REIGN'S POV

I don't sleep.

I can't.

Instead, I stand at my bedroom window, drinking whiskey straight from the bottle like some pathetic romance novel cliché, watching the light in Sonya's room stay on until three in the morning.

I know she's thinking about Derek. About his confession. About whether six years of pining is worth more than six days of whatever the hell this thing between us is.

And it's driving me absolutely fucking insane.

"You're brooding again," Landon says from my doorway. Be

  • The Dangerous Alpha Stepbrother Wants Me   CHAPTER 44

    SONYA'S POVThe plan is simple, which probably means it's going to go horribly wrong.Reign and I will approach the old packhouse from the main entrance, acting like we're there for a peaceful meeting with Alpha Garrick. Meanwhile, warriors will be positioned at every exit, ready to intervene if things go south.Phoebe will stay with me the entire time, armed with a silver knife and a panic button that will alert Reign if we get separated."What about Derek?" I ask. "Are you going to just leave him in the holding cells?""For now." Reign's expression darkens. "I'll deal with him after we handle my father.""You mean after you decide whether to kill him or just disown him?""Both sound appealing."I can't exactly argue with that.Mrs. Wren appears with coffee and sandwiches, because apparently even during conspiracy planning, we need to eat. I grab a sandwich, suddenly realizing I haven't eaten since yesterday."So," Phoebe says, munching on her own sandwich, "what's this Collector per

  • The Dangerous Alpha Stepbrother Wants Me   CHAPTER 43

    SONYA'S POVReign spends the next few hours turning his estate into a war room.Maps are spread across the dining table. Warriors come and go, reporting on security measures and patrol routes. Landon calls from the hospital, still weak but alive, offering tactical advice that Reign scribbles down like his life depends on it.Which, let's be honest, it probably does.I'm sitting on the couch, watching this unfold, when Phoebe bursts through the door like a hurricane in designer jeans."Okay, what the actual fuck?" She spots me and rushes over. "You get kidnapped, mate-bonded, and nearly killed, and I have to hear about it from pack gossip? We need to have a serious talk about communication, babe.""It's been a busy twelve hours, Phoebe.""Clearly." She plops down beside me, eyeing the chaos around us. "So, you're mated to the scary Alpha now, huh? How's that working out?""Ask me when we're not planning to confront his father about a massive conspiracy.""Fair." She leans closer, lower

  • The Dangerous Alpha Stepbrother Wants Me   CHAPTER 42

    SONYA'S POV"All staged," Derek's smile is bitter. "They worked perfectly. You ran straight to Reign like a good little omega, signed his contract, started getting close to him exactly as planned.""Except Reign and I are true mates." I let that sink in. "You didn't account for that, did you?""No." Derek's knuckles turn white against the bars. “The mate bond wasn't supposed to be real, Sonya. You were supposed to be compatible enough to break the curse, but not... not this. Not true mates.""Must have really screwed up your plans.""You have no idea." He leans his forehead against the bars. "Everything would have worked if I hadn't gotten so distracted and you two hadn't bonded. The curse would have remained unstable, and I would have finally gotten the recognition I deserved.""By stealing power that was never yours to take.""It should have been mine!" Derek slams his palm against the bars, making me flinch. "I'm a Savage too, Sonya! I deserve that power just as much as Reign does!

  • The Dangerous Alpha Stepbrother Wants Me   CHAPTER 41

    SONYA'S POVI find myself standing outside Derek's holding cell before I fully process the decision to come here.Reign is upstairs coordinating with his warriors, planning tonight's confrontation with Alpha Garrick. He thinks I'm resting in our room, processing everything. And I will be, after I get the answers I need.That's why I snuck down here to the holding cells to face the man who spent six years manipulating me.Probably not my smartest decision.But I need this. I need to look Derek in the eye now that I have all the facts, now that I'm not at gunpoint or in survival mode. I need to take back some of the power he stole from me with his lies.The guard at the cell block entrance recognizes me immediately and steps aside without question. Being the Alpha's mate apparently comes with certain privileges."Third cell on the left," he says. "Holler if you need anything."I nod and make my way down the corridor, my footsteps echoing off concrete walls. The holding cells are cleaner

    SONYA'S POV"Anything you need to say, you can say in front of my mate," Reign says immediately, his arm sliding around my waist possessively.Brittany's eyes widen as she hears that. "Your mate? Since when?""Since last night. Long story." I gently ease out of Reign's arms. "What's this about, Brittany?""Derek's been lying to everyone. About everything." She pulls out her phone with shaky hands. "I found this on his laptop. He didn't know I had his password."She shows us a folder full of documents. Plans. Communications with Zane. Financial records showing money changing hands.And photos. Dozens of photos of me. Some from years ago, back in high school. Some recent."He's been obsessed with you since high school," Brittany says, tears streaming down her face. "But not in a romantic way. He kept notes. Plans. Ways to manipulate you. Ways to use your feelings for him."My stomach turns.I can’t believe it goes this deep."Why are you showing me this?""Because I'm pregnant." Brittan

  • The Dangerous Alpha Stepbrother Wants Me   CHAPTER 39

    SONYA'S POVI should tell him to stop. Should maintain some distance while we figure out this forced mate bond situation.But I don't want distance.I want him. I want to feel something other than the crushing betrayal Derek left behind. Want to remember what it's like to be desired by someone who actually sees me."Don't stop," I breathe.He captures my mouth in a searing kiss, his hand sliding between my thighs. But instead of touching me where I need him most, he traces lazy patterns on my inner thighs, deliberately avoiding my aching core."Reign," I whimper against his lips. "Please...""Please what?" His fingers dance closer, then retreat again. "Use your words, little omega.""Touch me. I need you to touch me.""Where?" He's torturing me now, his fingers stroking everywhere except where I'm desperate for him. "Here?" He brushes my outer lips through the growing wetness, making me buck against his hand."Yes, fuck, yes...""So impatient." But his fingers finally slide through my
