Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 99

"You are jealous. I just know it." Zeke muttered under his breath before going about to change into his clothes. Then his face contoured, like he just remembered something. "Common, you heard what the woman said, you need to take your bath." He quickly shooed me into the bathroom.

Here I was thinking I was going to eat breakfast. "No breakfast?"

I gasped as Kyle threw the food into the dust bin. "The Alpha said no. A while ago, you were afraid of eating poisoned food."

I sighed, swallowing the aroma I perceived this morning.

"What can I say? I wish I had the power to nullify poison. I didn't eat last night." Yesterday night was better to hold the hunger in because I was busy trying to go back into my body. "You'll be alright." Zeke's reply was swift. Although I could hear his voice, tinged with worry, and Kyle's low, reassuring tone,

"We will grab something later." Kyle proceeded to pat my tummy. How do they manage to make me flustered all the f****g time?

In order to escape their smoldering gaze, I disappeared into the kitchen. They were purposely trying to send me out of the kitchen for some reason I do not know of. Although I closed the door, I pressed my ears to hear what they were going to say when I wasn't there

For conviction, 1 turned on the shower. Then I closed my eyes, feeling my body reverberate. On a normal day, if the shower was on and I was eavesdropping, I wouldn't be able to hear them properly. Thai was different. I could hear what went on in the room. Kyle was shuffling and grumbling about how he was famished, and Zeke was shushing him.

"Naya, a third presence will come soon. Soon we will be having your elder blood speak. Can you differentiate us?" My wolf was sad now. She hasn't been talking for a long time, and I fear she is no longer the chatterbox that I was used to.

"Is something wrong?" I decided to give the boys another second to express their thoughts now that I wasn't there. I stretched my scrawny hands to increase the shower and also to yeast my abilities. I heard perfectly fine.

"I feel you'd have to share just to please.." Naya was cut short by Kyle's next words. I wanted to tell her that would never happen, but I knew it would happen eventually.

Jeez, did she have to put it that way? Although she was correct through and through, this was a power that has been residing in me dormantly, yet it has influenced my character. I was sure it made me sassier than I was along the way. All elders tend to have such silly attitudes. Even the elder one had it too. Frankly, I am so fascinated by my power that when it fully showcases itself, I will be excited.

I will never forget Naya. She was my wolf. I was Naya, and she was me. Even if another presence was in me, she would have to adjust to Naya being there. After all, he has been silent all these years, choosing to show up now and nearly ruining things for me. "Rest assured, Naya, you are

going nowhere." I wanted to say it again. That must be the reason why she bit me, since she couldn't bite the elder one. All that jealousy won't be for nothing.

"We have to keep it together, Zeke, Kyle was saying. "We can't let Naya replace out about this."

My heart beat increased in tempo as I pressed my ear to the door to hear more and make out the rest of their conversation. It was clear that something was going on- something they were both keeping from me. Not just the fact that they were my friends. I wondered if I should confront them, but a part of me felt that it might be better to wait and gather more information, which was why I got up to answer the door when I wasn't supposed to.

No, scratch that; I was nervous. Deathly nervous.

"That we snuck the dress in?" Zeke asked in amusement. I asked Renee to purchase this for a purpose. I was even shocked that the order was delivered even at night." I cringed at the loud shuffling. I guess he was tearing the bag open. "Never at our pack." "Do you think it's something we may have to invent? Id love a late snack delivered... We have everything." He snickered. We could even go to the pack store to get whatever we want. Order a person or two to do that."

I felt the need to shake my head at their words. I thought they were saying something important. "Silly Alphas. They bought a dress for me." I couldn't stop myself from smiling brightly

Naya twirled happily.

"We will get to wear a dress once in our lifetime. I am so happy. It should be all the time." I agreed with her. They should be able to buy me dresses all the time. I was okay with it until they said the word and rejected me.

"I highly doubt that. Now bathe so we can try out the new dress." Naya scolded like she was my mom. Sometimes she was like that to me. I would never abandon her like my mother did.

I removed my clothes, stepping under the shower and sighing as the water splattered all over my back, calming my nerves for what's coming next.

Kyle Storm

"...Order a person or two to do that." I finished proudly.

"What if they were with their mates? Would you call them out to get a dress for you? This is different. We need to learn from this if we want to be better." Zeke said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

I shook my head. "We shouldn't have to change our ways.

We are doing fine." I take back what I said earlier about inventing home delivery. It was a bad idea, but I loved our packs old ways and traditions. It wasn't going to change US.

"Of course we are doing fine, and I am not changing a

*****g thing about our pack traditions. Zeke leaned closer.

"Home delivery should only be added to our packages. We could emulate some good ideas from here and create more job opportunities for our pack members. Not only that, we could take over if we wanted to with these perks. I can assure you that a lot of people want to be a part of our pack but replace it impossible. This is a way to bring all of us together. Give them these benefits; make lives easier."

I licked my dry lips. "I understand you. How did Renee get into our pack if it was that easy? How did all these people..."

Zeke gave me a knowing look. "That's why we are here. To replace out how and why, replace the mole and sever the link. We are here to kill, steal, and destroy. What do you say?"

It all made sense, and I was onboard right from the start. It meant Renee had a connection to the pack. It wasn't just the scentless spray that made her invincible. She was overlooked by the territory patrol team. The same team harbors Beta. I snapped my head at Zeke. "What about the beta?"

Zeke nodded, seemingly thinking about the same thing.

"We need to send a message to the patrol team. The beta needs to come home."

It would also ruin our plans. "What about the consequences of our actions? We agreed not to bring him back yet until our problems were solved for a while."

Zeke rubbed his face, and I could see he was getting tired.

That was the job of an alpha. We were both Alphas, but it was his call for now. "The only person I can trust with this is Marley."

"Marley?" I asked, shocked at why he thought of her instead of someone else. That woman was suspicious as hell. Who knew what she could do with this information?

Zeke gave me a 'drop it' look. Fine. I take it as a test for her.

If anything goes wrong, it will only help me to confirm that she's the mole. If Zeke trusted her, I wouldn't stop him until I had sufficient evidence. He continued. "I'll ask Naya to contact Elder Rosalie later. She's another person I can trust for Beta's safety. We will need to be quiet about this. Once word about the beta spread, his enemies would come after us, and we are yet to know why our father sent him on a death journey."

Zeke was becoming more mature than I was. I was about to agree again when he switched to the next topic. "About the mate thing. We do not know how Naya would react to both of us being her mates, so let's take it one after the other, huh? I'll go first."

There he goes again. I frowned at his statement but refused to say a word. He was trying to see if he had a better chance at her, forgetting that the mating board doesn't discriminate. The love will surely be shared equally at some point in time. "Okay, brother. She admires you a tad bit more than me." I refused to let the disappointment show in my voice, even though it was through. I saw it in her eyes every day. She appreciated Zeke because he's an alpha, and I was just a lazy bone tagging along. I was second to him.
