Riley’s POV

He was a guy I’d never seen before—tall, handsome, and clearly a warrior just by looking at his build. He wasn’t as bulky as Ezra, but he had that solid, alpha male energy all the same.

I didn’t know him. Why would he help me out?

When he caught me frowning at him, he flashed a grin, showing off perfect white teeth. “Nice to meet you, Riley Monroe. If you’re down, we’re teammates now.”

“Well, you’re very lucky, Riley,” Mr. Smith said, looking just as surprised as I was. “Kade Steele is one of our top senior warriors. Great grades. Advanced skills. You’re basically safe if you’re in his team.”

Really? Why would someone like him choose to team up with me?

“So, what do you say?” Kade nudged.

“Let’s talk after class. We need to go over some details first,” I replied cautiously.

“Well, of course. Happy to work with you.” He gave me another sunny smile and sat down.

I slowly turned around and caught Ezra still staring at me. That cocky, chill look he always had was gone. Now he

  • Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother   Chapter 25: Fucking Crazy

    Riley’s POVI glared at him, furious. That shameless jerk!“Riley, your lips... what happened?” Odin asked, hesitating.“Nothing!” I said quickly.“You sure?” Ezra drawled, giving me a smug smile. “Because I know what happened last night. And I know who that guy was. You can’t lie about this, little sis.”“You know?!” Layla gasped.“Of course. We live under the same roof. Not that I’m thrilled about it either.” He shrugged.“Spill it, come on!” Layla said, bouncing with excitement. “I bet it’s someone totally embarrassing.”“Maybe the school janitor. Or one of the servants. Someone odd and disgusting!” Camila added.Ezra turned to me with a smirk. “Want me to tell them?”I saw the threat in his eyes. Those gorgeous green eyes—I swear, sometimes I just want to poke them out. “What will it take for you to keep your mouth shut?!” I hissed under my breath.“You already know what I want, Riley. I literally just told you.”I took a deep breath, fists clenched so hard my nails dug into my pa

  • Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother   Chapter 24: Who Made Out With You?

    Riley’s POV“What are they talking about?” Odin asked with a frown, clearly confused.I grabbed his wrist and started walking toward the door. “Let’s just go.”Camila burst out laughing behind me. “Yeah, run away. It’s not like you can afford anything in here anyway.”“Riley?” Odin asked again. “What’s going on?”I stopped and took a deep breath. “Okay… I asked the staff for the cheapest stuff they had. Because everything here is crazy expensive and… I don’t have that kind of money.”His eyes widened a bit, clearly surprised.That usual wave of shame hit me for a split second.But just as quickly, I shoved it down.Why should I be embarrassed for not having money? Not everyone was born with a silver spoon. I had a loving mom and a childhood full of warmth. That was more than enough.I steadied myself and met his gaze. “You know where I’m from. My family lived paycheck to paycheck. I’m just a small-town girl. I was poor… I still am.”His expression softened instantly. “Of course I know

  • Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother   Chapter 23: No Lycan Wants You

    Riley’s POVI shouldn’t feel guilty or scared.But Ezra’s gaze still sent shivers down my spine.King Soren, on the other hand, looked totally pleased. “Oh really? So this boy—he’s a student at Royal Academy too?”“Uh, yeah.” I swallowed hard, trying to change the subject as fast as I could. “But it’s not a big deal or anything. We’re just going to hang out, maybe go for a run…”But of course, they weren’t going to let it go that easily.“What’s his name?” my mom asked, eyes gleaming with curiosity.“He’s a Lycan, isn’t he?” King Soren added.“His name is Odin. And no, he’s not a Lycan. He’s a werewolf. Actually, we’ve known each other since we were kids. He’s the Alpha’s son from a neighboring pack.”My mom giggled like she was thirteen. King Soren frowned.“So just a werewolf, huh?” His voice turned low and serious. “When you start dating officially, I’d expect your partner to at least be a Lycan. And from a respectable bloodline.”I rolled my eyes internally. Since when did he get

  • Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother   Chapter 22: Riley Has A Boyfriend!

    Riley’s POVI glared at him. “You’re impossible. Do you want me kicked out of school or not? Because honestly, I can’t figure out what the hell you’re thinking anymore.”He didn’t say a word. Just gave me one last icy look before turning and walking away. Danica stomped after him.“So? What’s going on? Who are you teaming with?” Ms. Bright asked, brows pulled tight.I let out a long breath. “Odin. I’m teaming with Odin.”Ms. Bright updated her list, then shooed us back into line as she continued calling out the rest of the teams.As we walked back, I could feel the stares—judgy, mocking, even disgusted.They probably thought we were a bunch of morons. Picking a fight with the Lycan King’s heir before the Hunting Season even began.“This is just perfect. We’re screwed before the competition even starts,” Olivia muttered under her breath. “And it’s all her fault.”“Cut it out, Olivia,” Odin said.“No, I’m not gonna shut up. We should’ve never agreed to this. She’s just gonna drag us dow

  • Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother   Chapter 21: I'll Destroy Your Crush

    Riley’s POVWhat?I could barely believe what I just heard.Ms. Bright just said I was in Ezra’s team?But that couldn’t be right. Something’s wrong!For a second, the entire field was completely silent. Then chaos erupted. Everyone started whispering to each other, some girls even screamed. Everyone standing before me turned their heads around, staring at me.“No, that’s not possible,” I blurted out. “There has to be a mistake...”“No. Freaking. Way!”A voice, much shriller than mine, shot out from the front.A gorgeous blonde girl stormed out of her line and headed straight for the stage.I recognized her instantly. She was the one hooking up with Ezra that first day in the West Wing dorm. His rumored girlfriend, Danica.“There must be a mistake!” Danica screeched. “I’m Ezra’s healer. No way he’d team up with that little bitch!”Ms. Bright remained expressionless. “I know this is hard to believe. But Riley Monroe’s name is right here on my list. Someone on your team must have submit

  • Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother   Chapter 20: Ezra's Team

    Riley’s POVI was in a great mood when I left the clinic.Odin and Olivia’s surgeries were perfect. Olivia woke up still acting like a diva, complaining all about the disinfectant smell in the surgery room, whining that the painkillers weren’t strong enough—basically just continuing to be a pain in the ass. But nothing she said could ruin my mood.Right before they left, Odin looked down at me with those beautiful blue eyes of his.“Promise me I’ll see you again,” he said softly.Olivia let out an annoyed tsk not far behind us. I smiled. “We’ll see. Just try not to break the leg I just fixed. Be careful.”And—see you tomorrow at school. I added in my head as they left.Finally, today I had solved the most stressful problem hanging over me lately. Even the way I walked home felt lighter.Once I got back to the castle and locked myself in my room, I grabbed my phone and texted Roy the good news:[Hey, we don’t have to worry about teaming up anymore. I took care of it.]I waited for 5 mi
