Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 95

Zeke

Storm

"So she wasn't sleeping, huh?" Flame chuckled lowly. He has been mesmerized by Naya since today and has been misbehaving under my nose, knowing fully well that we agreed not to let her know she was our mate.

"You fool, she's having doubts already. It wasn't me. It was all you." Flame defended himself, refusing to take the blame. Sometimes I wondered if this person was the Alpha of the pack. He was selfish and refused responsibilities sometimes. I could say he was a darker version of Shadow.

Puff!

"You know I can hear you, right?" Flame grunted, not in the

least bothered about the insults directed at him.

"Then shut up. I am not happy with you because you messed up. If she's having doubts, it's because you kept on nuzzling her neck."

Flame shrugged like it was a normal thing to do. "She smells amazing. She loved it."

He was enjoying teasing me, huh?

"Damn, Naya, you are getting good at keeping secrets." A soft whisper filled the air, and I opened my eyes.

She squirmed for the fifth time in a row, and I came to the conclusion that she wasn't sleeping. Then Kyle spoke up He must have noticed her movements too. Unlike me, he wasn't one to keep quiet about her disturbances

"Go to sleep, Naya; I can basically hear your thoughts." He mumbled under the influence of sleep. I grinned a little. She would never know that I was still awake because the events of today were haunting and made you sleepless. I was sure it made her feel that way Then why the f**k was Kyle comfortably sleeping? That brat... I was a brat too, considering his age. Urgh! What did she see during her sleep? Naya was getting smarter as she knew how to change questions. For some reason, she had skillfully manauvered the facts of what she saw during her sleep. I mentally face palmed. It was our fault because me and Kyle were asking the wrong questions. She was asking the right ones. Frankly, I was bothered; she stopped halfway through contacting the elders. She was hiding something, and I wanted to know what that was.

Even she said it. She was getting good at keeping secrets.

Now, her breathing steadied, and her body relaxed. It seemed like her powers had subsided for the time being because her hair returned to its vibrant red color. The combination of her hair color and blue eyes gave her a unique purple color. She may be doing all these things on purpose. I don't know anymore. She would never believe it, but I have always thought of her as beautiful.

The first day, she walked into our home with her mother, carrying those vibrant cropped hair and innocent blue eyes.

I wanted to do things for her. Kyle and I were in denial of our emotions, which resulted in placing bets and bullying her. She hasn't told me if she has forgiven me for all those painful months of bullying.

This evening, Kyle tried to kiss her, but she dodged perfectly. That little wolf practically ignored our raging boners. It made me sad, but I tried my best not to show it. I turned my eyes to where Kyle slept, only to see that he hadn't been sleeping. I was too distracted to notice he had been faking his breath like he was sleeping so that Naya would be convinced we were both sleeping, and it would also cause her to go to sleep.

"We are both acting like her mate and giving ourselves away." Kyle said. He knew what I was thinking, too.

"Our birthday is coming up. We may never be able to resist her charms.

"When she celebrates her eighteenth, it will be harder." Kyle completed it for me. We were both doomed.

"Should we tell her?" I suggested, worried to death.

"We bullied her, Zeke. We pasted her nude all over school and touched her inappropriately because she was an omega and was able to feel more. She is submissive, and you know how that made us."

"The only omega in school made her a target." Kyle was right. My brother was always right, even if he did crazy things sometimes. There were times he said the truth. This was one of them.

"The last time we talked about this, she said we also protected her and bullied her times without counting." I bit my lower lips. That was before the s*x. She may have said that to get me to f**k her. Omega's may look uncomplicated, but they were complicated little shits100.

"Protected her?" Kyle turned to face me. Naya was in our middle; her little mouth was open, and soft snores escaped them. Cute, I thought. There were so many questions that needed answers, but for now, our priority was her well-being. His eyes darted here and there, and it made me wonder if he heard us.

"Were you eavesdropping?" I asked knowingly.

Kyle sighed. "I didn't mean to."

I nodded. That little brat... "How many times have you eavesdropped on me?"

"The many times you eavesdrop on Brooke and me having s*x. You perverted son of a bitch.). Where did you learn skills like that?"

His words tingled my insides, and I laughed. My brother was a crazy s**t too. He was right again, and I instantly forgave him. "Naya said we protected her. I think her wolf cajoled her into believing that nonsense."

Kyle stopped me with a sniff. "I think she is right, though."

I sighed. "It may look that way, but it doesn't excuse our behavior."

"We are torturing ourselves because we cannot be ourselves around our mate or act on our desires." Kyle was sadder than I have ever seen him be. We were both torturing ourselves for her. There were so many things I wanted her to feel, so many things I wanted to say if I would just open myself to her or she would open herself tous.

"Your nightmares?" I was suddenly curious.

"Gone with Naya by my side. Why do you think I want to feel her close to me all the time? Do you think she wanted to ask us about our relationship? Shadow misbehaved today."

I grinned. Our wolves had minds of their own. We shouldn't tell them what to do because they are basically our animalistic sides. Their desires for Naya were times ten of our desires, and their way of thinking was too heavy sometimes. But it was their nature. . "I think I'll let the flame

off the hook. We are not supposed to tell them what to do because they have an apartment in our heads. They are part of us."

"Seriously?" Kyle was watching me curiously. "I don't know, but this alpha thing is messing with you." There was a playful glint in his eyes.

I was tempted to punch him, playfully, of course, because a fight would wake Naya up.

"We should start our investigation as soon as Naya is fully recovered," I said, determined to help her and solve our mystery. That was the least we could do for her. For torturing her all these months and still torturing her. We were hiding the truth from her, so this It was tearing me apart.

Kyle sat up in agreement. "Agreed, Zeke. Where should we start?"

"Let's make friends first. Many of them may think I am a dad. So, we will tell everyone I am the Alpha of my pack.

Then, after that, we will replace out everything about the different packs. During the meeting, make sure we aren't invisible; that way, we are creating awareness of who we are. Next, we monitor Baron Diego and what he wants with us. We'll need to be vigilant," I continued. "No eating and drinking stupidly. All we have to do here is be the best among the others. We mist regain our pack respect." Kyle was all in the bobbing of his head. Then he smirked wickedly. "Cool. Being the best is my thing. I have a talent for that." "Good." I patted his back softly. "Let's sleep."

Hours passed, and Kyle and Naya continued to sleep soundly while I took turns watchipg them. I gently climbed out of bed, proceeding to the window to check on the situatione The arrangement was simple, but not right. What was going on in the pack now? I wondered. Maybe the next time this meeting is held, we will be in our pack.

I would make sure of it.

Marley Storm

"What?" I asked the guarding team. "What do you mean they are guarding little children?"

The guard swallowed. He was the head of the warriors and has fought in so many wars. Storm had placed him in our head after much thought. It was simply because the wolf claimed he had mates to take care of. Seriously, I have been going too easy on him. How dare he tell me the Alpha asked them to guard children?

"The Alpha asked me to put my men at the children's cottage due to the recent attacks from the Blood Moon pack."

Ugh! I told Baron to leave the children alone. He was testing my patience now. "Tell them they are doing the wrong thing. I am in charge here. The guards will guard the manor, and that's final. When the Alpha gets back..."

"He will have their heads hanging on a spike and pit in front of the pack gate for all to see." Freya interrupted.

When did she enter? Damn all these f*****g elders. I thought I made the right decision by asking Zeke to keep them by our side. She was standing at the doorway with an amused smirk omher face. "What are you doing on the Alpha's seat?"

I waved my hands, dismissing the guard. He doesn't need to be here to hear Freya insult me like I was a pack child. "I am in charge now. The Alpha, as a child, went to do what children do."

Freya narrowed her eyes on me. Who knew what was running through that cunning mind of hers? What was she doing here anyway? She tightened her hands around the stupid rod she carried about. "What are you doing on the Alpha's seat?" I cleared my throat. "Doing his work, of course. What do you want me to do?" Zeke left me with all of this. How dare he go on an adventure trip with his brother? And I knew they took Naya along. If not, she would be here, making my day. s**t! Freya's smirk grew wider, and she sauntered closer, her piercing gaze locked on mine. "Oh, Marley Storm, always so eager to take charge. But remember, you're not Luna, not yet."

I gritted my teeth, barely holding back my frustration. I know I wasn't Luna!! It doesn't make me happy to hear her say it to my face. Does she know how hard 1 have tried to get to this position? I even signed my hand in dirt, joining hands with Baron Diego. Zeke would have to see me as his only option, not my daughter. I was more qualified for that position. The one thing I wouldn't do is give her the satisfaction that her words gave me. There was always a better reply to give back to Freya to make her as worked up as I was right now. "Zeke entrusted me with his responsibilities while he's away. It's my duty to protect the pack and make decisions in his absence." Yeah, I did this and will do it for now.

Freya nodded like she understood me, but I knew she was just playing along. She leaned closer to me as her venomous mouth opened in a condescending manner.

"Protecting the pack, huh? You've always been headstrong, Marley. But the pack needs a strong and wise Alpha, not a reckless young wolf." She sighed, sitting on the available chair opposite me. "He left the pack in your care. That's recklessness." Her white gown spread over the entire floor.

It was amazing when they transformed into their wolf; they managed to make minimal mess and still have a copy of this cloth somewhere to back up.

And we were back to square one again.

I could never measure up to an elder. I wasn't in formidable form, and I'll forever be reduced to fighting for the Luna position. The reason I killed Alpha Storm in the first place.

My ambition won't stop at Wolf Cove alone. I want it all.

Baron promised me that. I clenched my fists, struggling to maintain my composure. Freya was a formidable elder, and her words had a way of getting under my skin. I know whats best for our pack. Zeke trusts me, and so should you." I wasn't lying entirely. He trusted me because I made myself seem like sonteone he could trust. Not Kyle, though.

That boy knew more than he let on. Distracting people with his nonchalant attitude was his specialty. But he was, in fact, dangerous. I should keep him in check.

Freya's expression softened slightly, and I wondered why.

"Zeke is a young wolf and needs guidance. We are here to guide him. If only he would put his ego down. Earn the pack's trust," she stood up, her rod raking the floor. "I am shocked that during his first few weeks as Alpha, he went on a trip. Are you sure it was a trip?" Her orangey eyes were focused on me now. They were cold and piercing, and I could feel her power creeping behind me. Just how powerful was this woman? Well, she wouldn't last long because Baron Diego has something cooking for our vision to happen.

Her words struck a chord within me. I had been so focused on proving myself that I hadn't considered the importance of earning the pack's trust. I nodded slowly, realizing that Freya might have a point. I needed to earn the pack's trust now that Zeke was not here. If I acted like I cared for the pack, they would accept me. I gave her a slow nod to show that she wasn't in charge of me.

She averted her gaze to the door without making a comment about my nod. Suddenly, she turned back to me.

"I don't want to see you on that chair again. It's not yours." With that, she walked out. As much as Freya's presence grated on my nerves, I knew she was right. It was time for me to step up and earn the pack's trust.

Make them see me as Luna before Zeke's mate does.

They were all pawns in my game.
