NightingaleHi Readers, Are you loving the simple chapter? But what exactly might be bothering Alex? Can anyone guess it?
Latest chapter
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 266. Silver Luna
Blake's POV:Alex stood up from the chair and said he was getting food and I did not argue with that because the afternoon had been chips and soft drinks and the evening required something more substantial and also because Alex deciding to do something and doing it was one of my favourite things about him that I had never said out loud.He came back twenty minutes later with two containers from the kitchen building, the good ones, the ones that required knowing which window to knock on after hours and apparently Alex Thorne knew which window to knock on after hours which I filed under things that did not surprise me.He set them on the desk and we ate there, him in the chair and me sitting on the edge of the bed pulled close, and the food was warm and real and considerably better than the treehouse provisions from the previous night."You knew about the kitchen window," I said."Rafe told me in first year," he said. "He knows every operational shortcut in this Academy.""Of course he
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 265. Can He?
Alex's POV:The dorm room was quiet when I closed the door behind me.I stood in the middle of it for a moment without moving. The evening was settling outside the window and the Academy was doing its usual thing of continuing regardless of what any individual inside it was processing and I stood in the quiet and let the day land on me properly for the first time since it had started.Semifinal. Lost.Rolf and Blake in the final.The forest task and Maya moving under Rolf's direction and the look Rolf had given across the clearing and everything that look contained.And then the afternoon in Maya's room. The film and the chips and the energy drink and Blake's shoulder four inches from mine for two hours and neither of us moving away from it.I sat on the edge of my bed.The thing I had been not thinking about directly moved to the front now that the room was quiet enough to let it.Alpha heir.That was what I was. That was what I had been trained toward since before I could properly a
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 264. Not Normal Times
Blake's POV:The movie was Maya's choice and therefore it was something with dramatic music and people making terrible decisions in beautiful locations and Lyra watched it with complete composure while Maya provided running commentary on every terrible decision as it happened.Alex sat beside me on the floor with his back against the bed and his energy drink mostly finished and his shoulder approximately four inches from mine and neither of us moved to change that configuration at any point during the film.This was the thing about what we had not said in the room yet.There was a conversation that needed to happen. A specific one. About Rolf and the semifinal task and the way Maya had moved under his direction and the look Rolf had given me across the forest clearing when his team found the third flag and he had glanced at Maya beside him with that cold particular awareness that said he knew something about her that he had decided was useful.I knew what he knew.Or I knew enough of
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 263. What Is Cooking
Lyra's POV:The knock came again.Three times. Deliberate. Patient.Maya and I looked at each other in the specific way that two people looked at each other when they were both wearing significantly less clothing than was appropriate for receiving visitors and one of them had a father with wolves stationed outside the building."How fast can you move," Maya whispered."Faster than you apparently," I whispered back.We were already in motion. Maya grabbed the oversized t-shirt from the back of her desk chair and pulled it over her head in approximately one second. It covered everything that needed covering and then some, falling to mid-thigh, and she smoothed it down and shook her hair out and looked at me.I looked at myself.Black sports bra. Black boxer shorts."Dressing room," Maya said."Obviously," I said.I moved.The dressing room door was narrow and the interior was slightly cramped with both of our things in it from earlier and I folded myself behind the hanging clothes and p
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 262. Switch
Maya's POV:The dorm room was quiet when I came back from the forest task and closed the door behind me.Quiet was good. Quiet meant nobody was in the corridor asking questions about the scratches visible on my arms or the way I was holding my left side with slightly more care than usual. I had managed the task. I had done what was required under Rolf's leadership which had been efficient and cold and completely without warmth but professionally competent in a way I could not argue with.He had won.Of course he had won.I sat on the edge of my bed and looked at my arms.The scratches from the forest task were more than I had let on during the briefing. The terrain had been rough and Rolf's approach to navigation had prioritized speed over caution and I had taken two branches across the right forearm and one longer one across my left shoulder that was going to need proper cleaning. On top of last night's injuries which were mostly healed but still present in the specific way that heal
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 261. Into the Forest Again
Alex's POV:The task briefing happened at the forest edge at ten sharp.Coach Vega stood at the boundary marker with a tablet and the expression he wore when he had designed something he found adequately challenging and was waiting to see if the people in front of him were going to prove him right.The four teams stood in loose formations behind their respective Alpha heirs. I could feel Leo Silver behind me without looking. His pack energy was familiar in the way that Silver pack energy was always familiar, clean and structured, but carrying underneath it the specific quality of someone who was acutely aware that he was standing behind the Alpha heir of the pack his boyfriend belonged to. Complicated was the correct word for that situation and I had agreed with Rafe's assessment and was managing it accordingly.Rolf stood to my left with his team and Maya was at his right shoulder and she was holding her posture with the specific deliberateness of someone who had decided their body l
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 073. The Prisoner in the Dark
Blake's POV:We move before dawn.No one argues this time.The forest feels different after what happened to me. It listens more closely. Or maybe I do. Every sound lands sharp in my head. Every shadow feels layered, like something could be hiding behind it and behind that again.Lyra walks a few st

Blake's POV:The attack does not come all at once.It creeps.The forest tightens like a lung drawing breath. Leaves shift in slow circles. Shadows move where they should not. I feel them before I see them. My wolf presses forward, alert and angry, claws scraping against my ribs like it wants out n

Blake's POV:The milk did not burn me.Alex grabbed my wrist fast and pulled my hand back before it even touched the pot. The milk spilled slightly over the edge, hissing against the stove, but my skin was safe. Steam filled the small kitchen.“Blake,” Alex said again, breath sharp. “Are you hurt?”

Alex's POV:By Monday afternoon, it felt like the academy had learned how to breathe differently.Every step I took echoed louder than it should have. The halls were the same stone, the same banners, the same sharp smell of training oil and old books. But the air carried something else now. Attenti
