LOGINđExplicit content đ âMy sweet Camila,â he chuckled darkly. âYouâre dripping wet for meâeven though Iâm standing here injured and drenched in blood. I never took you for a little sadist.â * * * * Camila has always kept her head down, kept to herself. But that was before she discovered her new stepbrother was Ethanâthe infuriating, untouchable heartthrob of her school. She's used to staying out of the spotlight, but Ethanâs arrival flips her world upside down. Brooding and untamed, heâs as tempting as he is off-limits. Thereâs a rumor heâs more than just a pretty face, that there's something wild hidden behind those intense eyes. Something dangerous. The more Camila tries to keep her distance, the more their worlds collide in ways she can't explain. With every stolen glance and forbidden touch, sheâs pulled closer to a secret thatâs as thrilling as it is terrifying. A secret that blurs the line between human and beast, love and fate. And once Camila learns the truth, sheâll have to choose: keep her distance⌠or risk everything for a taste of the forbidden.

Heâll want to know who did this, what happened, why you were taken. And then heâll find out about me. About what I am.âHe swallowed hard, jaw tight.âI canât let that happen.âAnother wave of pain rolled through my shoulder and I let out a broken whimper, fresh tears spilling down my face.Blood was dripping steadily onto the concrete now. My fingers were starting to go numb.âSo what?â I gasped, voice trembling with pain and rage. âYouâre just gonna let me bleed to death here so your little secret stays safe? Is that it? You save me from those assholes just to watch me die in front of you because you donât want Dad to know what you are? So I donât tell anyone that the guy living in my house turns into a fucking monster?ââYes,â he said without hesitation.I stared at him, mouth open, the pain in my sho
He was on his hands and knees, completely naked, chest heaving. His skin was covered in sweat and streaks of blood, his glasses gone and his hair a mess. And he was shaking so hard I could see it from where I was tied up. For a long second, neither of us moved. I just stared at him, mouth open, tears still dripping off my chin. My brain felt like it had short-circuited. The guy who had been living in my house. The guy I slapped in the hallway. The guy who left food for me every night even when I treated him like shit. That same guy had just turned into a seven-foot monster, torn two kidnappers apart, and then shifted back right in front of me. âMilesâŚ?â I whispered, voice hoarse and shaking. He slowly lifted his head and looked at me. His eyes were still glowing faintly, that unnatural light burned behind his irises like embers that hadnât fully died out. When he spoke, his voice was still thick with that deep, animalistic growl, like the monster hadnât completely let go of him
Then it started walking toward me.And each step made the old floorboards creak under its massive weight. Blood dripped from its jaws with every movement, leaving dark smears on the concrete. My breath caught in my throat.âNoâŚâ I whispered, voice cracking. âNo, no, noâstay the fuck away from meââIt kept coming.I started struggling hard against the ropes, twisting and yanking even though it only made them cut deeper into my wrists. Panic exploded in my chest like a bomb.âStay back!â I screamed. âDonât fucking come near me! Stay away!âThe monster didnât stop. It kept walking until it was only a few feet away. A broken, terrified sound tore out of me as I pressed myself back against the cold metal beam as hard as I could, like I could disappear into it.âGet away from me!â I screamed again, voice cracking into a high, panicked wail. Tears were streaming down my face now. âPlease!âA wild, animalistic growl ripped out of its throat, and it roared right in my face.The sound was a d
I donât know how much time passed after that.It felt like hours, but it couldâve been less. The cold had sunk so deep into my bones that I stopped feeling my fingers. My wrists were raw from the rope, and every time I shifted even a little, the fibers burned deeper into my skin. My face throbbed where heâd kicked me, and blood had dried on my chin and the side of my neck. I kept my head down, staring at the dirty concrete, letting the tears fall quietly because there was nothing else I could do.The men didnât talk much after that. They checked their phones obsessively, pacing around the empty warehouse. Every few minutes one of them would curse under his breath and try calling that mysterious agent again. Straight to voicemail every single time.The deeper-voiced one was the first to snap.âFuck this,â he muttered, shoving his phone back into his pocket. âWeâve been sitting here for hours. Heâs not calling back. He ghosted us.âThe scarred man kicked an old metal chair across the
I found her by accident. Well, not exactly an accidentâmore like Iâd been circling the mansion for hours, pretending to admire the gardens or the carved stonework when really, I was trying to gather the courage to do the one thing Iâd been avoiding: talk to her. And then there she was, sitting on
My chest tightened. I hated that silence more than I hated noise because silence meant âwaitingâ, and waiting meant âsomethingâ was coming.I pressed my forehead against the cold glass and sighed. Maybe it wasnât a fight, maybe it was just⌠I donât know, a heated discussion? But Iâd seen the tensi
The rest of the days that followed were⌠awkward. Thereâs really no better word for it. Awkward in that heavy, uncomfortable way where silence says more than words, and every glance feels like a reminder of the thing weâre all too scared to name. I spent most of my time in my room, tucked away
âDo you want to do something about it?â I blinked, lifted my head, frowning. âHuh?â Ethan didnât look at me right away. His eyes were somewhere in the distance, watching the line of trees swaying in the breeze. âYour mother,â he said slowly, âyour father, and Greg.â My stomach dipped, the air
