All Chapters of In Heat For My Stepbrother : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

**ISABELLA** The hallway went dead silent. Edward's earlier confident smirk faded, twisting into something closer to terror as Maximilian took a deliberate step forward.“Delete the photos,” Maximilian commanded, his voice low and cold, towering over Edward foreshadowing impending danger.My heart leaped in panic. Fear surged through me as I clutched Maximilian's shirt, desperate to anchor him before things escalated. "Max," I whispered urgently, my eyes darting to his clenched fist. One wrong move, and Edward might not walk away unscathed.Maximilian glanced down at my grip on his shirt, then met my pleading gaze. I shook my head slightly, silently begging him not to do this.He briefly closed his eyes, as though reigning in a tempest within."Wow, wow, wow!" A voice cut through the thick tension. Jaxon, a senior from the student body, strode forward, forcing a smile. "What’s going on, guys? Chill, alright?"Maximilian didn’t even spare him a glance.In one swift, fluid motion, he sn

**ISABELLA** Maximilian’s lips pressed against mine…soft at first, barely a whisper of a touch, but stealing my breath in an instant. My eyes widened in shock, my lungs forgetting how to breathe. The world seemed to stop around me. For a fleeting second, I thought it was a dream. Until he tilted his head and took a slow, deliberate lick of my lower lip before pressing his mouth to mine again.My entire body froze and butterflies fluttered in my stomach. It was real. Maximilian was kissing me.My heart pounded like a drum in my chest.  With my wrists still pinned above my head, I could only surrender as his lips moved over mine…slowly, teasingly consuming me completely. It felt like he was devouring me, slowly tasting every bit of my lip

**AMELIA** Black Mountain PackI returned late at night from the tea party, exhausted but maintaining the composed grace of a Luna. The moment I stepped into the packhouse, an Omega rushed forward, as she took the designer purse and fur-lined coat from my shoulders.“Luna, should I serve dinner?” she asked softly.I waved her off without looking. “No, I already ate after I finished shopping,” I tossed the shopping bags on the sofa. She hesitated. “Then should I serve only the Alpha?”I stopped in my tracks, my fatigue vanishing. “Alpha Jonathan is back?”“Yes, Luna. He arrived about half an hour ago.”A rush of e

**ISABELLA**“Stay close to me,” he murmured, his voice low, intimate.I could feel the heat radiating off of him, his scent enveloping me, his arms keeping me securely in place….never allowing my body to touch anyone else, no matter how crowded the bus got.I swallowed, my face heating. Our bodies were pressed together, every inch of me molded against him, his touch possessive yet protective.I didn’t want to move. Didn’t want this moment to end.Clutching the fabric of his shirt, I whispered, “Let’s get off at the next stop and take a taxi. You don’t have to force yourself to be here…”His warm breath ghosted over my face as he leaned in slightly. “I’m here because I want to be, Bella,” he murmured.

**ISABELLA**  Alina studied me for a moment, then nodded as if she understood. "Alright, then I'll drive you home."Home? The mere mention of it made my heart ache.Rogue territory. The sharehouse. The place where Maximilian and I had lived together. Slept in the same bed. Shared meals.I gripped my coffee cup tighter. "I… I can't go there anymore," I murmured, my chest tightening.Alina frowned slightly. "If you don’t go back home, then where will you go?"I hesitated. Where would I go? That question was a slap in my face. I had no where to go. "
