Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 79

When I opened my eyes, I saw Zeke leaning on his car while cleaning his hands with a white handkerchief. "Ouch." I muttered, rubbing a sore spot on my head.

"You hit your head pretty hard." Kyle said this from behind me, and I turned to replace him seated.

"Did I?" I asked him because, judging from his position, I had my head on his lap. No wonder it was so warm.

He nodded affirmatively.

"You were too overwhelmed, and

we did what we could to save you."

I blinked as many times as I could. "Really?" Glancing outside, I could see the bodies of many monstrous wolves.

"You really killed them."

"To send a message." Zeke replied before throwing the bloody handkerchief on their lifeless bodies. "I will take responsibility when we get there."

"I am taking the pictures right now." Kyle smiled as he took selfies with those lifeless wolves.

"Really?" I deadpanned.

"For soverneir. I mean, if they were going to attack us again, why not show them what happened to their comrades first?" He shrugged, tucking his phone into his pocket.

When he didn't delete the pictures, I realized he was being serious. Sometimes I couldn't tell if he was saying the truth or being sarcastic. It was always like that with Kyle. "We better get into that place before the moon is at its highest."

If these wolves wanted me earlier, was this not leaving me up for sacrifice? Or does Zeke have a greater plan? He seemed like a man going in with a plan. I am sure he wasn't going to leave me just like that.

"There's no plan." I said to Flame, who chuckled.

"Naya trusts you, and now you tell me there's no plan?"

"Yes. I plan to go with the flow, you know."

"Shadow needs to hear this." Flame began to pace everywhere. He was irritated and upset with me. Who could blame him? I was going into the lion's den without a plan but to kill anyone that stood in my way. That's what I'm going to do. "Do you think they are going to welcome you with open arms or something? You need to think, Zeke. For all I cared, you could get there and they'd lock you up in one of their technology thingies."

"I don't think so." I knew the Blood moon pack were far ahead in technology and science because how else could they recreate those monsters in their bodies? But they would never overpower the power of the full moon and the blood moon, that's for sure. That's what has kept the wolf cove safe all these years.

"Bullshit. We need a plan as soon as possible."

"I'll speak to Kyle." Was my short reply to Flame, or he'd never leave me alone. After a while, he came back:

"I have. If I knew you weren't on plan, I wouldn't have directed you here."

"Yeah." I wouldn't have come here either.

My brother is worried. I saw the way he fought those furious things to protect Naya. It was amazing. He has always been cool. This was no different.

"What do you think?" I knocked on Shadow's mind. We haven't communicated in a long time. "Are we going to survive?"

"You are usually afraid, Kyle. Why aren't you today?"

Shadow began his prodding. He probably knew the reason and wanted to tease me.

"I have nightmares. I have always had them. My worst fear is for them to manifest in our realm. That's what I am afraid of." I raised my hands in surrender. "Zeke knows of your problem. As for Naya, you pushed her away when she tried to help you."

I chuckled loudly. "Really? I did what I had to do then to save my face. Don't bring that up now, and act like the good guy. We are both terrible, and you know it."

"Wait. I am receiving a signal from my brother, Flame. I think Zeke doesn't have a plan as we are going in."

I rolled my eyes to the heavens. "Our plan must be to kill them then."

"So be it."

My phone began to vibrate just as I finished speaking to Shadow. It was Brooke. I have been avoiding her since that fateful night with Naya.

"Hey, Brooke." I cleared my throat, smiling like she could see me and ignoring the annoyed look my brother and Naya gave me. She has been quiet since, and I was sure she was lost in her own thoughts. What's she thinking about? Whats she thinking about? Here I was on a call with Brooke, yet I couldn't help but think about what Naya was thinking about. Her eyes seemed to hold secrets. Secrets that would follow her to her grave if possible. "Where are you? I came to the house only to replace Marley disgusted by me."

"She's disgusted with everyone and everything." I deadpanned. It wasn't her first meeting with her, but at least I know she could stand Brooke better than her own daughter.

"Okay, I know. You did not have to use such a condescending tone on me." She wasn't happy, that's for sure. "I waited for you the whole day in your room, but you didn't come. School resumes in two days; will you come?"

"I er." I turned to my brother, who was driving with the utmost concentration. He was trying to beat nightfall. "I may be able to make it if I don't die first." I added the last part after careful consideration.

"What did you say?" Of course, she didn't hear me - well.

"Nothing." I grinned at the mirror when I saw Naya's eyes locked on mine. She wasn't happy with my cell; I could tell that for sure. As to why? I didn't know. Then I remembered that Brooke had good news for me. You see, after the meeting with the elders, I went for a long run. After that, I went to Spar, forgetting I had asked her to wait for me. She waited for a long time and then left.

End of story.

"You can't even say you are sorry for standing me up." She started. I was not in the mood for her drama.

"Brooke, stop." I yelled before she could go any further.

"Why are you so selfish? I have a lot of matters to attend to, and you are acting like it's all about you."

Zeke and Naya gave me the look again, and it totally irritated me.

"What is it?" I mouthed in anger.

She was quiet for a long time. "I came to tell you some good news. Want to hear that now?"

s**t! She sounded hurt. Really hurt. "Yes."

"I needed to calm

down.

"Words got to me that my father is alive."

That got our attention. "What?"

Naya's eyes widened in shock. "Beta Brooke is alive?" She muttered to herself.

"Is someone there?" Brooke asked suspiciously, and I quickly raised an index finger to my lips, asking her to shut the f**k up.

"No. Nobody" It couldn't get out of my head. I specifically asked Dr. Ali not to tell anyone else.

"How did you know

about this?"

She sighed. "I don't know... Darren called me and said so."

"Ask her if Darren's father works with the Z patrol team." Zeke mouthed to me. We were approaching a gate that seemed endless. There was neither a beginning nor an end "Does Darren." I was about to ask.

"I know what you want to ask, and yes, his father must have spilled it on his wife while he was within hearing range." Brooke said

"That's f****d up. And he told you? For what?"

I was suddenly curious as to why he would tell Brooke what he heard.

"At a silly price."

"What did he ask for?"

"You'd be surprised if I told you." Brooke said.

"Well, say it." I urged gently. There was no point in yelling at her now.

"A ticket to a concert. I asked Renee for it."

Naya was breathing down my neck immediately.

"What? My Renee?" She mouthed carefully.

"What Renee and what concert?" I questioned Brooke instead

"It's in the class group chat. There's a concert taking place at the Blood moon pack." She eventually said

"The f**k?" Why wasn't I in the group chat?

"You muted the group chat, remember?"

"How could I mute such important information?"

Zeke is listening in on my conversation right now.

"You complained that the messages were too much. I was there when you muted it. Secondly, it was random and very expensive. I wonder how she got the tickets." My brother was eager to talk to me now.

"Okay. Brooke, can I talk to you later?"

"When?" She sounded possessive.

"Just give me five minutes." I ended the call to turn to curious eyes. "Seriously? I can't get five minutes with Brooke without the both of you breathing down my neck." "Renee did what?" Naya asked, ignoring my ranting about space. They both knew I wasn't a stickler for personal space. "Is she affiliated with the blood moon pack?" "I think so."

"I am not in the school group chat." Zeke shook his head

"The only place a concert can take place is at the blood moon pack."

*"What if Brooke bought a ticket and is there right now?"

Naya asked fearfully.

"Don't be ridiculous; she said she gave it to Darren in exchange for that information." I injected

"I don't trust any of them." Zeke added.

"Of course we shouldn't trust these people." I couldn't say I trusted Brooke one bit. But there's one thing I know for sure

-she trusts me.

"I think we should talk more about this when we get to the pack. There's something going on, and woe betide the person who goes to that concert without my permission." Zeke's hands tightened around the steering wheel again.
