"It is a few weeks before your coronation and we are under rogue attacks, what is your solution?"

Elder Henry's voice hit the ceiling of the council chamber and came back down twice as loud. Every man seated around that table turned to look at me with the particular expression of people who had already decided the answer before asking the question.

I stood at the head of the table and kept my face completely still.

The chamber was full, every elder and council member present, which mea

  • In love with my StepSon    Chapter Forty-Five

    MelissaI woke to the sound of muffled voices and the sharp smell of herbs that made my nose wrinkle. My eyes fluttered open and I found myself staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling. White plaster with wooden beams running across it. Not my chambers."She's waking up," someone said softly.I turned my head slowly and saw the pack healer standing beside a narrow bed with her hands clasped in front of her apron. Draven stood near the window with his back to me and his shoulders tense. Briston was positioned by the door with Delilah beside him and both of them were watching me with varying expressions of concern."What happened?" I croaked while trying to sit up.The healer rushed forward and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder."Easy Luna," she instructed. "You fainted during breakfast. You've been unconscious for nearly an hour."An hour? I had been out for an entire hour.Draven turned from the window and crossed the room toward me with quick strides. He sat on the edge of the bed and t

  • In love with my StepSon    Chapter Forty-Four

    MelissaThe past few weeks had settled into a strange rhythm that felt both dangerous and intoxicating. During the day I sat beside Draven at council meetings while he discussed pack business with his advisors. He treated me like fragile glass now, careful not to be too rough, asking if I needed anything, making sure the servants attended to my every need."Luna Melissa, would you like more water?" one of the maids would whisper."The Luna needs a cushion for her back," Draven would order without even asking me first.I played the part perfectly. Nodding when expected. Smiling at appropriate moments. Sitting next to him when required and making suggestions when permitted.But at night when Draven finally fell into his deep sleep, I would slip out of our chambers and make my way through the dark corridors to find Briston waiting for me in whatever hidden corner of the fortress we had agreed upon.The library became our sanctuary. We would meet there after midnight and talk in hushed vo

  • In love with my StepSon    Chapter Forty-Three

    BristonI woke up with Melissa's scent still clinging to my sheets and the memory of last night burning through my mind like fire. Every touch, every kiss, every moment she had been mine played on repeat until I had to force myself out of bed just to clear my head.I walked to the window and stared out at the training grounds while my wolf Gorne paced restlessly inside me. We had claimed our mate properly last night. Marked her in every way except the one that would make it permanent and visible to the entire pack.My phone buzzed on the nightstand and I grabbed it quickly. A message from Athen lit up the screen."Need to talk, usual spot in one hour."I dressed quickly and made my way out of the pack house through the side entrance I had been using to avoid my father. The drive to the cafe took less than twenty minutes and when I arrived Athen was already waiting at our corner booth with two cups of coffee sitting on the table.I slid into the seat across from him and he studied my f

  • In love with my StepSon    Chapter Forty-Two

    KelanI stood at the head of the council chamber table and straightened my ceremonial robes while surveying the room. Every council member had arrived and taken their seats. Cindy sat to my right looking radiant in a deep burgundy gown with her hair arranged in an elaborate style. Valor stood near the back wall with his arms crossed and his expression unreadable."Thank you all for coming," I began as I placed my hands on the table. "I've called this emergency meeting to announce an important decision that will help restore our pack's prosperity."Cindy reached over and squeezed my hand encouragingly. I smiled at her before turning back to the council."After careful consideration and consultation with my great minds," I continued while gesturing toward Cindy, "I have decided that all women in our pack will no longer hold positions in the corporate sector. Instead they will be reassigned to agricultural work in the farms and fields where their labor can directly contribute to our foo

  • In love with my StepSon    Chapter Forty-One

    MelissaI stopped fighting, I surged up on my toes, still pinned by his hand, and claimed his mouth again.The kiss was fire and honey. I poured every unspoken ache into it, every lonely night, every stolen glance, every time I felt hollow in Draven’s bed. Briston groaned against my lips, and his grip on my wrists loosened just enough for me to twist free. My hands found his face, holding him to me as I deepened the kiss He shuddered. Then, in one fluid motion, he scooped me up, his arms were around my thighs and I wrapped my legs around his waist instinctively. He carried me to the bed in three strides and dropped me onto the furs. I yanked my robe open while he tore his shirt off. My hands attacked his belt, shoving his pants down. His thick cock sprang free, heavy and leaking. I wrapped my fingers around it and stroked, loving the way he hissed and thrust into my fist.“Fuck, Melissa,” he groaned.I pulled him down on top of me. His mouth found my tits immediately, sucking har

    MelissaIt had been a few days since Briston walked out of the council chamber without acknowledging me and the distance between us had only grown wider. Every time I passed him in the hallways he was deep in conversation with Athen or standing too close to Delilah while they discussed pack matters I wasn't privy to.I tried not to notice. I tried not to care.But Mia whined constantly in the back of my mind and pulled at the mate bond until my chest ached with a pain I couldn't explain away as bruised ribs or exhaustion.Today I walked past the library and heard voices drifting through the partially open door. I slowed my steps and glanced inside. Briston stood by the window with his arms crossed while Delilah sat in one of the leather chairs with maps spread across her lap. She pointed to something on the parchment and he leaned down to look closer. His hand rested on the back of her chair and she smiled up at him like he had just said something clever.The sight made my stomach twi

    Melissa "Where are you coming from?" Draven stood in the center of the room adjusting his cufflinks, already dressed in a suit that cost more than everything I had ever owned, his eyes moved over me with the slow deliberate patience of someone who already suspected the answer. "I was with Briston

    Briston "Mama, don't go." I heard my own voice before I was fully awake, and for three seconds the warmth under my head was real, the gentle weight of familiar hands was real, and my mother was alive and nothing had gone wrong yet. Then the three seconds ended. I kept my eyes closed because open

    Melissa It should have been me. I stood there watching Briston pull himself off the floor with his arm pressed against the gash on his shoulder and his teeth locked together against the pain, and the guilt hit me immediately. I started all of this with a bucket and a distracted afternoon and he wa

    Melissa Draven's phone rang before I even set my fork down, and he had it pressed to his ear before the second buzz. "Hold them off till I arrive," he ordered into the receiver, already pushing back from the table. He stood and straightened his jacket with the calm efficiency of a man who had spe
