All Chapters of Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Riley's POVI didn't know how I fell asleep that night. Or maybe passed out was more accurate. Because Ezra was really like a beast that way.How did his previous girlfriends endure him? Or did they like how relentless he was in bed?I struggled to open my puffy eyes when the first ray of sunlight hit my face. I was lying on Ezra's jacket. But he was nowhere to be found."…Ezra?"My voice echoed in the cave. But there was no reply.My heart sank.Shit, that jerk wasn't going to sleep with me and then ditch me, was he?I pulled myself up and got dressed, although my body felt like a truck had run over it. I walked toward the cave entrance and called out again, "Ezra!"Still, nothing.‘Last night was amazing,’ Rene suddenly spoke up in my mind. She sounded very satisfied. ‘Elen and I really connected.’No doubt Elen was Ezra's wolf. ‘Now that you know he ditched us, do you still think everything was great?’ I asked sullenly.‘Oh, Elen would never do that. He was such a gentleman.’Looks

Riley's POVKade's face turned white."Run!" he screamed at his teammates. "RUN!"But nobody got the chance.One second Ezra was beside me, and the next he had crossed the clearing like a blur. Camila barely had time to gasp before he slammed into her. She was thrown backward so hard she hit the ground and rolled across the dirt.People started screaming. They fled like terrified prey.Ezra threw his head back and roared. The sound ripped through the woods with enough Alpha pressure to make the ground shake. Every bird in the trees burst into the air at once.Everyone froze at once.Danica made a strangled noise and stumbled back two steps before her knees nearly gave out.Ezra straightened up and glanced at the crowd, a savage look on his face."Move," he said softly, "and I'll tear your fucking spine out."No one moved."Riley?" He looked back at me.I took a deep breath and walked up to Olivia. She was on the ground, staring at me like she was seeing a ghost. "Im—impossible… you're

Riley’s POVBy the time I found Silas and Odin again, the sun had already started dropping.Odin was sitting against a rock with his sister nowhere in sight. Looks like the traitor was finally taken care of. And Silas stood nearby, arms folded, watching me come back through the trees.Silas studied my face. “Time for a quick meeting? We are done to 3 members so it’s probably time to decide what we should do now—”I cut him off. “What’s there to discuss? We now go win this damn game, of course.”There was a moment of stunned silence. And then Silas burst out laughing, “That was exactly what I wanted to hear!”Odin looked at me and there was shock—maybe also hope—in his eyes. “You actually think we can still win? With just the three of us…”“I don’t know about you, but I won’t go down even if it’s just me left standing,” I said, staring directly into his eyes. “If you have lost faith in this team or held grudge against me because of Olivia, fine, you can walk away now. But I believe I s

Riley’s POVI think the world actually went silent.The wind disappeared. The trees disappeared. Even my own breathing seemed to vanish.It took me almost a minute to find my tongue again:“…What?”“You need to stop,” she said, more urgently this time. “Riley, listen to me. This has gone far enough. You want to prove your strength? Fine. But this is as fat as you can get. Let Ezra win the game as he should be!”I almost couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “What the hell mom…I thought you called because you were worried!”“Well, yeah I’m worried. But I know you are protected by school’s security so nothing can really happen to you, can it? Now focus. Are you good with dropping out from the game?”My grip tightened on the communicator so hard my hand started to ache. “NO! God, mom, I can’t believe you seriously ask me to withdraw. Do you know how hard I worked for this?”“Oh don’t be silly, Riley. It’s just a stupid little game. It comes to nothing what I set off to accomplish—”I felt

Riley’s POVHis words hit me harder than the fall.Because you matter more to me.I dangled in the midair with dust and stone still falling around us. And for a moment my heart literally stopped. Something in my chest cracked open that I didn't even know I'd been keeping shut.We had slept together once, yes. In the dark. In the heat. Bodies slick and breathless, nails dragging down backs, teeth finding shoulders. But that was just sex. That was just survival and proximity and two people who happened to want each other when the world went quiet.I knew he was a fuckboy before this, and he still had so many options. We hadn’t even discussed what this was yet. In the worst scenario, we might go back to being step-siblings who had each other’s guts after the game.But he just said he mattered to me.He could have gone for the kill. One clean move from him now, and the game could swing back into his hands.Yet he rushed to save me without hesitation. Like it was part of his instinct.My h
