ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 85: Going to blow up
SCARLETTAll the sass I’d pumped into that last impulsive response floated into thin air and I was suddenly trembling under his grasp.From the murderous look in his eyes, I could tell that he was raging with anger and that sent bouts of fright through me because I knew he was capable of ending my life in a fit of rage. In fact, the grip on my neck that seemed to tighten every two seconds was enough proof.Logan was nothing if not a psychopathic unhinged hybrid.I’d come to that conclusion from the inhumane way he was worsening my suffering by the second while looking completely unmoved by my pain. His gaze was locked with mine as he continued to restrict my airflow and all I could do was struggle to pathetically breath through my mouth.“You will never be anything but a conniving, poverty stricken bitch to me and it disgusts me to think that you’ve grown a shred of audacity to address me as you please because you’ve clawed your way into my home,” he growled angrily in my face.I coul
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 86: Forced to Apologize
SCARLETTI could already imagine a heated and extremely messy confrontation ongoing while I struggled to get to the indoor pool area where I knew they’d be at. My head was banging and my breathing was still unusually heavy from being treated like dirt by Logan, but I practically ignored it and hurled myself into the pool area. By the time I walked in, Blake had just reached Logan and shoved him so hard that he almost tumbled into the pool. Both Ashley and Alex who were seated at opposite ends of a beach bench looked up in confusion at the scene that’d started to unfold. “What the fuck was that about? Have you lost your damn mind, Blake!?” Logan’s eyes were blazing with anger when he finally gained his composure. But the anger in his eyes were no match for the fiery rage Blake seemed to be shouldering as they locked gazes. “I’ve had enough!” Blake yelled, “enough of you treating Scarlett like she’s insignificant despite showing no remorse when you uprooted her means of livelihood a
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 87: Big fight?
LOGANFrom the way Ashley was angrily pacing up the stairs, I knew a hurricane was seconds from being blown up in my face. I’d seen Ashley this way a couple of times, but this was the first time that explosive anger of hers was directed at me in all the years we’d known each other.I didn’t know what to expect and it rattled me completely. What I did know was that I’d do anything to put her mind at ease, anything.“What was all that drama about? I demand an explanation,” Ashley’s eyes narrowed at me the second I shut my room’s door behind us.At first, I decided to play it cool, to make it seem like Blake had over-exaggerated things back there.“It’s nothing to worry about, really,” I ran a hand through my hair sluggishly, “Scarlett just pissed me off and I lost my temper with her.”She didn’t look convinced so I reached out and rubbed her shoulder softly.“But that’s all over now, so can we cuddle and watch a movie or something? who knows when next we’ll have a day off to spend toget
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 88: Have to find her
LOGANFor a moment, I was transfixed to a spot, in utter shock from the turnout of my confession.Ashley had never bolted away from me that way after an argument, in fact, we’d never left without hashing out an issue and ending up in each other’s arms afterward.But now, we’d suffered the first major rift between us and I couldn’t help but direct all my anger at Scarlett. She was the reason for all these bullshit and my hatred for her had intensified by a thousand folds as I realized it.Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to track her and make her suffer because I needed to go after Ashley.In a matter of seconds I was storming out of the main door and I felt a dreadful chill grip me when I noticed that Ashley’s car was no longer in the space where she’d parked. I’d assumed that she would just find some place downstairs to blow off steam, but she was so enraged that she’d driven off.I didn’t even care about the scorching sun as I hurried in to grab my car keys and marched towards
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 89: Always Worth It
LOGANThe first thing I heard that signaled I’d regained consciousness was the faint jazz playing in the background.Slowly, I opened my eyes and the first sight I was greeted with was the portrait of Ashley and I from when she’d forced me into a photo booth on Valentine’s Day, so I immediately knew that I’d awoken in her room.Just as I started to struggle to get myself into a sitting position, the door opened and Ashley walked in holding a glass of blood. Despite my weakness, I could smell it easily.“Logan, please don’t do that, you need your rest,” she hurried to my side and used her free hand to nudge me back into a lying position.I fought back the grunt that tried to escape when my back hit the bed so as to not worry her.“I’m so relieved that you’re awake,” she reached for my face and rubbed my jawline softly, “I was seconds away from calling Alex to send your family physician over.”When a smile spread across her face, I felt my entire body scatter with lightning bolts. It’d
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 90: Jealous Alpha
ALEXShe means nothing to me, nothing.The only worthy title to ascribe to her would be that of a cumslut, but I couldn’t comprehend why she was stirring these foreign emotions within me of late.This afternoon, when I heard Logan yell all that crap about her, the intensity of the anger that overwhelmed me almost made me crack my facade. As an alpha, it wasn’t a big deal to conceal my appearance even though inwardly I was fighting a battle I didn’t understand, but today it was much harder to hold that mask in place.When I saw the marks on her neck where she stood, I was completely furious. I’d felt like replicating those marks on his neck in a way they’d never heal and it scared me that I’d wanted to protect a good for nothing whore so fiercely.In fact, as the argument grew more intense, I was fighting off the urge to march over to them and yank Logan’s head right off his body, or drown him in the pool along with his flimsy reasons for laying a finger on her.I had to keep reminding
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 91: The only constant thing
SCARLETTI had the evening off for the day because I didn’t have a shift at the cafe so I was currently scrolling through Netflix to find the next poor Kdrama I’d binge watch and obsess about.However, my hopes of relaxation were thrown out of the window completely when mom barged into my room with a mischievous smile on her face.Before she even opened her mouth to speak, I knew she was bound to ruin my evening.“Good news, honey! I’ve asked Michael to join us for a family dinner next week and I can’t wait to immerse him into our lovely family!” she spread her hands in the air triumphantly as she dropped a literal grenade on me.I angrily slammed my laptop shut and faced her head on.“Really mom!? Why would you go around throwing invitations around to a man I’m barely dating? And worst of all, you didn’t think to involve me, a fully grown woman, in the decision to do so!?” I was absolutely irritated at her guts.Mom waved a hand and rolled her eyes playfully like she didn’t grasp how
ENTANGLED WITH HER ALPHA STEPBROTHERS 92: Kept you around for your body
ALEXNot a bone on my body believed a thing she’d said.There was no way on earth she wasn’t acting all that out. I couldn’t make sense of why she’d be acting when it was just her mom she was speaking to, but I just knew that she was faking it.As long as I was concerned, Scarlett and her mom were two halves of a whole and they shared the same greedy views about marrying for money. But it was getting harder and harder to hold onto that perspective of mine when Scarlett had refused to marry Micheal just like the other day.Maybe she was gunning for a bigger fish than him that could keep her generations wealthy rather than a person that could only assure her of comfort and not an entire bloodline. That definitely made sense.Still, why has she been leading Micheal on by going on dates when she has no intention of marrying him? Why does she see the need to lie that she’s looking for love when she’s simply in search of deeper pockets while keeping her other options open?It was futile to

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
