Ryker leaned back in his chair, his sharp eyes scanning the reports in front of him. The name "Mia Minton" stood out in bold letters, but it wasn’t just her name that intrigued him, it was who she really was. His lips curled into a slow, wicked smile. Victor’s son’s mate? And not just any she-wolf, but an Averia?

The revelation sent a dark thrill through him. This changed everything. If Mia truly possessed the strength of an Averia, she was a threat. But more than that, she was a weapon. A pawn he could use against Victor. His fingers tapped against the desk, his mind already planning the possibilities.

A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts. One of his men stepped in, bowing his head slightly. “Alpha, what should we do?”

Ryker exhaled, his smirk widening. “We watch. We wait.” His voice was smooth, calculating. “And when the time is right… we will attack them.”

The next morning, Mia stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the strap of her bag over her shoulder. Toda

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    Unknown Warning

    Mia watched David disappear into the crowd, her chest tightening with frustration. She had thought coming back to university would bring some sense of normalcy, but now everything felt more uncertain than ever. If even David, her closest friend was pulling away, then who could she turn to? Shoving her hands into her pockets, she took a deep breath and tried to shake off the sinking feeling in her gut. Maybe she was overthinking it. Maybe he really did just need time. But something about the way he had looked at her, like she was no longer the same Mia he had always known, made her stomach twist. As she stepped out of the lecture hall and into the cool afternoon air, her phone vibrated in her pocket. Aiden’s name flashed across the screen. She hesitated for a moment before answering. “Are you okay?” His deep voice came through immediately, tinged with concern. Mia let out a sigh, kicking at a stray pebble on the sidewalk. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “David’s been avoiding me

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    The Wolf’s Claim

    David sat rigidly in his chair, his fingers gripping the edge of the table as if holding on for dear life. His pulse was erratic, his face pale under the dim lighting of his small home. Across from him, Ryker exuded raw power and dominance, his presence a silent threat that made the air thick with tension. The room was quiet except for the distant ticking of a clock, a sound that only served to remind David how little time he had left before he had to give Ryker exactly what he wanted information.Mia had returned to the university today, and that meant Ryker needed details. Every move she made, everyone she spoke to, and everything David had seen Ryker wanted it all. There was no room for hesitation, no space for refusal. Loyalty wasn’t an option; it was a forced submission, a chain that kept David bound to the ruthless alpha sitting across from him. He knew exactly what Ryker was capable of, and he knew that if he didn’t comply, the consequences would be brutal.Just as he was about

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    The Wolf’s Obsession

    Ryker stepped out of David’s house, his footsteps slow and deliberate as he walked toward his car. His hands clenched into fists, his mind a storm of emotions he wasn’t accustomed to feeling. The cool night air did nothing to settle the fire raging inside him. His wolf was restless, growling in his head, demanding action."Mate."The word echoed inside him, sharp and insistent, like a command from something deep within his soul. Ryker slammed the car door shut, gripping the steering wheel tightly. He didn’t like this pull, this distraction. He was a man who thrived in control, a predator who dictated the rules. But tonight, he felt something shift.Emma.David’s sister.He had known about her existence, but his men had failed to mention just how delicate, how innocent she looked. When she had walked into the room, her soft jingling anklets announcing her presence before he even laid eyes on her, something inside him had twisted. Then, when she saw him when fear flickered across her fa

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    Little Rabbit

    Emma sat curled up on her bed, hugging her knees to her chest. The dim glow of the moon seeped through the window, casting pale silver light over her trembling hands. Her heart still pounded against her ribs, the remnants of fear gripping her like a cold chain that refused to let go. No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t erase the memory of today: the rough hands that had tried to grab her, the laughter that rang in her ears, the sheer helplessness that had rooted her to the ground. It had been a nightmare. A living, breathing nightmare. And then there was “him.” Ryker. The man who walked in like he owned the world. The man whose name was whispered in fear, whose presence sent shivers down people’s spines. She had always known of David's warnings, the hushed conversations she wasn’t meant to overhear. But nothing had prepared her for what it would feel like to be trapped under his gaze, for the strange pull that had wrapped around her when he looked at her as if he had just

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    Sugar Daddy

    Emma woke up feeling uneasy, the events of the previous day still fresh in her mind. Ryker. His name alone sent a shiver down her spine. The way he had looked at her, the way he had followed her like a shadow made her feel vulnerable, exposed. She shook her head, pushing the thoughts away as she got out of bed. Maybe she was overthinking. Maybe he wasn’t really watching her.But that heavy presence never left her.As she walked to the university, the streets buzzing with life, Emma couldn’t shake off the sensation that someone was near, unseen yet close enough for her to feel it. Her heart pounded, and every time she turned to look, she found nothing but strangers minding their own business. Still, the weight of unseen eyes lingered, making her steps quicken.By the time she reached campus, she exhaled deeply, trying to steady herself. She was just imagining things. There was no way….Then she saw him.Ryker leaned against a pillar near the entrance, arms crossed, a knowing smirk play

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    A Night of Truth

    Emma’s legs ached as she sprinted through the thick, shadowy forest. Her breath came in sharp, ragged gasps, and her heart slammed against her ribs. Where was she? How did she get so lost?The path she had taken from the university had somehow led her into the deep woods, far from the usual trail. The night was unsettlingly quiet, except for the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. Something felt wrong.A shiver crawled up her spine as she heard a noise, a low, guttural growl.Emma stopped in her tracks, her hands trembling as she slowly turned her head. Glowing red eyes stared back at her from the darkness.Her breath hitched.There were more than one. Three. No… four.The figures stepped into the dim moonlight, revealing monstrous, snarling wolves larger than any normal animal, their fur bristling with rage, their teeth gleaming like blades.Emma couldn’t move. Fear had her frozen in place. Her mind screamed at her to run, but her legs refused to obey.What… What were these creatur

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    The Warning

    Emma’s mind was a storm of emotions as she walked beside Ryker, still trying to process everything he had told her. Werewolves existed. He was one of them. And worse, she had spent the entire night in the forest with him, unconscious, while he protected her from creatures that shouldn’t even be real. It was too much. Her legs felt weak, her chest tight with panic.She wrapped her arms around herself, creating a barrier between them as they walked in silence. The morning air was crisp, the sky still tinged with soft hues of orange, but Emma felt no warmth. Only the cold grip of fear.Ryker didn’t speak. He simply walked beside her, his movements smooth and effortless. Despite the silence, she could feel his gaze on her, watching her every reaction. He was waiting for her to run, for her to scream, for her to accept him. But she did none of those things. She was too confused to react.Finally, she stopped walking. “I need answers.” Her voice was steady, but inside, she was trembling.Ry

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    Bloody Warning

    Emma couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. It started as a faint unease, a prickle at the back of her neck, like unseen eyes watching her every move. At first, she dismissed it as paranoia, blaming the strange events of the past few days Ryker, the rogue attack, waking up in the forest with him beside her. But as the hours passed, that feeling only grew stronger.She felt it while walking through the university corridors, the subtle shift of shadows in the corners of her vision, the whispers in the wind that faded the moment she turned around. She tried to ignore it, but the fear crawled under her skin like an unwelcome guest.Emma glanced over her shoulder. Nothing. The hallway was mostly empty, students rushing to their next class, chatting, laughing. Everything looked normal, yet she couldn’t shake the sensation of being watched.Taking a deep breath, she shook her head. “You’re overthinking, Emma,” she muttered to herself.But werewolves existed. Rogues existed. And

    Emma sat beside Ryker in the car, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her dress as the vehicle moved deeper into his territory. The road was lined with towering trees, their branches forming a natural tunnel that gave the path a mysterious yet peaceful look.
