ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 158: Fighting Brothers
ALEXScarlett’s worries doubled as mine, and I wouldn't rest until they were eased.I was pooling all my contacts and resources to track down whoever made an attack on her life because I couldn’t lose her when she was finally warming up to me. Though it was happening slowly, it filled my heart with glee because I assumed that she’d never look at me again.My mind was replaying memories of the night she slept in my room and I was genuinely on cloud nine as I walked towards my car. However, my mood quickly morphed to annoyance when I spotted Logan stepping out of his car and heading towards the house.Stubbornly, I walked back and blocked the entrance to the house.“Get out of my way, Alex, I don’t have time for your rubbish,” he sighed tiredly, rubbing his temple like I was giving him a headache.Honestly, I hoped so.“What do you know about Scarlett having any enemies in the workplace? There was an attempt on her life recently and I’m not interested in beating about the bush, so tell
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 159: You want your mate
LOGANThat love-blind bastard.How dare Alex accuse me of having feelings for Scarlett when I was trying my hardest to stay true to Ashley? He deserved that punch and it should’ve been harder since it didn’t knock some proper sense into him.I kept fuming as I replayed the entire scene in my head while following my father to his office. I was born pissed that someone had made an attempt on Scarlett’s life a while ago and I was only just finding out, plus Alex’s audacity to spew rubbish in my face when he was the one dying to kiss the ground she walked on.If father didn’t tear us apart, I’d have beaten him into a pulp so he’d never accuse me of bullsjit like that again.Who the hell did he think he was!?“Logan,” my father breathed calmly as he settled into the couch in his office while I was shutting the door behind me.“Yes, father,” I answered tightly, only to see that he’d patted the space beside him for me to sit.As soon as I took my seat, he looked at me closely, almost as thou
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 160: Becoming a fool
LOGANLike the fool I’d become, I couldn’t stop thinking about Scarlett.Every minute of every day, thoughts of her were burning through my mind mercilessly and I didn't know how do get rid of them. I’d made an effort to spend more time with Ashley and as little time as possible around Scarlett outside work but that didn't help matters because when she wasn't near, I was yearning for her presence like a lovesick puppy.Ashley and I were still unable to do anything sexual because I still couldn't get an erection around her no matter what we tried, and she was started to get irritable about it.We still kissed every now and then, and I pleasured her alone so she could get her release but the only person in my head the entire time was Scarlett and I hated how much I wished that I was touching her instead.I felt like I was slowly going mad because Ashley’s touch that used to bring me so much happiness and peace had started to get somewhat annoying, especially when I didn't expect it. I d
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 161: True Feelings
LOGANThe pool was pretty deep, so my heart shattered to bits when I spotted Scarlett at the bottom of it.As I saw the state she was in, my chest began to close and judging from the fact that I was holding my breath and how little time I’d been in the pool, I knew it wasn't directly happening to me but an extension of the pain Scarlett was feeling.I swam faster towards her but the pain kept worsening by the second and I could feel her life slipping away through the mate bond.The pain I’d felt weeks ago when her touch saved me paled in comparison to the pain of feeling the bond slowly being severed because my mate was hanging unto her life by a thread. But this time, I allowed the pain to fuel my determination to save her rather than be the reason I lost her.My wolf gave me as much strength as he could muster and I forced myself to swim towards her and gather her limp body in my arms before swimming to the surface and placing her on the floor.Once her back touched the floor, I tri
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 162: Truer Feelings
SCARLETTI heard a loud thump beside me before my eyes fully opened.When I turned to my side and saw that it was Logan’s body that had made that sound as he passed out, I quickly got to my feet in hopes that I could somehow help him regain consciousness. After a closer look at him, I saw that there was a disturbing amount of blood around his chest and his fingers and my panic went through the roof.I couldn’t imagine what he did in order to wake me up that resulted in so much blood.“Logan! Logan talk to me, are you okay!?” I hovered over him, searching for a pulse with a shaky voice and even shakier fingers.“Get your filthy hands off my man! Right now, you classless whore!” Ashley yelled from behind me while her heels clacked loudly as she ran towards us.She was currently the least of my problems so I ignored her and continued to frantically search for a pulse to put my mind at ease.Barely a second later, Ashley grabbed me by my hair and shoved me aside, “Were you deaf when I ask
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 163: Kill Her
LOGANAs weak as I was, I knew I had to go after Ashley so she wouldn't do anything rash.I quickly got into the bathroom and washed off the blood on my body and hands before slipping into fresh clothes. The entire time, my wolf was asking me to let her go, that it was high-time we freed both her and myself of the endless emotional turmoil that our relationship had became in the past month.But I couldn't bear to, all the promises I’d made to her since we were teenagers were echoing constantly in my head and I couldn't let them all go to dust. Ashley had given me her all; mind, body, and soul, and the gods knew that she deserved the same from me despite the disruptions the mate bond had caused.I still wasn’t sure how I could rectify the damage that had been done today after how I sacrificed my life for another woman before her and she figured out that Scarlett was my mate, but I couldn't just sit idly by.“Oh, sorry,” Scarlett rushed when I bumped into her right outside my door.Inst
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 164: Help
SCARLETT“I’d look stunning as a pregnant woman,” Emma flaunted her brunch bump in her black body con dress, “Say no, and I’ll have your head.”I looked her dead in the eye and dared her, “No.”“The only reason you’re not choking on your blood right now is because you paid for brunch and this baby bump wouldn't be possible without all the steak you pumped into me,” she said, holding her sunglasses down so I could see into what were meant to be terrifying eyes.“Let’s not forget the four beef burgers you ate as appetizers,” I reminded her in a teasing tone, as though I didn't have the same thing.Whatever string of curses left her lips left flew over my head because my attention was caught by something else. Or rather, someone else.A man with a cigarette held to his lips was leaning against the wall inches away from us and staring right into my soul with his reddened eyed. His lips were dark and chafed, his clothes weren't dirty but they looked worn out and had tears that exposed his
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 165: All part of the plan
BLAKEHome, sweet, home.I dragged in a breath of fresh air as I shut my car door and smiled softly to myself as my pack’s hideout came into full view. Diligently, I followed due process by switching off my phone and placing it in the security metal box for guest’s gadgets.My pack—more specifically, my maternal pack which I was the rightful Alpha to—has been in hiding since I learnt of them, and so it was routine to always switch off my device when I arrived at their hideout. I had a family that enjoyed snooping around because they had the resources to and I knew all hell would break loose if my father found out through my location history that I’d been frequenting a place that was unlisted on the city’s map.I didn't want to dwell on how much worse things would get if he then realized that the unlisted place was actually home to my mother’s pack because I was now walking through the second and most heavily guarded gate and being greeted by the guards.“Keep up the good work,” I wave
