Kyle.

I broke three punching bags in the training room before Dad found me.

My knuckles were bleeding. Skin torn open and healing too slowly because the bond was draining everything. Every ounce of energy. Every bit of strength. My wolf howled inside my head, a constant noise that never stopped. Four days. Only four days and I was already falling apart.

Dad stood in the doorway and watched me destroy a fourth bag. Sand spilled across the floor. I didn't stop. Couldn't stop. If I stopped moving,

  • Forbidden: My Stepbrother, My Mate   Chapter 191

    Ella.Luna Counsel had grown beyond anything I'd imagined. What started as a small support organization was now a nationwide network helping thousands of people navigate the complexities of human-werewolf relationships.We had counselors in every major city, support groups meeting weekly, and resources available online for anyone who needed them.My inbox was already full of messages. A new counselor in Seattle asking for guidance on a difficult case. A couple in Chicago requesting information about bonding ceremonies. A journalist wanting to interview me about integration progress. A mother worried about her daughter who'd just bonded with a werewolf.I answered them all, drawing on fifteen years of experience navigating this complicated world. Each message represented a person, a family, a story unfolding in real time. I took that responsibility seriously.My role as Director of Integration and Mental Health under the International Werewolf Coalition had expanded even further. I tra

    Ella.Fifteen years ago, I woke up in my father's house terrified of the future.This morning, I woke beside my husband and realized the future had arrived faster than either of us expected.Kyle was already awake, staring at the ceiling with that distant look he got when something was bothering him."What's wrong?" I asked, immediately alert.He turned to look at me, his expression softening. "Nothing's wrong. I was just thinking.""About what?""About how far we've come. Fifteen years, Ella. Fifteen years since the bond formed and turned our entire world upside down."I propped myself up on my elbow, studying his face. "Are you having regrets?""God, no. The opposite, actually. I'm amazed we made it here. That we survived everything thrown at us and came out stronger."I knew what he meant. The bond complications that nearly killed him. The integration challenges. The political battles. The triad bond with Jason that had caused so much chaos when it first appeared. Every obstacle th

    Kyle.Then everyone stood as one, applause thundering through the space. The ovation went on for several minutes, people cheering and clapping until their hands hurt.I was crying. Ella was crying. My father was crying. Even Jason looked suspiciously emotional.Kael tugged on my sleeve. "Why everyone clapping?""Because your sister is amazing."The rest of the ceremony passed in a blur. Diplomas were distributed, more speeches were given, and finally the new graduates threw their caps in the air in the traditional celebration.We met Maya outside afterward, where she was immediately swarmed by well-wishers. Pack leaders wanted to shake her hand, fellow graduates wanted pictures, Academy instructors wanted to congratulate her one final time.When she finally made it to us, Kael launched himself at her with a shriek of "MAYA!"She caught him easily, spinning him around. "Hey, little brother!"I pulled her into a tight hug, diploma and all. "I'm so proud of you. That speech was incredibl

    Kyle.The day my daughter graduated from the Werewolf Leadership Academy started with me standing in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie for the fifth time."You're nervous," Ella observed from the doorway, already dressed in an elegant navy dress that made her look absolutely stunning."I'm not nervous.""You've been messing with that tie for ten minutes."I dropped my hands. "Fine. Maybe a little nervous.""She's going to be amazing. You know that.""I do know that. But watching your fifteen-year-old daughter give a speech in front of half the werewolf leadership in the country is still terrifying."Ella crossed the room and fixed my tie properly, her touch gentle and reassuring. Through our bond, I felt her own mixture of pride and nervousness."We raised an incredible young woman," she said softly. "Today we get to watch the world recognize what we've always known.""Dada! Mama! Kael ready!"Our three-year-old burst into the room wearing his little suit, looking impossibly adora

    Ella."Hi," Kael said quietly, half-hiding behind Maya's legs."Hi, Kael. I've heard so much about you. Maya tells me you're very smart.""I'm smart," Kael agreed, peeking out curiously."Do you like stories?""Love stories!""Me too. Maybe I can read you one later?""Okay!" Kael's shyness evaporated at the promise of a story.Throughout the evening, I noticed Marc continuing his attempts to get Maya's attention. He volunteered to help her with the younger kids, complimented her outfit, asked about her Academy experiences. Maya responded politely but without any particular interest, her focus remaining on Kael and the other children.At one point, Kyle leaned close to me. "Should we be concerned about that?""About Marc? No. Maya's not interested. She's made that clear without being rude about it.""Good. She's too young for serious relationship complications.""Agreed. Though I remember being fourteen and thinking I was very mature.""You were mature. But also fourteen."Through the

    Ella."He's really developed his abilities since I was last home," Maya observed. "His control seems much better.""It is. The elders have been working with him consistently. They say his progress is unprecedented.""That's good. Really good. Has he had any episodes of losing control?""Not in months," Kyle answered. "The monthly rituals seem to be working perfectly. He's learning to regulate his power instinctively now.""Good. That's really good." Maya paused, then smiled. "He's going to be something special when he grows up.""He already is," I said softly. "Just like his big sister."Maya blushed slightly at the compliment but didn't argue. She'd grown more comfortable accepting praise over the past year.The next few days passed in a blur of family activities. Maya spent most of her time with Kael, who continued following her everywhere like a devoted shadow."Maya play trucks?""Sure, buddy. Which ones?""All trucks! Every single truck!""That's a lot of trucks.""I have many tr

    Ella.His lips were an inch from mine when my phone exploded with Jade's ringtone.The spell shattered. Kyle jerked back like I'd burned him, putting three feet of distance between us in less than a second. His chest heaved with ragged breaths, and his eyes had that amber glow again. The wolf risin

    Ella.The silence stretched impossibly long. Everyone was watching. Waiting. Phone cameras pointed at us from multiple angles. This moment being recorded. Shared. Posted online before I could even answer.I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. My throat had closed up completely, like someone had wrap

    Ella.The bathroom mirror showed exactly what I'd been avoiding all morning.Dark purple shadows under my eyes that no amount of concealer could hide. Skin so pale I looked sick, like I'd spent the last week locked in a basement without sunlight. Hair pulled into a messy bun because I'd been too ti

    Ella.The sound broke through the haze. Broke through the moment. Shattered it completely.Kyle jerked back like I'd burned him. Like I'd shocked him. His eyes went wide. Panicked. The gold fading slightly as reality crashed back in.Footsteps in the hallway. Getting closer. Getting louder.I press
