BRANDON.

Being with Amari in that locker room was enough to drown out everything else. Every thought, every lingering frustration, every name that wasn’t hers.

And damn, did she know exactly what she was doing.

For the rest of the school day, I let myself be pulled into her perfect smile, the effortless charm, and the attention I was getting from her being by my side.

That is, until closing time.

Amari and I parted ways with a kiss, and I made my way to the car. I slid into the backseat, barely sparing the driver a glance. Draping my arm lazily over the headrest, my eyes scanned the lot out of habit.

Then I saw her.

Ivy.

She was walking across the lot, towards the car, head lowered slightly, arms folded tightly around her books. But that wasn’t what made my jaw tighten.

It was who she was with.

Demi.

The same annoyance from earlier, the one I had shoved to the back of my mind, came rushing back like wildfire. For some reason, I hated seeing them together. Hated the way Demi walked too

    Ivy’s POVMondays were for biology. And sometimes, biology meant dealing with this.“Wrong,” Brandon scoffed from behind me, his deep, authoritative voice slicing through the classroom like a blade. “That answer makes no sense.”I exhaled sharply, gripping my pen tighter before slowly setting it down. Here we go.“It makes perfect sense, actually,” I said, my tone clipped.Brandon turned his head, leveling me with that infuriating smirk of his—the one that screamed I’m smarter than you, and we both know it.“If you enjoy being wrong, then sure.”My jaw tightened. I swear, it was physically painful how much I wanted to turn around and wipe that smug look off his face.“Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell,” I said, forcing my voice to stay calm. “Meaning they generate energy. Muscle cells require more energy, which is why they contain more mitochondria than, let’s say, skin cells. That’s basic biology.”Brandon leaned back in his chair, stretching like this entire conversation w

    Ivy’s POVThe lie came easier than I thought it would. Maybe because I had done it before.I’d walked into my mum's room, fed her some nonsense about last-minute school supplies, and just like that, she handed me two thousand dollars without question. No interrogation, no suspicion. Just a casual be more responsible next time advice.Maybe I should have asked for the full five thousand. But that would’ve raised red flags, and questions, and I couldn’t afford any of those right now. Two thousand was enough to get me closer, and not enough to fix everything.But enough to keep the panic at bay a little bit. For now.I was inside my room, on my bed, with my breath escaping in a shaky exhale.The money sat in my hands, crisp bills that felt heavier than they should.I had managed to scrape together a thousand from selling one of my old novels. Add this two thousand from my mom, and that made three.Still short by two grand.I stared at the cash, my fingers curling around it as dread poole

    Ivy's POVI couldn’t believe how low my life had sunk. Disrespect wasn’t even the right word for what I was feeling. It was worse—humiliating, degrading, like every ounce of control had been stripped from me.Demi leaned back, arms spread across the booth, grinning as his friends howled with laughter. He was completely unbothered by the filth pouring from his mouth, completely unaffected by the way he was reducing me to a punchline.A trophy. Something to be discussed, picked apart, and passed around for amusement.I had to get out of there.Swallowing my disgust, I forced a tight smile and leaned in close to him. “Demi, can I talk to you for a minute?”He glanced at me lazily, the corner of his mouth twitching in amusement. “Oh? My shy little girlfriend has something to say?”His friends chuckled, and I felt my nails digging into my palms.“Just a minute,” I repeated, keeping my voice light.Demi exhaled heavily, like I was inconveniencing him, but stood anyway. “Fine. We’ll be back,

    Ivy's POV.The days were slipping through my fingers like sand, and with each one that passed, the pressure in my chest grew heavier, sharper, like a slow suffocation I couldn’t escape.Demi’s words haunted me and looped in my head like a broken record.You’ll come over next weekend. My friends will be there too. To watch.I wanted to believe he was bluffing. That he was just testing me, pushing to see how far I’d let him go before I finally snapped.But I knew better.Demi never made empty threats.He had planned it already. He was waiting for that day. And the more I thought about it, the more the panic wrapped around my throat like a noose.I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t breathe.At school, my mind drifted, eyes glazing over as teachers spoke, their voices melting into nothing but white noise.At home, I’d sit at my desk, staring blankly at my open books, the words blurring into an unreadable mess.And at night? There was no relief. No sleep, just the same cycle of fe

    Ivy's POV.Planning Amari's party with her was the only thing keeping me sane.Everything else was suffocating. But when Amari and I sat together, talking about decorations, music, and themes, I could almost forget.Over the past few days, Amari and I had grown closer. She had an effortless way of making people feel comfortable, a kind of charm that made it impossible to dislike her. And even though we came from different worlds, for once, I didn’t feel like I had to keep my guard up.After school, she invited me over to her place to go over plans for the party. We sat on her bedroom floor, sketching out ideas in a notebook, throwing around different themes and decorations. She had a clear vision—something elegant yet fun, and I helped fine-tune the details, adding small touches that would bring everything together.For the first time in what felt like forever, things felt normal. No pressure, no tension, just easy conversation and lighthearted planning. It was a brief escape, a momen

    Ivy's POVIt was the day. The day I had been dreading, the day I had been desperately hoping wouldn’t come.Every second dragged me closer to the inevitable, a slow, agonizing countdown to something I couldn’t escape.No amount of deep breaths or forced distractions could dull the suffocating dread pressing down on my chest. It was there—heavy, relentless, and curling around my ribs like a vice.My phone buzzed on the nightstand, the screen glowing in the dim light.Wear something sexy.Of course, it was from Demi.I let out a slow, shaky sigh, pressing the heels of my palms into my eyes while hoping for a miracle that I knew wouldn’t come.Standing in front of my closet, staring blankly at the rows of clothes, I reached for a black, short dress that clung to my figure in all the ways I hated. I had worn it once to a family friend’s party, and even then, I had felt uncomfortable. But this was what Demi wanted.I pulled it over my head and slowly zipped it up by the side.I had already

    16.Ivy's POVDinner felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.I sat stiffly at the dining table, my fingers curled into my lap, every muscle in my body coiled tight with tension. Across from me, Demi lounged in his chair like he belonged here, like this was his home, and not mine.He had spent the last thirty minutes charming my mother, slipping into the role of the perfect boyfriend with disgusting ease. And she had fallen for it completely.It was infuriating.But more than that, it was terrifying.I poked at my food, my appetite long gone. My hands felt ice-cold, but my face was burning, heat crawling up my neck as the weight of the room pressed down on me.And then there was Brandon.I could feel his gaze on me, quiet and heavy, like he was trying to read something from me. He had barely spoken all evening, but I could feel his anger. It lingered in the air, thick and suffocating.My mum turned to Brandon’s dad, practically glowing with excitement.“Baby,” she said, beaming,

    17.Ivy's POV As soon as the front door shut behind him, my entire body screamed for release. The tension in my shoulders, the tightness in my chest. I wanted to collapse right there in the hallway, sink to the floor, and let the exhaustion swallow me whole. I barely had a second to steady my breathing before my mother’s voice cut through the silence behind me.“He’s really something, isn’t he?”I turned with a smile on instinct.“Yeah,” I said, forcing the word out.Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she stepped closer, practically vibrating with enthusiasm. “I knew something was up, Ivy. You’ve been so secretive lately, and now I know why!”Before I could react, she reached forward and grabbed my hands, squeezing them between her own. Her warmth should have been comforting, but it only made me feel more trapped.“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me!” she gushed. “My daughter, the little bookworm, finally dating? I never thought I’d see the day.”I swallowed hard, nodding along, pr

    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. Stretching his arms out behind

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   57: What do you think you are?

    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. Or when you made me lock my door against my wi

    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

    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

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   55: Eavesdropping

    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   54: Engagement Plans

    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

    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

  • HER LYCAN STEPBROTHER’S OBSESSION   52: Did You Kiss Him?

    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

    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
