  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   276. The Stone and the Cave

    Lyra's POV:The border of rogue alpha territory looked like any other stretch of forest at first.Old trees. Dense undergrowth. The particular quality of late afternoon light coming through a canopy that had not been maintained or managed and had grown according to its own logic for however many years this territory had been held outside the formal pack structure.Then you felt it.Not with your eyes. With the part of you that was wolf and had instincts older than any Academy training. A specific quality to the air here that was different from Silver territory and different from Thorne territory and different from any neutral forest I had run through. Something in it that said claimed and said warning and said turn back in a frequency that bypassed conscious thought and went directly to the base of the spine.Selene felt it. I could see it in the slight change in her posture.Gregory's jaw had set.I kept walking.Maya stopped.She turned to face us and her hand went into the pocket o

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   275. I Love You Not Your Identity

    Lyra's POV:Nobody asked Maya anything.That was the agreement that nobody stated out loud but everyone in the room honored. Selene looked at the map. Gregory looked at the tracker. I looked at Maya and Maya looked at the floor and the silence that followed her revelation was not the cold kind. It was the kind that came when a room full of people had received something significant and had decided that the receiving was enough for now.There would be time for the rest.Blake and Alex were in rogue alpha territory with an unknown substance in Alex's system and the afternoon was moving toward evening and that was the only thing with a deadline on it.Everything else could wait.We split to prepare.Selene and Gregory went to coordinate with the pack representatives who had been at the competition and were now redirected to something considerably more serious than a competition. I watched them move through the administrative block corridor side by side, not touching but close enough that

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   274. Rogue Alpha's Niece

    Lyra's POV:The arena was still loud when I left it.Not the good kind of loud. The kind that came after something had gone wrong in a public space and nobody had enough information to know how wrong and everyone was filling the gap with noise. Pack representatives on their phones. Academy staff moving with the specific urgency of people who had been given instructions and were following them while also being frightened. Students in clusters talking over each other.I moved through all of it toward one destination.Blake's mother.I had felt him through the mind link and the mind link had told me everything his words had not said directly. The specific quality of Blake Silver when he was frightened was something I had known since we were children and it was rare enough that encountering it was its own alarm system.I am honestly terrified.Blake did not say that.Blake did not say that to anyone.I walked faster.Someone had given Selene a room in the administrative block during the c

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   273. Find Us Faster

    Blake's POV:The growls were close enough now that I could feel them in my chest before I heard them with my ears.Too close.I looked at Alex against the tree trunk and made the calculation in under two seconds. He was not going to regain consciousness fast enough to move himself and I was not going to leave him and the approaching wolves were not going to stop because I asked them politely.I semi shifted.Not the full change. The halfway version that gave me the strength and the enhanced senses without committing fully to four legs. Harder to maintain. More expensive on the body. Useful for exactly this kind of situation where I needed to carry something and also run.I got Alex over my shoulder.He was completely limp and the dead weight of an unconscious person was different from the cooperative weight of someone who was helping with the process and I adjusted and moved.I ran.The forest received us.What forest this was I genuinely did not know. The tunnel had been long and the

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   272. Needle Mark

    Blake's POV:They did not answer.The senior wolf looked at the others with the specific look of someone giving a silent instruction and the four of them moved simultaneously and the wolfsbane came out fast, two dart launchers from the wolves on the right flank and a spray canister from the one on the left and the whole setup had the coordinated quality of people who had practiced this specific configuration.Practiced on wolves.On shifted wolves specifically.Which meant they knew what they were dealing with and had prepared accordingly.Unfortunately for them I had also prepared.Not for this specifically. But for the general category of things that went wrong in ways that required everything available and left no room for managing the response.I shifted.Full Alpha form.The white coat settled into place and the world rearranged into the richer version and I was already moving before the first dart cleared the launcher. The dart hit the tree behind where I had been standing and I

  • 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   149. The Silence Between Us

    Blake’s POV:Alex does not answer me.Not a word.He just stands there, eyes distant, jaw tight, breathing still uneven from the closeness we just shared. It feels like I reached him, brushed something raw and real, and then watched it slip through my fingers like smoke.“Alex,” I try once more, sof

    Lyra’s POV:Three past.Not morning. Not night.That strange hour when the world feels suspended between breathing and breaking.I stare at the faint glow of the clock from the edge of my vision, my eyes burning from staying open too long. Sleep never came. Pain made sure of that. Every time I close

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   145. Rage of Crossing Line

    Alex’s POV:Blake’s footsteps fade down the corridor long before the echo inside my chest does. I stand where he left me, unmoving, staring at the closed door as if it might open again and undo everything I just said. The air in the room feels heavy, suffocating, like even the walls are disappointe
