ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 142: Must be hallucinating
SCARLETTMy hands were ruffling through my tangled curls and struggling to pull them into a bun for work when I heard my phone ping with a notification.Thinking that it was a text about the package I’d been waiting on for a week, I hurried to grab my phone off my bed. Only for my smile to fall when I saw that the text was from the worst person possible.Logan.Couldn't he wait a few more minutes until I was at work to ruin my day? I murmured to myself as I unlocked my phone.Logan: take the day off to get ready for the all-white party tonight. I’ll work from home.I blinked thrice. Then four more times before reading the text a second and third time to be sure I hadn't imagined the words. When I confirmed that they were real, I grabbed my pillow and screamed excitedly into it.I didn't dare question it, only the gods knew why Logan’s behavior was as questionable and unpredictable as it was, but I wasn't about to bug myself with the specifics when it was finally working in my favor.I
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 143: Gone Boy
LOGANI could hear my heartbeat drumming in my ears as it tripled.Something alerted me that Ashley could probably hear it too because she kept glancing away from the host she was just cornering into a deal to sneak frowns in my direction. I held her gaze and reminded myself of her beauty each time, just to convince myself that my picking heart rate was as a result of the endless love I had for her.But my wolf kept snickering at me like that couldn't be further from the truth.And then seconds later, I realized why he’d done that. A force that nearly crippled my entire being made me look towards the door and I dragged in a sharp breath that I nearly tripped on nothing. The startling after effect caused my champagne glass to slip and shatter at my feet.Scarlett in white was the most magnificent view I’d ever laid eyes on.As soon as I saw her walk into the hall, my heart rate skyrocketed and my senses dulled to every sight that wasn’t her and any sound that wasn't from her.Her slend
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 144: Shared Pains
LOGANThis was the perfect time to ask her, no doubt.I refused to overthink it, I went right to it as soon as the thought popped into my head. I’d put off asking about it for long enough just because I didn't want to come off as desperate.“As soon as we get to the office, I expect you to forward Mrs. Walsh’s personal contact details to me,” I ended up demanding instead of asking like I’d planned to.An unamused chuckle left her lips and then she adjusted her seatbelt so she could turn to fully face me. “If you're going to ask for the one thing no businessman has ever laid hands on that I happened to bag with ease, you should ask nicely.”The smug tone she chose made a nerve twitch in my temple, I could feel my annoyance rising to the brim. It was far too easy for her to get under my skin these days, I needed to fix that.“You work for me, for fuck’s sake. You should've sent that information to me the second you learned that it was nearly impossible to find because whatever fattens t

SCARLETTHe could’ve burnt to ashes, and yet he didn't seem to care.The cut that caused him to take a risk so life threatening wasn't even worth it. The fact that it was caused by a silver object must've startled him, but I was much stronger than he knew and I’d have healed anyway.I tried to explain that I could wait until we got to work, but he seemed far too concerned to wait.For someone who’d nearly emptied the air from my lungs twice out of anger, it was disturbing that he’d go under the scorching sun that triggered his curse just to clean a tiny injury.The only other person I’d seen him express such concern and care about was Ashley, so I wasn't sure what to think when he expressed it to me for the first time. Maybe I was overthinking things and Ashley had forced him to be nicer to me or something, that made much more sense than assuming that Logan genuinely cared about me.But aside from his unwarranted sacrifice, our nearness also struck a nerve I didn't know he was capable
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 146: Losing it
LOGAN“Do you understand what I need?” I asked Silas, my most trusted private investigator who was on the other end of the call.“Absolutely boss, I’m adding a trusted contact to the call now who’ll put you through what’s required of you,” he said just before I heard the beep that indicated that someone else had been added to the call.Just as Silas’s contact greeted me, my office door was pushed open, and a frowning Ashley walked in. She didn't give me her usual smile that brightened my day, instead, she refused to meet my eyes and headed to the couch in the corner of my office and plopped down on it.I could easily tell that she was upset, so as important as the call was, I knew I had to get off and find out who’d ruined my sweet Ashley’s mood.“Can we reschedule this call for the next ten minutes? An emergency just came up and I need to attend to it immediately,” I rushed out.“Ten minutes, no more,” came Silas’s contact’s impatient reply before the line went dead.I disregarded th
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 147: Wedding Dream
LOGANThe wedding procession was everything Ashley had dreamt of, I knew that because she’d gone off about her dream wedding countless times since we were teenagers.I was thrilled that she was finally getting what she deserved, especially since I was the reason she hadn't gotten it all these years. It made my heart absolutely full to know that she was experiencing a fraction of the immense happiness she effortlessly brought me.A veil was covering her stunning face as she repeated the wedding vows after the elder and my heart leaped for joy.When she was done, I wiped a tear away from my left eye and she chuckled at how emotional she made me before I started to repeat the vows after the elder as well. He joined our hands and the moonstone between us glowed to seal our matrimonial vows.“Do you both vow to be each other’s fated spouses in this life and every life after?” the elder asked the last question.“I do,” we chorused together, sounding giddy as hell.“You may kiss your Luna,”
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 148: Opening Up
SCARLETTI felt a presence overshadowing me, so heavily that it was impossible to ignore it and enjoy my sleep.When my wolf didn't stop bugging me to open my eyes, I finally hissed and opened them, only to be startled by the glinting eyes in the dark that were above me. Fear gripped me and I felt my entire body grow cold as I clutched my duvet like it could save me.A second later, the moon shone into my room, and the face of the person hovering above me was revealed.Logan.On instinct, I opened my mouth to scream but his huge palm pressed down on my lips and muffled the sound such that I could barely hear it. And if it was barely audible to me, no one in the house could hear and come to my aid.My entire body started to tremble on realizing that I was at Logan’s mercy, and from experience, that was the worst possible place I could be stuck in. Frantic at the thought of what he intended to do with me, I started to kick my feet and wiggle my body to get away from him but he easily ke

SCARLETTWhen I woke up this morning, there was coffee and a note resting on Alex’s beside table.From the note I gathered that he had a work trip so he left before I woke up and so he’d left me some coffee to start the day. I scribbled a short thank you note on the back of the paper and emptied my coffee before leaving his room.I purposely got ready in a hurry so that I wouldn’t have to go to work with Logan. After the way he ambushed me last night, I didn't care if the curse burnt him alive on his way to work. I’d much rather not see him until the murderous rage boiling within me calmed, else I’d kill him on behalf of the curse.So, to calm my rage, I planned to focus on the good that came out of last night; spending time with Alex and getting to know the real him, the one underneath that rigid and aggressive facade.That revelation didn’t miraculously make his wrongdoings vanish into thin air, but it chipped away some of the hostile feelings I’d been holding against him because I

ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS EPILOGUE
SCARLETT “How many minutes apart are your contractions?” “Can you feel the pups crowning already?” “Should I get the midwives?” My husbands circled around me like vultures readying their prey, asking me a million and one questions like I was not as clueless about childbirth as they were. They’d read a library worth of childbirth and parenting books from the moment I found out I was pregnant and yet they were as nervous as a completely ignorant parent would be. “Stop hovering over her, please,” Hyacinth sighed and rolled her eyes as she walked into the birthing room, “the birthing process will begin any moment and I’ll need you all to either be quiet and or absent so I can get to work.” They all murmured amongst each other before finally falling quiet. “I’m going to give you a mild anesthetic so you don’t feel a thing and sleep through it, alright?” she turned to me with a kind smile and I nodded. I felt nerves already wrecking my body upon hearing that, I was reminded of the c

LOGANThree long yet amazing months went by and the D-day finally arrived. I couldn’t believe that I was about to be married to Scarlett and it seemed that neither Blake nor Alex could believe it seeing how nervous they were while getting dressed for the ceremony. We’d watched her become the best version of herself in the last three months and judging from all the power and potential she radiated, even three Vaughn men might not be enough of a match for her. Still, I was beyond elated to see what a marriage as unique as ours had in store for us in the coming years. And for the rest of our lives. “I still can’t figure this shit out!” Blake whined as he wrongly knotted his tie for the hundredth time and Alex and I laughed at him. “If you’re too nervous to knot your tie, maybe you should just sit out the wedding ceremony,” Alex teased him. “Yeah, it’s a small wedding anyways. We’ll just add your name to the marriage certificate and crop you into the pictures for the wedding album,” I

SCARLETTWe did it? “Yeah, we fucking did it,” Logan’s excited response made me realize that I’d asked that question out loud instead of in my head as I’d assumed. “And that’s only because you had the balls to put yourself on the line when we weren’t willing to take that risk,” Alex added, flipping a pancake effortlessly with a slight tilt of the pan. Inwardly, I rolled my eyes at his stellar skills, wondering how he was able to pull that off when I couldn’t even do it while carefully using a frying spoon. “I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you’re no longer focused on our victory over the Shahato and you’re now hating on everyone that can make a proper pancake unlike you,” Blake said through a chuckle. I narrowed my eyes at him, picking a grape off my plate and throwing it at his head for teasing me. “Ow!” he exclaimed when it hit his forehead. “Serves you right,” I grinned before taking a generous bite of my sandwich. That led to back and forth banter, and as much a

SCARLETTAgain, they’d come to my rescue at the perfect moment.Unlike the last time, I refused to lose faith in them, so seeing them was more than an answered prayer, it was the confirmation of a truth I’d been steadfastly holding unto.I felt relief course through my entire body as the army pounced on the Shahato warriors, shifting to their wolf form and ripping our enemies apart before they had the chance to rejoice over my burnt corpse.Suddenly, the regret I felt when I was thrown into the portal that brought me here washed away and I was pleased with myself for following through with the baiting plan that brought us this far. I had a feeling that after this battle, we’d finally know peace and harmony instead of the chaos and despair we’d had to endure for months now.I was so lost in imagining a time of calm and quiet that I even forgot that fire was slowly creeping towards me as the altar behind me burnt away. It was when I smelt thick fumes suffocating me that I looked behind

LOGANI still felt shitty and stupid for how immature I’d acted when Scarlett disappeared behind that godforsaken portal.Blake didn’t deserve to be choked so heartlessly when all he did was keep me from breaking my foot to pieces—because believe me, that was my intention when I started kicking that rock. Yet, he’d stopped me from hurting myself foolishly and I repaid him like an absolute asshole.I knew I’d apologized, but it didn’t seem enough so I made a mental note in the back of my mind to make it up to him somehow after we rescued Scarlett.“Guys! Over here! Quickly!” Hyacinth called out to me and my brothers and we rushed to where she was bent over on the floor and holding a glass shard.“What did you find? Please give us some good news,” Alex practically begged as he crouched beside her.“Their sorcerer must’ve mistakenly dropped this while closing the portal in a hurry, and now I know exactly where those bastards took her,” she jumped to her feet and Alex followed suit.“Wher

ALEXFan–fucking–tastic!This bloody plan blew up in our faces just like I’d predicted it would. Those cunning bastards just zapped our mate through a portal and I couldn’t feel her through the bond from the moment they disappeared into it.I guessed that neither Blake nor Logan could feel her either because they equally seemed like they were going mad.“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck this!” Logan yelled on the top of his voice while kicking a rock repeatedly until I heard a toe snap and blood started to ooze from his boot.That didn’t stop him though, he kept spitting profanities and angrily kicking the rock until Blake ran towards him and dragged him away from the rock and set him on the floor.“What the hell is wrong with you, Logan? How the hell does that fix shit!?” Blake leaned forward, placing his hands on both knees while screaming right into Logan’s face.Instead od answering, Logan reached out and gripped Blake’s neck and started to twist it with rage burning in his eyes. I immediat

SCARLETTThe morning of the full moon had finally arrived, and just like everyone else, I hoped that things went according to plans.None of us could handle any surprises because the chances of the plan going smoothly hinged on us being in complete control. To ensure that nothing went wrong, Hyacinth got a team of sorcerers to cast truth spells on the army in a bid to uncover any hidden spies from the Shahatos.Once we confirmed that every warrior was loyal to us, we finally let them in on the plan for the first time since we’d hatched it.Afterwards, Blake and Alex guided them through morning drills and helped them memorize the parts of the plan they were instrumental to, Logan and I kept Hyacinth company while she and her group of sorcerers did a location spell.Unlike the former location spells they’d casted to locate me when I was captured, this was much more likely to work because she’d used the blood of the prisoners that were recently executed. She assured us that with a team o

SCARLETTOnce again, Hyacinth had to come to our aid.We rushed Alex home and called her to come by the house as soon as possible. After ten minutes that felt like an eternity, she finally arrived and got to work on speeding up his healing. She explained that he invested wolfsbane and that’s why he wasn’t healing even after Blake and Logan cleaned and bandaged his wounds properly as soon as we got home.Hyacinth fed him some potions, but when they didn’t work, she told us that the wolfsbane had been in his system for far too long so she would need a powerful spell to magically detox him of it so his wolf could heal.While she convened with the powers that be on the required spell for such a crucial procedure, I paced the entire room worriedly while saying prayers to the moon goddess and ignoring the words of comfort being thrown my way from Logan and Blake.For some reason, I still felt fractions of the fear and pain I felt when I thought he was going to take his life just to prove a

SCARLETTAn hour passed and I immediately rallied Logan and Blake into the car to go in search of Alex. The longer we went without being able to contact or find him, the more I regretted listening to Logan and Blake instead of my wolf.And now because of my negligence, we were all worried out of our minds for Alex.It was almost nightfall and neither of us could reach or find him still. And believe me, we’d tried everything we could possibly think of. Logan tried to track his phone but his men found it dumped in a roadside bin and had no other means of tracing where he went from there because the traffic cams in that area were all busted.After that dead end, we’d all gone around the city in search of him but we couldn’t pick up his scent talk less of find his car.Normally, we’d have assumed that he was just somewhere blowing off steam and stayed home to wait on him. But ever since the marking ritual, we had a much stronger bond and could feel each other’s emotions and a while ago we
