NICHOLAS' POV

The smile she was giving me, it was like a balm over an open wound. Soothing. Relieving.

And damned if it wasn't doing things to me.

For a long moment, I just stood there staring up at Anastasia's face, that delicate curve of her lips, those emerald green eyes that seemed to see straight through every wall I’d built.

She believed in me. Even after everything that had happened, after the mockery, after her sister's words… she still looked at me like I could take on the world and win.

She didn’t know half of it.

The whole hall probably thought I was done for. That Grey’s army of warriors and our father’s endless wealth gave him the upper hand.

And, sure, the Bloodhound pack was larger, but that’s all they had—numbers. Numbers didn’t mean a damn thing if the soldiers were averagely skilled.

My men weren’t many, but every single one of them had been expertly trained in combat and precision. Ten of them could wipe out fifty of Grey’s without breaking a sweat.

  • REBORN: CLAIMED BY MY MATE’S BROTHER   CHAPTER 94

    Anastasia’s POVThe crackle of the wood burning in the fire place was the only sound echoing in the room as I stood by the window with a racing heart and a wet palm, watching the dark night settle across the forest like a heavy blanket.It was unbelievable that this pack that was once always filled with noises, joy and a serene atmosphere can feel this weird, cold and quiet because of an attack. Smoke rose from distant trees.All that was left to remind us about the attack were dead wolves, the injured ones who we are not sure survived, the burnt forest and everything that has gone to rack and ruin.No one deserves everything that happened in this pack. It was just too much and cruel, what on earth could we have done to deserve this attack? Is it our fault that we are wolves? How can they be so cruel to us?Nicholas might have been able to ease my mind off the matter with that mind blowing orgasm but I can’t stop thinking about the attack.I snapped out of my thoughts and turned when

  • REBORN: CLAIMED BY MY MATE’S BROTHER   CHAPTER 93

    AMELIA'S POV The door creaked open as I stepped into the room. The curtains are down and the room is dark but I can sense him. My wolf jumped happily. A delicious sensation crawled up my spine and the hair on my neck bristled. Mate. The word is not spoken out but I can feel the it in the way my veins heat up and my knees buckle. I tightened my grip against the door handle and exhaled. My head snapped to the bathroom. He had to be in there. I staggered forward as if being held by a leash. My wolf moved restless beyond my control. Pacing, whining, scratching and aching to be acknowledged. I had never felt like this before, only heard it. The madness of finding a new mate. The overwhelming desire to claim and be claimed. To sink teeth and mate. I straightened my spine and inhaled. “I’m here.” Silence greeted me and then the shower stopped running. I heard him clear his throat and pull his towel off the rack. I scan across the room. There was nothing suspicious. No documents or

  • REBORN: CLAIMED BY MY MATE’S BROTHER   CHAPTER 92

    ANASTASIA'S POV I stepped out of the car and barely had time to take in the familiar sight of Stormborn Manor before— “Ana! Clara!” Arissa came flying out of the front doors like a missile, her voice bright and breathless. She swerved past Nicholas without slowing and crashed straight into me. “Oof!” I laughed on impact, stumbling back a step before steadying myself. I wrapped my arms around her just as tightly, my chest filling with warmth. “I missed you so much,” she said, her voice thick with emotion as she tucked her head against my shoulder—the exact way I’d clung to her mother earlier. My heart squeezed. I stroked her soft brown hair, fingers sliding through the silky strands. “I missed you too,” I said, and I meant it with everything in me. I hadn’t realised just how much until this moment. “Now, now,” Nicholas cut in gently, prying Arissa loose despite her protest. “Ana needs to rest. It’s been a long day.” She immediately pouted. “You always say that. This is one of th

  • REBORN: CLAIMED BY MY MATE’S BROTHER   CHAPTER 91

    ANASTASIA'S POV I walked out of the council building and straight into a surprise that made my steps falter. Nicholas was there. Not alone, but standing beside a sleek black SUV with Lucas, Clara, and some Stormborn warriors I recognised almost immediately. I didn’t realize this through all my stay in Bloodhound but I’ve missed them. A little part of me clenched tightly as I watched them, doing their little thing. They were relaxed and laughing together but alert. Parked in front of the SUV was the smaller car Nicholas and I had driven here earlier this morning. And beside the SUV, seated in a wheelchair with warmth radiating around her, was Nicholas’ mother. Mum. The word surfaced naturally in my mind, just like she’d asked the first and only time we met. No hesitation. No awkwardness. Just… mum. They were technically alone, yet the air felt thick, charged. Like something monumental had happened moments before I arrived. The scent of tension still clung to the space, sharp

  • REBORN: CLAIMED BY MY MATE’S BROTHER   CHAPTER 90

    NICHOLAS' POV “I warned you, boy. Don’t play games with me,” my father growled, his blue eyes narrowing, voice low and dangerous.I squared my shoulders and didn’t flinch. “We’ve been playing games since the very beginning,” I shot back, my tone calm but lethal, every word deliberate.“You little—” He started, rage flashing across his features, and I braced for his usual tirade, the venom he spat like poison.Then a voice cut through the tension like a blade. Sharp, commanding, impossibly controlled.“Watch it,” my mother said. Her tone dripped with authority and fury, leaving no room for argument. “I will not have you insult my son in front of me.”I glanced back at her briefly, taking in her presence. Beautiful, still, despite the years. Aging gracefully, her sharp cheekbones and high forehead only accentuated by the stern line of her mouth. Her grey eyes the same as mine blazed with a fire that demanded respect, and her brown hair was pulled back into a severe, slick bun, emphasi

  • REBORN: CLAIMED BY MY MATE’S BROTHER   CHAPTER 89

    NICHOLAS' POV Since Anastasia was with her mother and sister, I took the liberty of bringing the car around myself.I told myself I was just trying to save time but the truth was I needed to give her all the space she needed to confront her mother and Amelia without me hovering.Else, I'd be doing something stupid like inserting myself and stealing her stage. It wasn't that I didn't trust her not to handle her heartless mother or demon of a sister, I did. I just loved her too much not to worry about her. Or maybe it was because I was practically irrational over everything that concerned her. I needed space for myself as well. Space to prepare for what I knew was coming next. The mate bond issue might have been done and over with but the game wasn't over just yet.I stood near the curb, hands clasped behind my back, watching the driveway and the fields beyond with a stillness that didn’t reflect the sharp calculations running through my head. That was when my phone vibrated in my po
