All Chapters of 725 Days With My Alpha Stepbrothers : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Stephanie’s POV:Everything. Everything felt so surreal. I had made my mark in the pack, and there was nothing anyone could say to take that away from me. Seeing the way everyone chanted my name with so much joy left me speechless. For the first time in my life, I felt like I truly belonged. Not as an outsider, not as someone trailing on the fringes, but as an integral part of something greater. I felt useful. I belonged in this realm.“Everyone, head back to the Alpha’s house so we can celebrate today,” Tyler announced, his voice commanding yet filled with excitement. His declaration was met with cheers and applause. Slowly, the chants of my name faded as people began to disperse, their excitement shifting toward the promise of a celebration.Alex walked up to me and patted my shoulder. He didn’t say much, but his eyes spoke volumes. He was proud of me, and that silent acknowledgment warmed my heart. Aiden, however, remained unreadable. His expression was distant, a mystery I couldn’

Stephanie's POV:“Stephanie,” I heard my name, which made me look up from my phone to see Lucy running toward me. My smile widened as soon as I saw her. I opened my arms, and she hugged me tightly.After a while, we finally broke the hug.“I missed you so much, girl,” she said.“I missed you too,” I replied.“You look good,” she said, sizing me up. “Too good.”“Thanks,” I said. “You look good too.”“I’m sorry for what happened to you,” she said, and I gave her a curious look.“If I hadn’t taken you to the witches' village, the rebels wouldn’t have gotten to you,” she added, and I realized what she was referring to.“It’s not your fault,” I said. “I should be thanking you instead for taking me there. If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t have learned so much about myself. So, thank you.”“My aunt said you were a Gemini witch,” she said, and I nodded.“But it’s a secret,” I replied. “Don’t say it’s your fault again. The rebels coming after me? It was bound to happen. What matters now is that they’r

Stephanie’s POV:Morning didn’t come any faster than usual, but it came eventually. As the first rays of sunlight seeped through the curtains, I forced myself out of bed. Today was the day of the Rank Duel Challenge (RDC), and the weight of that knowledge sat heavy on my chest. After a quick shower, I dressed for the challenge. I chose black leggings and a black crop singlet, opting for something that would allow me to move freely. Slipping on my black sneakers, I tied my hair into a neat bun. My reflection in the mirror looked ready, at least outwardly. To top it off, I applied a light layer of lip gloss. I needed to feel just a little put together, even if my nerves were a mess. With one last glance at myself, I grabbed my bag and headed out.When I entered the dining room, everyone was already seated. The comforting aroma of breakfast lingered in the air, eggs, crispy bacon, freshly baked bread, and something sweet, maybe syrup or jam. Plates were stacked high with food, the sunl

Aiden’s POV:From the moment the gunshot echoed across the stadium, my eyes never left Stephanie. She was a force of nature, her movements sharp, focused, and calculated. But every time Akira struck back, my chest tightened like a vice. Watching her fight was a mix of exhilaration and agony. I wanted to believe in her, to trust her training, but the mate bond made it impossible to stay calm. Every hit she took felt like it landed on me instead, cutting deeper than any physical wound ever could.The crowd roared around me, their cheers and gasps blending into a deafening backdrop to the chaos unfolding on the field. My fists clenched so tightly at my sides that my nails dug into my palms, but I didn’t care. My gaze was locked on the two figures in the center of the arena. Stephanie was holding her ground, but Akira was relentless. Each strike she delivered seemed heavier, more brutal than the last, and it was all I could do to keep myself from rushing down there and dragging her out o

Alex’s POV:“Alpha Oleg Zakharov's Trial?” Tyler’s voice rang out, laced with disbelief. “That’s ridiculous.”“Who would even add such a thing to the RDC? Are they out of their minds?” Nicholas chimed in, his expression matching Tyler’s outrage.“Let’s calm down,” Aiden said, his tone measured as always. “It might not be as bad as you’re all making it out to be.”“What does the challenge involve?” Stephanie asked, her voice steady but curious. The room fell silent as all eyes turned to me.I felt the weight of her gaze, but I met it without hesitation. “It’s level 20 of target training,” I explained. “It involves running while shooting at a series of moving targets.”As I spoke, I noticed her expression falter slightly. Her lips pressed together, and her brows furrowed, but the moment of doubt quickly passed. Her face brightened, her chin lifting slightly.“It sounds bad, considering my level,” she admitted, “but not that bad, not enough to warrant this kind of reaction.”Tyler let ou
