MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Accusation
Serena’s POVThe great hall looks different at midnight.Shadows stretch across the stone walls. Torches flicker and dance. The faces of the gathered Alphas are harder to read in the dim light.That might be a mercy. Every wolf in the room is on edge. Some are half-shifted, their eyes glowing in the darkness. Others stand rigid, hands close to weapons they shouldn't have brought to a summit.An Alpha is dead, and no one knows who to blame.Gregor stands at the head of the curved table. His face is carved from granite."Alpha Rendall of the eastern territories was found murdered in his quarters." His voice echoes off the walls. "His throat was torn out. His guards saw nothing." Murmurs ripple through the room."This is an act of war," someone growls. "Against all of us." "An act by whom?" another Alpha demands. "We're all suspects now." "Perhaps we should start with the newest arrivals." Eyes turn toward us, toward me. I feel the weight of their suspicion like a physical thing. Heavy.
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Gathering
Kael’s POVThe northern territory smells like pine and old blood. I've been here before, twice, both times for burials.This time feels worse.The meeting hall sits at the center of a stone fortress carved into the mountainside. Ancient, cold. Built by wolves who understood that power comes from appearing untouchable. I hate it already.Serena walks beside me. Her steps are steady. Her face reveals nothing. But the bond tells me everything. Fear and determination. A thin thread of hope she's trying not to lose. I reach out. Let my fingers brush hers. She doesn't look at me. But her hand turns. Catches mine and holds on. We enter together.The hall is full. Alphas from every major pack in the region. Their seconds. Their advisors. Wolves I've traded with. Wolves I've fought. Wolves I've never trusted and never will.All of them watching us, watching her. The whispers start immediately. That's her, the Silverborne. She doesn't look dangerous. Neither do vipers. I keep my face neutral. M
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Twenty-Six: The Training
Serena’s POVThe first punch lands before I see it coming. I hit the ground hard. Dust fills my mouth. Pain blooms across my jaw. "Get up."Kael's voice is flat. No sympathy, no hesitation. I push myself to my knees. Spit dirt. Glare at him. "You could warn me.""Elena won't warn you." He's right. I hate that he's right. I stand. Raise my fists the way he showed me, feet apart. Weight-balanced. Eyes on his center, not his hands. "Again," he says.He moves. This time I see it. Barely. I twist sideways. His fist grazes my shoulder instead of my face. Progress, but not enough. His other hand catches my wrist, pulls, and spins. I'm on the ground again before I can breathe."You're thinking too much," he says from above me. "Your body knows what to do. Trust it." "My body knows how to fall. That's what it knows." Something that might be a smile crosses his face.Then it's gone. "Again." We train for six hours. By the end, my entire body is a bruise. My muscles scream; my lungs burn. But I'
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Twenty-Five: The Aftermath
Kael’s POVThe mansion feels different when we return, quieter, heavier.Wolves move through the corridors with their heads down. Some carry wounded. Others carry bodies, We won. But victory tastes like ash in my mouth. I carry Maya to the healing quarters. Lay her on a bed that's already stained with someone else's blood.The healers swarm around her. Hands moving fast. Voices low and urgent. I step back. Serena stands beside me. Her hand finds mine. Neither of us speaks.There's nothing to say. The casualty count comes in by nightfall. Thirty-two dead. Eighteen from Silver Crest. Fourteen from the eastern packs, Another forty wounded. Some will recover; some won't. I read the names on the list.Wolves I've known since childhood. Wolves who trusted me to keep them safe. I failed them. "You didn't fail anyone." I look up.Serena stands in the doorway of my study. Her face is tired. Her clothes are still stained with blood. But her eyes are steady. "You're thinking too loud again," she
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Twenty-Four: The Breaking Point
Serena’s POVI don't know how they found me. One moment I was behind the lines. Safe. Watching the battle from a distance like Kael ordered.Next, a hand clamped over my mouth. Something sharp pressed against my throat. A voice whispered in my ear. "Scream and you die." I didn't scream; I should have. Now I'm standing at the edge of a battlefield with my hands bound and Elena's wolves at my back, and Kael is staring at me like his world just ended.The bond screams between us. His rage. His fear. His desperate, clawing need to reach me. I feel all of it; I feel him."Let her go." His voice carries across the clearing. Human now. He shifted back without me seeing it. "This is between us, Elena. She has nothing to do with it."Elena laughs.The sound is cold. Musical. Wrong."Nothing to do with it?" She steps closer to me. Her fingers trail along my jaw. I flinch. "She's the whole reason we're here, little Alpha. The prophecy. The power. The bond that makes you weak." Her hand drops."K
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Twenty-Three: Blood and Betrayal
Kael’s POVI don't remember moving. One moment I'm standing on the wall. The next time I'm running through the gates. Wolves shout behind me. Someone calls my name; I don't stop.Marcus lies in the dirt. Broken. Bleeding. His face is barely recognizable beneath the bruises and cuts. I drop to my knees beside him. "Father."The word feels wrong in my mouth. Foreign. After everything he did. After everything, he admitted, but he's still my blood, and Elena did this to hurt me. His eyes flutter open. Swollen. Unfocused. "Kael." His voice is a rasp. Barely human." She knows." "Knows what?""Everything," he coughs. Blood flecks his lips. "The tunnels. The weak points. The rotation schedules." My chest tightens. "How?""Someone." He struggles to breathe. "Someone close, very close." "Who?"He shakes his head weakly. "Didn't see. Just heard. A voice. Familiar."His hand reaches up. Grips my arm with surprising strength. "Protect her," he whispers. "Serena. Whatever happens, protect her." "I

Serena’s POV"You sold me out." The words hang in the cold air between us.Maya sits against the opposite wall. Her face is bruised. Her lip is split. But her eyes, her eyes are the worst part. She was empty, defeated, as if something inside her had already died. "It wasn't supposed to happen like

Kael’s POV"She's gone."The scout's words echo through the hall like a death sentence. I don't move. Don't blink. Don't breathe. "Say that again."The scout drops to one knee. His head bows low. "Maya, Alpha. She left the mansion two hours ago. We tracked her scent to the eastern river. It crosses
MY STEPBROTHER ALPHA'S DIRTY OBSESSION Chapter Eleven: The Fracture
Kael’s POV"She's not on pack territory." The words hit me like a blade to the chest. I stare at the tracker kneeling in front of me. His head is bowed. His voice is steady, but I can smell his fear. "Explain." "We followed her scent to the eastern border, Alpha." He swallows hard. "It stops at the
