Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 18

I swirled to face my fuming brother. He would look cute to his mate whenever he did that. For a moment, it crossed my mind that we would have the same mate, but the thought disappeared just as quickly as it came.

It was impossible. We were both different people, so we would be given different mates... I know so. And I wasn't wrong most of the time.

"About the girl... she is different from what I expected." It was true. I expected someone as formidable as Marley, but all I got was a frail thing that looked like she could break if I manhandled her. And the things I wanted to do to her weren't gentle. Kyle's eyes sparkled again, making me suspicious. He was overly excited whenever I talked about her. "Do you know her name?"

I nearly snorted. "How many weeks did it take you to replace out Brooke's name?"

He pouted. "I guess it kind of stuck when I realized her father was the Beta. It never left my lips. Brook Bentley, Bentley Brooke." He shrugged. He actually had the opportunity to shrug when I mentioned Brooke's name.

She was his f*****g girlfriend who didn't take no for an answer.

I also shrugged, preparing to run. Knowing Kyle won't let it go. "Well, I just recorded your voice. I should play it for her when we get to school."

"What the f**k, Zeke?" He chased me nonstop until we got to the gym. Skillfully dodging, I gave him a powerful kick below the belt.

He groaned. "That was a low blow, literally. Even for you." He ducked my second kick. "I know you have always been a good fighter. But you know what you aren't good at?"

I breathed hard, trying to avoid his fast kicks. "Jeez, Kyle. You don't have to be that competitive. This isn't a real spar." His next blow caught me off guard.

"Dad won't agree with you." He paused for a moment, breathing hard. That was my cue to attack him. He quickly turned to the right, narrowly avoiding my blow before he sent us tumbling on the equipment. This was the fifth time we destroyed gym equipment. They were no use to us, but we needed them to keep up with our appearance.

"Alright boys, playtime is over." Reid, our driver, clapped his hands. He was sort of the gamma after the beta, but he didn't look like one. All I knew was that he was one of our strongest fighters. And we were getting to his level very soon.

"Couldn't we just..." Kyle wanted to whine. He might be having a date with one of the girls he picked at McDonald's.

"Don't include me in your shenanigans, Kyle." I picked up my towel, ignoring the scratch on the side of my arm. Which was healing already.

Kyle picked up his towel in anger. "To think I would be having a threesome tonight. Maybe I would have some on Brooke's birthday night?"

I paused, eying Reid, whose emotionless face made me feel sorry for his mate. Pola. We both thought the same thing. Weird name. "What the f**k, Kyle? She is your girlfriend!"

He rolled his eyes. "I hate you. You self-righteous bitch."

I called at his throat in an instant. "Don't call me a b***h. Maybe you should direct all your anger at the little b***h that visited first."

Jeez.. why did that come out of my mouth? I dreaded Kyle's wicked grin. "Are you in? Let's make her life a living hell. Let's see how much she can take. How far we can go. I love testing the waters."

He was sadistic, as far as I know. We were not so different from each other. "You are hopeless. I am sure Reid is tired of us now." I moved past Reid, who had been staring at us ever since. He probably knew all our secrets now because we wouldn't keep our freaking mouths shut.

"What if she gives out tests?"

What test this time around? "Your test?"

He nodded as we passed through the stables. I branched out to touch my horse, Shadow. I named him after my wolf because they got along well. Unlike Kyle's horse. His wolf obviously didn't want to share masters. "Your horse is sick, Kyle... tend to it."

Kyle approached Fox. He named it Fox because he felt it was the perfect name for his horse. If I were the horse, I would hate him too. However, his wolf, Bullet, refused to have the horse renamed after him. The horse shuddered as Kyle came closer. "I miss you, buddy."

At this rate, we will never make it to the spar yard. It was like another journey around the house. "You don't miss him. If not, you would go on a walk with him and feel the breeze in your hair."

Kyle sighed. "You do know that the calf shifters might get upset if we go around in this. I don't know what Westerners see in these things. They are ridiculous to me."

"Then you should kill him." I deadpanned. If he didn't want to ride on it because of his wolf, he should kill it.

Kyle gasped. "Why would I be so wicked?"

"Don't you dare call me wicked. Between the two of us, you are the evil one. Don't paint me as wicked." I scoffed, leaving the Shadow alone. The real reason why my wolf Shadow and my horse Shadow co-existed was because...

My wolf wanted to eat my horse. There, I said it. Shadow was such a badass that I never let him out.

"When are we getting to the f*****g gym?" Reid got fed up. I thought his emotions were controlled. I guess I controlled mine more. Although his voice betrayed his expressionless face. Kyle would be the only one to poke at his emotions like nothing else.

I was about to turn away when I saw the little wolf sneaking out the back. I wanted to alert Kyle, but I had a feeling he already knew about the little b***h sneaking out.

"Well, well, well... Look who is sneaking out. I should go and..."

I placed my hands in front of him to stop him. "Let her be."

He pushed my hands away. "You are not my Alpha."

My wolf threatened to come out at his insolence. I rarely let Shadow out, so whenever he came out, he was angry. I made sure he came out when there was a threat. My brother was no threat.

Kyle must have seen my eyes flashing red and green. His wolf threatened to come out too. Flamewas more controlled than mine, and I envied that.

"Both of you should take this anger to the spar yard and not try to kill yourselves here." Reid instructed again. His voice was strained this time. He knew who I was trying to protect.

That sort of calmed Kyle's wolf as he turned towards the direction of the spar yard. My attention went back to the little wolf.. or kitten, as I called her in my mind sometimes. She darted her eyes here and there. It was her first day here, and she was already sneaking out. I have succeeded in sending my brother away. I think I should go and...

"Don't even think about it." Reid growled, ready to stop me if I dared to move an inch. "You have a duty to follow, and if you distract yourself with her, it won't end well for you."

That stopped me. He was right. It wouldn't end well for me. "Why wouldn't it end well for me?" It was a question that didn't need an answer.

Because I already knew the answer.

I watched her small back successfully slip through the gates. And she was gone. "Find out where she is going. I need to know where she is sneaking off to."

Reid wanted to speak when I raised my hands. "It's for the benefit of Wolf Cove. We can't have her working as a spy for the rival pack. We don't know her, and she is already sneaking off. We need to be careful."

Reid gave a single nod. "Spoken like a true alpha." He stretched forth his hands towards the spar yard. "I will send someone after her. Your brother is waiting for you. Be nice."

I scoffed. "He should be nice to me first."

We always fought like a cat and a dog. While I was strong and slow, Kyle was Fast and had a weak punch. Dad said we should work on that. It would be disastrous if dad came to spar with us and we were as pathetic as we are right now.

One more thing. "Reid? Don't tell anyone about what we discussed or what we saw."

It had always been like that. He would hear everything we said to each other in anger, and we would ask him not to reveal it to anyone.

"Most importantly, don't tell anyone whenever she sneaks out. Report back to me whatever you see."

"Yes, Alpha."
