His Alpha Stepbrother Hates Her… Or Does He?

Synopsis

“I’m about to c$m in your smart little mouth and you’re going to swallow all of it. Do you understand?” He didn’t let me answer, holding my head in place as his c$m filled my mouth. He waited until I had swallowed every drop before he released me and I fell to the bed, sobbing.

Zipping himself up, he stalked to the door, then paused and turned to smirk at me. “Don’t even bother to tell anyone about this. Or you and your mother will suffer. And get ready, because this is just the beginning.”

His Alpha Stepbrother Hates Her… Or Does He?

Let me just say, diving into the first fifteen chapters of this web novel felt like stepping onto the fastest, most unpredictable emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on in a while. The setup is classic angst-fuel: Jasmine, our FMC, comes from nothing, an ‘omega’ struggling alongside her single mom. Life throws them a lifeline when her mom marries the Alpha, catapulting Jasmine into a world of privilege she never imagined. Sounds like a dream, right? Wrong. Enter Hardin Scott, the Alpha’s son, her new stepbrother, and the walking, talking definition of gorgeous, brooding trouble.

From the get-go, Hardin is positioned as the ultimate antagonist in Jasmine’s life. We meet him mid-bully, establishing his cruel streak and dominance within their high school ecosystem. He’s got the looks – that radiant black hair, those piercing blue eyes – the kind that *should* make you swoon, and maybe Jasmine once did. But his present behavior? Utterly repulsive. He radiates that powerful Alpha aura, the kind that commands respect naturally, yet he chooses intimidation and cruelty, especially towards those he deems “paupers” or beneath him, like Jasmine’s friend Nadia.

When Jasmine, in a moment of fiery protectiveness, stands up to him? Oh, the sparks *fly*, but not the romantic kind. Not yet, anyway. It’s pure, unadulterated rage from Hardin. He cannot fathom someone, especially someone like Jasmine, challenging him. His verbal attacks are vicious, targeting her perceived poverty, her worth, even her parents. It’s brutal, and designed to break her. Hardin is convinced Jasmine and her mother are gold diggers, infiltrating his family, tarnishing his late mother’s memory, and stealing his father’s fortune. This conviction fuels his initial hatred and his vow to make Jasmine’s life a living hell.

And let me tell you, he *commits* to that promise. Hardin isn’t just a schoolyard bully; he brings the torment home. The story doesn’t shy away from the darkness here. Hardin crosses lines, big time. There are moments of intense psychological manipulation, degradation, and physical intimidation that escalate into outright assault. The narrative forces us to confront his cruelty head-on, pushing boundaries that will definitely test some readers. He uses his power, his physical strength, and Jasmine’s fear against her in ways that are deeply unsettling. The scenes where he corners her, asserts his dominance, and violates her consent are raw, uncomfortable, and absolutely central to the dark nature of their dynamic in these early chapters. He leaves dead rats as “welcome” gifts, forces her into humiliating situations in front of his friends, and commits acts of s$$$$l violence that are portrayed with stark intensity.

But here’s where it gets *complicated* and oh-so-addictive for dark romance lovers. Hardin isn’t just a flat villain. The story cleverly weaves in glimpses of his own pain – the deep wound left by his mother’s death, his fractured relationship with his father, Russo, who seems eager to move on while Hardin is still drowning in grief. You see moments where his hatred wars with an undeniable, unwelcome lust for Jasmine. He catches himself watching her, fantasizing about her, even as he despises what he thinks she represents. His internal monologue reveals a conflict, a crack in the monstrous facade. He feels flashes of guilt (though he quickly suppresses them), and his possessiveness starts to feel… different. Less about punishing an intruder, and more about *her*.

Then comes the twist with the rumour mill. When Dahlia (one of Hardin’s disposable flings) starts spreading vicious lies that *Jasmine* is the one trying to seduce *Hardin*, his reaction is… unexpected. Instead of reveling in Jasmine’s further humiliation, he becomes enraged – not just at Dahlia for daring to act without his “permission,” but seemingly at the lie itself. He steps in, defends Jasmine (in his own terrifying, controlling way), forces Dahlia to apologize publicly, and even orchestrates a video confession to clear Jasmine’s name. Talk about whiplash! This protective, almost possessive act throws everything into chaos, both for Jasmine and for us readers. Why would he do that? Is it just about control, proving *he’s* the only one allowed to torment her? Or is something else brewing beneath the surface? The ambiguity is maddeningly delicious.

Now, let’s talk about Jasmine. She starts with a spark, defending her friend with surprising boldness. But Hardin’s relentless campaign wears her down. We see her fear, her trauma, her confusion. She’s thrust into a world she doesn’t understand, living under the same roof as her tormentor, navigating the complex social hierarchy of the pack and school. Her vulnerability is palpable, especially highlighted by the fact that she apparently hasn’t shifted into her wolf form yet, making her feel even more like an outsider. You feel her isolation, her desperation, and her moments of quiet defiance, even when she’s terrified.

Her reactions to Hardin are a tangled mess of fear, hatred, and, confusingly, moments of physical response she despises herself for. When he touches her, even non-consensually, her body sometimes betrays her mind, adding another layer of violation and self-loathing. Her journey in these initial chapters is harrowing. Yet, even after everything, when Hardin shows that sliver of unexpected vulnerability after a fight with his father, asking her to just *sit* with him in silence, she does. That moment, quiet and tense, hints at the potential for something incredibly complex to develop. Does she still harbor feelings? Is it pity? Stockholm Syndrome? Or the faint echo of the boy she once crushed on? The story keeps you guessing.

The dynamic between Hardin and Jasmine is the undeniable core. It’s dark, it’s toxic, it’s fraught with power imbalances and non-consensual acts, but the *tension* is electric. Every interaction crackles. You’re constantly on edge, wondering when Hardin will strike next, or if, just maybe, a different side of him will emerge. The “enemies-to-lovers” trope is being set up here, but through a decidedly dark and thorny path. The werewolf element adds another layer – the inherent Alpha/omega (though her status isn’t heavily explored yet beyond the blurb) power dynamic, the potential for pack politics, and the primal nature simmering beneath the surface.

The writing pulls you in. It’s straightforward, immersive, and doesn’t flinch away from the darker aspects. Each chapter often ends in a way that leaves you needing to know what happens next – the hallmark of an addictive web novel. You feel Jasmine’s fear, Hardin’s rage, the oppressive atmosphere of the school, and the confusing heat that sometimes flares between them.

Now, a word of caution: This story, based on these chapters, is definitely venturing into *dark romance* territory. Hardin’s actions are *not* romantic in these early stages. They are cruel, manipulative, and involve serious violations of consent. If non-con/dub-con themes, intense bullying, and morally grey (okay, often morally *black*) male leads are triggers or not your cup of tea, you might want to steer clear. However, if you’re drawn to stories that explore the darkest corners of attraction, power, and potential redemption, if you love the intense push-and-pull of a truly volatile relationship, and if you’re captivated by alphas who are possessive, broken, and undeniably dangerous… then buckle up.

These first fifteen chapters lay an intense, gripping foundation. We have a tormented hero wrestling with demons (and inflicting them on others), a heroine trying to survive in his hostile world, secrets bubbling beneath the surface, and a connection that is as terrifying as it is magnetic. The question isn’t *if* things will combust, but *when* and *how*. Hardin’s contradictory actions – the assault followed by defense, the cruelty followed by vulnerability – leave you desperate to understand his endgame, and Jasmine’s resilience makes you root for her, even as you fear for her.

Honestly, after reading these chapters, I’m hooked. The intensity is off the charts, the emotional stakes are sky-high, and the central relationship is a fascinating, albeit deeply troubling, knot I need to see untangled. Will Jasmine break free? Will Hardin consume her, or could he possibly find some shred of redemption? What happens when their forced proximity inevitably leads to more?

If you’re looking for a story that will make your heart pound, challenge your boundaries, and keep you feverishly clicking for the next chapter, “Bullied By My Alpha Stepbrother” delivers. Just be prepared for the darkness – it’s intense, but utterly captivating. Don’t walk, *run* to read this one!
