Mated to My Rival Step Brother 282. Every Breath
Lyra's POV:I did not leave her side.Not in the forest. Not during the carry back. Not in the medical wing when the Academy healers took over and I stood at the edge of the room watching them work and translating everything they said into what I already knew from the texts I had read and the knowledge I had built over years specifically because knowledge was the thing that did not fail you when everything else became uncertain.The claw wounds were deep.Both sides of her chest. The ribs on the right had taken the worst of it, two of them compromised, and the tissue damage on both sides was significant enough that the lead healer had looked at me when she arrived and said she is strong and I had said I know and neither of us had said the other thing that was in the room.I knew the other thing.I had known it the moment Maya went down in the forest and I had covered the distance between us in the specific time of someone who is not thinking about distance but only about the person at
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 281. End of The Rogue Alpha
Selene's POV:I saw Maya go down.From across the clearing I saw it and I felt it the way you felt things that involved people you had decided mattered to you and Maya had been deciding to matter to me for longer than she knew. The claw marks. Both sides. The specific terrible precision of someone who understood anatomy and had used that understanding as a weapon.She shifted and put herself between Aldric and Lyra.Still standing.Still holding her position with everything she had left which was not much and was somehow enough.I was already moving.Gregory was beside me and Blake was coming in from the right and Alex from the left and the four of us converged on the same point with the specific quality of people who had been fighting separately and had just become one thing.Aldric turned and saw us.And hesitated.I had been waiting for that hesitation for thirty years."It is over, Aldric," I said.He looked at me.The flat expression was still there but underneath it something ha
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 280. The Claw
Maya's POV:The fight had found its rhythm.That was the thing about extended combat. After the initial chaos of contact and positioning settled into something more structured you could read it like a pattern. Who was where. Who was winning. Where the pressure was coming from and where it was thinning. I had been reading it for the last twelve minutes and the pattern was shifting in our favor.Gregory and Aldric were the center of it.The two of them had moved through the forest like the fight was personal because it was personal and had always been personal and everyone else was operating around the edges of that central fact. Gregory was stronger. Aldric was faster and knew the terrain and those two advantages had been keeping him alive longer than he deserved.The betas were handling the outer ring.Blake and Alex were working together in the way that newly bonded wolves worked together which was with a coordination that looked practiced but was not practiced. It was instinctual. T
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 279. Completed
Blake's POV:Alex's face was in my hands.The forest was loud around us and the fight was real and present and none of it was what existed in this specific circle of space between the rock face and the cave entrance where I was kneeling in front of Alex Thorne with his face in my hands and everything else receding to the edges.He was looking at me.His eyes were the problem. Not the color or the expression but the softness at the edges of them that should not have been there. Alex's eyes were never soft at the edges. They were sharp and dark and carrying the specific focused intelligence that had been the first thing I noticed about him years ago and had never stopped noticing.The softness was the wolfsbane.Moving through him slowly and steadily and doing the specific work of something that had been designed to take down an Alpha and was succeeding at a measured pace."Blake," he said."I know," I said."You do not have to."I looked at him."Alex Thorne," I said quietly. "I have b
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 278. Mark Him
Selene's POV:Gregory moved the moment Aldric's hand closed around my wrist.Not with the measured controlled movement he used in formal contexts. With the specific quality of someone who had been watching something he was not going to watch anymore and had made the decision without deliberation.His hand came down on Aldric's wrist and broke the grip on mine and I stepped back and Gregory stepped in and the space between him and Aldric became the kind of space that had no room for anything except what was happening in it.Aldric looked at Gregory's hand on his wrist.Then he looked at Gregory's face.Something shifted in his expression. The first real shift I had seen. Not fear. Something adjacent to it that he was covering with the flat expression but the covering was imperfect."Thirty years," Gregory said quietly. "You have been in our lives for thirty years. Killing. Interfering. Planting people. Running your plan." He held Aldric's wrist. "It ends tonight."Aldric pulled his wri
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 277. Touched By You
Selene's POV:I knew the voice before I saw the face.That was the thing about voices that belonged to specific memories. They did not age the way faces did. They arrived exactly as they had been preserved, sharp and immediate and carrying everything they had carried the first time you heard them, and this one carried twenty years of things I had spent considerable effort not thinking about.I stepped out of the cave first.The forest was dim in the evening light and he was standing ten meters away with the easy posture of someone who had been waiting and had known the waiting would end exactly this way. He looked older than the last time I had seen him and the same age simultaneously in the way that certain people existed outside the normal progression of time because they had never allowed the world to fully touch them.He was not large. That had always been the thing people got wrong about him when they tried to imagine the rogue alpha based on his reputation. Average height. Lean.
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 040. What Maya Knows
Maya’s POV:I did not knock loudly.Just two soft taps on the door.I waited.Inside, I could hear slow movement, a shift on the bed, then Liam’s voice.“Yeah.”I opened the door carefully and stepped in.Blake was awake. Sitting slightly upright with pillows behind him. His face looked pale, but h

Alex’s POV:I stood there for a second longer than I should have after Liam barked, “What the hell is happening here?”The question was loud, sharp, but it wasn’t meant for an answer. It was meant to break whatever moment had almost existed between Blake and me.And it worked.Blake shifted first.

Blake’s POV:Tuesday felt longer than it should.I woke up late again. Not because I wanted to sleep, but because my body refused to move on time. Pain still lived in my back. Not sharp like before, but deep. Like something was sitting there, heavy, reminding me I am not fine yet.I stared at the c

Blake’s POV:I woke up slowly, like my body did not want to come back fully.My eyes opened, then closed again, then opened for real. The ceiling above me felt unfamiliar for a second. Then the pain reminded me where I was. My back burned first. A deep, dull pain, like claws were still there under
