ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 281:
SCARLETTThe walls were covered in blood, completely doused in it.I knew it was werewolf blood from the distinct stench, and that’s when I realized that none of the security men were in sight since we’d stepped out of the burning mansion. That sick asshole called Lucas Shahato must’ve ordered his men to kill them all and use their blood to paint the wall.Anger bubbled in the depths of my soul and I practically jumped over Blake and leapt out of the car. All three men stepped out right after me, rushing to grab me like they were hiding something from me, veiling a secret that they didn’t want me to uncover.“Scarlett, let’s just get back in the car and leave,” Alex who was planted before me like a wall of Jericho said in a pleading tone.Blake was on my side, and so was Logan and it felt like they were deliberately blocking my view of the wall for some odd reason. And because of that, I was eager to find out whatever they were trying so hard to hide.I stood on the tip of my toes and

SCARLETTJust like every other property owned by the Vaughns, the safe house was majestic.I momentarily tucked my worries aside as I basked in the beauty of the Victorian styled castle before us. My eyes were everywhere, scanning the place and finding myself in awe of everything in sight.My favorite thing so far was the fountain that had a Cupid angel with water flowing out of the arrow and into the fountain well. The guys were conversing between each other as we headed into the house and I just kept looking around with wonder twinkling in my eyes.They showed me to a room upstairs, one that was just as majestically decorated as the entire house and I took a hot bath while Logan sent a staff out to bring an order of new clothes for all of us since we’d lost our belongings in the fire.Once I stepped out of the shower, I found some comfy clothes laid out on the bed and threw on a pair of shorts and a sweatshirt before heading downstairs. I was pleasantly surprised to find a finding t

BLAKEIt’s been three days of reckless torture, and yet, I’d learned nothing.The best and worst characteristic of the Shahato pack was their unwavering loyalty to their people. It was the reason why Wathoni had betrayed me without blinking an eye and it was the same reason these prisoners weren’t breathing a word of information about their pack’s possible locations.I nodded at Xander—the most ruthless torturer under my employment, and immediately he got the signal he turned on the switch behind him. Next, gnashing of teeth and mangled screams followed as the men before us felt the brunt of the electric chairs they were bound to.When I’d had enough of the hellish noises, I snapped my fingers and Xander turned off the switch. Heavy breathing and trembling noises echoed through the torture room as the men regained themselves or at least a semblance of control.“Nicholas, is it?” I walked towards them, my eyes trained on the man in the middle who I knew to be an army commander from the

BLAKEI blinked for what must’ve been ten times in a row.How the hell was she doing that? I was far too stunned to speak or move.Scarlett was indeed special, and not in the way a person you loved automatically seemed special, no. She was uniquely crafted, blessed by the moon goddess and gifted with a light that illuminated her room and the hallway I remained planted in.Something, a force greater than I’d ever felt, was suddenly draining me towards her like a magnetic force field.That very moment, her skin shone even brighter and her hair turned silver at the tips, making my mouth drop open in wonder. I didn’t know whether I should more worried than mesmerized, but my wolf was so enchanted by her that I couldn’t focus on any emotion other than awe.Slowly, that awe seemed to fill every nerve ending in my body before morphing into adoration. I wanted to go to her and worship at her feet, I could feel that desire burning through me and it was gradually being amplified by my wolf.I f

SCARLETTI loved how awfully happy he was, like he’d won the lottery.“Are you ever gonna stop smiling?” I pressed a kiss to his cheek, pleased at how it raised to indicate that his smile had widened at the question.My lips were swooped in an all consuming kiss, one that sent heat scattering all over my skin and tugged on the new bond that now existed between us. It was exquisite and I finally felt complete, the triple linking around the mate bond within me was proof of it.“I’m never going to stop smiling,” he said as he pulled away, a cute boyish grin lighting up his incredibly handsome face, “nothing could possibly compare to how amazing I feel right now, so why the hell would I ever want to stop smiling huh?” he asked before showing my face with kisses while I giggled.When he finally stopped, I needed a couple of seconds to catch my breath. And yeah, he was still smiling.“I hope I didn’t scare you though? With the uh… lights and floating stuff,” I swallowed, eyeing the spell bo

SCARLETTEver since Logan heard of Blake being mated to me, he’d been walking on eggshells around me.It had only been a day since it happened but because of his weird and evasive attitude, it seemed much longer. I could guess what was possibly going on in his mind, but I didn’t want to force it out of him in case I was wrong.In the meantime, I’d made plans to ease his worries, but it was meant to be a surprise. None of the guys knew about it, and if possible I’d like to keep it a secret until the very last minute despite the chances of that working being incredibly slim.Logan and I had been working from home for a while, so we were the only ones in the house while Blake and Alex had headed to their respective work places. We were cooped up in the library, one as gorgeous and spacious as the one the beast gifted Belle, and he’d been answering countless calls in order to avoid having an actual conversation with me. But I didn’t plan to let it go on for much longer.So, as soon as he

SCARLETTI repeated the short chant thrice, just to make sure I didn’t miss a thing.Soon, my entire body was bursting with power like I’d never experienced and I found myself fearlessly marching towards the giants—or at least the few that were left after the others had met the Vaughn men’s wrath.My hands were suddenly holding flames that I could wield as a weapon, and despite how much of an upper hand that gave me, I felt my courage shrink when I came face to face with a giant. He was huge and intimidatingly tall and I suddenly wanted to shrink into a hole.That foolish hesitation of mine gave him an opportunity to push me to the ground with a simple flick of his gigantic thumb to my forehead. Then he hovered over me, watching me like I was a familiar sight even though we’d never crossed paths.I thought of screaming for help so the guys would come to my aid, but my wolf urged me against doing so. Somehow, she believed that I could handle this all by myself and o was trying my harde

SCARLETT“No!”“Hell no!”“Fuck no!”All three men voiced their displeasure simultaneously, making me roll my eyes in defiance. It’s almost like they’d forgotten how little control they had over the decisions I made, if we couldn’t make a decision together then I wouldn’t let them make one for me.Backstory?We woke up this morning feeling more refreshed and connected than ever—all thanks to the marking ritual and some mind blowing sex—and we all blurted out the same idea at breakfast as a result. Of course we said it in different words, but the crust of the matter was that it all pointed to luring out the Shahato.It was decided that we needed to set a bait for them they way they’d done to us a number of times because the only way we could crush them once and for all is if we had the upper hand for once.However, the second I offered to myself as bait, they all seemed to lose their shit and shut down the whole thing without even bothering to listen to the well thought out plan I’d de

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
