All Chapters of Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother: Chapter 51 - Chapter 57

Riley's POVAll my sleepiness vanished in an instant.I jumped up immediately and went to wake my teammates.And just like me, they were shocked and scared too."I didn't see anything! Not a single person, not even a passing rabbit," Olivia said in horror. "Maybe it was a ghost…"She shivered at her own words."Definitely one of the competitors," Silas crossed his arms, his face hard and stern as stone in the moonlight. "And a good one. They got close without any of us noticing. Top-tier hunter.""But why didn't they finish us when they had the chance? They could've just lured some beasts to our camp and we'd all be out. Why leave a note and warn us?" Odin asked.Then he glanced at me. That look—dark and complicated—made my stomach sink.I knew what he was thinking.He still suspected I'd told Ezra about our strategy and campsite.He thought I'd betrayed everyone."If you've got something to say, Odin, just say it!" I clenched my fists, glaring at him. "But I swear I didn't betray thi

Riley’s POVOlivia’s face went white.“N-No! Wait—” she shrieked as two of Ezra’s men strode toward her.They didn’t hesitate for even a second. One grabbed her by the arm. The other reached for her shoulder like they really meant to drag her all the way back to the blasted camp and toss her into the fire.“Odin, Odin, help me!!” she screamed, kicking her legs. “Look at them! Fucking monsters—Let me go!!”“Get your hands off my sister!” Odin roared.He shoved himself in front of Olivia, his eyes bloodshot. Even half injured, he still looked ready to fight Ezra and his teammates.“Riley, tell them to let her go!” he snapped his head around to me. He might really hate me if I didn’t do something.I narrowed my eyes, “Sure. But isn’t she going to apologize for what she said? Because I’m one hundred percent sure she wanted to screw me over.”Odin hadn’t even replied. And Olivia started screaming again, half-choking, “I was simply looking out for our team. Are you going to punish me for th

Riley’s POVMy whole body went cold.Then hot.Then furious.This was exactly what I had been afraid of all along. Ezra and his endless messy history with girls. All those gorgeous, cheerleader exes. I knew how quick he moved on, and that’s why I kept telling myself not to fall for him like some stupid idiot.And still, the moment I saw him in the moonlight, my heart had leaped anyway.What a joke.I stared at Danica’s hand looped around Ezra’s arm and felt something ugly twist in my chest.“So he’s your bodyguard?” I avoided Ezra’s gaze and kept my eyes on her. “You don’t even have the courage to face me yourself.”He raised an eyebrow. She choked and forced out a smile, “Come on, Riley. You don’t need me to tell you the right from wrong. What you’re doing is very cruel. Inhuman, almost.”There it was again.That same fake moral tone from the broadcast.“So you are here to beg me,” I said coldly.Her expression turned harsher. “I’m not begging. I’m making demands. Reasonable demands.

Riley’s POVI stared at Roy for a second, my mind almost blank.“...What do you mean, execute you?”Roy was still on his knees, breathing hard. His face was wet with tears and dirt.“Kade said if I go back empty-handed, he’ll make an example out of me,” Roy said hoarsely. “Not just beat me up. He said he’d tie me to a tree at night and leave me there with fresh blood on my skin.”A chill ran down my spine.Carrion hounds.Or worse.I swallowed. “He’s bluffing. You’re his teammate. And this game is being broadcast right now. He would never do that.”Roy let out a weak, shaking laugh. “This is the guy who uses healers as bait, Riley! You know that more than anybody else. And the school doesn’t give a shit about guy like me. No rich and powerful family, no connections, no real potential. They will watch me get ripped apart by the hounds.”He was right. I knew exactly what kind of monster Kade could be.My fingers tightened around my dagger.God, I hated this.“And why should I believe yo
