Step Brother Penelope Ward Novels & Stories

Will Her father is obviously disappointed that we'll only be staying one night. I’m surprised when Stephanie’s response is to tell him that she left everything in order before she went to Sloane’s birthday party. She told me she has been acting as Luna, but I didn’t realize that her stepmother is doing nothing in the Luna capacity, except reaping the benefits. I’m quickly beginning to understand what Stephanie means about her stepmother and stepsister not earning the respect of the pack. How can any Luna expect her pack to respect her when she doesn’t even do her job?

I asked, voice low but steady. Savannah stepped up beside me, shoulder brushing mine in silent solidarity. “What do you want, Penny?” she said, her tone ice-cold. “Are you stalking us? Is that what you’re doing now? Ever since your career went down the drain after you screwed Senator White’s son over, do you now follow people around like a bad stench?” Penelope turned so sharply I half-expected her neck to snap. The movement was violent, filled with raw hate that flashed across her face like lightning before she could smother it.

“Especially don't ask your stepbrother anything later. His father said he doesn't like it when people are curious about him. Since you're a person who's very curious about everything, so I'm warning you. You heard that right?” “What am I curious about a stranger becoming my stepbrother anyway? I wasn't interested in having a stepbrother in the first place, let alone a stepfather.” Except for the fact that I was a little curious as to why Mr. Peterson was so concerned about his son's tastes. Fortunately, before mom could pinch me again, that man finally appeared. Looking as neat as if he was meeting the president, he kissed my mom and then extended his hand to me. “Roberts Peterson,” he said.

Just like that, I instantly knew she was the one who sent Cellie to the library and from the tight look on Cellie's face, it had been a set up. My stepmother was slowly making me lose any fucks I might have felt obliged to give as her stepson. Cellie's voice was clipped. “I did, thanks to you.” Penelope appeared uncomfortable with the sarcastic undertone but I knew it was only for my benefit. She wouldn't have given a f*ck about how Cellie felt if I wasn't here. She slowly faced me, her gaze avoiding mine when she spoke. “I have a couple of things to discuss with my daughter so if you'd excuse us…” She folded her shaky hands in front of her silk skirt suit. “I'd like to borrow her for a seco

"We will talk about everything when your feet touch this floor. Nobody gets away with hurting my daughter." I cut the line. The heavy wooden doors of the royal court seemed to shake with the silence that followed. Along the stone walls, the Beta guards stopped moving entirely. They even held their breath. They knew my moods, and they could feel the heat radiating off my skin. Three years ago, Penelope walked away from everything. She was my only girl, the true heir to the Lycan name, and the Alpha who was supposed to take over this entire territory. I had picked a perfect match for her, a union that made sense for our people. She threw it away for a fated mate. She hid her real strength, loc

“No. Of course not.” She stared at me, unimpressed. “That was the worst lie you’ve ever told.” I clenched my jaw. “He’s my stepbrother.” “And yet… i bet you are crying your face looks swollen You don’t eat. You flinch every time someone mentions his name. That’s not nothing, Ari.” My heart felt like it was caving in. Tears threatened. “It’s over. Okay? If there ever was anything it’s over.” “Did he hurt you?”

“I know Im surprised too, she told me today, said she was scared of telling me that, he is about your age actually “, he said. “Finally Im getting a brother yayy”. “You’re talking things too far,I didn’t say we are getting married. She’s just coming for dinner and she wants to relocate permanently here if she sees the town is good enough for her”, he said. “So thats why Youre here bubbling with joy, look at the way youre smiling “. He blushed deeply, “Shes a really sweet woman, honestly “, he said. “Well I can’t wait to meet my new step mom and my new step brother “, I teased.

Her throat was parched, but her hands caressed her flat lower abdomen. This caught his attention, and he turned to her, gaze sharp and distant. Their marriage wasn't perfect, but Axel took care of her. He never made her feel like she had no one left, especially the time her stepmother died. His eyes followed her movement as she tried to get out of bed. The IV needle in her wrist was snatched out by her. She pushed away the white duvet. But she had miscalculated because instead of stepping off the bed, she stumbled to the floor. She inhaled sharply from the pain.

Simone walked almost reflexively up the stairs to her place. She had to pinch herself a couple of times to make sure she was awake… and lo and behold, it was no dream. William, her stepbrother whom she had been daydreaming about since her college days, had asked her to be his lover.

“Brayden is smart, but not as untouchable as he thinks. By the time this deal is done, we’ll be sitting on a fortune while he’s left scrambling to clean up the mess.” Penelope’s nails dug into her palms. They were planning to steal from Brayden. Not just a little— Everything. Her stomach twisted in disgust. She wanted to storm in, to slap them across their smug faces, to tell them their game was over. But she stopped herself. Now wasn’t the time. There would be another day. Another moment. For now, she simply watched, memorizing every detail. And then, as silently as she came, she slipped away into the shadows—
