Anya knew her father had lost.

She could tell by the silence in the house.

No shouting. No slammed doors. No broken glass. Just silence. The kind that pressed against the walls and made it hard to breathe.

She stood at the top of the stairs, fingers curled around the railing. The chandelier lights were still on downstairs. It was past midnight.

Her father never lost quietly.

A black car pulled into the driveway.

Then another.

Then a third.

Anya’s stomach tightened.

The front doors opened before

  • MY STEPBROTHERS, MY RUIN    CHAPTER 97

    Three years had passed since Maya had left the pack behind. The city had become her sanctuary, the small apartment her fortress. Her daughter, Lila, had grown into a lively little girl with her mother’s dark hair and sharp eyes. Maya had created a life that was quiet, simple, and safe. At least, she had thought it was.Maya stirred coffee in the kitchen, glancing at Lila as she played with a stuffed wolf on the living room floor. “Mom, look! He’s talking to me!” the little girl said, her voice full of excitement.“I see,” Maya said with a smile, though her mind was elsewhere. She loved these mornings, the calm before the world intruded. But lately, that calm had been broken. Strange messages, fleeting shadows, and a sense of being watched had started creeping back into her life.The knock on the door came unexpectedly. Sharp, deliberate, impossible to ignore. Maya froze, her hand tightening around the mug. Lila looked up.“Who is it?” the girl asked, her small voice cautious.“I don’t

    The city was nothing like the forest. The sounds were sharper, the lights brighter, the people faster. Maya pulled her coat tighter around her as she walked down the crowded street, her senses alert. She had learned long ago to move quietly, to blend in, to watch and not be noticed. The last thing she needed was someone recognizing her—someone from the pack or worse, from Xavier’s world.A small apartment waited for her at the edge of town. It wasn’t much, but it was hers. No expectations. No pack politics. No betrayal. Just a place to think, to breathe, to start over. She unlocked the door, letting a sigh escape as the familiar smell of paint and old carpet greeted her.“Home,” she whispered. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach, and she smiled softly. “We’ll be okay, little one.”The first weeks were hard. Maya had to find work, learn how to survive in a world that had rules she had never needed to follow before. Computers, phones, bills, rent—mundane things that suddenly seem

    Maya’s heart raced as she stepped onto the stone platform. The full moon cast a silver glow across the clearing, highlighting the faces of every pack member gathered. Tonight was supposed to be a celebration, a moment of honor for her loyalty and service as Luna. She had dedicated three years to Alpha Xavier, believing in him, loving him quietly from the shadows.She straightened her shoulders, trying to steady her nerves. “This is it,” she whispered to herself. “Just stay calm.”Xavier stood across from her, his tall frame rigid, eyes unreadable in the moonlight. He had been distant for weeks, distracted and cold, but Maya thought perhaps tonight he would finally see her for who she was.“Luna Maya,” Xavier’s voice carried across the clearing. The chatter of the pack fell silent instantly. “You have served this pack with loyalty and strength. You have protected it, guided it, and sacrificed for it.”Maya’s chest swelled. This was the moment she had waited for. He would call her his m

    The apartment was quiet, but the tension was thick enough to cut through the air. Maya stood by the window, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the city below. Xavier sat across the room, his dark gaze never leaving her. The fight from the night before had ended, but nothing had been resolved.“I need answers,” Maya said finally, her voice steady but low. “You owe me that much.”Xavier’s hands tightened into fists in his lap. “I know,” he said. “And I’ll tell you everything. You deserve to know why I… why I rejected you.”Maya’s eyes narrowed. “Why now? After three years? After everything?”“Because I only just realized the truth,” he said. “The woman I brought back… she wasn’t just someone from my past. She was a spy. She manipulated me with magic and lies, made me believe things that weren’t real. She controlled my thoughts, my feelings… even my judgment.”Maya’s jaw went tight. “So that excuses you?”“No,” Xavier said quickly. “It doesn’t. I failed you. I humiliated you. I abandoned you wh

    The night was too quiet.Not peaceful.Not calm.Just… quiet in a way that made everything feel wrong.Thalia stood at the edge of the cliff, her eyes fixed on the darkness below.The wind moved around her slowly, brushing against her skin, lifting strands of her hair.But she didn’t move.Far below, faint lights flickered in the distance.The village.Or what was left of it.Her jaw tightened slightly.“They’re still rebuilding,” Lyra said softly behind her.Thalia didn’t turn.“I know.”Her voice was calm.Too calm.Lyra stepped closer, stopping just a few steps behind her.“You haven’t rested,” she said.“I’m fine.”“That’s not what I asked.”Thalia exhaled slowly.“I said I’m fine.”Lyra didn’t push further.Because she knew that tone.The same one Thalia used when she didn’t want anyone too close.A quiet moment passed.Then Thalia spoke again.“Do you ever get used to it?”Lyra frowned slightly.“Used to what?”Thalia’s gaze stayed on the distance.“The damage,” she said.Silenc
