Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 108

I took Kyles hands, glad that we got to have this little chat alone. I soon realized the reason he had been acting nonchalantly towards me was because of how scared he was.

I paused, causing him to look at me in a puzzled way.

"Since we are all about the naked truth, why don't you tell me what triggered your nightmare?"

The reluctance was on his face. "We were in the enemy's territory. No man would have a good nights sleep. Zeke didn't sleep either, and you did? You were out of your body. Am I correct?"

I sighed. "I guess you have figured out my powers, right?"

Kyle nodded. "It's simple knowledge, actually. Contrary to what you may think, I pay attention in class. We just had to spend the rest of the night preparing your gown. You didn't see us, did you?"

I shook my head. "Do you have any idea what stopped the nightmares at some point, or didn't you feel anything?" I was asking about that night when I held him and he almost raped me Could he be conscious at that time or something? Kyle squinted his eyes as if to remember. "No... I don't remember anything. All I knew was that I opened my eyes with you below me." He leaned closer. "What did you do?"

"Nothing." I shrugged, walking past him.

"You tried to comfort me, right? What if I hurt you or something?" Kyle stopped me. He didn't look happy.

"And watch you disturb my sleep all night? No. I had to do something. Don't worry, you did not pour soda on me this time around." I said it play fully, but from the look on his face, he didn't take the joke well. "Naya, that was a mistake."

"What? Are we confessing our love for each other now?" giggled nervously, a bit bashful about his immediate apologies and shows of affection. Sometimes they made me nervous. "It's the mating bond. You know that, right?"

He seemed to snap out of his haze. "Yeah, it's the mating bond."

We didn't say anything and entered the cottage together.

Zeke was nowhere to be found, but Beta Brooke was shirtless and seated. He was just like the warriors -bulky and filled with rippling muscles. By the side of his shoulders was a nasty-looking wound. Fresh scars ran down both sides of his stomach.

Jeez, what an attack! What happened to him? I raised my eyes to his face to see him already staring. His eyes were brown in color, just like Brooke's. However, I doubt Brooke resembled her father. She must have taken after her mother. His nose was crooked, and his lips were pressed into fine lines. The aura that emitted from him was the type that emitted from Zeke and Kyle, except he was tamed.

He was the beta, after all.

"How are you here?" He suddenly asked, causing me to jump at the harshness of his voice. Then he raised his hands to stop me from panicking more. The twins were not here, so I was surrounded by warriors who were waiting for orders to eat me alive just for being scrawny and not the mate of the Alpha, so they thought.

I swallowed, taking the seat closest to me, lest I fall. "I am with Alpha Zeke and Kyle."

"Why?" He growled, and his muscles rippled to scare me.

Urgh!

Oh, he wanted details? I should give him the details. There were a lot of things I was sure he didn't know about the pack. They all happened during his absence. "Marley Storm is my mother."

If he was shocked, he hid it very well. What's with all these high-ranking wolves? They always knew how to control their emotions better than me. I shook my left foot nervously. Someone should please save me from this conversation before I get drowned in the scent he's giving away. "Your mother, huh? She's a b***h. You know that?" Beta Brooke started.

"Your daughter is a b***h too." I wanted to say something but held my tongue. There was no point in defending my bitchy mother and giving reference to his daughter. He could squash me in mere seconds. "I do not know what you are talking about." "She sent some guards to bring me home. It turns out there was a clash. I do not know the game she is playing, but she won't win me over. There's a reason for all of this." Beta Brooke rubbed his face with both hands.

I closed my mouth still, not wanting to provoke him. Even if my mother or whomever was the reason for the attacks, there was nothing I would do about it. The wolf's hatred for her was already passed down to me. Now I can't even go out without being called a slut. "The same class with my daughter?" He continued as if he did not just insult my mother.

I wasn't too happy to answer him. Did he think his daughter was a saint? "Yes!

He was looking at me now, clearly not intimidated by my glares. "Is she doing well?"

Bully wise? Yes, academically wise? Yes... Brooklyn was perfect at everything. One thing she didn't get was the Alpha. No, she is getting neither. They were both mine. The thought of that made me smile. "Brooke is okay." I settled for that. Praise for her in the presence of her father would be too much for me.

Beta Brooke didn't seem impressed. "Just okay?"

I clasped my sweaty hands together, feeling suffocated.

"You do know that your daughter is dating Alpha Kyle, right? She has been looking for you all over. Something tells me she knows where to replace you. This is why you shouldn't be asking me about her." I finished, proud of myself that I didn't faint.

Bela Brooke still watched me. "That's not the reason why."

Huh? "What?" I was dumbfounded as to why he would think that

He too clasped his hands and placed them on the table.

"Brooke isn't a good girl. I have known that for a while now."

1 blinked uncontrollably. "I didn't say she's a bad person."

"You didn't tell me she's a good person either. If she was kind to you, you would go on and on about her without stopping. Let me guess, she bullied you."

Tbit my lower lips. "I am not a child."

Beta Brooke chuckled. "You are hiding that fact. The truth is, there's no need to. Brooke has used my status to bully a lot of students. She may be looking for me as her only parent, but I know she does not want me to come home. If I get a hint that you have been bullied by her, I will punish her." He promised.

Although his voice was not welcoming, what came out of his mouth was okay. So this was why the Alpha sent him on that mission. He wasn't corrupt like the rest of them.

When I think of it, he didn't insult me or call me a slut.

Maybe he knows something about my mother that I didn't know. Should I trust him and tell him what she did? Kyle was first on my list. Then he was second.

"Why don't you like the Luna of the pack?" I asked.

"You don't call her mother?" He pointed it out instead. He was smart,

It was the same old story again. Everyone knew about it; they were just turning a blind eye to the fact that I was the victim. "Because she abandoned me when I was young and left her mate at home to die. You already know this story, so why are you asking me?" Beta Brooke stretched, yawning loudly. "I am just wondering why she chose to bring you into the manor." "Alpha Storm's orders." I deadpanned.

He scoffed. "I doubt that."

"What?"

"You say 'what' all the time."

"What?" I asked again stupidly.

"Look.

. It was likely your mother who influenced his decision. She probably needs you close to her. That's why." Beta Brooke stood up. The things he said, it was as if I wasn't keeping up. They were too fast.

"Where is Zeke?" I looked around.

"Zeke?" Beta Brooke glared at me like I had ten heads.

"- mean, Alpha Zeke."

Beta Brooke's piercing gaze remained fixed on me for a moment before he finally spoke. "We do not refer to our Alphas as 'Zeke' or Kyle here. It's Alpha Zeke, Kyle, or simply Alpha." His tone was stern, emphasizing the Great! 1 tend to forget sometimes. Last time I checked, Zeke was just my classmate, the son of Alpha. A bully.

I bit my lower lip, feeling a flush of embarrassment wash over me. "H apologize. I didn't mean to be disrespectful." This was the beta; I should have expected this at some point. Jeez, a lot would change now. I may not even see the twins as much as I do now.
