My Stepbrother, My Mate 91 You… you are Black Wolf
Henry***The forest blurred around us, shadows twisting like living things under the silver glow of the moon. Diego’s powerful muscles rippled beneath me as he surged forward, his claws tearing into the earth with relentless speed. The air was heavy with the sound of pursuit—branches snapping, guttural growls, and the rhythmic pounding of paws against the ground. Whatever was chasing us, it was fast. Too fast.“Faster, Diego!” I urged, clutching tightly to his fur, my breath coming in ragged gasps. My mind raced as I tried to process everything: the betrayal, the truth I was seeking, and now this—a deadly chase through the heart of the wilderness.A flash of movement to our right caught my eye. I twisted to see a dark shadow weaving through the trees, its eyes glowing like twin embers in the night. Another howl pierced the air, closer this time, and Diego veered sharply left, narrowly avoiding a massive shape that lunged out of the underbrush.“Hold on!” Diego’s voice growled in my mi

Henry***The forest felt unnervingly still, the heavy silence pressing against my ears as I stared at the man before me. His piercing eyes glowed faintly in the dim moonlight, their intensity cutting through the darkness like a blade.Cody. The word slipped from my lips, barely more than a whisper, yet it carried the full weight of my disbelief. "You are the Black Wolf…"His smile stretched wide, a mixture of amusement and something darker. "Surprise, surprise," he said smoothly, his voice deep and laced with mischief. "I've always had a few tricks up my sleeve."The revelation struck me like a thunderclap. Cody, the tormentor of my youth, the one who had mocked and bullied me endlessly, was the same figure who had appeared in our darkest moments, driving back rogues and saving lives. How could he be both?The memories surged—his cruel taunts, the shame he’d heaped on me in front of others. But then, his unexpected acts of protection. Like the time he had stepped between me and that r

Henry***The moonlight bathed the forest in a silver glow. I shifted. My body felt strange—disjointed, like I was becoming something else, something I didn’t understand. It wasn’t just a physical change; it was as if the very core of me was being torn apart and remade into something more powerful, something ancient. My muscles stretched and rippled beneath my skin, bones cracking as they shifted, pulling me into my true form. The world around me sharpened, the air growing crisp with a clarity I’d never known before. The wolf inside me roared to life, hungry, eager, demanding that I embrace what I was meant to be.But amidst the change, something gnawed at me—an anxiety that dug deep, like claws in my chest. This wasn’t just transformation; it was the beginning of something I hadn’t asked for. Something I wasn’t sure I was ready to face. I was becoming the prince of Rogues, a title that suffocated me.Diego’s grip tightened on my paw, pulling me through the underbrush, steadying me as

Henry***The air within the Rogues’ sanctuary carried an oppressive weight. The cheers had died down, replaced by murmurs of curiosity and expectation. The pack’s eyes lingered on me as Diego guided me toward the towering stone structure at the center of their territory. My steps felt heavier with every inch closer, like the earth itself was testing my resolve.Diego’s hand never left my shoulder, his grip firm and reassuring. "This is your home now," he said quietly, his voice steady. "The seat of your power."The structure loomed ahead, its jagged edges and ancient carvings whispering of a history I didn’t yet understand. Vines crept along its surface, as though the forest itself had claimed this place, yet it stood unyielding, a testament to the strength of the Rogues. The entrance was wide and dark, like a maw waiting to swallow me whole."It’s... massive," I muttered, my voice barely audible over the crunch of leaves beneath our feet.Diego chuckled softly. "It’s not just a fortr
Last Updated : 2024-12-20My Stepbrother, My Mate 95 Cody's Confession
Henry***The words hung between us like a tangible weight, heavy and unspoken. Cody’s gaze was hard, his posture defensive, but there was something in his eyes—a shadow of pain, a fragment of truth he wasn’t sure whether to expose. I could see the internal battle waging behind his tough exterior, and it only made me more curious. What had driven him to this point? What had shaped him into the man standing before me?I waited, holding my breath, as if the answer could change everything.Cody exhaled slowly, a deep, rattling breath that seemed to strip away a layer of his indifference. His fingers tightened on the edge of the table, his voice low, almost reluctant."It’s about loyalty, Henry. Something that runs deeper than blood. Deeper than the pack, deeper than what we choose to show others."He paused, glancing briefly toward the door, as though making sure no one was listening. "When I was younger, I had a family. A father who was part of the Dark Moon Pack and a mother who was...
Last Updated : 2024-12-21My Stepbrother, My Mate 96 The Journal of Secrets
Henry***The weight of Cody’s words still lingered in the air as I stepped into Diego's office. The walls were lined with bookshelves, the faint scent of leather and ink filling the room, but none of that mattered. My mind raced, flooded with everything I had just learned about Cody, about the past, and about what awaited me in this room.The shadows in Diego’s office seemed to stretch longer, the bookshelves towering above me like silent witnesses to the conversation. The air felt thick, as though every word we spoke added another weight to the room, pressing down on me.Diego sat behind his desk, hands clasped in front of him, his gaze sharp. His presence filled the room, heavier today than I had ever felt before. He didn’t speak at first, his eyes following me with a quiet intensity, as if weighing my every move. My pulse quickened. I had so many questions, but no words seemed right.Finally, I broke the silence, my voice barely above a whisper. "Do you really think you are my fath

Henry****The journal felt heavy in my hands, its worn leather cover cracked with age, the Dark Moon Alpha's insignia etched faintly on the surface. My heart raced as I opened it, the musty scent of time wafting from the yellowed pages. Each word I read seemed to strip away another layer of the illusion I had built around Xavier’s father—the man I thought had been a savior to me from the Rogues.The first entries were mundane, detailing pack alliances, hunting strategies, and seasonal struggles. But then, the tone shifted. The writing became more erratic, the ink smudged as if the writer's hand had trembled.“The child is extraordinary, more powerful than I ever imagined. His connection to the elements surpasses anything I've seen, but he is weak, fragile. He cannot harness it yet.”I froze, my chest tightening as I read on. The words felt like a distant echo, dragging up memories of moments I had dismissed, moments that now felt like shards of truth piercing through my denial.“The b

Henry****The revelations from the journal had struck me like daggers, each word a fresh wound, unraveling everything I thought I knew. My life, a tangled mess of betrayals and lies, suddenly seemed like nothing more than a cruel joke played by the people I had trusted most. And now, Diego—the man who had tormented me, hurt me, controlled me—claimed to be my father? The weight of it all threatened to crush me. How was I supposed to process this?I stormed out of the room, clutching the journal to my chest, as if holding onto it might stop my world from collapsing. The cold night air hit me with a sharp sting, biting at my skin, the silence around me unnerving. The faint rustle of leaves felt like whispers, secrets carried on the wind, but the sound only added to the suffocating darkness. Every step I took, my boots crunching against the forest floor, felt heavier than the last. The ground beneath me seemed to grab at my feet, unwilling to let go, like it was trying to pull me back to

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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 110 Bow to your Alpha
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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 109 The Omega’s Challenge
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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 106 To find you
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
My Stepbrother, My Mate 103 Xavier's Torment
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
