Mated to My Fiancé’s Alpha King Brother Novel – I dragged myself down the cobblestone path. My body ached. My feet hurt. But my heart was singing. “Just a few more hours,” I whispered. “Until tonight.” Tonight was everything. No more going back to that house. No more pretending they were family. I’d already asked for time off work. My boss spat at me. Called me lazy.
Typical. Omegas always got the worst treatment. But I didn’t care tonight. I was going to Gabriel’s. My boyfriend. Soon-to-be fiancé. Tomorrow was the Lunar Assembly. Sacred ceremony. Wolves finding their mates under the Moon Goddess. Tomorrow was also my eighteenth birthday. Finally old enough. Gabriel promised we’d bond tomorrow. I could escape forever. Gabriel. Rich. Gorgeous. An Alpha’s brother.
Sure, I was just an omega. But Gabriel said bloodlines didn’t matter. Love mattered. I practically skipped toward his house. My heart hammered with excitement. Beautiful stone building in the center of town. So much better than our pathetic wooden shack. Soon I’d live here. With Gabriel. Forever. I knocked eagerly. Nothing. My smile faltered. That’s… odd. Gabriel said he’d be waiting.
He promised. I tried the handle. Unlocked. Relief flooded through me. He must be inside. Maybe preparing a surprise? “Gabriel? It’s me!” I called out cheerfully. Silence. Wait. What was that? Sounds from upstairs. My heart lifted again. He was home after all. Then I heard it clearly. Laughter. Female laughter. Moaning. My world stopped spinning. No. No, that couldn’t be— My feet moved on their own. Step by step. Up the stairs.
Each step felt like walking to my execution. The sounds grew louder. Clearer. Destroying me with every breath. Gasps. Bed springs creaking. A voice that made my soul shatter. “Oh God, Gabriel… right there…” Valerie. My stepsister. My brain refused to process it. This wasn’t happening. This was a nightmare. I’d wake up any second. The bedroom door hung slightly open. Like a cruel invitation to witness my destruction. I saw them.
Gabriel’s muscled back. Moving. Valerie’s pale body beneath him. Her golden hair fanned across his pillow like a victory flag. No no no no no. “You feel so much better than I imagined,” Gabriel panted. My heart exploded into a thousand pieces. Each word was a dagger. Valerie laughed. That cruel, sharp sound I knew so well. “Better than that pathetic omega sister of mine, I bet.
Poor little Sera probably doesn’t even know what to do with a real man.” The air left my lungs. I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. Could only feel the agony ripping through my chest. “Don’t.” Gabriel’s voice was rough. “Don’t mention her when we’re like this.” “Why not?” Valerie’s fingers traced his spine like she owned him. “After tomorrow, she’ll know exactly where she stands.
An omega like her could never satisfy you.” Each word was a physical blow. I stumbled backward, gasping for air. My shoulder slammed into the wall. The sound echoed like a gunshot. “What was that?” Valerie hissed. My wolf surged forward. Rage I’d never felt before. My foot connected with the door. It crashed against the wall. “WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?” They jumped apart.
Gabriel nearly fell off the bed scrambling for his pants. Valerie just sat up. Didn’t even cover herself. “Seraphina!” Gabriel went white. “I can explain—” “Explain?” My voice cracked. “Explain how you’re screwing my sister?” “It’s not what you think—” “IT’S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK!” Tears streamed down my face. “You lying, cheating bastard!” Valerie stretched. Finally reached for Gabriel’s shirt. “Oh, sister dear. You really thought he’d choose you?” She tilted her head.
Mock sympathy. “How cute.” “Valerie, don’t,” Gabriel warned. But his voice was weak. “Don’t what? Tell her the truth?” Valerie stood up slowly. “That Mom and Dad have known about us for months? That they practically threw me at Gabriel because they were embarrassed by their precious Alpha family being tied to an omega reject?” The world spun. “You’re lying.” “Am I?” Valerie moved to the mirror.
Ran her fingers through her hair. “Why don’t you go home and ask them? I’m sure they’re waiting. Probably with our engagement announcement.” “Sera, listen—” Gabriel finally got his pants on. “This doesn’t have to change anything between us. We can still be friends—” “FRIENDS?” I lunged toward him. He caught my wrists. “You need to calm down,” he said. His grip was tight. Bruising. “Think about your position. Your family.
You don’t want to make this worse.” I stared into his eyes. Eyes that had whispered promises just days ago. Now they were cold. Calculating. “Let go of me,” I whispered. “Sera—” “LET GO OF ME!” I wrenched free and ran. The front door slammed against the wall as I burst through. Victor and Elizabeth sat calmly in the living room, champagne flutes in hand as if celebrating something.
Between them on the coffee table lay a small velvet box open, revealing an enormous diamond ring that caught the lamplight. They showed no s
