Semua Bab My Alpha Step-Brother Is A Ten : Bab 21 - Bab 30

~Soren~I look down at the paper on my floor and my heart slams in my chest as I walk across the room and grab it.It's Felix's handwriting. blunt, angular, urgent.I look at the door. He's out there, waiting and I want to crumple the note and go back to bed.To make him suffer the way he made me suffer but the mate bond is a between us, pulling, aching, demanding.I unlock the door and open it.Felix is leaning against the wall opposite my room. His hair is a mess, his eyes bloodshot."Soren—""Don't." I step back, leaving the door open. An invitation. "Just... come in."He follows me inside and I close the door behind him, lock it.We stand there in the darkness, the only light which is the moonbeams is streaming through my window."I fucked up," he says quietly. "Everything I said—""Was true." I turn to face him. "You're scared. I get it. But you hurt me, Felix. You keep hurting me

~Soren~ I’m hanging onto Kai's leather-clad waist, my knuckles are white but my mind is three miles back, trapped in the steam in the shower. I can still sense the mass of Felix’s hands, heavy and possessive, kneading my breasts and finger fucking me so fast and hard. The memory of his mouth, warm and insistent against mine, sucking my nipple so hard I was crying out his name, takes me by surprise in a sudden, sharp wave of heat. I clamp my eyes tight shut, warding off the wind. I can almost feel the ghostly slide of his cock prying me open for him, the way his fingers inside me with that torturous, rhythmic motion. "You all right back there?" Kai’s voice cuts through the roaring engine. I whip my head up, my cheeks burning. "I'm fine. Just... chilly." As soon as we got to college, heads turn. He swings a leg over the bike, and looks at me with an unusually tender expression. “You’re shaking, Soren,” he says as he reaches for me, planning to help with unbuckling the helmet

~Soren~ I don’t remember running. I’m in the main hall one second, that awful photo seared into my retina, and the next I’m coming to the library doors, gasping for air like I’ve been under too long. The library is thankfully empty, most students are either in class or are conversing in the hall, nibbling on the bones of my dignity like buzzards. I get to the back corner, the one with the armchairs no one ever sits in because they reek of old lady perfume and moth balls, and I fall down. The crying comes hard and fast, ripping along out of my chest like It's going to choke me to death. This is it. It’s over. My mother is going to kill me. Not figuratively. Literally kill me. She’s probably going to make it look like an accident, she’ll strangle me in the shower, make me have a tragic fall down the stairs, have a mysterious peanut allergy that was definitely never there before. And Felix's father? He is going to lose his mind. The Future Alpha, found in a compromising situati

~Soren~ I watch from the doorway as she holds court with her sorority sisters, her voice managing that perfect mix of skeptica lness and authority. “I mean, c’mon. Felix risking everything for his stepsister?” She looks at her nails as though the whole scandal is terribly dull. "That photo is either photoshopped or taken out of context. I dated him for more than a year. Trust me, he’s not that stupid.” A few girls nod. Others take out their phones, fingers flying on their keyboards. The tide is turning, uncertainty quietly taking hold where certainty used to be. I slip out the side door and run, not to the parking lot where everyone huddles, but around back. Behind the science hall where nobody goes except to smoke pot or make out. I fall against the brick wall, sliding down until I’m sitting on the cold concrete and finally let myself break down. The sobbing becomes what you’d call ugly and violent, the type that shakes your entire body. I bury my face in my knees. God,

~Soren~"Yes! Isn't this exciting?" Georgina pats the seat beside her. "That just means more land, better resources, more political influence.”“Your mother and I will be running one of the largest pack territories in the area."I blink."And," Alpha Donovan continues as he pulls out his smart phone, "we wanted to talk about the spring gala. The Council has ordered that we make it a celebration, the merger is to be celebrated. Very formal, very public."He shows me his phone. It's on an email with dress codes, venue information, and guest lists.Not the photo.Not accusations. ...Just... party planning."We'll need you and Felix there, of course," Georgina says. "Looking perfect. This will be our first big appearance as a family."I'm still standing, still trying to process.They don't know, they don’t the picture!They didn't call me here about the photo.They brought me here to talk about a party. The relief is so intense I become dizzy and I become cold with relief."Soren?" Alph
