Alle Kapitel von A night with my ex-husband’s step brother : Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

LYRA Shit. Very deep shit. Those were the exact words that left my tongue once I opened my eyes and found myself on a strange bed, in a strange room, and naked! Covered by a blue duvet that smelt of sweat, semen, and… pussy juice? I jumped up, eyes widened in shock, only to catch the stranger from last night staring at the rest of the city from the glass walls of the hotel room. Panic set in almost immediately, and not just because he had the back frame of my husband - just bulkier and hotter - or because of the wolf tattoo that was plastered on his back. I was frightened because I didn’t know who he was, or what he could do with the information of what had transpired between us. “Good. You’re awake.” His voice rang in my ears as he spoke. “I was beginning to think you would sleep in all day.” “How did this happen?” I fired at him, holding the duvet to cover my naked body. He looked at me with a crooked smile on his face. “You kissed me with a mouth full of vomit, and I couldn

Xavier's POV The blood still hadn’t dried on my gloves. It was from the fight, not from the guards I'd slaughtered like livestock. In fact, one could say it had an uncanny resemblance to the blood of a coward. I almost laughed, but one gulp was enough to push it back in. The said coward's blood wasn't from the guards I'd killed, it wasn't even from the ones who had attempted to run away. No, it was from him.Xander’s blood, my brother's boiled with cowardice. I saw it in the way he begged, on his knees, and sniveling like a rat before a hawk. I should have ended him right there, goddess knows I would have done that, but I didn’t.Because of her.Lyra.Even her name whispered through my mind like a fucking prayer I didn’t know I had memorized. I didn't know her name before now, she'd refused to tell me at the club last night, but I liked to think it all happened for a reason. I was fated to know one way or the other, and if you asked me, nothing could beat finding out this way, in

Chapter 6 Xavier's POV The night was cold and the air chilly, and if that wasn't the best combination to further cement my victory tonight, then I had no idea what else could suffice. As I stood on the balcony of my quarters, something caught my attention, and a smile made its way to my lips. The fire still burned in the distance, and with its faint glow, it looked like a beautiful painting against the backdrop of the night sky. I could see the trail of smoke curling into the stars like a dark prayer. While it or reached destruction, it filled me with a wave of satisfaction I wasn't sure I would be able to get anywhere else. Redmoon Pack, was behind me, broken and bleeding, but yet, I didn't feel at peace with myself. I clenched the edge of the balcony's rail until the stone threatened to crack beneath my grip. I should have been celebrating, I should have been drunk on victory. My brother and whatever he thought he had, had crumbled at my feet tonight, the same way our father

Chapter 8Lyra’s POV Morning sunlight spilled through the cracks in my drapes, and I couldn't help but notice it was too bright. They got into my eyes, and no matter how hard I pressed them shut, all of did was make me tossle around the bed. I hadn’t slept a wink last night, but I was able to keep myself company by lying still, and watching the shadows move across the floor. While I did that, I almost told myself that maybe they had solutions to my problems. They didn’t.A small groan slid past my lips as I sat up slowly, my body heavy with everything I hadn’t said. The first thing that caught my eyes was Xavier’s note and that damned box that still sat on my vanity. It was unopened this time, because if I opened it again, I’d want to feel every memory associated with that night, and I couldn’t afford that right now.Nor ever, a small voice whispered in the back of my head No. Today was going to be different. I was done dreaming, done flinching at Xander’s words, and dare I s

Chapter 10Lyra’s POV For the longest time, I didn't want to move, not because I couldn't, but because I didn't want to. No matter how many requests or commands my brain sent to the rest of my body, it just didn't budge, and I wouldn't say I blamed my nervous system. If we were to swap places, and my owner was instructing me to willingly have something to do with Xavier of blackwater, then best believe I was going to shut down immediately, without thinking of the consequences. My mind echoed with the guards last words, and no matter how many times it replayed, I refused to make sense of it. “Forgive the intrusion, Alpha, Luna…” the guard's voice was distant in my memory, but I stoll neard him pretty clearly.“But a raven has arrived. It’s marked with the rogue king's seal.”A message. Xavier had a message, not just for me, but for Xander as well. I had no idea which was worse. The fact that I was still in his mind, or the fact that he had somehow included his stepbrother in it as
