All Chapters of You Don't Get to Love Me Now, Alpha Stepbrother: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

SELENE’S POVI stood in the doorway of the small bathroom, holding Ava's phone in my hand. I looked down at the picture of the man named Ethan on the screen, and then I looked at Ava's scared, nervous face.Inside my heart, I was so happy. I wanted to laugh out loud right in her face. I smirked delightfully because Ava was playing right into my plans. She was doing every single thing I wanted her to do without even knowing it.I was the one who had hacked Ava's account two days ago. I paid a clever person to get into her phone messages. I saw all the long chats she had with this Ethan guy. I did not know him at all, but I assumed they have something together based on how deep and personal their chats were. They talked about personal things, and they talked about seeing each other after a long time.I never expected that Ethan would be the real father of Lucas. Hearing Ava admit it out loud right now was the best news I had ever received in my whole life. If this Ethan was the father,

AVA’S POVI walked down the quiet street, holding Lucas tightly by his hand. The four guards Marcus sent with us walked behind us at a distance, their dark eyes watching our every move. I kept my head low and pulled my phone out of my pocket with shaking fingers.I messaged Ethan on my screen that we could meet around a café close by. I knew a small coffee shop on the edge of the pack town where we could sit without too many people staring at us.While we walked toward the shop, I stopped near a wooden bench and bent down in front of my son. I wiped a spot of dirt off his cheek and looked straight into his sweet brown eyes."Listen to me carefully, Lucas," I whispered softly, taking his small hands in mine. "When we get inside, we are going to see Uncle Ethan. You remember him, right? He is a very good man, and he missed you so much while he was working far away on the big ship. When you see him, I want you to run to him, give him a giant hug, and be very nice to him, okay?"Lucas nod

DAMIEN’S POVI got to the car, pulled the door open, and slid into the seat. The very first thing I did was growl at Ava, my voice low, rough, and vibrating with pure anger."Why did you leave?" I demanded, turning my body to face her in the small space. "I gave you strict orders to stay inside the estate. Why did you disobey me?"Ava did not back down this time. She sat on the far side of the seat, holding Lucas tight in her lap, and glared at me with sharp, fiery eyes."Is your home an estate or a rehabilitation center where I cannot leave?!" Ava yelled at me, her voice ringing loudly inside the quiet car. "You cannot keep me locked like I am some kind of sick patient or a criminal! I am a free woman, Damien!""I am doing it for your safety, Ava!" I barked back, my chest heaving up and down.Ava let out a loud, bitter laugh that was full of pure pain."Safety from what?!" she asked, throwing her free hand up in the air. "Safety from what, Damien? There is no danger out there! The on

SELENE'S POV I paced around in my large bedroom, my soft silk dress sweeping back and forth against the smooth wooden floor. Inside my chest, my heart was racing with pure excitement. Everything had worked out exactly the way I wanted it to. Ava had walked right into my trap, she had met her man in town, and Damien had seen them holding hands with his own two eyes. Now that Damien knew Ava had another man and another father for her child, he would have no choice but to let her go and focus completely on me. My future as Luna was finally safe. However, after an hour of waiting for Damien to walk into my room and try to calm the way I walked out on him in the hallway, I got tired of waiting around. He had not knocked on my door, and he had not sent any maids to call me. My impatience grew too strong, and I decided to check for myself what was taking him so long. I walked over to the tall glass window and looked down at the courtyard below. From her window, I saw Louis parking h

AVA’S POVI tucked the soft blanket around Lucas's small shoulders and kissed his warm forehead. He let out a quiet, gentle sigh and closed his eyes, falling fast asleep for his afternoon nap.I stood by the side of the bed for a moment, watching his quiet breathing, before I turned and walked over to the small chair near the window. I sat down, pulling my knees up to my chest, and stared out at the high stone walls surrounding the estate grounds.My head was spinning with endless, heavy thoughts. I sat there completely lost in thoughts about how I was going to escape Damien's shackle. He had guards at every gate, eyes on every corner of the house, and he seemed determined to keep me and my son trapped in this place forever. No matter where I turned, his shadow was always hanging over me.Then my mind drifted back to the night before, and a hot wave of shame rushed through my body. I thought about the kiss we shared in the hallway. I could still feel the warmth of his lips against
