The warmth from the shower still clung to my skin as I stepped out, wrapping a towel around myself before grabbing another to rub through my hair.

I padded barefoot upstairs, the wooden steps cool under my feet, and pushed my bedroom door open with my hip. The room was dim, the only light coming from the streetlamp outside my window, casting long shadows against the walls. I walked straight to my bed, tossing my phone onto the nightstand before sitting down and continuing to towel-dry my hair.

A soft buzz.

I blinked, glancing at my phone.

A text from Tess.

Tess: Hey, did you do the assignment yet? Mr. Parker is definitely out for blood this time.

I groaned, rolling my eyes. Shit. The assignment. I had completely forgotten.

Fingers still slightly damp, I typed back a quick response.

Me: Crap. No. I completely forgot. Guess I’m dying in class on Monday.

Dropping the phone onto my nightstand, I leaned back against my pillows, still rubbing my towel through my h

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 145: Replace It With Mine

    Liam dropped the gun quickly, his back hitting the wall as Ethan stepped forward. “Hey,” Liam said quickly, hands half-raised, his voice a notch higher than before, the polished confidence gone. “Think about this. I’m the son of a high-ranking official in the agency. You know who I’m talking about.” Ethan didn’t blink. “Killing me,” Liam went on, backing further against the moldy stone, “would put your kind in a very precarious position. You’d be lighting the fuse on a war you can’t win. My father won’t just sit back—he’ll come for all of you. Then HER.” That made Ethan stop. I sat up, shakily, my ribs aching, my face pulsing with heat where Liam had struck me. Blood was crusting along my lip. I didn’t even realize how hard I was crying until I felt the warm trails soaking my collar. Ethan turned away from Liam, like the man was a buzzing fly not worth swatting. His glowing eyes landed on me. And then everything about him—his stance, his shoulders, even his breathing—s

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 144: He Was FERAL

    A breath had barely made it past my lips before it happened. The door slammed open. Not creaked, not gently opened—slammed, with a force that rattled the walls and made the rotted wood beneath me jump. It echoed through the rafters like a cannon blast. And then chaos erupted. A group of men stormed in—armed, all of them. Thick bulletproof vests, weapons gripped tight, boots stomping over decayed floorboards like thunder. “He’s here!” one of them shouted, eyes wide and frantic. I blinked. He? My heart skidded into my throat. Ethan? Liam whipped his head toward the door, his hand still knotted painfully in my hair. “What?!” The men moved like they’d trained for this—rushing to windows, the walls, flanking the entrance with sharp precision, their weapons all pointed out toward the thick trees beyond. Liam’s grip loosened just enough for me to breathe. He stood up fast, furious. “How the fuck did he get here so quickly?!” I didn’t dare move. My entire body ha

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 143: Please Come

    CAMILA ~ “Where is Tessa?!” I shouted, the words ripping from my throat like fire. My fists clenched at my sides, shaking as I took a step toward Liam. “You said you had her—where is she?!” Liam’s smirk only widened, as if he’d been waiting for that. “Easy,” he beamed, holding up his hands like I needed calming. “She’s safe.” I blinked, breath catching. “What?” I asked, my voice cracking. “What the hell does that mean?” He shrugged lazily, like we were having a conversation over coffee. “It means she wasn’t kidnapped in the first place.” For a moment, all I could do was stare. The floor felt like it fell out from beneath me. My voice was a thin whisper now. “What…?” “Well,” he drawled, tapping his temple mockingly, “she’s human. We’re not idiots. We don’t hurt humans if we can help it. Especially not ones like her. She’s harmless. Sweet. Soft. The kind of girl you wrap in bubble wrap and keep far away from monsters.” He took a slow step forward. “You? You’re t

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 142: Burn The World Down

    ETHAN ~ I was covered in blood—some of it mine, most of it not. My breaths came out ragged, heavy, each inhale scraping the inside of my chest like sandpaper. I stood there, panting in the middle of the forest clearing, surrounded by the torn-up remains of the agents who thought they could corner me. Idiots. Persistent, suicidal idiots. I forgot about them for a second. Just one goddamn second. “Fuck!” I hissed, eyes snapping shut. “Ethan!” Her voice hit me like lightning to the spine. Camila. Shit. Her voice was calling out, sharp and a little panicked, from the direction of the cabin. I felt a chill crawl down my back that had nothing to do with the breeze. My body moved before my brain did. I shoved past the broken branches, crunching dead leaves under my boots, pushing hard toward her. My hands were still shaking. Blood was still dripping off my knuckles, warm and sticky. My chest tightened with panic—no, dread. I didn’t remember smelling anyone near the cabin.

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 141: This Girl Was A Stranger

    I didn’t even feel the phone slide from my fingers. It hit the wooden floor with a soft clack. My knees bent, hands gripping the edge of the couch as I tried to suck air back into my lungs. No, no, no. This wasn’t happening. I snatched the phone back up and checked the screen. I kept blinking, hoping it would change. Hoping I’d blink hard enough and see Tessa’s name, her bubbly little contact picture, something real and stupid and safe. But it didn’t. It was just dead air and that one damn phrase looping in my head. “If you’re not there in thirty minutes… consider your friend dead.” I didn’t even realize the tears had started. They just came—hot, fat streaks rolling down my cheeks as I stood there, trembling, one hand clutching my phone like it might anchor me to this moment. To reality. “Tessa,” I whispered. “Oh my god… no, no, no…” The panic hit next—like a wave knocking me flat. My knees went weak. I clutched the edge of the couch with my free hand and bent forw

  • Claimed By My Stepbrother    CHAPTER 140: Who Are You ?

    Ethan stood by the door. “I’ll be back in a bit,” he said, eyes scanning through the window before locking onto me. “Don’t leave the cabin.” I raised an eyebrow from where I was curled up on the couch with a blanket wrapped around me like a burrito. “Not that I planned on going on a scenic hike through deathville, but thanks.” He didn’t smile, not really, but his mouth twitched just enough. “Just stay inside.” “Got it,” I let out, giving him a dramatic salute. “No venturing into the woods in my pajamas. Understood, Captain.” That got me a real smile. Brief, crooked. Then he was out the door, shutting it behind him with a firm click, and I was left in that big, echoey silence that only cabins in the middle of nowhere could deliver. I stared at the door for a minute, letting the silence settle. It wasn’t bad silence, necessarily. Just... empty. And I wasn’t used to empty anymore. Not since Ethan started hovering like a bodyguard with boundary issues. I sighed, dragging mys
