Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 86

ere supposed to be with us. What were you doing outside?"

I tried to pull my hands from his vice-like grip. "Seriously? I was with Renee. We have a lot to catch up with, and I have so many questions."

Kyle gently pried his brother's hands from mine. "It's fine now." It was as if he wanted to pull me into his chest and kiss me.

"You are cute when you are scared."

I slipped from their bodies, which were about to squish me in between. "I am sorry." I have been apologizing for things that were not my fault these days.

Zeke clicked the roof of his tongue in annoyance. "What are we going to do about you? If you keep doing this, I may not be able to protect you." Hraised my hands playfully. "I have both of you."

"Keep pouting like that and see if I'll protect you." There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. It made me happy for a moment. It wasn't all the time you saw Zeke playful. It made me wonder about the irony of the situation. The fact that he was smiling while there's danger outside the doors

"Change into a beautiful gown. We will go in grand style." Zeke cleared his throat.

Kyle eyed himself with appreciation. "They brought us out here thinking we were kids. We will show them just how mature we are. Nice work out there, Zeke."

"I bet their ears are glued to the door, listening to what we are saying."

I shrugged. "I don't care. What I care about is the fact that I don't have a beautiful gown to wear."

"What?" Both Kyle and Zeke exclaimed simultaneously. It had some of the inspectors banging at our door.

"Alright, just put some clean clothes on, because you are not coming with us in pajamas." Kyle grimaced as soon as he said it. It was like an abomination.

I rolled my eyes where they would not see me and pluck them out. "I'll just pick something." I contemplated asking Renee for a gown, but I decided against it immediately.

"Hurry."

Huh? Yea. I quickly put on jeans that showed my curves well and a simple blouse. It would enable me to fight if I wanted to. Even if I wanted to change into my gown, it would shrink well enough for me to slip out of it, unlike a gown. A beautiful gown would tear into pieces. What were Zeke and Kyle thinking when they asked me to change into a beautiful gown?

"Once this is over, we must go shopping. I don't like those things in your bag."

"Well, suck it up. They have been with me long before you knew me." I stuck out my tongue at them, which merely amused Zeke. I shook my head before slipping into my sandals. It was simple-too simple compared to what Zeke and Kyle were putting on. Jeez, I resembled a maid instead of their companion.

"I am going out. You cannot keep intimidating me with your clothes."

Kyle snickered knowingly. "Poor Brawn is ashamed she didn't bring something nice to wear." Then his smile disappeared as he turned to Zeke. "Promise me we will beautify her after this."

I won't let them come too close to me. If they did, I would give them trouble of my own. Zeke chuckled as he saw my irritated expression.

"Let's go. Naya, stay beside me.

They were increasingly possessive, and it scared me. What if I was truly their mate? Besides, their birthdays were coming up in a few days. We should be in the pack by then.

Renee gasped as soon as she saw the boys. "Really?"

Zeke gave her a simple pat. "I am an Alpha, dear." He turned to her parents with a frown. "I apologize for hiding this from you, but we were invited for a meeting. We couldn't reveal it until the inspectors were here. But then," Zeke turned his fury to the inspectors. "They had to be rude."

Renee's father was still shocked, but he quickly recovered.

"It explains why I wasn't able to look at you for long. You are still a kid. How did you...?"

Yes, I puffed up in pride. Zeke was an amazing kid. "He actually fought more than fifteen wolves. He chose the hard way. Kyle here was gifted naturally." I didn't know the implications of my words until all eyes were on me.

Mr. Renee seemed confused. "The hard way?"

I cleared my throat. "Er."

Mrs. Renee raised her eyes in realization. "Oh, he is unmated." She gave a light giggle. "I thought you were their mate."

Their? Did she actually think I was mates to both of them?

Why does everyone keep saying that? "I am not."

Kyle snorted.

. "She could as well pass for our mate since

she knows everything about us." He gave Mrs. Renée one of his charming smiles. "Gifts come to me naturally. I am Kyle." He took her plump hands, bringing them close to his lips, and planted a simple kiss on them. Why didn't he do this the first time he was here? He was on his phone!

"Urgh!" I groaned.

Kyle flashed me a sour look. "Jealous that much."

Mr. Renee took Zeke's hand in a handshake. "We may have treated you badly, but you are still an alpha. There are people who look up to you. If you need help, we will be here."

Zeke nodded, releasing his hands and using a white handkerchief to wipe them. Then he threw it to me beforewalking out. He threw the f*****g handkerchief at me!

"What the f**k?" I gasped at his audacity. Taking a deep breath, I smiled at Renee.

"We will meet again, yeah?"

"Sure. At school." Then she pulled me into a side hug, her chin resting on my shoulders.

"You coming here was the

best birthday gift ever." Her eyes were a little sad.

I knew what she was going through because it had happened to me a lot of times. There were countless times I stopped remembering my birthday because there was no one there to celebrate it with me. Which was why I was at the mating age, but I had no idea if it was before or after my age. I was certain I wasn't up to eighteen yet.

But Renee was different from me in many ways. She had whatever money could buy. I had nothing, and to eat at the manor was as if I were committing a crime. I usually sneak into the kitchen after the lights go out.

It was how I survived at the manor, but Zeke and Kyle would never know. Nobody must know. "Later."

Renee smiled wider as the door opened. The last image I saw was that of her parents hugging her with apologies in their eyes.

I never had that.

"You are surprisingly quiet." Kyle nudged me as soon as we were ushered into a Jeep. "Aren't we using our cars?"

"We will drive it for you."

"Er, no." Zeke shook his head. "No one drives my baby except me. "Don't you have a bigger truck that can tow my baby away or something?"

That was sick. To tow his baby away. One of the guards snapped his hhands,and a bigger truck appeared from nowhere. Were they expecting us to resist or something?

They always had everything ready. I eyed their shock sticks wearily. That should keep a strong wolf down for a few minutes.

Wait, Baron didn't tell them he was expecting some visitors? Well, considering our welcome attack package and the inspectors barging into people's homes, I knew this meeting or whatever it was wouldn't be pleasant. The thought of that weighed heavily on my mind.

I raised an eyebrow at Kyle, who was still staring at me intensely. "What?" My eyes asked in irritation. I wanted to be left alone since this visit was overwhelming. I have a feeling they had more equipment to capture people like me.

I was sure they knew what I was for them to send monsters at me. Could I really trust the twins not to hand me over to the blood moon pack for political alliances?

1 shivered in fear.

"You should be asking questions or making a snarky comment, not this deathly silence. I don't like it." Kyle gestured into an open car. I slipped in without a word. As usual, Zeke was beside me, and once again, I was sandwiched between the two of them. "Zeke, what did you do to Naya?" Kyle whined suddenly, causing Zeke and I to frown in surprise. "I can't be the only one talking here."

"Well, what do you want me to say?" I snapped at his childish attitude. It was imitating. "That I am scared?" The car was quiet after that. Two guards entered from different sides, and soon the engine started.

Kyle chuckled, not hurting one bit. "Okay. I'll leave you alone."

He didn't sound like someone who was going to do just that.

I sighed.
