Blake’s POV:

Friday morning came quiet. Too quiet for a place like this academy where noise never really sleeps. I opened my eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling of my dorm. White. Plain. Nothing special. My body felt better than the last few days. Not perfect, but good enough. My back still pulled a little when I moved. My ribs were sore if I breathed too deep. But I could stand. I could walk. I could leave.

That thought stayed with me.

I sat up on the bed and let my feet touch the floor. Col

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   236. A Promise From Someone Special

    Alex's POV:The word came out before I decided to say it.Not calculated. Not considered. Just there, arriving from somewhere that bypassed the part of me that managed what I said and how I said it and why."Aunt."Selene's eyes moved to the camera.I had not called her that since the first time Blake had introduced us, years ago, with the easy casualness of someone who considered the title obvious. She had smiled at it then. The warm kind. The kind that meant it had landed somewhere real.I had not used it since because using it required acknowledging something about what she was to our extended world that I had been in the process of making complicated."Aunt," I said again. More steady this time. "What happened. Who was that. Tell me." A pause. "I am here."I was surprised by my own voice.Not the words exactly. The quality of them. The thing underneath the words that I had not put there deliberately but that was there anyway, present and real and sounding, if I was being honest ab

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   235. A Call

    Alex's POV:I had not known that.I had known nothing about my mother's academy years beyond the bare outline. She had left when I was young and the leaving had been managed and explained in the specific careful way that absences in powerful families were managed and explained and I had accepted the explanation because I had been given no reason not to."Things were good," my father said, picking up from where she had paused. "For most of that year. The four of us. Different packs but inside the friendship it did not feel like that." He looked at the screen directly. "And then mid semester there was a new enrollment.""An alpha heir," Selene said. "That was how he presented. From a pack none of us recognized by name but the documentation was in order and the Academy accepted him." She stopped. "He was not what he said he was."I looked at them both."He was a rogue alpha heir," my father said. "Disguised. The documentation was forged and nobody found that out until much later. By then

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   234. The Story Before Ours

    Alex's POV:My phone was in my hand for three minutes before I dialed.I sat on the edge of my bed with the screen lit and my father's contact open and I thought about Blake's seven words and Maya's yes in the atrium and the theory test and Rolf's voice in the arena and the message my father had sent about Silver Luna and not letting Blake know and I thought about all of it and then I dialed anyway because not dialing was not going to make any of it smaller.It connected on the second ring.My father's face appeared on screen. He looked the way he looked when he had been somewhere comfortable for a few hours, slightly less formal than usual, the top button of his shirt open, his expression carrying that particular quality it had been carrying for several months now which was something settled and warm underneath everything else.I did not like how much I noticed that."Alex," he said."Father."A pause.Then he shifted slightly and turned the phone and suddenly there were two faces on

    Selene's POV:As he said, he wasn’t done. Not even close. He pulled out gently, flipped me onto my stomach, and pulled my hips up so I was on all fours, doggy style, the position that always made my wolf howl inside. “Look at you,” he said, voice thick as he ran his hands over my ass, squeezing. “So ready for me again.” He slid back in from behind in one smooth thrust, deeper this way, and started pounding. The sound of skin slapping skin filled the treehouse along with my loud moans and his low grunts. “Take it, Luna. Take every inch of your alpha.” His hand reached around to rub my clit in tight circles and I came hard on the third round, screaming his name into the pillow. He followed right after, filling me again with hot pulses that made me shudder.We shifted positions for the fourth me on top now, riding him slow and deep while he sat up against the headboard, hands on my breasts, mouth sucking at my nipples again. “Ride me just like that,” he groaned, eyes half-lidded with ple

    Selene's POV:“Gregory… oh gods, yes…” The words came out breathy, needy, and he smiled against my skin like he’d been waiting for exactly that sound. He lowered his head and took one nipple into his mouth, sucking slow and deep, tongue flicking over it in lazy circles while his hand worked the other one, pinching just hard enough to send sparks straight down between my legs. My fingers tangled in his hair, holding him there as heat flooded through me. He switched sides, giving the other breast the same worship, teeth grazing lightly, then soothing with his tongue until I was squirming under him, thighs pressing together for any kind of friction.“Feel that?” he whispered, lifting his head just enough to look at me with those glowing eyes. “That’s me reminding you who you belong to. Who we belong to. Together.” He kissed down my stomach next, slow burn all the way, nipping at my ribs, licking the dip of my navel like he had all the time in the world. His hands hooked into the waistban

    Selene's POV:The phone screen glowed in the dim orange light of the treehouse like some kind of warning from the shadows themselves. My fingers tightened around it before I could stop them. The message stared back at me plain and ugly. Unknown number. Just those words. Sooner your happiness will turn into a mourn. No name. No explanation. Just that single line sitting there like a blade pressed to my throat. My wolf stirred hard under my skin, hackles rising, a low growl building in my chest that I had to swallow down fast. The warmth that had been pooling between Gregory and me a second ago turned cold in an instant. My heart slammed against my ribs like it wanted out. Blake. Alex. Gregory. All of them flashed through my mind in one sharp rush and I felt the fear sink its teeth in deep. Gregory’s arms were still locked around me but he felt the shift immediately. His body went still against mine the way only an alpha can when he senses danger in the air. “Selene?” His voice was low

    Alex’s POV:After dinner we cleaned up silently. I do not know why the silence felt warm instead of awkward.
