EVE.

Saint just stood at the foot of the bed, arms folded, eyes locked on me with that unholy calm, like I was a puzzle he was in no rush to solve. I felt like death itself was sizing me up.

Then he finally spoke again.

"I told myself, if I ever saw you again... I wouldn't say a word." He paused and tilted his head. "...Just let you scream while I took back everything you stole. Inch by inch."

He circled to the side of the bed, running a finger along the leather restraint like he was checking the tension on a violin string. Then his voice turned softer and even deadlier.

"But look at you. Right here. In my bed. Tied like a fucking gift." He lowered his face to mine, and I could feel his cold breath.

"The Goddess made it too easy, Eve."

I tried to look away.

"Look at me," he said quietly.

My head snapped toward him as if I were controlled by an unseen force. My eyes stung.

He studied me with no hint of warmth or amusement. Not even rage. Just… nothing. It was worse than hatred.

I shook

  • Mated To My Step-brother And His Best friend   Chapter 13

    SAINT.I've always been an asshole. That's not an insult... It's just accurate. When someone calls me one, I take it as a compliment. Hell, I wear it like a title.Now let me guess. Kyrie's over at Lanry Side, holed up with Irene, or, should I say Jessa? Already drawing lines in the sand, scheming how to keep her safe from me. Cute. If only he fucking knew.Look... Kyrie and I? Best of friends. Nothing had ever come between us. Not even women. Because we've shared them, traded them, passed them back and forth like drinks on a long night, no emotion attached.But Eve?Nah. That was different. That was the line neither of us could cross without burning the whole damn thing down. And I'm not in the mood for ash. So, I carefully looked for the best solution.Eve was mine to punish. She needed to pay for what she did. I don't give a damn that she's technically family now, all thanks to her whore of a mother, but it doesn't erase the fact that she crossed me. And that comes with consequence

    KYRIE.Getting a moment alone with Jessa was harder than ending a war. Her mother hovered like a hawk, and Jessa herself kept dodging the idea of talking to me like I was some fucking tax collector.But I finally got her. We were alone. She stood with her arms folded tightly over her chest like she was trying to keep herself from falling apart. Her eyes didn't dare meet mine."So... uhm... who are you? And what do you want from me?" Her voice was soft and nervous.I leaned on my car, hands in my pockets, watching her squirm. "Jessa, you don't have to pretend. I know you know me.""I don't," she said quickly, backing away a little. "You've got the wrong person. I'm not who you think I am. You need to leave."I calmly pushed off the car, "I've been looking for you for eight months. Eight, Jessa. Now that I've found you, I'm not letting you out of my sight. So quit the act." I told her for a fact, and I saw the look on her face.That got her. Her mouth trembled before it clamped shut. Sh

    KYRIE.It was a two-hour drive. But, two hours my ass.I got there in just under ninety minutes, and that’s with the shitty roads and speed limits I ignored on purpose. My tires hissed against the gravel as I pulled up in front of a beat-up bungalow with a rusty-ass gate and a paint job that had clearly given up on life.The place looked like poverty had taken a seat and decided to stay.Cole was parked outside in his black SUV, hiding in plain sight as usual.The moment he saw me, he stepped out, adjusting his cuffs, and he walked up to me.“She’s in there?” I asked, sliding on my shades as I slammed my car door shut."Yes, she is," Cole replied."Let's go, then."Cole stared at me with a surprised expression."Just like that?" He asked, stunned.I cocked a brow. “You want to bring some drums and dancers? Maybe light a fucking bonfire while we’re at it?”He gave a half-nod and moved aside. Smart.We walked into the compound, and I swear, every step I took pissed me off more. This pla

    EVE.After dinner, I practically bolted back to my room the second it was polite enough to do so. I just mumbled something about being tired and slipped away.Saint had left not long after he arrived.He didn't say goodbye. Not that I expected him to. He just stood, placed his napkin beside his plate, and walked out like the rest of us weren't even there.Let him stay gone, please.The moment I shut my door, I exhaled for what felt like the first time in hours. My hands trembled slightly as I pulled off my clothes and slipped into the soft pink nightie I'd picked earlier.I tied my hair into a bun and let my bare feet sink into the rug as I moved to sit on the bed. Just a few hours in this place and I already felt like a caged animal. It was as if the walls were also watching me.But at least the day was over. At least I could finally sleep.Tomorrow will be Sunday. So, first thing in the morning, I'll talk to Mum about not staying in this pack. Besides, one of my strong reasons would

    EVE.The ceremony was finally over.Thank God.I could finally breathe, at least a little. Air that wasn't tainted with Saint's scrutinising eyes crawling over my skin or his voice popping out of nowhere in my head like a curse I couldn't escape.I didn't bother unpacking. What was the point? I wasn't staying. I just dug through my suitcase and picked out something simple and clean for the inevitable family dinner. A basic top and jeans. Nothing too fancy. I also picked out a simple nightwear to use for the night.Mum's laughter filtered into my room as they made their way out to the dining area. She sounded light and peaceful, like this was everything she wanted.My new stepfather showed me to my room the moment we returned.I also found out that Saint had his own apartment not too far from here. It should have been encouraging. But it still wasn't enough. I didn't want to be anywhere near his territory.A knock came at the door, followed by a cheerful, "Come on out, honey! Dinner's
