MATED TO HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 160
ZADEThe palace feels different tonight. Quiet. Whole again.It’s been three weeks since the battle, since the night I died and came back. Every breath still feels borrowed, every sunrise a miracle I can’t quite believe I deserve. The healers said the goddess’s light erased every trace of the dagger’s curse, but sometimes I still feel it, not in a bad way though.Heath had the entire fortress rebuilt within days. Stephan hasn’t stopped talking about new defenses and peace treaties. And Brooks…Brooks hasn’t left my side.She doesn’t talk much about that night. None of us do. But sometimes, when the moonlight hits her skin just right, I catch her looking at me as if she’s still afraid I’ll disappear. And I can’t blame her.Tonight, the palace glows gold and silver, lanterns hanging from every balcony, soft music drifting through the corridors. A celebration, they said. For peace. For life. For us.But deep down, I know it’s more than that. It’s a beginning.I stand on the terrace ove

BROOKS“Zade…” My voice cracked.I caught him before he hit the ground, my knees slamming into the dirt. His blood was warm, spilling fast, coating my hands before I even realized what was happening.Lady Natasha stood frozen, the dagger still slick in her grasp, her eyes wide in disbelief. The reality hit her too late.She just killed her own son.“Zade,” I whispered again, shaking, pressing both palms over the wound in his chest. Blood kept seeping through my fingers, no matter how hard I pushed. “No, no, stay with me. You have to heal, please—”But he wasn’t healing.The light from the wound flickered darkly, black energy pulsing beneath his skin. My heart lurched. The dagger. It was enchanted. Whatever poison it carried was eating through him from the inside out.His breathing was shallow, broken. His eyes fluttered, unfocused, the blue in them fading into silver.“Why?” I whispered, my tears falling onto his cheek. “Why would you do that?”He smiled faintly, the corners of his li

ZADEThe war was still going on. On the battle field, we still had the upper hand, Natasha’s army falling. But it didn’t feel like it. Not with Brooks gone.I paced outside what was left of the command site. Inside the tent, medics worked on Stephan, his arm bent at an angle that made even Heath look away. The mate bond we all shared with Brooks pulsed. She was alive. I could feel it. We all could.Stephan groaned when the medics tried to reset his shoulder. I pushed forward and helped hold him steady, ignoring the sting of glass still buried in my palms. The bone clicked back into place with a sharp crack, and he hissed through his teeth, sweat sliding down his temple.“I’m fine,” he muttered, voice tight. “We need to find her. Now.”“I’ll go.” Heath spoke, his voice cracking halfway through, rough and desperate. “She’s out there alone. I won’t lose her again.”Stephan tried to push to his feet but stumbled, his strength bleeding out faster than he could hide.That’s when I made

STEPHANThis was the night.I stood in the command center surrounded by screens that flickered with drone feeds and red digital lines marking troop positions. Voices filled my earpiece, updates, confirmations, requests, but they all blurred into one long hum in the back of my mind. My eyes stayed sharp, but my chest felt tight.I have never seen so many people ready to die in a single night.Heath was already at the frontlines, leading the main Romano force. His voice had come through the comms earlier, steady and confident, even though I could tell he was just as tense as I was. Zade was supposed to be marching with Lady Natasha’s army by now, pretending loyalty until it was time to strike.Around me, soldiers and aides moved with practiced precision, calling out readiness reports, fine-tuning the shields, syncing artillery drones. I nodded where I needed to, gave orders when I had to. But every few seconds, my eyes strayed toward the corner of the tent.Brooks sat there, wrapped

ZADELying had become second nature to me when it came to feeding Lady Natasha cock and bull.It was easy.I told her that Venita had been passing information to the Romanos. That she was still obsessed with Stephan and she’d started feeding intel to the enemy.She believed me instantly. She looked me in the eye, proud of me, telling me that I did the right thing. Told me I’d proven myself worthy, finally.If only she knew.Now I was sitting across from Stephan and Heath in our hideout, a map spread across the table between us. “She’s moving sooner than expected,” I said, tracing the inked lines of the map with my finger. “Lady Natasha’s invasion is set for the eve of the full moon. Her formation is that the main force will come from the west and the smaller units will infiltrate from the lower ridge.”My brother hummed.“Her priority is Brooks,” I added. “Somehow, she already knows her powers are manifesting.”Heath’s head snapped up, eyes narrowing. “And how the hell would she kno

ZADEWhen I got the message that something was wrong with Brooks, nothing else mattered.I didn’t even wait for details before I hopped into my car, telling Liora to cover for my absence at the lair so that my mum won’t be suspicious. When I reached the edge of the old ruins, the place we used for discreet meetings which was just a mile from the Romano pack house, Stephan and Heath were already there, waiting for me.“Where is she?” I demanded, breathless, heart hammering in my throat. “What happened to Brooks?”Heath’s eyes flashed, his shoulders squaring. But he said nothing, of course. Stephan, on the other hand, kept looking between me and Heath as if expecting a fight to break out.“She’s at the palace infirmary. Unconscious,” he finally responded to me. “She’s getting worse, and it’s beyond anything we can control.”“What do you mean ‘beyond control’?” I asked, trying to steady my breath. Stephan’s jaw tightened. “The royal physician said her powers are manifesting earlier tha

ZADEThe palace is in chaos. Guards running, Heath yelling and even going as far as punching a guard that asked the wrong question, Stephan pacing like a caged animal. Everyone demanding answers, no one with any to give. Brooks is gone.Just gone.How the fuck did mother make a move and I didn’t s

ZADEI should have known better than to come here. Every time I stepped into my mother’s chambers, the air was somehow thicker, tainted with smoke and the metallic tang of sorcery she had no business wielding. But this time, something else hung there too. A stench. Not just of magic. Of rot.She

BROOKSPeople dressed in black cloaks came into my cell and unchained, causing me to slump to the floor. My wrists ached from the chains, rubbed raw, but I refused to let them see me break.It was the night of the Sacrifice; I knew that because of the double celestial events going on. A silver cres

ZADEI woke to the sound of dripping water and the faint clang of iron. The smell of damp stone hung heavy in the air. My eyes blinked open to darkness broken only by a single strip of light slipping in from somewhere above.Bars.I was in a cell.The realization hit fast and sharp, forcing me upri
