MATED TO HER BULLY STEPBROTHERS 250
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

ASHLEYI didn't know what day it was or what time of the day. I was being drawn away from the real world with each passing minute.I was being haunted in my sleep, again. And like the other times, I could hear Alpha Hendrix's voice. I always heard it in my sleep, faint at first, then louder. But I'm always unable to understand the words. It felt like he was speaking a strange language. I was tossing again. I felt restless. It was as if his claws were scratching my chest, digging for my heart. No! No! No! I sat up quickly. My chest rose and fell as I tried to catch my breath. The air crackled with an unnatural energy as Alpha Hendrix began his chant. His voice was a low rumble. It carried a creepy tone that made me cringe. His words echoed through the room, resounding in my ears. But something was different this time. I could hear the chants. “Oh dark powers of my ancestors in before me, hear my plea. Grant unto me her power. Let me have all of her strength and her will. Break her

CARSONWe set out to find Circe. Our journey took us through treacherous domains, across raging rivers, and through thick forests.How was Circe able to show up at the palace with so much energy if she had to go through such stress? Then it occurred to me that she was not an ordinary she-wolf. She probably had some hidden routes that she took.The journey to her place was not an easy one but we were driven by our sole goal, the determination to save Ashley.I almost puked when Circe's cabin came into sight.My nose wrinkled in distaste as we pushed through the thick bush to a clearing where the cabin stood. We were faced with a rickety structure. There was no trace of what it looked like years before because it had lost whatever vibrance it might have had in the past. The structure stood shakily, supported by two ancient trees.It looked like a risky mission.As we drew closer, the stench became overpowering. It was a suffocating mix of rot, stale incense, and some other unsettling st

CARSON“I hope this turns out well for us and Ashley,” I heard Brody say.I turned to look at him. A shiver ran down my spine as we got to the entrance of the elders’ cave. The air was thick with tension, fear and unease hung heavy in the air.“I just wish we did not need the elders with us on this one! If only it was something we could do on our own,” Axel whispered, his voice barely audible over the howling wind.“We have no other choice,” I replied, my voice firm, trying to hide the anxiety I was feeling.“Yeah, Ashley's life is at stake,” Brody added.I stepped into the cave, my eyes adjusting slowly to the dim light. The elders were gathered around a fire, their faces edged with worry.What was it this time?“How is your mission coming along?” one of the elders asked, his brows drawn.“We can say we have made progress. We heard about a family that possesses the power we seek. The ones who told us said you would know if we told you about them. They mentioned something about them s
