“Mate.”

That four letter word hadn't left my head once since my wolf acknowledged Luella at the party. I had been waiting to meet my mate for years, hoping that it'd be someone that I could tolerate and of all people, that someone happened to be the sharp-tongued daughter of my father's newly found love.

Fucking brilliant.

  • DIRTY SECRETS: MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS MY MATE   15. KNOW YOUR PLACE

    ASHER“Mate.”That four letter word hadn't left my head once since my wolf acknowledged Luella at the party. I had been waiting to meet my mate for years, hoping that it'd be someone that I could tolerate and of all people, that someone happened to be the sharp-tongued daughter of my father's newly found love.Fucking brilliant.I should have rejected her on the spot. My father will be getting married to her mother soon and whether I like it or not, we'll become stepsiblings. There was no way anyone would accept this bond. Not me, not Luella, and definitely not our parents.And yet, every time I remembered the way she had looked at me on the floor of that party, my chest tightened into a knot.The sooner I reject her the better for everyone. She doesn’t even have a wolf yet and keeping the bond will only make her a liability for me.“She’s our mate,” My wolf snarled at the back of my mind. “You cannot reject her.”I shut him out for the third time this morning. He has been restless si

  • DIRTY SECRETS: MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS MY MATE   14. THE MORNING AFTER

    LUELLA My head felt like it was about to split open. I let out a grunt, holding onto my hair as I forced myself to sit up.Memories of last night were painfully vivid in my head: how my body was behaving so strangely, how that boy tried to force himself on me, and… Asher.He was the last person I expected to save me, and yet he did. The ghost of his touch still lingered on my skin, making my body ache with need.I knew it had to be the effect of the drug, but every time I closed my eyes, all I could think of was an image of our breath mingling, lips parted, his strong grip on my waist and how right it had felt.If hallucination was a side effect of the drug, then everything made sense. There was no way Asher would look at me with the lustful eyes that was plastered in my memory.The only emotion I had ever seen on his face when I was involved was disgust and I wouldn't be surprised if he blamed me for last night too.After all, everything happened at his girlfriend's party. If anythi

    ASHERI hadn't even stepped away from my car when Sabrina threw herself at me. “Babe! You're finally here,” she purred, wrapping her arms around my neck. “What took you so long?”“I was busy,” I replied coldly, pulling away from her. “I knew you wouldn't miss my party for anything,” she insisted, linking her arm through mine again.I was just a second away from shoving her off when one of her friends came rushing towards us.“It's happening now, Sab!” She said cheerfully before she even noticed my presence. “Should we record the whole thing? This is going to be so much fun!”Sabrina's lips curved into an evil smirk.“What are you planning?” I demanded, my eyes narrowing.“Nothing,” she purred, her voice dripping with venom. “Just teaching that little whore a lesson she'll never forget.”“What lesson?”Before she could answer, cheers and laughter broke out near the staircase. Students crowded there, holding up their phones as they recorded something they deemed hilarious.My legs move

    LUELLA After seeing the state that Asher was in, I knew he had other things to worry about than a school project, so I decided to cut him some slack this one time and do the heavy lifting.Jaxon showed up at the mansion twice to work on the project, but his idea of contributing was mostly leaning against my desk, tossing a stress ball, and constantly distracting me by asking so many questions, one would think I was the case study of the project.Still, when the grades were posted after our midterm exams, a big bold A sat next to our names.I was still annoyed at having to do practically everything by myself, but when I saw that we were the only one who got an A despite everyone turning me down and refusing me to join their groups, it felt like a personal victory.“See? I told you we'd crush it,” Jaxon said, leaning against my locker after the final bell rang. He had a lazy grin on his face, hands shoved casually into his pockets. “Why are you still here?” I shot him a look.After th

    ASHERLuella had barely made it pass the turn when the sheer strength holding me together snapped. I fell back against the locker as a groan rippled out of my throat.I panted heavily, feeling every pain that cut through my skin and I couldn't help but wince in pain. The wolfsbane has not washed up completely and Sabrina resting her weight on me like that just worsen it.“Holy shit, Ash!”Jaxon's eyes widened as he rushed over to my side. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder, careful not to touch my injury as I rested my weight on him.“Dude, what the hell?!” He snapped as he stared down at his blood sticky hand from where he had just touched my shoulder. “Are you insane? What are you even doing in school?”“I'm… fine,” I rasped through gritted teeth. My jacket was soaked in blood from how heavily I had been bleeding but there's no point whining about it.“You look like a corpse man. The fuck do you mean you're fine?” He dragged his arm over my shoulder, ignoring my attempt to push

    LUELLA“What are you planning now?” I asked as soon as the class was over.“Relax girl, we literally saved your ass,” Jaxon shrugged, looking like those kids that cared about everything but their studies. Why would he help me then? And what did he tell Asher to actually convince him to agree to it?“And why would you do that?” I asked, not looking the least convinced. My gaze shifted to Asher who was now entertaining Sabrina and completely ignoring my existence.Good. Because I never want to have anything to do with him ever again.“Because you look like someone obsessed with their grades?” Jaxon added and I scoffed.“I don't believe you.”“Then don't,” Asher chimed in. “Go to the teacher and tell him that you'd rather do it alone and get a C at max. No one is stopping you from doing that, right?”My jaw clenched but as much as I hate to admit it, he does have a point. Even though I'm confident that I can do the project on my own, I can't risk ruining my grades.“Don't get cocky with
