ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 226: A Beast
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

SCARLETT“Shit. Shit. Shit!”I woke up in a frenzy, nearly toppling over the pillows stuffed on every corner of my bed and falling on my forehead. I ran to my wardrobe, rubbing my eyes and cursing myself for oversleeping knowing that mom would talk my head off for it.As I scanned quickly through my dresses, I recalled how mom had hammered on how important it was for me to be up as early as 6am to represent the family at a charity event she’d worked her ass off for as head of committee.I sighed, feeling horrible that I slept through my alarm.When I didn’t find the cocktail dress I was in search of, I just closed my eyes and grabbed the first dress my hand touched before throwing a robe over my underwear and turning towards the bathroom for a shower.I’d just pushed the door open when I heard a knock on my door.“Logan?” I asked even though the mate bond was already feeling strengthened from his nearness.“Yeah, can I come in?” he asked, the sweet scent of pancakes sifting through th
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 229: What lovemaking feels like
LOGANIs this what love making felt like? Having one’s soul and body bound by a force greater than life itself?Scarlett’s fingers had stolen their way under my shirt and were rubbing my chest in a way that made my cock twitch with need. I deepened the kiss, nearly melting when her moan of approval rang in my ears.“You sound fucking sexy, always,” I said, trailing kisses along her jawline while she teased the band of my shorts with her fingers, “how do you do that, baby?”I heard the smile in the moan that followed somehow, and both my bulge and heart swole in response.“I was thinking...” her breath hitched before it fanned hotly against my ear, all in reaction to me pressing a palm over her throbbing fold through her panties, “we could still take that bath…” the rise and fall of her chest was enough telling of what she was implying.“Of fucking course,” I agreed readily, pulling her to her feet in a split second.She giggled at my enthusiasm as I led her towards the bathroom, and t
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 230: I shouldn't feel this
ALEXI couldn’t stop thinking about it, especially since it should be impossible.The charity event Blake and I had attended in Scarlett’s stead was boring as hell, but what made it truly hellish were the occasional painful pangs jabbing at my insides every now and then.At first, I thought the event was so boring that my body was physically reacting to it. But later on, I started to have flashes of memories I shouldn’t be privy to, blurred flashes of intertwined bodies that were engrossed in heated love making.With each memory flash came a deeper pain than the last.I had to steal away to the bathroom to dunk my face in water and relieve myself of the hot flashes, and the moment I pulled my face out from under the tap, it was like the scales fell from my eyes and the blurred images became slightly clearer.At least clear enough to show that the persons whose sexual act was disrupting my day were none other than Logan and Scarlett.Irritation. Jealousy. Fury.All of those emotions wo

SCARLETT Tomorrow, everything would be fine. Mom and I had been rehearsing her confession for the past four days or so, and we’d finally gotten a hang of it without her breaking into tears mid sentence. I was genuinely proud of her and how far she’d come, accepting her faults and making amends wasn’t something she usually did. We’d also bonded over the past few days and started to see each other as friends rather than mother and daughter and it was such a refreshing turn of events for both of us, I couldn’t wait to see what the future held for us as our bond strengthened. A smile was plastered on my face while I stared at the mirror and thought things over. However, that smile immediately faltered and morphed into dread when I heard a woman’s shrieking scream from downstairs followed by a loud thud. Curious, I threw on the first shirt I laid eyes on and hurried downstairs to find out what chaos had broken loose. When I got to the main door, I spotted it ajar with a maid’s bo

BlAKEI was watching Logan and Alex uncover truths I already knew of like they were mysteries.The guilt and shame that had been eating me out since the black boxes with severed heads arrived our doorstep had worsened to a critical level that was killing me. I could feel chips of my heart and soul being pulled apart as I lived as a traitor in the midst of the people whose suffering I had a hand in.“The murders were traced to the shahato pack this morning,” Logan groaned, anger shining in his eyes as he shifted uncomfortably at the edge of our deceased father’s study desk.“Yeah, the security team forwarded the memo to me as well, I gathered that it was a threatening act that was meant to serve as a warning or something,” Alex who was pacing furiously from one end of the office to another added.“Not just any warning, the worst kind that signals chaos is about to be let loose. And from what I’ve been told by other pack Alphas, the Shahato pack is preparing for an uprising,” Logan sigh
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 233: Cause of the pain
BLAKEI knocked again, despite being ignored every single time that I had in the past four days. “Scarlett, sweetheart,” I breathed, leaning against her door and not caring that it was creasing my nearly ironed suit, “I and the guys are heading out for a council meeting, please eat some of the chicken soup I made you, and call if you need anything while we're out.”I heard something drop and I gasped, “Are you okay in there, baby?” When she didn't respond, I sighed, a fresh bout of shame and guilt drowning me. I was the reason for her pain, for everyone’s pain in this house, and I didn't even deserve a response from her in all fairness. “Let her ride this wave at her own pace, Blake,” Logan said while walking past me, “We’re late for the council meeting, so come down now,” he called out loudly as he ran down the stairs. I swallowed hard before turning around and going after him, faintly hearing Alex’s voice in the living room as I made my way. Unlike myself, Alex and Logan engage

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
