My step-sister is my ruin

Chapter 41Christian's POVNino found me on the balcony outside the room that had been arranged for me.The night air was cold against my skin, but I barely felt it. Selene had finally drifted to sleep.I'd left the room immediately.I needed distance. Air. Something that would stop the pressure building inside my chest.I'd ordered a bottle of whiskey and within minutes half of it was already gone. The glass trembled slightly between my fingers.I tightened my grip."You shouldn't drink that."Nino dropped into the chair across from me.I didn't look at him."Do not tell me what I should and shouldn't do, Nino." My voice came out low and rough. My jaw tightened. My fingers curled around the glass until my knuckles turned pale."What happened?"I stared out into the darkness. For several seconds, I didn't answer."Selene's dying."Nino's expression changed instantly. The amusement disappeared from his face.Something heavy settled into his eyes. I poured more whiskey.My hand wasn't a

A dangerous little promise

Chapter 42Christian’s POVMorning hadn't fully broken when I heard the knock. I was halfway through buttoning my shirt when the door opened before I could answer. Selene stepped inside, and I turned to look at her. She looked nothing like the woman who had nearly collapsed against me the night before. Her hair was pinned neatly in place, her dress was pressed, and her face was composed. Not a trace of the vulnerability I'd seen last night remained.“You look well,” I said flatly before turning back to my shirt.“I had a long night to prepare for this conversation.” She closed the door behind her and walked farther into the room. “I wanted to speak with you before you left.”If this was about the marriage, I didn't want to hear it. I'd already promised to marry Selene. The decision had followed me through the entire night, refusing to let me sleep. And beneath all of it was the knowledge that Scarlett still hated me. She had every reason to. I had hurt her, and the thought sat heavily

His darkest secret

Chapter 43Christian's POVI instructed Nino to leave alone. I wanted to drive myself.By the time the mansion came into view, I had already made the same decision three times.I would deal with Scarlett first.No—my unfinished business in the west wing.No.The marriage.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as the gates opened."Whiskey," I told the first staff member I passed, not slowing my stride. "My study. Now."I didn't drink it. I stood there with the glass in my hand, staring at nothing, bracing myself for a conversation with Scarlett I still didn't know how to have. What would I tell her? I couldn't even bring myself to face her after today. I went to the west wing first. I told myself I had to deal with it first, but deep down it was because I simply could not face her yet. He was chained in the same reinforced cell we'd used before, slumped against the wall, one leg still bleeding sluggishly where Clementina's bullet had caught him. He lifted his head the moment I

The keys to his ruin

Chapter 44 Scarlett's POV Christian was as handsome as a sin you knew you’d regret. He was tall, broad and deadly. He was everything I should have feared but I just couldn't. He was my first temptation and he would definitely be my last.Christian Marchetti was irresistibly dangerous.But tonight, my stepbrother looked nothing like the man I had always known.There was no coldness in his eyes. No arrogance. No impenetrable mask.He looked... vulnerable.My eyebrows crashed together as I stared at him, my heart tightening at the sight. My mind was still a whirlwind of confusion after everything he had just told me but I couldn't bring myself to care much. For the first time, I wasn't looking at the untouchable Christian Marchetti.I was looking at a man who looked like he was barely holding himself together.He sat on the bed, his legs apart and his head bowed, hands resting heavily on his knees.My mind was still spinning — werewolves, mates, my mother — it sounded like madness.

One more secret

Chapter 45Scarlett's POVWhen I woke up, sunlight was spilling through the curtains.For a few seconds, I didn't move.I stared at the ceiling, still half trapped between sleep and the strange world I'd apparently stepped into last night.Then everything came back in a flash.The conversation.Christian.The truth he'd finally admitted. And by God, it was far from what I had expected.The creature in the forest and his eyes were beginning to make sense.“And you…are my mate.”I scanned the room, my lips slightly parted. Was I still in the real world?I closed my eyes and opened them again.My stepbrother was a werewolf.I let out a quiet breath.And that wasn't even the craziest part anymore.I was his mate.A laugh almost escaped me.Instead, I rubbed both hands over my face.This was insane. There were still a thousand questions sitting inside my head, all demanding answers at once.Why had he kept this from me? How long had he known? What did being his mate even mean? I didn't

A hundred versions of you

Chapter 46Scarlett's POVHe led me through the house, past hallways I recognized and then several I didn't, until we reached a narrow corridor. My steps slowed as I scanned the walls. This mansion was huge and I hadn't gone through most of it but I knew this hallway.My stomach dropped as we approached a plain wooden door I'd seen once before, about a week ago. Clementina found me here and hurried me out with fear written plainly across her face. This was the room with the sheets. The room I'd found a painting of me."Christian." I stopped walking. "I've been here before."He glanced back at me, something unreadable moving behind his eyes. "I know.""Clementina caught me in here. She wouldn't let me look at anything.""I know that too." He held my gaze, steady, unflinching. "I'm the one who told her to stop you."The admission landed heavier than I expected, an old hurt resurfacing alongside the confusion of standing here again.He squeezed my hand gently in his grip, pushed the door

Wanting you isn't loving you

Chapter 47 Christian's POV I didn't paint it. The words sat between us, heavier than anything else in that room full of her face staring back at me from every angle I'd loved. She was waiting for the rest of it, and I knew I owed her more than three words, even if I still didn't fully have the answer. I owed her more than I could ever give her. "I don't know who did," I admitted. "I found it here, tucked among the others, years ago." She studied me, waiting, and I crossed to the canvas beside her instead of answering the question I could see forming behind her eyes. "This one," I said, nodding toward a smaller painting near the window, "I painted the night you fell asleep on the library sofa. You were seventeen.” My lips pulled into a small smile. “You were reading an erotica despite Salvatore's strict warning and you fell asleep with the book on your chest." I could still see it clearly, the exact fall of lamplight across her face that night, the way I'd stood in the

Monsters claim, they don't love

Chapter 48Scarlett’s POVHe froze and I did too. His jaw tightened, the muscles flexing as a shift passed over his features.I almost wished I hadn't asked."I’ve never wanted anything or anyone in my life the way I want you, Scarlett," he rasped, his voice dropping an octave. "I’d ruin myself if it meant having you."But you have already ruined me. I sniffled.‘Have.’ He wanted to have me.My eyes shimmered with unshed tears. I shook my head, taking a half-step back, needing to create that distance between us. "That's not an answer, Christian. You're my brother... this is wrong. Everything about us is wrong.""Step-brother," he corrected instantly, the word snapping out of him as he closed the distance between us. "Salvatore didn't even accept me as his Scarlett. You know that.""It doesn't change what we were raised as!" My voice cracked, a desperate sound echoing off the tall glass skylight above us. "It’s still wrong. The world—""The world burns every single day," he interrupte

Wrong feels so good

Chapter 49Scarlett’s POV The moment our mouths crashed together again, everything I needed narrowed heat and hunger. And not the usual hunger that brought me downstairs. This was a hunger for something passionate, something forbidden, something only my ruthless stepbrother could provide for me.Christian’s tongue swept deep, tasting every inch of me like he meant to brand the memory into both of us. My back hit the wall, the impact rattling through my bones, but I barely noticed. All I felt was the hard line of his cock pressing against my belly through his pants and the low growl that vibrated from his chest into mine.I clawed at his shirt, buttons popping, fabric tearing. He didn’t stop me. His hands were everywhere—gripping my waist, sliding down to cup my ass, hauling me higher so my legs wrapped around him. The scent of turpentine and oil paint mixed with the raw, masculine smell of him, thick and dizzying.Perfect for my hunger.I bit his lower lip hard enough to draw blood.

The howl

Chapter 50Scarlett’s POVThe sudden intrusion ruined everything. I almost groaned in disapproval.One second Christian was soft, breathless, and completely buried inside me and the next, he was as rigid as marble. The tenderness in his grey eyes vanished, replaced by the harsh gaze of an Alpha.He didn't move away from me right away. Instead, he shifted his massive frame, using his broad back and shoulders to hide my naked body from the direction of the door."What?" Christian barked. His voice was a low and dangerous growl that almost made me flinch. The person on the other side of the door had better have a good reason. "Forgive the intrusion, Alpha," The voice sounded tight and I knew something had gone wrong. "The perimeter sensors along the eastern tree line just went dark. And Clementina says the prisoner in the west wing is... acting up. Seems he’s reacting to something outside."“Killian.” Christian whispered under his breath in disbelief.A cold shiver slid down my spine, w
