Fifty-eight minutes had already passed.

  • FATED TO MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA.   The contract.

    Braxton had given me one hour.Fifty-eight minutes had already passed.I stood by the edge of Micah’s hospital bed, my heart hammering a frantic, erratic beat against my ribs. My phone sat heavy and cold inside my coat pocket, the screen still burned into my mind with his two brief texts. He didn't make empty threats. If the clock hit sixty minutes and I wasn't back in his presence, he wouldn't hesitate to come looking for me. And if he stepped foot into this hospital, if he found out about Micah..."Mommy?" Micah’s raspy voice broke through the panic paralyzing my limbs.He was sitting up slightly against his thin pillows, his eyes heavy with exhaustion but wide enough to track my every move. The plastic oxygen cannula rested beneath his nose, his small chest rising and falling in a steady, reassuring rhythm.I forced every trace of terror out of my face, stepping closer to tuck his blanket around his small shoulders. "I'm right here, my love.""Are you leaving again?" he asked, h

  • FATED TO MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA.   Don't make me come find you.

    The sliding glass doors parted with a soft hiss, and I sprinted into the hospital lobby.My chest burned with every shallow breath. Sweat slicked my hairline, sticking dark strands of hair to my skin, but I couldn't slow my pace.Every minute I had wasted arguing with Braxton, every second spent kneeling in that hotel suite, weighed on my chest like lead.While I was letting him degrade me for paper bills, my four-year-old son was suffocating in an emergency room bed.If I hadn't let Braxton drag out his twisted game, I would have been here twenty minutes ago.The nurse behind the admissions counter stood up the moment my feet hit the tile floor."Thank God you're here, Scarlett," she said, quickly rounding the corner with a clipboard clutched against her scrub top."Where is he?" My voice was barely a sound. I had to grip the edge of the counter to keep my legs under me. "Where's Micah?""He took a severe turn ten minutes ago," she said, her voice fast and clipped as she thrust a pen

  • FATED TO MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA.   I'll find you?

    I couldn't breathe. Air was coming in short, ragged, hyperventilating gasps. Hot tears finally spilled over my cheeks, blurring my vision as the ringing sound drilled into my brain."It's not... it's not what you think!" I sobbed out, lunging for him again, my fingers uselessly scraping against his chest."Then what is it?" he demanded, his voice booming over the music.I reached for him, every last shred of my dignity, my pride, and my strength crumbling into dust right in front of him."Please..." My voice broke into a desperate, agonizing sob as the phone kept ringing. "Please, just let me answer it!”The phone continued to ring. Each shrill chime felt like a countdown, every passing second tightening the knot around my chest until I could barely breathe. "Braxton, please." I reached for the phone again, my fingers brushing against his hand before he lifted it higher, effortlessly keeping it out of my reach. "Please, give it back." He looked down at me without a trace of sympathy

  • FATED TO MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA.   Do what whores do.

    "You're just another whore now." He sneered. "And you'll do what a whore is paid to do." The words struck me like a physical blow, knocking the air from my lungs. For a heartbeat, I could only stare at him. Five years ago, Braxton had glared at any pack member who dared look at me for too long. He used to drape his jacket over my shoulders whenever he thought my dress showed too much skin, muttering that I belonged in his arms, not beneath another man's eyes. Now those same eyes looked at me with nothing but contempt. The ache in my chest spread until it became difficult to breathe, but I forced every tear back. Crying wouldn't change his mind, and it certainly wouldn't pay for the treatment waiting for my son. Braxton leaned back against the leather sofa, every movement slow and deliberate. He spread his legs, his posture calm, commanding, and utterly merciless. "You asked if I'd let you leave," he said, his voice frighteningly even. "Here's your deal." He reached into his ja

  • FATED TO MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA.   Was there another man?

    Little stepsister?The blood drained from my face.He knew.Every desperate hope I'd clung to since walking into the VIP lounge crumbled in an instant.My lips parted, but no sound came out.How long had he known?Since the moment I stepped through the door?Since he ordered them to bring me over?Or had he recognised me the second our eyes met?My silence seemed to amuse him."You actually believed that mask would fool me?" he asked, giving a slow shake of his head. "Five years apart, and that's the best disguise you could come up with?"I instinctively reached for the mask.Before my fingers could touch it, Braxton let go of my wrist and grabbed the edge of the silver fabric himself.The ribbon snapped.The mask scraped across my cheek as he ripped it away, leaving behind a sharp sting before it landed somewhere on the floor.Cool air brushed against my face.There was nowhere left to hide.His eyes travelled over every familiar feature as though committing them to memory all over a

  • FATED TO MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA.   Little stepsister.

    The phone ringing shattered the silence between us.One of the men glanced at the screen before walking over to Braxton. "Alpha, your Luna is calling."Luna.The word hit me harder than it should have.My fingers curled against my skirt as I kept my head lowered, afraid that if I looked at him for too long, he'd recognise me despite the mask.Of course he had a Luna.Five years had passed.Five years since I'd disappeared from his life without a single explanation.What had I expected?That he'd spend every day mourning a woman who had betrayed him?That he'd refuse to move on because of a promise we'd made as reckless teenagers?A bitter smile tugged at my lips.How foolish.The men waited for Braxton to answer the call, but instead, he glanced at the phone before lifting one hand."Later." He dismissed it.His Beta frowned. "Alpha, it's your…""I said later." He growled low.The room fell silent again.No one questioned him. No one dared to.One by one, the men rose from their seats
