MARKED BY MY STEPBROTHER

Chapter Fourteen

Sophie's POV

A gush of warm fluid ran down my thighs, mixing with Damon’s c*m. The sharp, cramping pain in my belly became more intense, taking my breath away. I collapsed to my knees on the cold stone floor as another contraction ripped through me.

“Not now..” I gasped, clutching my stomach. “Please, not now!”

Seraphina’s flickering form became more solid beside me, her golden eyes gleaming with triumph. “The vessel is ready. The child comes. Give it to me!”

Victor crawled closer from the other side, bloodied and snarling. “That pup is mine! It carries my bloodline!”

The mountain continued to collapse around us. Massive rocks smashed down, shaking the ground. Dust was in the air, capable of choking someone. I could barely see Damon through the chaos, he was fighting desperately to reach me, shouting my name as he tore through falling debris and remaining wolves.

Another contraction hit and I screamed and fell over. The golden power inside me was behaving like a wild animal, causing me a lot of pain. My heat was at its peak now, mixing everything into a feverish nightmare of pleasure and agony.

Strong arms suddenly scooped me up. Damon. He’d broken through.

“I’ve got you,” he said to me. His naked body was covered in fresh cuts and dust, but he held me like I was the only thing that mattered. “Breathe, Sophie. I’m here.”

He carried me toward a tunnel which had collapsed halfway, shielding me with his body as rocks rained down.

Seraphina and Victor both pursued us, their powers clashing and creating explosions that brought more of the ceiling down.

Damon found a relatively stable alcove and laid me down gently on a flat stone surface. His silver eyes were wild with fear and raw need. “The baby’s coming too fast because of the power. You need.. you need my knot. My seed. It’s stabilizing you.”

I nodded frantically, tears streaming down my face. The heat and labor were destroying me. “Please, I need you inside me.”

He didn’t hesitate. He spread my legs wide, positioning himself between them. I was soaked, slick, c*m, and amniotic fluid making everything slippery. He thrust into me in one deep stroke, burying his thick c**k inside of me.

I cried out, the sensation overwhelming.

Pain and pleasure mixed together as he f****d me through the contractions. Every powerful thrust seemed to ease the agony in my belly, feeding the baby with our combined energy.

“f**k, Sophie,” he groaned, pounding into me harder. “You’re so full already. So tight around me even now.”

His knot swelled rapidly. He forced it inside me with a brutal snap of his hips, locking us together as another contraction hit. The stretch was intense, almost too much, but it grounded me. I came violently, screaming his name while my body milked his c**k.

Damon roared and flooded me again, hot jets of c*m filling me so full I could feel my belly swell slightly. He stayed locked deep inside, holding me through the waves of pain and pleasure.

Seraphina appeared at the entrance of the alcove, her form flickering. “You cannot stop this! The child is the key to my return!”

Victor emerged on the other side, eyes glowing with madness. “She belongs to the Blackthorn line!”

Damon bared his fangs, still knotted deep inside me. “She belongs to me.”

He began thrusting again, short, powerful movements with his knot locked, grinding against that perfect spot inside me. The repeated stimulation mixed with labor pains sent me spiraling into another orgasm. My golden power shone brighter, wrapping around both of us like a protective cocoon.

For a moment, the baby settled. The contractions eased.

But it didn’t last.

The entire mountain was rocked work another violent tremor. The alcove’s ceiling cracked wide open. Damon curled his body over mine, protecting me as rocks fell. One large boulder fell onto his back. He grunted in pain but didn’t move, still knotted inside me.

“Damon!” I cried.

Seraphina unleashed a final blast of golden energy straight toward us. Victor countered. The two forces collided right above us in one hell of an explosion.

The force threw Damon off me, his knot finally releasing with a wet pop. c*m poured out of me in heavy gushes as I curled into a ball, another brutal contraction tearing through my body.

I felt the baby shifting lower. It was coming, right now, in the middle of this war.

Damon crawled back to me, blood pouring from a new head wound. “Sophie, push if you need to. I’m right here.”

Seraphina and Victor both lunged for me at the same time.

But something else woke up.

The ancient mountain entity was in my mind, louder than ever. The crystals in the walls blazed with light. A massive surge of raw power shot through the ground and into my body.

My vision went white.

When it cleared, I was glowing, fully golden, floating slightly above the ground. My belly was visibly rounded now, the pregnancy accelerated by all the power and mating.

Seraphina screamed in fury. “No! She’s mine!”

Victor looked terrified for the first time. “What have you become?”

I felt the baby coming and the urge to push was overwhelming. But with it came something far more dangerous, complete loss of control over the golden power.

Damon reached for me, eyes filled with awe and fear. “Sophie…, whatever happens, I love you.”

I screamed as the strongest contraction hit me.

The baby was coming.

And I had no idea what would be born with it, or if any of us would survive the birth.
