All Chapters of Mated to my Stepfather, claimed by my Stepbrother: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Aria’s POVThe afternoon sun filtered through the tall trees surrounding the training ground, casting long, trembling shadows on the earth beneath my feet. The air was crisp, tinged with the faint scent of pine and sweat, a reminder that this was a place of both strength and vulnerability.I stood near the edge of the sparring area, my heart pounding louder than the rhythmic thuds of fists hitting pads. The moment felt surreal, Kael had just kissed me. A brief, stolen kiss that still sent warmth flooding through every inch of my body. But it was far from the simple, innocent connection I wanted it to be.He was my mate. The father of my unborn pup. But Alpha Lucien, my stepfather, the man who had claimed me as his own, had just seen us. The kiss. The undeniable spark between Kael and me.A shiver ran through every corner of my body, but it wasn’t from the chill in the air. It was the weight of what that moment meant.“Go to your apartment,” Kael’s voice was low, rough with urgency, as

Kael’s POVWe didn’t stop to pack. We didn’t wait for permission. We just walked, and Aria and I are out of the place that once meant everything, now reduced to nothing but control, lies, and pain.“Kael,” she called softly behind me.I didn’t respond. My hand gripped hers tightly as we descended the front steps of her apartment. The afternoon sun burned down with a strange vengeance, as though the heavens were mourning what we were leaving behind.We walked in silence.Our footsteps echoed on the stone pathway. Heads turned. Warriors paused in their training. Omegas stood still with baskets mid-air. The entire pack seemed to hold its breath as we passed.“Isn’t that Luna Aria?”“What’s she doing with Alpha Lucien’s son?”“Are they… holding hands?”“Why are they leaving? Did they get exiled?”The whispers followed us like a tide, and I hated every second of it. But I didn’t let go of her hand. I wouldn’t. Not again.I didn’t care if they stared. I didn’t care if they questioned. I jus

Aria’s POVThe man stepped out from the trees. “Have you seen me before?” he asked Kael calmly, standing just a few feet from us.My heart started beating fast. Behind us, more rogue wolves began to appear one by one. They surrounded us. The man speaking was clearly their leader.Kael didn’t move. He stood tall, facing the man.“No,” Kael said. “But I heard your voice the day I was kidnapped. You told me to sign a book.”The man smiled slowly. “Yes. That was me. You remember.”His voice was deep and cold, like someone used to giving commands.“I told you to sign the book, and maybe if you had, you wouldn’t be in this mess.”Kael’s eyes narrowed. “Mess?” he repeated. “I don’t think I’m in a mess.”I admired how brave he sounded, but I could feel my body shaking. I tried to stand tall beside him, but fear crawled up my spine. I was already sweating, is it sweating or I had already peed in my body. The man took a few steps closer. “Do you want to die?”Without thinking, Kael reached bac

Aria’s POV“Aria, you’re not alone,” Kael said again, his voice low and warm. “You waited for me to regain my memory, even you didn’t allow my father to touch you at all, when I was away.”His words wrapped around me like a blanket. But it still hurt. Tears rolled slowly down my cheeks. Everything had happened so fast. One moment we were being kicked out of the pack, the next moment we were running through the woods and fighting rogue wolves. Now… now they say some kind of dark magic has taken my sight.Just like that.Gone?“I can’t believe this is happening,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “How can I fight like this? How will I even live like this?”I tried to stand up, but Kael was already in front of me, gently stopping me with his hand on my waist.“Don’t force it, Aria,” he said softly. “Just rest. Let your body heal. I’ll help you.”He guided me back down onto the soft blankets. Then, he leaned forward and pressed a warm kiss to my forehead.“I’ll get you water. Food. Whatever

Alpha Lucien’s POV“Aria, you think you can go?” I said, my voice low as I looked straight into her eyes.Even though she couldn’t see me, I knew she could feel me. But she could Feel my presence. My hold on her.She trembled.Her wolf, Freya, was strong, yes, but she was still young, still learning. She had no idea what she carried inside her. She had no idea what she truly was.“You think this is over,” I said, stepping closer. “You think that boy, Kael can protect you from me.”She stood there, weak, confused… blind.But I saw her glow.I felt her power. It hummed beneath her skin like a secret she was yet to uncover.“I’m not afraid of you,” she whispered, her voice trembling even though she tried to sound brave.I smiled coldly. “You should be.”“You had your chance. Kael found me. I belong with him.”I laughed then. Not loud. Just enough for her to feel it in the air.“You belong where your blood calls,” I said. “And your blood… flows with mine.”I raised my hand and pressed it
