat slicking his forehead. I wiped it again and again with the damp cloth Lyra had left me. It felt like nothing helped. Nothing at all! If only there was something I could do. My heart clenched each time he groaned, each time he whispered something I couldn’t quite catch. Sometimes I thought he was calling my name. Sometimes I thought it was his pack. Sometimes it was just a low, broken sound that made me want to scream. I didn’t sleep. Not a wink. My body ached, my eyes stung,
