Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 160

Naya's

POV

I dreaded the next day and what it would bring. Today was my second day in school, and guess what? Zeke and Kyle's birthday. It was the reason why my a*s was firmly planted on the bed. "Get up, lazy a*s," Naya mumbled, laying on her own a*s. She didn't want to get up, either.

"Today is the day. Today we get to see the alpha pick his mate."

Naya rolled her eyes. "We are their mates. When did you think we found out?" She added curiously.

I tried to remember when. "Oh, the time we slept and ended up 'watching. The night at the blood moon pack."

"What do you think they are plotting now?"

"Renee." We both said at once that we were missing our best friend.

"She has been quiet lately."

"What did you expect? I bet her house is under surveillance."

"The whole pack is buzzing with the celebration in the air."

I sighed, looking out the window. The fog from last night was starting to disperse. "I wish their parents were here. It would make things a bit easier...

"Would it?" Naya sighed with me as we both rolled over the bed, and she was on her mind.

The laziness was getting to us. "Should we cast an invisible cloak at school? We only need to learn and get out." Naya suggested, putting pressure on the purple lady.

"Impossible." I shook my head. "Even if I know how to do that, we must humor Zeke. For the first time, he defended me against a number of people. I am so happy I could burst." Naya pouted. "He asked Kyle to supervise your punishment."

"No, he asked Mrs. Mila to... yeah. He did." I mentally palmed my head. "Kyle!" I groaned in frustration. "He caused all of this. But without him, I would never have figured out that I could turn someone into a rat!"

"A rat... what a wonderful option. I nearly sh*t myself when she took a lunge at me. We were brave, Naya, so brave..." Naya's eyes were filled with terror as flashes of yesterday's fight filled our heads. I chuckled at her way of saying we were stupid. After all, there was a thin line between bravery and stupidity. We wanted to prove ourselves, and we did so against Kyle's words. I guess that would be the reason why he was asked to supervise my punishment.

Over to Elder Freya. I had no freaking idea how to reverse her powers. I'll have to see the elderly one or elder Rosalie for that. We all haven't been talking much. It was no one's fault. I was busy trying to control my mates and powers; they were doing their thing.

Zeke was definitely furious at her for disobeying his orders.

"Orders about Tyta."

"Who is Tyta?"

"Reid's mate we never saw or heard of." Naya covered for me.

I gasped. "That's messed up."

"I know."

We both sighed again when my alarm began to ring. There was no time to grumble and mumble about how unfair life was. I was slowly getting pulled into the politics of the pack without even knowing it. I was well aware of that, but none of it was my own doing. "Do you believe in fate, Naya?" The voice spoke in my head, reminding me of the times they spoke during the fight.

"Was that you?" I tapped my wolf, who was lazing around like a loafer.

"I don't want to go to school." Naya muttered under her breath. Her voice was different from the one I heard.

"No, I mean, did you ask me a question about fate?"

Naya groaned. "No! I have to brace myself for another bully fight, right?"

"We are under the protection of our mates. Why are you so afraid? This should be your line! You should be consoling me!"

Naya cleared her throat, taking a defensive position. "Sure!"

giggled at her form of play, forgetting about the voice that spoke to me earlier.

We didn't waste much time preparing for school. A simple black hoodie to signify what a gloomy day it was, and rainbow-colored joggers to celebrate Zeke and Kyle's birthday. It was a way to show that, whoever they chose to officially mate with, I wouldn't fight for it. If they rejected me, I would not ask them to accept me and fade into a life of grief.

I would die peacefully.

"Naya, do not include that in the menus today. I have had enough." Naya snapped angrily. She was even growling for no reason I could place my hands on.

"Alright." I threw the hoodie over my head, dragged the joggers up my waist, and slipped my legs into a van. I glanced at the mirror, wondering if I should tie my hair up into a little pony or a bun. I don't have long hair, so it was kind of a dilemma for me. "Pony tail." Naya said.

"Bun."

"Pigtails." We both said it at the same time, and I smiled.

Truly, there was no difference between my wolf and I. We may have different opinions, but we are one.

I bent my hair over while eyeing the mirror to get the correct cut. After doing that, I tied it in two places. I placed both hands under my eyes, expecting to see a purple rim around my blue pupils, but nothing was there. I was safe for now.

"Do you think we should get contact lenses? The color of our eyes." Naya asked.

I shook my head. "I am not ashamed of the purple lady.

Even if something bad happens, we will take it."

Naya nodded as I grabbed my bag. I was conversing with Naya more than necessary. One would think she was my mate! But that was the bond between a wolf and its host.

I came out of the manor to see everyone with a bright smile on their faces. The women in charge of linen and washed laundry walked past with their chores neatly arranged in their hands. The cleaners were scrubbing the walls until their hands bled, while the interior decorators were decorating based on the mood of everyone today.

It was our Alpha's birthday.

"Excuse me!" Someone yelled, and I narrowly dodged a heavy ladder being dragged to the other side of the room. I scanned the room for the twins, but they were nowhere to be found. I surely didn't hope Kyle would cancel going to school today.

I would be the happiest person in our realm if he did! Then I frowned, remembering I did not get anything for my mates.

"Crap!" Naya paw-palmed her muzzle. "We forgot."

"Our greatest gift is.."

"Not sex."

"You beat me to it!" I argued with Naya, who rolled her eyes.

"We need to get them something special." Macau interrupted me before I could say any more stupid things.

"My acceptance is enough." I firmly said.

"What if they reject..."

"Naya!" Kyle called from the first floor. He was wearing a dazzling grin. I didn't wave or acknowledge him. I only stared until he came down. I gave him an awkward smile.

My lips trembled at the sight of his face. His wavy hair was packed up in a ponytail, a day-old stubble scattered over his face, and I could only imagine his reaching out to whisper sweet nothings into my hair. The tingles those would give...

His perfectly bowed lips. Though thin, they were softer when kissed. I have tasted them before. His skin was so smooth.

A quick snap brought me out of my thoughts. Huh?

"You are checking me out." Kyle whispered the obvious.

I cleared my throat, averting my gaze. "You are crazy to think that for a second."

"Zeke f*vcked you." He shrugged, walking off like he did not just say something no one should hear! I chased after him immediately.

"What the f*vck, Kyle? Can't you be more discreet? People were everywhere!" I jabbed in hushed tones.

Kyle gave me a simple smile. "My love..." I felt my face heat up again. It seemed like he was happy with my reaction, so he continued. "I could smell you all over Zeke's office. Don't act so innocent now."

I pouted. "Don't get the wrong idea. I wasn't in control of myself. I barely remember what happened."

"Everyone could smell Zeke rolling off you. That was why they didn't attack you as much as I thought. They must have figured you were sleeping with him."

"You are my mates. My body reacts to you both without realizing it. I feel like I am in heat since I have been noticing some crazy details..."

Kyle was in front of me in an instant. "In heat?"

I frowned, a bit curious as to why he was so interested.

That was when I saw the creepy smile on his face. "Don't you dare."

"Good luck resisting my advances, then!" He chuckled, putting both hands in his denim jeans pocket and getting ahead of me.

Today, someone else was driving. It was one of the guards I rescued from the blood moon pack. I narrowed my eyes on him. "Why are you driving today?"

Maybe Zeke asked him to or something.

"I don't know. Alpha Zeke asked me to take both of you to school."

I turned to Kyle. "We would be asked if Mrs. Lau has returned to normal. It may affect my."

Kyle wasn't listening anymore. He was just staring at me with a smile. "You look good today and even smell good today."

Things were always different with Kyle. Unfortunately, forces might stop us from being mates today.

I expected the school corridors to buzz with excitement as rumors spread about Kyle and Zeke's upcoming birthday.

The news spread like wildfire. We had just entered the school premises when a group of girls huddled close to their lockers, exchanging heated whispers.

I turned to Kyle to check if he was listening. His face seemed neutral, but I knew he was listening to what they were saying. I guess they haven't seen him yet, since their focus was on their conversation and not who was walking in and out of the school. How foolish of them! "Did you hear girls? Our Alpha's birthday is today! which means they get to choose their mates."

"Both of them?" Another asked. I didn't know who spoke. "A mate for both of them?"

"No, silly! They would need a mate each. One for Alpha Kyle and one for Alpha Zeke." She giggled irritably. Her voice sounded like chalk against a stone.

Irking.

"Emma! Seriously? Brooke is first in line already." The third girl's voice was low and sad. I scoffed.

I pretended to look for my books in my locker. I glanced around to see that Kyle had gone to-who knows where?

He didn't bother to stick around to listen. Although it would be weird to see him at the girl's locker,

The first girl, who's probably the leader, rolled her eyes.

"What's the big deal? I was thinking it would be that Naya girl, but he's just using her."

I froze. Using me?

"Today would be the day to pick the one to spend the rest of your life with. You and I could be his true mates! Do you know how glorious that would be? You could communicate through mind-linking. Just you and your mate, not just your wolf." The girls sighed dreamily.

"So let's get him something. not your body. Do you have Brooke's book about Alpha Kyle?"

I rolled my eyes to the heavens. It is typical of Brooke to jot those types of things down.

"I do." She fished it out.

"What about Alpha Zeke?" Another asked.

"Let's ask Naya. She's the slut's sister."

I swallowed as soon as I realized that I wasn't the only one who was desperate for Zeke and Kyle's true-mate bonding. I slammed my locker door, shocking the girls.

They all glared at me, not able to do anything about how obnoxious I was. They started it first!
