MATED TO HER BULLY STEPBROTHERS 247:
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

CARSONI woke up panting heavily.I sat up on the couch where I managed to get some sleep. I looked around, listening if I would hear Ashley’s voice. I wondered if, by any chance, she had called onto me.The dream was too clear, too real!I saw Ashley, she was being dragged by a strange force. She called out to me, many times.“Carson, save me!” That was all she said.I tried to reach her. I did my best, but I just couldn't. After I had battled many obstacles, the road was finally clear. I flung myself in her direction and stretched my hand to her. But it was too late. The force dragged her into a dark place where my hand could not reach.My heart was heavy with despair. I could not sleep a wink after that dream. I got up and tiptoed out of the small castle we were staying in.I did not care what happened, I just had to get as close to the main castle as possible. I had to confirm that Ashley was not calling out to me for real.I flattened my body on the wall and went close to the sid

ASHLEY I recognized them the minute I saw them. Their faces were covered as were the faces of every guard in the palace. But there was something different when our eyes met. I felt a spark on my inside. My wolf surged within me, causing my heartbeat to triple. “They have come to rescue you. Your true mates!” I tried to wrap my head around it but my mind was blurred. I knew them, I felt it strongly, but I did not know exactly why they came for me. I wanted to stay back and check what it was about, but Killian would not let me. When he insisted that I left the throne room, I had no choice but to leave. As I went to my chamber, I saw another wolf. His eyes ignited the same spark in me. We stood staring at each other and just like the other two, he also was dressed as a guard. “Who are you?” I asked, calmly. “You do not know me? Ashley?” He looked heartbroken and shattered. “I feel a connection with you, but I do not know exactly who you are.” We went into my chamber and he took h

AXEL“All we need now is to reach the palace,” Carson whispered as he crouched beside me in the forest.Things were not the same after Killian defeated us and took Ashley away. Breaking the mate bond was extreme. It made it impossible for us to connect with Ashley, thereby making the search for her longer than normal. But we finally found Killian’s pack.While he was busy shuffling between his pack and the capital,we were busy making our way deeper into his territory. We had killed many of his guards and he had no idea what was going on. We had eaten deep into his territory. We took our time, knowing that this was no small battle.As the days went on, we were able to make our way into the village, hiding behind cabins and caves.“Now that they know we are here, we have to be more careful. I would also suggest that we hurry up and get into the palace,” Brody said as we sat down to strategize.We entered the palace at night, through the back. We injected the guards and put them to sleep

KILLIANAfter the marriage ceremony between Ashley and me, a wave of fulfillment washed over me. I stared at her with pride. My labor of many years finally paid off.I instructed the maids to set up a room specially for Ashley. She was my Luna and I wanted that to be evident in e etu way. I assigned some maids a d to get. They were to ensure that her needs were met.I visited my secret room to do a power check. I was elated when I discovered that some heights which had seemed impossible a while back, I now surpassed.I had a meeting with the elders later in the day. I could see the hidden questions in their eyes as they stared at me. But no one dared to ask me questions.“The time to claim what was rightfully mine is here. It's time to ascend to the throne.”They stared at me, still confused. Then they began exchanging confused comments among themselves. I wonder how I surrounded myself with such dummies.“It's time to declare myself as king of the entire capital. I will now be the

KILLIANI took Ashley to a dimly lit chamber. It was bare and cold, save for a funny-looking bed. I had to be sure that she was ready to do my bidding. She had to prove herself worthy of my palace.I stood over her, my gaze unwavering.“You will be my Luna,” I declared, enjoying the way my voice echoed in the room, “we will be married, and you will serve your purpose.”“Never!” she barked, her eyes spitting fire.I chuckled, a low sound that ended almost immediately, “we'll see about that.”I began pacing the room, speaking of our future, of our children, of a life together. The more I spoke, the angrier Ashley became. She was not willing to do my bidding. Her eyes pierced my heart as she shot daggers with them. But I didn't care.I had come a long way on this plan. I had put in so much to ensure that I got Ashley as my Luna. Having her tight here in my territory was proof that the universe was granting my long-term desire.I tried to resist the urge to hit her. She kept swearing at m

ASHLEYThe moon was full and heavy, sending shadows all over the forest. I looked around trying to understand where we were at the time. I looked around trying to trace the road from where Killian parked his car.“My men will take care of you for the night. Enjoy the space given you in the cabin. Tomorrow, we will continue the journey to my park.”I did not respond to him, neither did I look in his direction.“You heard me right?”I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that this evil creature was the same Long Leg Ahjussi that I had known for so long. I felt miserable. I had been played. I let myself be used! To think I had sold some information to an enemy. “I want some time alone!”He looked down at me for a few seconds, “you can have your time alone but don’t try anything funny,” he said dangling his index finger in front of me.“I don't care what you would do to me!” I said, angrily.“Ashley!” he shouted, his voice laced with a wickedness, “I would advise you to corporate

ASHLEY“I am Ashley's online lover!”I stared at Killian with my jaw dropping in shock.Axel and Brody turned to look at me with confusion. I couldn't believe I was in such a terrible situation. It was too overwhelming to find out so many things at once.I thought we had escaped.Brody told me that waiting in the underground room was too risky.“That Killian guy is too sensitive and smart. We cannot let him get us so easily,” he paused and looked around, thoughtfully.Then he pointed to the wall at the other end of the room. I looked at the wall, wondering how we would go through it. He held my hand and rushed towards the wall. He stretched and tapped the wall and a pad of buttons appeared from the side. I had no idea that the wall was computerized. It opened up, creating a space for us to go through.I followed behind Brody and waited for him to close the wall again.“Carson is waiting for us outside the school walls. Just follow my lead and we will be fine. I'm sure Axel is facing h

AXELWas Killian monitoring us?I couldn't get my mind off what Ashley had shared with us. Killian was definitely monitoring us. We all agreed to be more watchful of him and to report any suspicious movement to the rest of us.I sat beside Killian during basketball training. Our team had just scored a superb goal and we were leading. Killian jumped on his feet and cheered for the goal. I remained in my seat while shouting at the top of my voice.Just then, Killian's phone chimed, and a message popped on the screen.If you let the info slip, then I think we need to act fast.I gasped and looked up. I was relieved to see that he was still occupied with cheering our teammates.His phone chimed again.She might have sensed something was off already and might have told the others. Was this about Ashley?I looked up to find Killian staring down at me. He quirked his brow questioningly at me. I ignored him and looked ahead.He sat quietly and picked up his phone. I expected him to check hi

ASHLEYHanging out with Killian was quite comforting. Being with him gave me a break from all the hurdles and pressure back in the palace. His presence always brought a sense of calm, a kind of balance in the weight of my life.There was so much to plan. I attended a series of meetings with my mates and the elders. Aside from the stress, I was getting used to the real life of royalty. But I found myself looking forward to the relief that came with spending time with Killian.I told Anita about him and I also told Long Leg Ahjussi. He said he was happy for me but he wouldn’t want someone else to take his place in my life. I laughed at him for being jealous.I reassured him that no one could take his place. While I relaxed with Killian in school, I did not discuss my life issues with him. I was careful to avoid telling him personal things and other occurrences in the palace. I felt more comfortable telling them to Long Leg Ahjussi. He was very understanding and we had come a long way.J

AXELI could not avoid the smell of sweat that filled the air in the basketball room. I sat in the front row, watching the others play, while waiting for my turn. The repeated thud of the ball against the floor echoed in my ears, while my eyes got busy with something else.I watched Killian, the new guy, with a mix of admiration and unease. His movements were effortless and his shots were calculated. There was an uncommon grace to his play that resonated with something deep within me. I concluded it had to be born from years of practice since he did not mention anything about being from a special breed or having any powers at all.But that grace, it was something. The fierceness with which he played could not be possessed by just any wolf. He seemed to have a perfect blend of expertise and that feral touch I couldn't place.At first, I'd been wary of him. His arrival had disrupted the school in a very haughty way. It felt like a sudden intrusion into our territory. But as the days pas
