♣️XAVIER♣️

My father had contacted Thornveil before I could make my own arrangements, inviting Celine to be my date for the royal engagement ceremony.

The man was taking my words lightly.

I had already made my position clear, yet he had decided that my refusal was something he could conveniently ignore. Perhaps he thought I would eventually accept whatever arrangement he made for me. He had spent too many years confusing my silence with obedience.

I checked the time on my phone.

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    124. A DANGEROUS OBSERVATION

    🌸VIOLET🌸 I woke up smiling. It took me a few seconds to realise what was different about that morning. The sunlight coming through my curtains was no brighter than usual, the room hadn't changed, and I still had the same training schedule waiting for me. Yet I felt unusually light, and the moment I remembered what had happened the previous night, my smile widened. Xavier had kissed me. Not that it was the first time he had kissed me, but last night had been different. He had practically begged me to let him kiss him, and I had enjoyed every second of watching that arrogant man struggle to maintain his composure. I could still remember his arms around me, the way he had pulled me against his chest, and how he had held me afterwards as though he wasn't ready to let me go. I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. I was in trouble. The funny thing was that I wasn't particularly interested in finding a way out of it anymore. I had spent so much time worrying about what wo

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    123. CHERRY BLOSSOMED KISS

    ♣️XAVIER♣️ Her lips parted. For one fucking second, I forgot where we were. I watched her mouth, waiting for the words I had been begging her to give me. I had spent the entire evening trying to behave myself, pretending that I could stand beside her without touching her, without pulling her against me, and without giving in to the temptation of those succulent lips. It had been torture. Ever since I had seen her at the estate in that fucking dress, I had wanted to drag her into my arms and kiss her until she forgot there was anyone else in the world. I had watched other men look at her tonight, and every time someone's attention lingered a second too long, I had imagined putting them in the ground. Then Javier had touched her. I had nearly cut his fucking hand off. He was still going to die. Now she was standing in my arms, looking at my mouth as though she was considering whether to give me what I wanted. I could feel her champagne-scented breath against my face, and the fa

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    122. PLEASE TELL ME TO KISS YOU

    🌸VIOLET🌸 The small blade was pressed firmly against Javier's wrist, the very hand he was using to hold mine. Xavier had pushed it hard enough to break the skin. A thin line of blood was already running down Javier's wrist. My eyes widened slightly. Xavier didn't even look at the wound. His attention remained fixed on Javier, his expression frighteningly calm. Javier's expression changed immediately. Even with the white mask covering half his face, I could see the colour draining from his features. "Alpha Xavier." His voice trembled. He released my hand so quickly that my fingers dropped against my side. "I—I was just…em. I should go." He didn't wait for either of us to respond. Javier moved away, almost stumbling as he disappeared into the crowd. I watched him go before looking at Xavier again. A server approached with a tray, and Xavier calmly took a napkin. He wiped the small amount of blood from the knife, folded the napkin over the stained part, and locked the blade b

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    121. THE ROYAL ENGAGEMENT CEREMONY

    🌸VIOLET🌸 I was beginning to think Xavier had developed a rather disturbing obsession with masks until we arrived at the royal courthouse. Apparently, the entire evening was an all-masked royal dinner party. A royal masquerade. Everywhere I looked, people wore elaborate masks. Some were decorated with gold, others with feathers, jewels, or intricate patterns that probably cost more than everything I owned. Men and women moved around the grand hall with champagne glasses in their hands, exchanging greetings and discussing matters that sounded important enough to bore me to death. I glanced down at my black gown before looking around again. So that was why he had insisted on the mask. My attention returned to him. I had been staring at him since we arrived, and I was beginning to suspect that I had developed a serious problem. When I first saw him standing beside the car at the estate, his eyes had travelled over me with an intensity that nearly made my knees give out. He had

  • MY ALPHA STEPBROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH MY SECRET IDENTITY    120. PLEASE HELP ME

    ❤️‍🩹DORIAN❤️‍🩹 The door opened, and I adjusted my mask. Celine walked into the room, and my eyes immediately settled on her red gown. The dress fitted her figure beautifully, and the matching red mask brought out the greyish shade of her blue eyes. They reminded me of Violet's, although there was no mistaking the difference. Celine's eyes were lighter, almost grey, while Violet's were a deeper blue that seemed to hold my attention even when she wasn't anywhere near me. Celine carried a bouquet of irises. She looked around the room briefly before placing them on the table. "Your father inviting me to accompany you to an event doesn't speak well of your dominance, Xavier." I kept my mouth shut. She still hadn't recognized me. I could have corrected her immediately, but something about the situation made me curious about how long it would take her to notice. She walked towards me with a smile that seemed to disappear the closer she got. Then she reached for me and wrapped her ar

He had spent too many years confusing my silence with obedience. I checked the time on my phone. Celine should have arrived at my private mansion by now, expecting to find me waiting for her. I had already instructed Dorian to handle the situation, and I had no intention of interrupting my evening to entertain a woman I had never asked to accompany me. Dorian could give her the date she had so desperately agreed to. I had chosen my own company. The gown in the box was meant for one woman, and that woman was my Violence. I had watched Violet hide herself beneath oversized clothes for long enough.
