Mated With My Stepbrother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Ivy’s POV“You first,” Sean said to me after Ezra walked into the apartment.I didn’t move. “No, go ahead.”He said nothing but didn’t move either, just looking at me.Fine.I walked past him, and he brushed his hand against mine. I pulled my arm from his reach and quickened my steps as I entered the house, not daring to look at him.“Ivy is using the guest room,” Ezra told him, “so you’ll share my room. I’ll show you.”The two of them headed towards Ezra’s bedroom, and I took the chance to disappear into my room. As soon as I shut the door behind me, I freaked out.There was no question as to why Sean showed up here with no warning. He didn’t need to crash at anyone’s place. He could live in a hotel penthouse if he wanted. He was here because he didn’t like that I was staying with Ezra instead of him.And I doubted his place actually caught fire. I knew him enough now to know that pretending it had so he could come here was not beyond him. He was crazy like that.I changed into a pai

Ivy’s POVAs soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, events from last night flashed through my mind. Then, I became aware of the soreness scattered all around my body.My face flushed as I remembered how many times Sean and I had sex. I don’t even remember when I finally fell asleep.Looking to my side, I saw that Sean had already left the room. I felt disappointed, which was a little silly. Of course he was gone. Did I want Ezra to find out we’d spent the night together?I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. My eyes widened at the sight of the dark marks on my neck.“Shit!” I mumbled as I took a closer look. The dark marks were riddled all over my neck, shoulders, and chest. It was all Sean’s work. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of stopping him. Knowing him, he had done this on purpose.After showering, I put on a long-sleeved turtle-neck covering my neck and arms. After making sure that all the suspicious marks were hidden, I left my room.Ezra was alone in the kitchen, s

Ivy’s POVI let Ezra pull me out of the Dean’s office and down the hallway.“You need to calm down,” he said, taking a look at my face. I bet I looked like a person ready to go into battle.And calm down? Fat chance. My hands were itching to slap that bitch again.“You can’t keep getting in trouble like this,” Ezra continued.“They attacked me,” I reminded him. “What was I supposed to do? Let them harass me however they want?”“That’s not what I mean,” he said.“Then what do you mean?” I asked sharply.“Hey, I’m on your side,” he told me.I sighed. “I know. Sorry, I just….I’ve just had enough. I was already having a bad day, and then she came to me with her bullshit. I snapped.”Ezra gave me a concerned look. “You were having a bad day? Are you still feeling unwell?”“No, it’s not that,” I said, avoiding his gaze.“You know you can tell me everything, right?” he asked.I nodded, but could I? What about him? Why didn’t he tell me about his fiancee? Or did he think it wasn’t my place to

Ezra’s POVI requested leave after the day’s classes. It was time to go back to my pack and set things straight. I’d used this job as an excuse to escape my life at the pack.But as long as things remained as they were, I was only hiding, not ending the problem. Now, more than ever, I was clear about what I had to do—what I wanted to do. And it was all because of her. Ivy.I hadn’t expected to have such strong feelings towards her after so many years. But as soon as I saw her, it was like I was transported back in time.I wanted to care for her and protect her, just like I had once before. Being with her reminded me of what I was missing. I could no longer accept a mate based on my pack’s arrangement. I wanted a mate I loved.I wanted to be with someone I could devote myself to. Not someone who made me sick every time I saw her. I’d let them steer my life in their own direction for long enough. Now, it was time to take back control.It had all started when I was sixteen. My life was u

Ivy’s POVAfter spending the night at Sean’s, I woke up to a sinking realisation–I had to go to school, but I had no change of clothes.My eyes darted to the bag I had brought with me. It only contained the gym shorts and sports bra I’d carried for yesterday’s training class. I groaned inwardly. Just perfect.Sean noticed my expression as I hesitated in the middle of his bedroom after getting out of the bathroom. “What’s wrong?”I crossed my arms. “I don’t have anything to wear. Unless you count a sports bra and gym shorts.”“I’m sure we can find something.” He turned to his closet, pulling the doors open and revealing an array of men’s clothing. All of them looked at least three sizes too large for me.I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. “Sean, your clothes are too big for me.”He rummaged for a moment, then pulled out a pair of grey sweatpants. “These have a drawstring. They’ll stay up. Just fold the legs back.”I held back a sigh as I took them. The fabric was soft and smelled faintly
