Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 90

Kyle Storm

"She must be so tired from the journey" Mr. Diego looked different from the last time I saw him. He had muscles that couldn't be hidden even under those robes. His hair was slightly coiled back with black gel, and his eyes had black rims around them. Either he hasn't been sleeping well or that was how he looked. What surprised me more was how younger he was, unlike the last time. He was aging like fine wine. This man was a bit different from the man who killed my father.

It made me skeptical of who he truly

was.

There was a dark aura around him. It smelled like an Alpha's, but at the same time, it was something I couldn't place my thoughts on. I cradled Naya properly so that neither the noise nor the uncomfortable position would wake her up. If I must say, she twitched a little to the right when I cradled her closer. Unconsciously, she was leaning closer to me. We needed a place to lay her down so she could rest.

"We all are. After all, we didn't have a warm welcome." Zeke's hands were in his pockets. He did that whenever he was observing his environment, and I could tell he was doing that right now.

Mr. Diego paused to beam at Zeke. "You deviated from the right path. We don't use short cuts here."

Zeke gave him an equally unhappy smile. "Ah. Then we left" a trail of bodies behind. I hope you don't mind."

Mr. Diego subtly gave his guards side glances. They all dispersed to do what I couldn't decipher. "It is their duty to make sure our guests don't stray off the path. If you saw that as an attack, who am I to disagree?"

"You don't seem offended, and you look familiar for some reason." Zeke played with the lion's tail. He was going to provoke Diego, but to me, it seemed fertile. In fact, everything we did here seemed to be going downhill.

"Many people say I look like a school teacher. Would you like to refute that fact?" The smile was gone from his face now as he seized Zeke from head to toe. He looked squashable to me. Like a mosquito on gum, ready to be squashed.

"No. Zeke backed out like the gentle man he was. Pff, my brother was no gentleman. Cold, calculative? Yes, he was that. He must have figured out how foolish it was to challenge an alpha in his territory without a concrete plan. "Shall we?" Diego ushered us in as he inconspicuously monitored Naya. "Your mate? I didn't plan for extra guests."

He was definitely desperate to know who I carried in my hands. Really? Did he really want to know that? I wasn't in the mood to share the reason why Naya was like this. I could break his f****g nose if he continued to prod me for answers. I froze, feeling annoyance coursing through my body. "Well, s**k it up. You didn't expect us to walk in here without someone to accompany us, right?"

"Kyle." Zeke warned carefully. Don't worry, brother, 1 won't reveal our mission here.

"Careful, Kyle. I don't smell 'nice from this man." Shadow expressed his anger in a weird way. He always did that when he didn't like the aura of a fellow wolf. Or, in this case, a fellow Alpha. Of course, he was sketchy.

"Hold me back because I promise this won't be the last he sees of me." I gulped down my anger, but it rumbled in my stomach like an undigested meal.

Shadow sounded pained as he spat. "Flame already warned me. I can't do s**t and ruin our plans. I need to know why this f*****g Alpha killed my father."

"It's alright." I took a deep breath to calm him down.

"We are here for a meeting. I won't have disrespect in my pack. If you cannot respect me in my pack, leave. Besides, you and your brother have already killed twenty of my pack (guards and injured one. I don't like it." He wasn't like before, as more darkness covered his already dark form.

Seriously? Was this man into sorcery or something like that? Maybe he had elders backing him up. But we were the only ones capable of doing that. They were our elders, not his.

We were the only pack in this realm with elders, hence our rights and respect.

"I am cool." I resigned from making a fool of myself. "You haven't properly introduced ourselves. It's like you know who we are from our looks."

Mr. Diego popped out a silly laugh that hid his annoyed feelings earlier. "No, I don't."

I raised an eyebrow in shock, and Zeke did the same. Like I said, we work in sync.

"You don't know who we are?" If he

did, he was hiding it well, because even I couldn't smell a single lie in him. His heartbeat was perfectly stable, and his face seemed innocent. Jeez, he was going to let us believe what we saw, huh? "That's bullshit." Shadow spat bitterly.

"I don't believe him." I agreed with Shadow.

"But everything shows he's saying the truth."

"Alphas are good liars too." I eyed my brother, who pretended like he wasn't shocked. The fact was that we both managed to hide our murderous intent until now.

Weren't we amazing enough to be called good liars?

"But." The man grinned before checking Zeke and me out.

Wait... Gross.

I grimaced like I just ate something raw. "What?"

"It's obvious where you are from."

I looked at Zeke's clothing. "What gave us away?" If he wanted us to play along, sure, I was in for the ride. I was known as the manipulative master. He was stupid to think I'd fall for his show. "Shoes." He jerked his head towards my shoes.

I followed his gaze down to my legs. My shoes looked normal to me. Oh, they had a bit of dirt under them. Yeah, he was right. We didn't have that many roads, so we basically walked on solid earth. "Good point. What else?"

He raised his eyes to my shoulders. "Clothes. Not the latest, but comfortable enough to discard whenever you need to change. You are from the Wolf Cove pack. Brutal animals." He finished, and I thought we were supposed to clap for him. His last words were supposed to be a compliment, but coming from him made them sound like an insult.

We arrived at the doors, which opened wide for us to get through. "You went out of your way, didn't you? Well, you aren't entirely wrong."

There was music and a lot of noise from over a hundred wolves, possibly Alphas. They all had either a glass of wine in their hands or their mate's hands in their hands.

I could care less. There were special scents-too heavy a scent and weak ones. All were from different parts of the world. It was amazing that this man was able to put over a hundred Alphas together.

Zeke walked past us without a word into the crowd. I had a hard time catching up with him. He stopped midway. "Get Naya somewhere less noisy." He looked around like he wasn't expecting to replace this many people in fancy clothes on the first day he arrived. He was right when he told me to put on fancy clothes. Naya was asleep, so she didn't stand out much. What stood out was the fact that I carried a grown lady on my shoulders.

"I am Baron Diego, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, and we welcomed all our guests this way." When he saw my reaction, he added "Don't feel too special." With a snap of his finger, a woman appeared beside me. I know she appeared because I couldn't even hear her f*****g footsteps.

"Come with me to your room." She stared pointedly at Naya in case I wanted to refuse. Who was I to refuse a good night's rest with Naya by my side? This was one of the perks of not being an Alpha. Work will be tedious later, but for now? I would appreciate it if my brother did all the work tonight.

I was about to leave when Zeke joined me. "On the other hand, I'll join you. We need to regroup and think of our next course of action."

I raised an eyebrow as if to ask him what went wrong. Zeke rolled his eyes. "I am just tired."

Something told me he didn't just want to be close to our father's killer all night. I gestured for the woman to lead the way, which she did. She took us away from the bustling environment toward an empty hall and farther away from the activities.

We went from one hall to another until she stopped at a distinct hall. There were at least two doors for two people. I knew we were going to use one unless Naya woke and demanded a separate room. We won't be able to refuse her then. "This would be your quarters. It is away from the other guests, so you don't have to worry about privacy.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be communicated to you through the telephone in your rooms. If you need anything, dial the number one for service."

Seeing that she wasn't going to show us our rooms, I gave her a single nod. Rooms at the Wolf Cove didn't have pretty and easy services like this.
