ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 176: What if…
The ground opening up to swallow me wouldn't be enough, I needed to dissipate into thin air and never re-materialize.“Logan! Are you in there!?” Ashley’s annoyed tone matched the aggressive banging on the door that followed.I wanted to scream my head off to ease the tension wrecking my nerves, but I knew that would only worsen things, so I clasped a hand over my mouth tightly and blinked at Logan repeatedly as my way of asking him for help in morse code.Weirdly, he seemed to understand and moved closer, leaning towards my ear to whisper.“Relax, I’ll fix this,” the determination in his voice wasn't enough to keep me grounded, because there was definitely no way out of the mess we’d landed in.To worsen things, Ashley banged the door even harder, like was seconds from breaking it to pieces just to reach him, and for a moment I wondered how she’d been harboring this psychotic behavior under the angelic exterior she showed everyone.“Are you ignoring me, Logan? If you're in there, you

ALEXOh happy day indeed.Everything was working perfectly today. I’d woken up well rested, breakfast had coincidentally been what I’d been craving all night, I’d just closed a deal that had stressed me for months, and now I was face to face with the woman whose face filled my dreams.Despite my phone getting cracked, the moment couldn't be more perfect.The deal I’d closed just minutes ago was such an amazing milestone for myself and my new business partner that we’d decided that a celebratory dinner would be required to officially seal the terms of the project.My business partner had suggested that I do him a favor and bring a date, that he's noticed during our interactions that I’ve been a bit stuck up and he’s certain that a woman’s touch would lighten me up.The only reason I didn't immediately turn down that idea was because Scarlett was the first person that came to mind and I knew her presence would definitely do wonders for me, I’d be fucking ecstatic and proud to have her o

LOGANOne fucking week in oblivion.That’s what being iced out by Scarlett felt like, and it was much worse because I was living with Ashley now and couldn't hope to bump into Scarlett at home and demand an explanation for her recent behavior towards me.Death would be a much kinder sentence than losing access to Scarlett, I and my wolf knew it, as did my vampire half. We craved her presence more than sanity, more than life itself, and though I saw her almost every day, she barely said a word to me, and it was driving me insane because getting the cold shoulder only made me want her more.For someone who’d offered me her wrist a week ago, her sudden switch in behavior was puzzling, maddening even.The worst part was that I couldn't find a way to get her alone so we could hash things out because Ashley seemed to be shadowing my every move. I’d texted Scarlett countless times so we could talk over the phone instead, but she didn't even bother to open my messages.All I got from her was

SCARLETTI blinked severally, disbelief blinding me where I stood.The scene played over and over in my head, but it still made no sense. I couldn't understand what Charles could’ve possibly done to deserve a punch that might as well killed him on the spot and my blood was boiling endlessly seeing that Logan didn't care that he’d unjustly knocked out an innocent man.Frozen in place, I recounted the events of the past few minutes in hopes of figuring out Logan’s twisted line of reasoning.Charles had approached me cheerily and stated that he recognized me from a youtube video where I’d done the makeup of five fashion idols under an hour for a vogue shoot while I was working for CTO and we’d immediately hit it off.He later revealed that he was an ex-makeup artist before he picked up fashion designing as a passion, but since he's been unable to make a stable career out of it, he's been using his sales degree to work at Logan’s firm while he saves up to open a business of his own.For t

SCARLETTI glanced at my wristwatch nervously for the millionth time. Was saying yes a bad Idea?“You seem nervous, baby,” Blake voiced my thoughts, “maybe you should just call and cancel, it’s not too late,” he advised.For a split second, I considered taking his advice, but after remembering how eager Alex had been when asking me to be his date, I decided to battle my nerves instead.“Nah, I’m fine,” I assured him, flashing him a small smile.A sigh left his lips and he looked around, probably checking to see if Alex’s car was anywhere in sight yet. I’d spent the morning at Blake’s cafe since I’d barely spent time with him all week and Alex was meant to pick me for the celebratory dinner that night.“You sure?” he sounds as jealous as he did a week ago when I mentioned the date and he had to cancel the weekend trip he was planning for us, “We could be somewhere in Hawaii loving on each other without any judging eyes.”The thought of freely exploring I and Blake’s insane romantic che

SCARLETTAfter Alex’s boob graze, I kept my guard up for the rest of the dress shopping.When he realized that I was being odd, he excused himself and allowed the attendant tend to me while I chose a dress. That gesture of giving me space even when he’d have preferred to stay with me warmed my heart like every other gentlemanly act he’d expressed that night.I found the perfect dinner dress after two tries and a glam team was sent in to get me ready while an attendant informed me that Alex was getting dressed as well.Alex returned when the glam team was doing finishing touches and from the look of absolute wonder in his eyes I could tell that I looked gorgeous. He was an equally marveling sight in his dark blue suit and I particularly loved how handsome he looked with his hair sleeked back.As soon as the glam team left, he walked towards me with an adoring smile.“It’s my night yet you'll definitely be the star of the show,” he reached for my hand, lifting it to his lips for a linge

SCARLETTI rolled my eyes at the compliment despite how my throat dried up from our closeness.“Get out of my way, Logan,” I shrugged his hands off my shoulder.“I came here for you, you know that right?” he completely blocked my path with his huge frame instead of honoring my rude request.“I’m sure you have regrets now, realizing that that was a pointless endeavor and I have no intention of paying you any attention,” I shot him a mean glare, my words dripping with defiance.“On the contrary,” he flashed me a devilishly charming smile, moving closer, “I have absolutely no regrets about tonight, getting to witness your marveling beauty in that dress alone is enough to consider the night a success.”“Delusional prick,” I hissed before trying to move around him to leave.A hand grabbing my wrist and pulling me flush against him proved that he wasn't willing to let me go yet.“Tell me, why have you been cold to me for the past week? I need to know,” the desperation in his voice was hard

LOGANFor no less than five minutes, I’d been the object of Ashley’s hawklike gaze.I’d just gotten back from Alex’s celebratory dinner and I hoped she wasn't staring at me because she could sense another woman’s scent on me. Against my will, I’d rid myself of Scarlett’s scent as soon as we walked out of the restroom, but Ashley had a way of sensing that I was being insincere by simply reading my body language.I was being as unsuspicious as possible as I got out of my suit and into a sleepwear, but the foremost thought in the back of my mind was how badly I’d have loved to leave Scarlett’s scent on my clothes so I could bask in it for as long as I pleased.I fought back the sigh that threatened to leave my lips at the thought and turned to face Ashley.“Come on, let’s go to bed, we’ve both had a tiring day,” I started to pull the duvet lower to climb into bed as I spoke.From the pointed look she had trained on me, I knew she wasn't ready to call it a night yet. I could see a million

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.

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
