All Chapters of RESISTING MY COCKY ALPHA STEPBROTHERS : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Ember's POVI had been hiding Marcus for six months and the secret was eating me alive. Not because my family was prejudiced. Grandma married two werewolves as a lycan after all.But because Marcus was human. Completely entirely wonderfully human.No supernatural blood. No enhanced abilities. Nothing to help him survive in our dangerous world. And now I was pregnant with his child which should not have been medically possible.Hybrids could mate with other supernaturals or powerful humans exposed to supernatural energy. But Marcus was a regular accountant who lived in the human sector of the city.He worked nine to five. His biggest thrill was fantasy football. He was adorably normal.And I loved him so much it terrified me.We met at a supernatural human integration event I was coordinating. He approached me with genuine curiosity instead of fear. Asked intelligent questions. Made me laugh.Most humans at those events stayed on their side of the room. Too scared to actually interact.

Ember's POVThe baby was killing me and nobody knew how to stop it.My pregnancy progressed in terrifying unpredictable waves. The baby grew rapidly for two weeks then slowed to almost nothing for three weeks then exploded in growth again.There was no pattern. No logic. Just chaos in my body.The healers examined me constantly. Took blood samples. Monitored the baby's development. Whispered among themselves when they thought I could not hear.But I heard everything. My hybrid senses picked up every worried conversation and every uncertain diagnosis."Her body does not know how to handle this," one healer said. "Her metabolism keeps switching between human and supernatural rhythms. It is tearing her apart."My morning sickness lasted all day. Every day. I could not keep food down for more than an hour.My cravings shifted constantly. One minute I wanted raw meat. Next, I wanted ice cream and pickles. Then suddenly nothing tasted right at all.Sleep did nothing. I could rest for twelve

  Ember's POV I woke to voices arguing above me and pain tearing through my body. The healers were debating options while my life slipped away with every heartbeat. Marcus stood beside my bed looking destroyed. His hand gripped mine so tightly I thought my bones might break. But I welcomed the pain because it meant I was still alive. "We need her decision," the head healer said. "We are running out of time." "What are my options?" My voice came out barely a whisper. Every word hurt. "We can terminate the pregnancy to save you. Put you in a medically induced coma and hope you both survive. Or suppress your supernatural abilities to reduce the biological conflict." "The third option. Do that one." Marcus leaned closer. "Ember you do not have to decide right now. We can discuss this." "There is

  Luna's POV I folded another of Ember's shirts and placed it in the moving box while tears blurred my vision. This was really happening. My sister was leaving. We had been inseparable since childhood. Sisters bonded by prophecy and destiny and genuine love. We shared everything. Our fears and our dreams and our empathy link. Now she was moving away to give her daughter the normal life none of us ever had. I understood intellectually. But emotionally it felt like abandonment. "Luna you are crying on my favourite sweater," Ember said gently. I wiped my eyes. "Sorry. I will wash it before I pack it." "Or you could keep it. As something to remember me by." "You are not dying. You are moving an hour away. Stop being dramatic." But my voice cracked. We both knew this was bigger than distance. Embe

Ash's POVI stood there watching Stella walk away after dismissing me like I was nothing. Nobody had treated me this casually in years and it felt both refreshing and deeply irritating.People either revered me for my family name or feared me for my strength. Stella did neither and genuinely did not care who I was or what bloodline ran through my veins."I am not a prince," I called after her. "And I can actually fight."She stopped walking and turned around slowly. Her expression was pure amusement mixed with challenge. "Prove it then. Fight me right now. If you win I will apologise for the prince comment. If I win you leave Crescent Moon territory permanently."I should have declined immediately. Starting a conflict with a neighbouring pack member was diplomatically stupid and could cause serious problems between our territories. But something about her challenge ignited my competitive spirit."You are on."We circled each other carefully in the moonlit clearing. The forest became o
