“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.

    “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

    “I do love you...” I heard the black wolf whisper, his voice filled with longing and sorrow, staring at me in the same way that Xavier used to look at me.“What did you say?” I asked, my heart racing with confusion and fear. The black wolf’s eyes held a depth of emotion that I couldn’t quite comprehend, leaving me both intrigued and apprehensive.“What did you hear?” he asked, throwing back the question at me. I shook my head, not wanting to repeat the words that I thought I had heard, unsure if they were real or just a figment of my imagination.I turned away, trying to ignore the intensity of his gaze, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more to his words than met the eye.“I need to go,” I muttered, feeling a sudden urge to distance myself from the situation. As I walked away, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease lingering in the air, wondering if there was more to the mysterious whispers than I initially thought.“Where are you going?” His voice called

    I stare at the black wolf in front of me, feeling a sense of connection and mystery in its piercing gaze. “Who are you? A kind of secret that you know about my existence.” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The black wolf simply tilted its head, as if contemplating my question. “When the right time comes, you will know. Go back to your pack and wait for the moment of revelation,” it replied cryptically before disappearing into the shadows, leaving me with more questions than answers.“Wait...” I called out, but the black wolf was already gone, leaving me to ponder its enigmatic message and the mysteries that awaited me in the future, only for me to stare into the darkness, with my mind racing with thoughts of what my destiny may hold.“Sometimes it is those who are seen as insignificant that hold the key to unlocking great power and potential.” His words echoed in my mind as I tried to make sense of the mysterious encounter.

    A loud howl broke the tense silence, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps approaching. Opening my eyes, I saw a figure emerging from the shadows—a giant black wolf with piercing yellow eyes. Its presence seemed to command respect from the other wolves, who backed away slowly. Running from the way they came, emptying my room of any signs of my presence, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had stumbled upon something far more sinister than I had anticipated. As I made my escape, the image of those glowing eyes burned and sharp fangs into my memory, leaving me with a chilling sense of dread that lingered long after I had fled. The howl echoed in my mind, a haunting reminder of a far more dangerous threat than I had ever imagined appearing closer and closer to me.I close my eyes tightly and try to block out the terrifying sound, but it only grows louder.“Henry...” the wolf’s voice rings inside my mind. “You fine...” The wolf’s voice was strangely comforting, as if it held a sense of

    ****Xavier****“You have 24 hours; reject my membership or let me live a life as a rogue wolf,” I whispered to myself, knowing that my decision was final. “And yeah, congratulations on finding your Luna. I just hope you don’t break his heart like you did mine.” These are the only words running through my mind right now as Henry’s words continue to haunt me, his face etched with betrayal and hurt, staring at me as I saw him walk away from me, his eyes filled with disappointment and disbelief.I knew that my actions had consequences, and I would have to live with the guilt of hurting someone who truly cared for me. But I also knew that this was the only way to protect him from the harm that had followed him since his childhood, and I was willing to do whatever it took to keep him safe. Even ready to sacrifice my happiness for his well-being.I sighed, seeing his shadow disappearing in the distance towards the dense forest. I want to follow him and confront him, but I know deep down that

    ****Xavier****I shift back in human form to confront Henry about the dangers he may face if he continues to trust the wrong people. But I can do so, so something is stuck in my throat. Burning with the intensity of a thousand suns, my skin prickling with unease as I struggled to stand on my shaky legs.A strong smell of wolfbane wafted through the air, causing my head to spin and my vision to blur. I touched the cut on my neck with shaking hands, feeling the sting of the silver blade that had barely missed my jugular.Fuck, who the hell dared to attack my back in the middle of the night? As I turn my head to see a figure lurking in the shadows, a low growl escapes their lips as they prepare to strike again. I was so engrossed in my focus on Henry that I didn’t even notice the second figure sneaking up behind me. Before I could react, a sharp pain shot through my side as another blade pierced my skin. My heart raced as I realized I was outnumbered and in serious trouble.I stare at He

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   111 A Warning in the Dark

    Henry***The pack’s respect felt good, but it wasn’t enough. Not yet.I couldn't shake the feeling that, despite this victory, I wasn't fully ready to bear the weight of command. There was still something unsettled in me, a hollow ache, an emptiness where confidence should be. Xavier’s disappearance loomed like an ever-present shadow, darkening every victory.“Diego,” I said, my voice firm but laced with urgency. “I have to find him. The pack can follow me, but I can't lead them without Xavier. He's still out there... lost, caged, somewhere.”Diego's eyes softened with concern, and his brow furrowed. “You’ve just fought for your place, Henry. You need rest. The pack—"“The pack will survive,” I interrupted, shaking my head. “But I can’t. Not without him. I have to find him.”"I know how it feels when one's mate is in danger." Diego sighed heavily, but there was no hesitation in his voice when he spoke again. "I’ll help you. You’re not alone in this."His words hit me harder than I exp

    Henry***Dean's snarl pierced the silence, a warning that this battle would be unlike any other.Then, like a shadow breaking free, Dean lunged, claws flashing under the moonlight. His roar shattered the silence as he aimed for my throat, trying to kill me in one shot.I twisted sharply, Dean’s claws grazing my shoulder instead of tearing into my throat. Pain seared through me, but I didn’t let it slow me down. My body moved on instinct, spinning on my hind legs, baring my teeth, and launching myself at him with a speed that startled even me.Our bodies collided, a feral clash of fur and muscle that sent shockwaves rippling through the ground. The pack recoiled, the circle of wolves tightening as some flinched, while others leaned forward, hungry for the outcome. My teeth sank into Dean’s foreleg, the copper tang of blood flooding my mouth as he let out a guttural snarl.Dean thrashed violently, throwing me off with sheer force. I hit the ground hard, dirt spraying around me, but I wa

    Henry***Dean’s voice sliced through the night, dripping with scorn. "The omega wants to play Alpha," he drawled, his smirk sharp enough to cut. The crowd of wolves parted around us, forming a wide circle. Their movements were almost synchronized, as if compelled by an unspoken force. Shadows flickered under the dim moonlight, their eyes glowing with a mixture of curiosity and dread. Whispers rippled through the ranks, barely audible over the low growls of those in wolf form. The tension was palpable, an electric charge in the air that seemed to grow with every breath.I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of countless eyes on me. Doubt clawed at the edges of my resolve, a voice in my mind whispering of failure. What if they were right? What if I wasn’t ready? But then another thought flickered in the back of my mind, uninvited but insistent. What if Dean’s not just here to fight me? What if he has something to do with Xavier’s disappearance?The thought hit me like a punch to the gut.

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   108 The Heir’s Gamble

    Henry***The night air was electric as the growl of engines shattered the silence. A fleet of sleek, armored vehicles snaked through the dense forest, their headlights cutting through the shadows like blades. At the center of it all was a black Rolls-Royce, its polished exterior gleaming ominously under the pale moonlight. The vehicle was a statement—a declaration of power, wealth, and unshakable authority.Inside the Rolls-Royce, Diego sat beside me, his expression calm yet commanding. He adjusted the cuff of his tailored suit, the glint of his rings catching the light. "Remember, Henry," he said, his voice steady, "this is not just a visit. It’s a demonstration. We’re not asking for their allegiance—we’re claiming it."I nodded, my gaze fixed ahead. The seat beneath me was plush, but I felt the weight of responsibility pressing down harder than ever. I just wish Xavier were fine while I carried out this mission. Diego's confidence was contagious, but I couldn't shake the feeling of

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   107 A Game of Chess

    Henry***The cold scream shattered the silence of the forest, sending a chill down my spine. It was a cry of pure agony, a desperate plea that clawed at my very soul. Xavier. The bond between us flickered like a dying flame, but I could still feel him—broken, in pain. And I couldn’t—wouldn’t—let him suffer alone.I ran, fueled by nothing but the urgency in my chest and the pounding of my heart. My breath was ragged, and my legs burned with every stride, but nothing would stop me. Not when Xavier needed me. Not when he was out there, somewhere in a cage, calling for me in his torment.The trees blurred as I sprinted through the forest, their skeletal branches reaching out like twisted hands, trying to pull me back into the darkness. Each step felt like an eternity, the ground beneath my feet slippery with dampness, the underbrush snapping in my wake. My blood surged with the need to get to him. Fast. The darkness around me was suffocating, but it was nothing compared to the darkness I

    Henry***The forest stretched ahead like a void, its towering trees stripped bare by winter, their skeletal branches clawing at the sky. The moon hung low, shrouded by wisps of clouds, casting the world in a cold, silver light. The chill seeped into my bones, but I pushed forward, my steps relentless. Each breath came in sharp, uneven bursts, white puffs in the freezing air, but I couldn’t stop.Xavier’s voice echoed in my mind, faint and broken, like a haunting melody that refused to fade.“Henry…”I could still feel the bond between us, weak and flickering like a dying ember, but it was there. It tethered me to him, urging me forward, the ache in my chest tightening with every step. Something had happened to him—something terrible.“Henry!” Diego’s voice snapped through, cold, sharp, and commanding. He emerged from the shadows, his face set with determination. “Where the hell are you going?”I didn’t slow down. “He’s in trouble. I have to find him.”"No, you don't.... You're just go

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   105 Ready to beg Alpha

    The silence that followed Dean's departure was suffocating, broken only by the steady drip of water somewhere in the cell. My hands trembled against the chains, the weight of his words settling like stones in my chest. The rage inside me simmered, threatening to boil over, but I forced myself to stay still. To think. I couldn’t afford to break now—not with so much at stake. Dean wanted me to lose control, to give in to despair. He wanted me weak, desperate, and defeated. But that wasn’t who I was. Not yet. Not ever. I tilted my head back, letting the cool stone wall press against the back of my skull. The dull ache from where it had struck earlier pulsed, a sharp reminder of my vulnerability. I hated this—being caged, helpless, uncertain. My mind raced, searching for a way out, some glimmer of hope in the suffocating darkness. And then I thought of him. Henry. His voice, soft like the whisper of wind through the trees, cut through the haze. His laughter—warm, bright, and infecti

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   104 Chains of Betrayal

    Xavier****The door groaned open, and the dim torchlight that spilled inside cast long, jagged shadows across the cold stone walls of my prison. The metallic scent of blood mingled with the damp air, the stench of my confinement clawing at my senses.And then he appeared.Dean.His figure filled the doorway, tall and broad, every step deliberate as he moved closer. The soft clink of his boots against the stone floor echoed through the cell, a sinister melody to accompany his arrival. He carried himself with an air of authority I’d once looked up to—now it was a mockery, a cruel reminder of how far he had fallen.“Well, well,” he said, his voice smooth but dripping with malice. “The great Alpha Xavier. How does it feel, being reduced to nothing more than a caged animal?”I didn’t flinch. My body was weak, chained, and poisoned, but my resolve... my resolve was the last thing I had left. I refused to let him see my pain.But inside, doubt gnawed at me. Had I lost it all? The pack, the t

    Xavier****A sudden wave of sharp, uninvited pain exploded through my mind, forcing me to stagger backward against the cold stone wall. My breath hitched, and for a moment, the darkness in the cell felt thicker, like it was pressing in from all sides. It was as if the very air around me had turned to lead, suffocating me with its weight.A voice.His voice."Xavier..."My heart stuttered, then picked up a rhythm I hadn’t felt in far too long. Henry. But it couldn’t be—could it? The betrayal still felt fresh, the jagged memories of his abandonment cutting deep every time I allowed myself to think about him."Xavier..." It came again, faint, like a whisper carried on the wind, but still undeniable. My pulse quickened, the aching bond between us pulsing like a distant, desperate heartbeat. It was faint—flickering, gasping for air—but it was there, no matter how much I tried to sever it.I clenched my fists, the chains around my wrists digging into my skin, silver burning like fire, but i
