Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 109

Naya Cod

"Where's Zeke?" I scanned the area carefully. Then he came out of a room I hadn't seen earlier, looking better than when we arrived. I wasn't complaining about the fact that they all left me here without offering me fresh clothes or food.

"We are leaving now."

My jaw dropped. "What about the warriors and Beta Brooke?"

"We will leave some men behind, but the rest are coming with us. This place is not safe." He replied.

I watched him prance around, arranging his things. "Who will guard the territory then?"

"It's time for the elders to do their f*****g jobs!" Zeke yowled before walking out. He wasn't even looking at me as he spoke. He knew he had just insulted me.

I followed him out. "Zeke, wait." I held his hands. "What is wrong?"

Zeke rubbed a hand through his head. "I neglected my duties to..." he pinched the bridge of his nose, and I felt the waves of frustration coming out of him. "Look, Naya. I am going back to the pack to take charge. This has to end." He was about to leave again when I stopped him. I knew he had always been like this, but what changed?

"Wait, you need to think about this." I wanted to stop him, but his hands gently removed mine from his.

"Naya, I am thinking straight. I need to return my father's honor. It may take some time, but things will be alright again. Okay?" With that, he stormed off, leaving me to my thoughts.

True to his words, the next hour had the men packing their bags, and it was then that I knew that the love I had for the Alphas was a far-fetched dream that I may never get to experience. So what? So what if I told him he was mine and I was his? Now that Kyle was aware, I knew things would change. Zeke needed to know that I was aware and that he was hurting me by pushing me away.

"Zeke!" I turned to replace him. Despite my doubts, I needed to tell him that I was aware of our destiny. I ignored the shocked looks everyone who heard me gave. They wouldn't understand just how far we have gone.

I wouldn't care if Beta Brooke punished me for not calling him just Alpha Zeke. That should be after he is aware of my knowledge. On a normal day, I would have known they were my friends on my eighteenth birthday. It only meant I would have been in the dark for two years. It would ruin me. I couldn't let that happen.

I flew out of the cottage to replace him already in a heated discussion with Beta Brooke. "Zeke!"

Beta Brooke raised an eyebrow. "Are you still doing that?

Just as stubborn is it?"

I scoffed. "Don't lecture me about what you have no single idea about."

"Naya!" Zeke scolded. He was getting colder by the minute, and I couldn't let him prey on my ignorance as he wanted.

It had to end

"I need to speak with you." I quickly injected.

"If she's just a friend, you can't have her talk to you like that." Scar growled from the other side. "You have to show him respect."

"Maybe we should teach her a lesson." Someone added from the side.

I smirked wickedly, not afraid to use my power if I wanted.

One of the things Zeke and Kyle needed to change was their eagerness to bully those of weaker blood. Especially omegas. "I may look fragile and easy to prey on, but I should have a right. You can't just tell me to shut up whenever you want. I am a wolf, just as we all are."

They began to snicker again, causing me to feel the purple lady underneath my skin. I wasn't supposed to get this worked up, but my emotions were getting the best of me, and I didn't like it. They loved bullying the weaker wolves, and it was getting to me sooner than I imagined. "Grab her, Finn." Scar ordered.

"Leave her alone." Zeke started with a sigh. He was looking at me with hooded eyes now, contemplating going back to his ways just to conform with the warrior's stance.

"Alpha, you need to understand that there are certain consequences for disrespecting the Alpha throne. She has missed a lot of lessons along the way, and we just want to remind her. It won't hurt much." Scar said. "Is that alright with you too? Beta Brooke?" Beta Brooke folded his hands around. "I do not know your relationship with the Alpha, but it's not clearly above average. You know him from schoel, right? Then I think you should know that his status has changed. You have to respect the rest of the warriors here. They fought alongside Alpha Storm before you were born. If you cannot obey, then." He finished

"What?" I took a step backward. "Take one more step toward me, and I will destroy you." I spat bitterly, feeling betrayed at Zeke, who looked like he wasn't going to defend me any time soon.

Scar stepped closer, ignoring my threat. He turned to whisper to Beta Brooke. "We respect the Alpha's authority, but if she steps back again, we will remind her of her place."

My place? My place is beside the Alphas! Were they that ashamed of me? Even if I were an omega, it shouldn't make them talk to me this way. Before I could react, Kyle moved swiftly, stepping between Scar and me. I had been wondering where he was all this time. His scent calmed me down a little. They were fresh, and I knew he had gone to take his bath. I still stinked, yet no one asked me to take a bath or eat. Great! All they did was act like I didn't exist. "You won't touch her. I know you're loyal to my father's memory, but she doesn't need this right now." He turned to me. "You haven't taken your bath? We will be leaving in minutes."

I sighed. "No one offered me anything Not after I spent almost an hour being lectured by Beta Brooke." I didn't look at him. He was scary.

Scar glared at Kyle. "Alpha Kyle, you may be the Alpha's brother, but you're not the Alpha. We're just teaching her respect, not hurting her."

Kyle seemed offended by his words, but he smiled instead.

"Teaching her respect? She's already seen the ceremony.

She knows her place. Let her be." He pulled me closer, and I stayed glued to his sides.

Although it wasn't Zeke's fault, These men served his father, and he was a bit inexperienced. They were the only ones capable of putting him through. So there was no reason to get on their wrong side. But I also knew Zeke wouldn't tolerate their bullshit. His nose flared for the third time today. He was getting angry.

Beta Brooke chose that moment to speak. His voice was measured but firm. "Alpha Kyle, Alpha Zeke's authority is absolute here. His word is final."

"What bullshit is this? I can give orders if I want. I am not just in the mood." Kyle rolled his eyes. Then he looked at Zeke, amusement etched in his features. "Zeke, you're really going to let them do this?"

Zeke remained silent for a moment, his gaze steady on Kyle, then turned to me. "Naya, keep your distance. This is not the time."

I was torn between obeying Zeke and supporting Kyle, who was trying to protect me from harm. But before I could decide, Scar and the other warriors moved closer to me

"Last warning," Scar said coldly

Kyle turned to Zeke, his voice tinged with tiredness. "Zeke, she already knows. Why pretend like she doesn't?"

He was talking about my knowledge of our destiny. I knew we were friends. Zeke's eyes widened a bit in shock before they went back to their normal size.

Suddenly, he raised his hand. "Enough!" he finally shouted, his voice echoing through the forest. "Naya, step back."

Oh. So nothing changed with his knowledge. I swallowed, stepping away from Kyle, who seemed too shocked to stop me. I took a few steps away from Scar and the others, not wanting to provoke them further. The tension was heavy, and I could feel the power struggle between Zeke and Kyle.

Kyle didn't back down. "She doesn't deserve this. We're not in the old days anymore. Zeke, you need to stand up for what's right. You do not want to be that man."

Baron Diego? Please no.

"Respect your brother's authority, Alpha Kyle. It is his decision to make" Beta Brooke said: They were right about Beta Brooke. This man would be able to hold the pack alongside Zeke, but he wasn't watching either. They would need someone like me with emotions to make them see.

Zeke turned to Kyle, his expression as hard as stone. I wondered why he was acting this way toward Kyle. Didthey have a misunderstanding or something about me? "I appreciate your concer, but this is my pack now.

"It's my pack too." Kyle clenched his fists. "Tam only concerned about her. Even if it means hurting her, Zeke, we shouldn't let them hurt her

Scar and the other warriors took another step closer to me, their intentions clear. They were not even listening to what Kyle was saying.
