Mated to My Rival Step Brother 196. The Alpha Claims His Territory
Alex's POV:It's 8:30 PM, just 2 hours left the Blake will be here.The knock on the door pulls me away from the window where I had been standing, watching the city lights blur into each other below.I walk to the door without rushing. I already know what it is.I sign the slip, take the box, close the door.I stand there for a moment just holding it. Dark matte packaging. No branding. Discreet. Exactly how I ordered it."Finally," I mutter, carrying the box to the dining table.I slice through the tape and open the flaps.I stare.The silk ropes are folded with a precision that feels almost theatrical. Deep crimson, nearly black under my low lighting. I lift one coil and let it run slowly through my fingers. Smooth. Strong. Not a rough edge anywhere. Quality. Real quality. I had done my research before ordering and it shows. Worth every penny.I set the rope down and reach for the next items nestled in their foam compartments. I check each one carefully. Charged. Clean. Exactly as de

Mated to My Rival Step Brother 195. Sooner Than You Think
Maya's POV:My room was quiet when I closed the door behind me.The afternoon had gone the way afternoons at the Academy tended to go when too many things had happened before noon, stretched and slightly unreal, like the day itself was tired of its own contents and was moving through the remaining hours out of obligation rather than genuine momentum.I dropped my bag on the desk chair and sat on the edge of my bed and looked at my phone for a moment before I dialed.It rang twice."Maya." Lyra's voice came through warm and slightly raspy in the specific way it got when she had been resting, that soft unguarded quality that she would never allow in a public setting but was completely comfortable with on a call with me. "I was just thinking about you.""Good things I hope.""Mostly." I could hear the smile in it. "Occasionally concerning things. What is happening over there."I leaned back against my headboard and pulled my knees up. "Give me your update first. How are you feeling."A sh
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 196.The Vow
Rolf's POV:The classroom was half empty at this hour.Late afternoon theory session. Pack governance and inter-territorial law. The kind of subject that most Alpha heirs sat through with the particular expression of people who understood the material was necessary and found it somewhere between tolerable and actively painful. The professor's voice moved through the room at a consistent unhurried pace and chalk met the board at regular intervals and the afternoon light came through the long windows in flat pale strips across the desks.I sat in the back row.I always sat in the back row. Not because I could not follow from the front. Because the back row gave you the whole room without giving the room you.My notebook was open in front of me and my pen was in my hand and I had written approximately four lines since the session began forty minutes ago. The rest of the page was blank. The professor had not noticed or had noticed and decided it was not worth the conversation. Either way
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 195. Preparation of The Punishment
Blake's POV:My phone buzzed in my pocket.I pulled it out.Leo.I sat up slightly and accepted the call. "Leo."His voice came through immediately and the quality of it landed on me like cold water. I had heard Leo in various states across the years. Worried. Excited. Tired. Frustrated. This was something different. This was the specific sound of someone who had been holding something together and was close to not being able to hold it anymore."Blake." His voice was low. "I need to tell you something.""I am listening."A pause. Long enough that I straightened fully from the tree."Rafe called me," Leo said. "Just now. He." Another pause. The kind that had weight in it. "He wants to end it. He said it is too complicated and the pack politics are too much and that last night proved it was not safe and." He stopped.The afternoon was very quiet."He wants to break up with me," Leo said. The sentence came out with the particular flatness of someone who had said it out loud for the first
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 194. Complicated
Blake's POV:I looked up at Rolf and the oak tree was solid at my back and the afternoon was quiet around us and I waited to hear what he had to say.He sat down beside me without being invited. Not close. Just within conversation distance, his back against the wall rather than the tree, his long legs stretched out in front of him and his pale eyes on the middle distance."I will be direct," he said."Go ahead."He looked at me sideways. "I am here to win the Alpha Heir Competition. That is the only reason I transferred. Ironhold did not have the level of competition I needed and this bracket does." He paused. "You are the most capable opponent in this bracket. Possibly the only one worth genuine concern."I said nothing."I am proposing an arrangement," he continued. "Information sharing. Tactical alignment through the early rounds. We identify the weaker pairings and manage the bracket together until the final stages." He said it with the same flat economy he used for everything. Lik
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 029. Disturbed Mind
Blake’s POV:I froze.I looked up slowly, and there he was, standing too close, eyes sharp, jaw tight. His hand was still on my arm, strong, steady. I hated how safe it felt.“What are you doing in Liam’s dorm?” he asked. His voice was not loud, but it was hard. Like he was already annoyed before h

Alex’s POV:I stood there, still, like my feet were rooted to the floor.The voice that came from the phone did not stay clear long enough for me to be sure. At first, it sounded like him. The tone. The calm control. The way the words carried weight. But then it shifted. Just a little. Enough to co

Alex’s POVI didn’t think.I didn’t pause.The moment I heard that sound, that broken cry echoing through the trees, my body moved on its own. My wolf surged forward even before my mind caught up. The forest blurred as I ran, paws hitting the ground hard, rage pumping through my veins.I saw them.

Alex’s POV:“Rogue Alpha.”The words left Blake’s mom’s mouth heavy, like they carried weight of their own. Not shouted. Not panicked. Just stated. That made it worse.Liam sucked in a sharp breath. Maya stiffened beside the door like someone froze her in place. And me, I felt something cold slide d
