Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 29

The Alpha's body was carried by Reid and the others closest to him back to the pack house. I eyed the Alpha's side one last time to see that the knife was gone from his side. Frantically, I turned around to see who took it. Marley was trying to calm Zeke and Kyle down while the rest were clearing the rumbles and wreckage. "This has never happened before. Who could have done this?"

"Mr. Diego.. I wanted to say." But I kept my mouth shut. It refused to leave my lips. The last time I had contact with Mr. Diego, almost everyone knew about my friendly relationship with him.

Was there anything I wasn't involved in? I didn't miss the malicious gaze Kyle gave me. "What?" I mouthed to him in defense. It was just the three of us who saw him leave grandly. He was different from Mr. Diego, whom I saw last week. The Dean was right to say that those shits would take human form.

I thought I had found someone I could speak with whenever everyone turned their back on me.

I have always been unlucky. This was way worse.

"Naya." said Renne, who was by my side in an instant. She looked as worried as everyone else in the gathering. We weren't exactly celebrating our Alpha's death. Even for me. My stay at the mansion will get worse or better; I don't know yet.

"It's Mr. Diego and the Luna." I wanted to say. It got stuck in my throat. It was a hard lump that I couldn't swallow. Tears slipped from the sides of my eyes. "Aloha Storm is dead. Did you see that? Does it mean I brought those things here?" Renee was a bit confused. "What do you mean? Look, Naya, you had no hand in this. Did you kill the Alpha yourself?"

"But if I had come out when everyone asked me to. When Big Darren asked me to..."

Renee's fingers wiped my tears away. "It's okay, Naya. There is a reason for all of this, and the elders will get to the root of the problem." She sighed, staring at Zeke and Kyle. "The boys need you right now. You are the closest to a sister they have." I nearly snorted. "Sister?"

Renee realized what she said. "I may be wrong, and I don't expect them to change over night, but I think they need you more than that silly bitch." She jerked her head towards Brooke, who was wailing and whooping noisily.

"Brooke is just heartbroken. The alpha sent her father on a mission. This is his chance to come back home t his daughter." I was saying this based on the knowledge I had concerning Brooke. I could be wrong. "There she is. I hope you are satisfied." The girl who screamed at me earlier in the class accused me mercilessly.

I sucked in my lower lips. "It isn't my fault you weren't bait. If you desired to save the Alpha so much, why didn't you offer yourself to those monsters?" I was in heat and in no mood for her trash. "You are a whore."

I scoffed. "Then you are a fool to think that." I was about to retort when a glare from Zeke shut me up. If he expected me to be by Marley and their side, he must be joking. "Girls, girls. I understand your emotions at the moment, but this is the wrong time and place to do thil Mrs. Lau, our dean, groaned at our bickering.

"Mrs. Lau! The Alpha is dead!" Brooke ran toward her in anguish. A part of me wondered why she was wailing so much. It was all for show. "What are we going to do now?"

"Get a grip on yourself, Brooke. Everyone is just as heartbroken as you are." Renee snapped. She wasn't the type to say things like this. This was the first time I saw her this angry. Brooke went to the source, which was beside me. She refused to glare at Renee but instead glared at me. "You. You caused all of this."

I rolled my eyes. "You never get tired of this, do you?"

Her hands found my hair instantly. "You killed our Alpha with your tricks. Everyone said you were bait. You silly girl!"

The pain shot through my head like lightning. "Ouch." I stamped my shoes on her legs, to which she yelled in pain. It was like the time we fought in the halls again.

Big hands separated us before it could get out of hand. Zeke's cologne whiffed past my nose as he stopped us firmly.

"Naya, come with me now. Kyle, control your girlfriend." He growled at a sulking Kyle, who went ahead to grab Brooke.

"This isn't the last of it. Tell them what you did to your Alpha!" She shrieked as Kyle dragged her away. Probably to a quiet spot. I hope he questions her for her stupid actions.

"Sorry, Naya." Renne whispered before I was dragged away by Zeke into the car. Reid was already standing there and watched me wearily as Zeke gave him strict orders never to let me out of his sight. Just great. I get that I haven't been on my best behavior. Reid folded his hands across his chest to show me that he wasn't in the mood to have a conversation.

Well, I wasn't either. "Why do you take orders from Zeke? And you stare at me like I am a nuisance." I turned to look at myself through the glassy window. I did look like a nuisance with my red hair sticking everywhere. My scalp hurt from where Brooke dragged me. I had no power to fight her and always ended up bruised.

My hands and legs ached, and let's not forget the bandage that kept me standing. I leaned on the door with a heavy sigh. Even Reid doesn't want to talk to me.

"You are troublesome, yet weak." He started, causing me to eye his bulgy muscles that threatened to rip out his shirt.

"You have a mate, right? She must be lucky to have you." I said dryly. It wasn't intentional, since he chose to call me weak out of the blue. Hello! I am an omega. We are expected to be weak. However, the thought of Mr. Diego and Marley made me pause. It overwhelmed the snarky remark I was going to make to him. "What can you say about the Alpha of the Blood moon pack?"

Reid frowned before a low growl escaped his lips. "Don't speak of what you don't know, Omega."

I scoffed at his choice of words. "Oh, so it is back to omega, now?"

Reid clearly wasn't listening to me. "You need to know your place. Why the hell do you want to know about a rival pack that just killed the Alpha? Or are the rumors true? Do you have a hand in his death?"

I rolled my eyes. "You need to know your enemy to kill your enemy." Don't ask; I just made that statement up. Besides, it was the only way to get Reid off my back. They were all blaming me for what I didn't do, and I hate it.

Reid sighed, tearing his eyes from the cleaning team. Marley was busy comforting some students while Zeke spoke with the elders. Kyle was probably somewhere kissing Brooke or calming her down. The thought made me angry beyond belief. "Knowing your enemy and killing your enemy are two different things."

"Well, it's clear who killed the Alpha. However, we need to get closer and know their source of strength before striking."

He gave me a look of admiration, but it quickly disappeared, and I thought it might be my imagination. "You do know politics. Tell me, little Omega, why did you refuse to be bait if you knew about this."

And we were back to square one again. It seemed like the conversation was going nowhere. "Because there was no need to. The Alpha came when he was called upon. Why do I need to go out there? Besides, why choose me as bait?" That question always puzzled me. Maybe with Reid, I'd finally get an answer.

"You are perfect for bait. The Luna suggested it."

I sucked in my breath just as Marley's fierce eyes met mine. She was plotting something, and I just knew it wasn't good. She walked towards us when she saw my eyes linger on her.

"Come, we need to talk." Marley pulled me to the side. She didn't give me time to breathe from all the limping when she began to say. "You had no right to interfere. I am glad you kept your mouth shut."

"You killed the Alpha, didn't you?" I asked directly. There was no point in beating about the bush.

Marley grinned maliciously. "I did, and guess what? You aren't going to say anything about it."
