All Chapters of Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Riley’s POVWhat?I could barely believe what I just heard.Ms. Bright just said I was in Ezra’s team?But that couldn’t be right. Something’s wrong!For a second, the entire field was completely silent. Then chaos erupted. Everyone started whispering to each other, some girls even screamed. Everyone standing before me turned their heads around, staring at me.“No, that’s not possible,” I blurted out. “There has to be a mistake...”“No. Freaking. Way!”A voice, much shriller than mine, shot out from the front.A gorgeous blonde girl stormed out of her line and headed straight for the stage.I recognized her instantly. She was the one hooking up with Ezra that first day in the West Wing dorm. His rumored girlfriend, Danica.“There must be a mistake!” Danica screeched. “I’m Ezra’s healer. No way he’d team up with that little bitch!”Ms. Bright remained expressionless. “I know this is hard to believe. But Riley Monroe’s name is right here on my list. Someone on your team must have submit

Riley’s POVI shouldn’t feel guilty or scared.But Ezra’s gaze still sent shivers down my spine.King Soren, on the other hand, looked totally pleased. “Oh really? So this boy—he’s a student at Royal Academy too?”“Uh, yeah.” I swallowed hard, trying to change the subject as fast as I could. “But it’s not a big deal or anything. We’re just going to hang out, maybe go for a run…”But of course, they weren’t going to let it go that easily.“What’s his name?” my mom asked, eyes gleaming with curiosity.“He’s a Lycan, isn’t he?” King Soren added.“His name is Odin. And no, he’s not a Lycan. He’s a werewolf. Actually, we’ve known each other since we were kids. He’s the Alpha’s son from a neighboring pack.”My mom giggled like she was thirteen. King Soren frowned.“So just a werewolf, huh?” His voice turned low and serious. “When you start dating officially, I’d expect your partner to at least be a Lycan. And from a respectable bloodline.”I rolled my eyes internally. Since when did he get

Riley’s POVI glared at him, furious. That shameless jerk!“Riley, your lips... what happened?” Odin asked, hesitating.“Nothing!” I said quickly.“You sure?” Ezra drawled, giving me a smug smile. “Because I know what happened last night. And I know who that guy was. You can’t lie about this, little sis.”“You know?!” Layla gasped.“Of course. We live under the same roof. Not that I’m thrilled about it either.” He shrugged.“Spill it, come on!” Layla said, bouncing with excitement. “I bet it’s someone totally embarrassing.”“Maybe the school janitor. Or one of the servants. Someone odd and disgusting!” Camila added.Ezra turned to me with a smirk. “Want me to tell them?”I saw the threat in his eyes. Those gorgeous green eyes—I swear, sometimes I just want to poke them out. “What will it take for you to keep your mouth shut?!” I hissed under my breath.“You already know what I want, Riley. I literally just told you.”I took a deep breath, fists clenched so hard my nails dug into my pa

Riley’s POVAfter that day, Odin and I kept going into the mountains for training. We were syncing up better with every session, which also boosted Odin’s confidence in our team.As for the kiss, it never happened again.And we both silently agreed not to bring it up.With less than a week left before the official start of Hunting Season, Olivia finally decided to join us.To train more effectively, I started booking the academy’s training rooms. These spots were in insanely high demand right before Hunting Season, so I had to stay up late stalking the booking site just to snatch a room for the next day.But despite everything, our team was finally heading in the right direction.“Great one!”I was clapping and cheering from the sidelines as Olivia and Odin wrapped up a sparring round.Odin clearly had the upper hand, but Olivia got in a few flashy counterattacks that made it a solid match. The two of them walked over, sweating and smiling, talking about things to improve during the n

Riley’s POVI rolled my shoulder once and stepped back into the arena.“Let’s see what else you’ve got, asshole,” I growled.Vincent’s jaw was clenched tight. Ever since Ezra exposed him for sneaking in a knife, his face had been red like it was about to explode.“O-Or we don’t have to do this,” he stammered, almost desperate to get the hell out of here. “We can call it even. We’ll let you have the training room today—”“What? No, no, no, no, no.” I let out a loud, cold laugh. “You’re the one who came challenging me first. Now you wanna back out? Too damn late!”And with that, I lunged at him, fist aimed straight for his face.He scrambled back, panicking, and tripped over his own damn foot. It was perfect for me. I landed a solid punch in his gut and followed up with a sweep that knocked him completely off balance. He hit the ground hard with a loud thud.Gasps echoed around the room.Layla was jumping up and down, shrieking. “Get up, you idiot!”But I wasn’t about to give him a chan
