Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 169

Naya's

POV

"Argh!" I nearly tore my hair out. It wasn't working! "What am I going to do? Their lunch break will soon be over. I haven't changed any sh*t!" I closed my eyes for the umpteenth time, trying to feel the purple lady with no progress. "I think we need to eat." Naya whispered, and as if on cue, my stomach protested.

"We aren't getting anywhere." I shook my head, plunging my buttocks into the nearest seat. "Elder Freya didn't leave any cues for me."

Was there an unusual way of summoning my powers? Why did the purple lady choose that elder? Urgh!

"What should we do? We aren't getting anywhere with this." Naya repeated my words as she sat down tiredly. There must be a reason why Elder Freya was chosen.

"Elder Freya controls the weather, right?" I asked.

Naya nodded.

Iran towards the window. It was a bit cloudy today.

Everyone looked up at the sky in worry.

"Oh no. Zeke and Kyle's birthday party may not be held.

What are we going to do?" I bit my lower lips in thought.

"We." Naya's tongue was out as she tried to think of a solution. "Wait a minute... I think I have gotten the answer!

It's been here all along!" She got up, excited. "What powers have we exhibited until now?"

I ransacked my brain, hoping Naya was on to something. Updated by Narugi.com

"Healing, mind control, summoning, watching, and possession." That was it. Those were useless powers for now. Perhaps I needed something new. There must be another power lurking inside of me. Right?

"Good. I see now." Naya grunted. "What did Elder Archer tell you before leaving?"

I tilted my head as if it would help me remember. "Try not to kill her with your mind, he said. But what does that have to do with anything?" I asked, a bit frustrated that Naya wasn't getting anywhere.

"We have our solution. All we have to do is think. We thought of her as a chicken, but for some reason, she turned into a rat. That is her original nature, and you simplified her wolf into such a measly creature." Naya spat.

I was glad there were no shape shifters in our realm. They would have taken Naya's words to a not-so-gentle level.

"What's your." I gasped, understanding her words. "Oh! I get it now."

Naya nodded slowly. "Yeah."

But my happiness was quickly dashed. "But now that we know what power to use, how do we use it?"

"Think, and it will happen. That's all. You told me so yourself."

I rolled my eyes. "I did, but that time it was different."

"It's nothing different. You need to save Zeke and Kyle, so use those powers."

"No. We will use them together." I smiled at my wolf, to which she rolled her eyes. Oh, she was just like me.

"Alright."

We became one in an instant.

"How do you feel?" I asked Naya, who bobbed both our heads in reply. We were one, so there was nothing she could do about our coordinated movements.

"I feel good, Naya responded, closing our eyes.

"I want her to return to her original form," I said.

"Before we fought." Naya quickly added.

I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, with her hands bound or something."

Suddenly, I was overcome with some higher power, and the urge to clap my hands was stronger than before. We raised both our hands and clapped in unity. A bolt of lightning, followed by a resounding clap of thunder, showed its presence. I recoiled in fear as Mrs. Lau was covered in a dense fog.

When it cleared, she was seated there behind her legs, staring blankly at me. Her hands were tied with...

"Nothing." Naya mouthed as fear enveloped us. We were alone with her.

She could rip us apart.

Marley's POV

Although I could not see him, I could feel his piercing gaze bore into mine, and it sent shivers down my spine.

"Whats the matter? Our daughter is causing trouble?" Their voice held an edge to it. I knew they were smirking, and their eyes were filled with a twisted sense of amusement.

I clenched my fists, trying to maintain my composure. They were taunting me and enjoying my reaction. However, this was no time for such nonsense. "Naya is becoming a hindrance. She's getting too close to Zeke, and it's jeopardizing my plans. I am beginning to lose my place in this pack."

"But you asked me to help you. I did. I made the people trust you. He trusts you enough to let you handle some problems."

Some problems? I flung my phone to the wall and watched it scatter all over. "They aren't important matters! You attacked the borders; he didn't even let me know what happened! Each time, he sends me to the children or the family of the bereaved. Whenever you attack the children, he sends me there. Why do you keep doing that?"

"For this conversation to happen," They deadpanned.

"I am tired. We need to take her out." My shoulders slumped at the thought of taking Naya out of the picture.

"You have failed."

I glared at where I thought his face should be. "It wasn't my fault. I didn't expect her powers to grow like this. The elders adore her. Everyone will soon cast all their care on her. If she converses with the moon goddess directly and everyone sees that, I'll have no chance."

"She may have the ability to do that already. Your spy has been caught, which means you failed. I should remove you from the picture instead of her."

I scoffed. It was absolutely ridiculous! I built this pack from scratch! I made myself Luna, not this barbarian. "Don't forget, I brought up this plan. Without me, you would never have penetrated the Wolf Cove."

They raised an eyebrow. "Your plans? Are you forgetting who you're dealing with, Marley? I am the Beast King. Your allegiance lies with me."

I gritted my teeth. Allegiance indeed. I haven't gotten what I wanted yet. He had yet to give it to me. "I haven't forgotten, Baron." I was so angry that his name slipped out of my mouth. "But Naya is a threat. She's interfering with our strategies."

I eyed his form in the shadows. "Please come out. No one is here."

Fearlessly, he revealed himself with a step forward from behind my closet with his arms crossed. "What do you propose, then?"

A wicked smile played on my lips. "We need to remove her from the equation temporarily. A little kidnapping might teach her a lesson."

"Kidnapping? That could be amusing." Baron's eyes gleamed with interest. "But make sure it doesn't backfire.

We can't afford any mistakes."

I nodded, already forming a plan in my mind. "Leave it to me, Baron. I'll handle everything. When have I made mistakes?"

His angry hiss reminded me of Mrs. Lau. sh*t. That woman was talkative. I shouldn't have chosen her for this operation. I should have chosen someone smart and young enough to penetrate the borders. Someone who is really close to Naya.

Renee.

I glanced at the window, seeing the moon in its glory. The blood moon was in three days' time. This was the first day, yet an ominous glow was over the moon. The moon wasn't its usual creamy color. It was bright red, a sign of the first day. Baron, who recently appointed himself 'Beast King, stood by my side to watch the moon with me. "If Zeke chooses Naya as his mate tonight, the consequences will be irreversible."

I raised an eyebrow. "So you mean something else? Of course I know." A sense of urgency gripped me. "We need to act fast. We can't let Zeke choose Naya. Our plans depend on it."

It was far from over.

Zeke's POV

"Are you trying to get into her head?" I asked Kyle with a bit of my jealousy slipping into my tone. For so long, I have tried to hold it in. I knew Kyle felt the same. I thought, watching him talk with his eyes shut.

It felt weird to share a mate, but for some reason, Naya being okay with it made me comfortable with the idea too.

"She seems preoccupied with something or a group of people. And... she has blocked me again." Kyle opened his eyes. "I bet she doesn't know that she's doing that. There's a lot of things she doesn't know about herself." "Let's go back to the manor. Why do I feel so terrible for asking her that on my birthday?" I sighed, continuing the walk to the manor. In twenty steps, we should be at the manor.

Suddenly, everywhere flashed white, and a loud clap of thunder had me stopping to wonder why the heck was happening.

"That was no ordinary thunder and lightning. Someone is playing tricks."

I frowned. "Elder freya?"

Kyle didn't even wait for that before he sprinted towards the manor. What if Naya was unknowingly giving Elder Freya her powers?

I followed after.
