ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 195: I don’t share those feelings
SCARLETT“Drop me off at the first bar we see on the way,” I told the taxi driver as I got into the back seat.Luckily, I was dressed in a pair of joggers that had a ten dollar note and I had my phone with me, so I didn't have to add being stranded and penniless to my long list of current burdens. It didn't take long before we stopped at a bar and brunch spot and I paid the driver before heading in and going straight to the bar area.“Give me your strongest drink,” I told the bartender and he rose a concerned brow in my direction before nodding.“You drinks are on me, you’re the prettiest girl that's walked in here today,” he winked before disappearing behind the thick shelves of liquor.The only reason I didn't walk out of the bar after being hit on while I was in the worst mood was because I didn't have the energy or cash to do so, so I just mounted a barstool and allowed my mind wander as I waited for the drink.God, I felt like a home wrecking, backstabbing bitch.First, it was Ma
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 196: A Sham
SCARLETTI think about it every breathing moment, and each time I long for a repeat.That drunken kiss with Logan from a week ago was somehow forged into my soul and burnt into my memory. I’ve never wanted to forget anything like I wanted to forget it, each time I remembered it, I was instantly wet because I was reliving how hard and throbbing he as underneath me as I straddled him.More than anything, I knew he was the most forbidden fruit of the bunch compared to his other brothers, but that somehow made me crave him even more day after day.The worst part was that I couldn't even get him out of my system by getting railed relentlessly until I was sore because Blake was awfully busy and we mostly talked on the phone of late. I needed to drown this need for his touch one way or the other else it’d drive me insane.It doesn't help matters that my guilt about him breaking off his engagement with Ashley after listening to office gossip in the lunch room over the week. Apparently, Ashley
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 197: You shouldn't touch what’s mine
SCARLETT “You sure about that, darling?” his voice is laced with the same lust burning a hole in my guts when he speaks. I halted and my fingers slid off the door on realizing that he wants it just as badly as I do. “Look at me, Scarlett,” he urged, and as though I’d been waiting for that very command, my legs started to move of their own accord until I was facing him again. Our eyes locked, his darkening with desire while I struggled not to look below his waistline and ogle his cock. Nothing could possibly make me change my mind at this point, I was spiraling with need and he was the only one that could quench it. To give him an invitation, I decided to take a bold move and match his appearance. Slowly, I peeled my sweater off and with every inch of my body that was being exposed to him, he visibly started to harden. By the time I pulled it over my bare boobs, he was rock hard and I could see the veins on his cock pulsing in reaction to me. I was soaking wet where I stoo
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 198: Worst Day of my Life
SCARLETTUnlike me who was seconds from shitting my pants, Alex wasn't fazed in the slightest.“Get away from my fucking door or I’ll be hurling your dead body out of this house soon enough!” Alex yelled back, seeming way too infuriated for someone that should want nothing but sex from me.Why did it suddenly seem like they all wanted more? All at the same time? It was causing me to hyperventilate inwardly.“I dare you to come out so we can find out whose dead body will be marched out of the house tonight! I bloody dare you!” Logan banged the door, growling like he was eager to kill his omw n brother to stake a claim on me.I wanted to scream that I didn't belong to anyone, that I wasn't worth the trouble they were stirring up, but my voice was completely lost as though I wasn't moaning loudly moments ago.“Alex! Alex! Come out here this second!” the violent kick that landed on the door made me nearly jump out of my skin.Consequently, I started to visibly shake with fear, trembling l
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 199: Considerate Logan
SCARLETTAs soon as Blake dashed towards a groaning Alex, my mom grabbed my arm harshly and yanked me out of the room.I tried to pull away from her grasp but she tightened it, murmuring obscenities under her breath as she nearly broke my bones and bruised my flesh from sinking her claws into me. No matter how hard I tried to pull away, she held on tighter until she pushed me into her closet room and slammed the door shut behind us.When I looked down at the bruises on my arm, I winced, my heart physically ripping to shreds at the fact that my own mother could inflict that kind of pain on me when she equally wasn't a saint.“For a blabbermouth that keeps acting like she is the statue of liberty herself because of some morals you won’t shut up about, it’s really bold of you to be spreading your legs for your stepbrother,” she spat angrily, regarding me with disgust.Those words cut through me deeply, especially seeing as she was trying to justify her fraudulent behavior by throwing my
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 200: Always With You
SCARLETTWe arrived at Blake’s penthouse a while ago and I was sulking at the kitchen counter while he made me some coffee.I tried my hardest to focus on the thoughtful and kind man who was offering me his care and support when he should've turned his back on me, but it was hard to do so without my mind drifting off to the reason why we ended up in this messed up situation in the first place….My insatiable libido.Everything was suddenly upside down. All my fears were realized in one night because I sacrificed common sense for a moment of pleasure. I was officially the family whore in everyone’s eyes, and my mother had shown how much she truly despised me.I’d assumed that at this point in my life I’d be soaring on eagles wings as regards my career, but instead I was stuck between the conflicting emotions I felt for three brothers who should've been nothing but family to me.I wanted to console myself by convincing myself that those complicated emotions could be sorted out, that I c
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 201: Not Again
LOGANNot again.Sometime around midnight, I started stirring in bed, awoken by the pain of my mate being in yet another man’s arms. Off the top of my head I knew the culprit was Blake because Alex was too injured to cross me again by laying a finger on her this soon.However, I was enraged at the fact that Blake had watched me nearly beat Alex to death and issue a warning that no one should breathe in her direction but he still went ahead to bed her on the same night.What did I have to do to make those assholes realize the severity of their actions? Would I have to mark Scarlett against her will so they’d know she belonged to me and only me?The sun was up now and no matter how many texts and calls I shot Scarlett’s way, she refused to speak to me or disclose her location. Even the mate bond wasn't able to pick up her location and the curse wouldn't let me comb the city to find her.I was dying to be near her, I’d forgiven her for sleeping with both my brothers in the same night eve
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 202: Should I tell him?
SCARLETTGod, Logan was a toddler with terrible twos, throwing tantrums here and there.“How about you leave here and stop causing ruckus everywhere you go? Wasn't the storm you stirred last night enough!?” I yelled, lucky that the empty cafe allowed me to fully express my growing anger at him.He moved away from Blake, his face falling at my reprimand as he took a few steps towards me.From the way he was scrutinizing me from head to toe, I couldn't tell if he was trying to gauge how I was faring or admiring my looks. Judging from the baggy joggers and hoodie I had on alongside my messy bun and eye bags, I could tell that it was the latter.I didn't let his concern for me serve as an excuse for his short tempered behavior though.“You’re slowly starting to make me hate the sight of you because you bring unwanted drama everywhere you go by thinking you can fix every problem by wielding your fists,” I continued when he remained silent, refusing to hold back in the slightest.I needed a

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
