MARKED BY MY STEPBROTHER

Chapter Seven

Sophie's POV

The silver chains burned my wrists and ankles like ice and. My consciousness returned with this pain, and my body ached in ways that had nothing to do with the fight. I was still in the moon pool cave, but now I was upright against a large stone altar in the center of the space, bound or whatever. The light from the moon poured down from the opening above, bathing everything in an eerie silver glow.

“Damon...” I whispered, couldn't even recognize the hoarseness in my own voice.

He was chained to a pillar a few feet away from me, they had kept him upright to and left him completely naked. His wounds were still leaking out fresh blood as his wounds were refusing to heal fast because of the silver.

“Sophie,” he rasped when his eyes met mine. “Are you okay? The pup..”

“I think so,” I whispered back. My hand tried to reach for my stomach, but the chains stopped me. The spark I’d felt earlier was still there, small, but it wasn't some hoax.

Victor announced himself by clapping. Several of his strongest wolves stood guard around us, while the bodies of the Shadow Pack intruders had already been dragged away.

“Beautiful,” Victor said, as he walked around the altar. “The two of you together, it’s even more potent than I imagined. The mating scent is thick in the air. You’ve already filled her twice, haven’t you, son?”

Damon strained against his chains, trying to break free. “If you touch her, I’ll kill you. And I'll make it slow.”

Victor laughed. “Still so possessive. Good. That fire will make stronger pups.” He stopped in front of me and lifted my chin with one finger. “Your mother fought me too, at first. But in the end, she gave me what I needed.”

I spat in his face.

He wiped it away calmly, then backhanded me hard enough that my lower lip split open. “Feisty. Just like her.

Damon roared and thrashed so violently that the pillar cracked.

Victor ignored him and turned to his men. “Prepare the ritual circle. The Blood Moon rises in three nights. By then, she must be fully claimed and bonded. The more seed she carries, the stronger the transfer of power will be.”

These fuckers were going to use me like a breeding tool.

Victor’s men left the cave, leaving just the three of us. He approached Damon and injected him with something from a syringe. Seconds later, Damon's body went rigid.

“This will keep you conscious and, functional,” Victor said with a cruel smile playing on his lips. “You are going to watch, you are going to participate, and you are going tohelp me bind her power to our bloodline.”

Then he turned to me.

“No!” Damon shouted.

Victor ignored him and unlocked my chains. He shoved me forward onto the altar and I fell on my hands and knees. The stone was cold against my palms. Looking at myself, my clothes were torn and barely hanging on after everything that had happened.

“Damon is going to finish what he started,” Victor announced. “Right here. Right now. Under the moonlight. And I’m going to make sure he does it properly.”

He injected Damon with a second syringe. At once, Damon’s c**k went hard, thick and throbbing, veins standing out. His eyes glazed over with uncontrollable lust even as he fought it.

“Sophie, fight this,” Damon said through gritted teeth. “Don’t let him...”

The moment Victor released Damon’s chains, the latter tried to attack his father, but the drugs made his movements sluggish. Victor easily sidestepped and kicked him toward me.

“Take her,” Victor commanded. “Knot her. Breed her deep. Or I’ll have the pack do it instead while you watch.”

Damon’s eyes met mine. He was conflicted and it broke my heart.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered as he climbed onto the altar behind me.

His large hands gripped my hips almost gently at first. Then the drug took over. He ripped what remained of my jeans and panties down and thrust into me like a madman, burying himself inside me till there was nothing left of his d**k to be exposed.

I cried out.

He f****d me hard and deep, exactly as Victor wanted. Every powerful thrust pushed me forward on the altar. My breasts bounced with the force of it. The wet, filthy sounds of him slamming into my already c*m-filled p***y filled the cave.

“Harder,” Victor ordered from the side, watching with sheer satisfaction. “Make her feel it.”

Damon obeyed, his hips snapping faster. His knot was already swelling, stretching me wider with every thrust. I hated how good it felt. My body betrayed me completely, clenching around him as another orgasm built like a dam.

“Damon..” I moaned, trying to push back against him despite everything.

He leaned over me, one hand wrapping around my throat possessively while the other rubbed my c**t. “Come for me, Sophie,” he whispered against my ear. “Let me feel you milk my cock.”

That broke me. My orgasm crashed through me so hard my vision went white. Damon thrust deep, his knot locking us together as he pumped me full of another massive load of hot c*m. Wave after wave. It was so much that it overflowed and dripped down my thighs onto the altar.

Victor watched every second with greedy eyes.

“Good,” he murmured. “Very good. The bond is strengthening.”

Damon stayed locked inside me, panting, his arms wrapped around my body even as the drugs forced him to keep moving gently against me.

Victor stepped closer and placed a hand on my lower belly. “By the Blood Moon, you’ll be swollen with my grandchild. And your power will belong to me.” Then it was my turn to be injected.

I didn't even know what he gave to me but I could fee the heat in my veins.

“Your heat is coming early,” Victor said with satisfaction. “Enjoy your stepbrother while you still can. In three nights, the real claiming ceremony begins, with the entire pack watching.”

He turned and left the cave, locking the heavy door behind him.

Damon’s knot finally began to go down. He pulled out of me, and turned me so that I was facing him on the altar. His silver eyes were tortured.

“I’m so sorry,” he whispered, kissing me softly despite what we had just done. “I couldn’t fight it.”

I touched his face, tears slipping down my cheeks. “It’s not your fault. We’ll get out of this. Together.”

He rested his forehead against mine, his hand went to my stomach. “If you really are pregnant, I swear I’ll protect both of you. Even if I have to burn this entire pack to the ground.”

We held each other under the blue light from the moon. We were covered in sweat, c*m, and blood.

Something strange pulled at my chest, from the inside. The power inside of me came alive again and it was stronger this time. strange pulling sensation in my chest. My vision became sharp and I could hear voices above us. They were obviously coming from the surface above the cave.

There were dozens of them.

“Damon,” I whispered, urgency in my voice. “Something’s happening to me. I can hear them, the pack. They’re arguing. Victor is planning to betray you during the ceremony. He’s going to kill you after I give birth.”

Damon’s eyes went wide in surprise.

Before he could respond, the cave began to shake. Rocks fell from the ceiling as something exploded from above us

No doubt the Shadow Pack had returned, in full force.

And they had come for me.
