All Chapters of Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Riley's POV“Okay, here's the thing.”Silas threw an arm around our shoulders, lowering his voice to speak quickly. “Winning won't be easy, but it's not impossible. We need a blitzkrieg. We don't have the stamina for a drawn-out fight like they do.”“Agreed,” Odin said with a nod.“Riley, I’ve seen you on the front line. You're the fastest among the four of us,” Silas said. Olivia looked like she disagreed, but she didn't say anything. “So Olivia, I want you to cover Riley later. You two go straight for the flagpole. Odin and I have better stamina and strength, so we'll intercept the rest of their team. Everyone okay with that?”Odin didn't object, but Olivia snorted. “I don't want to waste my time covering Riley. I can be more useful elsewhere. Like blocking that red-haired girl.”Silas’s voice turned cold. “That red-haired girl Lisa was last year's top female warrior. She could knock you out with one punch. You clearly don't have a good sense of your own strength. And you're not fol

Riley's POV"Ezra!" Hansen let out an agonized cry.The other Lycans also looked utterly devastated. And they all glared at me as if I had committed some terrible crime."You! You filthy, despicable werewolf!" Hansen gritted out. "How dare you insult our prince like this? This is a goddamn crime—""This was our bet," I cut him off, then added sarcastically. "And if you didn't want your holy prince to get insulted, why didn't you try harder during the match? Crying and wailing after you've lost is just laughable and so fucking pathetic."Hansen's face flushed red. Lisa stepped up to Ezra's side and gritted out in a low, dangerous voice, "Ezra, you don't need to do this. There are a million ways to take care of this… quietly."I narrowed my eyes. "Oh, really. Like assassinating me? That's just great. So when you can't win in public, you resort to sneaky, dirty tricks. "Lisa let out a furious growl at me and arched her back as if she was about to charge at me the next second. Silas quic

Riley's POVSilence hung thick and tense in the air. He stared at me. Even though he hadn't moved, I could feel his scent growing darker, heavier, more aggressive.Shit. He was mad. Really mad.I swallowed quietly, wondering if I'd pushed things too far. No Lycan could stand to see his mate make out with another guy. And he was especially proud.So I cleared my throat, trying to change the subject. "Hey, my mom asked you to come home with m—"I didn't get to finish.Because the next second, he suddenly grabbed my throat and crushed his lips against mine.This kiss was even more intense than the last time—the time he found out I was going on a date with Odin. Last time, he bit my lip until it bled. This time, he was even rougher. It felt like he was trying to devour me whole."Shit… no… wait—"I gasped, struggling and kicking, trying to push him off me. But my fight only made him invade more fiercely. He pinned my wrists above my head with one hand, while the other slid under my skirt

Riley's POVMy heart was pounding like crazy in my chest.I could already feel my life hanging by a thread.Would Ezra go easier on me because I'm his mate? No, absolutely not. He hated me, and yet the matebond kept him from hurting me. This was his perfect chance to get rid of me.I started trembling in the night breeze. Without thinking, I took a small step and stepped on a tiny stone.It rolled and hit the wall with a barely audible click."Who's there?!" a growl came from above.I immediately clamped my mouth shut and pressed my back against the wall, hiding in the shadows. I heard the window above slam open."What's wrong, son?" King Soren asked."I heard someone nearby," Ezra said in a low voice.I didn't even dare breathe. Ezra wasn't lying about his hearing. He was terrifyingly sharp."This is the castle. No one would dare eavesdrop here," King Soren said dismissively. "You should get some rest now. Remember what I said about the Hunting Season—you need to win. Only then can I

Riley's POVI froze by the door.I couldn't believe this. When I drugged Ezra, I thought that would at least buy me freedom for the night.Yet he was already here?! How did he even find this place???"Open the damn door. I know someone's in there," Ezra said icily.The staff outside stammered, "T-There's no one in there. Just… Just an empty room.""Bullshit!" a gruff voice snapped, probably one of the soldiers with Ezra. "We just saw a group of suspicious people leaving the building. Are they the rogues? Here to meet someone in this room?!"I clenched my fists, cold sweat forming on my back.The staff outside answered in a panic, "I… I swear there are no rogues here. We would never dare betray the Full Moon Pack…""Liar."Ezra's voice was cold as ice. Then his voice came closer to the door. "I know someone's in there. Come out now, or I'll kick this fucking door down."My heart jumped to my throat.God, I couldn't even imagine… if Ezra came in and saw me… He'd tear this veil right off
