Chapter 25 - Kaelen's Twisted Demand

"No, please, Kaelen!" I sobbed, backing away until I hit the bedroom wall. My hands trembled uncontrollably as I tried to process what was happening.

My stepbrother had just smashed my secret phone after hearing Liam call me "mine." Now he stood before me, eyes dark with rage, making demands that sent terror shooting through my veins.

"I said kneel," Kaelen repeated, his voice dropping to that dangerous octave that made my blood run cold.

I couldn't believe this was happening. Just moments ago, I'd been frantically begging him not to hurt Liam. Now he stood naked from the waist down, his erection jutting out obscenely as he advanced toward me.

"This isn't you," I whispered, pressing myself harder against the wall. "This isn't the brother who protected me—"

"I'm not your fucking brother!" he roared, slamming his fist into the wall beside my head. I flinched violently, a whimper escaping my lips. "I never was. And you know it."
