Blake's POV:

I do not fall asleep.

I fall inward.

Darkness folds around me like deep water, heavy and cold at first, then burning hot. My body is gone. The ground is gone. Even sound feels far away, like it belongs to someone else.

Then the pain hits.

It starts in my chest.

Not sharp. Not sudden. Slow and spreading, like something is tearing open from the inside and stretching space that was never meant to stretch. My ribs feel too small. My lungs drag air that tastes wrong. Every breath scrape

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   238. Early Ground

    Blake's POV:The forest was mine before anyone else wanted it.That was the thing about early mornings at Midnight Academy. The grounds belonged to whoever got there first and at five forty seven in the morning the answer to that was almost always me. The trail through the east woods was packed dirt and exposed root and the kind of uneven ground that required actual attention which was exactly why I ran it. Attention was the point. Attention meant the rest of it stayed quiet.I ran.The air had that specific quality it got before full light arrived, cool and carrying the smell of pine resin and wet soil and something underneath both of those that was just the forest being itself before the day had opinions about it. My shoulder was cooperating. I had woken at five and put it through thirty minutes of careful work before I laced my shoes and that had been the right call because now it moved clean and the pull I had been managing for three days was sitting at a two rather than a five.G

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   237. Her Paled Face

    Lyra’s POV:I woke up slowly, the kind of waking that feels like floating up from a warm dream. Maya’s arms were still around me, her body curled against mine under the thin blanket. We were both completely naked, skin to skin, the blanket pulled up just enough to cover us from the cool morning air coming through the slightly open window. Her leg was draped over my thigh, her face tucked into the crook of my neck, and her steady breathing brushed softly against my skin.This was the best morning of my life.The bruise on my chest still sat there, faded now to a dull purple-yellow, but the sharp pain from yesterday had almost disappeared. Only when I tried to move my right arm too quickly did a tiny sting remind me it was still healing. Everything else felt perfect. Warm. Safe. Hers.I stayed still for a long minute, just breathing her in. Her hair smelled like the Academy shampoo mixed with something sweet that was purely Maya. I turned my head carefully and pressed a light kiss to he

  • 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

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   233. I Can’t Anymore (18+)

    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

    Lyra’s POV:I wake up with the sound of soft knocking on my door.For a moment I forget where I am. Then I remember everything. Academy. Dorm. Last night on the balcony. The song. Maya’s eyes when she listened.My heart feels warm again.“Lyra,” Maya’s voice comes from outside. “Are you awake?”I s
