2026-02-09 08:51:42Winter’s POV:
I immediately pull on the torch and open the door again just as it is about to close. To my frustration, when I open the door again, there's nothing there. Dammit. Keon.” I exhale slowly. “Please tell me you saw that?” He shakes his head. There's no fucking way. It was right there! I wait and stare, waiting for it to make a reappearance. I wait for a minute, then two, till I've been standing in the same spot for nearly 10 minutes. Nothing. No golden eye, just sunlight on glass. No Eye of the Witcher watching me. My heart is still racing like it never left. Keon stands behind me, quiet and confused, his energy tense. He shakes his head again. He looks at the window, really looks at it, then looks back at me. “There's nothing there Winter. Are you sure you're okay? Do you want to lie down?” He's looking at me like I'm crazy. Agitation floods my nerves. I feel like pulling the roots out of my hair. “I. Am. Not. Crazy.” I spell out slowly. “I never said you were” “Your face did.” He exhales slowly. “Winter, I swear to you, there's nothing there. If there was, I would've sensed it.” He sounds like he's trying to explain something to a child. “Doesn't mean I imagined it,” I mutter under my breath. Silence stretches again. It's heavier than before. I turn to him, frustration boiling in my chest. “You keep doing that.” “Doing what?” “Acting like you know things then shutting down when I ask questions.” He sighs. “You don't understand Winter-” I interrupt him. “No Keon, you don't understand. This is my body and my life, yet you're standing there like some mysterious puzzle instead of actually helping me!” His jaw tightens. “I'm helping the only way I know how.” “Oh and how exactly have you been helpful? Oh I know! By shutting down on me when I need answers? Or, or by giving vague responses to my questions? Or maybe-” “By not letting you run to my brother every time I don't have an answer!” Oh. There it is. The truth behind the silence. I laugh sadly. “So that's what this is about.” He doesn't speak. “I'm hurting. The person that you claim the moon gave to you as a soulmate is hurt, and all you can care about is your ego. Wow.” My eyes start watering for reasons unsure to even me. It's just so much. “You don't have answers for me. You're just scared I'll ask him instead.” He doesn't say anything. “I needed honesty Keon. Not pride.” The words hit hard. I turn away from him. “Winter-” “I'm really angry right now. But I'm also really confused. Despite all this. My stupid heart feels bad.” “I'm sick of secrets.” I pull down on the torch, opening the door. “Don't come to me unless you're ready to tell me what you know, and trust me in our bond enough to leave Derrick out of it.” I step outside, his dark eyes haunting me long after the door slams shut.

Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother Kitchen Encounters.
Winter’s POVSleep refuses to come.I turn onto my side for what feels like the hundredth time, dragging the sheets with me as if that will somehow make a difference. The room is too quiet. Too still. Every sound feels amplified—the faint rustle of fabric, the slow ticking of time, the soft rhythm of my own breathing.And underneath all of it—Him.The feeling sits low in my chest, subtle but persistent, like something quietly pulling at me from the inside. It has been there for hours now, ever since he walked out of this room with Derrick. I tried to ignore it at first. Told myself it was just my mind replaying everything that happened.But this isn’t just memory.It’s something else.Something deeper.I press my eyes shut, exhaling slowly as I try to push it away, but it only seems to grow stronger in the silence. A restless energy settles under my skin, making it impossible to stay still.This is ridiculous.I sit up abruptly, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. The cool flo
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother Seeds of Suspicion.
Keon’s POVThe door closes behind Derrick with a soft click, and for a brief moment the hallway is silent.I turn without looking back.If I stay there another second, if I allow myself even a single glance at the door behind us, I might do something reckless. Something the Alpha in me will regret.So I walk.My steps are steady and controlled as I move down the corridor, the dim lights along the palace walls casting long shadows across the stone floor. Derrick falls into step beside me a moment later, the door to Winter’s room now firmly shut behind us.Neither of us speaks at first.The silence stretches between us like a wire pulled too tight.I focus on the path ahead of me, on the cool air of the hallway and the faint scent of night drifting in through the open windows farther down the corridor. Anything that keeps my mind away from the image that keeps trying to push its way forward.Winter on that bed.Her flushed skin.Her damp hair clinging to her neck.Derrick in the room wi
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother Winter The Cog.
Winter’s POV:The door closes with a quiet click, and the sound settles into the room like the final note of a song. For a few seconds I remain exactly where I am, my chest rising and falling as I sit at the edge of the bed with the sheets pulled loosely around me. My heart is still racing so fast that it makes my chest rise and fall more quickly than normal. I try to slow my breathing, but the energy from everything that just happened still runs through me like heat.Fuck. What the fuck just happened?The room feels different now.A moment ago the air felt thick, warm, and crowded with tension. Derrick was under me, his tongue inside me eating me out with painful patience and accuracy. Now he is gone, and the silence that follows feels almost unnatural.My eyes drift back to the door.Keon’s face flashes in my mind again before I can stop myself. The image is clear, sharper than I want it to be. The way he stood in the hallway, shoulders straight, expression calm in the way he always

My hand rains down on the door like a man on a mission. I knock so loudly the noise stops, meaning so have they. Thank fuck. I will never, ever, allow Derrick to have her orgasms. My hand rises and strikes the door hard. I do it again, louder, and I can feel the vibrations through my knuckles, through my teeth, through my entire body. I'm pretty sure the hinges on the door are moving as well. “Derrick,” I call, my voice carrying authority, calm but edged with steel. “You need to come outside. Now.” Before all this, my plan was just to check on Winter, preferably without Derrick's presence. But now I have a better plan. It just so happened that during dinner, while the others ate and dined away, a message from the vampires about their situation. They've been having rogue and power hierarchy issues. Some new generation vampires are tired of the old system and want a change and are stirring up trouble, killing middle men or other men associated with their rulers. That's not g

Keon's POV: What the fuck is Derrick up to? I'm in my bed chambers on the highest floor of this palace, and after all the hassle of the last few days you would think I would finally take time off to rest and relax. So did I. But instead, I'm pacing my room floor wondering why the bond with Winter feels sharper than ice and relentless like a tsunami. I just can't get any sort of sleep whatsoever. I avoided dinner because the fact that Derrick is back and now can claim Winter annoys me. No. It's worse. It's infuriating. So I'm jealous my brother is back because now he has a claim to a mate that is supposedly his but is actually mine…Big whoop. Would I be acting abnormally if I demanded she slept in my quarters? I walk toward the halls leading towards the stairs, before turning back halfway. No. I've talked about this. I have walked towards the stairs over 5 times trying to control myself. What if— No. She could be in danger though…. Maybe I should ju
Marked by The Alpha Mated to His Brother A Knock Too Crazy To Ignore.
Winter POV The knock was so loud it made my whole body jolt. For a second I thought I imagined it. My heart was already racing, my breathing uneven, and the room felt too warm, like the air itself was pressing against my skin. But then it came again—another hard knock against the door that made the wood rattle in its frame. I froze. Derrick froze too. My pulse started pounding harder the moment I realized who it probably was. My skin felt damp and overheated, and I pushed a strand of hair away from my face, suddenly aware of how messy I must look. My palms were slightly sweaty, my chest rising and falling faster than I could control. Outside the door, there was silence for only a second. Then Keon knocked again. Louder. The sound echoed through the room like he was trying to break the door down. Derrick’s eyes flashed bright red. The change was so sudden it startled me. One second he had been looking at me, his expression intense and unreadable, and the next his j
