All Chapters of Reborn for my Step brother: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

TRENTON The pain inside my chest felt like it was going to break me in two. Love and betrayal kept fighting in my head until I thought I would go crazy. So late that night, when the whole palace was quiet and everyone else was sleeping, I slipped out of my room. The full moon hung big and bright in the sky, lighting my way like a silent watcher. I walked deep into the ancient forest, my feet crunching on leaves and twigs. Every step felt so heavy, like my legs did not want to move forward.My wolf inside me was fighting hard. He filled me with so much sadness that tears stung my eyes. "Turn back," he kept whispering in my mind. "She is our mate. Do not do this." But I pushed him down. I remembered Aria's laugh, the way her eyes lit up when she saw me, how she kept chasing me even when I pushed her away so many times. Those memories made my heart ache. She looked so warm and real. But then the bad memory came crashing in — her voice talking to Tristan, saying she had me wrapped aroun

TRENTON Time started moving again all at once. The leaves that had been floating in the air fell softly to the ground. The wind began to blow gently through the trees. But I did not care about any of that. I dropped the ritual right there and held Aria tighter. Her body was starting to fall completely, like a flower that had no strength left. She felt so light and so cold. Her skin was like ice against mine. I held her close to my chest, one hand under her head and the other around her back."Aria," I whispered, my voice shaking badly. I pressed my ear to her chest. Her heartbeat was so faint, like a tiny bird trying to flap its wings but too weak to fly. Her breathing was shallow and slow. For one terrible second, I thought I had lost her. Really lost her. Forever. The thought hit me hard, like someone punching me in the stomach. I almost killed the girl who crossed time to save me. Guilt washed over me like a big dark wave. It felt heavier than anything I had ever carried. Tears s

ARIAThe morning light came soft through the window. I woke up in Trenton's bed, my body sore in the best way. His arm was wrapped around me tight. I could feel his warm breath on my neck. Last night felt like a dream, but the stickiness between my legs and the love bites on my skin told me it was all real. We had finally crossed the line. Stepbrother and stepsister, but mates above everything else.Trenton stirred behind me. His hand slid over my belly and pulled me closer. "Good morning, beautiful," he whispered in my ear. His voice was still sleepy and deep. "How do you feel?""A little sore," I said with a shy smile. "But happy. Really happy."He kissed my shoulder. "Shower with me. I want to take care of you."We got up together. I felt shy walking naked to his bathroom, but his eyes on me made me feel beautiful. The shower was big and warm when he turned it on. Water poured over us like rain. Trenton pulled me under the spray and kissed me slow and deep. His hands soaped my body

ARIA I woke up early that morning with my stomach full of butterflies. The sky outside was still dark, but I could not stay in bed any longer. Today was the first day of my training. I put on old clothes that would not get ruined easily and tied my hair back tight. My hands were shaking a little as I looked in the mirror. I remembered how weak I used to feel. How everyone laughed at me. But today I was going to start changing that. I took a deep breath and walked out to meet Trenton.He was waiting for me near the old training grounds behind the palace. The air was cold and the grass was wet with morning dew. When he saw me, he pulled me into a big hug. His arms felt strong and warm around me. "Aria," he said softly, "you do not have to do this. We can go back right now if you want."I shook my head and looked up at him. "No. I want this. I need this. Please do not stop me."He sighed and kissed the top of my head. His eyes looked worried, but he took my hand and we walked together
