My Stepbrother, My Mate 42 Game of cat and mouse
****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 43 Reclaim what was once lost
***Henry***“Where are you, Xavier?” I mumbled to myself, staring at the pack in chaos because of the loss of their Alpha. The tension in the air was palpable as the wolves anxiously awaited Xavier’s return, unsure of what to do next. And with many wolves injured, some severely, it was clear that Xavier’s absence was taking a toll on the pack’s morale. With the rogue attack, there has been growing concern about their safety and future without their leader.“Take care of women and children; no matter what we have, protect them,” I heard Dean ordering to the remaining wolves, his voice filled with determination and responsibility. As the beta of the pack, Dean knew it was his duty to step up in Xavier’s absence and ensure the safety of the pack.The wolves looked to him for guidance, their trust in his leadership unwavering despite the uncertainty that lay ahead. But his shoulder is bleeding from a wound sustained during the attack, a visible reminder of the dangers they faced. Despite
My Stepbrother, My Mate 44 Trust in that bond
***Henry***“Tell me how to reclaim a rejected mate bond,” I said, my voice steady despite the nerves coursing through me. I know my decision will change everything. The fate of our pack rests on my shoulders as I reclaim what was once lost.Dean smiles reassuringly, his confidence in me evident in his eyes. “First, I will ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them honestly,” he begins, leading me to a secluded area where we can talk in private.“Okay Henry, let’s start with the reason why your mate’s bond was rejected. Once we identify that, we can work on a plan to reclaim it together.” Dean’s calm demeanor helps to ease my anxiety as we delve into the details of what went wrong.A sad smile crosses my lips as the thought of that painful rejection resurfaces. That day when Xavier told me that he was meeting someone else and not me. The memory still stings, but I know that with Dean’s help, I can find a way to move forward and potentially mend what was broken.“I asked him
My Stepbrother, My Mate 45 The Rogue King
***Henry****Like a melody to my ears, a voice that soothes my soul came to my ears, calling my name softly in the wind, “Henry.” The familiar voice rings through my mind, bringing a sense of comfort and nostalgia. It was a voice that had the power to make my heart skip a beat and loosen me in its warmth and familiarity.My heart starts to race with anticipation, knowing that Xavier can hear me, and I can finally feel his presence once again. The bond between us seems to come alive, bridging the distance between our souls and bringing us closer together in a way that only true connection can. The sound of my name on his lips ignites a fire within me, reminding me of the deep love and connection we share.“Xavier….,” His name came out of my mouth like a prayer, a whispered promise of love and devotion that transcends time and space.“Henry…,” And again, his voice washes over me like a soothing balm, calming my racing heart and grounding me in the present moment.“I can feel you with me
My Stepbrother, My Mate 46 Walking in Danger
*****Xavier****“Shut up and let me handle this.” Henry’s voice came harshly from the mind link as he cut off my attempt to speak.“Henry…. Don’t you dare interfere with my plan,” I shot back, my frustration evident in my tone. “I know what I’m doing,” but Henry ended the mind link, blocking me from his thoughts completely.I clenched my jaw, feeling the weight of his distrust heavy on my shoulders. The fuck, why does he want to come here and put himself in danger? Diego is dangerous and unpredictable.I took a deep breath, knowing that I would have to find a way to work around Henry’s interference if I wanted to succeed in this mission.I stare at my smartphone, scanning the tiny, dark room that I have been kept captive in for the past week. The walls were damp and cold, the only light coming from a small window high above. And wolfbane running through my veins is making me weak and not allowing me to change into my wolf's form to escape. I knew I had to find a way out before it was
My Stepbrother, My Mate 47 You are the Alpha
****Henry****The mind link ended abruptly. As I opened my eyes, coming back to reality, I realized that I was alone in the room.Where is Dean? I thought to myself, feeling a sense of unease creeping in. I quickly scanned the room, but there was no sign of him anywhere. My heart began to race as I wondered where he could have gone.I sighed with shoulders slumping in defeat. Not knowing what to do in a situation like this, I sat down on the nearest chair and closed my eyes to think.How am I going to save Xavier from this mess he’s gotten himself into? Alpha Deigo is no one to mess with. His name alone is enough to strike fear into the hearts of many; he is strong enough to capture someone as powerful as Xavier, who is known for his strength and intelligence. Then how am I a mere omega rejected by my own pack? My mate should be able to protect Xavier from any threat.I pulled my hair as I tried to make sense of the situation. Frustration, stress, and confusion cloud my thoughts. I co
My Stepbrother, My Mate 48 My Slave
*****Xavier******“Whom are you trying to Mindlink with?” One of the Rogue Wolf Pack members asked, his eyes narrowing suspiciously. “Speak now, or face the consequences.”I narrowed my eyes, staring at the rogue wolf, glaring back with equal intensity. “What will you do if I refuse to answer?” I challenged, my voice steady and defiant.The rogue seems to be hesitant to respond, his gaze shifting as he considers his next move. “If you don’t cooperate, we’ll have to find out the hard way,” he finally replied, a dangerous glint in his eyes.A smirk played on my lips as I realized he was underestimating my abilities. “Bring it on,” I taunted, ready for whatever came next. “If you are forgetting, then let me remind you: I am the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack, and no one has ever bested me in a fight.”My words seem to strike a nerve, as the rogue’s expression darkened with a mix of anger and uncertainty. “Still, you are captive here, and you will never escape,” he taunted, his voice drippin
My Stepbrother, My Mate 49 Do you like my gift?
*****Xavier******“Untie him and drag him along even if he resists,” Diego commanded his men, his voice dripping with malice.I slowed myself to resist, but I knew it would be futile. For now, I need to follow Diego’s orders, but I will bide my time and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike back and ensure the safety of my pack and Henry.I followed Diego with his rogue warriors outside the small room that I had kept captive for weeks, plotting my revenge and waiting for the right moment to turn the tables on him.I need to remember the layout of this place and plan my escape carefully.We made our way from long corridors to an open courtyard, where Diego’s warriors were training. I observed their movements closely, noting their strengths and weaknesses for when the time comes to confront them. Upon noticing Diego’s presence, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads in respect. Diego smirked, clearly enjoying the power he held over his followers. Th

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
