I stepped away when every instinct screamed to close the distance and ignore caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew what we’d agreed to. I knew we were meant to be taking this slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after everything it had taken to get here, I found I no longer had it in me to deny this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not with the way Sera looked at me, the way she molded into my arms, her body fever-warm and alive, the space between us pulsing with palpable tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she said yes, when she leaned forward, something inside my chest broke open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned in slowly at first, giving her every chance to pull away, to reconsider, to remind me that restraint was still required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mouth brushed against hers in a kiss so gentle it was barely there, more question than claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips were warm, softer than memory, and when she didn’t withdraw—when she angled her head instead, a subtle invitation—I felt my control begin to fray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kissed her again, letting myself linger, mapping the shape of her mouth as if I were learning it for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath hitched, a sound so small and devastating it sent a tremor through me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hand lifted, hovering near her cheek, and when she leaned into the touch on her own, I allowed myself that too, my thumb brushing gently along her jaw, grounding myself in the reality of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar stirred at the back of my mind, a low, restless presence that had been patient for far too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Mark her,’ he urged, a roaring, pulsing heat that echoed in my blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Slow,’ I cautioned, even as my mouth returned to hers, deepening the kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sera’s lips parted beneath mine, tentative at first, then braver, and the sensation sent a sharp, electric awareness through me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My restraint slipped another inch. I adjusted my grip, one hand sliding to her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers gripped the front of my jacket and tugged me closer. For some reason, that did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dam broke. My kisses weren’t wild or reckless, but they brimmed with contained intensity that demanded release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each kiss built on the last, slow and unhurried but layered with meaning—the aching knowledge of everything I’d nearly lost, and the impossible miracle to have a chance to regain it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar surged again, hot and eager, his desire bleeding into mine until it was impossible to tell where his instinct ended, and my caution began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘More,’ he pushed, a low growl reverberating through my bones. ‘She wants you.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body answered before my mind could catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kissed her again and again, letting my mouth trace the curve of her lips, the corner of her smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reveled in her soft exhale as I pulled back just long enough to make her lean closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her knees softened, and I felt it through her body, the subtle shift of weight as she leaned into me without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slipped my other arm around her, anchoring her to my chest, more to steady myself than anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breaths came faster now, shallow and uneven, and when I finally broke the kiss to draw in air, I didn’t move far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My forehead rested against hers, my breath brushing her lips as I tried—failed—to steady myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sera,” I murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lashes lifted slowly, pupils blown wide, her gaze unfocused in a way that sent another surge of heat straight through me. She looked dazed. Kiss-swollen. Beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kissed her cheek, her jaw, the corner of her mouth—softer now, slower, memorizing the feel of her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each press of my lips unraveled me further. My hands trembled with the sheer effort of holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar was no longer subtle. ‘Take her, dammit!’ he goaded. ‘She is yours!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night with Sera ten years ago was still somewhat of a haze, but now I understood a little more why I had lost control so completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I could barely hold Ashar’s instincts back after one glass of wine, I could only imagine how easily he had taken over when I was fully inebriated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Not like this,’ I told him fiercely. ‘Only if she asks. Only if she wants.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, my body betrayed me. Heat coiled low and insistent, every nerve ending alight as I kissed her until her breaths turned into soft, helpless little sounds she clearly wasn’t aware she was making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head tipped back slightly, exposing the line of her throat, and I nearly lost my grip on reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped myself with a shuddering breath, pulling back just enough to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were glazed now, unfocused but trusting, her lips parted as she struggled to catch her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hands tightened reflexively at her waist. Not to pull her closer, but to keep myself from doing something I couldn’t take back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My voice came out rough. Unsteady. Barely recognizable as my own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sera,” I said, slower this time. “Can I...can I have more?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she didn’t answer at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands were still on me—one fisted in my jacket, the other resting at my wrist, and I was sure she could feel the way my pulse jumped erratically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sera,” I repeated softly. I didn’t mean to push, but she looked faraway, like she needed anchoring back to now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze flickered—not away, but inward, like she was weighing something heavy and fragile all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw the want written plainly across her face, colliding with the reticence she’d fought so hard to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar went utterly still inside me, coiled and waiting, as if even he understood that this moment was not his to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sera drew a slow breath, the kind she took when she was grounding herself. When she was choosing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kieran.” The way she said my name—soft, breathless, so achingly close to surrender—sent a jolt straight through my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tipped her head forward, just a fraction, her lips parting as if the word ’yes’ was already forming. I could see it there, hovering. Feel it in the way her body leaned toward mine despite herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—” she started—and then my fucking phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sera startled, her head jerking back slightly as reality snapped into place. I stiffened, every muscle screaming in protest as the moment shattered between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned and lifted a hand to my chest, pressing gently—not to push me away, but grounding me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kieran,” she said softly. “Your phone is ringing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger flared, hot and immediate—not at her. Never at her. At the timing, the interruption, the universe’s impeccable cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drew in a slow breath, forcing the fire back down where it belonged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah,” I muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should answer it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have rather thrown the damned thing across the room. Let it ring. Let the world burn for all I cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar snarled his agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to,” I ground out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to live in this moment forever—Sera’s lips swollen with my kisses, her body soft and warm against mine, her scent everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It could be serious,” she whispered. “Pack business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The role of an Alpha was heavy, but I didn’t usually hate it. I loathed it in this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctantly, I loosened my grip and stepped back, my hands lingering a moment longer than necessary before letting go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space between us felt obscene after the closeness we’d shared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled the phone from my pocket, jaw tight, and glanced at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gavin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I answered, turning away from Sera. “There better be a fucking fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice came through clipped and urgent, stripped of all pleasantries. “There might as well be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I straightened instinctively, every Alpha instinct snapping into place. “Talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember Aaron Pike?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the fuck?” I snarled. “You did not call me to reminisce about dead—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gavin.\" My voice dropped to a murderous octave. “I promise you this isn’t the time for fucking with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wish I was fucking with you,” my Beta said, swearing under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that’s not possible,” I hissed. “His fucking throat was torn out right in front of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a classic rogue attack a long time ago. Aaron had been one of my sentinels, and he’d been a casualty of that battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood had stained Ashar’s coat. I’d watched the rogues drag his lifeless body away as spoils of war. His widow and son had been on a salary from me for the last six years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what the fuck was I hearing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, well,” Gavin said grimly. “He walked into Nightfang territory tonight. Alive. Breathing. Claims his memory is fucked up and the last thing he remembers is the ambush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My grip tightened around the phone until my knuckles ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When?” I demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An hour ago,” Gavin said. “We have him contained, but—Kieran, I don’t know what the fuck to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced back at Sera. She was watching me closely now, the softness of the moment replaced with alert concern. I hated that I’d brought this into her night. Into our night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m on my way,” I sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The line went dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lowered the phone slowly, my mind already racing, gears turning as years of training kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beneath it all—beneath the strategy and suspicion and rising dread—there was a quieter ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another moment stolen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Sera again and forced myself to soften.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry,” I said, the words inadequate and honest all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer, resting a hand against my arm. “I know,” she said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded, swallowing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the memory of her almost-choice burned steadily in my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I intended to come back to it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1644,"2026-06-03T02:27:49.405Z",1,"novelbin.me","c8a6b80dfef2c6b7f99f95ff1a5cd5fd5e295185eb341cfbe5b2113c28d03fe7","my-sister-stole-my-mate-and-i-let-her-chapter-79","my-sister-stole-my-mate-and-i-let-her-chapter-78",488,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-sister-stole-my-mate-and-i-let-her-cover.jpg"]
