Ivy's POV

Brandon's sudden change in behavior continued for the next three days, and I didn’t know what to make of it.

He was still Brandon, cold, unreadable, but he hadn’t made a single obscene request, hadn’t smirked at me in that knowing way, hadn’t so much as hinted at what we did before.

He showed up to every study session on time, contributed like a normal person, and even tolerated the other students without making a scene.

It was unsettling.

Aaron Vaughn on the other hand still refused to leave my side.

He was always there, pulling out my chair, making me laugh, giving me words of encouragement here and there. And maybe it was because he was the only one actively being nice to me, or maybe it was because I was trying to ignore the mess in my head, but I could feel myself warming up to him.

The day before the last stage of the competition, we were sitting with the others in the dining hall when he suddenly turned to me.

“Ivy,” he said casually, flashing a small smile. “I was

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   53: Dry Humping

    53.Ivy's POV.I kept my voice low, barely above a whisper. "It's none of your business if we kissed."Brandon leaned back in my chair, completely at ease, like he had all the time in the world. "It is my business," he said, then his eyes flickered with something dark, something almost amused. "Because I’m the only one who knows what you taste like."My breath caught, my stomach twisting into a tight knot. A wave of panic washed over me as I darted a glance toward my roommate, still curled up in her bed. "Brandon," I hissed, my voice sharp and urgent. "My roommate—""Won’t wake up, and won’t hear a thing." he cut in easily, his tone casual, almost lazy.Something about the way he said it made my skin prickle.I turned to look at her again, my pulse picking up. And that’s when I noticed the way she was lying.Her breathing was steady. But her posture, something about it wasn’t right. It was too still. Almost unnatural.My heart pounded as I snapped my gaze back to him, my throat tigh

    Brandon's POV.Winning was expected. There was never a doubt in my mind that we would. But what I hadn’t expected was the way Ivy’s face lit up the moment our school was announced as the winner. She looked radiant. Alive in a way I’d never seen before. Her eyes were bright with something I didn’t think I had ever seen on her before. Pure, unfiltered joy. It was weird. I had never seen her like this. So full of life, so happy. And it did something strange to me. It tugged at something deep in my chest, something I didn’t fucking like.I shook it off, letting the feeling of being the winning school sink in. I should have been thinking about that. Not about Ivy. Not about how I had never seen her smile like that. Not about how, for some stupid reason, it made my own chest feel lighter.The feeling didn’t fade, not even when we were in the plane, heading back. She was beside me, phone pressed to her ear, practically vibrating with excitement as she talked to her mom.“We won, Mom,” she s

    Ivy's POV.Dinner felt suffocating.I sat at the long dining table, my plate barely touched, watching as the conversation flowed easily around me, full of laughter and admiration, all directed at Amari.Even my mother wasn’t immune to her charm. She watched Amari with something close to adoration, nodding along as she spoke, occasionally reaching over to touch her arm in approval. It wasn’t surprising. Amari was the perfect daughter anyone would wish for, beautiful, graceful, and poised. They were all treating her like the perfect future Luna.And why wouldn’t they?She was everything I wasn’t. She fit into this world so seamlessly, like she was made for it. And me? I was just… here. Out of place.I knew this was how things were supposed to be. Amari belonged with them, with him. And yet, the longer I sat there, the tighter the knot in my stomach grew. The guilt pressed down on me like a weight I couldn’t shake.Because I had been with Brandon.Because I had touched him and let him t

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   55B: Brandon’s Obsession

    Brandon's POV.The moment our fathers disappeared into my father's study, Amari wasted no time turning to me, her eyes glinting with that familiar mix of curiosity and amusement.“So,” she said, tilting her head slightly, “can I see your room?”I gave her a flat look. “Why?”“Why not?” She grinned up at me like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Why can’t I see my future husband’s room?”I sighed. “Amari, there’s no need for that. Staying here in the living room is fine.”She pouted dramatically, stepping just a little closer. “Are you hiding something?”“No.”“Then let’s go! Please?” She clasped her hands together, batting her lashes like she was asking for the biggest favor in the world.I knew Amari well enough to understand that once she set her mind on something, there was no talking her out of it. And honestly, I was too drained to argue.I exhaled through my nose, rubbing a hand over my face. “Fine. Come on.”Amari’s face lit up, and she practically bounced as we got

    56.Amari's POV.I stood in the dimly lit room, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst from my chest. The air was thick with tension, cold and suffocating, wrapping around me like an invisible grip. I barely had time to steady my breath before his deep voice cut through the silence. “Strip.”My fingers trembled as I reached for the clasps of my dress. I didn’t hesitate, I couldn’t. I let the fabric slide off my shoulders, pooling around my feet in a whisper of silk. My undergarments followed, leaving me bare under the weight of his scrutiny. The air was cold against my skin, sending a shiver down my spine, but I didn’t move to cover myself. That would only make things worse.Silence stretched between us, heavy and suffocating. The longer it dragged on, the more my stomach twisted into tight, painful knots.Then, finally, he spoke again.“Look at you,” he said slowly, his tone laced with disappointment, almost mocking. “This body. This face. And yet, after almost two m

    Ivy's POV.The silence in the car was suffocating.Brandon sat beside me, his gaze fixed out the window, his expression unreadable. He hadn’t looked at me once since we got in. No smirk, no teasing remark, not even that usual air of control he always carried whenever we were in the same space.It was like I wasn’t even there.I was supposed to be fine with it. I should have been fine with it, especially after last night, after what I overheard coming from his room.But I wasn’t.I hated this cold, detached version of him more than anything. And before I could stop myself, the words tumbled out of my mouth.“I’ve noticed something about you,” I said, my voice sharper than I intended.Brandon didn’t react, didn’t even blink.I clenched my jaw, gripping my bag a little tighter. “You have powers that aren’t normal werewolf powers.”Still, nothing.I inhaled, forcing myself to keep going. “Like that time in my mom’s kitchen when you choked me.

    Brandon's POV The door creaked as I pushed it open, and the familiar mix of cigarette smoke and old books hit me right in the face. The abandoned classroom was the place I and Liam had turned to our spot for as long as I could remember. No one ever came here except us.The first thing my eyes met was Liam, leaning back against the teacher’s desk, his head tilted back as he let out a deep breath. His fingers were tangled in the hair of some junior kneeling between his legs. The girl noticed me the second I walked in and practically shot up from the floor, her face turning red as she wiped her mouth in a panic. She didn’t even bother to look back as she bolted out the door.Liam didn’t even flinch. He just exhaled slowly, eyes rolling as he adjusted himself. I shut the door with a sharp click behind me and gave him a look of disgust. “Do you ever keep it in your pants?”“Not when I don’t have to,” he replied like it was the simplest thing in the world.

    IVY I stared at the score on the top-right corner of the script, willing the scores to change but it didn't. The 98 remained there while my stomach churned. I looked through the script, searching for a mistake from the teacher. There was a mistake quite alright but it wasn't from the teacher. It was from me and that stupid miscalculation had caused me two whole marks! "Careful Ivy," the voice that always annoys me and makes my skin crawl said. I didn't need to look up at him to see the taunt in his eyes. "Glaring at your scores won't make it change," he leaned over to peer at my script. "98. Not bad. From there to 70 to 40 and finally, the zero that you deserve so you'll be forced to withdraw. Who knows, I might be kind enough to employ you as a cleaner here." I looked up at him. If it was another person, I'd have been shocked at the intensity of the hatred in their eyes. But this was Brandon Castle. He hated me more than anything. And I hated him thrice as much.

    51.Ivy's POV.Telling Brandon off was a stupid decision. Reckless. One made in the heat of the moment, driven by anger instead of logic. Because at the end of the day, I knew exactly how this would play out. I was the one who would lose.I lay in bed all night, staring at my phone, debating whether to call him, text him, anything to smooth things over. But every time my fingers hovered over his contact, I forced myself to put the phone down. I wasn’t going to be that desperate. I refused.Morning came, and I dragged myself to the dining hall, my stomach twisting in anticipation. I expected to see Brandon already there, sitting in his usual spot with that unreadable expression, waiting for me to break first. But when I reached the table, his chair was empty.My heart sank.Was this his way of punishing me? Not showing up at all? Letting me sit here and overthink everything? What if he was planning to sabotage the next round completely? What if he threw the whole competition just to ge
