Nate's POV

I could see the war happening in Dora's eyes. Desire fighting with denial. Fear battling with want. Her pupils were blown wide and her breathing was coming too fast. I could smell her arousal sharp and sweet in the air between us and it was driving my wolf absolutely insane. He was clawing at my control. Demanding I claim what was ours.

Her lips parted like she was going to say something. Probably another lie about how this was wrong or how we should not or how she did not want this.

  • Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother   CHAPTER 73

    Nate's POVRichard's threat cut through me like a blade. My father's voice echoed in the halls promising to kill me and every shred of control I had left was shattered. I did not think. Did not plan. I just moved.The shift ripped through me so fast it hurt. Bones cracked and reformed. Fur burst through skin. My wolf took over completely and threw the guards off like they were children. One of them hit the wall hard. Another stumbled back. I did not stop to check if they were okay. Nothing existed except the need to reach Richard and tear his throat out.My paws hit the floor running. Claws scraped marble. The sound of my growl bounced off the walls and made the compound feel smaller. Somewhere behind me I heard Marcus yelling my name. Jake too. They must have been visiting when the attack started. Good. I would need backup because I was about to do something incredibly stupid.

    Theodora's POVThe guards grabbed us before we could react. Their hands were firm on our arms as they pulled us toward the corridor. My heart pounded against my ribs. The alarms kept screaming. The sound drilled into my skull and made thinking impossible. Nate fought against the guard holding him but the man was stronger. Trained for situations exactly like this."Let me go. I need to fight.""Trainees stay in secure locations. Council orders.""I am not just a trainee. I am her mate. I need to protect her."The guard ignored him. Kept dragging us down the hallway toward what I assumed was some kind of safe room. But I pulled back. Dug my heels into the floor. "Wait. I need to see what is happening. I need to know.""Miss Steele, we have protocols.""I do not care about your protocols. Someone just breached Cou

    Nate's POVI stared at the note in my hand and felt something cold settle in my chest. Thomas Steele had been dead for five years. I had been at his funeral. Watched them lower the casket into the ground. Stood beside Dora while she cried until she could not breathe. This made no sense. None of it made any sense."Maybe someone forged it." My voice sounded weak even to my own ears. "Someone who knew his handwriting and wanted to mess with you.""Look at it." Dora took the paper back. Traced her fingers over the words. "Every letter is perfect. The way he crossed his t's. The slight curve on his s's. I have boxes of his old notes at home. This is identical. No one could fake this so perfectly.""Then what are you saying? That he is alive?""I do not know what I am saying." She sat on the edge of the bed. Her hands shook. "But this is his writing. I know it is."

    Theodora's POVThe bond changed over the next few weeks. Deepened in ways that felt impossible. At first, it was just emotions. Nate's anger. His fear. His love. I could sense them like weather patterns. Distant but present. Then it became more. Stronger. I started seeing through his eyes during training. Feeling his muscles burn when Kael pushed him too hard. Tasting the blood in his mouth when he bit his tongue during a particularly brutal sparring match.It was disorienting. Overwhelming. Like living two lives at once. I would be meditating with Elder Moira and suddenly I was in Nate's body. Feeling his fists connect with another wolf's jaw. The impact vibrates up my arms. Then I would blink and be back in myself. Shaking. Confused."You are projecting again." Elder Moira's voice pulled me back to the sanctuary. "I can see your consciousness splitting. Where did you go?""Nate's trai

  • Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother   CHAPTER 69

    Nate's POVThey separated us at dawn. Dora went with Elder Moira. I got assigned to the werewolf specialists. A different building. Different purpose. While she learned to control power I learned to control myself. Or at least that was the theory.My trainer was a wolf named Kael. Scarred face. Missing half an ear. Eyes that had seen too many fights. He looked me over like I was meat he was considering buying. Not impressed with what he saw."Phoenix Pack." He said it like a diagnosis. "Small pack. Limited resources. You have raw power but poor control. Typical.""I have been controlling myself just fine.""Have you? Or have you just been lucky enough not to face real challenges?" He circled me. Assessing. "The mate bond changes everything. Makes you volatile. Unstable. One wrong move and you will get your mate killed trying to protect her.""I

  • Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother   CHAPTER 68

    Theodora's POVI woke up standing by the window. Cold moonlight on my skin. No memory of how I got there. My feet were bare against the hardwood floor. My nightgown twisted around my legs. The world felt distant. Dreamlike. Like I was watching myself from somewhere far away."Dora." Nate's voice pulled me back. Careful. Controlled. The way someone might speak to a spooked animal. "Can you hear me?"I blinked. Turned toward him. He was standing by the bed. His body is tense. Ready to move. "What happened?""You were sleepwalking. Your power was manifesting despite the collar."My hand flew to my throat. The metal felt warm. Wrong. "That is impossible. Draeven said it would contain everything.""Apparently he was wrong. Or you are stronger than he anticipated.""How much power? How bad was it?""Silver ene
