ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 265:
SCARLETTToday was my first day of training, and I had a feeling I’d soon crawl back into my shell.“She has to start with basic moves,” Logan pointed out to Blake who was already lining up weapons for me.“I’m pretty sure she can throw a lousy blow and kick,” Blake argued, “What she needs to learn is how to use a Death Star so she can defend herself properly.”I perked up at the mention of the death star, every action movie I’d watched with a bad ass heroine flexing them and dropping dead bodies in her wake effortlessly flashing through my mind’s eye.A grin was covering my face in no time, “I totally agree with Blake, let’s start with the Death Star, I can brush up on lousy kicks and blows when I’ve mastered that.”Logan shook his head, but before he could speak, Alex cut in.“If you don’t learn proper coordination before handling a death star, all three of us will be your first victims and it won’t be injuries,” he used his thumb to draw a line across his neck, “It’ll be straight u

SCARLETTAfter the heated sexual encounter my first training session had ended in, it had suddenly become something I looked forward to.In fact, I and the guys had been attending gym sessions every morning before work to build my stamina and I loved the insanely hot sight of them covered in sweat while bare chested. It was all the motivation I needed to keep training and I realized that it made it easier for me to power through having sex with all three of them.But I wanted much more than relentless fucking with them, I wanted real bonding experiences that would further cement our relationship.“We should all have dinner together sometime,” I said, tipping the bottle of wine into my glass at the dining table.All three men looked away from their plates and at me, confusion clear in how they all scrunched their noses and corked their brows.“We’re having dinner together right now, we’ve been doing that since we moved back in here,” Logan pointed out the obvious and his brothers nodde
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 267: Because you’re my mate
SCARLETTThree bouquets were waiting for me as I stepped into the limousine and I couldn’t help the tears that gathered in my eyes as my heart swole a couple of sizes larger.When I looked away from the bouquets and at the three handsomely suited men who weee staring at me like their jaws were sweeping the floor, my heart suddenly felt like it was on the verge of exploding.I’d told them to wait in the car before they could see me in my full outfit, so the surprise and awe in their eyes was expected but it still threw me off guard.“You’re a fucking vision, Scarlett,” Alex found his words first, reaching out to pull me into his laps while his brothers’ gazes followed my every move.I smiled at the compliment, the matching grin on his face nearly blinding me because of how unbelievably gorgeous he was in his dark blue suit.“He’s not wrong, you had every one of us speechless and mind blown the second you walked in,” Logan who was seated on Alex’s left took my hand in his and kissed it

SCARLETTBlake had been whining for approximately ten minutes now.Why? Because Alex and I had just broken the news about him officially being my mate the next morning at breakfast and he was being a typical last born about it. I found it really funny and so did Logan, but Alex didn’t share that opinion because he and Blake were evil twins in another dimension and lived off bickering.“So the moon goddess is being picky? She’s handing out mate bonds based on age differences? I find that pretty weird and unfair,” Blake picked at his croissant and threw the crumb at Alex while Logan and I stifled laughter.“Get over yourself, weirdo. It’s not some competition where it matters whose bond comes first or last, either way, we all know that the seer wasn’t lying,” Alex defended seriously, managing to catch the crumb before it hit him and throwing it back at Blake.Easily, Blake caught the crumb and threw it back.“Oh please, we all know you’d be just as dramatic if I developed the bond befor

BLAKE I looked Wathoni’s limp and injury ridden body over again.The only reason I could believe that she wasn’t a sick imagination of mine was because Hyacinth was present and her hands roaming around her bloodied body was proof that she was real. I shuffled on my feet helplessly as I watched her examine Wathoni closely while chanting.A part of me urged me to yank her off my office couch and throw her into the nearest dumpster and leave her for dead.But how could I? I wasn’t a heartless monster and she was clearly near death’s gate and she’d come to me when she could’ve gone anywhere else. She must’ve known that coming to a person who was tagged as a traitor would mean putting her life that was on the verge of ending in more danger, but she’d looked past that and come to me for help anyways.That showed just how desperate and endangered she was. As well as how much she trusted that I had some good in me.I couldn’t turn her away knowing that. Right?“She’s alive,” Hyacinth announ

BLAKEWathoni got on her feet while my brain went dead from the questions that had been hurled at me.For some reason, Scarlett’s eyes followed her movement closely until she stopped right beside me and then a frown caused her forehead to form displeased folds. And those soft and beautiful eyes of hers were full of what could only be jealousy as she looked Wathoni over from head to toe.Granted, Wathoni was a looker with generous curves and caramel skin but she didn’t compare to Scarlett’s otherworldly beauty in any way, I hope she knew that.“I’m Wathoni,” she introduced herself nervously, rubbing her hands along her battered clothes, “I know you all have every reason to be mad at Blake, but he doesn’t deserve to take the heat alone when I’m the one that dragged him into this mess by coming here for help,” she explained calmly.Logan walked into the office and so did Alex and Scarlett before shutting the door behind them.“Saying your name doesn’t explain a thing,” Logan pointed out,

SCARLETTI didn’t trust this bitch, and it had nothing to do with the sting of knowing she’d been with a man that rightfully belonged to me.However, the guys seemed interested in what she was willing to offer up, so I held back from voicing out my distrust to avoid looking like a tyrant in our relationship. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t give her the stink eye every now and then to remind her that she couldn’t fool me for a second.“Well? Don’t just dangle a goody bag in front of us and then keep quiet,” Alex said, seeming just as irritated with her as I was, “tell us everything you know, right now.”She glanced at Blake, as if hoping that he would back her up or something and that pricked me in all the wrong places. He wasn’t hers anymore and she had no right to have crawled to him, talk less of enraging him with information she purposely withheld and then looking to him for shelter afterwards.“I’ll write it all down, just give me a minute,” she replied, her feigned apologetic loo
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 272: Don’t trust her
SCARLETTDon’t trust her, my wolf whispered for the umpteenth time.She didn’t have to remind me so often, I had no plans of ever trusting this slimy snake of a woman. I was watching her ramble off more details about the Shahato army to the guys in the conference room of Logan’s company, but I didn’t trust or believe a word that left her lips.I wasn’t hard to convince on a normal day, but when my guts were constantly rejecting a a person, I knew there had to be something shady about them and I’d rarely ever been wrong about that all my life.Right now, I wasn’t voicing those concerns because the guys seemed seriously interested in what she was saying since they’d confirmed that the information about the hideout wasn’t a lie.“You’re certain this is the day when their forces are weakest?” Blake asked, motioning to the scribbling on the white board.Wathoni nodded eagerly, stepping closer him and annoying me in the process.“Yes, every Thursday about half of Lucas’s army are sent out o

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
