Nova's POV.

I rose up from my crouched position, with my neck bared to him.

I'd heard of him a lot from the wolves in my pack. He was a very feared Alpha who was not only a good ruler but a good fighter.

He'd won several battles against rogues and warriors from our pack used him as their role model. And the Lunas I knew all dreamt of ruling his pack with him as his previous Luna had left him. His aura exuded so much in the room that it made me tense.

But then I felt Jake rise up from the bed

  • Mated To My Alpha Step Brother   Chapter 121

    Nova's POVI woke to the sound of voices in the sitting area. The voices were low and serious. The kind of conversation that was not meant for me to hear.I sat up slowly, careful not to make noise. The bedroom door was slightly ajar and I could see Ken and Killian through the gap. They stood near the window, their backs to me.And Lyssandra was with them.My stomach tightened. What was she doing here so early in the morning?I slipped out of bed and moved closer to the door, pressing myself against the wall where I could hear better but remain hidden."How did you know about the investigator?" Ken's voice was sharp, demanding as he dragged Lysandra's hand pulling her back into the room."I have ears, brother." Lysandra's tone was calm but pointed. "Did you really think you could bring a stranger into the palace in the middle of the night and nobody would notice?""Only Killian and I knew about him." Ken sounded frustrated. "And Nova who later found out about it.""Well clearly, you w

  • Mated To My Alpha Step Brother   Chapter 120

    Ken's POVNova looked up at me, her eyes shining with unshed tears. My confession hung in the air between us, raw and honest."Even if I take responsibility that was once snatched away from me," she spoke slowly, carefully choosing her words, "I am not just going to leave you both. You and Killian are my mates. My home. Nothing changes that."Relief flooded through me but I forced myself to remain realistic. "You should make your decision now, Nova. Not later. Not when guilt has time to build and pressure you into something you do not want.""But—""If you decide to go back and help them, it will hurt us. I will not lie about that." I cupped her face in my hands. "Killian and I will hate every moment you are away. We will worry constantly. But we will still support you. We will still be here waiting when you return."Her hands came up to cover mine. "You make it sound so simple.""It is not simple at all. But the choice is yours to make."She pulled away slightly, wrapping her arms ar

  • Mated To My Alpha Step Brother   Chapter 119

    Nova's POVI stood frozen in the corridor, my mind racing. Ken and this stranger were having a secret meeting in the middle of the night. About what?Part of me wanted to storm over there and demand answers immediately. But curiosity won out over confrontation.I pressed myself back against the wall, staying hidden in the shadows. If I stayed quiet enough, maybe I could hear what they were discussing.Their voices were low but the empty corridor carried sound well enough. I strained my ears to listen.A ridiculous thought crossed my mind. What if this man was the one leaving me notes? What if Ken had hired him as some strange romantic gesture, some kind of fetish game to keep things exciting?The idea was absurd even as I thought it. Ken would never do something so twisted. Would he?No. I shook my head slightly, dismissing the thought. I was grasping at straws, trying to make sense of something that made no sense.The stranger spoke first, his voice carrying just enough for me to hea

  • Mated To My Alpha Step Brother   Chapter 118

    Nova's POVI sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing. The room felt too quiet now that Ken and Killian had left. Too empty with just my thoughts for company.My mother's words kept replaying in my mind. The pack needs you. We are being attacked. We cannot hold on much longer.Part of me wanted to dismiss it entirely. To write it off as manipulation, as a desperate attempt to use me for something I did not owe anyone.But another part, a smaller, quieter part, wondered if she was telling the truth.What if the pack really was dying? What if people I had grown up with, children I had played with, were being slaughtered because they had no strong leadership?I shook my head, trying to clear the thoughts away. It did not matter. They had abandoned me. They had left me to believe everyone was dead. They did not deserve my help.But the guilt gnawed at me anyway.I stood and paced the room, my bare feet silent on the cold floor. Could I really turn my back on them if they were truly

  • Mated To My Alpha Step Brother   Chapter 117

    Killian's POVI stared at Nova, stunned by the raw pain pouring out of her. Her words echoed in the room, sharp and cutting. She was right. She had every right to feel everything she was feeling.I had made a mistake trying to comfort her the wrong way."You are absolutely right." I kept my voice low and steady. "I am sorry. I should not have told you not to be sad."She looked at me through her tears, her chest heaving with sobs."You can express your pain however you need to." I moved closer carefully, not wanting to crowd her. "Scream, cry, break things if you want. You have earned that right.""I just..." Her voice cracked. "I just feel so broken.""I know." I sat down beside her on the floor. "And that is alright. You are allowed to be broken right now."She buried her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking. I wanted to pull her into my arms but waited, letting her decide if she wanted that comfort.After a moment, she leaned into me. I wrapped my arms around her immediately, h

  • Mated To My Alpha Step Brother   Chapter 116

    Nova's POVMy mind refused to accept what I was hearing. If Seraphina had not left those notes, then someone else had been tormenting me this entire time."Wait." I turned to Ken, urgency flooding through me. "Do you still have the notes? The ones you found in my room?"He nodded slowly. "Yes. We kept them as evidence. They are in my study.""Get them. Now. Please."Ken looked at Killian, who gave a slight nod. "I will be right back."He left quickly and I was alone with Killian, Lysandra, and the heavy silence that filled the room."You cannot seriously be considering that she is telling the truth." Lysandra crossed her arms. "She is obviously lying to save herself.""Maybe." I met her eyes. "Or maybe we have been wrong about everything.""Nova—""Just wait. Let me show her the notes."Ken returned minutes later carrying a small wooden box. He set it on the table and opened it, revealing the collection of cream-coloured papers I had hidden for so long.The guards brought Seraphina ba
