The evening breeze carried a gentle chill, rustling the leaves in Emma’s backyard. Mia and Emma stood near the wooden fence, chatting softly. Emma was trying her best to steer Mia’s thoughts away from the tension of earlier events. She had just managed to get Mia to smile when the sound of hurried footsteps caught their attention.

Emma’s eyes widened in surprise as a familiar figure emerged from the shadows. “Oh no,” she whispered under her breath.

Mia turned toward the approaching figure and blinked in surprise. “David?”

David Miller, one of Mia’s classmates from her previous university, stood a few steps away, looking slightly nervous but determined. His sandy brown hair was neatly combed, and he clutched a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

“I-I hope I’m not interrupting,” David said, his voice shaking slightly. He looked between Mia and Emma, his gaze lingering on Mia with an expression of admiration.

Emma stepped back instinctively, her heart racing. She glanced nervously toward t

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    David POV

    David sat on the wooden bench, his hands clasped tightly as he stared at the empty pathway in front of him. The soft rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze filled the air, but his heart was pounding too loudly to let him focus on the serene surroundings. She was coming. Mia. The girl who had been his quiet muse for years, the one who had unknowingly stolen his heart the moment he laid eyes on her back in university.The confession he had made to her earlier had been a mix of courage and desperation. Seeing her after so long, he couldn’t hold it back anymore. And now, she had agreed to meet him here, alone. He told himself it meant something that she cared enough to hear him out.When he finally spotted her approaching, David’s breath caught in his throat. Mia always had this effortless glow about her. She wore a simple dress, her hair flowing loosely, and yet she looked like she belonged to another world. But there was something in her cautious steps, the way she glanced around as th

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    A Heated Discussion

    David stood in the middle of Emma’s living room, his hands balled into fists at his sides. The tension in the air was thick, almost suffocating. Across from him, Mia’s four step brothers Aiden, Liam, Zander, and Matthew stood in a line, their imposing figures casting long shadows against the dimly lit walls."So, you’re the guy," Aiden said, his voice calm but laced with an edge that hinted at his annoyance. His piercing gaze drilled into David, who refused to look away.David squared his shoulders, refusing to be intimidated. "Yes, I’m the guy. The one who cares about Mia enough to stand here and talk to you, even though you’ve clearly decided you don’t like me."Zander let out a low chuckle, stepping forward with a smirk. "You think you care about her? You barely know her. We’ve been protecting her . Where were you then?"David’s jaw tightened, but he held his ground. "I’ve known her long enough to see the kind of person she is kind, selfless, and strong. And I care about her future

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    Encounter

    Mia stepped into the spacious living room, the soft glow of the evening light filtering through the tall windows. Her heart thumped loudly as she glanced around, only to find Zander lounging on the couch, his dark eyes fixed on her. Aiden was leaning against the doorway, his arms crossed, a faint smirk playing on his lips.“Mia,” Zander greeted, his voice low and smooth. The way he said her name sent a shiver down her spine.She swallowed hard, trying to maintain her composure. "Zander. Aiden. I thought you’d be busy."Zander’s smile deepened, and he patted the space on the couch beside him. "Come sit with us. We’ve been waiting for you."Mia hesitated. There was something in his gaze, something intense and almost predatory. She glanced at Aiden, who hadn’t taken his eyes off her since she walked in.“Don’t make him ask twice,” Aiden said, his tone teasing but firm.She walked slowly toward the couch, feeling the heat of their stares on her. Her body betrayed her, every nerve ending t

    The house felt heavier than usual, as if the walls themselves could feel the tension brewing between the Hawthorne brothers. Mia sat on the couch, trying to steady her breath. She could sense something was about to happen, something she couldn’t stop. The brothers had been quiet since the previous night’s encounter, but their silence was loud with unspoken words.Zander leaned against the kitchen counter, his jaw tight. Aiden stood beside him, his arms crossed, eyes sharp. Across from them, Liam and Matthew sat at the dining table, their expressions a mix of frustration and concern. Mia felt the weight of their gazes, even though none of them were looking directly at her.Finally, Liam broke the silence. “We need to talk about last night.”Zander straightened, his body taut like a bowstring. “What about it?”“You know what,” Matthew said, his voice calm but firm. “This isn’t just about you or Aiden. It’s about all of us.”Mia’s stomach twisted. She didn’t want to hear this. She didn’t

    Mia woke up in the middle of the night, gasping for air. The dream was still vivid in her mind, her father’s face, his kind yet stern voice. He had looked at her with both love and sadness, saying, “You must do what’s right, Mia. Remember who you are.” His words lingered in her heart, heavy like a stone. She sat on the edge of her bed, staring into the darkness, her chest tight with guilt and confusion.She couldn’t keep living like this feeling torn between what her heart wanted and what her conscience screamed was wrong. Her feelings for her stepbrothers weren’t something she had planned or wanted, yet they consumed her, leaving her feeling lost. And then there was her mother, who had finally found happiness with Victor. Could Mia risk destroying that happiness?“I need to leave,” Mia whispered to herself, the words barely audible. Her voice cracked as tears slid down her cheeks. She wiped them quickly, determined to hold herself together. Grabbing a small bag, she started packing

  • Caged with Four Step Brothers    Flashback

    Mia’s eyes fluttered open in the middle of the night, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths. The moonlight spilled into her room, illuminating the scattered thoughts in her mind. She pressed a hand against her heart, trying to calm the erratic beats that echoed through her body. Sleep was impossible tonight. Her emotions were too tangled, her feelings toward the brothers too confusing to sort out.She sat up, hugging her knees, and stared out of the window. The cool night air seeped through the cracks, whispering against her skin. It reminded her of something she had tried to suppress a conversation she had with her mother, Sarah, just before moving into Victor’s estate.The memory came rushing back, vivid and sharp, as if it had happened just yesterday.“Mia, sweetheart, sit down,” Sarah had said, her voice unusually serious. Mia had paused mid-step, turning to face her mother. Sarah’s expression wasn’t the warm, loving one she was used to. Instead, it was filled with worry

    Mia felt like an outsider in her own life. Every step she took in the Hawthorne estate felt heavy, as though the weight of four pairs of eyes was constantly on her. The brothers weren’t making things any easier. Their presence was suffocating yet magnetic, drawing her in despite the overwhelming tension simmering between them.Aiden was the most obvious about it, his protective nature showing in the way he hovered around her, always finding excuses to stay close. Whether it was offering her a glass of water when she didn’t ask or positioning himself in the room like a silent guardian, his actions spoke louder than words. Mia appreciated his kindness, but his watchful gaze made her feel like a fragile doll under constant surveillance.“Do you always have to keep such a close eye on me?” she finally asked one evening, unable to keep the question to herself anymore.Aiden looked at her, his eyes softening. “I just want to make sure you’re okay, Mia.”“I’m fine,” she insisted, though her

    The Hawthorne mansion buzzed with an energy that was both intoxicating and unsettling. In the living room, the four brothers sat together, a rare sight that spoke volumes of the gravity of the situation. Aiden leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees, while Liam lounged back, a smug grin tugging at his lips. Matthew, calm and composed as always, tapped his fingers rhythmically against the armrest of his chair, and Zander stood by the window, staring out into the night with a scowl.“She’s our mate,” Aiden said finally, breaking the tense silence. His voice carried a mixture of awe and frustration, his hands clenched into fists.“No,” Liam corrected, his grin widening. “She’s not just your mate. She’s our mate.”Aiden shot him a glare. “This isn’t something to joke about, Liam.”“I’m not joking,” Liam said, his tone light but his eyes serious. “It’s the truth, whether you like it or not.”Matthew sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “This complicates everything.

The scent of fresh flowers and burning incense filled the air, making the moment feel almost surreal.Jaxon stepped forward, his expression serious yet proud. “Tonight, we welcome our Luna, Emma, into our pack. Though she is human, she carries the heart of a wolf, and she will stand beside our Alpha as our leader.”A chorus of howls filled the room, making Emma’s chest tighten with emotion. She wasn’t used to such grand celebrations, especially not one centered around her.

    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. She swallowed hard, her heart pounding faster with every passing second.Ryker reached over and gently took her hand, lacing his fingers through hers. “Relax, love,” he murmured, his deep voice soothing. “You have nothing to worry about. They’re going to love you.”Emma forced a smile, but the nerves wouldn’t go away. She wasn’t just meeting his pack, she was stepping into an entirely different world. A world where she was the only human.The car slowed as they neared a tall iron gate.

    The tension in the air was thick as Emma’s father, Dreke Steven, sat in his grand study, his sharp gaze fixed on Ryker. The hunting trip had been grueling, a test of patience, skill, and sheer willpower. But Ryker had proved himself. He didn’t just survive, he dominated. He showed Emma’s brothers that he wasn’t just an Alpha King by title but a man who could stand his ground, protect what was his, and never back down.Now, the final decision rested with her father.Emma stood beside her father’s chair, her hands curled together anxiously.

Her fingers fidgeted with the hem of the oversized shirt she had thrown on his shirt.Ryker, lying lazily against the pillows, watched her with a smirk. “What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” His voice was deep, smooth, but there was an edge of curiosity in his tone.Emma hesitated before speaking. “Only David knows about us.” Her voice was soft, unsure. “My father and my brothers… they don’t know anything yet.”Ryker’s smirk faded slightly, his blue eyes narrowing as he sat up. “And your mother?”Emma opened her mouth to respond but felt a sharp sting in her chest.
