Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 155

Naya's POV

Oh. I had an audience.

"Wait a minute." Zeke stopped me from speaking further.

I blinked. I was in his room, on his bed, sitting with crossed legs and telling him the whole thing that happened at school. I wasn't finished yet. "What?" His room was warm and smelled like him. This was the second time that I was here. Or the fifth? Who was counting?

"Mrs. Lau did all these." Zeke asked in awe as he relaxed back to the head board. We were sitting side by side, discussing like actual mates. I hid a small smile at how intimate this was.

Zeke suddenly snorted. "The purple lady-that's what we are calling your powers now?"

I rolled my eyes. "You definitely knew about this. You had to know."

He smiled. "Yeah, I know. You need to tell me everything.

How did the story end?"

I clicked the roof of my tongue as I tried to remember more of the incident.

"My brother must have been so tired." Zeke muttered. I ignored his words, reaching out to my memories of yesterday.

I closed my eyes to feel the purple lady zapping under my skin like little electric bolts. They gave me little shocks as I balled my fists to contain them. The desire to kill rose up in me. I allowed it to trail over my body, into my head, and into my eyes. I could tell at this point that my hair was purplish in color.

The rest of my body? I wasn't so sure about that. Maybe I was looking monstrous for all I cared. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Tim, Sam, and Vic's jaws drop open in awe, shock, and horror. "Can you feel it, Naya?" I whispered.

Naya's eyes rolled to the back of her head. An ear-splitting growl came out of her lips. It took a while for me to realize that I was the one who made such a thunderous sound. "Oh yeah. This feels really good."

I nodded in agreement. Deep down, a part of me wondered what brought the purple lady on. One thing I knew was that she was a little inconsistent. The time I needed her the most, she was... "Always there." Naya completed for me much to my embarrassment. "She has been there. You just don't know how to summon her."

There were so many things I was grateful for. The first was the fact that I was an elder. If I were just the mate of Kyle and Zeke, I would probably hide behind them.

This was an added opportunity. I wasn't as unlucky as I thought!

"But how did I do this?" I asked, a bit distracted by the amount of power coursing through me. This was better than I expected from the purple lady. not that it was actually good. I felt good for the first time in many years. Last week, I would never have done anything.

"Let's leave that question for later!" Naya screamed in shock as Mrs. Lau's wolf slammed into me with tremendous force. It threw me backwards toward the wall, and my back hit the wall. I heard a sick crack. I hoped it wasn't my backbone. I didn't feel a thing.

I was on the floor, trying to get up, when Kyle kicked Mrs. Lau to the side. It was fast, and the power behind that one kick was painful. She hit the other side of the wall, the force cracking the surface of the wall.

Her sharp cry nearly penetrated my eardrum. However, she stood up with vigor, shaking her head to ward off the dizziness. I was on my feet before that.

"That's for doing that to her. It wasn't fair." Kyle dusted the tip of his shoe like he did nothing to her. Then he winked at me.

He should help me up! I stood on my two feet, using the wall as a prop.

"The purple lady just proves how useless she is. I was thrown like a twig!" I sneered in anger.

Naya chuckled. You didn't break a bone. Last week, you would have broken your spinal cord and your ribs."

She had a point there. I cleared my throat as my leg wobbled weakly. I caught Kyle's concerned eyes as he watched me. He wasn't exactly surprised at my aura and show of power. Or rather, he didn't look as shocked as his friends were, frozen and jaws to the floor. The only time I caught his shock at my power was when I appeared fine to him without any broken bones. I could sense his silent support, and it fueled my determination.

I swallowed when Mrs. Lau sighed in boredom.

"Alright. Playtime is over." She turned to Kyle. "If you interfere, then it would confirm something. I will send the message back to my people, and you will never get rest." Kyle shrugged. "I am not hiding it. She's my mate."

Everyone stood still.

"What?" That was when I heard Vic's voice. It was gruff, and he sounded like he just woke up from sleep.

"Your mate?" Sam muttered, but I heard.

"That's freaking... freaking..." Tim was looking for the right words. "Freaking, terrible, and okay?" He finished lamely.

I scoffed. He didn't tell them I was his mate? It must be shocking! Note my sarcasm.

"I had my suspicions. What a pity; I would have to take the one you cherish the most." She ran towards me with unfathomable speed.

Kyle merely chuckled. "Boys. There is a reason why you are here, and it's to protect my mate. Protect her."

I narrowed my eyes, understanding why they were here in the first place. Oh. My fear came back when, at that point, the purple lady began to shimmer. "No, no, no, no, no."

"I don't feel her energy again! We didn't even get to fight!" Naya stamped her feet on the floor in anger as we both watched Tim, Sam, and Vic try to fight Mrs. Lau. I stood there, useless, with all my former displays of power fading into the air. No!

I could feel the weight of each of her punches on the boys, who I was sure sparred with their fathers. They weren't ordinary children, as Naya explained to me. I definitely wasn't paying attention when Naya was gathering information. It secretly made me wonder if she wasn't preparing for the role of Luna. That sly wolf!

Tim turned into his wolf, which was silver and had hints of black under his paws. He was the first to turn into his wolf, and I knew he was taught that way. He took a dangerous swipe at Mrs. Lau, who easily dodged him. She slipped below to meet Sam's heavy punch. She stopped it from getting to its destination, using her other hand and leg to kick a vicious-looking Vic to the side.

He looked like an ape at the moment since the hair on his body grew out like fur.

Then she saw an opening to come to me.

Even when the purple lady was fading back into her source, I refused to back down. The corners of my lips curled up as taunting words dangled from the top of my tongue. "Come on, old wolf. Show me what you've got."

Kyle's hands were in his pockets, and his posture made it seem like he wasn't watching. But his eyes were alert and as keen as an eagle's. He was a wolf, so...

"Clap your hands." A voice whispered in my head. It sounded like the elderly one.

I did as it said immediately. The moment I clapped my hands, the purple lady responded with thunder. That scared Mrs. Lau a bit as she growled, realizing that I may be stronger than she thought I was.

Rage clouded her features as she continued her advancement.

"Clap your hands twice." The voice whispered again, and I tried to do so, but before my hands could reach each other, Mrs. Lau grabbed one of them and twisted it to the back.

"Naya!" Kyle screamed in horror.

How did she even get to me so fast?

"You were too slow." The voice scolded dryly.

Mrs. Lau grinned wickedly. "That little trick won't work on me. I know you can stop time, you little piece of s**t. With you gone, I can be who I want. Extra bonus? Your powers!" Her claws grew longer, and she prepared to dig them into my chest. I could see her doing it already.

While Kyle was on his way to get me, I thrashed around her hands.

"Let me go!"

"I was in your shoes once, but I won't let you go."

"Bite her!" Naya urged me, and I lowered my razor teeth to her hands, biting a chunk off. She dropped my arm, screaming in pain as blood sprayed out of her left hand.

I clapped my hands, and a burst of energy sent Mrs. Lau backward. I stood panting heavily, feeling victorious. The purple lady was beginning to take its toll on me. I was a vessel for her strength, but right now it was failing me, even as they were fading away. Mrs. Lau's eyes gleamed with malicious intent as she approached, her every step echoing a threat. The purple lady hadn't done much harm to her. She was still moving strong.

Tim was still on the floor, groaning in pain at Mrs. Lau's onslaught. Vic was crouched in the corner while Sam was beside Kyle, who stood tense. I could feel Naya's energy surging within me, a fierce purple glow enveloping my form.

"Do you think you could challenge me, little girl?" Mrs. Lau sneered.

"I may be little, but I've got something you don't-strength and determination." The energy under my skin made me confident. In a way,

"You're not the only one with tricks," Mrs. Lau spat as she turned into her wolf. We could no longer communicate as I shifted into my wolf.

"You didn't have to." Kyle sighed when he saw that his words wouldn't get to me.

I had my own plan. The will to fight now was stronger than I have ever encountered. Naya's strength, coupled with that of the purple lady, was making me a bit invisible.

"Meet my inner strength," I declared, pouncing on Mrs. Lau's heavy wolf. It was like hitting steel with full force. My bones should be broken by now, but somehow they aren't. It met her strength. I could feel how surprised she was at my sudden hit as she tried to compose herself. Her disgusting frustration went through my nose. "That's my girl." Kyle's silky voice reached my ears.

I gave him a wolvish grin, remembering his declaration. He just told the people here that I was his mate! I knew he only told his friends, but it was a step forward!

"Is that all you've got?" Naya taunted.

"You are just a pup!" Mrs. Lau's wolf growled at Naya, who scoffed in the way of wolves.

I nodded. "Yeah, I am a pup." I stopped talking when I figured she wouldn't hear me. She wasn't worth my voice.

While she was distracted by goddess knows what, I changed back to my skin. It was painful as always, but this was a bit bearable due to the fact that the purple lady was with me.

I took a deep breath as Mrs. Lau turned to strike me. Then I clapped. The voice didn't have to tell me. I just knew that this was the right time to do so.

A puff of air surprised me and the rest of us. When it cleared away, I waved it aside to replace a brown rat on its back, trying to get moving. It couldn't because it was stuck.

The f*vK?

Before it could run away, Tim trapped its tail between his feet. We all knew it was Mrs. Lau because she was still wearing the same clothes she was putting on. Except it was smaller, and...

"Hi, Mrs. Lau." Vic teased, and an angry squeak flowed from the rat. It definitely showed its displeasure at having turned into something it could not fathom.

Sam chuckled, getting up from the floor to dust himself. He stretched out his hands to help Tim up. I eyed Tim's mangled body, making a mental note to do something about it. Kyle quickly approached me with relief and admiration in his eyes. "Naya, you are something else," he remarked, pulling me into a soft hug.

"Thanks to her," I said, nodding towards the squeaking rat.

"And my wolf, and you know." I touched my purple hair. He would never know the amount of doubt I had in my head.

I thought it wouldn't work.

"You were amazing. You are." He rubbed my back in the most reassuring manner.

I buried my face under his neck, where his scent was the strongest. It stirred up my desire for him, but I pushed it down. Not here, not now. "You called me your mate in their presence. I do not know how to act." I peeked from his chest at the boys, who were chatting among themselves about what they had just seen with their eyes. "What are you going to tell them?"

"I am planning something with them. Don't worry, they won't say anything hateful to you."

I closed my eyes, willing the embarrassment to go down. I turned my heated cheeks away from Kyle's warm body. He chuckled at my abrupt shyness, and the sound reverberated through my body, touching me in places where it shouldn't.

It was a delicious feeling. The desire for him skyrocketed and I felt the insides of my laps pooling with my juices. I pressed myself against him, rubbing my mound against his jeans and whimpering when I couldn't get more of that delicious friction.

Kyle looked down at me with amusement. "Woah. What's going on?" He glanced at his friends, and I followed his eyes, but they were too busy watching Mrs. Lau struggle under their gaze and prodding. It seemed like they were more fascinated with her than with us. I took that as an opportunity.

I hugged Kyle tighter, who granted as soon as I met his hard on. He turned on me too. Great. "I don't know. You tell me. I need you right now." I panted, swiping my tongue over my lips. They were suddenly dry.

Kyle placed his hands firmly on my hips to stop my movements. His face was scrunched in desire. "Baby, if you keep doing this, I may take you here, and I won't stop until you scream my name. Yeah, I won't walk for days." He promised under his breath.

My body shook with those words. I could taste his promises before they even happened. What's happening to me? I knew I was spent from all the energy and fighting, but I was being a w***e without control now.
