STEPHEN

I was buried in paperwork, half-distracted, when my phone buzzed.

Julia.

Her name flashed on the screen, and instantly, my jaw clenched.

Why the hell is she calling me? I hadn't blocked her not yet but every time I saw her name, my stomach turned. She might still carry the label of “girlfriend,” but it meant nothing now. The connection was long dead. Honestly, just hearing from her made my skin crawl.

I picked up with a cold, flat voice.

“What?”

“You need to come to the main hall,” she said. Her tone was too calm. Too casual.

A spark of irritation lit inside me. “Why would I do that? You know no one’s allowed in that hall. I made it clear.”

That space no, that shrine was off-limits. It held the last traces of my mother, the very room where Luca slaughtered her with his bare hands. I'd preserved it exactly as it was... untouched. Sacred. And Julia, of all people, knew that.

Her next words made my blood run cold.

“Selena broke the urn. Your mother’s ashes... they’re all over the

    JULIAThe night air bit into my skin as I wandered down the nearly empty street, the moonlight casting long shadows that danced with every step I took. My heels clicked against the pavement sharp, angry echoes that mirrored the chaos brewing in my chest.How?How the hell did Stephen get Selena back?I had taken her far away hidden her so deep she should’ve disappeared into dust. I did everything to make sure she would never return to this pack, and yet… there she was. Standing beside him. Looking whole. Alive. Loved.My fingers curled into fists, nails digging into my palms as I struggled to breathe. I thought I was finally winning Stephen back. Thought that the way he held me, the way he pounded into me like he was starving, meant something.But no.I was nothing but a distraction. A dirty secret.He was still hers.Rage flared hot in my veins. I’d counted on Alpha Tyler. I made sure Selena ended up in his hands. Stephen wouldn’t have been reckless enough to step foot into enemy ter

    STEPHENShe didn’t recognize me. Not even a flicker of familiarity in her eyes.But she would.I stepped closer, careful not to startle her. The ache in my chest throbbed with every cautious step."I would never hurt you, Selena," I said softly, my voice breaking around the edges.She flinched. Her back hit the wall, and her arms wrapped instinctively around her swollen belly like a shield. Her eyes were wide and wet with fear."You already did," she whispered. "You tried to kill my baby... you made me lose my memories."My breath caught."What?" I blinked, stunned. "Selena, I would never... I didn’t... I couldn’t do that to you."But her words echoed louder in my head than my denial.She said she lost her memories.A cold knot formed in my stomach. How could a Healer Wolf my Healer Wolf forget who she is... who I am?And then a name flashed through my mind like a thunderclap. Adam. My cousin.If he had anything to do with this, if he touched her, if he planted lies in her mind he wou

    STEPHENTwo weeks.That’s how long I’ve stalked the edges of Adam’s mansion like a ghost in the shadows watching, learning, blending in.Now, I know every creak of the floorboards, every blind spot in the cameras, every rotation of the guards. More importantly, I’ve already planted my people inside, wolves loyal only to me. Disguised as guards. Waiting for my signal.How I pulled it off? Let’s just say I have my ways. I’m Stephen this is what I do.And tonight, I’m taking back what’s mine.Selena.The main gate creaks open as I approach in a stolen patrol car, my frame hidden beneath a crisp guard’s uniform. There’s no resistance Adam’s real guards are either unconscious or worse. My men handled them quickly.The mansion looms in the moonlight, silent and still. Too still. The kind of silence that makes your instincts prickle with warning.I step out of the car and stride to the front door without hesitation. No alarms. No resistance.Everything is going according to plan.Inside, the

    ADAMSomething felt off.The moment Selena and I stepped out of the boutique, a prickling sensation crawled down the back of my neck an invisible weight pressing against my shoulders. I glanced casually over my shoulder. No suspicious cars. No shadowed figures. Just the regular buzz of town life. Still, the feeling wouldn’t leave.I gripped the steering wheel tighter as we got into the car. Selena settled into the passenger seat, her fingers brushing over her belly in slow, affectionate circles. My heart clenched. She smiled, unaware, lost in the moment, admiring the new baby clothes we'd picked out.But my mind was elsewhere.Stephen.Since the engagement party, ever since I caught the hunger in his eyes when he looked at her, I knew he’d come for her. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but he would. And that terrified me more than anything.I wasn’t just protecting Selena I was holding onto her with every thread of my being. I’d built a world around her. But lately, she’d started p

  • My Stepbrother, My Alpha, My Man   CHAPTER 96

    STEPHENThe moment my boots touched Nightshade soil, my blood began to boil.I hadn’t slept well in days, haunted by the image of her my Selena wrapped in another man's arms, smiling like she hadn’t once vowed herself to me. The memory of her standing next to Adam at that damned engagement party replayed in my mind like a curse. Her hand in his. Her laugh. The way she leaned into him like he was her anchor.That should’ve been me.I kept my hood low as I stepped out of the truck, my guards flanking me in silence. We weren’t here to make noise. Not yet.The Nightshade Pack was… different. Too peaceful. Children ran through the streets with painted faces, laughter echoing through the air like a celebration. Vendors lined the road with trinkets and sweets, and music played from a corner shop like there wasn’t a war history between our packs.It felt like a fantasy. Or a distraction.In my pack, smiles were earned after blood and sweat. We trained harder than we breathed. No one had time

  • My Stepbrother, My Alpha, My Man   CHAPTER 95

    STEPHEN“Father!”I burst into his chamber without knocking, the door slamming against the wall with a sharp thud. The scent of old leather and burning firewood filled the air, grounding me in this place I once called home but right now, it suffocated me.He was seated by the hearth, a thick tome resting open on his lap, glasses perched on his nose. Calm. Always so damn calm.“I need to talk to you,” I said, voice tight, raw with everything I was holding in.He closed the book with deliberate care, looking up at me with those unreadable eyes. “What is it, son?”I didn’t sit. Couldn’t. My body was buzzing, clenched with anger I couldn’t contain.“I saw her.”His brow lifted slightly.“Selena,” I clarified, heart thudding hard against my ribs. “She’s alive.”I searched his face for shock. Denial. Anything. But he just stared at me stoic, almost too composed.“You knew,” I said slowly, my voice laced with growing fury. “Didn’t you?”His silence made the air feel colder.“When I came back
