Rafe's POV:

Neither of us moved for a long time.

The lamp was still on and Leo's shoulder was warm against mine and the safe house was quiet in the way it got very late at night when the whole world had gone somewhere else and left just this small lit space behind.

I had stopped trying to manage my expression somewhere around the moment he sat down beside me. There was no point anymore. Leo had a specific talent for arriving at the version of me that existed underneath all the managed parts and

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   206. A Surprise in Pain

    Maya's POV:The first transformation was the cleanest. My body knew what it was doing and the shift moved through me with the practiced efficiency of someone who had been shifting since early childhood. I came down to four legs and the world rearranged itself into the richer more immediate version, scent separating into layers, sound arriving with more detail, the dark becoming a detailed landscape of information rather than an absence of light.I ran the border.The Silver and Thorne boundary section was a three kilometre stretch of old forest that ran along a natural ridge. I worked it methodically, covering the ground in systematic passes, reading the scent markers and the ground disturbance and the air patterns that told you what had moved through recently and from which direction and how long ago.There had been rogue activity.Not tonight. Two nights ago at the most. The scent was faded but specific and I catalogued it carefully and kept moving.Two hours in I shifted back to hu

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   205. Niece of Rogue Alpha

    Maya's POV:The alarm went off at six and I opened my eyes and immediately regretted it.Not in the ordinary way of someone who did not want to be awake. In the specific way of someone whose body had filed a formal complaint overnight and was now presenting the documentation. Every muscle from my shoulders to my calves had that deep settled ache that came from one thing and one thing only. Repeated transformation in a short window.I lay on my back and looked at the ceiling and did not move for approximately thirty seconds because moving required a decision I was not ready to make yet.Then I made it anyway and pushed myself upright and the groan that came out of me was involuntary and honest and I was grateful nobody was there to hear it.Fever. I could feel it sitting in my skin, that particular dry warmth that had nothing to do with blankets or room temperature. My body was running hot from the inside and my joints were doing that thing where they communicated their feelings about r

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   204. My Thorne

    Blake's POV:The dorm room was exactly as I had left it.Punching bag split on the floor. Hand wraps on the shelf. The window showing a rectangle of dark sky with the Academy grounds quiet below it. Everything ordinary and unchanged and sitting in the specific contrast of spaces that do not know something has shifted in the person who just walked back into them.I sat on the edge of the bed.Alex's t-shirt was still on me and I had been aware of that the entire walk back and had not taken it off and was not taking it off now either which was its own kind of information about my current state that I was not ready to process directly.My mom.He had used my mom as the last thing he said. Not as a weapon exactly. More like a grenade he had pulled the pin on and left in the room after he said it. As if the information about our parents would change the shape of everything I had just said or take back the fact that he had stood there in his carefully arranged room and said he would break t

    Rafe's POV:Neither of us moved for a long time.The lamp was still on and Leo's shoulder was warm against mine and the safe house was quiet in the way it got very late at night when the whole world had gone somewhere else and left just this small lit space behind.I had stopped trying to manage my expression somewhere around the moment he sat down beside me. There was no point anymore. Leo had a specific talent for arriving at the version of me that existed underneath all the managed parts and waiting there patiently until everything else fell away and tonight I had run out of practiced sentences and rehearsed flatness and what was left was just me, tired and bruised and not actually wanting him to leave.I had never actually wanted him to leave.That was the problem from the beginning."You are still tense," Leo said quietly."I am always tense.""Not like this." He shifted slightly beside me. "This is the specific tension of someone who has been alone with their thoughts for too ma

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   202. Fight For It

    Leo's POV:The safe house light was still on.I could see it from the path, that thin warm line under the door, which meant he was awake or had fallen asleep with it on and either way I was not going back to my room without talking to him first. That was the decision I had made somewhere between staring at my ceiling for two hours and realising that staying there was not something I was capable of.I knocked.Soft. Three times.Silence from inside.I knocked again. "Rafe. I know you are awake. The light is on and you do not sleep with the light on."A long pause.Then footsteps.The door opened and Rafe was standing in it with his jaw bruise yellowing at the edges and his eyes carrying the specific exhausted quality of someone who had not slept and had been alone with their own thoughts for too long. He was in a grey sleep shirt and dark trousers and his hair was pushed back from his face and he looked at me with an expression that was trying very hard to be closed and was not fully su

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   201. Confusion of Confession

    Blake's POV:He said nothing."And to understand that," I said quietly, "you need to love someone truly. Really truly. With your whole chest and nothing held back."A pause."And I doubt you do that."The words landed in the room and sat there and I watched them hit his face and I did not take them back because they were honest and he had earned the honest version tonight more than anyone I had ever spoken to.I turned back to the door.His t-shirt was warm and smelled like him and I hated that I was keeping it and was going to keep it anyway.I did not wait for his reply.I walked out.The corridor was quiet and cool and ordinary in the way corridors were at this hour and I walked through it with his smell on my skin and my own words still sitting in my chest alongside everything else and the night air when I got outside was exactly what it always was at this hour, clean and cold and completely indifferent to what had just happened in that room.I walked back across the Academy ground

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   059. Boundaries I Break

    Alex's POV:The council chamber felt heavier at night.The stone walls did not change, but the silence did. It pressed closer, like it wanted answers carved into the air. The torches along the walls burned low, their light steady and unforgiving. Every symbol carved into the stone looked sharper th

    Blake's POV:Monday morning came without mercy.The bell echoed through Midnight Academy like a warning instead of a call. I walked through the main gates with my shoulders straight and my steps steady. My body felt whole again. The bruises had faded. The cuts had closed. But inside, something stay

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   063. The Storms Stay Outside

    Blake’s POV:Tuesday night crept in quietly, but the sky told a different story.Thick clouds covered the moon, heavy and restless, like they were arguing with the wind. The air felt damp. The kind of night that promised thunder but had not delivered it yet. That kind always made my chest feel tigh

    Alex’s POV:The kiss does not end when the thunder fades.It lingers.Not rushed. Not demanding. Just there, like Blake is afraid to let go too fast. His lips are warm. Steady. Grounding. My breath stutters before I can stop it. I feel the tremor in my chest before I even register it myself. He tas
