***Henry****

The weight of the laundry in my arms was nothing compared to the weight of being unwanted in my own home.

“Where do you think you are going?” A voice is behind me as I walk through the living room of the pack house with the load of laundry in my arms. My step stopped as I knew the danger of being caught snooping around where I wasn’t supposed to be. The voice belonged to the pack warrior, Cody, who had a stern expression on his face. I quickly stuttered out an excuse about looking for the laundry room before making a hasty retreat.

“Stop right where you are,” Cody, one of the pack warriors, said, putting his hand on my hip as he pointed his finger at me. “Henry.” A smile formed on Cody’s lips as he pushed my body to the ground, making the load of laundry fall to the ground with a loud thud.

“What are you doing?” I shouted, trying to stand up, but Cody’s boot slammed into my ribs, and a sharp pain splintered through my body. Laughter rippled around me, drowning out my gasps for air. “You’re not going anywhere,” he growled, his eyes filled with malice as the surrounding people laughed seeing me struggling.

“Leave me alone, Cody,” I shouted, feeling a surge of fear and anger rise within me. “This isn’t funny,” I added, my voice shaking as I tried to push Cody off of me.

Cody laughed, kneeling in front of me, and whispered, “You should learn to keep your mouth shut.” His breath reeked of alcohol, sending a chill down my spine as I realized the seriousness of the situation. “An omega like you should know how to show respect and stay in your place,” he sneered, tightening his grip on my arm. My heart raced with fear as I realized I was truly at his mercy. His grip was so tight that I could feel the blood circulation being cut off. “Please, let me go,” I begged, as pain shot through my arm.

Cody’s eyes darkened with a menacing glint as he leaned in closer, his voice low and threatening as his legs wobbled under the weight of his anger or alcohol. “You’ll learn your lesson one way or another,” he growled, causing my heart to sink with dread. “It’s because of you, the Alpha, that is punishing me like this,” he spat, his anger palpable. “You brought this upon yourself.”

Cody kicked my side, causing me to cry out in pain. “You’ll regret ever crossing me,” he hissed, kicking me nonstop until I couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. The pain was excruciating, and I knew I had to find a way to escape before it was too late.

“What did I do to deserve this?” I whispered, feeling helpless and desperate for a way out of this abusive situation.

Cody gripped my hair, pushing my hair back, his eyes filled with malice. “You know exactly what you did,” he growled, tightening his hold on me.

I shook my head, tears streaming down my face as I tried to think of a way to escape his grasp. The fear and pain consumed me, but I knew I had to find the strength to fight back before it was too late. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered, trying to keep my voice steady despite the fear coursing through me.

Cody’s grip tightened, cutting off my breath. Pain shot through me. Desperation flooded my mind as I searched for a way to break free from his hold. "Please, just let me go,” I begged, tears streaming down my face.

“Beg me all you want, but you’re not going anywhere,” Cody sneered, his eyes filled with malice. As he kicked me to the ground, “Cody, leave him; if you continue, the Alpha will hear about this,” a voice shouted from behind him.

Cody’s expression turned to one of surprise as he released me and turned to face the newcomer. “The Alpha doesn’t care if he is dead or alive,” he muttered before storming off, leaving me on the ground gasping for air. “You think you’re special, just because you're the Alpha’s brother? You’re nothing. You don’t deserve the name you carry.”

He is right. I am nothing but a slave to an omega. Alone in the room, grasping my throbbing ribs, I knew I had narrowly escaped a brutal beating. No one was here to help me. I lay there, helpless, wondering what I had done to deserve this.

There are many omegas in the pack, but only I seem to bear the brunt of everyone’s anger and frustration.

The pack house loomed around me, its grand walls hiding the ugly truth—this was no home for me. The cold stone floor beneath me felt as unforgiving as the people who lived here. No matter how grand it looked, this was not a home—it was my prison.

My eyes stung with tears as I lay there, feeling the weight of loneliness and betrayal heavy on my chest. Pain radiated through my body with each breath I took. The bruises on my skin served as a painful reminder of the constant torment I endured.

But Cody’s words seem to echo in my mind. “The Alpha doesn’t care if he is dead or alive.”

His words hit like a dagger to my heart, reminding me of my insignificance in the pack. But he is right. No one, not even my brother the Alpha, seems to care about my well-being. I am truly alone in this pack, with no one to turn to for support or protection.

The emotional wounds cut deeper than any physical harm, leaving me feeling more isolated and vulnerable than ever before.

Xavier doesn’t care if I am dead or alive, and that realization stings more than any physical pain I have ever felt. The emotional anguish of betrayal and loneliness weighs heavily on my heart, leaving me feeling utterly alone in the world. Knowing that my only family, my brother, the Alpha of the pack, doesn’t care if I exist.

Once, my brother’s voice had been my comfort. Now, it was the silence that hurt the most.

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   2 A Part of me

    ***Henry**** A sharp sting shot through my leg as I tried to stand. I bit my lip, swallowing a groan. Falling back down wasn’t an option—not if I wanted to eat tonight. I wish I could just lie down and rest and not have to do anything else for the rest of the day. The throbbing ache in my leg was a constant reminder of the pain and abuse that had happened to me earlier. A cough broke from my mouth as I leaned to pick up the dirty laundry from the ground that Cody and his friend had crushed under their boots. I winced as I straightened up, the weight of the laundry causing a sharp pain to shoot through my ribs. I knew I had to finish this chore or I might not get any dinner tonight. The thought of a warm meal waiting for me was the only thing keeping me going as I pushed through the pain and exhaustion. I somehow managed to go to the laundry room and put the clothes in the washer before collapsing onto the couch. My body is aching, and my mind is foggy, but at least the laundry is

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   3 Mate

    ****Xavier***** I stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair, feeling the weight of five long years pressing down on me. “Did you find the culprit behind the incident?” I asked, my voice steady but with an edge of impatience.Dean, my Beta, hesitated, his eyes dark with concern. “No, not yet.”“Five years, Dean. We still have no leads,” I muttered, frustration creeping into my tone. My jaw clenched, and my fists tightened instinctively. I didn’t want to let go of the past, no matter how much it haunted me.He placed a hand on my shoulder. “Maybe it’s time to let go and focus on the present,” he suggested, his voice soft but firm.I spun toward him, my gaze fierce. “I will never let go of it. Not until I find out who’s responsible for what happened,” I said, feeling the fire rise within me once more. I closed my fist, turning my head towards Dean, my eyes filled with determination. “I will rest until I catch the one responsible for what happened,” I declared, feeling a renewed sen

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   4 You’re mine now

    ***Henry****A new day, a new beginning. I thought of pushing myself out of bed even if I didn’t want to. My body is still aching from the abuse from last night, and the lack of food only increases my fatigue. But I know that I have to get up and do my work or I might get punched yet again, and I don’t think my body is strong enough to handle any more abuse. So, I take a deep breath, muster up my strength, and slowly start my day, hoping for a better tomorrow.I took a cold bath in the common bathroom that is shared by the entire floor, feeling the chill seep into my bones; it was so cold that I could barely feel my fingers. I wish I could have warm water for a change, but that luxury is far out of reach for me. Despite the discomfort, I remind myself that this is just a temporary situation and I must stay strong.I made my room, changing and wearing the same clothes that I had been wearing for days now, but I didn’t have any other options at the moment. As I look around my small, dim

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate    5 It’s you

    ****Xavier*****“Mate,” my wolf growls, recognizing the scent before I do.But my world shook as a similar face came into view—the one I thought I would never see again. My heart raced with a mix of emotions, unsure of how to react after all this time apart.“Henry...” I whispered, my voice barely above a breath. The memories flooded back, both painful and beautiful, as I struggled to process the sudden connection that had reignited between us. Henry’s eyes held a mixture of regret and longing, mirroring my own conflicted feelings.Henry is my mate. How can this be possible? I thought to myself in disbelief. The bond we once shared seemed unbreakable, yet here he was, standing before me. As our eyes locked, I could sense that he, too, was grappling with the same overwhelming emotions that threatened to consume us both.But before I could say anything, Henry ran away from me, leaving me with an overwhelming thought of our new connection and the unanswered questions that lingered in the

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   6 I hate you

    ***Henry****“It’s you,” Xavier whispered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the pouring rain outside as his lips connected with mine in a soft, gentle kiss. For a moment, my mind went numb with shock and disbelief. The feeling of his touch sent shivers down my spine, making me forget about everything else at that moment. His smell fills my nostrils, making my wolf howl in approval, recognizing its mate.But the human in me knew this was wrong and dangerous. I pushed Xavier on his back, breaking the kiss abruptly, and took a step back, trying to regain my composure. “What are you doing? This... this doesn’t seem right,” I stammered, my heart racing with conflicting emotions. “We can’t do this.”Xavier rubbed his chin, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes dark with desire. “I know it’s wrong, but I can’t fight this pull between us,” he whispered, stepping closer. “I need you.”Xavier’s words made my mind race with desire and confusion. Despite knowing the consequences, I coul

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   7 You are bound with me

    ****Herny****Tears started forming on my face as I struggled to hold back the flood of emotions overwhelming me. Xavier’s words: “You are bound with me forever; I will not mate, but also not allow you to mate with anyone else. You are mine, and that is not a choice you get to make.” Echoes through my mind, leaving me feeling trapped and suffocated by his possessiveness. The weight of his declaration settled heavily on my shoulders, making me question if I would ever be able to break free from his control.I lowered my head, trying to hide the tears streaming down my face, as I realized there was no escape from Xavier’s possessive grip. His words echoed in my mind, haunting me with the realization that I may never truly be free from his control.I always wanted a mate, and I always wished that my mate would be loving and supportive, not suffocating and controlling like Xavier. Not someone who is my stepbrother, not someone who hates me for reasons I can’t understand. I yearned for a l

    ****Xavier****“Reject me….” Henry’s voice echoes in my mind as I struggle to comprehend the pain in his words. His eyes, filled with hurt and disappointment, pierce through me, leaving me with a sense of regret and longing. And the bruises on his body who could have hurt him so badly? And the bloodstains on his shirt, evidence of the physical violence he endured. My heart aches at the thought of someone causing him such harm, and I vow to punish whoever is responsible for hurting him in such a cruel way.But even so, why do I care if he rejects me or not? Why does it matter so much? Was it because we are mates or because, deep down, I know he is the one who truly understands me like no one else ever could? His rejection feels like a betrayal of the bond we share, making me question everything I thought I knew about our connection.“You looked stressed...” Dean’s voice broke through the silence in the car, bringing me back to reality.“It’s nothing serious,” I replied, forcing a smil

    *****Henry****A whole day has passed since the last time we spoke. And his words still echo in my mind: “I will make you feel rejected and unwanted every day if that’s what you truly desire.” What does he mean by that?And why is he soon keen about the mate bond? He hates me more than anyone else. But he still wants me, his stepbrother, to be his mate, even though the thought of it digs me.It’s not like I don’t feel any bond with him; I do, and my world is jumping and howling when he smells our mate bond. But the idea of being with Xavier in that way is unsettling. It’s a confusing and complicated situation that I’m not sure how to navigate.If there was anything that I wanted more than anything, it was someone to love me, a mate who would cherish me and make me feel complete. But the thought of being with Xavier in that way makes my stomach turn. I’m torn between my desire for love and my discomfort with the idea of him as a mate. I don’t even know why he is back in my life after f

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   164 The Price of Power

    Henry***The battlefield had fallen silent—not from peace, but from anticipation. The air hung heavy with ash and tension, as though the world itself held its breath. All eyes had turned to Cael. All ears strained to hear what none of us wanted to believe.“To awaken the blade,” he said again, his voice quiet and unshaking, “a life must be given.”A sacrifice.The weight of those words echoed louder than any scream, more final than any death.“No,” Xavier whispered beside me, his grip on my wrist tightening. “No, we’ll find another way.”Cael didn’t answer him. He looked only at me.Because he knew.Because I knew.I stepped forward slowly, as if wading through grief itself. My heart thundered with dread, but somewhere deep inside, I already understood. From the moment the Veil tore. From the moment Dean became something else. From the first howl of the Firstborn. This was never going to end with a battle. It would end with a choice.My choice.Xavier stepped in front of me, his eyes

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   163 The Blade That Demands Blood

    Henry***The sky bled fire—crimson tendrils streaking across the heavens like the last breath of a dying god. Smoke coiled in black spirals, choking out the stars, and in the glow of that apocalyptic dawn, the world trembled. Buildings burned like paper. Trees split open, screaming with sap and flame. It was as if the sky itself had turned traitor—spilling fury upon a land already drowning in sorrow.Ash rained from the heavens as screams tore through the night—raw, primal, unrelenting. The ground cracked with each tremor of advancing doom, and the air itself seemed to shriek with terror. Human and wolf alike fell, their bodies twisted in agony as cities crumbled into infernos. Roads split open, swallowing vehicles and warriors whole. The Veil had been ripped open, a gaping, bleeding scar across reality, and through its ancient wound, the Firstborn surged like a plague of nightmares—fangs bared, eyes soulless, their very presence unraveling the laws of nature. They were not just killi

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   162 The Howl Between Worlds

    An ancient howl splits the veil between worlds. As forgotten monsters rise, Xavier and Henry must choose—submit to destiny… or tear it apart together.Xavier*****The earth trembled beneath my feet, a slow, aching quake—as if the ground itself mourned what the sky had just revealed. I could feel it—deep in my bones—that something ancient had been awakened, something far beyond even Cael.I turned to Henry, still clutching his hand.“We need to move,” I said, though my voice was hoarse and dry. Like I’d swallowed centuries of dust and dread.Henry’s gaze stayed fixed on the place where Dean had stood, now swallowed by shadow.“They’re not waiting. The Firstborns—they're already moving.”The air shifted. The woods whispered.And then—A howl.Low. Deep. Endless.It wasn’t Cael.It wasn’t Dean.It wasn’t any wolf I knew.My breath hitched. “Did you hear that?”Fiona’s face went pale. “That was… one of the Bound.”“The what?” I asked, but she was already staggering back, gripping Diego’s

But my feet refused to move. The earth trembled beneath us—alive, aware… listening.And then, from the darkness between the trees, he emerged.Massive. Not just in size—but in presence. The very air bent around him.Cael.He wasn’t like any wolf I’d ever seen—not even in the oldest memory-visions whispered by the elders. His fur shimmered with obsidian and silver, like lightning trapped in shadow. And his eyes… God, his eyes. burned gold. Not the kind of gold that promised warmth or hope—no. They were molten. Merciless. Like a dying sun collapsing in on itself.Time held its breath.The wind blew.Even the trees leaned away from him, as though nature itself remembered the monster it once entombed.Henry moved first—just a step. No flinch. No fear. Just a steady gaze. And in that gaze… something unexpected

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   160 The Blood That Came Before

    Xavier***The howl still echoed through the trees, not just a sound but a memory clawing its way through time. It wasn’t the cry of a beast—it was grief made sound, ancient and unforgiving. It reverberated through the trunks, rattling leaves like whispered names of the dead. It was deeper, older, as if the very bones of the earth were mourning something long lost and half-remembered.Henry stood rigid in front of me, his shoulders squared against the wind as though bracing for a blow he could not see. The air howled around him, clawing at his clothes like phantom fingers desperate to tear away his resolve. Behind him, Fiona remained utterly still—a ghost made of defiance and sorrow. Her white cloak snapped like a banner in revolt, and her silver hair, once regal and composed, now clung wet and wild to her face, streaked with the first mournful tears of the sky.“The Firstborn?” I repeated, my voice hoarse.Fiona nodded once, her expression unreadable.Henry took a step forward. “Tell

    Xavier****The sky had begun to churn, a swirling mass of gray clouds that mirrored the unease tightening its grip on my chest. Each gust of wind that rattled through the trees carried the scent of storm and blood, like nature itself was bracing for a war it could not escape. The forest didn't whisper anymore—it groaned, creaked, and cried out in a language older than words, a warning etched into bark and bone.I walked beside Henry, our strides matched, yet his silence felt heavier than the air thick with impending rain. The fire that once danced in his eyes had dulled into a blade—sharp, steady, honed for battle. Not the wild flame of fury, but the cold precision of a man who knew exactly what it would cost to win—and was already paying.The storm wasn’t just above us. It was within us. And it had already begun to break.We were heading toward the eastern watch, where scouts had reported movement—dark wolves slipping between borders like whispers in the fog, testing our defenses wit

    Xavier***The weight of the night pressed against my shoulders as we moved with urgent purpose, each step echoing with the burden of what lay ahead. Henry walked beside me, his presence a steady, unshakable force, but even he could not mask the tension thrumming beneath his skin. The gravity of our mission settled in the air like a storm on the horizon, thick with unspoken fears and unrelenting determination. Diego was already making calls, his voice sharp and commanding, every word laced with urgency as he reached out to the scattered packs, summoning them to arms. Each call was a plea, a demand, a warning—an unbreakable thread pulling together the fragile unity of our kind before it was too late.Every second mattered. Each breath was a countdown, a heartbeat closer to the abyss of war, where hesitation meant death and unity was our only salvation.“We need to rally them fast,” Henry murmured, his voice edged with urgency. His jaw was tight, his golden eyes flickering with an intens

    Xavier***Henry and I exchanged a look, the depths of our bond shimmering between us like an unbroken thread of fate. The warmth of our previous intimacy still clung to our skin, but the cold hand of reality gripped us, relentless and unyielding. There was no time to savor the sanctuary we had found in each other’s arms; the world beyond these walls was unraveling, and it demanded our strength.Diego's face was carved from stone, his fists trembling with barely restrained fury as he glared at the TV screen. His jaw clenched so tight it looked like it might snap. The footage was a nightmare—humans scrambling in terror, their screams slicing through the night like knives. Shadowy figures stalked them through the trees, ruthless and relentless. Blood painted the earth, bodies crumpling beneath the onslaught of Dean’s wolves. Diego’s breath came harsh and ragged, his nails digging into his palms until they threatened to draw his own blood.“Damn it,” Henry snarled, his voice laced with fu

I shivered at the warmth of his breath, my body both eager and hesitant. His hand lingered on my waist, fingers curling as though testing how far he could go before I pulled away. I didn’t move. I wanted this.My hands, still wet from poking his insides, reach up to tangle in his hair, pulling him closer to me."What are you doing?" he asks, his voice full of shock and confusion."I'm just trying to get a better look at you," I reply coyly.

The playful banter between us only heightens the passion between our lips.His hand trailed down my chest, leaving sparks in its wake. I should have been nervous, but I wasn’t.
