Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 162

Emma and her girls matched up in the cafeteria. It was too early for this, I knew, but who would want to miss out on the drama that will soon unfold? I followed quietly behind.

Emma led her girls straight to Jinnah's group. I maintained a safe distance in case things went wrong.

"Hey, Jinnah!"

Jinnah was in the middle of telling her friends something when she heard a shrill voice. It interrupted her, and she turned in rage. "Hello Barbie." That didn't sit well with Emma. "I need to speak with you, so I need you to.."

Jinnah didn't let her finish, interrupting with a dismissive wave of her hand. "Speak? Oh, the drama queen wants to speak. Well, spill it, then. I have better things to do." She high-fived her friends as they hid their snorts. This was certainly interesting.

Emma's face reddened in anger, but she composed herself.

She had a goal, and that was to humiliate Jinnah on my behalf. All these for Zeke and Kyle? I rolled my eyes.

"We are getting what we wanted. Jinnah won't go unpunished for her stunts. She has been committing so many atrocities with Brooke."

"I mistakenly showed her what I was..." I sighed remembering the time in the closet. "I need to be more careful."

"She has been avoiding you quite all right. Thats what we wanted." Naya repeated with a satisfied sigh. "We should get popcorn for this." She rubbed her hands together with a mischievous smile on her face. "What are you planning?" I asked suspiciously.

She grinned widely. "Let's get something to eat while we are at it."

"Jinnah has an ego. Emma is a beauty queen... Who will win?" I asked, planting my b**t in a nearby seat.

"I am placing my bet on Jinnah."

I gasped. "How could you place your bet on our enemy? Our sworn enemy?" I emphasized. "I am placing my bet on Emma. That's it."

"Oh, Naya. We are cruel." Naya cackled from her space.

I glanced at their table just in time to see Emma banging her hands on Jinnah's table, spilling her orange juice. The girls around Jinnah gasped in shock. "What the hell, Emma?" Jinnah screeched like a bird.

Emma folded her arms across her chest. "You know what you did, Jinnah. You can't just go around spreading lies and think you can get away with it."

I raised an eyebrow. "What lies? Did Jinnah spread lies behind Emma's back? Is this something I know about?"

"You never know about anything. Forget it." Naya narrowed her eyes in both groups. "I think Emma didn't tell us the whole truth, and she is just using this opportunity to settle past scores with Jinnah. Jinnah smirked, leaning against the cafeteria table. "Lies?

Sweetie, I only speak the truth. If you can't handle it, maybe you should reconsider your life choices."

Oh, they certainly know something I do not.

I sat there, amused, as Emma took a deep breath, her frustration evident.

"Life choices? You're the one who needs a reality check.

You can't just ruin someone's reputation for fun."

Jinnah rolled her eyes dramatically, putting aside the empty cans and plates. "Reputation? Honey, your reputation was already in the gutter. I just helped it replace its way there faster."

"Stop calling me those names, you lesbian!" Emma yelled. I gasped alongside other girls. It didn't seem like Jinnah took such accusations well. We all knew Jinnah had a boyfriend, so where was this coming from? I only knew that Emma's patience was wearing thin. She stepped closer to Jinnah, even though we would still hear what she was saying, just to taunt her.

"You think you're so clever, huh?

spreading rumors and talking behind people's backs. Well, guess what? It stops now."

Jinnah chuckled mockingly. "Oh, please. Like, you can stop me. You're nothing but a tiny speck in this realm. You are nothing but a Barbie."

Emma heaved as she picked up a tray and smashed its contents on Jinnahs head. Food and other slimy stuff slipped down Jinnah's hair.

"Whoa!" The whole group of girls cried out in shock, including me.

"Wait a minute." I got up to watch Jinnah's next action. She seemed really frozen on her seat, hands in the air, and black olives dropped from her hair. The tension in the air was so sharp that it could be cut with a knife.

Each of Emma's girls faced at least one of Jinnahs girls.

"You hurt a friend of mine." Emma snarled. "Now, she can't even give me what I want the most unless I do this. Naya!"

I stood still as I heard my name come up. What? I asked her not to call my name!

"Shut up, Naya, and claim your victory. Everyone will fear you now." Naya urged with a smile. Seriously, I wonder what I would do without my wolf, I thought dryly.

I had barely gotten to Emma's side when Jinnah growled. I nearly jumped out of my skin. "You caused this. You should have stayed under the protection of the manor like a f*vcking wimp!"

Okay, she was definitely going to attack Emma. Her next step confirmed that as she advanced towards Emma and me. As we both took hasty steps back, I whispered into Emma's ears.

"Why did you call my name? Now I will be associated with this."

"Isn't that what you wanted?"

I shook my head. "No, it was obvious when I did not follow you to her seat!" The fight began before I could finish my words. Jinnah slammed a tray into one of Emma's girls, and she shrieked in agony.

"Take that b*itch!" Another yelled, throwing our expensive meat burger at an unsuspecting girl. It landed flat on her face, soiling her Barbie make-up. Who even coined such a word as Barbie? It was funny as hell. I couldn't help but chuckle from the sidelines, enjoying the verbal and physical sparring match between Emma and Jinnah.

Emma clenched her fists. "I'm done with your nonsense, Jinnah. You're not going to get away with it this time."

"Get away with what?" Jinnah's eyes caught my movement.

"You. I don't care if you are under the manor's protection.

You are dead." She straightened up, a sly grin playing on her lips.

"Not really." Emma frowned.

"And what are you going to do about it, little Barbie? Cry?" That was the last straw for Emma. With a swift motion, she lunged at Jinnah, and more fights erupted in the cafeteria. I didn't know 'princess' Emma had it in her. There must be something other than my problems to make her this mad.

Maybe after this, I will ask her. I watched as they exchanged heated words, their argument escalating into a full-blown girl fight.

Emma's friends and Jinnah's group formed a fighting circle around them. Others either cheered at the winning team or jeered at the losing team; it depended.

Soon, the cafeteria staff rushed out to check on the commotion. I crawled my way out of there. Not even the staff could stop the girls from food fighting. They all tried to intervene, but it was like trying to stop a hurricane.

Finally pulling away from the fight, I leaned against a nearby pillar, still amused but knowing that things had escalated beyond mere words. Another great idea flashed into my head. I climbed one of the cafeteria tables to address the chaos beneath me. I took a deep breath to steady my nerves. When I felt okay enough, I closed my eyes and opened my mouth wide. "Enough!"

I did not know that my voice had so much effect on the girls that they all stopped what they were doing, freezing in the air. I breathed out. "I know you all want to be the next Luna. Am I right?"

This caught the girls attention as they stopped what they were doing. Just then, Kyle and Darren walked into the cafeteria. They came with some other boys. The hall had been filled with girls because the boys were busy sucking up to Kyle. They all wanted to know who they were going to pick for beta. It was such a big deal among the boys while the girls fought for the next Luna.

It was really exhausting. If I wanted to be cruel, I would just let them know that I was his mate, both of them. They would never stand a chance against me.

"What's the commotion about?" Kyle asked the staff, who were all pinching the bridges of their noses and giving me the stink eye. I had saved them from an impending doom...

"Which we caused in the first place." Naya laughed like a maniac, slipping into the darkness.

I smiled at Kyle. "I was just about to tell them how to win your heart and Alpha Zeke's." I jumped down from the table as Darren rushed toward his girlfriend, Jinnah, who had bits of food all over her. She burst into tears immediately, engulfed in his embrace. I wish I could do that to Kyle openly.

Kyle shrugged and was a bit amused. "Okay. Tell them I am listening. Maybe it would stop this foolishness. See me after you are done here." With that, he walked out with the boys. It was as if they never came in the first place.

I nodded, happy at his approval to humiliate those foolish girls.

"Don't you dare, Naya." Emma growled under her breath.

"You promised to share it with me alone."

I scanned the room, noticing the girls were eager to hear.

Fools. Doesn't she know that it wasn't even a real secret? If I were the one, I would suspect Kyle's weird cooperation.

Jinnah peeked from under Darren's arm. Hypocrite. She wanted to know too.

"Where did I stop?" I smiled at Emma. "Ah, yes!" I snapped my fingers. "Memorize his schedule and be there waiting.

He'll love the dedication, trust me."

One of the girls, probably from Jinnahs group, hesitated.

"Isn't that a bit... creepy?"

I chuckled at her stupid question. "Oh, love knows no bounds. Now, start rumors about his other mate, Alpha Kyle. You know, spice things up a bit. Drop hints that Kyle is secretly plotting to overthrow Zeke as the alpha. Drama is the key to any great love story." Their eyes widened, and I reveled in the evil I was causing.

"Wait, seriously?" one of them asked, uncertainty written all over her face.

"Absolutely! Trust me, Zeke loves a good conspiracy theory.

It'll make your bond stronger." I flashed them a wicked smile.

As they all exchanged nervous glances, I sauntered away, leaving them to contemplate the havoc they were about to unleash. They would all meet their ends soon.

"Alright, girls. You heard the Alpha earlier. You all are on cleaning duty today." One of the cafeteria staff members ordered her people to block the doors. I was out before they could lock me in. But not before I heard Jinnah's angry voice over the grumbling of everyone in the cafeteria.

"What?" Jinnah tried to defend herself. "I didn't do anything!" She eyed Darren, who was unusually quiet. "Say something and get me out of this mess."

"I am sorry, baby. I have to go with the boys. Just do it with other girls. I will be right back to save you, okay?" Darren kissed her forehead, running out to follow Kyle and the others.

I shook my head. Things were better than yesterday.

********

"That was epic! We should do it again." Naya cheered.

"No, we should never do it again. It could have gone bad in many different ways. We were lucky."

Playing with the lion's tail was dangerous. We were lucky to get out of this one.

"No, they were lucky to get out."

"Naya." Kyle's voice behind me startled the sh*t out of me.

"What the f*ck, Kyle?" I whisper-yelled. "I didn't even hear you."

"That's because you are in your head." He sighed. "Why did you do that? They could have crushed you, or worse, you would have lost control and killed them all."

I chuckled. He was taking it too far. "Killed them? That's too far. I would have crouched low at a corner, scared to death."

Kyle shook his head. "But I must say, you are brave. How did you manage to make two rival girls fight each other?" He paused as realization passed through his eyes. "I see... it was over Zeke and I, right? They all want to be the next Luna."

"But you can only pick one." I shrugged nonchalantly, like it didn't affect me.

He touched my shoulders. "Calm down, Naya; I am not going anywhere."

I swallowed. "We will see." I pushed his hands off me, walking off. "I am going home early today." I was sure the hurt was evident in my face. Today may have seemed amusing, but I knew the girls would go extra lengths to make themselves Luna-like, like my mother. I didn't have such determination in me. I would lose in a heartbeat.

"Let me take you, or let the other guy take you home." I shook my head. "Il take the forest. I am walking today."

"Why? Why are you unhappy?" He asked again.

It was then that I noticed. No one was with him, unlike earlier, when I saw him with almost all the boys from the academy. It was his birthday today; wasn't he supposed to be having fun or something? "Why are you alone?"

"I am not alone." Kyle said. "I am with the boys."

I raised an eyebrow. "That's not true. You are alone here... with me." I glanced around, not seeing anyone else in the hallway. Although I didn't hear him walk up to me.

"I am not, Naya. Wait a minute. How am I even talking to you when I am with the boys? We are on the fourth floor."

"The fourth floor?" I yelled. "The fourth floor? I am on the last floor because I am going home."

"Naya, please don't leave. You still have to be punished."

"Mrs. Lau was a spy. How about you let me go? Zeke didn't tell the truth to everyone to protect the pack and our interests. But I cannot, and I repeat, I cannot be punished for a crime I didn't commit." Kyle looked shocked. Where is that coming from? Why are you saying all these now?"

I scoffed. "Yeah, you really take me for a fool, right?"

"Hey man! What are you thinking about?" Tim's voice rang into my head, causing me pain.

"Argh!" It was so unbearable.

"What's happening?" Naya suddenly asked. "Someone is here with me."

"Kyle! Kyle is in my head! He is not supposed to be in my head... how is this happening? He is on the fourth floor."

I closed my eyes to shut it out.

It didn't go away.
