Ensnared by my Possessive Stepbrother. 036.
RAYLA After dinner, I excused myself by letting Madam Nora escort me back to my room. My mind was still filled up with so many thoughts and I had no idea how I was going to return to my normal life after all of this. I murmured a thank you to Nora before closing the door and going in, and just as I sat down on the bed, my phone rang. I took a deep breath, composing my racing heart. I guess I’ll never get used to keeping things from Mom. I feel so guilty and terrible because that wasn’t the way she raised me. ‘’Hi.’’ I felt relieved when my voice didn’t come out as panicky as I felt. ‘’Hi?’’ She teased a smile in her voice. ‘’I’m calling to check in, could you give the phone to Jenna please? I haven’t been away from her this long and I miss her so much.’’ She cooed. If I wasn’t already panicking before then I was about to have a complete meltdown. ‘’Jenna?’’ I repeated casually. ‘’She went to bed early but I’ll make sure you talk to her before she leaves for school tomorrow.’’ I to

RAYLA Removing Fiona's jacket from my neck, I turned to look at him, bracing myself for whatever he wanted to say this time around. I glanced at the wall clock in the class-room, relieved to see he didn't have much time with me as classes will be starting soon. He took a deep breath, and what ended up coming out of his mouth had me blinking with surprise. "I'm no longer interested, I should never have let Damien trick me. You know, I never meant to reject you right?" I stared at him, wondering if this was the Brandon I knew or if someone had replaced him with a clone. All he’s been doing these past few days was throwing glares at me, and now, all of a sudden he regrets rejecting me in front of the whole school? "Is this supposed to make me happy? That you never meant to reject me but somehow you did? No thank you." I turned to leave but he held my shoulders, pushing me back. I flinched, stepping out of his hold not just because his hands on my skin burned but also cause I didn't

RAYLA The first thing I did when I arrived home was attend to my injuries. I dropped my backpack on my bed and went into the bathroom to get the first aid box I always kept there. The one I usually carried with me had been previously used on Damien and I forgot to restock. After I was done cleaning my wounds, I made my way into the living room with my phone in hands, ready to call Mom so she could talk to Jenna. I stopped abruptly by the number of guards in the living room, they weren't usually that many in the family quarter and the reason I didn't know if anything was happening was the fact that I came through the back door. Securities are usually tight at the other side which I perceived as normal until now. Something was definitely wrong! Ma turned to look at me as I approached, due to being dismissed from school early I had forgotten Jenna wouldn't be home for another hour or so. With my heart racing and ready to leap out of my chest, I hurried to her side. "Ma, what ha

RAYLA "Take a walk with me." He had said so casually even though a walk turned into a drive. The minute we drove out of Shadow-moon pack, I could already guess where we were headed and it was the last place I wanted to be in the midst of what was going on. "I wished you'd at least listened to me and waited," I murmured, looking out of the door. Funny how I was mad earlier about him leaving hickeys on my neck. I wanted to confront him about that. Something that might later result in a playful moment because it wasn't that serious but now I was confronted with a different reality. If he heard me, he made no indication as he didn't provide my words with a reply. We arrived at his pack because I kept forgetting what he called it, I just knew it had Ray in it.Helped me out of the car, putting his hand behind my back but Instead of leading inside like I was expecting, it took a different route, beside the pack house. We only walked for a few minutes before coming across the dungeon. O

RAYLA The sun was setting, it had been several hours and we still couldn't get through to our parents. Damien on the other hand was insisting I stay while he goes back to Shadow-moon pack but I immediately refused, staying here, knowing somehow I had a hand in Beta Killion getting abducted was suffocating the hell out of me! "Just drop me off at Kath's house instead, I already texted to tell her I'll be staying over," I told him even though what I really wanted was to go back home and stay with Ma. I hated the idea of knowing she was there worried sick with no emotional support. But then, staying with her and seeing how worried she is will only trigger my guilt and make me feel worse than I already do. He touched my temple. "We still haven't talked about this, I hate when you shut me out." "When do you plan on killing him?" I swallowed, referring to Beta Killion. Instead of giving me a straight answer, he shrugged his shoulders. Something told me he wanted to torture him a littl

RAYLA "They are okay," Damien announced as he looked up from his phone. "I just got a message from Dad, he said the cell services there are bad but they are okay." To further assure her, he gave his phone to Ma so she could take a look at it herself. "Did he mention when they will be coming back?" I inquired, relieved to hear that they were doing okay. Ma gave the phone back to Damien. "I will be leaving now." She announced walking away. "Don't go yet!" Jenna cried, running after her. I looked at Damien. "We can't leave Jenna with the servants, I'll stay and look after her." With that, I also walked away not waiting for his response. I helped Ma load her stuff into the car trunk before making my way to the passenger side of the door where she stood. Damien had instructed one of Alpha Jordan's drivers to take her back home. "I wished you would stay a little longer but I understand there's no one to look after your pets. However, you can call me for a pet sitting one of these day

RAYLA Instantly regretting why I looked at his phone in the first place, I pulled away, bringing mine to my face instead. His hand went around my neck pull me back before I could completely move away. He kissed me like he was punishing me for something and my refusal became a way to punish him too. Instead of breaking the kiss, he kissed me deeper, slamming my body to his and then causing me to gasp aloud when he bit my lower lip. He broke the kiss then, smiling innocently at me as I reached to touch my throbbing lip. I glared at him, then looking down at my phone when it vibrated with a text. I left his room then to meet my friends in the living room already waiting for me. I turned to Jenna as we walked away. "Damien has something for you..." That was everything I needed to say because she had excitedly leap out of the room before the words even left my mouth. Kath laughed at her reaction, pushing the door of my bedroom open. "So, It's just the three of you in the family quarte

RAYLA She's been hanging out with Brandon so why was I still surprised by her outburst? Maybe because I thought we were friends? We might not be that close but we were close enough for her to ask me about some stuff, if not all. I guess that making it obvious I didn't like her despite trying to conceal it doesn't really help my case then. Taking a deep breath, I flung my arms around Fiona and Kath, leading them back Into the house. "She's a witch, I'm very worried." Fiona remarked as we stepped into my room. "On the bright side, Damien accepted to work with me after I told him it's what you wanted. Girl! You have him wrapped around your fingers and I'm so jealous." She let out a groan, falling into my bed. "Trust me when I say, I don't have him wrapped around my finger." I responded, because if that was true then he would have let Killion go when I begged him to. After my earlier confrontation with Nyx, I couldn't fully enjoy our sleepover as her words kept echoing in

RAYLA I snatched my wrist from his grasp without struggle because he let me go. I looked down at my bleeding tutor hoping he’s not dead. People were out of class and staring at us with wide eyes, him most especially, I guess there goes the idea of me trying to protect him! I tried to rush to the tutor but Damien dragged me back then proceeded to take me outside of the building. “Stop!” I screamed once we were out of the parking lot. “You can’t threatened my Mom and think that’s okay! What if that man loses his life? He was just trying to protect me!” I hissed as anger stir up inside me. “Whatever beef you have is between us, you don’t have to drag other people in it.”“Are you fucking with me Rayla?” His expression turned murderous. “Well I guess this should be a consolation that your mother is still breathing right now because of you! When my Dad got married to her, I didn’t like her but did I try to get in the way of their shitty relationship? No… if she tries to get in between mi

RAYLA After Mom left, I turned to Ma, my gaze fixed on her accusingly. “You knew she was trying to get me back here, she went as far as blackmailing me and you let her?” I was disappointed, I thought she was on my side! Now the only family support I thought I had was slowly slipping away, I guess I deserve it for being such a shitty person. “You make it hard to defend you, both of you! The idea was for you to wait, I was going to talk to them but when I came later it was to find you gone. What were you thinking running off like that? Damien is the leader of a gang of rogues, do you have any idea the kind of danger you were putting yourself in?” She snapped at me, her tone filled with both anger and disappointment. “How was I supposed to defend you when you pulled a stunt like that?” “When has talking ever settled anything with them? You don’t get it do you? Ma, her blackmailing me here is proof enough that no amount of talking will achieve anything with them, it was why I chose to

RAYLA I stared at the alarm clock on the nightstand, wordlessly watching each second tickle by, my thoughts far away from me. The more minutes tickled by, the more aware of how many hours I had with Damien, who happens to be asleep. I swallowed the lump in my throat, blinking away from the alarm to look at the ceiling instead. I still felt a bit sore between my thighs, a constant reminder of what we did a few hours ago. My face heated at the memory, making me silently clear my throat as I stared out of the window, it was getting dark meaning it will be dawn soon. Slipping out of bed, I grabbed Damien’s shirt and slipped in on, looking down at the length to decide if it was okay for me to walk around in. Since I was heading downstairs where I’m bound to run into anyone, I decided to wear a skirt for added length before making my way downstairs. The place was almost empty except for a few servants going about their duties, I paused by the stairs landing. “Excuse me, do you have any

RAYLA Looking at him hurts, as we lay down side by side on the bed, so I turned my face the other way, Mom’s words echoing in my mind. Killian would be so furious when he finds out but what was I supposed to do? Finding out he killed someone at the age of seventeen had not only left me stunned but speechless because then it also proved he has been living this double life for as young as the age of seventeen. There was a pause in my thought when I felt him pull me against his chest, cuddling me softly as our limbs tangled with one another. My eyes shut on their own accord as he buried his face into the hollow of my neck, sniffing me in a way that made me tickled. One of his hands splayed across my stomach, running his fingers on my flesh lazily. I didn’t want to lie here with my own thoughts while guilt ate me alive so, I said the first thing that came to mind when I opened my mouth. “So…your first time huh?” I teased, turning to face him now, my breath hitching against my throat wh

RAYLA I stood outside the door, debating whether I should go inside or not. At the las minute, I decided it would be better to just leave him alone for the time being, I made my way back downstairs and still found Nyx in the same position I left her, except that she was sitting this time and munching on a cookie. “That was quick.” She remarked, not bothering to hide her amusement. I grit my teeth in anger,telling myself not to react because as much as I can’t stand her, I still needed her help to be able to get out of the pack due to the invisible force field she had around it. “You said the barrier will weaken tomorrow, is that correct?” I asked to be sure whether I’ll need her help with that or not. “Why? Going somewhere? Anyways the barrier won’t weaken until twelve in the morning.” She leaned closer. “You need my help.” She was quick to figure it out, possibly putting the piece together after my outburst earlier. “Isn’t that the reason you were employed? Although I don’t

RAYLA Despite our teasing remarks when we were out on a walk that indicates we couldn’t wait to get back to the house and ravished each other. Instead we decided to play monopoly once we arrived back at the house which took a dark turn pretty quickly, bringing out both Damien and Hunter's competitive side. When they voted for a second round of the game, I sweetly declined and took a step back, telling them I prefer to watch instead. Nyx had taken it upon herself to call me every synonym of the word coward, my usual response was to ignore her but Damien had merely cast her a dark look, that made her shut up immediately. While they argue and yell at each other about the game, I was texting my friends in the group chat as they brought me up to date on what has been happening at school. Apparently Brandon was still being as bitter as the day I left, he goes around telling anyone who cares to listen that I ran away with my step-brother because our parents found out about us. The fa

RAYLA I was surprised when I woke up the following morning and found Damien still sleeping, mainly because I wasn’t used to waking up in the morning and finding him there. The healer really knows her stuff because placing him on bed rest definitely forced him to relax. I slowly climbed out of bed so I didn't wake him up. Several minutes later when I emerged from the bathroom after brushing my teeth and doing my other business, he was still asleep. I went downstairs to have breakfast, Hunter was the only one present at the breakfast table when I walked in, I slumped down dejectedly on one of the empty seats. Words couldn’t describe how much I missed going to school, I missed hanging out with my friends and doing random stuff even though I never voiced it out to anyone, I mean what’s the point? Just because I made the decision to run away from home doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to miss it. I looked up upon hearing my name. “Did you say something?” I asked to be sure. “Yeah, I was as

RAYLA It was night time before Damien finally woke up and was immediately moved to his bedroom. His wound had completely healed up by then but the healer still insisted he need to be on bed rest for another three days to which Hunter had made a joke about. It was half true though because we all knew he was going to hate the idea. Guilt was already eating me alive after I finished talking to Mom and she gave me three days max, the same number of days it will take for Damien to be out of bed rest and for Nyx magic barrier to weaken.“You can’t tell Damien that I asked our parents for help.” I begged, pulling him aside so Damien wouldn’t hear us. “At least wait until I’m out of here before you do, if he knows then he will never let me leave and I can’t go back on my word.” Hunter stared at me with his arms across his chest. “What did you do? And besides, I can’t keep something like that from him, if I don’t tell him, someone else will.” He pointed out. I brushed my hair away from my

RAYLA It has been more than two hours of not hearing any news about Damien’s condition after the healer slammed the door on our face. We stood outside her room, pacing around and waiting for news when one of the border guards hurried inside toward Hunter, a panicked look across his face. “Beta! There are more troops approaching the pack from the north!” He declared and I watched as Hunter’s face darkened. “More army? That can’t be good, Damien is in no condition to fight!” I rubbed my face, hoping it would smooth away the frustration crawling at my guts and yet again I was made to wonder why Damien chose this time to announce his pack knowing how many enemies they had but then I recalled he had mentioned not too long ago that the pack was running out of supplies. “There’s no need to worry Rayla, stay here in case the healer has some news, I’ll lead our army.” He informed me before taking his leave. “Wait!” Nyx called after him and then hurried to meet him halfway across the room.
