Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated To My Alpha Stepbrother : Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

CLEO My mate dropped to his knees beside me with a sound that wasn’t quite human. “Cleo? Sunshine? Look at me. Stay with me.” His hands hovered over me, shaking, unsure where to touch without causing more pain. “I’m here. I’m still here.” My voice came out shaky, but I forced my eyes to stay open, forced myself to hold onto his face like an anchor. Roman burst through the door a heartbeat later, barking orders to the guards flooding in behind him. I watched distantly and through a haze, as Rochelle backed herself into a corner, her hands raised, and as two guards seized Bella by the arms before she could think to run. “She confessed, Erin promised her things. She’s been working with him for years.” I gripped Laurent’s wrist, forcing the words out before the darkness turning my eyes dark could take them from me. His jaw tightened, fury and grief warring plainly across his face, but his hands stayed gentle on me, careful, tracing my wound like he could will it closed through shee

LAURENTI couldn’t tell who was more stunned; I or my uncle whose mouth hung open. His eyes were filled with shock, and under that, was fear. His fingers fell into fist at his sides. His reaction was very telling. Feeling sick, I leaned forward. “Who the hell is Rockne?”“A dead man!” Erin spat. “He’s been dead for years, and Richard killed him. What does that have to do with anything?”The Alpha King snapped his fingers. It must have been a signal because his personal bodyguard turned and pulled the door open. A man stepped into the room. He was dressed head to toe in black, along with combat boots on his feet. His face was covered with a black mask, eyes hidden behind a dark aviator shades. If I had thought my uncle was shocked before, he was stunned by the man’s sudden appearance. He gazed at him as though enraptured, his eyes bugging from his face. “You didn’t think he survived, did you?” The Alpha King tutted. “Come sit, Rockne. We’ve been waiting for you.” The aura seeping

CLEO The door barely had time to shut before I turned back around, fury and hurt boiling too hot to contain a single second longer. “Roman? For going behind my back, you’re confined to the packhouse grounds for the next month. You will not attend any hunts, patrols beyond our borders, or anything else that takes you anywhere near where Gabrielle is hiding.” Roman’s jaw tightened. “Luna, with respect, I only wanted to know she was safe…” I cut him off, my voice hitched high despite my best efforts to stay controlled. “I don’t care what you wanted. I do care about the fact that you looked me in the eye and lied that you’d honored my order. That’s a betrayal, Roman, whatever noble reason you used to justify it.” He opened his mouth to argue further, but Laurent’s hand landed firm on his shoulder, stopping him cold. “You agreed to whatever punishment my mate would decide if she ever discovered this. That was the deal, Roman. Accept it.” Laurent’s voice was low, and final with author

LAURENTI didn’t need to be told twice. I freed myself quickly, shoved her skirt up around her waist. I jerked her into my body, my fingers stroking between her legs. I found her already soaked, and ready, her body arching desperately toward mine. A low groan escaped my thrust when her heat burned the tip of my cock as I lined it up to her wet core. I thrust into her in one hard stroke, both of us groaning at the sudden, overwhelming fullness of it. Her nails dug into my shoulders, legs locking around my waist, and I set a punishing rhythm immediately. My thrusts were deugen by days of need, fury and desperate, aching love all tangled together into an emotion that was almost violent in its intensity. “Yes, Laurent, just like that, don’t stop. ” She threw her head back, her breath hitching with every slap of my hips forward. I didn’t stop. I fucked her hard against that window, her body meeting every thrust with equal desperation.Our bed was forgotten entirely in favor of raw,

CLEOWhen I woke up alone the next morning with no note from Laurent, I knew something was really wrong. His side of the sheets did not look slept in. I couldn’t even pick up his scent from it which meant he had been gone for hours. Maybe he had never slept beside me to begin with. Showering as quickly as I could, I went downstairs to the kitchen. If he hadn’t spent the night in bed, then I knew he would be really exhausted. Tabitha was already handling breakfast. She smiled when I stepped into the kitchen. “Good morning, Luna.” “Good morning, Tabitha. I’ll take over breakfast.” I came over to the counter where she had already started chopping the vegetables. “Have you seen my mate all morning?” She glanced outside the window. I looked and saw at the moment my mate coming from the direction of the woods. His shirt was missing, the morning sun simmering off his golden skin. His eyes were fixed intently on Roman’s as they stalked out of the woods together. A small smirk curled my
