Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 52

Kyle's

POV

It was so frustrating. I have been going through Dad's record, and I couldn't replace anything to show that he was affiliated with the Blood Moon Pack. This had to be a collective attack. There was someone in the pack who worked with the rival pack. How else could they have known where to look? Especially Mr. Diego, who was appointed teacher and nobody suspected him.

I should question our school dean. I could only wait until my brother was the official Alpha. That way I could ask questions in his name and not get reprimanded by the elders for prying too much into matters that concerned the Alpha. My brother was Alpha, and so was I. We were both born with genes anyway. The only thing that separated us was the fact that he came out three minutes before I did.

"Reid, did my father confide in you or anything as such? He must have known the reasons why the rivals were attacking us." I asked Reid, who just stood by the door like a butler, awaiting instructions. I closed my eyes in frustration when he didn't reply. "This is your father's office. In other words, it would be Zeke's soon. You know he doesn't like things being messed up."

I rolled my eyes. "Well, he can tell the staff to arrange the papers and whatever this is." I glanced at the stack of rumpled papers around me. He was right; Zeke would go ballistic if he saw me doing this to his soon-to-be office. I knew I wasn't supposed to be here. I raised my head to Reid's stern ones. I will be eighteen soon and become an adult, so I don't have to answer to him all the time.

"Alright, I will leave." I raised my hands in surrender, kicking a document to the side. "On one condition."

Reid subtly sighed. I hid my mischievous smile. It was hard to get him ruffled up like this. I loved it! "Did my father tell you anything?" He knew what I meant. I didn't have to spell it out for him.

He stared into space for a while. "No."

I groaned loudly. Jeez. Where do I start? Everyone is acting like the alpha's death was just a coincidence. Well, given the circumstances, I wouldn't blame them. The Alpha does, and all traces of the fight disappear. Only my father knew that those monsters were from the Blood Moon Pack. No werewolf resembled the type of creature that almost strangled me the other day. He knew everything, and I need to know what he knew that led to his death.

"You can ask Luna. I believe he shared everything with her."

I narrowed my eyes on him. "What do you mean you shared everything?"

Reid simply shrugged before bowing and walking off. I promise that when my brother sits on his throne, he won't dare walk out on me again! I heaved, walking out of the room. I was met with three pairs of fearful eyes. They were staff and waited until I was done so they could clean the office for my brother. I snorted at their trembling forms. Why? Maybe my dad's death changed me, or maybe I have always been this type of a*****e who doesn't give a s**t about people. Except for someone.

"Clean that s**t up. Let it sparkle. Don't tell my brother I was in this study." With that, I walked off, watching out of the corner of my eye as they all rushed to do as I had said. They knew better than to rattle me. Suddenly, a scent caught my nose. It tickled my nostrils, and I sneezed in the most ungraceful way.

"What the f**k?" It came again almost immediately. I sighed when I realized who it was. Oh, it was my personal secret. I didn't tell anyone that I could perceive Naya's scent even while the scentless spray was on. I only knew she sprayed it because it tickled my nose, and instead of keeping me away from her, it led me directly to her so that I could stop her from destroying my nose any further.

"Really?" I bellowed in the space, scanning the room for any sign of her. "Don't think I don't know what you have been up to!" I yelled some more so that she would come out of wherever she had been hiding.

There was no reply. It was then that I realized she must have probably passed through the house. Besides, my brother's fight was tonight, and I haven't been in a good mood.

My phone vibrated in my left pocket. I pulled it out, only to replace Brooke's ID on the screen. I cleared my throat before pressing the green button. She has been too clingy lately, and I knew it was because of the challenge my brother had. Does she think she is our mate? Deep down, I knew she wasn't.

"Babe." I cooed softly. It was the voice she had known all her life. I could never reveal my other side to her. It won't end well. Only Naya has seen that side and hasn't run away. Yet. "Feeling lonely?" I wasn't feeling lonely, as the case of my dad clouded my mind. I haven't gotten laid in a week now, which is a world record. Maybe I should write it down somewhere, like all lazy girls do.

"Yes," she said in a sweet voice. The one I have come to hate recently. I grimaced at her tone. "I feel so sad about my dad. He has refused to come home."

There she goes again with the sad story. Don't you see that I am trying to solve a problem here? To me, my problem was worse than hers. Couldn't she f*****g get it? I rubbed the bridge of my nose so that I wouldn't snap at her. She has always been this selfish. "Babe, why don't I meet you for dinner tonight?" Anything to make her shut the f**k up.

She sounded delighted. "Yes. I will make mac and cheese. I know you like it."

Do I? All foods were my favorites, especially meat. "Alright."

I clicked the red button before she could say anything else. Now, to the source that tickled my nose. As I made my way to the arena, I could hear the loud groans of my brother. He was fighting for his life while I was here, messing up the whole manor. There were three things I needed to replace. The first was Marley, who I knew was a f*****g leech. She came here with her daughter to suck my dad's d**k. Who knew? She could have killed him for all I cared.

Secondly, there was the pack doctor. That bastard would surely know something because it's been a month and I haven't heard s**t about my dad's autopsy. The last time I checked, he only hinted to me that a certain girl who walks around Scentless has been asking him the same questions I asked him.

Naya was the only one who wasn't proud of her scent. I mean, why would she go about asking for my father's autopsy if she wasn't hiding something? Dad suggested she become bait earlier, so I knew they weren't exactly on good terms. It made her questions even more suspicious. She had better stop, or the rats of the Blood Moon Pack would fish her out and kill her just like my dad.

Come to think of it, the monsters had targeted her earlier. Even though I wanted her to be bait, I couldn't let her go out there. It was funny to see her beg for her life and give so many excuses for why she couldn't be bait.

She was smart, as far as I know. All these were leading me to her. I needed to know what she knew. I paused for a bit to watch the fight from a distance. It was going well. My brother was doing well. Flame was really delivering good and heavy punches on... wait a minute. I know that hind legs... Darren? I scoffed. That piece of s**t doesn't know what he put himself into. I wish Zeke would break his bones properly. The audacity he had to challenge my brother was amusing.

Then it all happened slowly. I could see Zeke looking into the crowd. His gaze held... love? Hope? I tilted my head to see who it was. I followed his gaze, and no shit... it was Naya.

Naya f*****g Cod... Brawn? Yeah, we all call her brawn because she was the weakest girl we have ever seen. It was mocking because everyone could clearly see that she was not physically fit. She was thin and bony. Brawn was a ridiculous but perfect name for her. It only confirmed my suspicions. Zeke actually likes Naya. I shrugged. It was refreshing to see my brother like a girl. However, I wasn't pleased. How could he like someone for whom we do not know her true purpose in coming into the family?
