Mia's POV

I drifted back to consciousness slowly, like swimming up from deep water. The first thing I registered was the softness beneath me and a scent I knew intimately—cedarwood and mint. My eyes flew open as my heart skipped painfully.

This is my old room. Our room. How did I get here?

Confusion flooded through me as I took in the familiar surroundings—the pale blue walls, my favorite quilt folded at the foot of the bed, my dog-eared books still lined up on the shelf. Nothing had changed, yet everything had.

Did they bring me back here? Why would they do that after everything that happened?

My hand moved instinctively to my stomach, fingers spreading protectively over the tiny life growing within me. The memories of what happened before I passed out came rushing back—the cruel laughter, the humiliation, the feeling of my knees against the hard floor as they forced me to crawl.

My baby felt that. All that stress, that fear. I should have been stronger.

I sat up carefully, wincing a

  • STEPBROTHER'S PUNISHES ME EVERYNIGHT   Chapter 251

    Mia's POVMy mind was racing as I tried to process what the masked figure was telling me. If his organization wasn't responsible for the attacks that had been terrorizing packs across the region, then who was? And more importantly, why was I starting to believe him?"Wait," I said, holding up a hand even though I was still tied to the chair. "Let me understand this correctly. You're saying you're not the secret rogue organization that everyone's been talking about?""That's correct," he replied, his voice still distorted by whatever device he was using. "I don't have a rogue organization at all.""Then what do you have?""A pack. A very large, very powerful pack that the rest of the werewolf world has chosen to shun and fear."A pack? This was getting stranger by the minute."So you're not some shadowy criminal organization," I said slowly. "You're just... an alpha who wants recognition?""Recognition, respect, a place in the world for my people," he confirmed. "When the other packs

  • STEPBROTHER'S PUNISHES ME EVERYNIGHT   CHAPTER 250

    Mia's POVThe masked figure in front of me was deliberately masking his scent, and there was something artificial about his voice - like he was using some kind of device to disguise it. But even with all those precautions, there was something maddeningly familiar about his presence.I know you, I thought, studying every detail I could make out. But who are you?His aura was overwhelmingly dominant, the kind of raw alpha power that made most wolves instinctively submit. But I wasn't most wolves, and I'd be damned if I was going to cower before this coward."Well, well," I said, lifting my chin defiantly despite being tied to a chair. "The big bad leader finally shows his face. Or should I say, finally shows his mask?"He chuckled, a sound that grated against my nerves. "I do love that fire in you, Mia. It's one of the many things that makes you so... special.""Special enough to kidnap, apparently," I shot back. "You know, for someone who supposedly runs a powerful organization, you're

  • STEPBROTHER'S PUNISHES ME EVERYNIGHT   Chapter 249

    Mia's POVLiam's question hung in the air between us, and I could see something calculating behind his concerned expression. My instincts were screaming at me to lie, to make up some excuse and get away from him as quickly as possible.But another part of me - the part that was tired of all the deception and games - wanted to just tell him the truth and see how he reacted.Maybe if I'm honest with him, I'll finally know for sure whether my suspicions are justified."I'm applying for a transfer," I said, watching his face carefully. "Back to my home pack."Liam's mask of concern slipped for just a moment, and I caught a flash of something dark in his eyes before he composed himself again."A transfer? Why?" he asked, his voice still gentle but with an underlying tension I'd never noticed before."I've decided to move my children back home," I continued, my heart pounding as I spoke. "They left last night with Daisy. I'll be joining them in two days."The silence that followed was deaf

  • STEPBROTHER'S PUNISHES ME EVERYNIGHT   CHAPTER 248

    Mia's POVMy ears were still ringing from the explosion as Xavier and I slowly got to our feet. The acrid smell of smoke and burning gasoline filled the air, and I could feel small cuts on my arms from the flying debris."Are you hurt?" Xavier asked urgently, his hands running over my face and arms, checking for injuries."I'm fine," I said, though my voice was shaking. "The kids-"We both turned toward his car, relief flooding through me when I saw Marcus, Mira, and Miraz pressed against the back window, their faces pale but unharmed.They could have been killed. We all could have been killed."This is insane," I breathed, staring at the inferno that had been a gas station just moments before. "These people... they're willing to kill innocent people just to get to me."Xavier's jaw was clenched so tight I could see the muscle twitching. "Mia, you can't go back to your apartment. It's not safe anymore. Come stay with us until-""No," I interrupted, my mind made up. "I'm taking my chi

  • STEPBROTHER'S PUNISHES ME EVERYNIGHT   CHAPTER 247

    Mia's POVThe weight of everything that had happened was crushing down on me. My children were clinging to my legs, still shaken from being chased by masked strangers, and I felt like I was drowning in confusion and fear.This has to be connected to that organization, I thought, my mind racing. The same one that killed their father. The same one that's been terrorizing packs."Xavier," I said, looking up at him with determination I didn't really feel. "I need to go home. Not to the apartment - home home. To my father's pack."His eyebrows shot up. "Mia, that's-""It's the only place my children will be truly safe," I interrupted. "My brother is there, my father. They have the resources to protect us properly."I could see the reluctance in his dark eyes, but also understanding. He knew as well as I did that whatever was happening was escalating fast."Thank you," I said quietly, surprising myself with the sincerity in my voice. "For being here when I needed you, even if you were foll

    Mia's POV"Run!" someone shouted from behind me. "Run now!"I didn't need to be told twice. Dropping the grocery bags, I grabbed Mira and Marcus's hands while scooping up Miraz with my other arm."Mommy, what's happening?" Mira cried, her little legs struggling to keep up with my frantic pace."Just run, baby," I panted, my heart hammering against my ribs. "We need to get somewhere safe right now."Behind us, I could hear heavy footsteps getting closer. The sound of boots on concrete echoed through the shopping district, and I knew without looking back that those masked men were still following us.This can't be happening. This can't be real.We darted between shoppers, weaving through the crowded sidewalk as I searched desperately for somewhere to hide. The children were crying now, scared and confused, and I felt like the worst mother in the world for putting them in this situation.How did everything go so wrong so fast?I spotted the entrance to the large shopping mall ahead and m
