Chase’s P.O.V

I barely had time to register the cold air of Alexander’s bedroom before my back hit the mattress.

One second I was stepping across the threshold, hesitant, heart pounding out of sync with my thoughts—and the next, he had pushed me down with a force so graceful it barely made a sound.

For some reason, I felt heat surge from my neck to my face.

His room was dark, the curtains drawn tightly, the air thick with something that didn’t belong to this world. I tried to look around, to see what kind of space the enigma that was my stepbrother called his own, but I couldn’t focus. Not with him leaning over me.

Not with the weight of his body pressing against mine.

His hand was beside my head, fingers curled loosely against the sheets. The other gripped my waist, firm, possessive, like I’d already been claimed. He was looking down at me with those cold, unreadable blue eyes—so sharp, so inhuman in their stillness—that I couldn’t breathe right. My chest heaved, my limbs stiff again

  • Claimed by My Vampire Stepbrother   Chapter 40: In Danger

    Alex’s P.O.VLucia’s words “Chase is in danger!” hit me like a blade, slicing through the fog of my argument with Dominic, and I felt three things in one instance: scared, confused and angry...My heart lurched, a painful thud against my ribs, and I was moving before I could think, my boots pounding the linoleum as I ran toward the men’s washroom without thinking twice.Dominic and Lucia were right behind me, their footsteps echoing in the nearly empty hallway, but all I could hear was the blood roaring in my ears. Chase. I’d screwed up badly.Threatening him in the parking lot, choking him out to prove he meant nothing, was supposed to keep the Dahlia coven off his back, to make sure no vampire saw him as my weakness.But I’d been an idiot, blind to the human vultures circling him, the ones I’d scared off weeks ago with a single glare. Brad and his crew, they’d taken my public stunt as a green light, a sign my protection was gone. And now Chase was paying for my mistake.The washroom

  • Claimed by My Vampire Stepbrother   Chapter 39: Seeing Through Me

    Alex’s P.O.VThe school’s fluorescent-lit hallway felt like a prison as I moved toward my next class, the monotony of high school grating on my nerves like something I can't really explain.Same classes, same faces, same pointless charade I’d repeated for decades to blend in. I stifled a yawn, my boots scuffing the linoleum, my mind drifting to anything but the calculus lecture waiting for me.Chase’s face flashed in my head, his angry green eyes in the parking lot, the way he’d snapped at me, calling me a bipolar asshole. The memory sparked a mix of irritation and something heavier, something I didn’t want to name.I’d choked him, threatened him, and yet the thought of him lingered, a splinter I couldn’t pull out of my mind, the thought was really clouding me and kind of driving me crazy…..“Yo, Alex!” Dominic’s voice cut through my thoughts, his easy grin appearing as he fell into step beside me. His dark hair was messy, his leather jacket slung over one shoulder, but his hazel eyes

  • Claimed by My Vampire Stepbrother   Chapter 38: Vaughan

    Chase’s P.O.VVaughan Crusnik’s presence beside me in history class was like a magnet, pulling my attention despite the chaos still churning in my head from Alex’s outburst in the parking lot.His dark hair fell just right, his sharp jaw and faint scar giving him a rugged edge that screamed vampire at least, that’s what my gut told me anyways...Devil’s Lake was crawling with them, and good looks like his? Practically a dead giveaway. But doubt nagged at me. He didn’t have that cold, predatory vibe Alex or Daphne carried, and something about his easy smirk felt… human. I stole another glance, my heart doing a weird flip when his dark eyes flicked to mine.“Hey,” he said, turning in his seat, his voice low and warm. “I’m Vaughan, in case you missed it earlier. You’re Chase, right?”I nodded, caught off guard by his politeness. “Yeah, uh, Chase Tanning,” I said, my voice steadier than I felt. “Weird...I thought we were done with introductions already.”He chuckled, a sound that eased th

  • Claimed by My Vampire Stepbrother   Chapter 37: Change of Heart

    Chase’s P.O.VThe school parking lot buzzed with noise, but my focus was locked on Alex as he stepped out of his car, his leather jacket catching the morning sun.Dominic’s laugh echoed beside him, but I barely noticed, my heart pounding with a mix of determination and nerves. This was it, my chance to thank him for last night, to maybe get a glimpse of whatever he was hiding.I weaved through the crowd, my sneakers scuffing the asphalt, and hurried toward him, my breath hitching as I blocked his path. “Alex, wait,” I said, my voice louder than I meant, drawing a few curious glances from the people around….He stopped, his blue eyes narrowing, and for a split second, I thought I saw a flicker of something, surprise, maybe? But then his expression hardened that instant again, and he pushed me aside, his hand rough against my shoulder.“Get out of my way, Chase,” he snapped, his voice cold and cutting, like I was nothing but a nuisance who was disturbing his peace of mind.The gratitude

  • Claimed by My Vampire Stepbrother   Chapter 36: Sweet New Ride

    Chase’s P.O.VThe morning after the nightmare at Devil’s Lake, I woke up feeling like I’d been hit by a truck over and over again.My body was fine thanks to Alex’s weird blood-healing trick but my mind was a mess, tangled with images of Daphne’s fangs, Alex’s red eyes, and the way he’d vanished from my room like I was toxic and disgusting to him.I stared at the ceiling, the mansion’s weird shadows waving across it, and considered skipping school. The idea of facing the whispers, the stares, the chance of running into another psycho vampire like Daphne made my stomach churn with fear.But I couldn’t hide forever, and I needed to see Keith, to make sure he was okay after that stolen phone scare. With a groan, I dragged myself out of bed, the floor cold under my feet, and started getting ready, my movements sluggish but determined.Downstairs, the dining room was bright with morning light, the long table set with plates of pancakes and bacon. The smell should’ve been comforting, but it

  • Claimed by My Vampire Stepbrother   Chapter 35: Avoiding the Truth

    Alex’s P.O.VThe dark halls of the Marshall mansion loomed around me as I moved toward my father’s study, my boots echoing against the polished wood floor.My heart still beat with the aftershocks of tonight’s events: Chase’s trembling form, the taste of his fear, the possessive rage that had surged when I saw Daphne’s fangs near his neck.I’d summoned my father, needing his wisdom to untangle the mess in my head, but now, standing before his heavy oak door, doubt gnawed at me.What was I even going to say? That I couldn’t stop thinking about my stepbrother? That his blood, his touch, was driving me insane? I shook my head, shoving the thoughts down, and knocked, the sound sharp in the silence around me.“Enter,” came my father’s voice, deep and commanding, from the other side.I pushed the door open, stepping into the study’s warm glow. The room was a fortress of knowledge shelves lined with ancient tomes, a massive desk designed with maps and artifacts, the air filled with the scent
