All Chapters of In My Lycan Stepbrother’s Bed: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

BLAIR’S POVI entered my room and slammed the door behind me, tears blurring my vision. I kept my head down, recalling how my day had gone.Leaving Alpha Steele’s home, no one had offered me a ride, not like I expected it after things ended that way. I tried to book several rides home, but each one cancelled on me like the universe had conspired against me. After waiting for several minutes, I finally found an old woman. “Why are you crying, child?” she asked as she pulled over to me and rolled down the window. I hadn’t realized I was crying until she asked. I wiped my tears immediately, offering her a fake smile before hopping in. “I’m okay, ma’am. Thank you for your concern.” The entire ride, I tried not to cry because she kept watching me through her rearview mirror. “Is it boy troubles?” she asked, trying to strike up a conversation. I really didn’t want to talk about it, especially not with someone I didn’t know.“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it with Granny,” sh

BLAIR’S POVMy foot tapped anxiously against the floor and the room felt suffocating as each second passed. Jaxon sat across from me, glaring with open hatred. Beside him, his father, Alpha Steele, looked irritated.To my right, my mother sat with her head down, and her face pale. Robert, my stepfather, was the only one who looked completely at ease, exuding his usual confidence. And I was the only one struggling to keep it together. In fact, I was about to lose my mind. I never thought Robert would actually step in like this to help me in this situation. When he called yesterday, telling me to prepare for this meeting, I wasn’t sure if my mother had told him everything. She had told me she wouldn’t intervene but from the way things were going, I might not be going back to Jaxon after all.Alpha Steele cleared his throat as he began to speak again. “I understand that Blair is your stepdaughter, but her father made arrangements before he passed.”Robert raised an eyebrow. “Arrangemen

KADE’S POVI felt like a piece of shit.No. Lara made me feel like a piece of shit.I accepted my father’s deal, knowing fully well there would be consequences with dating Lara. But I never expected those consequences to come wrapped in a Dior dress with an insufferable need for attention.At first, I told myself I’d break up with her after a few weeks. I’d make up an excuse to end the relationship, maybe even set her up to cheat on me. I didn’t care, as long as my father believed I had nothing to do with the breakup and our deal remained intact.But now? Two weeks felt like a lifetime. Hell, two more days and I was going to lose my mind.But how could I end it so swiftly when my father texted to remind me of our deal. He warned that ending the relationship with Lara would have consequences. I hated her voice, the way she spoke in that babyish tone, thinking it was cute when all it did was grate on my nerves. I hated how she paused at every reflective surface, checking herself out as

BLAIR’S POVI groaned as I opened my eyes, feeling a throbbing headache at the back of my head. Rubbing my forehead didn’t help much, but it was worth a try. I sat up and my eyes scanned the room, eventually landing on the opposite end, taking in the sight of Kade lying at the edge of his bed with Lara. They were finally asleep, which was a relief, but I couldn’t shake the sigh that escaped my lips.For some reason, they had stayed up for hours last night. Lara kept talking and begging Kade to come to bed, but he insisted he had work to do. “But you’ve been sitting there doing all that work,” she had whined. “You can continue tomorrow. Let’s just get some sleep.”“I’ll join you in a minute,” he insisted. “You can go to bed without me.”She sighed and pouted before saying, “I’ll just wait for you here.” I had tried to sleep, but their constant bickering kept me wide awake. Each time I thought I could drift off, Lara would exclaim something, laugh, or even scream. It felt like she wa

BLAIR’S POVI stared at my phone, frowning at Kade's text. "Can we talk? In the room, 1 p.m."I scrolled down to see if there was more to the text, but that was it. No explanation. No context. Just an expectation that I’d drop everything and show up.I scoffed, checking my schedule. Empty. A sigh slipped out. How did he know? Had he looked beforehand?Leaning back, I debated whether I even wanted this conversation. Through the window, I watched people moving through the halls, letting my thoughts drift.Eventually, I pushed myself up with a sigh, ready to go back. There was nothing else to do, and I was also curious to know what he wanted to talk about.Thirty minutes later, I was back in my room and I hesitated at the door, staring at it for a long minute before proceeding to go inside. I pushed the door open, immediately hit by the rich aroma of food. Was Kade cooking?Dropping my bag, I rolled my eyes and glanced toward the kitchen as I shut the door. Did he really think one mea
