Mated to My Rival Step Brother 271. Which Alpha King
Blake's POV:The floor cracked.That was the only way to describe it. Not a gradual thing. Not a structural warning that gave anyone time to respond. One second it was solid arena stone and the next second it was not and Alex was going down with it and the gap that opened was not small.I did not think.I moved.My feet left the edge before I had processed the decision and the air came up around me and I heard everything behind me simultaneously. Maya's voice. Lyra's voice. Liam. The crowd. All of it hitting at once like a wall of sound and none of it slowing me down because right now there was only one thing that existed and it was somewhere below me falling into a hole that had opened in the floor of the Academy arena.The shift happened in the air.Mid-fall.I had shifted many times in my life. On the ground, in water, on the run. Never in freefall. The change moved through me with the urgency of the moment and I came down on four legs and the tunnel floor hit hard and I absorbed i
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 270. Always Loved You
Alex's POV:I had not planned to cross the floor.That was the honest version. I had been standing in the competitor observation area watching the scoring board and when the final aggregate came up with Blake's name at the top something in my chest had done something that bypassed every calculation I had and I was already moving before I had decided to move.The arena was loud and full and none of that was relevant.He was standing at the finish marker with Liam and Leo and Lyra and Maya around him and he was looking at the board and the particular quality of him in that moment, the specific realness of it, Blake Silver who had climbed a broken platform twelve meters above the forest floor and activated a beacon and descended and run three hundred meters and won, hit me somewhere that had no name except necessary.I crossed the floor.He saw me coming.His expression did not change into the managed version. It stayed exactly what it was which was open and warm and carrying the thing i
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 269. Silver Wins
Blake's POV:My right hand held.That was the only thing that mattered for the next three seconds. My right hand held and the platform swung and I found the rhythm of the swing instead of fighting it and waited for the arc to bring the surface back toward me and when it did I drove my left hand into the gap where the handhold had been and locked it.Held.I breathed.Then I climbed.The last four meters were the hardest four meters of the entire competition. The platform shifted with every movement and the broken rope meant the weight was uneven and every reach required recalculating the balance before committing to it. I moved slowly where I wanted to move fast and I trusted the slowness because fast would have put me back on the forest floor twelve meters below in a way that would have ended the competition permanently.My hand found the beacon.I activated it.The light that went up from it was visible from the arena. I knew that because I had seen the test beacon during the briefi
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 268. Five Layers
Blake's POV:The arena was different this morning.Not in the physical sense. The stone floor and the high windows and the observation tiers were exactly what they had always been. But the quality of the air inside was different. Denser. More intentional. The kind of atmosphere that built when something had been prepared carefully and was waiting to be revealed.Every seat was full.Not just students. Pack representatives in the upper tiers. Senior faculty along the east wall. Faces I recognized from political contexts rather than academic ones. People who had traveled for this specifically.I found my position and stood and felt the weight of the room settle onto my shoulders the way weight settled when it was legitimate and you had earned the right to carry it.Rolf was already at his position.He looked at me across the floor with those pale grey eyes and the expression that had not changed since the first day he walked into this Academy. Settled. Measuring. Carrying everything his
Mated to My Rival Step Brother 267. Five More Minutes
Blake's POV:The morning arrived the way good mornings arrived when you had not expected to sleep well and had slept well anyway. Slowly. With the particular quality of light that came through a window when the day outside had decided to be gentle about announcing itself.I was awake before Alex.That was not unusual. I had always been an early waker and Alex ran on a different internal clock, one that required more convincing before it committed to consciousness. I lay still and did not move because moving would wake him and he needed the sleep and also because I was not ready to give up the specific configuration of this moment yet.His head was on my shoulder where it had been since somewhere around midnight.His arm was across my ribs.The room was warm and the window was showing the pale early light and the Academy outside was quiet in the way it was quiet before six when the day had not yet made any demands on anyone.I looked at the ceiling.Silver Luna.He had said it last nig
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 116. A Song That Feels Like Home
Lyra’s POV:Tonight feels different.When I close the door of my dorm room, I lean against it and let out a long breath. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I did not even notice I was smiling that often until now. My chest feels warm, light. Like something heavy that used to sit there quietly has

Blake’s POV:The third day of the decade moon feels strange from the moment I wake up.I do not know why.Nothing bad happens. Nothing unusual. Still, there is a tight feeling in my chest, like something is about to change.I sit on my bed and rub my face. “You are overthinking again,” I tell mysel

Alex's POV:The house is too quiet tonight.I cannot sleep. The moonlight comes through the tall window and falls across my floor. It looks pale. Cold. Almost like the mansion itself is holding its breath.The second night of the Decade Mate Moon.Something feels wrong. It has felt wrong since I ar

Selene's POV:The night air feels colder than it should.I walk deeper into the Thorne forest, my steps slow, my breath uneven. Moonlight filters through the tall branches above, silver light touching the ground in broken shapes. Leaves shift softly under my shoes. Every sound feels louder tonight.
