Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 92

Kyle Storm

"Put her down gently." Zeke ordered that if I didn't do that, she was going to break into two. Let him deny it all he wanted, we were falling deeper in love with Naya.

I gently lowered the purple haired wolf to the soft bed. We all chose one bed, just like I predicted. Naya's mouth was slightly open, and when I leaned closer to her nose, she inhaled and exhaled just fine. When I loosened the scarf, her hair flowed all over the bed. It was longer than her usual red hair. It had me freezing in shock for a second.

"Good job out there." Zeke gave me a single nod. It was unusual for him to compliment me this way, so I did what a Kyle storm would do.

Beam.

"Ugh!" He rolled his eyes playfully before sitting beside Naya to pet her hair. "Her hair has become longer."

"I can see that." I muttered, sitting on the other side, to caress her warm shoulders. "Her body is warm; wherever she is, she isn't in danger."

"It's her power. Something around her probably triggered it.

Don't you think so too?" Zeke was brooding with a hand under his chin.

I considered Zeke's words for a moment. He had a point:

Elder powers should react whenever there was danger. I couldn't believe I knew nothing about elders.

But one thing I knew was that their powers often reacted to her emotions and surroundings. Take Elder Freya for one.

She was a b***h. "You might be onto something," I admitted. "But it's still strange that her hair has changed color too." I thought it was going to be her natural color of hair, since it has always been blazing, making her easy targets for bullies. It wasn't right now. Her hair practically turned purple in my presence, and it took everything in me not to scream.

As a wolf, there were many bizarre things to see. In Wolf

Cove, the abnormality was normal. Elders displayed magic all the time, although only those close to the Alpha family could have the privilege to see such a beautiful display of powers. Naya was one of them, because how could an elder heal her bruised knee? It was het first time up close and with Elder before.

It made me wonder if the Elders and Naya have a close relationship. Zeke nodded, his fingers gently trailing through Naya's now-vibrant purple locks. They seemed to be shimmering under the soft glow. "True, her hair's never done this before. Maybe it's a side effect of whatever caused her powers to flare up." He glanced at the door. "Is it locked?"

"Cameras. You can't put it past these people." I nodded towards the extravagant ceiling. It was nothing like what I had seen before. Heavy structures in the shape of the antelope's antlers dangled from the ceiling. They were filled with bright lights that illuminated

our room.

"Can you see one?" Zeke was a bit anxious, which was unlike him. "If I concentrate, I can hear it." With a nod to my side, I gave him the floor. After a minute, his eyes snapped open. Zeke raised his fingers to the closet, which indicated there was one there. Next, he pointed at the figurines on the table.

"Wow, these figurines are beautiful." I exclaimed loudly, walking towards them. "It would be a shame to break them." I pushed my elbow around the table, not surprised when all the figurines came tumbling down. Great.

"Yeah?" I asked Zeke in code. He gave a quick nod, and we spent the next few minutes breaking and destroying all of it. "Woh! I am so excited!" I paused. "What if we are breaking the rules of this pack by destroying these things?" leyed the broken black technology on the floor. They really went far, huh?

Zeke shrugged. "He will have me to contend with. No Alpha should be spied on."

I rolled my eyes. "We are being rude to him right now."

Zeke raised an eyebrow as if to ask, "Really?" "You are saying this now? He will have to deal with it."

I glanced at the door, half expecting the inspectors or guards or whatever their names were to come barging in, state a code, and say we were found guilty or something.

My gaze went back to Naya's peaceful expression as she slept. "Do you think she's dreaming about something related to this?"

Zeke's brows furrowed in thought. "Possibly. But we won't know for sure until she wakes up."

We sat in silence for a moment, lost in our thoughts. It was rare for us to be so open and vulnerable with each other, but Naya has always been our top priority. We have always agreed on what to do with her.

"I just hope she's okay," I said softly, my concern for Naya growing by the minute. "Wherever she is, For some reason, I don't feel as worried as I should. What if she was dying?" I was opening up to cold and emotionless Zeke for the first time. He may think I was telling a joke. But he has always been good at taking me seriously and knowing when I'm not joking. Like the time I had a nightmare. And still do.

Zeke glanced at me, his usual stoic demeanor giving way to a hint of worry. "Kyle, you aren't just worried about Naya; you are worried about yourself." He chuckled, surprising me. "I don't know if coming here was & good idea."

He, too, was having doubts. Damn, Zeke, and you didn't tell anyone! I was a bit hurt that my brother didn't see me as someone to confide in. Speaking of which... Zeke has never confided in me before. He was always fond of carrying his burdens alone. Still, I appreciated Zeke's attempt to comfort me by expressing his fears. It hasn't been easy for him, either. "No," I chose to say.

He raised his confused eyes to look at me. "You are the Alpha, so I say no. I am not going to allow you to have doubts about coming here regardless of what Marley or Dad has to say."

Zeke couldn't form a coherent sentence. He seemed overwhelmed with what I was saying, and frankly, I was spewing s**1. "What are you talking about?" Now he was looking at me like I was drunk when he damn well knows that an alpha wolf can't get drunk. Well, Naya is an omega, SO..

took a deep breath to steady my nerves. "I have always known you to be the rational one, so you are not allowed to think for a second that this was a wrong decision. What made you think that anyway?" As much as I was trying to lift his spirits, I was deviating from the main point. "Talk to me, Zeke."

His expression held pain for a while. "You lost me there for a moment."

"I am sorry. Talk to me." I am talkative, so I usually lose track of my words.

"I met a desert wolf. The Alpha, to be precise." He began with his attention on Naya's slightly open mouth.

"What happened?"

Zeke sighed again. If I was going to get anything from Zeke, I had to be patient. He either spoke slowly or never spoke at all. If he was angry, Flame would take over, and every word he spoke would be deadly. "He seemed different. You know, dressed like Baron Diego's people. He said he knew me."

"So what?" I asked, not getting the memo.

It was when Zeke flashed angry eyes at me that I knew I wasn't taking him seriously. "I am sorry. So what if you saw a desert wolf and he wore fancy clothes?"

"No!" Zeke suddenly growled. "He was different. He doesn't seem like an Alpha, only to be submitted under this house This place. You should have asked yourself, What a f*****g desert wolf is doing here?"

I blinked, trying to understand him.

"Desert wolves are few

in number. They hunt side by side... em." I scratched the back of my hair to recall more. Then it clicked. "Desert wolves never change their outfit!"

Zeke seemed satisfied with my answer. "Now, I saw him in those clothes, claiming to have known us since we were babies. He said we have always held this meeting in the manor and that he knew our mother. We just walked into the f*****g enemy's territory with our mate!" And without plans, I added silently.

I gulped at the revelation of all of this. He was right... Oh, he was so right. He was also wrong because we were not alone. "We may have done that, but they don't have what we have."

Zeke snapped his head at me. "What is that?"

Trolled my eyes at his ignorance as I pointed to Naya on the bed. It wasn't getting cute any more. But Naya's soft snores? Now, that was cute. With the expression on my brother's face, I knew he was about to ruin the little comfort I offered. I didn't ask him to use her immediately. Although I was still skeptical of Naya, we had practically brought her on this journey. To see if she was a spy too. I haven't told Zeke about Maley's little escapades. He may not believe me since she was Luna.

"What if we can't control her powers when she wakes up?

What if she's a danger to herself or others?" Zeke closed his eyes in worry. Wow, seeing Zeke like this blew my mind.

I was glad to know that he was not all animalistic

-

I placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Right now, all we can do is be here for her. Should we change into our wolf and cuddle her?" As much as we would hate to admit it, she was our mate, and body contact might reach out to her.

He eventually nodded. "I know, Kyle. It's just hard to see her like this." See her like this? She was sleeping with me. A part of me was glad that Zeke had forgotten about the desert wolf for now. We shouldn't bother ourselves with other Alphas and just focus on why we are here. Zeke's gaze never left Naya. "I think we should do what you have suggested."

Yeah, but I fear for our wolves when we change. I reached out to Shadow. "Hey!" I whispered.

"You do not call your wolf like that!" Shadow harrumphed.

Such a naughty wolf! He was trying to hide his excitement about getting to cuddle Naya with his brother, Flame.

"You know why I am calling you." I deadpanned. "Don't try stupid things while you are out there." I paused for a second. "Please."

Shadow gave me a 'really' look. "I can't make promises."

"Then no, because the moment you are out, you will be doing something stupid like humping on her back. Look, I know we have blue balls, but don't do that to Naya." I knew my wolf better than he knew himself; besides being called the ancient wolf, his experience with pervasive things was massive. I was good at that too.

"I will behave, I promise." Shadow had his serious face on. I shouldn't trust that for a minute. There was nothing I could do anyway other thap trust him. So I closed my eyes in preparation for him to take over.

"No!" Zeke clicked the roof of his tongue in anger. "We have to do it in the bathroom." Before his words could sink into my head, I had changed into Shadow. By the time Shadow was out, there were no blood stains, causing me to look around in shock. Zeke, too, was confused. There could only be one explanation. Naya's magic had probably absorbed everything. If she wasn't here, there would have been blood stains all over the floor and bed sheets. Shadow stuck his tongue out.

"Damn! I like to clean myself. He climbed into the bed immediately, and I closed my eyes in embarrassment. He was going to do it again.
