Ivy's POV

I woke to the thick scent of old blood and smoke clinging to the air like rot. My head pounded with a deep, pulsing ache, and my wrists throbbed where rough rope bit into raw skin.

The stone beneath me was freezing, sucking the warmth from my body as if the floor itself wanted to consume me. Every bone, every muscle felt bruised, like I’d been tossed down a mountain and left for dead.

I blinked hard, trying to force my vision to focus.

Candlelight flickered around me in a loose, eerie circle. Shadows danced along the walls, and the walls carved with symbols I didn’t recognize. But they looked ancient. This wasn’t just some hideout.

This was a shrine.

And then I saw him.

Jeremy stood a few feet away, his back turned, shirtless and barefoot, wearing nothing but a thin black cloth wrapped low around his hips. His skin glistened with sweat, and his muscles were tense.

Even before he turned, I knew it was him. I could feel the wrongness in the air, the madness radiating from him

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   Epilogue

    Epilogue.Almost two years had passed, and the garden behind Brandon and Ivy’s home was filled with the soft sounds of laughter, the gentle clinking of glasses, and the rustling of leaves above their heads as the wind moved through the trees. It was the twins’ first birthday, and they were celebrating it simply, with only the people who had walked through fire with them.A long wooden table stood beneath a canopy of flowering vines, scattered with soft pastel decorations and small wooden toys. Plates held the remains of finger foods, frosting-smudged forks, and abandoned juice cups and wine glasses, forgotten in the midst of conversation and laughter.Bella moved proudly through the garden, carrying the birthday boy like he was royalty. She refused to let anyone else near him, even though he was nearly half her size. She called him her “little prince,” and no one dared argue, not with the protective way she held him, or the fierce joy in her smile.Zelia, with the birthday girl per

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   174: First Time In Forever

    Brandon's POVThis was it. Everything I had built, everything I had fought and bled for, was crumbling right in front of me. And there was nothing I could do.My body felt dead. The connection to Kiel, my power, it was gone. Just silence. Emptiness. The numbing powder they used back at Jackie’s place had stripped me clean of everything I was.And Ivy was right there. Inches away, fading.I saw it in her eyes, the fear, the confusion, as the drug moved through her veins. She looked at me one last time before her eyelids fluttered. Her body began to go limp, her breathing slowing.They were killing her. Killing our child. And I couldn’t stop it.“Ivy!” My voice cracked as I roared her name. I pulled at the guards holding me, my body sluggish and unresponsive. I couldn’t feel my hands, couldn’t feel anything but helpless rage and crushing grief.And then something shifted.It started like a spark. Static under my skin. A twitch in my fingertips. I sucked in a breath as pain flared in my

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   173: A War is Won

    Ivy's POVWhen I regained consciousness, the first thing I felt was the cold.It was sharp and strong, wrapping around my skin like ice. The lights overhead were blinding and harsh, the kind used in operating rooms. My head pounded, my limbs ached, and then I noticed the tight pull around my wrists.I looked down.Thick leather cuffs strapped me to a narrow, metal-framed bed. My wrists were already sore, raw from struggling. I tried to move, jerked my arms, kicked my legs, but it was useless. I was locked down, completely immobilized.That’s when the panic hit.It surged like a wave, crashing into my chest and making my lungs seize. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My heart thudded wildly as I yanked against the restraints again, desperation clawing at me.Then, a voice broke through the air. Calm, and mocking.“Stop struggling, love.”I froze.The footsteps came next, measured and unhurried, and then he stepped into view.Brett. Jackie’s husband.But the second I saw him, I knew

    171Ivy's POVI couldn’t sit still. My legs were restless, my steps frantic, pacing the room back and forth like I was caged. My nails were chewed raw, and I kept twisting the edge of my dress in my fists just to stop my hands from shaking.My thoughts wouldn’t stop spinning, over and over, the worst possible images flooding my mind. Jackie’s scream replayed in a loop. What if we were too late? What if she was already—“Ivy, breathe,” Zelia said softly from where she sat on the couch. Her voice was gentle, steady, like she was trying to tether me.“I can’t breathe!” I shouted, the panic boiling over. “She screamed, Zelia! You heard her! Something happened to her and I just—I can’t sit here doing nothing while she—”My throat tightened painfully, and I had to stop before the words turned to sobs.Zelia rose to her feet and approached me slowly, her expression calm but serious.“Hey. I know it’s hard, but you need to calm down. You’re not helping yourself or the baby like this.”I wrapp

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   171: Protect Her

    Ivy's POVI stared at the anklet in Zelia’s hand like it was something foreign, something monstrous. Like it hadn’t been wrapped around my ankle for days, like it hadn’t felt like a thoughtful little gift from someone I trusted. From someone I loved.Jackie.My chest ached. My throat tightened as I tried to make sense of it.No. No, it couldn’t be. Jackie couldn’t have done this. Not her.“No,” I said aloud, shaking my head as my voice cracked. “Jackie wouldn’t... she wouldn’t do this. She’s not part of this.”Brandon didn’t respond at first. His jaw flexed, and his eyes didn’t soften, they just stayed hard, unreadable, locked on me. Watching and waiting like he was silently willing me to accept something I didn’t want to hear.“Ivy,” he finally said, voice low and tight. “You haven’t seen her in five years. We don’t know what happened to her in that time. You can’t trust her too much.”“She’s my friend,” I snapped, too fast. Too defensive. My voice trembled and I hated how weak it so

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   170: A Wedding Gift

    Brandon's POVI’d been through war, bloodshed, betrayal, things that would crush most men, but nothing, nothing had prepared me for this.Not for the way Ivy looked as she screamed through clenched teeth, her nails biting into my hands so hard they drew blood. Her whole body trembled violently with each wave of agony that tore through her, and her skin was losing its color by the second. Like the life was draining out of her right in front of me.She was still in her first trimester.And even I knew contractions this violent weren’t supposed to happen this early. Not unless something was seriously, terrifyingly wrong.“She’s in her first trimester,” I snarled, glaring at the group of royal healers and doctors gathered around her like useless statues. “Why is this happening now?”No one answered me. No one even tried.Cowards.I turned back to Ivy, brushing the wet strands of hair from her face. She was burning with fever, her breathing shallow and uneven, her lips trembling.“It’s oka
