MARKED BY MY STEPBROTHER

Chapter Thirteen

Sophie's POV

A sharp, stabbing pain went through my lower belly, making me cry out and fall over on top of Damon. His knot was still locked deep inside me, pulsing with the aftereffect of our orgasm, but all that pleasure vanished in an instant.

“Sophie?!” Damon’s voice was filled with panic. His hands flew to my stomach, covering it protectively even as rocks continued to crash down around us.

The pain came back again, sharper this time. I gasped, clutching his shoulders, my nails digging into his skin. “The baby.. something’s wrong..”

Seraphina laughed over the whole chaos that was coming down on us. “The vessel is too weak! The child demands more power. More seed. More claiming!”

Victor, still glowing with the runes I’d burned into him, staggered to his feet. “No! That child is mine to control!”

The mountain groaned like a living beast. Massive boulders smashed into the floor, crushing some of the wolves. Dust filled the air. Damon’s knot finally began to deflate, and he pulled out of me gently, his thick c*m gushing out in heavy streams down my thighs. He lifted me into his arms despite his own injuries and ran toward the far side of the chamber, maneuvering falling debris.

“Stay with me,” he said against my ear, his voice hard and commanding, as if I had no other choice but to do as he had said. “I’m not losing either of you.”

He found a narrow crevice behind the cracked throne and shoved me inside, shielding my body with his own. His hard, naked body pressed against mine in the tight space. Even now, with danger everywhere, I felt his c**k perk up against my ass, already getting hard again from the heat coming off my skin.

“I can feel it,” I whimpered, pressing a hand to my belly. “The baby.. it’s hungry for power. For you.”

Damon cursed. His silver eyes was still alive with lust and desperation. “Then take me. Right now.”

There was no time for gentleness. He bent me forward in the narrow space, my hands braced against the rock wall, and slammed back inside me from behind. I could not stop myself from crying out as he filled me completely, his thick c**k stretching my swollen, c*m-soaked p***y.

He f****d me hard and fast, one arm wrapped around my waist to protect my belly while the other hand was on my hip.

Every thrust pushed me up on my toes.

“Take it,” he snarled, teeth grazing my neck. “Take every drop. Feed our pup.”

The pain in my belly eased slightly with every deep stroke, as if the baby really was drawing strength from our mating. The golden power inside me see to be growing stronger with Damon's thrusts.

“Yes, Damon, harder!” I moaned shamelessly, pushing back against him.

My breasts bounced heavily. Slick and c*m ran down my legs in messy rivers.

His knot swelled rapidly. He forced it inside me with a powerful snap of his hips, locking us together once more. The intense stretch made me scream as another orgasm tore through me.

Damon roared, flooding me with even more c*m, so much that it spurted out around his knot and pooled on the ground beneath us.

We panted together in the tight space, still joined, his chest pressed to my back.

“I’ve got you,” he whispered, kissing my shoulder. “Both of you.”

But the brief safety was over just as it as started.

The crevice began to collapse. Damon pulled out fast, picked me up, and ran just as the rocks came crashing down behind us. We burst back into the main chamber, which was now half-destroyed.

Seraphina and Victor were locked in brutal combat, golden energy against dark Alpha power. Their fight was tearing the mountain apart.

Damon set me down and shifted into his black wolf form, standing protectively in front of me. Blood still stained his fur, but he looked stronger than before. Our repeated matings seemed to be feeding him too.

A group of Shadow Pack wolves saw us and attacked.

Damon met them, tearing through them with savage ease. I fought beside him, my golden claws slashing, my naked body glowing with power. Every time a wolf got too close, the heat made me faster, stronger.

But then Victor broke away from Seraphina and came straight for us.

“You ungrateful b***h,” he snarled at me. “I gave you everything. A home, q powerful mate. And you repay me by awakening her?”

He sent a wave of dark energy my way but Damon took most of it, stumbling backward with a pained cry, but some of it caught me across the side. I cried out as burning pain spread through my ribs.

Victor grabbed me by the throat before I could recover, lifting me off the ground. His eyes were looked like that of a maniac. “If I can’t have your power, no one will.”

His other hand pressed hard against my belly.

The pain was excruciating. I felt the baby inside of me panic.

Damon tackled Victor off me. The two Alphas, father and son, crashed into each other in a vicious fight. All fangs and all claws.

Seraphina suddenly appeared behind me, placing her cold hands on my shoulders. “It’s time, daughter. Give me the child. I will make you a goddess.”

I spun and shoved her with everything I had. Golden light exploded between us and Seraphina shrieked like a ghoul as her form began to unravel.

But the mountain could take no more.

A crack split the ceiling wide open. Moonlight poured in from above as the entire chamber started collapsing.

Huge rock fell between us.

“Sophie!” Damon shouted, shifting back to human and running toward me.

A massive boulder crashed down right in front of him, cutting us off.

Through the dust and falling rocks, I saw Victor crawling toward me, badly wounded but still determined.

Seraphina’s flickering form was reforming on my other side.

I was trapped.

The pain in my belly returned, sharper than ever. I dropped to my knees, clutching my stomach as warm fluid suddenly ran down my legs, and it was not c*m this time.

“No...” I whispered in horror.

My water had broken.

The baby was coming.
