ISABELLA

I stared at him, completely lost.

Rohan was laughing.

Not loudly.

Not like something was funny.

It was darker than that—low and rough, the sound scraping out of his chest like he couldn’t decide whether to be amused or exhausted.

Meanwhile my entire world had just collapsed.

I tightened my fingers against my sleeve. “Why are you laughing?”

Rohan dragged a hand down his face before looking at me again.

“So that’s why you’ve been acting strange.”

My brows pulled together immediately.

  • Fated to the Alpha Stepbrother   CHAPTER 61-Black Magic

    61ISABELLAI stared at the Seer completely lost.“Black magic?”The words sounded dangerous.But honestly?I had no idea what they actually meant.The Seer looked more shaken than I had ever seen her before. Her pale fingers trembled slightly while she stared at me like she was trying to piece together a puzzle she wished she never touched.“I don’t understand,” I admitted quietly. “What does that even mean?”The broken candles around the hut still smoked from whatever had just happened.The air itself felt wrong now.Heavy.Like something dark had settled into the walls.I swallowed hard before speaking again.“I saw my mother.”That finally snapped the Seer out of whatever spiral she had fallen into.Her eyes narrowed slightly.“What did she say?”I told her everything.About my father.About their relationship.About how she used her magic to strengthen him until the Council feared him.And most importantly—How she said their relationship cost everything.The Seer listened silent

  • Fated to the Alpha Stepbrother   CHAPTER 60- Breaking the Spell.

    60ISABELLAThe walk to the Seer’s hut felt longer than usual.Maybe because my mind refused to stay quiet.Maybe because every answer only seemed to create ten more questions.A binding spell.The words alone had changed everything.My mother had sealed my powers away intentionally.But why?The question kept clawing at me no matter how hard I tried to reason through it.Maybe she knew my father would never approve.Maybe she knew what the Council would’ve done if they discovered what I truly was.A witch, and a hybrid.Even thinking the word still felt unnatural.Witches and wolves already hated each other enough without creating something that should never exist in the first place.Maybe she was protecting me.Or maybe…Maybe she was protecting everyone else from me.That thought made my stomach tighten painfully.The carriage finally slowed near the edge of the forest.The Seer stepped down first while I followed behind her quietly.The familiar hut came into view hidden between t

  • Fated to the Alpha Stepbrother   CHAPTER 59- The Marriage Pretense

    59ROHANThe whiskey burned down my throat but tonight even that wasn’t enough to quiet my thoughts.Bellamy sat across from me in the study looking far too relaxed for someone who had spent the last few weeks dealing with pack chaos while Mr. Azreal stood near the fireplace with another glass in hand.“You know,” Bellamy said casually, “it’s strange seeing you become a family man.”Mr. Azreal laughed loudly.“I was just thinking the same thing.”I forced out a quiet chuckle despite the strange feeling settling in my chest.Family man.The words felt unnatural attached to me.Marriage itself already felt unnatural enough lately.Not because I regretted the arrangement.Because things had gotten complicated.More complicated than I ever intended.Mr. Azreal took another sip from his drink before looking toward me again.“Have you chosen a suit yet?”I frowned slightly.“A suit?”“For the wedding,” he clarified like I had personally offended him by forgetting. “You cannot tell me you pl

  • Fated to the Alpha Stepbrother   CHAPTER 59- A Bitter Pill To Swallow

    It was a heavy pill to swallow.A new day had dawned but my mind was still set on the past.I could recall I had visited Alpha Clinton who warned me about Rohan.Maybe there was a reason behind his warnings maybe there wasn't.But Rohan wasn't the type of man that made those type of things easy.I had gone through it over and over in my head, I wasn't a threat he wouldn't want me dead.Plus the fact of how he reacted when he found out about the miscarriage.If he was behind the attack he should know I didn't kill my baby or maybe he blamed himself for it.There were too many complexities and it made my head hurt.A knock sounded at my door and I let out a breath, my body cracking as I forced my self off the mattress.I already knew who it was.“Come in, Lila.”The door creaked open and Lila stepped inside pushing a silver trolley. Breakfast sat arranged neatly on the top shelf while folded clothes, and other supplies were at the bottom.She gave me a cautious look immediately.“Good m

  • Fated to the Alpha Stepbrother   CHAPTER 57- Trust Issues

    57ISABELLAISABELLA“He’s lying.”The words left my mouth instantly.The man tied to the tree coughed out another mouthful of blood before lifting his swollen face toward me.“I’m not lying,” he rasped painfully. “I never met the client in person.”He kept speaking but my brain refused to process the words.“There’s some kind of misunderstanding,” I snapped immediately. “That’s not possible.”Why would Rohan hire men to kill me? He came to the hospital after I regained consciousness to make sure I was doing okay.Or to make sure the killers did their job. Another voice thought suspiciously.It couldn’t be a coincidence he was always at the right place at the right time.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” I questioned Bellamy when he remained quiet.“If you’re lying...Bellamy began but the man shook his head.“I’m not,” The man licked blood from his split lip before speaking again. “You should check my phone, the bank message will still be there.”Bellamy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Wh

  • Fated to the Alpha Stepbrother   CHAPTER 56- Hybrid

    56ISABELLAI stared at my hands in horror.“No,” I whispered immediately, shaking my head hard. “No, that’s not possible.”The Seer looked exhausted.Far more exhausted than she had moments ago.“It is.”I pushed myself up too quickly, panic clawing through my chest again. “How would my powers even do that?”The Seer steadied me before I could stumble backward.“Easy,” she muttered darkly. “You were never meant to exist.”The words sent a cold chill racing down my spine.I stared at her.“What does that mean?”She released a tired breath before slowly lowering herself onto the cracked edge of the fountain.“When we first met,” she began carefully, “I was shocked because your scent made no sense.”My pulse quickened.“You smelled like a wolf,” she continued, “but your magic…” Her pale eyes lifted toward me. “Your magic felt ancient. Witch blood. Strong witch blood.”The world suddenly felt very quiet.“You think I’m…” My throat tightened. “A hybrid?”The Seer rubbed at the bluish vein

    7It didn’t make sense.How could he easily say those flirtatious words after he left so abruptly the other night the moment he saw my face clearly? Why did he look almost… disappointed?“Sir,” I managed, unsure how to address him now.He was still standing at the door, light from the hallway cutti
