My Step-Brothers’ Forbidden Addiction CHAPTER 44
Delilah’s POVI opened my eyes to see him looking at me with an expression I couldn’t quite read. Not anger, exactly. More like he was trying to carefully assess me.“She’s lying,” Mom said, tears in her eyes now. “She’s standing here lying about Dante and Mateo to cover up the fact that she didn’t want to come. That she doesn’t accept you as her step-father.”“I don’t think she is,” Ryker said slowly, still looking at me. “I know my sons, and I know when something doesn’t add up. Delilah has never been anything but respectful and honest since she came to live with us. If she says something happened, then something happened.”Hope flickered in my chest, fragile and desperate.“We need to figure out what actually occurred here,” Ryker continued. He turned to one of the staff members hovering nearby. “Could you please bring the guards from the entrance? I’d like to ask them some questions.”Dante and Mateo exchanged a glance, something passing between them too quickly for me to interpre
My Step-Brothers’ Forbidden Addiction CHAPTER 43
Delilah’s POVI stood there on those white stone steps, refusing to move despite the guards’ threats, when the entrance doors opened behind them.Mateo emerged first, his expression carefully arranged into something that looked almost sheepish, like he’d misplaced his keys or forgotten an appointment. Behind him came Dante, and the look of pure disgust on his face made my stomach drop.“There you are,” Mateo said, his voice carrying that false concern that made my skin crawl. “We’ve been looking everywhere for you. Where have you been?”The guards turned to look at them, confusion evident on their faces.I stared at the brothers, at their perfectly arranged expressions of confusion and concern, and realized with crushing certainty that this was exactly what they’d planned. Every single moment of the past hour had been choreographed down to the second.“Didn’t your mother teach you how to keep to time?” Dante asked, his voice dripping with contempt. “Or were you too busy trying to sedu

Vivienne’s POVThe private dining room at Lunar Heights was even more beautiful than I’d imagined. Crystal chandeliers cast warm light over elegantly dressed tables, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city lights twinkling in the distance. Everything was perfect, from the floral arrangements to the soft music playing in the background.I stood beside Ryker with his arm wrapped around my waist, and felt a surge of gratitude so powerful it nearly brought tears to my eyes. This was real. This life, this man, this acceptance I’d never dared to hope for.“You look radiant,” Alpha Luna Whitlock said, approaching with a warm smile. She was an elegant woman in her fifties with silver hair styled impeccably. “Marriage suits you, Vivienne.”“Thank you, Luna,” I said, still getting used to the fact that the Alpha Luna of Nightshade Pack was speaking to me like an equal, treating me like I belonged here instead of like the former rogue who’d spent years being whispered about and judged.

Delilah’s POVI jolted awake, disoriented and groggy, and grabbed my phone from my nightstand. Just past noon. I’d managed maybe four hours of sleep.“I’m awake,” I called back, my voice rough.“Mom and Dad already left for the restaurant,” Mateo’s voice joined his brother’s. “You’re riding with us. Oh, and Mom wanted us to remind you to grab her emergency makeup kit. She forgot it.”My stomach dropped. Of course they knew about the makeup kit. They’d probably been there when Mom mentioned it yesterday.“Where is it?” I asked through the door, not wanting to open it and face them yet.“She said it’s in her bathroom somewhere,” Dante replied, his tone carrying that edge of amusement that always meant trouble. “Better hurry up and find it. We’re leaving at one sharp.”Their footsteps retreated down the hall.I dragged myself out of bed and started searching. Mom’s bathroom cabinet was chaos, bottles and brushes and bags crammed together with no order. I pulled things out one by one, loo
My Step-Brothers’ Forbidden Addiction CHAPTER 40
Delilah’s POVMy blue dress lay across my bed in tatters, destroyed beyond any hope of repair. Someone had taken scissors or a knife to the fabric, shredding it methodically from neckline to hem until the bodice hung in strips and the skirt looked like it had been through a paper shredder. Dark stains that looked suspiciously like motor oil covered what remained of the silk.I stood frozen in the doorway, staring at the ruins of the only formal dress I owned, the dress I’d worn to my university graduation, the one Mom had saved up for months to buy me because she wanted me to feel special that day.Now it was destroyed.My hands shook as I moved closer and picked up a piece of torn fabric, examining the clean, deliberate cut. Someone had spent time doing this, making sure every inch was ruined so thoroughly that even the best seamstress couldn’t salvage it.Mateo’s voice echoed in my head from dinner. “She should probably bring a backup. Formal events can be unpredictable.”They’d kno

Delilah’s POV“It wasn’t a big deal,” I said, sliding into my seat and focusing intently on my empty plate.“Playing with children,” Dante added, tilting his head like he was considering this new information. “How sweet. I didn’t know you were so good with kids.”The double meaning in his words was clear to me even if no one else caught it. He was mocking me. Reminding me that he’d orchestrated the whole thing.“It was spontaneous,” I said quietly.“Well, I think it’s lovely,” Mom said, passing me a serving bowl of roasted vegetables. “The more connections you make here, the better. This is your home now.”Ryker raised his wine glass with a broad smile. “Speaking of home and connections, I want to make a toast. Tomorrow is not just my birthday. It’s a celebration of our family coming together. Vivienne, the boys, and Delilah—we’re building something special here.”We all lifted our glasses. Mine trembled slightly in my hand.“And speaking of tomorrow,” Ryker continued, setting his gla
