All Chapters of 358 Days Of Temptation & Sins With My Alpha Stepsons: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Alora's POV:“What do you think you're doing?” I questioned, anger rising in my chest.Keziah didn't say anything.Instead, his grip on me remained strong.For a second, I couldn't believe what was happening. My mind struggled to catch up with my body. One moment, I had been lying in my bed, deliberately ignoring him, and the next, he was holding me down as though he had every right to.“Let go of me!” I yelled.His expression remained unreadable.“Just stay put for three seconds,” he demanded, as if he wasn't crossing a line.As if I was supposed to listen to him after what he had just done.“No,” I said firmly.He didn't budge.His hands moved over my clothes, and panic immediately rose in my chest.“I said no!” I yelled again.This time, I didn't wait for him to respond.I didn't know where the strength came from, but I pushed him away with everything I had.He stumbled backward, and before I knew it, I was at the other side of the room, breathing heavily.My heart was pounding aga

Alora's POV:He came closer to me, slowly closing the distance between us.“So please, don't make this harder for me. Tell me. Who did this to you? Is it my mother? Please, just answer me.”My knees buckled slightly, but I remained standing. I refused to let him see how much his words were affecting me. I wouldn't let him have that kind of effect on me. He was still Keziah. The same Keziah who had made it clear, countless times, that he didn't want me anywhere near him.Someone couldn't just change in the space of a few hours like that.I was probably reading too much meaning into his actions. Maybe I was allowing the mate bond to make me see things that weren't there. Maybe I was simply confused because, for the first time, I was seeing a side of him that I had never known existed.That didn't mean I could trust him.“Like I said before, it's none of your business,” I maintained.“Alora!”His voice came out as a growl, and the dam he had been trying to hold together all along finally

Keziah's POV:I found myself outside, standing in the compound with no real idea of how I had gotten there. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a pale light over the quiet surroundings. The entire pack house seemed to have gone still, but my mind was anything but quiet.The breeze was cold against my skin, yet I still couldn't breathe properly.The mark on Alora's back was etched into my head. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself that it might have been an accident or perhaps a birthmark, the excuses sounded ridiculous even in my own thoughts. I knew what I had seen. Those weren't random marks. They had been deliberately engraved into her skin by someone despicable.That was pure wickedness.Whoever had done that to her had gone beyond cruelty. I couldn't understand how someone could look at another person, especially a woman, and decide to leave something so terrible on her body. The thought made something dark stir inside me.Anyone who did that to her didn't deserve to

Alora's POV:By the time the heavy curtains of evening finally descended upon the sprawling estate, I had almost entirely convinced myself that the chaotic turbulence of the day had finally settled into something resembling peace.Almost. My own rebellious stomach decided to shatter that fragile illusion, rumbling loudly enough to remind me that despite my best efforts to detach from the physical world, I was still human and desperately needed to eat something substantial before the night was through. Reluctantly closing my book, I stood up and quickly changed out of my lounging clothes into a simple, comfortable black dress that fell gracefully just below my knees. I gathered my hair back, securing it loosely in the same low ponytail I had worn earlier during the afternoon. I certainly wasn't trying to make any grand fashion statements or impress anyone at the main table. My motives were entirely practical and singular: I simply wanted to fill my plate, consume a quiet meal in rela

Alora’s POV:The fork slipped slightly between my fingers, clattering softly against the porcelain plate.An absolute, deafening silence fell over the dining room.It was the kind of heavy, suffocating silence that felt infinitely louder than any shouting or screaming could ever be.Everyone's attention turned sharply toward me, a collective movement of predators locking onto a wounded, exposed prey.For a few agonizing seconds, nobody moved an inch.Nobody spoke a single word.I could feel their collective eyes searching my face, scanning my features for any micro-expression, any sudden twitch, any hint of guilt, or any explanation that could confirm the devastating suspicion Leah had just casually thrown onto the table like a hand grenade.My heart hammered frantically against my ribs, threatening to break free.I couldn't think straight.I couldn't even breathe properly, my chest burning from the lack of oxygen.Kade was staring directly at me now, his expression shifting from casu
