All Chapters of 725 Days With My Alpha Stepbrothers : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Stephanie's POV:After showing me around a few places, it was already 10:00 a.m.—time for my first class. The campus was vast, much larger than I expected, and without Caden’s help, I was sure I would have been hopelessly lost. He escorted me to H2, the venue for my first class. The building loomed ahead, its architecture sleek and modern, with tall windows that reflected the sunlight like mirrors. My nerves were buzzing now, a mix of excitement and dread swirling in my chest.“Thanks for today,” I said, turning to him. I meant it. Without him, I might have wandered aimlessly for hours. “I really appreciate it. Because of you, I won’t spend my entire day asking random people for directions.”Caden smiled, his expression warm and reassuring. “I’d do it again anytime,” he replied, his voice carrying a quiet sincerity that made me feel at ease.He glanced at his wristwatch, then back at me. “Now, go in before you’re any later than this. First impressions matter, you know.”I chuckled ne

Stephanie's POV:Akira’s lips curled into a smug smile as she stepped closer, her dark blue eyes gleaming with malice. The crowd parted slightly to give her more space, though they didn’t miss a beat. Phones were raised, capturing every moment of the spectacle. Her friends flanked her on either side, their matching smirks making it clear they had no intention of stopping this. To them, this was just another show—a form of entertainment.“And why should I stop?” Akira asked, her voice laced with mockery. The laughter around her grew louder, a cacophony of jeers and snickers that only fueled her cruelty. My hands tightened into fists, nails biting into my palms as I tried to steady my breathing. My gaze flicked to the girl on the floor. She was trembling, her cheeks streaked with tears, her hands clutching her soiled clothes as if holding onto what little dignity she had left. Her wide, tear-filled eyes locked onto mine, silently begging for help. She looked like she wanted to vanish

Stephanie's POV:A splash of cold liquid hit my face, jolting me awake. My eyes fluttered open, still hazy, my mind struggling to catch up with reality.We found her Those words echoed in my head. I shot up, my heart racing, trying to process what was happening. Where was I? Who had found me?“You’re awake.” Akira’s familiar voice broke through the chaos in my mind, and my gaze snapped toward her.There she was, standing right in front of me, her ever-present entourage of friends at her side. I blinked, stunned. Of all the people I expected, it wasn’t her. My confusion deepened. Was she responsible for the locator spell? Were they the ones who had brought me here?“Why did you kidnap me?” I demanded, my voice cracking slightly. “Are you the one behind the locator spell?”Akira rolled her eyes dramatically, her scoff cutting through the tension like a blade. “What nonsense.”“Maybe her head’s messed up,” Rhoda added with a smirk. “Listen to her—talking all gibberish.”“Locator spell?

Stephanie's POV:The cool night air wrapped around us as we strolled through the quiet streets of Moonsdale. Beside me, Caden walked with effortless calm, his hands tucked casually into the pockets of his leather jacket. There was something grounding about his presence—the steady rhythm of his footsteps, the occasional way his silver-blue eyes flicked toward me, as if silently reassuring himself that I was still there. The serenity of the town had a strange effect on me. After the chaos of the day, I felt my shoulders loosen and my racing thoughts finally slow. For the first time in hours, I could breathe without the weight of everything pressing down on me. “I love this town,” I murmured, breaking the comfortable silence. My gaze wandered over the softly lit shops and the quaint, old-fashioned buildings. “It’s so beautiful and calm, nothing like the noisy, chaotic energy of the city I lived in before.” “It’s not surprising,” he replied, his voice low and steady. “Humans thrive

Caden's POV:The air around the packhouse was heavy with tension, almost suffocating. My footsteps echoed hollowly as we made our way to the Alpha’s training ground—a sacred space reserved solely for me and my brothers. It was a place where we had forged our strength, bled together, and solidified our bond. But tonight, it felt different. Instead of camaraderie, the atmosphere was laced with judgment, disappointment, and brewing conflict.I could see Aiden and Nicholas already waiting for us as Alex and I approached. Their figures were silhouetted against the moonlight, both exuding the unmistakable power of Alphas. Aiden’s expression was grim, his disappointment etched into every line of his face. Nicholas, on the other hand, radiated barely contained fury. His fists were clenched at his sides, and the way his jaw tightened told me he was seconds away from exploding.As soon as we were close enough, Nicholas closed the distance between us in a heartbeat. His fist connected with my
