My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 64 Facing Fears
After breakfast, I offered to clear the table, wanting to keep myself busy. Aunt Carol had some errands to run in the morning, so she left us with a smile and the freedom to do as we pleased around the pack. I washed the dishes, trying to shake off the unease that had settled in my chest, but it wasn’t long before I noticed Kate was nowhere to be found.I wandered around the first floor, my mind racing with thoughts of what might have happened. When I couldn’t find her downstairs, I made my way up to the second floor and saw her door was shut. I knocked softly, and when I heard her faint response, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.Kate was sitting on the edge of her bed, fiddling absentmindedly with a Rubik’s Cube. Her face was tense, and she seemed lost in thought, her usual lively demeanor replaced by something darker and heavier.I approached her quietly, sitting down beside her. "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked gently.Kate kept her eyes on the Rubik’s Cube, her fi
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 65 Consequences
I felt like something had shifted, like I had tapped into a part of myself I didn’t even know existed. It was as if I could sense Kate’s every emotion, every hesitation, and somehow, I knew exactly what to say to make her feel better.Kate’s eyes, which had been glued to the floor, slowly lifted to meet mine. I gave her a reassuring smile, hoping it would be enough to ease the tension between us. "Kate," I began softly, "you’re one of the kindest, most selfless, and most attractive people I know. You’ve always had this unique spark that makes you stand out in a crowd. I’ve always envied you for that. You think I’m brave, but honestly, I’ve just been forced into situations where I had no choice but to act tough."I paused for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "Do you know why I came here? It wasn’t because I was brave or strong. It was because I couldn’t cope with my situation anymore, so I ran away. I knew deep down that Michael would find me eventually, but I couldn’t face him or my f
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 66 Choosing Freedom Over Fate
For the next few days, Kate and I made the most of our time at the Ancient Woods Pack. We let loose and enjoyed the freedom that came with our little getaway. With Aunt Carol giving us space, we didn’t bother with anything that could ruin our mood. Instead, we ate good food, went on long walks through the thick woods, and cooled off in the creek. It was a refreshing break from everything.The air at the Ancient Woods Pack was cooler, thanks to the dense canopy of trees, and the temperature felt just right for us werewolves. Lying on the soft grass in Aunt Carol’s backyard, I turned to Kate, who mentioned she’d run out of the powder I’d given her to mask her scent. She decided to stay inside today to avoid any run-ins with Alpha Alex, and honestly, I was a bit worried for her.Over the past few days, we hadn’t talked much about our mate situations. But I knew that before all this, Kate had been pretty optimistic about finding her mate. I thought that after the night we talked about it,
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 67 Haunted by Dreams
Kate’s face tightened for a moment, but then she said stubbornly, "I’ll leave it to the Moon Goddess to decide." I could tell that she was still grappling with some deep-seated fears about having a mate, probably because of what she’d seen me go through. But I’d already said all I could. All that was left was to support her in whatever choice she made.“Kate, whatever you decide, I’ve got your back,” I said, squeezing her hand. “But once you meet your mate, your body changes. I’ve felt it myself. If you don’t know they exist, it’s one thing. But when you do know and still keep away, it messes with you. It’s like going against what we are.”I started to share with her my own experiences, the intense feelings I’d had with both Robert and Michael. “You and your wolf will crave each other. You'll want to be near them, to touch them. And the more distance you put between you, the stronger that urge becomes.”“You saw what kind of shape I was in when I first got here,” I continued. “If it g
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 68 Planning to Go Home
"But Alex also mentioned he was suspicious of you that night because you didn’t have a typical werewolf scent. So, why did you hide your scent? What were you running from?" David asked, his gaze never wavering from mine.I felt a wave of confusion wash over me. Who exactly was David? He had shown up early in the morning at Aunt Carol’s house, but he seemed very familiar with Alpha Alex and had all this information about us. I was trying to piece it all together when Aunt Carol came down the stairs, still wearing the nightgown we first saw her in. Her hair was slightly messy, but she had a relaxed, natural look about her.David’s face softened immediately when he saw her. He walked over to Aunt Carol and casually slipped his arm around her waist. They exchanged a quick kiss like a couple deeply in love, lost in their own bubble. I could almost see the pink hearts floating around them."Oh, the kids are still here, David," Aunt Carol said with a playful complaint, though I could tell sh
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 69 My Mate Is Here
The four of us finished our breakfast together.To be honest, most of the time, Kate and I just sat there watching Aunt Carol and David shower each other with affection. I had never seen such a clingy pair of mates. My parents were very close, but they never fed each other omelets during breakfast, let alone sprinkled it with countless kisses. It was clear they were deeply in love, and they weren’t afraid to show it.Kate seemed used to it. She’d been around them long enough to understand their dynamic. I could see why she looked forward to finding her own mate so much and why she was worried about the way I had handled my relationship with Michael. She had built up such high expectations for her future mate bond, and seeing the reality of it—the good and the bad—had scared her.After breakfast, David left to attend to some pack duties, and Aunt Carol had pre-arranged meetings, so they both went their separate ways. Kate decided she needed a nap to recover from the early wake-up call
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 70 It's Him
I followed Alex deeper into the forest, retracing the path we had taken earlier. The forest's lush canopy above created dappled patterns of light on the ground, and with each step, I grew more excited and nervous. It had been a week since I last saw Michael, and my heart beat faster with every step, like a rabbit preparing to leap out of my chest. I could already picture him in my mind—his boyish yet rugged charm, his curly brown hair, warm brown eyes, and that fresh, sweet scent that always enveloped me in comfort."Go straight ahead from here. He's in the clearing," Alex said, pointing ahead.I followed Alex's gesture, my thoughts racing with the anticipation of our reunion. Would Michael sweep me up in a hug or kiss me in front of everyone, then whisk me back to his place? I found myself smiling at the thought—whatever he did, I knew I would be okay with it.Suddenly, a thought struck me: if Michael were to lose control, the Ancient Woods Pack could be caught up in the mess. I didn
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 71 Gloomy Mood
When Alex and I first left the house, the sun was so bright that I could barely open my eyes. But somewhere along the way, the sky began to change. Black clouds slowly rolled in, covering the sun and casting a heavy shadow over everything. The air became thick and damp, almost suffocating, as if the whole sky was about to collapse onto me. I could feel the pressure bearing down, making it hard to breathe. The wind picked up, and the branches of the surrounding trees rustled and swayed violently.As I stared at Robert standing before me, all the tension, excitement, and joy I had felt on the way here vanished. My mood grew as gloomy as the darkening sky above.Once, I had imagined Robert as the one who would be with me for the rest of my life. He was supposed to be the person who would offer me a safe harbor, a place where my heart could find rest and peace. I had envisioned a future filled with happiness and contentment. But he shattered those dreams with his own hands. His hypocrisy,

My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 136 The Disappearing Act
During that time, Joanna was always off somewhere, traveling by herself. No one knew where she went. She would leave for long stretches, sometimes disappearing for years, and didn’t bother checking in with anyone. Naturally, her parents freaked out, not knowing if she was safe or if something bad had happened to her.As I sat there by the water, Sasha handed me a drink. It was this weird, green liquid that I wasn’t sure about at first, but after a sip, I realized it was lemon tea, with a hint of mint. Not bad at all, really refreshing."And then?" I asked, curious about what happened next with Joanna.Sasha sighed, shaking her head like she regretted it a little. “Well, her parents eventually went to Michael's dad for help. Since Michael was good at handling this kind of stuff, his dad put him in charge of finding Joanna.”I sipped my drink again, enjoying the way the mint cooled me down from the inside. "So, Michael went after her?"Sasha looked at me with a mix of guilt and understa
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 135 Sasha Spills the Tea
Joanna might be an amazing actress, but honestly? She's not fooling me. It's like she's playing a role, trying to be someone she's not—probably because she can't stand that Michael and I are together. I could feel her trying to mess with us, but I wasn’t about to let her win. If she wanted to act, well, I could act too.The sunlight felt warm on my skin as I stood there watching her. I smiled confidently, letting Joanna see me looking totally unbothered. She dove into the water with all the grace of a fish. I had to admit, she did have an incredible body—she was rocking a white bikini that had these thin straps crisscrossing over her chest and waist, making her look like some kind of living sculpture. Even the lower half of her bikini had those same crisscrossing straps under her belly button. Honestly, it was a look.Meanwhile, Sasha was already in the water, her swimsuit much louder and flashier than Joanna's. She was wearing this fluorescent green bikini with stripes and a skirt th
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 134 Almost Losing It
Joanna’s POV“So, I’m not the kind of girl who lets a man push her around. After all that happened, I left anyway. But no matter how long I stayed away, I’d always get messages from Michael. Some of them were about family stuff, other times he’d talk about finding his mate or being engaged or something. Honestly, it was pretty confusing for me during that time.”Despite saying she was troubled, a small smile crept onto Joanna's face as if remembering something amusing.“Eventually, I figured out that all of those excuses were just Michael’s way of trying to get me to come back. There was never a fiancée or mate. It was all just a big story. So, I was a little surprised when I heard this morning that you two were mates. But, hey, you’re mates arranged by the Moon Goddess, so everything should be fine, right?”Joanna finished her little story with a bright smile, clearly satisfied with herself. But me? I was furious. My fists were clenched so tightly, I could feel my nails digging into
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 133 Win You Back
It wasn't until Michael had completely disappeared from view that I became aware of the unsettling stare from behind. I could feel Joanna’s eyes boring into me, but I refused to acknowledge her directly. Instead, I turned and made my way toward my room, hoping to escape the tension she brought with her presence.But, of course, Joanna just happened to be standing in my path.She wore that same infuriating smile, the one that didn’t quite reach her eyes. "Your relationship with Michael seems... strong. You’re quite adorable when you're with him, Cecily."Her words dripped with something—sarcasm? Malice? It was hard to tell. I wasn’t sure what she was getting at, but I didn’t care to find out. I wasn’t in the mood to engage with her."I'm heading back to my room," I said, keeping my tone as neutral as possible."I know I upset you yesterday, and for that, I’m truly sorry," Joanna replied, taking a step closer as if that would make her words more sincere. "I didn’t mean to offend you. Le
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 132 Forced Smiles
Joanna's giggle echoed through the room, its beauty contrasting with the venomous intent behind it. Her voice was as sweet as a siren’s, but I could feel the malicious undertones. "Former friends, Sasha? That's not quite accurate. Michael and I were more than friends."I knew Joanna was up to no good. I had seen it in her eyes the moment I met her. Whatever her goal was—whether to make me jealous, provoke anger, or worse—I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me unravel.She turned her gaze toward Michael, who remained focused on his coffee cup, now almost empty. He hadn’t acknowledged her presence, which gave me some comfort, but Joanna wasn’t finished. "If you two are truly mates," she said, her voice dripping with false innocence, "may I ask, was it the Moon Goddess who arranged this, or did Michael choose you?"Her question cut deep, even though it was wrapped in a seemingly casual tone. I clenched my fists under the table, my wolf surging with rage. Joanna was impl
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 131 Old Friend
"Would you like to come downstairs for breakfast, or should I bring it up to you?" Michael asked, his voice soft and tender. As he spoke, he reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair away from my face. His touch sent a warm shiver down my spine, the closeness between us undeniable.I found myself smiling at Michael, wondering how I hadn’t fully appreciated this side of him before. I had always been so caught up in our arguments, his domineering ways, and the battles for control that I had somehow missed these moments where he could be... sweet. The realization washed over me—there was more to him than the arrogance and possessiveness I had been focusing on. If I allowed myself to let go of the tension between us, there was an undeniable pleasure in being with him.“I’d like to go downstairs to eat,” I replied with a soft smile, feeling more at ease than I had in a while.We walked down the stairs together, and I found myself momentarily at peace. But as we descended, my mind wande
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 130 Waking Up in the Morning
The night had ended in a comfortable silence, with both of us content in each other's presence. By the time I had finished my tasks, Michael was still seated at his desk, absorbed in a pile of paperwork. His brow furrowed in concentration, and I didn’t have the heart to disturb him, nor did I want to leave his side. So, I watched him, feeling the steady calm he radiated.Before I knew it, I had dozed off in the warm cocoon of the study, lulled by the scent of Michael that filled the room. It wasn’t long before I felt someone gently lift me. I knew it was Michael, and feeling safe in his arms, I allowed myself to drift deeper into sleep.When I finally woke up, the morning light was already creeping in through the curtains. My body felt well-rested and refreshed. At some point during the night, I had been changed into my pajamas, and I couldn’t help but wonder if Michael had been the one to wash and dress me while I slept. A small smile tugged at my lips at the thought.I glanced to my
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 129 Two Relationships
"Oh god, absolutely not," Michael exclaimed, his voice laced with frustration. "Yes, we had a relationship in the past, but we broke up a long time ago. Joanna came by a few times after that, but it wasn’t for me. She had business with Samuel and others. I was too busy to even notice when she came or left. But I swear, Cecily, nothing happened between us after we ended things."I turned to face him, my mind clouded with uncertainty. Should I believe him? Jealousy burned inside me, poisoning my thoughts. The mere idea of him being intimate with Joanna made my skin crawl."My little wolf," Michael's voice softened as he lifted my chin gently. His expression was tinged with regret. "If you want me to apologize for my past, I can. But remember, I’ve lived a long life, Cecily. I’m not a saint—I’ve had relationships, felt emotions, just like anyone else. But if you're blaming me for something more than that, it's unfair. I’ve never been in two relationships at the same time. When I met you,
My Twin Alpha Stepbrother Mates 128 Ex-Girlfriend
"I can't just pretend nothing happened, especially after my wolf reacted the way it did." I shrugged, trying to stay calm. "I need to know, Michael. I'd rather hear it from you than find out through Sasha."Michael hesitated, his brown eyes locked on mine as if weighing his options. I held his gaze, determined to get the truth. If he wanted honesty between us, he needed to practice it too."Okay," he muttered, running his hand through his hair, clearly uncomfortable. "She's... a friend."A friend? Joanna's behavior toward Michael was far from friendly. It was passionate, intense—nothing like the casual interactions between Sasha and him. I took a deep breath and asked the question I had been avoiding but couldn't ignore any longer."An ex-girlfriend?"Michael's expression stiffened. He didn’t nod, but he didn’t shake his head either. Silence hung between us, thick and heavy. I knew the truth was coming, but it didn’t make the waiting any easier. If Michael wanted me to be honest with
