*****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

    *****Xavier******Henry. I clenched my fists, ready to act if necessary. But before I could make a move, Diego’s grip on Henry tightened. He twisted his arm behind his back, sending a sharp pain through Henry’s shoulder.“How does it feel, Alpha Xavier, to see your only family member suffering and in pain?” Diego sneered, his voice dripping with cruelty.Henry’s eyes turned up to me, staring at me with a mix of fear and desperation, silently pleading for help. My heart raced as I struggled to come up with a plan to save him from Diego’s clutches.I stood immune as Diego pulled Henry’s hair back, a sinister smile on his face. My mind raced, searching for a way to outsmart him and free Henry from his grasp.“I can smell your fear from here,” Deigo whispered menacingly, his grip tightening on Henry’s shoulder. “He is important to you, right, Xavier, and you are scared that he will be hurt,” Deigo taunted, his voice low and threatening. I knew I had to act fast before it was too late, bef

This was a dangerous game we were playing, but I was not about to back down now.I remained unmoving as the warriors grabbed Henry by his neck and dragged him towards the door, his eyes pleading for mercy. Diego’s smirk only grew wider, making him cough with a mix of fear and defiance. Henry’s eyes searched mine and stopped as he silently mouthed the words, “Help me.” My mind raced with possibilities as I struggled to come up with a plan to save him before it was too late.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. I can’t watch his pain, his cry for help echoing in my mind. With a surge of determination, I am ready to spring into action, ready to do whateve

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   52 The pain of betrayal

    *****Henry****Love is a false illusion that blinds us to the reality of a person’s true intentions and character. I thought these were only words until I felt them deeply in my own heart, and now I understand the depth of their truth.“Kill him.” Those words are still running through my mind like a never-ending echo, a haunting reminder of the truth of my worth in Xavier’s life.I could never imagine the pain and betrayal that would come from someone I trusted so deeply. My mate, for whom I left my pack, for whose safety I became a rogue and risked everything. Even my own life is standing immobile before me, as the rogue king ordered me to kill me in front of him.I am not scared of dying; my life is not very important anyway, but the thought of Xavier not caring about my sacrifice and betrayal cuts deeper than any physical pain. It’s a realization that shakes me to my core, leaving me questioning everything I once believed in.His face came to my mind when he stood in front of me, s

    *****Henry****Alpha Diego chuckled darkly, his eyes glinting with malice as he took a step closer, the tension in the air palpable. “I won’t lay a finger on him,” Alpha Diego sneered, “but I can’t say the same to you.” With a swift movement, he lunged towards Xavier, ready to strike.“Xavier…” my voice came out as a whisper, filled with fear and desperation. Xavier’s reflexes were quick as he dodged Alpha Diego’s attack, his own movements precise and calculated.Earning a devilish smirk from Alpha Diego “Faster than I thought,” he taunted, his eyes narrowing in amusement. Xavier’s expression remained stoic, his focus unwavering as he prepared to defend himself against the ruthless Alpha. “You shouldn’t underestimate an Alpha like me,” Xavier replied calmly, his voice laced with determination. “I’m not as weak as you think.” With a swift motion, he countered Alpha Diego’s next strike, proving his strength and skill in the face of danger.“I never thought of you as weak,” Deigo said, k

    *****Henry****Sweat beaded on my forehead as I prepared myself for what was to come. I closed my eyes tightly and waited for the inevitable punishment. I know Diego will grab my lie and will not leave me unscathed. The fear of his anger consumed me as I awaited my fate.A warm breath brushed against my ear as Diego whispered, “You know, the conquests of lies will be harsh, but you still decided to deceive me.” Diego’s words made my heart pound even faster, knowing that I had made a grave mistake. The weight of my deception hung heavy in the air as I braced myself for the repercussions of my actions.“Leave him, Diego; you have your Warth with me, not with him.” Xavier’s voice came from the back, attempting to diffuse the tension between Diego and me. But Diego’s anger seemed to be too intense to be easily quelled, and I knew I had to face the consequences of my deceit alone.“You both, brothers...” Diego said but paused with a smirk that sent a chill down my spine. His eyes narrowed

  • My Stepbrother, My Mate   55 Where is Xavier?

    ****Henry****“Now...” Xavier shouted, making me change into my wolf.Within a second, in front of my eyes, I watched Xavier doing something no Alpha had ever done before—he shifted into his wolf form. He launched at Diego from the back, a deed no Alpha Wolf had ever attempted in the history of our pack. Because attacking someone from behind is a sign of cowardice and failure, and no Alpha Wolf had ever dared to break that code of honor. But Xavier’s bold move caught Diego off guard, giving us the split second we needed to break free and make a run for it. The sound of growls and snarls filled the air as we sprinted through the dense forest, adrenaline pumping through our veins. We could hear the pounding footsteps of the creatures chasing us getting closer and closer. But I didn’t dare to look back, just like Xavier asked me to, knowing that any hesitation could cost us our lives. Instead, I focused on pushing my legs to their limits, determined to escape the looming danger behind us

    *****Henry*****“Xavier...” I called out his name, my voice trembling with worry. Xavier’s eyes fluttered open, and he weakly reached out a hand towards me, a small smile forming on his lips even through his obvious pain. “Henry…. I am glad you are fine,” he whispered, his voice barely above a whisper.I squeezed his hand tightly, feeling a wave of relief wash over me at the sound of his voice. “I am fine, but you need medical attention right away,” I replied, trying to keep my own voice steady despite the fear gripping my heart. “Hang in there; I will mind linking Dean and have him bring help immediately.”“No,” Xavier weakly protested, his grip on my hand tightening slightly. “Dean shouldn’t know about this. Just stay with me.”“Xavier, I can’t sit back and watch you suffer alone,” I replied firmly.“Shh…. I have you. I don’t need anyone else but you right now,” Xavier whispered, his eyes searching mine for reassurance.“Let me help you,” I insisted, gently prying his hand off mine.

    *****Henry*****“I know you don’t take me as your brother or mate or anything more than a slave to your whims,” I whispered, the hurt evident in my voice.Xavier looks at me, his eyes filled with regret and sorrow, finally speaking softly, “You are not my brother Henry, but you are my mate, and I do trust you more than anyone else in this world. I just struggle to open up sometimes, but I promise to try harder for you.”“You have taken another wolf as your mate, Xavier; then why do you still want me by your side?” I questioned, feeling a mix of confusion and longing. Xavier reaches out to touch my shoulder gently, saying, “Because you are the one that I want; no one else can take your place; you are my mate. No one else can take the place you have in my heart.” Xavier said, his eyes filled with sincerity.“Don’t lie, Xavier, you have claimed another wolf as your mate in front of all wolves from all around the world. How can you expect me to believe that I still hold a special place in

    ****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

    ****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

    ****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, de

    *****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

    ****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

    **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

    *****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

    *****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

    *****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
