Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 97

I gaped at her reply. "Nothing? So he should stay here without..."

"You could go back to your body and figure out a plan. It means we won't be having a discussion tonight." She shrugged, getting ready to leave. Jeez, this woman knew what she was doing. Either I went back to my body or I followed her and learned more. She must know he was my mate. "Was that why you hid the fact that they were my mates?

You said you knew everything!" I yelled back at her.

Slowly, she stopped with her eyelids closed. "Well, you caught me." Her white robes were raised a little. "Listen, I can't tell' you everything but we eventually figure everything out."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing from Elder Rosalie. It felt like she was constantly keeping secrets from me, and it was frustrating. I crossed my arms, demanding more answers.

"But why keep things from me? If we're supposed to be a team, why not share everything?"

She scoffed. "A team? I'd wonder if that's what we are now.

Just because you saw the elderly one and the moon goddess doesn't make us a team. You need to learn your manners, young lady." Her stare was getting frightening now. I swallowed hard as it came my way like never before.. I still have a long way to go, right?

"You need to help him. I don't even know how to get back into my body. How do..."

Elder Rosalie stamped her rod to the floor in irritation. This was one of the rare times I saw her irritated by my rantings.

"You will figure it out. I'll be waiting for whatever decision you choose."

I gave her my best puppy eye I could muster. She was leaving me alone when we just got to see each other. She did not even have the time to reprimand me.

Elder Rosalie sighed, her expression a mix of frustration and empathy. She could see that I was trying so hard to make her help me, knowing well that she would never help me. It would ruin the purpose of her power as the watcher.

She simply allowed things to run its course. It was that terrible. "Naya, it's not that simple. Some things are better left uncovered until the right time. Trust me, it's for your own safety and the safety of those around you."

There she goes again. Withen why was she here if she wouldn't help me do s**t? I couldn't bear to see Kyle writhing under the bed. He was trying his best not to wake Zeke up subconsciously. I clenched my fists, torn between my desire for answers and my respect for the elders. "I just want to help Kyle. He's going through something terrible, and I need to be there for him. But you are asking me to choose between following you for answers tonight and.."

Elder Rosalie's eyes softened, and she placed a hand on my shoulder. "I understand your concern, but sometimes the best way to help is by learning and growing on your own. You have unique elder abilities, Naya, and you'll need to master them to protect those you care about. Not just that. We will never know when your powers will be enough to summon me again. You are in a dangerous place, yet you aren't thinking about yourself. Naya, you have a long way to go."

She was right, but I reluctantly nodded, realizing that there was more to this than I initially understood. It also opened my eyes to the reality that I loved the twins more than myself. This was a trivial matter. It was time for me to make my decision. "Okay, I'll go back to my body for now and try to figure things out. But promise me you'll help me when the time is right." She must already know that I would choose my mates over her. Now that I have figured they were my mates and their intentions were pure, I'll protect them too. I half expected Elder Rosalie to shrug and leave me to figure how to go back to my body, but instead she smiled knowingly. Leaning closer to me so that her hands would touch me, she whispered. "I promise, Naya. You're not alone and we'll be here when you're ready."

"Wait.. we?" I was puzzled. To my shock, the rest of the Elders materialized from nowhere. "How?" Before I could complete the statement, she pushed my back into my body. I expected to be met with hardness but I opened my eyes in shock. The elders were here with me! They heard me rant and talk like I was...

Wait... Elder Freya must have stood really he corner watching me... oh no! I was about to scan the area for her when I noticed Kyle was trembling. His condition has gotten worse than the last few minutes. "Kyle." I whisper close to his ears, hoping hed not hit me and stop thrashing about. Zeke was fastasleep and I knew he needed his sleep more than anything.

That is, if he wanted to successfully fight Baron Diego.

"Sh.." I muttered closer to his ear, proceeding to cradle his head on my lap. The last time, I was able to calm him down and this time, I would turn his nightmare into a wet dream he would #ever forget. It was a bold move I knew, considering the fact that the elders could still be loitering around. If I wasn't an elder myself, I'd never know that they could leave their bodies and enter into other packs.

I think the reason they could do that was because of Elder Rosalie. She made them visible to me after a while. I dragged my hands into Kyle's shirt.. This was different from the last time. The last time, he poured pop soda on (me, drenching my clothes... this time. He's mine.

I was not trying to take advantage of his helpless state. I was just doing what worked the last time. My hands traveled lower to where his muscles were tensed and I began to knead gently to which he groaned like I was touching the right places. He no longer writhed like before and Instead leaned to my touch.

"Naya.." Kyle muttered and before I could answer, I was dragged down. I gasped in shock only to see that his eyes were closed. He was still deep in sleep. His sweaty body hugged mine and we were in perfect sync.

"Are you okay, now?" I asked, hoping he would answer me.

Well his next behavior showed he was more than okay as he began to grind unto me.

s**t. I muttered under my breath. This took a dark turn immediately. It was worse than I thought. I quickly tapped his back to see if he would come back to his senses and let me go. Although 1 knew it would be hard for him to. I started it and I must finish it. Jeez.

Marley Storm

It's been six hours since the alpha of the pack chose to disappear into thin air with his friends. That boy would be the death of me. Elder Freya had warned me never to sit in the Alpha's chair. As much as I'd like to spite her, I didn't feel like provoking her. I sat there seething as Freya's words echoing in my mind like a relentless drumbeat. She had a knack for getting inside my head, and I hated it with every fiber of my being.

After all, she was the weather fairy. If she thinks I am not aware of their powers they have got something else coming. I couldn't let her words deter me. This was my chance to prove myself as a capable leader in Zeke's absence. Once I do that, I'll take the rightful place as the Luna of the pack. Then the same way I allowed Alpha storm to die...

I'll do that to Zeke.

First, I needed protection and in order to get that, I'll need to address the issue of the guards at the children's cottage. It was a matter of pack security, and if Freya was right about earning the pack's trust, I had to handle it wisely. Although we were both thinking differently. I reached for my phone,

*my fingers tapping impatiently on the screen as I dialed a number I never thought I'd have to call. He should better answer immediately or...

After a few rings, a deep and authoritative voice answered on the other end. "Alpha Baron Diego of the Blood Moon pack speaking. What do you want, Marley Storm?" His voice had the tingle all Alpha wolves had, but this was different. I'll have to keep my disgust inside to get what I wanted. "I don't use this except for emergencies and tell me this isn't an emergency."

He was ranting again, I rolled my eyes to the heavens, taking a deep breath, trying to keep my frustration at bay.

"Baron, we need to talk. It's about the little incident you caused. It's making things hard for me here."

There was a pause on the line, and I could almost picture Baron's cold calculating expression. "Go on."

"They're causing unnecessary tension in Wolf Cove, I explained, choosing my words carefully. "We need a better idea. How about the beta?"

Baron chuckled on the other end, a sound that sent cold shivers down my spine. "Oh, Marley, always trying to be the best aren't you? But you see, I have my reasons for inviting them here. Reasons that you might not fully understand."

I clenched my fist, my patience wearing thin. "Baron, we have to coexist peacefully for both our plans to work."

There was a brief silence, and I could sense the tension on the line. Baron was a formidable Alpha, and he didn't like being questioned. "Very well, Marley Storm. I'll send my guards after the beta, but only under one condition."

I leaned forward, ready to hear his condition. "Name it."

"You owe me a favor, Baron replied gravely. "One day, I'll come to collect, and you won't refuse."

I hesitated for a moment, weighing the consequences of agreeing to Barons condition. But I had no choice. "Agreed.

Find the beta and we'll consider this matter settled."

Baron's chuckle filled the line again, sending a chill down my spine. "Until our next meeting."

As I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but feel I made another mistake. Making a deal with Baron was a risky move, but I had to do whatever it took to be Luna again.
