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

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

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

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

ALEXWalking out of the board room with another international talent signed to my company meant my net worth had risen yet again.“Brilliant presentation,” Mr Santos, the talent manager shook my hand firmly.Just as the foreign investors trailed out of the board room and began to engage me in a conversation, my secretary slipped me my phone and I glanced at it out of habit.However, two notifications from Scarlett caught my eye and from simply looking at it something in my guts alerted me of its urgency and I walked away from the men clamoring for my attention after simply holding up a finger; the universal signal for ‘excuse me’.After unlocking my phone, I saw a missed call from Scarlett, followed by a voicemail. I quickly played the voicemail, pressing the speaker to my ear.“Help!” I heard her frantically scream, sounding like she was crying while panting heavily, and from the shattering sound that followed, I could tell that her phone had dropped.My entire body was reverberating

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
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 293
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
