Semua Bab Mated to my Stepfather, claimed by my Stepbrother: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Aria’s POVIt has been weeks since I found out I was pregnant. The days have blurred together, each one more suffocating than the last. I sat on my bed, staring blankly out the window. The cold light of the evening sun barely reached through the curtains, but it did nothing to dispel the storm swirling inside me. Guilt, fear, and regret twisted in my gut like a knot I couldn’t untangle.“Now that I’ve conspired with the pack’s doctor to lie that I was raped instead of him telling Alpha Lucien I was pregnant…” I whispered to myself, my hand pressing lightly against my lower belly. “What will happen now?” My breath hitched, and I clutched the test result in my hand, my fingers trembling.The small piece of paper was a death sentence in my hands. It wasn’t just a medical test result; it was the evidence of my betrayal, but its actually not because Kael was my fated mate according to Freya and also what I felt, but this pregnancy is the mark of everything I had tried so hard to hide.Posi

Kael’s POV“Sign this paper,”The familiar man, barked, sharp and angry, followed by a loud thud, and something heavy slammed onto the table.I flinched at the sound. My hands twitched against the coarse rope cutting into my wrists. “If you want me to sign anything, take this damn blindfold off my face,” I snapped.But they didn’t.They never did.I didn’t know how long I’d been here. Maybe three days. Maybe ten. Time had stopped making sense. The rhythm of my life was no longer marked by sunrises or nightfalls, but by the hollow rumble of my stomach and the way my skin grew colder each time the silence stretched too long.The room reeked of damp mold and old blood. The walls whispered with echoes I couldn’t place. Rats scurried across the corners sometimes. My body throbbed from the cold floor, my back sore from being hunched over for so long.The only light I ever saw flickered behind my blindfold when someone opened the door. A pale flame or a torch. It never stayed for long.They f

Gracie’s POV“Kael has been found,” my mother said as she strode into my room, her voice calm but urgent.My heart skipped a beat.I sprang up from the bed, eyes widening. “What? Say that again, Mother.”“He’s been found,” she repeated, now standing in front of me.A slow smile tugged at the corners of my lips. Not a smile of relief, but of opportunity. My heart pounded as jubilation swelled inside me, curling through my veins like warm honey.At last. The chance I’d been waiting for.My mind immediately began to spin. Kael being found meant the door had opened again. I could rope him in, tie him to me. He’d claim the pregnancy, it was inevitable. And if I played it smart… I wouldn’t even have to try too hard. After all, he lost his memory due to the attack I made, now, I would tell him that before, we had sex. “If I set my eyes on Kael today,” I muttered under my breath, careful to keep my voice low, “I’ll make sure we have sex before nightfall.”My mother gave me a sharp look, but

Alpha Lucien’s POV“You mean Beta Alvarick’s son?” I asked again, slower this time, trying to make sense of the impossible.“Yes, Alpha.” The guard didn’t flinch.My jaw clenched. I stood rooted for a moment, letting the weight of the words crash against the walls of my mind. Beta Alvarick’s son? Impossible. Unthinkable. That boy had grown up in this pack. Under my nose. Under my roof. I had held him the day he was born. And he had the guts to kidnap my son? Without another word, I turned sharply and strode out of Aria’s room. Whatever had been on my mind a moment ago, claiming her, finalizing the bond evaporated instantly. There were priorities in leadership, and right now, nothing came above the betrayal simmering in my pack.My footsteps echoed against the stone hallway as I marched toward the council chamber. Each step I took carried the sharp rhythm of boiling anger. Not just at the alleged kidnapper. But at myself, for being blind to this. For letting someone so close to me la

Gracie’s POV“You’re a fucking evil!” I snapped, my voice trembling with rage.Tavin flinched but held my gaze. “Evil?!” he echoed, his face etched with something between guilt and disbelief. “I’m not evil, Gracie.”I laughed bitterly. “You’re not? Then what would you call someone who kidnapped my husband on our wedding day?”Husband!The way I pronounced that word, sent a shiver through my spine not to talk of others who were with me. I already projected what was going through my mother and brother's mind.“Is she serious?”“Is she falling in love?”Tavin sat, calm but with stormy eyes. “I did it because of you. You ingrate.”My fists clenched at my sides. “Because of me?” I hissed. “You’ve always been delusional, but this… this is beyond me, Tavin. You didn’t just ruin my life. You humiliated our entire family!”He looked down, jaw tightening. “You don’t understand.”“No, I don’t!” I shouted. “Make it make sense, Tavin!”The fury inside me threatened to spill over. If not for the re
