Logan’s POV

I was on the back terrace with a cigarette when Lucas found me.

I didn’t smoke often. Only when I didn’t know how to handle my thoughts, and tonight it was clawing at my ribs.

Lucas came out and stood beside me at the railing. He’d cleaned up, too.

“Hand me a smoke,” he said.

I shook one out of the pack and passed it to him. Lit it for him, the flame catching between us in the dark. He took a drag and blew it out slowly, watching the smoke drift over the grounds.

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 39: THE COUNCIL

    Lucas's POVI straightened my tie in the mirror and barely recognised myself.The suit was charcoal grey, tailored too tight across my shoulders, the collar pressing against my throat like a hand that wanted to choke me. I hated council meetings. I hated the way everyone lowered their eyes when my father walked into a room, the way they measured me and found me lacking compared to Logan, the way they smiled with too many teeth and called me the fun one like it was a compliment.But one day … maybe soon … Logan and I would rule over these packs. So I needed to learn what was expected. Even if it bored me to death.I took a deep breath and followed my father inside.The hall was massive. Stone walls, high ceilings, chandeliers that dripped crystal like frozen tears. Every Alpha, Beta, and council representative from the region was already seated at the long table, their faces arranged into polite looks.They all stood up as we walked in.The silence was absolute. They bowed their hea

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 38: STEADY

    Aurora's POV"It's okay. I got you. You're safe."Logan whispered it to me over and over, his voice low and rough against my temple. I couldn't stop shivering. My teeth chattered so hard my jaw ached, and my stomach kept clenching, rolling, threatening to empty itself again.I leaned over the grass and threw up.He held me through it, not letting me go.One arm banded around my waist, the other hand gathering my hair back from my face. He didn't flinch. He didn't make a sound. He held me while I heaved, his body a wall at my back, his heartbeat steady against my spine though mine was trying to escape my ribs.When I was done, he lifted me. I was too weak to walk; I felt like my bones were liquid. He carried me through the dark, past the tree line, past the gates, and I buried my face in his neck and breathed him in … pine and rain and the copper smell of blood that wasn't his.I didn't look up. I didn't want to see where we were. I wanted to stay in his arms where nothing could touch

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 37: THE FRENZY

    Lucielle's POVAll I could hear was the ringing in my ears.I watched my friend on the ground, dying. Her dress was soaked in blood … someone else's, her own, I couldn't tell anymore. Her chest barely moved. Her lips were parted, her face grey, her silver hair matted to her forehead with sweat and vomit. She looked like a broken doll in a puddle of red.Logan moved.He caught Sera's hand before the dagger could fall again. He slammed her into the stone wall so hard the candles flickered. She didn't move after that. She slid down and sat still, her neck bent wrong, her eyes open and empty.Fear became a living thing in that room.It crawled up my spine and settled in my throat, choking me. I had seen violence before. I had smelled smoke and heard screaming and watched my world burn. But I had never seen this.Logan caught someone else by the throat.He ripped it out.Blood sprayed across the white cloth, across the candles, across his face. He didn't blink. He just moved to the next o

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 36: THE SESSION

    Aurora's POV"What do you mean by a session?" I asked, moving back. The candles were too hot. The air was too thick. "What is going on? And where is Logan?""Don't be scared, Aurora." Sera stepped closer, her smile soft and patient, like she was talking to a child. "You don't need him. So we sent him home."My blood went cold. "What?""Nobody deserves to stand beside you," she continued, her voice dropping to something almost reverent. "Not even an Alpha. You are the healer. Not just some dumb transfer student from Vancouver. You are finally worth something." She reached out and tucked a strand of silver hair behind my ear, her fingers lingering on my cheek. "So don't taint yourself. He is worth fucking, but nothing else."I jerked away from her touch. "What are you talking about? I want to go home.""Don't be stubborn, Aurora." Her smile didn't waver. "This is your destiny."She looked around the candlelit circle, nodding at the others. "But first... let's test if you are really as

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 35: THE WINDOW

    Lucielle's POVThud.I groaned, turning onto my side and pulling my pillow over my head. The AC hummed. The room was dark, safe, quiet. I was finally asleep for the first time in days, my body exhausted from crying, from holding my mask together, from pretending the fight hadn't drained me out.Thud.I heard the sound of something slamming against my bedroom window. It was harder this time and more insistent.I opened my eyes.The room was pitch black, my blackout curtains drawn tight. The thud came again; it sounded much more urgent this time.I threw off the covers and rushed to the window, my heart hammering, my wolf stirring awake in my chest with a low warning growl. I yanked the curtains back.Jenny stood on the thin window frame, gripping the brick with one hand, pounding the glass with the other. Her high bun had fallen loose, and her eyes were wild.I shoved the window open."Fuck," she gasped, tumbling inside. She landed hard on my rug, rolling onto her back, her chest hea

  • MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS   CHAPTER 34: CLOSE THE DOOR AURORA

    Aurora's POVI kept dancing.The music was loud enough to drown out my own thoughts, which was exactly what I needed. I moved my hips to the beat, my eyes half-closed, the fruity drink in my hand sloshing with every step I took. A hand touched my waist. I opened my eyes. A guy stood in front of me … tall, blond, wearing a white linen shirt that looked good on him. His smile was easy and confident, and he started moving with me. He wasn’t touching me anywhere else, just matching my rhythm, giving me space to say no if I liked.I didn't say no. I danced with him. I let him spin me once, my green dress flaring around my thighs, my silver hair catching the strobe lights. I laughed at something he said that I didn't quite hear. After a short while, I looked over his shoulder.Logan stood exactly where I had left him, but he wasn't blank-faced anymore. His eyes were on me … dark, focused, his jaw set like stone. The girl with the red hair was still talking to him, her hand still on hi
