MARKED BY MY STEPBROTHER

Chapter Twelve

Sophie's POV

“Damon!”

I screamed his name as I held his head in my lap. He wasn't moving at all, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his silver eyes half-closed and unable to focus on anything.

The attack from Victor had Damon bleeding out of his shoulder, and it wasn't easy to stop the bleeding as Victor's blade had some essence to it. Damon's breathing was now shallow and his pulse was fading bit by bit.

“No, no, no..” I cried, pressing my hands over the worst of the wound. Golden energy sparked weakly from my palms, but I didn’t know how to direct it. “Stay with me. Please.”

Victor’s cruel laugh could be heard reverberating through the chamber. “Now that's pathetic. Even my own son couldn’t protect his forbidden whore.”

Seraphina’s ethereal form looked angry as she gathered another wave of golden power. “He interfered with my vessel. Now I will take what is mine.”

The heat inside me was unbearable now. My body burned with need even as I was highly terrified. Slick mixed with Damon’s c*m continued to leak down my thighs. My n*****s were tight and aching. Every pulse of my heart sent another throb straight to my core.

I looked down at Damon’s face. “I won’t let them take us,” I whispered.

Then I just let it happen.

The golden power inside of me was let out in an uncontrolled burst. A brilliant dome of light erupted from my body, aiming for both Victor and Seraphina, and slammed them backward. The shadowy spirits screeched and dissolved. For a brief moment, the entire chamber was filled with daylight.

Victor was the first to recover, wiping blood from his lip. “Impressive. But you’re still just a girl playing with power she doesn’t understand.” He raised his hand and more of his elite wolves filled the chamber, surrounding us.

Seraphina rose slowly, her eyes burning with hatred. “You are my blood. You belong to me.”

I stood on shaky legs, completely naked now, c*m still dripping down my inner thighs, and positioned myself over Damon’s body protectively. My claws were fully extended, glowing gold.

“Come and take me then,” I snarled at her.

Victor smirked. “With pleasure.”

He signaled his wolves and they attacked from all sides.

I fought like a wild animal, because that was exactly what I had become. Claws slashed, golden energy flared every time they got too close. But I was exhausted, in full heat, and pregnant. One wolf managed to tackle me to the ground. His heavy body pinned me as he ground his erection against my ass.

“Get off her!” Damon’s weak roar came from behind me. He was trying to shift, but the injury kept him from fully transforming.

The wolf on top of me laughed and reached between my legs, fingers probing my soaked, c*m-filled p***y. “She’s already so wet and ready. Maybe I’ll have a taste before the Alpha claims her.”

I was disgusted at what he had done so I drove my elbow back and unleashed another burst of golden power. The wolf flew off me, slamming into the wall with a sickening crunch.

But more kept coming.

Victor approached slowly, eyes gleaming with lust and greed as they raked over my naked, marked body. “Look at you.. dripping with my son’s seed, belly already swelling with the next Alpha. You’ll make such a perfect breeding Luna.”

He grabbed me by the throat and hit me against the stone throne. His other hand roughly cupped my breast, pinching my n****e hard. I cried out in pain and unwanted pleasure as my heat responded to any touch.

Damon tried to crawl toward us, leaving a trail of blood. “Don’t.. you.. touch her..”

Seraphina watched with amusement. “Let them fight over you, daughter. The strongest will claim you.. and I will claim them all in the end.”

Victor leaned in, his breath hot against my ear. “I’m going to f**k you right here while my son watches. Then I’ll knot you myself and take back what’s mine.”

His hand slid down my stomach toward my dripping core.

Pure instinct took over.

I grabbed his wrist and pushed every ounce of golden power I had into him.

Victor screamed as golden light burned through his veins. He staggered backward, clutching his arm, which was now marked with glowing runes.

“You little b***h!” he roared.

Seraphina chose that moment to strike. She unleashed a devastating wave of energy straight at Victor. The two ancient powers collided in the center of the chamber in a violent explosion that shook the entire mountain.

Rocks fell from the ceiling until the throne cracked.

In the chaos, I dropped to my knees beside Damon and pressed my hands to his chest. “Please... wake up. I need you.”

I knew that I had to do something at this point. So I just imagined it happening. A faint golden glow transferred from me to him. His wounds began closing faster. A bit later, his silver eyes flew open, and locked onto mine.

“Sophie..” he said, pulling me down for a desperate, bloody kiss. Even injured, his hand slid between my legs, fingers pushing into my soaked p***y. “Need you.. one more time.”

The heat was too strong. Despite everything, I straddled him right there on the bloody floor as rocks continued to fall around us. I sank down onto his c**k, riding him hard and fast while the battle between Victor and Seraphina went on.

“Yes,” Damon groaned, hands gripping my ass as he thrust up into me. “Take my knot again. Let them watch.”

His knot swelled and locked us together as we both came violently, my screams mixing with his roar.

But as we stayed knotted, panting and connected, the mountain gave one final, violent shudder.

A massive crack split the ceiling directly above us.

Huge boulders began plummeting down.

And in the middle of the chaos, I felt a sharp, pain in my lower belly that felt like I was being stabbed from the inside.

The baby..
