Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 142

Naya Cod POV

Kyle seemed really happy to be among his friends. They weren't together all the time, so this was different. The looks on their faces when Brooke showed up told me how they each felt about her. I could never tell their names from here, but they were among the bunch who bullied me the last time I checked.

They pretty much followed Kyle and Zeke's lead. Whatever he asked them to do, they did. If he asked them to punish me, they did so without batting an eyelid.

Such loyal mutts.

"Hey, that's disrespectful. They didn't know better then." Naya muttered under her breath. She had her beady eyes on Kyle and his boys, though.

"Yeah, right." I sighed.

""You know they contributed to my plight. I would never forgive them."

Naya simply rolled her eyes. "Who said we were going to forgive them? I know their names because I did my research. Vic, Sam, and Tom."

I narrowed my eyes on Tom, Sam, and Vic. Such simple names, but they looked far from simple. They were the typical friends you would expect Zeke and Kyle to have. Thick, burly, and loud

"Listen carefully; I won't repeat myself because they are not worth it." Naya licked her lips hungrily. I had a feeling her mouth watered because of Kyle. I'd admit he looked good in their midst. Those arms...

"Tim is the short one on his right. His father's Tom is the idiot who badmouthed you the other day. He gets his energy from Scar, the head warrior."

"Tim, Tom." I scoffed in mockery. "Let me guess, his sister's name is Tami."

Naya was quiet for a while. "Yes."

"No shit." I rolled my eyes. "Unto the next.

Naya shook her head. "No. You need to know more about that brat. The last time Kyle pasted your pictures about the hallway, who did you think helped him?"

"Tim." I growled in anger. I didn't even register that I was stabbing my salad. "What about the other two?"

"They are his silent guards. Sam is the techie nerd. He doesn't say more than is needed, but he is just as cold as the rest of them. However, Zeke loves to keep him closer than the rest. Vic is loud, messy, and reckless. He is also Scar's son."

They were all checking the right boxes for revenge. The fact that Sam was closer to Zeke made me want to eat him raw.

Gosh! I am so angry.

"We will get our revenge in due time. I am just wondering why we never noticed this trio around Zeke and Kyle." Naya sides with me this time. "Because they did his dirty work. Laying traps for me and setting up girls for Kyle to hook up with. Five of them shouldn't come together." I said. "They should."

I paused a bit as Naya's words sank in. "Why? We need to separate them. They influence my boys in a bad way."

"They were just following the lead of the Alpha. They didn't do any real damage. Whenever it got to a point, they would back out. Haven't you noticed that Kyle and Zeke were keeping them close for a reason? They fight well! He might choose his Beta out of the three of them."

That didn't sound right in my ears. "I am not sure that."

"I don't think we should focus on them right now.

Incoming!" Naya screamed like the dramatic wolf she was.

"Bully alert, bully alert!" She crouched low in defense. "And she is going closer, closer to what is ours!"

I was wondering what she was talking about until I saw her. Brooke Bentley is all over Kyle like a slut. She hugged him from behind, pouting and whispering into his ears.

There was grumbling from the boys.

"I can't hear sh*t. They are so far away."

"You could have chosen to sit close, but you chose to sit here like a creep." Naya's annoyance was irking me.

"Why do I feel like you blame me for Brooke's advancement? Why don't you take over and get her off our man?" I snapped back.

"Fine. Let's just watch and see if she goes past this." Naya growled. She was in a defensive position, and it amused me greatly. What could she do with my mind?

"Oh, I can do things, Naya. Things.

"she finished wickedly.

I shuddered at the thought of what Naya could do. The first time I saw her looking deranged, I knew that she was capable of doing anything she wanted. She was the wiser and crazier version of me. Suddenly, a clatter from Kyles table caught my attention.

Naya grinned. "Oh, sh*t, Kyle is pissed."

I could see the veins under his arms, and his brows furrowed like he had just eaten a sour fruit. He seemed repulsed by something Brooke said.

"sh*t, we haven't been paying attention to what they are doing."

"You haven't, but I have. Brooke did something really bad." Naya trailed off, yet she refused to tell me what she did.

She didn't have to tell me. I saw her do it again.

This time Kyle pulled her hands, and they went out of the cafeteria together.

"Don't tell me they are going to do something together." I got up immediately, running after them. Lunch was forgotten in the meantime.

I trailed after them, but they were nowhere to be found. The hall was empty because everyone apparently went to eat.

The only ones outside the school and in the fields were losers like me. Once upon a time, late my lunch in the school field or indoor sports halls. Now, I was allowed to eat at the cafeteria.

All I had to do was sniff the air, and I caught a whiff of Kyle's cologne. The same type he put on this morning.

Itled me towards the closet, not far from the first classroom. I tiptoed close and pressed my ear against the door, trying to catch every word. My legs were quiet from experience. It was quiet there, and I thought they heard something. But Kyle's voice stopped my thoughts.

"I am not doing anything, so stop reading meaning into my words. I have nothing more to say to you."

His voice was firm, but I sensed an underlying struggle. He wasn't trying to throw her off in the harshest way possible.

It was a surprise that he hadn't heard me yet. Or he has pretended not to pay attention.

"Don't do this to me, Kyle." Her voice quivered, and the vulnerability in her words tugged at my emotions. I felt like an intruder in their relationship, when it was in fact my right to be Kyle's mate. I wondered what was happening inside that closet, and part of me questioned if I should continue listening.

"We have been together, it is too long for you to just throw it all away."

As Brooke spoke, I could sense the desperation in her voice.

She was getting really desperate now. It was getting pathetic, too.

Naya clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Let him get this over with. He promised you!"

I nodded. "But it doesn't seem right to snap at her at all.

They have been together for so long." My words shocked me. That was the effect Brooke had on everyone. She would make you look like the evil one when she was, in fact, the wicked, self-conscientious... All I wanted was for Kyle to end it with Brooke. That was all. "Shut the f**k up." Naya snapped at me. It was either her or Brooke.

"Brooke, it's over. You need to accept that."

His words were resolute, but there was an undeniable pain in his voice. I couldn't help but question the morality of continuing to listen, yet the drama unfolding was too captivating to resist. Kyle would never be happy to see me here. But he should have perceived my wolf, at least. That's how true mates replace each other...

It was obvious Brooke wasn't going to take Kyle's refusal for an answer. His words flew over her head.

'I can't stop. I can't...

"Remember our first date? That small, makeshift restaurant behind the cafeteria with the candlelit table? We laughed so much that night."

"They had a first date?" Naya gasped dramatically, but I knew that was how she felt, and I felt the same way too.

How dare she tell him that?

She was trying really hard.

It broke my heart to hear Kyle's alluring chuckle. "That was because the Cupid Club begged for a space to recreate a fancy restaurant. They did a very bad job."

"But we were the first couple everyone voted for. School was fun with you by my side. I didn't have to think about other things."

"That was a long time ago, Brooke. Things change."

Yes! Tell her, Kyle. Tell her.

"What's changed, Kyle? We were perfect together. We had our whole future planned out. You can't just throw that away because of her."

I held my breath.
