All Chapters of Mated With My Stepbrother: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Sean’s POVMy opponent was good, but I won in the end. He had power, I gave him that. He was built like a mountain and his punches felt like bricks slamming into my ribs. His right hook wasn’t bad either. But against my speed, instincts, and calculated hits, his strength was nothing lethal.Now, he was sprawled on the floor groaning in pain while the referee raised my arm in victory. The arena roared to life as the crowd got to their feet, chanting, “Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!”I was suddenly in the air as the team from my boxing club lifted me above their shoulders. In the midst of all the noise and clamour, my eyes searched for Ivy.I’d wanted to win this for her, and I'd done just that. I’d won a lot of times, but it felt special to win in front of her.The crowd was going wild, but I finally found her. She stood still with her hands clasped together, her eyes trained on the ring. I grinned and blew her a kiss. My grin faltered when I realised she wasn’t cheering like everyone around her

Sean’s POVThe shower soothed the pains scattered around my body and freshened me up, but I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I wanted to make up for all the time we’d lost so far.I wanted to spend as much time I could with Ivy, spoiling her and making her feel like the luckiest woman on earth. There was so much I’d wanted to do for her since we met but couldn’t. Now, I could. Finally, we were a couple.When I woke up in the morning, I’d been afraid that she’d find an excuse to take back her decision to date officially. But I’d woken up to her looking at me with a soft smile on her lips, her beautiful face blessing my heart. Then when she took me to her favourite bookstore and excitedly told me about the stories that she enjoyed, I felt reassured.Ivy wanted this, and I wanted it too. I just had to make sure that I didn’t do anything stupid that might make her change her mind.I walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, eager to find her and continue what we’d started on

Ezra’s POV“This is absurd!” The elder banged his fist on the table and stood from his seat. His angry eyes fixated on me. “You cannot make such a decision by yourself. This concerns the future of the entire pack. We cannot allow this!”“We all agree with Mr Jenkins,” another elder seconded. “You are the future Alpha of this pack. You must put the pack before your own selfish interests. It’s ridiculous that we are talking about this. You’re marrying Miss Acker. This is according to the prophecy. We cannot get in the way of fate.”My parents had found it necessary to call a council meeting when I made it clear that I wanted to break the engagement. It was not going to change anything, but they could try.“The Acker family is very beneficial for our pack. With their connections, our pack will be prosperous. This marriage must go on,” another council member asserted.“My marriage is my personal matter,” I stated, “and this wedding is not happening.”“Personal?” my father exploded. “Is th

Sean’s POVWhen Ivy told me that Ezra came back with his fiancée, I thought we had the perfect excuse to get out of his apartment and move to mine.What I hadn't expected was my cousin objecting to the suggestion. A bit too passionately, if you ask me.He said there was no hurry and claimed that they wanted company, but I highly doubted that. He had no problem living by himself before, so it sounded like an excuse to me.Was he refusing because he wanted Ivy to stay longer with him? But he had brought back his fiancée. This meant that he wasn't pursuing Ivy, right?His fiancée was very friendly and welcoming, but I couldn't help noticing Ezra's behaviour towards her. She insisted on helping him in the kitchen while making dinner, and he didn't look too happy about her being around him. Why had he brought her back?After they were done, Lana set the table. “Dinner is ready.”“Let me help you,” Ivy offered, reaching for the utensils.“No,” Lana refused and gestured towards a seat. “You'

Lana’s POV“I really want to come with you,” I told Ezra, hoping to finally persuade him. “Don’t you want me to see where you work? You can introduce me to your colleagues.”“Why would I do that?” he asked coarsely.In the privacy of our bedroom, he did not bother hiding his contempt. Not that he was doing a good job of hiding it in front of his cousin and his step sister. I had to do all the heavy lifting to maintain an image of a loving couple.When we went to sleep, he refused to get on the bed and slept on the sofa in the room. Until when did he intend to keep acting like this? He was like a child throwing a tantrum.“Because I’m your fiancee,” I reminded him. “You should show me around and introduce me to your friends. You can’t just leave me here alone.”“You insisted on coming here,” he said. “I never invited you. It’s not my job to keep you entertained.”“I came for us!”He looked at me, finally. “Us?” He laughed. He pointed at me and then at himself. “I want no part of this.
