My Stepbrother, My Mate 30 All to protect him
****Xavier*****“Do you understand? What am I trying to say?” I sat staring at Ruby, who was sitting in front of me with a puzzled expression on her face. I could tell she was struggling to grasp the concept I was explaining.“You want me to act as your mate?” She asks, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.I nodded my head in agreement, realizing that I needed to find a different way to explain the situation to her in order for her to fully comprehend my request. “Yes, exactly. I need you to play the role of my mate in front of all the pack members.”Ruby’s eyes widened in surprise, and she took a moment to process my words before responding. “But I don’t understand why you want me to act as your mate, Alpha.” She questioned, clearly still puzzled by my command.I took a deep breath as Henry’s face came to mind, his smile flashing before me. All this to protect him.“You shouldn’t bother with the details, Ruby. Do as I say, and I will help find your brother.” I said, brushing off the q

****Henry***I step out of the bathroom, take a long, hot shower, and feel refreshed and relaxed as I dress myself in the tuxedo Cody has given me to wear.I stare at myself in the mirror and can’t help but feel a surge of confidence as I adjust my tie and smooth out any wrinkles in the fabric. I am only wearing a shirt, and the pants are perfectly tailored to my body, making me feel both comfortable and stylish. But the bow tie seems to hassle me every time I try to put it on but fail after each try.“Are you done?” Cody’s voice came from outside the bathroom, interrupting my struggle with the bow tie. I take a deep breath and finally manage to secure it in place before responding, “Almost there, just one more minute.”“Leave it. I don’t want to wear a bow tie today.” I quickly remove the bow tie and head out of the bathroom, feeling relieved to have one less thing to worry about.Stepping out, I can feel eyes staring at me from top to bottom. I wiped my palm on my pants, which seeme

My worst fear has been confirmed: he is here.“Xavier,” a voice annoyed, called out from across the room, causing me to tense up even more. I sighed, trying to put my best smile forward, walking towards the woman who soon was going to be my mate, but only in front of the world, not in my heart. As I approached her, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the pit of my stomach.I don’t want to do this when he is here, but I have no other choice. I need to show the world that Ruby is my mate and that I am committed to this union, even if my heart is elsewhere. Taking a deep breath, I plastered on a fake smile and extended my hand to Ruby, hoping that Henry wouldn’t see through the facade.“You are looking beautiful,” I said, knowing that my ears were listening to every word that came out of my mouth.“Oh, thank you so much...” Ruby did her part, smiling as she wrapped her around mine, her eyes shining with excitement. I sighed in relief seeing Ruby act her part well with

*****Henry****“Leave...” Xavier said, staring at Cody, his voice filled with determination. I watch Cody nod his head as he leaves, but before turning his face to get one last look at me, a flicker of regret is evident in his eyes.I sighed seeing. Xavier cleans his jaw, clearly holding back his emotions. “I don’t want you,” I said, trying to get up, but Xavier placed a firm hand on my shoulder, stopping me. “It’s for the best,” he said softly, his eyes reflecting a mixture of sadness and relief.“It’s okay, Henry. I’m here to help.” Xavier’s voice came soft and reassuring, his gaze unwavering as he wrapped his arm around my leg and back, carrying my body effortlessly. I relaxed into his touch, feeling a sense of comfort and safety wash over me at that moment. But I know all emotions are just vain attempts to distract me from the pain of rejection.“Leave me…” I whispered weakly, not having the strength to push him away. Xavier held me tighter, his warmth seeping into my bones as he

“I want to leave...” I said, finally deciding to get free from all pain and start a new chapter in my life, one where I can heal and find happiness again.Xavier turned at me; his eyes filled with confusion. “What does it mean?” I took a deep breath, gathering my courage. “I want to leave all this behind and start fresh,” I clarified, determined to take control of my own happiness and well-being. “I want to leave the pack and all the memories that come with it.”Xavier grabbed my shoulder and pulled me close to him. I can see his anger and hurt in his eyes. “You can’t just leave like that,” he said, his voice pleading. “You are a part of my family, a part of me.”I brushed his hands off my shoulder, shaking my head. “A family that abused me for all these years, an alpha that ignored my presence as a burden rather than a blessing,” I replied firmly. “Even if I die, no one will mourn my absence in this pack,” I spoke with a finality that left no room for argument.“This is your home, He

“You don’t know who you are and what you are capable of. But soon, you will understand.” His words sent a shiver down my spine, leaving me with a sense of impending doom. And he disappeared into the shadows, leaving me with a sense of dread that lingered long after he was gone.“Wait...” I shouted, trying to follow him, but he had vanished without a trace, leaving me alone in the darkness. The feeling of uncertainty and fear grew stronger as I stood there, wondering what awaited me next.I felt a hand on my shoulder and spun around to find Cody standing behind me, a concerned look on his face. “Are you okay?” he asked softly, his eyes searching mine for answers.What is he doing here? Before I could respond, Cody spoke again, “I saw you walking alone and wanted to make sure you were alright. You seemed lost in thought.” He asked, staring at me intently.I jerked his hand off my shoulder, feeling a surge of anger at his intrusion. “I’m fine,” I snapped, trying to push past him. Cody re

Do you want to be the right person for me?” Cody asked, his voice hopeful yet uncertain.“What do you mean?” Cody’s vulnerability tugged at my heartstrings. He was once my bully, but now he was opening up to me in a way I never expected. “I mean, do you want to be the one who sees me for who I truly am?” Cody clarified, his eyes searching mine for an answer. “I have been rejected, Henry; a rejected wolf is nothing more than a lost soul wandering in the darkness. And I don’t want to be lost anymore,” Cody confessed, his vulnerability breaking down the walls between us.“Cody...” I whispered, not wanting to understand the meaning behind his words.But I moved closer, walking towards him, as I tried to create some space between us, my heart racing with conflicting emotions. Cody’s honesty was both terrifying and liberating, his eyes holding a depth of pain and longing that I couldn’t ignore.Cody grabbed my cheek gently, his touch sending shivers down my spine. “I need you to show me the

“Who are you?” I asked silently, my heart pounding in my chest. The black wolf’s eyes softened, and he replied, “Your protector,” he said with a voice that was both soothing and powerful. His presence brought a sense of calmness and reassurance that I had never felt before.But who is this wolf whose scent was familiar yet unknown to me? I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had encountered him before.The black wolf stood between me and Rogue, growling softly as if protecting me. I couldn’t remember where or when, but I knew I had seen those piercing yellow eyes before. But as he continued to stand guard, a distant memory began to surface in my mind, revealing a connection between us that went beyond this moment. It was as if we were bound by something deeper than mere chance encounters.I watched as he growled loudly at the rogue wolf standing before us, his protective stance unwavering. His piercing eyes were glaring at the wolf, daring it to make a move.The rogue seems to get his ba

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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 161 From Whisper to War
Xavier ****A wind colder than winter sliced through the trees, carrying with it the scent of ancient soil… and blood too old to name. Every wolf instinct in me screamed—Run. 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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 159 The Storm Within
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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 158 Call to Arms
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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 157 The Storm Before the War
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

Xavier***🚨 Trigger Warning: Read at your own risk—this chapter might just turn up the heat more than you expect! 🔥"You'll just have to wait and see," he murmured, his lips brushing against mine. 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. Henry laughs, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he leans in for another kiss. 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. My heart hammered, and I knew there was no turning back now—not when I wanted this so badly. As hi
