All Chapters of Mated With My Stepbrother: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Ivy’s POVEzra was Sean’s cousin. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that coincidence. I mean…I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been a tiny bit disappointed when Sean showed up at the gym earlier.I know that makes me sound shitty but I really wanted to reconnect with Ezra, and I felt like Sean would get in the way of that.Since we left campus and headed to the restaurant, my stomach filled with butterflies every time I looked at Ezra. It was the kind of feeling I got when I was around someone I had a crush on. It could be memories from the past flooding my brain, but it felt like more.I hadn’t felt like that around anyone in a long while. Sure, I was attracted to Sean. But with Sean, it was the mate bond between us that drove my emotions crazy.With Ezra, that wasn’t the case. There was no bond between us, and yet it felt like I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I wanted to talk to him through the ev

Ivy’s POV“What are you doing here?” Sam asked him.“We just had dinner,” he answered.“I saw you on campus today, but I lost sight before I could catch up,” she said. She swept her hair over one shoulder and tilted her head, exposing her slender neck. “You disappeared on me that night.”Her voice was pouty, whiny. It took a lot of restraint to not roll my eyes straight at them.“Sorry about that,” Sean apologised. “I had something urgent to attend to.”“It’s fine,” she said, touching his arm. “But you should make it up to me. I waited for you, you know.”What was she doing? She knew what happened between me and Sean that night. She didn't know that we were mates, but she knew we had spent the night together. And yet, she wasn’t toning down her flirting in front of me.Seriously, what a bitch.“We shoul

Ivy’s POVI stopped short and backed up, hiding behind a bookshelf. Standing still, I peered through a gap in the row of books.Yeah, it was them again.Samantha and Sean.Recently, they had been hanging out together. A lot. Samantha had gone from following me around like a shadow to doing the same with Sean.But while I’d been suspicious of her behaviour, Sean didn’t seem to mind it at all. Like right now. Samantha was leaning into him, whispering something into his ear. Sean laughed out loud, and she pressed her hand to his mouth to keep him quiet. He did not push her away.I swallowed bitterly.They were everywhere I went. The library, the cafeteria, the gym… Each time I saw one of them, the other was right there, as if they were glued together.I knew it wasn’t a coincidence that they always seemed to be everywhere I went. Sam knew my schedule and routine like the back of her hand. Now that I

Ivy’s POVI got kicked out of the dorm. Sam told Demi, who made it a big case with the administration. Since she was the daughter of the Twilight Pack Beta, they did not bother investigating and did as she wanted. I packed my stuff while they watched me, taking their taunting silently.I did not engage them or respond to their threats about getting me kicked out of school eventually. The last thing I wanted was for Ken to be involved. That would expose my identity to everyone, and I wasn’t ready for that to happen.I left the dorm with my luggage and wandered around campus, ruminating over my options. I hadn’t called Mom yet. I didn’t dare tell her what had happened. What excuse would I make? I always did my best to stay out of trouble.Now, look. I was not even one semester into college and I was already receiving disciplinary action. The worst case that could happen was her and Ken investigating the issue and finding out what the fight had been about. So, I could not let them know a

Ivy’s POV“You seem happier today,” Ezra noted at the end of our training session.“What do you mean?” I asked before taking a sip of my water.“You keep smiling, and you haven’t lost focus at all during class.” He wiggled his brow. “Tell me, what’s the secret?”I chuckled.He was right. I’d been feeling much better since this morning. The cause? Sean said that he wasn’t actually dating Samantha. Hearing that, it felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off my heart.Our relationship wasn’t fixed, and like I told him, I was tired of his bullshit. This was the same game he played with Catherine, and it was getting old. Because of his antics, I now had a disciplinary record at school and had been kicked out of the dorm. Who else would he pretend to date next?“Maybe it’s the good sleep I got last night,” I told Ezra cheekily. “Probably also the delicious breakfast I woke up to.”He smiled. “Is that so?”I nodded.“You should keep it up, then. I like seeing you happy. You’re getting bett
