Balto X Steele Novels & Stories

What the fuck happened to him? Behind him stand some burly men in black suits with stern expressions, surely Bryan Tatum’s bodyguards. They appear rather frustrated, likely having struggled to prevent Caden from barging in—but he managed it anyway. That’s just how much of a pain in the ass he is. As Bryan’s eyes scrutinize Caden, he inquires, “Him?” “Yup. He’s the bully stepbrother I mentioned.” Bryan rises from his seat, extending his hand in a mature handshake. “Hey, man.”

If you’re late, he won’t wait for you. Noted. Ethan Steele was as rigid as his estate, but I didn't respond, nodding instead. “Oh, and just one more thing…” Greta said, cutting off abruptly at the foot of a stately staircase. She turned to face me, her expression serious. “Mr. Steele has a temper. Your interactions with him should be professional and kept as short as possible.” ” appreciate the heads up", I replied, nodding slowly even though a shiver ran through me. The hell had I gotten myself into?

“You… you, come with me.” The two guards paced to Luna Ailee’s front and bowed their heads. “Yes, your Grace.” Balto took the front with a long blood-sucking arrow that its pointed mouth was digging a hole in the ground. He was also wearing a short-sleeve shirt, but his own was made with bronze since he was the Luna's knight. Ailee walked after Balto majestically with Bemia, her right-hand maid, walking almost beside her while the other two guards walked behind them at over fifteen steps intervals.

+++++++ Day two. I haven't slept. Can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see Viktor's gun pointed at Luca's head. See him fall. See the blood. Elena forces me to eat toast and drink water. I manage three bites before my stomach rebels. "You need rest," she says gently. "I'm fine." "You're not. You've been awake for thirty-six hours." "I said I'm fine." She doesn't push. Just leaves fresh clothes and disappears. Marco returns with more problems. The raid was successful, but now the Bratva is demanding a meeting. The Calabrese want to discuss territory redistribution. The Chinese are asking about shipping routes.

Caitlyn cried as she tried to pull her hand free. He did not let go. Instead, he twisted her wrist slightly. “Please," she cried. Carl leaned slightly closer, his eyes fixed on her. “No one is allowed to bully her without our permission,” he said. “Is that clear!” Caitlyn nodded quickly. “Yes." Carl released her hand and she pulled it back immediately. Jasmine glanced at him, then at me, clearly unsure of what to do next. After a moment, she scoffed and turned away. “Let’s go,” she muttered.

“Too open. We will be exposed.” “That is all we have got,” Ashley shot back. “Delgado is covering everything else. He won’t expect us to run through it.” Nolan gripped the back of her neck lightly. “You stay beside me,” he ordered. She nodded. “Always.” They didn’t get another second. “MOVE!” Viktor roared from across the yard. The BROTHERHOOD charged. The cartel hit back twice as hard. Ashley ran with Nolan, Cole and Ace covering her left, Jax covering the right. They moved like one body—until—

He shrugs, "Looks like someone doesn't want this union to happen more than you." I mind link Steve and get no reply, "Steve's not answering me, you think he's out of the territory?" Chris shrugs, "knowing Steve, if he has a guys scent, he won't let up till he catches him, so it's possible, I swear the guy is more bloodhound than wolf." I chuckle, "true, let's get back, clean up and see if anything else is destroyed, or just my future." After I shower and put on clean sweatpants, I return to my office to find my Beta sitting there, I sit and the packhouse landline phone rings, I pick it up, "Crescent Moon, Alpha Braddock speaking."

mother said, holding the trail of her wedding gown and walking in. “I was just about to come meet you, you look stunning mother” I said with tears in my eyes. I was so overwhelmed seeing my mom finally meet a person who she truly loves and get married into a happy home, I could never imagine myself coming between them. I will always put my mothers happiness first, even if I have to come to terms with accepting Mateo as my stepbrother. “You look like an angel miss oh sorry Mrs Caldwell” Ryan teased. “Don't tease me silly girl” Mom replied laughing.

the auctioneer continued cautiously, “your purchase will be prepared immediately.” Sofia heard the name clearly this time. Volkov. The whispers around the room grew louder for a moment before fading again. The man finally moved. He reached into his jacket pocket and removed a pair of black leather gloves, sliding them slowly over his hands. The gesture was simple but deliberate, the kind of movement that suggested he was used to people watching him. Sofia felt the air leave her lungs. This was the man who had bought her. Ten million dollars. Her stepfather suddenly stepped forward beside the stage, forcing a wide smile.

The satisfaction the look on his face brought me is unexplainable and it was awarded by a smug smirk that made its way to my face. "What are you guys doing here?" Jordan was the first to speak still looking somewhat amused as she shared glances between them both. "Oh, we had some Big Brother role to play. Ralph, its been ages" Travis replied and walked over to me for a handshake then he moved over to Jordan. Leaving me standing right before my one Nemesis who was still glaring at me like I was also doing. "Shelton." I called out just out of spite that was a bit evident in my tone.
