Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 153

Naya's

PoV

The purple lady didn't respond to my call, no matter how I reached out to her. The truth was that I kept forgetting the most important part of her summons. Contrary to what I believed, it wasn't just my emotions that provoked her to come out. I needed Elder Rosalie to teach me. So much has happened in a day, yet I do not know how to summon my powers. It was getting frustrating because danger never seemed to stay far away. It made me wonder if hiding my powers wasn't the best idea. It was. I would never tell anyone about it. Why? Why? The attacks, of course!

"At some point, everyone will know. You will be the elder everyone wants to be like, and the wolf parents will tell their children about." Naya chose that moment to tell me my greatest fear and greatest happiness. She was a party pooper. "Really." I sighed. It was a real piece of work. I watched Kyle hold on to Mrs. Lau like she was a piece of twig and felt sorry for her. Obviously, Kyle didn't plan for this to happen.

None of us planned for this to happen. I didn't wake up this morning for this. I woke up mentally prepared for the next semester of bullying. I certainly didn't expect everyone to be quite alright and, at the same time, crazy!

Mrs. Lau, for one, was acting crazy. I knew she hated me right from the start, but who knew it was because of my powers? No one. She definitely hid as a spy under our nose, tormenting me in school while she waited for Darin Diego's plan to mature. She was a bitch for allowing that.

Kyle turned to me. "What do you think? Are you convinced now?"

I frowned, suddenly feeling negative energies from Tim, Sam, and Vic. They don't even know me yet. No, I was upset. Kyle didn't tell me before he brought... Updated by Narugi.com "...before he brought them in to save your lives?" Naya snapped angrily. "Read the room, dumbass."

I cleared my throat as the words of appreciation refused to come out. "- don't know what to say," she stuttered. I glanced at the boys, who were just there like statues. They must have perfected their stoic faces; if not, why would they be there standing without saying a word to tell me not to misunderstand their reasons for being here, which were to make me look like a fool? With them here, I couldn't possibly reject the fight, and Kyle stepping in for me made me just look weak. If I were targeting the role of Luna, this wouldn't be in my favor. I was a bit disappointed and happy.

I don't even know how I feel. Their being emotionless made it feel okay. But I wasn't okay and needed to tell Kyle. They were his friends, so if I spoke badly, they would understand me. Right?

"Was this planned?" I began without looking at his face.

The tile floor was looking really pretty at the moment. If I dared to look into those piercing eyes of his, I wouldn't say my point, or rather, I wouldn't pass it across. I would get lost in them. "Did you plan to make a fool out of me? You could have allowed me to fight her since you gave me so much fright already. What's all off this?" My voice shook. Jeez! I have been doing a perfect job hiding my hurt. Why did this shakiness give it away?

Everywhere was silent. Even Mrs. Lau watched with shock on her face. Yes, old lady, get used to it. We were fond of either thinking or arguing during an important event. I was glad to have that kind of effect on them. Just enough for them to make time for me even in their busy schedules.

But if Kyle's expecting a hug, I wouldn't give him one. He was the cause of my confusion right now.

"Naya, that's not what," he tried to explain, but I raised my hands to cut him off. Some balls-I have to do that! I felt a bit proud of myself for not melting right on the spot with his intense gaze on me. He was trying to humor me, or maybe he just felt guilty for dragging me into pack political matters with Mrs. Lau.

He hasn't released Mrs. Lau yet! It seemed to me like she was enjoying our little show. One more glance at Tim, Sam, and Vic, who were watching with little or no emotion on display, made me sad. Why won't they say anything?

"You are a mess, Naya. You claim Kyle is at fault; you worry a lot; you say TSV does not talk to you, and you are fine with it; now you are worried they aren't talking to you! Pick a f*vcking emotion, and let's stick with it, woman!"

I sighed. Is it making my wolf distressed because she felt everything I felt? She, too, was restless. She knew that I wanted to fight Mrs. Lau above all things. Naya also knew! would rely on her to fight Mrs. Lau, the wolf of many centuries. "You know what I want to do, right?" Naya grunted.

I couldn't even stop the big, fat tears from rolling down my eyes. They were real and, at the same time, fake. There was only one way to get Kyle to accept my proposal. My tears. I haven't tested this theory, so this was my first time. Kyle should fall for my trick. "The surprises are too much for one day. I need-" I took a deep breath for effect. The words came out of my head like I had rehearsed them the day before. I didn't. "I need to vent my anger at someone." There. That should do the job too. He frowned. "I told you to trust me."

A lump was forming in my throat now. He was going to accept! "Yeah." I said slowly, like I was not that excited to show Mrs. Lau what I had. The problem was that, while I relied on Naya, I also put my trust in the purple lady to help me win. I would be of no use to anyone if I were dead.

Goddess! The panic in Kyle's eyes...

"He is just scared. He'll be fine. You know how things like this work. It's not a big deal." Naya supported herself, watching Kyle squeeze her arms tighter. I wanted to know what was going on in his mind. I blinked innocently when he met my gaze. I didn't want to look at the floor this time. I cracked my knuckles while waiting for his positive reply to my offer. He was glaring at me in a loving way now.

I mean, who glares at someone that way and, at the same time, is so full of love? Yet, my mating status hasn't been made official. It was terrible.

Kyle responded by squeezing Mrs. Lau's hands tighter, and this time she yelled. She was holding it in like a champ.

Just how weak was Mrs. Lau? I smirked at my line of thought. It wasn't right, but I couldn't help myself. Sue me.

"Don't underestimate her. She's older than you by over twenty years."

"Let me go!" Mrs. Lau's venom-filled voice sent shivers down my spine. I turned to Kyle for his reassuring smile when I saw him already looking at me. Something in his eyes told me he knew what I was thinking.

He knows about the fake tears and all that.

Then he winked! He f**i*g winked at me!

"He knows," Naya countered.

I wanted to make a sacastic comment when his intense gaze on me felt like it increased in hotness. The heat in their eyes was. He was undressing me with his eyes. Then he paused his scrutiny.

"You don't have to do this, Naya. We have enough evidence to put her in the dungeon. It won't be like, you know." He gave me a suggestive look at who the 'you know' was.

My mother. He was talking about her. This was Kyle's way of catching the spy in our pack. It was exciting to know whose turn it would be next.

I maintained my cute gaze until Kyle dropped Mrs. Lau's hands. Seeing as we held her for so long, disrespected her, and so on, I didn't expect her to be calm. This was maturity and patience at their peak. It was as if she knew I was going to tell her this. Her mission was to end me.

If she ended me, Kyle and Zeke would suffer enough for Baron Diego to take over the pack.

Mrs. Lau had a small smile on her face as she rubbed her sore arm. "You let go. You caught me off guard. I won't allow that next time." Her claws, which had retracted back into her arms, elongated. And hurrah! It was just for me.
