MATED TO HER BULLY STEPBROTHERS 246
CARSONA sense of panic hung heavy in the air.Ashley lay motionless on her bed, her skin was pale. Her face seemed to have lost its usual glow. She looked dull and lifeless.A shiver ran down my spine as I stared down at her. I placed a hand on her forehead. It was damp, as if sweat just dried from it. But there were no beads of sweat anywhere on her face.My mind raced. I had never seen anything like this before. Ashley was strong and healthy before we kissed her goodnight. And that was after she had a lengthy conversation with Brody and me. She was not sick at all, neither did she complain of any strange feeling.What could have happened to her?I knelt beside the bed and pressed my ear to her chest which was just as motionless as her entire body. I could barely hear her heartbeat. It was just a faint, irregular rhythm that seemed to be fading.A cold dread settled in my stomach.“She is not responding,” I said to my brothers.Axel shook his head and bent to see her closely, and so

CARSON“No way!” Ashley's mum shouted and rushed towards Circe, “Please don't let my baby stay trapped. Bring her out!”“I'm sorry, Luna. But it depends on the princes. Are they ready to abide by the rules of the gods?” she looked at us.We stared back at her.Abiding by the rule of the gods simply meant that one person would mark Ashley. The implication of that was that the others would no longer have Ashley because she would be with her only true love.What if I was not her one true love?The thought of it caused me to wince. I could feel my heart break. A cold feeling washed over me. But at that moment, I did not care about my place in this matter. I just wanted to see Ashley alive again. That was what mattered to me.“We will abide by the rule!” I shouted.Axel and Brody looked at me and sharply turned back to Circe, “yes!” they chorused.Circe went quiet for a while and tilted her head. I assumed she was listening to the gods for the next move to make. We all stared at her, waiti

CARSONI stared, wide-eyed at Ashley's form. This could not be happening! I kissed Ashley and still nothing?I looked up at Circe, waiting for her to say something. But at that point, it seemed like she, too, was clueless. She stared down at Ashley in shock.“This is an abomination! Not even one of you truly loves the lady?”I had just witnessed something that defied all logic. Circe had assured us that a kiss from one of us would awaken Ashley from her slumber, yet here we were, standing over her lifeless form, our love for her burning bright but seemingly powerless.I was confused. How was it possible that none of us could bring Ashley back to life? I could not stand the disappointment on everyone's face. But for me, it was more of a shock.“Are you sure you heard right from the gods!” Axel demanded, impatiently.His eyes flashed with fury as he looked from Circe to Ashley.“How dare you question what the gods have spoken?” Circe asked, with a frown.“Then why is she not responding?

AXELMy father's kiss brought Ashley back to life!I was not having any of it. I turned to Circe. A smile formed around her lips as she did a stupid bow. I was highly irritated by her hypocrisy.“Thanks to the gods, the Alpha king was able to save…”“Now, you shut that dirty mouth of yours!” I fired, pointing at her.I turned to my father, whom I felt nothing but hate for, “What have you done?” I asked in anger.“What does it look like? I did what none of you could do. Incompetent fools!”“Alpha! What have you done to Ashley? What does this mean?” Ashley's mum asked my dad.“Shut that mouth of yours, woman. You have your daughter back! Isn't that enough?”“What! She is not even moving. She is still inactive!” Ashley's mum was not about to let the issue die down.She turned to Circle with teary eyes. Panic plastered all over her face as she spoke, “What does this mean? Circe, say something!”Before she could say another word, a heavy slap landed on her face. She screamed in pain and la

AXELInside the throne room, a tense silence hung heavy in the air. Everyone stared in shock. I would never have imagined that my father would kill Ashley's mum.My mind was racing beyond my control. The one I had called father all these years was nothing but a cold-hearted beast. A shocking truth had just been revealed through my father's actions. He intended to have Ashley for himself all along. He had manipulated things in his favor, through Circe's sorcery.“You've been lying to us all this time,” Axel growled, his voice filled with anger. “How could you do this to us?”My father’s face was impassive. His eyes, cold and calculating, seemed to bore into us.“I did what was best for the pack,” he said, his voice finally breaking the silence. “Ashley is a powerful wolf. Her bloodline is ancient and pure. She is the perfect mate for the Alpha. For me!”“But she's our mate,” Brody protested, his voice trembling, “we love her!”My father's eyes narrowed, “love is not enough,” he said. “

BRODYThe moon hung low, casting a shadow over the forest. The air was thick with a heavy smell that I could not place. I had been feeling uncomfortable since I watched my father kill Ashley's mum. It left a sick feeling in my stomach that I could not do away with.I strolled the clearing that served as a boundary between the forest and the castle. I tried to inhale the scent of leaves and earth. I just wanted a familiar and comforting smell to wipe off the smell of blood. Luna's blood had been spilled so terribly.My head was spinning with different thoughts. I had no idea who Alpha Hendrix was anymore. He wasn't the man that raised me. He had always been mean, but I never saw him as a cold-hearted killer. It now made sense why Axel hated him so much.The craziest part of it all was the fact that my father had been planning to keep Ashley to himself. What sort of father does that? All that talk about obeying the gods and Circe, was just for his gain.Circe!She had been a liar all al

ASHLEYI was trapped in a cage.There was no better way to describe how I was feeling. I kept sleeping and waking, unable to do anything else. It felt like my limbs were bound by chains that seemed to grow tighter with each passing moment.Then there was my brain, playing tricks on me. I thought I had seen some things, but again, I wasn't sure if I had truly seen them.Was I hallucinating?I had been trying hard to get clarity on the thoughts of my mum. What I saw couldn't be real. It was my brain playing a fast one on me.I was weak and vulnerable after a long sleep that I could not explain. I recalled blushing heavily when I returned to my room, some nights ago. I had lost count of the time and date. But I do remember that I had just finished a conversation with Brody and Carson. And that was after they made me do a double blowjob.I returned to my room feeling on top of the world. I could not get my mind off the sweet things they said to me.Then suddenly, the atmosphere changed.

BRODYMy father burst into the living room, his eyes burning with rage.What the hell had happened again?“I thought I was raising wolves that will lead this pack, someday. I had no idea that you three are nothing but tiny chickens!”My father's voice rang through my ears, causing goosebumps to sprout on my skin. I hated how he talked down to us.“What have we done this time?” Axel asked him.“You thought that reporting me to the council of elders would change anything? Oh, you should be ashamed of yourself because you have no idea who your father is!”“We can no longer bear the atrocious things you have done, Alpha!”I grabbed Axel's arm. He was overstepping and my father could kill him at any moment. We had lost too much to him already. I couldn't stand another loss.My father's eyes filled with a cold gleam. He did not say a word. And that caused me to be worried and confused.“You will no longer enter this castle from henceforth,” my father declared, his voice causing a chill to t
