Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 127

I noticed. Everything he said, I noticed about Renée. I just chose not to heed it. What was I going to do? There was no way I would send Renee out of my life.

"We can't let her into our pack again, and the pack borders will be strengthened from now on. There will be a lot of reforms. I need you to be prepared for that." Kyle replied. He pointed at the food. "Eat."

There was no point in dragging out the situation. Kyle was in no mood to listen to me. I watch him take a bite out of my meat. He was hungry too. I shifted my tray away from his reach. "Get your own food." I didn't know how hungry! was until I took a mighty bite. "Jeez, Naya, slow down." There was a playful twinkle in his eyes.

"What about Brooke?" I asked again. I knew this wasn't the first time I had asked about her in my mind. I just never summoned the courage to ask him face-to-face.

Kyle paused, throwing some grapes into his mouth. He slowly munched. "Brooke is just a friend. With her father back, she may try to start something with me for real. She isn't my beta. She can't be my mate."

I nodded, a bit satisfied with his reply. Naya wasn't, of course. "Relax, Naya. There is no need to get worked up about it. Let's just see how Kyle reacts to her hugs on Monday."

"I am so glad she does not live in this place. We have both of them to ourselves."

I chewed my meat slowly. "I am glad too. Very glad." The last time she came to the manor, I never had a moment of rest. His statement reassured me. "Should I trust your words, Kyle?"

That had him freezing. "Wow, Naya... You always replace a way to ruin the mood. I thought you were okay with what I said."

"I was, but then I remembered the other times."

Kyle's frown went deeper. "What other times? Are you still having a difficult time trusting me?"

I scoffed. "I should ask you the same question, Kyle. Do you trust Kyle? Do you think I have no hand in your father's death? Do you think my coming here was just a coincidence or was it planned?"

"I think your coming here was the mating bond that brought us together. This is no coincidence, Naya. There are so many mysteries to be solved."

It was time to tell him. I took the last bite, washing it down with the juice by the side. Then I dropped the tray. "I have something to tell you, but promise me you will take this in good faith and not let anyone else know about it until we are sure." "Okay."

"I am telling you this because I feel I can trust you. I want to hear you say that you trust me." I stared at him expectantly.

"Don't tell me if you aren't sure. Tell me the truth."

Kyle locked his gaze on me. I could feel the intensity behind his words. "You can trust me, Naya. Although we are still in the process of healing, I would never allow anything to happen to you. I trust you."

I let out the breath I had been holding. "What do you think, Naya?" I turned to my wolf. "Is he genuine?"

"Oh, he looks genuine to me." Naya nodded.

"Marley killed the Alpha."

Kyle didn't look surprised. "How do you know?"

"It's simple. I found her knife deep into the Alpha's side." Seeing his facial expression, I hurried to clear up the misconception. "I may have seen something wrong... I am sorry." I began to panic because he wasn't saying anything. His face was expressionless and unforgiving.

He shook his head. "There is no need to apologize. It must have taken you a lot of effort to tell me this. I am sorry; it looked like I didn't take you seriously."

I was scared he was going to think of me as a liar or someone who wanted attention. His reaction right now was puzzling. "Er, it is fine. I really don't mind."

"No, I would never allow you to think that way." He paused to think. "Now I see that she is bent on cremating him."

"Why don't you look surprised?" I asked.

"Because I have had my suspicions about her. You see, this is a dangerous game. Naya and Marley have connections to the pack more than I do. I am just lucky to be the son of the Alpha. I need to tread with caution, and so do you. I must commend your bravery to expose your mother, but leave it to me to break the news and replace out more, alright?"

I shook my head in disapproval. "No. I want to be involved."

"You might get hurt."

"I have been hurt countless times. I can protect myself now.

Besides, it won't be nice to replace out something and keep the information all to myself."

"Let's do it this way. Why don't you discreetly replace out all about it, and whatever you get, I will relate it to Zeke? How about that?"

That was better. Zeke was still in a phase and would need his brother for now. "I am fine with that. Can I sleep now?"

"Sure, you can. Even if you hear anything, don't get up.

Sleep tight."

I beamed at his kind words. This was the love I had never seen before. "Will you be here with me?"

"Until you fall asleep."

I chuckled, lying on my side. Naya went to sleep immediately, as we were both exhausted. It has been a long day.

Kyle's POV

F**vcking hell! That b**itch had the audacity to touch my father. Zeke needed to hear about this. But what was the evidence? It must have been eating Naya up in her system.

I reached out to brush the strands of hair that covered her face. Her hair was turning purple all the time.

It did seem strange that Naya had a mother like Marley.

Marley was no elder, yet Naya had the blood of the elderly one flowing in her veins. We all had our issues, and Naya's birth origin was about to be one of them.

Marley must have gotten rid of the knife she used to pierce the alpha's side. No wonder Naya was quiet. How was I supposed to break the news to Zeke, who respected the woman? Besides, Marley was a seductive and very persuasive woman.

If only Zeke would publicly pronounce Naya as our mate, everything would be solved.

Would it be solved, or would it be the beginning of our troubles? Never in history has there been three mates or an omega Luna. Marley was the first of her kind, which convinced some people in the pack that she was a slut and had played dirty to get to the position of the Alpha's mate.

I was sure Brooke was going to do that. Unfortunately, my mate just asked about her. I needed to be careful around Brooke or risk a war between her and an elder. Naya's anger these days is no joke.

The way she destroyed those monsters in a second was surprising. Whereas it took Zeke and I minutes to finish those things. Every Alpha who had a hand in that event at the Blood Moon Pack will pay terribly.

As for Marley, I would pretend like I knew nothing and secretly investigate who she was talking to that night. Now that I know that she's the spy, I will make sure her life is a living hell. How could she kill the man who got married to her and took her in as a mate?

She enjoyed the privileges that came with being his mate, yet sought out to kill him at the end. For what reason? She was only greedy. I wonder what punishment Zeke will give her for sitting on his seat at the meeting. How dare she?

Now she caused Zeke to kill Reid out of rage. She has to pay for what she has done.

I stood up after arranging the blanket on Naya's body well.

"I am sorry, Kyle."

A part of me desperately hopes it wasn't Marley that was the spy, but it turned out she was the one, and Naya just confirmed it. It was messed up.

Immediately after the door shut, I went to look for Zeke. He needed to get himself together. I found him giving orders to the staff.

"On no account should anyone access the manor without a permit. You must either work for the manor or outside the manor. Bring out your permit."

Some of them began to fumble with their ID cards. Zeke turned to replace me staring. He looked much better than before. His eyebrows were raised to ask me about Naya.

I gave him a single nod. She was doing okay. For now.
