All Chapters of STEPBROTHER'S PUNISHES ME EVERYNIGHT: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Mia's POVI 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

Mia's POVThe door creaked open as Daisy returned, juggling a tray of soup and fruit, nudging the door closed with her hip. Her smile vanished the moment she saw me sitting bolt upright in bed, clutching my phone like it might bite me.They found me. After everything, they still won't let me go."What happened?" Daisy rushed to my side, nearly spilling the soup in her hurry.My fingers trembled so badly I could barely hold out the phone. "He called. Xavier. Just now."His name on my screen felt like an invasion. Like he was already here, in this room.Daisy glanced at the screen, then gently pried the phone from my white-knuckled grip and set it face-down on the nightstand. "Hey, it's okay. You didn't answer. You turned it off. That's all that matters.""What if they tracked it?" The words came out in a panicked whisper as my mind raced through worst-case scenarios. "What if they find out where I am?"I can't run again. Not like this. Not while I'm still bleeding."They won't," she sa

Nathan's POV"We should've told her."The words spilled from my lips before I could catch them—a confession that had been festering inside me for days. My chest felt hollow after saying it out loud, like lancing a wound. Why did we think this would work? She's our mate—the ONE mate for all four of us, and we drove her away.It was second time we have pushed her, and hurt her. How can we face her again with our shameless behaviour? Mates meant a husband, a partner but we proved again that we are nothing but monsters. Sean's eyes met mine, bloodshot and weary. "Yeah. We should have." His voice carried the weight of sleepless nights and regret.I couldn't stay still, my body vibrating with restless energy as I paced across the room. "We played the long game," I muttered, running a hand through my hair. "Tried to keep her safe. But we treated her like shit in the process." And now we're paying for it. I'm paying for it, seeing her face when she looked at me that last time.Xavier exhaled

XAVIER'S POVStanding outside Mia's family home felt like a cruel déjà vu. This place had always symbolized our best memories—and now, our worst nightmares. The last time I stood here, she was still mine—ours. We were happy. How did everything fall apart so fast?Nathan knocked on the door again, harder this time. The tension in his shoulders matched mine exactly. Beside us, Sean paced restlessly while Rolex stared grimly at the ground. The four of us—brothers and mates to one woman—now united in our desperation.The door swung open, but it wasn't Mia's father. It was one of their pack warriors, his face a mask of barely contained hostility."Alpha Xavier," he said, his voice devoid of welcome. "You're not invited here.""We're not leaving until we see Mia's father," Nathan replied firmly, stepping slightly forward. I recognized the stubborn set of his jaw—he wouldn't back down. None of us would."He made it clear—""I don't care what he said," I snapped, stepping forward. My patience

MIA'S POVI stared at him, stunned. "You... You're the guy who... that night..."He gave me a soft smile. "Yeah. You were in rough shape. I wasn't sure if you remembered.""I do," I breathed, my heart racing with the unexpected reconnection. "I've thought about that night more times than I can count. You—You saved my life."The memory of that terrible night flashed through my mind—the rain soaking through my clothes, the panic coursing through my veins as I ran blindly through unfamiliar streets, the crushing weight of betrayal still fresh in my chest.He chuckled, brushing a hand through his dark hair. "I don't know if I'd go that far. But I couldn't just leave you there."I realized I was still holding onto his forearm and quickly stepped back. "Sorry—I didn't mean to bump into you. Again." My cheeks flushed with embarrassment, but something about his calm presence put me at ease in a way I hadn't felt in months."Fate, maybe?" he teased lightly, eyes twinkling.A small smile tugged
