I didn’t wait for him to say it twice. The moment his voice echoed through the hall, I ran barefoot, heart pounding, lungs burning. My legs were aching, but I didn’t care. If I had my wolf, I’d already be miles away. Faster. Stronger. Free. But right now, all I had were trembling limbs and a desperate will to survive. The grand staircase loomed ahead, its marble steps cold and cruel-looking. My foot slipped on the first step. No. Time slowed. I saw the edge of the stair. Felt the empty air beneath me. Then strong arms. I crashed into a chest, and the scent of smoke and mint hit me hard. Stephen. Why? Before I could speak, he pulled me upright and, with a swift motion, shoved me onto the nearest sofa. “You should be more careful,” he muttered without a glance, then turned and walked away like nothing happened. I stared at his retreating back, my chest heaving. What just happened? Why didn’t he punish me? Why didn’t he strike or snarl or drag me back to that room like he always did? Something wasn’t right. I pressed my palm to my chest, feeling the wild rhythm of my heart. He let me go. For the first time since I arrived, I felt something unfamiliar bloom inside me hope. A dangerous kind of hope. But Stephen… he never just lets things go. He’s calculating. Ruthless. Was this a trick? Is he planning something worse? Was tonight just the calm before the real storm? I curled into the sofa, arms wrapped around my knees. If he thinks I’ll wait here like prey, he’s wrong. I’ll escape. No matter what it takes. —----- STEPHEN My fists clenched at the sound of Kael’s voice echoing in my head. She’s not like her father. I growled, dragging my fingers through my hair. “Have you forgotten her father murdered our mother?” I snarled inwardly. I haven’t forgotten. But Selena didn’t swing the sword. She’s not him. “She carries his blood,” I snapped. “That’s enough.” You’re lying to yourself, Stephen. If she were just another enemy, you wouldn’t have followed her to the library. You wouldn’t have caught her on the stairs tonight. “Shut up.” You’re protecting her. Even now, you're trying to act like you’re still in control, but you’re unraveling. “I’m not falling for her,” I said, each word dripping with venom. Kael laughed in my mind. A low, knowing sound. Then why didn’t you let her fall? I turned, my vision red, and slammed my fist against the oak table. Wood splintered beneath my hand, shards flying across the room. “Kael, don’t push me.” You can’t silence me, Stephen. I am you. You are me. I stormed toward my phone, fingers dialing before I even realized what I was doing. Julia. I needed a distraction. Something to numb this mess. You’re calling her? That soulless parasite? “Don’t call her that,” I hissed. “She’s my girlfriend.” She’s nothing to you. She never was. Not even when she let you use her like a toy. “Enough!” I roared. But even as I spoke, I knew Kael was right. Julia wasn’t my mate. She was comfort. A place to go when the darkness inside me screamed too loud. But she wasn’t Selena. I shook the thought from my head and grabbed my car keys. I needed to fuck this out of my system. I needed to forget. But just as I crossed the threshold, I heard a soft voice from upstairs. “I need to escape. No matter what.” Selena. I froze. She was talking to herself or someone. Didn’t matter. The words were enough. Escape? A wicked grin tugged at my lips. Let her try. Let her think she's free. Because when I catch her and I will it’ll break her in ways I haven’t even begun to explore.

SelenaThe door creaked open, and my heart almost stopped.I fumbled with my phone, ending the call so fast my fingers barely kept up with my thoughts. In a panic, I threw it to the far end of the bed, hoping praying he hadn’t heard anything.Stephen stepped inside, slow and deliberate, like a predator sizing up its prey. His eyes locked on mine, unreadable but intense enough to send a wave of panic through me.Had he overheard my call? Was he here to punish me like before?I sat frozen on the bed, my back pressed against the headboard, legs trembling beneath the blanket. The silence between us stretched thin and tight.“Who were you talking to, Selena?” His voice was low but laced with sharp possessiveness.Something inside me snapped, maybe from the fear or maybe because I was just tired of being scared. “Don’t I have the right to make a call?” I said, my voice shaky but defiant.His brows lifted in surprise as if he couldn’t believe I’d dared to talk back. Honestly, neither could I

SELENAJulia dropped to her knees like a woman possessed, dragging Stephen’s pants down without hesitation. My heart pounded as I stood frozen in the corner of the VIP room, my mind screaming for my body to move, to run. But I couldn’t—not with the way she touched him, like I didn’t exist, like I was a ghost drifting in and out of their twisted scene.The music outside thumped violently against the walls, a mocking soundtrack to my humiliation.She took him into her mouth, slow, sensual, confident. I flinched like I’d been slapped.Tears welled in my eyes before I could stop them. Hot. Angry. Helpless.Why? Why would he do this to me?My chest heaved as I whispered, "Please… stop." The words barely left my mouth.He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he leaned his head back, groaning in pleasure, gripping Julia’s hair like she was his salvation.This wasn’t just cruelty. This was destruction. I wasn’t jealous God no I was broken. Shattered into pieces by the one person I had trusted with th

SelenaA harsh beam of sunlight pierces through the sheer curtain, landing directly on my eyelids. I groan, shifting under the sheets that feel nothing like the silk ones in my room. The scent is different too crisp, clean, expensive… and unfamiliar.My lashes flutter open, and I blink against the glare.This isn’t my bed.This isn’t even my room.The walls are darker, masculine. A massive bookshelf sits near the corner, and on the far wall there it is a framed portrait of Stephen, staring down at me with the same cold, calculating eyes he wore last night. My stomach twists.What the hell am I doing here?I sit up too quickly. My head throbs as if a thousand hammers are dancing behind my eyes. A wave of nausea hits, and I pause, breathing through it. I look down and gasp.I’m wearing his shirt. Just his shirt.Memories from last night flicker in my head like broken film reels Stephen grabbing my wrist at the club, his voice low and possessive, “You belong to me, Selena. I will break y

SELENASilence had never felt so heavy.I sat on the cold marble floor, tracing invisible patterns with my tiny fingers. My doll, the one with the missing eye and frayed dress, lay forgotten beside me. Something was wrong.The front door creaked open. My head snapped up just as a man stepped inside. He was a familiar face one of my father’s visitors, always with a friendly smile. But today, there was no smile. No warmth. Just the heavy thud of his boots as he walked toward me.A strange chill curled down my spine.“Where’s my father?” My voice was small, nearly lost in the thick silence stretching between us.The man crouched in front of me. His fingers brushed against my hair, gentle yet unsettling.“Selena…” His voice wavered, thick with something I couldn’t name.I swallowed hard. “Where is he?”A deep sigh escaped him before he finally met my gaze. “Your father is watching over you from above.”The room tilted.No.I had heard those words before. She’s watching over us from above,

SELENA“Watch your tone, boy!” Alpha Kingsley’s voice lashed through the air, sharp as a whip. “You will respect my late friend’s daughter. She is your sister now, and you will treat her as such.”Stephen stood rigid, his fists clenched, eyes burning into mine with raw hostility. The air between us crackled, thick with something unspoken, something dark.“I will never accept her as my sister.” His voice was low, dangerous. Then it erupted. “Her father killed my mother!”The words slammed into me like a physical blow. My breath hitched. No—that couldn't be true. My father, the man who taught me how to braid flowers into my hair, who carried me on his shoulders when my legs were too tired to walk—a murderer?A chill crept through me, curling around my spine. I took a step back, instinctively seeking shelter behind Alpha Kingsley. Stephen’s fury was suffocating, wrapping around me like an iron grip. This wasn’t home. I was an intruder.“Enough, Stephen!” Kingsley’s voice rang with unyiel

SELENASunlight slices through the thick curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. I groan, shifting under the soft cotton sheets, but the warmth disappears in an instant as they’re yanked away.“Wake up, sleeping princess. It’s almost noon,” a teasing voice cuts through my haze.My eyes snap open. I blink rapidly against the brightness, my vision adjusting to the figure standing beside my bed. A woman with dark hair pulled into a neat bun, warm brown eyes filled with amusement.“Good morning, ma’am,” I mumble, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.She chuckles. “It’s Elizabeth.”Oh. Right. I should’ve asked earlier. Embarrassment burns through me as I press my lips together.“What time is it?” I ask, stretching my stiff limbs.“Late enough for the Alpha to wonder if you’re part vampire,” she jokes. “It’s already noon.”Noon? My stomach drops. I bolt upright. “Why didn’t you wake me sooner?”Elizabeth folds her arms. “Because the Alpha ordered us to let you rest. But now that you’re

STEPHENI let the phone ring until it cut off. Then again. And again.I knew my father wouldn’t stop until I picked up, but I wasn’t in the mood for his lectures. The moment he brought her into our home, he made his choice. And I made mine.My jaw clenched as the screen lit up for the fifth time. With a sharp exhale, I snatched the phone off my desk and pressed it to my ear.“Why have you not been picking up my calls, son?” His voice carried the same controlled authority as always, but I could hear the frustration beneath it.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling. “I’ve been busy training new recruits, Dad. Some of us actually have work to do.”Silence stretched between us. Heavy. Suffocating. It should have made me uncomfortable. It didn’t.“Selena is on her way to Lycanwood Academy,” he finally said.I smirked. Of course, she is.“Is she still wolfless, or has the Moon Goddess finally taken pity on her?” I asked, my tone dripping with feigned curiosity.A loud thud rattl

SELENAThe moment I stepped onto Lycanwood Academy’s grounds, I knew my life had just taken a dangerous turn. A shiver ran down my spine, not from the crisp mountain air but from the weight of the unknown pressing down on me. My suitcase dragged behind me, its wheels grating against the cobblestone path, mirroring the anxiety curling in my stomach.The stares came first—piercing, judgmental, and laced with curiosity. Then came the whispers, hushed but unmistakable. I didn’t belong here, and they knew it.I kept my chin high, ignoring the dread clawing at my chest. I had begged Alpha Kingsley not to send me. I had pleaded. But his decision was final. Now, I was at the mercy of a brother I had never met. Did I expect Stephen to welcome me with open arms? Call me his sister? The thought was laughable.A tap on my shoulder made me jolt.“Ma’am, this way.”A young staff member stood before me, her face neutral, though something in her eyes flickered with sympathy.I inhaled sharply, pushin

SELENAHow did he know?The moment those words left his mouth, my blood ran cold.“So you liked it when he hugged you.”His voice was low, almost calm but there was nothing calm in the way his eyes gleamed. That look. The one that twisted my stomach in knots. Cold, sharp, and dangerous the eyes of someone who’d done terrible things and wouldn’t hesitate to do more.Before I could step back, his hand snapped around my waist, yanking me toward him. His grip wasn’t gentle. It was possessive, forceful. My skin crawled beneath his touch, and yet… betrayal surged through me when my body reacted heat pooling where it shouldn’t, a pull I didn’t understand.No. Stop it. I screamed at myself, mentally slapping sense back into my spiraling thoughts. Get a grip, Selena. Don’t you dare give in to this.“Let me go,” I hissed, shoving at his chest.But he only tightened his arms around me, caging me like a prisoner.“You don’t hug my cousin like that,” he growled, his breath hot against my ear. “You

SelenaThe library was supposed to be quiet. Peaceful. A place where no one looked at you too long or asked too many questions.I buried my face in the pages of a book I wasn’t reading hadn’t been for the past twenty minutes but the silence helped me breathe.Until it didn’t.A shadow fell across the page.“Hey,” a voice said, soft but clear.I glanced up briefly. Tall. Broad shoulders. Confident posture. A stranger.Of course. Just my luck.I looked back down, pretending I hadn’t heard him, letting my eyes scan the same line I’d read a hundred times. Maybe he’d take the hint and walk away.“You know,” he leaned in a little, whispering now, “it’s kind of rude to ignore someone’s greeting.”My fingers tightened around the edges of the book. Could he not feel the storm of ‘leave me alone’ radiating off me?But I didn’t want to cause a scene. I sighed. “Hi,” I mumbled without looking at him.“You know,” he said again, a teasing edge in his voice, “reading works better when your book isn’

SelenaI stood outside Stephen’s office door, my hand trembling as I raised it to knock. A cold shiver crawled down my spine. Something told me whatever was waiting for me inside wasn’t good but did I have a choice? No.I knocked once. Silence.I waited.Not even a faint acknowledgment came from the other side. But I knew better. His number one rule never enter without permission.I hesitated, the silence stretching like an invisible rope around my throat. I knocked again, lighter this time, my knuckles brushing the polished wood. Still nothing.Then his voice came, low and smooth like poison slipping into a drink.“Come in.”I sucked in a shaky breath and pushed the door open slowly.Stephen sat behind his massive desk, the soft glow of his laptop screen painting harsh lines across his face. He didn’t glance up, didn’t pause. His fingers clicked across the keyboard like I wasn’t even there.I stepped inside cautiously, the door closing behind me with a soft click that sounded too lou
My Stepbrother, My Alpha, My Man CHAPTER 10
SelenaMy legs felt like they were made of glass shaky, fragile as I forced myself down the hallway to my room. Every step sent a dull ache rippling through my thighs, a cruel reminder of what Stephen had done.I should be screaming. Throwing things. Tearing down every inch of this cursed house. But all I could do was walk like a ghost trapped between walls that had seen too much.I’m his sister.His sister.How could he? How could he touch me like that hurt me like that? The way his fingers bruised their way inside me, like he owned my body... like I was his to ruin.My hands trembled as I shut the door behind me. The silence of the room wrapped around me, but it offered no comfort. I stumbled into the bathroom, skin crawling, and turned on the tap so hard the handle clicked against the metal.I scrubbed myself raw.Soap. Water. Hot. Scalding.Still not enough.It didn't wash off the way he looked at me, with those eyes that saw nothing human in me only possession. He told me I wasn’

SelenaMy breath came in ragged gasps, and my heart pounded in my chest, a drumbeat that echoed in my ears. I didn’t know where I was running to, but I couldn’t stop. The house—his house—was massive, each hallway twisting into another, a labyrinth I couldn’t escape. The more I ran, the more I heard him, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife.“You can’t run from me, Selena. I’ll find you.”The sound of his voice made my skin crawl. It always did. But it wasn’t just his voice—it was the song. The one that had haunted my nightmares for as long as I could remember.I am a beast, capable of doing terrible things...The words wrapped around me like chains, squeezing the air from my lungs. I couldn’t breathe. My feet faltered, my legs heavy, as though the very weight of those words pressed down on me.I am a beast, capable of doing terrible things...I froze. He was getting closer. My pulse shot into my throat. My mind screamed for me to move, but my body felt like it was made o
