CHAPTER 001: THE INVISIBLE GIRL

Ashley Carter shoved open the front door, her shoulders heavy from another long day at Stoneridge Academy. The weight of her backpack dug into her skin as she kicked off her sneakers. School had been its usual nightmare, Ryder had been there, of course… tall, broad, and radiating that annoying arrogance. His cold stares following her through the halls again, those dark eyes lingering on her body just long enough to make her skin flush with unwanted heat. One muttered comment in the hallway "Still hiding in the shadows, Carter!?" had cut deeper than usual. He was the hockey captain, the future Alpha everyone whispered about, built like a god and twice as cruel. She just wanted a quiet evening, a shower and maybe some food if her mom had bothered to cook but the house wasn't quiet… From upstairs, the sounds hit her like a wave. The steady creak of the bed frame, her mother's breathy, broken moans floating down the hallway and deep, masculine groans that vibrated with raw pleasu

CHAPTER 002: NEW NORMAL

The morning after the wedding announcement felt like a bad dream Ashley couldn’t wake up from. She stood in front of the mirror in her small bedroom, brushing her hair with shaky hands. Her simple black sweater and jeans suddenly felt too plain, everything had changed overnight and Ryder Knight was her stepfather now and she tried to accept it. Downstairs, her mother was already buzzing with excitement, packing bags and talking nonstop about the new life waiting for them. Ryder had left early, but his scent still lingered faintly in the house—dark pine that made Ashley’s stomach tighten every time she breathed it in. Well, school was waiting. When they pulled up to Stoneridge Academy, heads turned immediately, Ryder’s sleek black car drew attention on its own, but today was different, Ashley stepped out on the passenger side, feeling eyes on her like needles. Ryder climbed out of the driver’s seat like he owned the parking lot. Tall, broad-shouldered, dressed in his hockey team

CHAPTER 003: THE FIRST CRACK

The next day at school felt even heavier than the one before, Ashley walked through the halls of Stoneridge Academy with her head slightly lowered, but it didn’t help, the whispers were barely whispered now, everyone knew already, she was the new stepdaughter, she had somehow slipped into the Knight family. She could feel the stares burning into her back as she moved between classes, some were curious, others were jealous or cruel mostly from the girls who shot her dirty looks, like she had stolen something precious from them. Ashley clutched her books tighter to her chest and tried to disappear into the crowd like she always did. But Ryder made that impossible, he moved through the school campus, his presence commanded every room he entered, his teammates surrounded him, laughing and shoving each other, but his dark eyes kept finding her and every time their gazes met across the hallway she'd jolt back and look away. Between second and third period, the hallway was packed with s

CHAPTER 004: JEALOUSY

The days in the mansion had started to blur together, but school remained its own kind of battlefield. Ashley sat on the bleachers during her free period, pretending to read a book while her eyes kept drifting to the training below, Ryder dominated the practice like he dominated everything else in his life. He moved with grace, powerful thighs pushing him across the ice in explosive bursts, his hockey jersey clung to his broad shoulders and back, damp with sweat, every time he slammed into an opponent during drills, the sound echoed through the arena. His body was pure power, muscles flexing, jaw tight with focus and she couldn’t look away, the way his strong hands gripped the stick, the way his hips shifted as he turned sharply He was her stepfather now, she kept reminding herself of that but her wolf didn’t care it watched him with hungry interest, drawn to the raw Alpha energy he gave off even from a distance. It was best to leave the area, to stay away from the temptation

CHAPTER 005: A NEW RULE

“You called,” Ashley answered, pushing the door to the study open, her fist tightening hard against the thick frame of the door, steadying herself with it. Ryder sat still, eyes hooded, a pen flickering in his palm. The look in his eyes was fierce, not entirely new, but Ashley knew there was more to this stern look. Just last night, she had disobeyed him. Mason had offered a half-filled bottle to her, and she lifted the bottle at intervals, gulping down the contents till she no longer felt her head. Ryder had found her where Mason was almost pressing against her, and quite unlike him, he carried her up to her bedroom. Now that she stood before him in his studies, trying to act like she knew nothing about what this impromptu meeting between just the two of them was about, she knew it all. The silence lingered, just the cracking sound of a pen hitting his turgid palm. Ashley moved her eyes around, the last time she sneaked in here, she wasn't lucky enough to take everything in, he h
