ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 220:
SCARLETTDespite the constant attention and affection I was getting from the older Vaughn brothers, I was bothered by the lack thereof from the youngest.Blake hadn't picked my calls or responded to my texts in days and whenever I was home, he was always out. He wasn't even sleeping at home so I couldn't ambush him at night, but the fact that I picked up the faint hint of his scent every now and then was proof that he was popping in and out.The Blake I knew and had come to cherish would always keep me updated, he’d never fail to stop by my room and tell me how long he’ll be out and when to expect him, so it became glaring that he was avoiding me and it unsettled me.Had he grown bored of me? Had he realized what a smoking hot catch he was and moved on to another woman? Had he become weary of contesting for my affection with his brothers when he could just find better elsewhere?Call me greedy, selfish, conceited, or whatever word described my endless pining for all three Vaughn broth
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 221: Planning a date with two brothers
BLAKEThat cocky motherfucker, Lucas Shahato. How dare he?Ever since he gave me another week’s extension to deliver Scarlett to our pack, he’s been breathing down my neck in passive aggressive ways that were driving me crazy. He had men tailing me every second of the day, so I had no choice but to keep Scarlett at arm’s length to protect her.I knew fully well that the failsafe plan if I didn’t succeed was to ambush and kidnap her, and I worried that if she was around me as often as usual, they’d take matters into their own hands and proceed with plan B.It sickened me to imagine the traumatic experiences she’d have to endure if she was forced to pass through a blood moon ritual, one that put her life at risk if she bled out before the ritual’s completion.I would immediately follow her to the grave if she suffered such inhumane treatment because I lured her in with a web of lies, and for the rest of the afterlife, I’d be a slave at her mercy to earn her forgiveness.That was a lesse

SCARLETT“I love what you’ve done with the place,” I looked around in awe, noticing the warm tones that replaced the off white theme of Blake’s living room.“You mentioned preferring warmer tones while we were flipping through an IKEA magazine weeks ago so I wanted to make this place feel more like home,” he answered thoughtfully, but it bothered me that his eyes were anywhere but on me.That had been going on while we drove here as well, he kept his eyes on the road and kept acting nervous and antsy.“That’s really sweet, baby, but your presence made it feel like home every single time I’ve been here,” I flashed him a sweet smile that he didn’t catch because he still wasn’t looking my way.He moved around the living room awkwardly before opening his mouth to respond, “I lo—”“Nah,” I cut in, “I can’t take a word that leaves your lips seriously unless you tell me why you’ve acting all since we left home,” I marched towards him as I spoke.The moment I reached him, I grabbed both sides

SCARLETTTheir shocked expressions contradicted their visible erections in those beach shorts.As for me, I was reveling in the ego boost of having two insanely attractive and bulkily built men at the tip of my fingers to tease as I pleased. I’d long discarded the plans to go skinny dipping from the second my strip tease started to stir a heated desire between myself and them.Now, I needed nothing more than to be fucked into a blinding orgasm. By both men.It seemed like they shared the same need, but they were too chicken to embrace it. The massive erections stating back at me were making my mouth water, and I tried to encourage them to come to me by seductively fondling my nipples while juggling holding eye contact with each man.Soon enough, they both seemed like the restraint they were exercising was causing them physical pain. Blake was constantly shifting, adjusting his shorts and shuffling his feet in the sand as of he needed to plant them there else he’d pounce on me—but that
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 224: I can't handle this
LOGANBlake and Alex? What in the fucking Karma sutra was that about!?I nearly begged the moon goddess to take my life from the excruciating pain I felt as Scarlett had her fill of my brothers wherever they were hidden away. Before now, the pain my wolf felt when she was with one person was already brutal enough, so when the pain doubled because they were two, I thought I’d seen the gates of hell open.By the time they were done and the pain subsided, I was completely livid.Scarlett might be stubborn and eager to narrow her selection process by testing out dangerous waters, but Alex and Blake owed me some form of loyalty as my brothers that should require them to keep their cocks out of my mate while she figures things out.But no, those headless bastards had to make things worse by sharing her. The mere audacity to do so was burning a hole in my skull as an overwhelming rage filled me. I was still spiraling with an array of livid thoughts when I heard Alex’s car horn to indicate th

SCARLETTA morning that started with me in high spirits now had me deep in the dumps.Of course, I owe special thanks to Logan for that. For always sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and trying to lay claim over me despite the countless times I’ve made it clear that I didn't belong to him, or anyone else for that matter.The entire ruse downstairs kept replaying in my head as I got dressed for work, and if I wasn't worried that his heavily packed Monday schedule would suffer if he wasn't present at the office in person, I’d skip work just to show him how upset I was.But tantrums like that were far too childish, especially since I cared about him despite his rash reaction.That didn't mean he wouldn't get the cold shoulder at work today though, I wasn't going to reward bad behavior because he’d somehow cultivated an irreversible spot in my heart. I’d made the rash decision to even add a cherry by going to work without him when I heard a soft knock on my door.Logan’s scent and

BLAKEThirty six.Wathoni left me thirty six fucking missed calls in less than an hour, and I had hundreds more from elders and other concerned members of the pack.My head was overheating and my vision was blurred from how little sleep I’d gotten in the past week. Sleepless nights hadn't helped me find a plausible solution to my problem, and now that the deadline to deliver Scarlett was tomorrow, I knew I was royally screwed.Just then, my phone started to buzz again, and for the first time since our last meeting, Lucas Shahato was contacting me.Frustrated and overstimulated, I grabbed the phone without thinking and threw it across my office, feeling relieved that I’d gotten rid of the noise as I watched it shatter and drop to the floor. My relief didn't last long though, because my landline started to ring seconds later.Pleased with the last results, I grabbed it and yanked the connecting wires out of the plug and smashed it as well to stop the noise.Once silence finally fell aro

BLAKEDid he think a mere beastly transformation could scare me into obedience? What a fucking joke.In the Vaughn household, I’d seen worse monsters. In fact, I was raised by one, so his true form did nothing to change my earlier stance. If he liked, he could sprout two extra head and become a Cerberus, I’d never give up Scarlett even if it meant fighting him to the death.“You have a face as wretched and as ugly as your soul, suits you,” I commented in a mocking tone, showing him that I wasn't the type to be rattled by fear.His disgusting face twisted in anger at first, then it relaxed as though something had just dawned on him. It sort of pissed me off that I wasn't able to rile him up as much as I wanted to.“I wear both my soul and face with pride like the king that I am,” he boasted, a distorted smile playing on his face, “It’s too bad you won’t be alive to watch me rule since you've foolishly decided to be on the wrong side.”That was not a subtle threat, it was clear that he

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
