Alex's POV:

I had not known that.

I had known nothing about my mother's academy years beyond the bare outline. She had left when I was young and the leaving had been managed and explained in the specific careful way that absences in powerful families were managed and explained and I had accepted the explanation because I had been given no reason not to.

"Things were good," my father said, picking up from where she had paused. "For most of that year. The four of us. Different packs but inside th

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   301. Dad and Daddy

    Blake's POV:One week after the anniversary party the Mansion was quiet in the way it was quiet when the significant things had passed and what remained was just the ordinary warmth of a life that had arrived somewhere good.Gregory was with my mother.That was the shape of most evenings now. The two of them in the east sitting room or the garden or wherever the evening took them, Gregory's hand at her back and her voice carrying through the corridors with the specific quality it had developed this past year which was lighter than it had been for a very long time.The pregnancy was six weeks along.Gregory had opinions about everything already. I had heard four of them at breakfast and three more at dinner and Alex had received a written list from his father regarding optimal nutrition for carrying Alphas which he had read in full and then looked at me with an expression that contained multitudes.I loved my stepfather genuinely and I was also deeply grateful for the east wing.Alex an

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   Chapter 300. Dawn Howls [18+]

    Maya's POV:The moon hung low and heavy over the lake, but nothing felt as bright as the woman beneath me. Lyra’s skin was flushed, marked by my teeth on her shoulder, and the ridiculous flower crown I’d made her wear again sat crooked on her messy hair. My ring, our ring, caught every bit of moonlight as I traced it across her chest.I could still taste both of us on my tongue. My body hummed with the afterglow of too many orgasms to count, but the hunger between us refused to settle.“You’re purring again,” I teased, pressing my thigh between hers just to feel her shiver.“Wolves don’t purr,” she grumbled, even as her hips rolled against me.“Mine does.” I nipped her bottom lip. “My wife does. My ridiculously romantic, treehouse-building wife.”Lyra’s eyes darkened with fresh heat. She flipped us in one smooth motion, pinning me beneath her. The platform felt solid under my back, every plank proof of how long and how deeply she had loved me before I even knew she was ready to ask.“Y

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   299. Diplomatic Duties [18+]

    Alex's POV:After a short while, I stirred in Blake's arms, pressing lazy kisses along his jaw. The bond was still humming with leftover heat between us, warm and satisfied but already sparking with new interest."Again?" Blake asked. His voice sounded surprised, but I could feel through the bond how quickly his body was responding."Not yet," I murmured against his skin. I looked up at him, letting him see the mix of love and mischief I knew he adored. "But soon. You wrecked me so good I need a minute." I shifted a little, feeling the pleasant ache everywhere he had claimed me. "Did you mean it? The impregnation thing?"Blake flushed slightly but he did not look away. "In the heat of the moment? Yeah. The fantasy of filling you up, breeding you, watching your body change because of me. It hits something primal. I know it is not possible, but fuck, it turns me on."My cock twitched against his thigh. I could not help smiling. "It turns me on too. Hearing you say it while you were poun

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   298. Anniversary Claim [18+]

    Blake's POV:The door to our private suite clicked shut behind us, cutting off the last echoes of laughter and music from the anniversary party downstairs. One full year. One year of marriage, of learning each other in every way possible, of building a life that still felt like a miracle most days. The bond between us was singing tonight, bright and hungry, fed by too much wine, too many knowing looks from our family, and the news that had made the whole evening glow.Half-siblings. A little brother or sister on the way for both of us through our parents’ unexpected second chance. The joy of it had sat warm in my chest all night.Alex turned to me, eyes dark and soft in the low light. “I still can’t believe it,” he murmured, reaching for me. “We’re going to have a sibling. Together.”I caught his wrists before he could pull me in, thumbs pressing over his pulse points. “Yeah. We are.” My voice came out lower than I intended. “But right now, I don’t want to talk about family. I want yo

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   297. Claimed Her [18+]

    Lyra's POV:My pulse spiked. “I… may have brought one. Just in case the night got wild.”“Of course you did.” She laughed, delighted. “Top me, Lyra. I want to feel you deep while I wear your mark and you wear mine.”I retrieved the harness and strap from the discreet bag in the corner—simple, black, sized just right. Maya helped me into it, fingers teasing as she tightened the straps, kissing me senseless between adjustments.When I settled between her thighs again she wrapped her legs around me and pulled me close.“Slow at first,” she whispered. “I want to remember every inch.”I pushed in slow, watching her face; mouth open, eyes fluttering. “Good?”“So good. Move, love.”I did. Long, deep strokes at first, then faster when she started meeting me thrust for thrust. Her nails raked down my back, right over the fresh mark she’d given me, and the spark of pain-pleasure made me growl and drive harder.“Lyra, yes, harder, claim me like I claimed you.”I braced on one arm, other hand sli

  • Mated to My Rival Step Brother   296. Marked by Her [18+]

    Lyra's POV:The howling wrapped around us like a living thing, wild and proud, echoing off the lake and rising into the moon. Maya’s hands were still cupping my face, her thumbs brushing my cheekbones, the flower crown crooked on my head like a ridiculous halo. Her ring caught the moonlight and flashed dark and perfect against her skin.She pulled back just enough to rest her forehead against mine, breathing hard, smiling that stripped-open smile that made my chest feel too small for everything I felt.“May I have a wild night then?” she whispered, voice husky and teasing. “Maybe I might mark you first. Are you ready, my love wolf?”I laughed; shaky, delighted, terrified in the best way. “Here? On the platform I built so we could be alone?”“Exactly here.” She nipped my bottom lip. “Unless you’re suddenly shy about wolves knowing what we’re doing.”“They already know,” I muttered, cheeks burning even as heat pooled low in my belly. “They’re probably placing bets on who tops first.”May
