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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 31 A moth to a flame
****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 Stepbrother, My Mate 32 I still care
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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 33 I want to leave
*****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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 34 Mysterious Stranger
“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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 35 The Right Person
“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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 36 Your protector
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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 37 I do love you
“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 69 Uncontrollable Heat
****Henry****The pull between us felt like gravity, an invisible force that I couldn't escape, no matter how hard I tried. Every breath I took carried Xavier’s scent deeper into my lungs, and it only made things worse. My wolf, the part of me that was supposed to stay hidden, was roaring to the surface, urging me to submit. But I couldn’t. I wouldn’t.Xavier, with his powerful presence, was just steps away, and I could feel the weight of his gaze on me like a physical touch. His amber eyes, the color of molten gold, locked onto mine with a knowing, patient intensity that made my heart race. I wanted to look away. I wanted to flee. But I was frozen. His power and his dominance were suffocating.“You’re fighting it, Henry." Xavier's voice was rough, like gravel being ground underfoot. The words sent a shiver down my spine, but I couldn’t let myself respond.“I have to,” I muttered, barely above a whisper, my voice cracking as the struggle inside me intensified. “I can't just give in to
My Stepbrother, My Mate 68 Torn Between Fangs
****Henry***The storm outside raged harder, its winds howling against the fragile walls of the hut, as if echoing the chaos inside Xavier. The tension in the room was unbearable, suffocating even. His anger rolled off him in waves, crackling like static in the air, and I could feel it deep in my bones.Xavier's wolf was clawing at him from the inside, desperate to break free, to tear through the world in a frenzy of violence and rage. I could feel it—his pulse quickening, his breath shallow as though every part of him was about to snap. The physical pain from his injuries was still there, but it was nothing compared to the battle waging in his mind, his wolf fighting for dominance, threatening to overtake everything. His wounds—if the wolf took control now—would never heal. And that knowledge, that fear, made every muscle in his body tense, every inch of his frame rigid with control."Henry…" His voice was rough, like gravel scraped against skin, but his eyes, wild and desperate, loc
My Stepbrother, My Mate 67 The Storm Within
****Henry**** The storm outside howled, battering the hut’s fragile walls with all the fury of a wild beast. But it was the storm brewing inside that had me on edge, a storm that was far more dangerous, one that could rip apart everything I held onto. Xavier’s body was rigid behind me, his breath shallow, his pulse erratic as we both waited—silent, still—like prey caught in a predator’s grip. Diego and Cody were still out there, their voices low and sharp, threading suspicion through the air like a blade. Their presence hung in the air, thick with the promise of discovery. It was only a matter of time. And then came a shift. A soft thud. The unmistakable sound of paws padding against the ground. A growl rumbled through the room, and a dark shape slid into the shadows, its glowing eyes filled with urgency. Xavier’s muscles tensed, every fiber of his being on alert. I could feel his anger rising, like a fire building under his skin. His control was slipping—just barely. And I knew, d
My Stepbrother, My Mate 66 Whispers in the Storm
*****Henry****The wind howled outside, battering the walls of the abandoned hut, but the cold couldn’t touch us—not like it should have. We were different. Stronger. The storm outside was nothing compared to the one brewing inside, a storm that threatened to tear us apart from the inside out.Xavier’s body was pressed against mine, so close I could feel the heat of him seeping through the thin fabric of our clothes. The hut was small, cramped, and suffocating, but we didn’t dare move. Every shift, every breath, every sound could give us away. We had no choice but to stay still, to hold on to the silence, to hold on to each other.His hand was on my waist, gripping me as though I was the only thing keeping him grounded, as though the tension between us could break at any moment. We were too close. Too exposed. I could feel his heartbeat hammering against my back, his chest rising and falling in time with mine. It was a shared rhythm, but one that only amplified the fear creeping into
My Stepbrother, My Mate 65 Unpredictable Moves
****Henry****The wind howled outside, like an animal snarling at the walls, but inside, the storm was something different. It wasn’t just the rattle of the windows or the chill creeping into the room—it was Xavier. His presence was like an electric current in the air, humming with tension, too thick to ignore. My heart beat faster, but it wasn’t just the danger outside that made it race. No, it was the way Xavier stood there, so close, so impossibly close, that it felt like the world had narrowed to just the two of us."Don’t focus on the storm," Xavier said, his voice low, almost a whisper. He stepped closer, his body shifting just slightly, like he was testing the distance between us, like he could feel the pull too. And I hated how much I wanted to close the gap.I forced myself to breathe and to focus. Cody and Diego were out there, getting closer with every passing moment, but all I could think about was Xavier and how every part of me responded to him. It was insane how quickly
My Stepbrother, My Mate 64 The Plan Unfolds
**Henry**The storm outside howled, pounding against the walls like a beast trying to break free. But it was nothing compared to the storm inside me. My heart raced, drumming in my chest, every beat echoing in my ears as I stared at Xavier. His presence—unshakable, magnetic—pulled me in with a force that defied reason. With every flicker of his gaze, every subtle shift of his body, I felt that magnetic pull growing stronger, like the space between us was shrinking with each passing second. I tried to focus on the danger, on Cody and Diego outside, but it was impossible. Xavier was too close. His every movement, every breath, was like a temptation I couldn’t resist. My pulse quickened, and I couldn’t tell if it was the looming threat of the storm outside or the storm that raged between us."Xavier," I said, the words coming out lower than I intended, almost a breathless whisper. "What’s the plan here?"The sound of my voice—it was barely a murmur, soft with need. I cursed myself for i
My Stepbrother, My Mate 63 The one who bretrayed
*****Henry******“Xav…,” Before words can come out of my mouth, Xavier takes his hand over my mouth and whispers, “Shh...” He shook his head, his turning black eyes locking with mine, silently warning me to stay quiet. The tension in the air was palpable as we both strained to hear any movement around us. My mind raced with questions, wondering what danger could be lurking nearby.What should I do now? Xavier is injured, so I have to be responsible for making sure we both stay safe and protected.Xavier tried to stand, but I held him back, not wanting him to strain his injured body; his legs hadn’t yet healed because of the effect of wolfbane on his body.Xavier seems angry at my decision, but I know it’s for the best. I place my hand on his shoulder to reassure him that everything will be okay. “Shhh, let me protect you this time,” I whispered softly, with my lips close to his ear. I can feel a heart hammer in my chest, with my stomach twisting in knots with a sense of danger and a t
My Stepbrother, My Mate 62 Danger and Desire
*****Henry******A loud howl pierced the night, interrupting our conversation and signaling the presence of danger nearby. Xavier’s eyes widened in alarm, his instincts kicking in as he prepared to face whatever threat was approaching. I turned my eyes on Xavier, both senses on alert.I could see the tension in his body as he braced himself for the impending danger, his wolf's side ready to protect us both. As the howls grew closer, I knew that whatever was coming our way would test our bond and trust in each other like never before.Xavier tried to stand but pushed his shoulder, stopping him to move. “Seat, your legs are injured,” I said firmly, my own instincts urging me to protect him as well.Xavier tried to push past me. “Henry, maybe the rogue is trying to flank us; we need to be ready,” he insisted, his voice filled with determination.“I said seat,” I repeated, holding my ground as the howls echoed through the night, signaling the approach of danger. Xavier finally relented, s
My Stepbrother, My Mate 61 The weak one
*****Henry******“You must be Omega, but you are not weak; you have something that made people exploit you.”“Tell me then, what is it that made others exploit me?” I asked, feeling my heart sink with disappointment. Xavier paused, his gaze softening as he replied, “The blood that runs through your veins has the power to rejuvenate and heal others, like a medicine for their ailments.” He took my hand in his. “But unfortunately, that same power makes you vulnerable; every time someone exploits it, they weaken you little by little until you are left drained and helpless.” I felt a mix of anger and sadness wash over me, realizing the truth behind my constant struggles.“Is that why I always feel so exhausted and drained, both physically and emotionally?” I questioned, looking for some clarity in Xavier’s words. He nodded solemnly, his eyes reflecting understanding and empathy for my plight. “Yes, because without your knowledge and consent, others have been draining you of your energy and
