I kept my guard up but pretended to be interested in whatever Jin had to say.

At that moment, I couldn't help worrying about Kieran. What if Jin had colluded with Alpha Viktor to do something awful to him to ensure he was unable to save me?

"Are you ready to apologize for almost killing me back there?" He suddenly asked, bringing me out of my thoughts and pointing at the room which was now wide open thanks to the broken door.

I glanced at the room, before turning my gaze to him. "Oh, please! I only kicked you in the groin. You'll live."

Jin pursed his lips but nodded his head soon after.

"Fine. I'll pardon you on that." He muttered absentmindedly before stretching out his hand to me. "Truce?"

I glanced at his outstretched hand with disgust and didn't dare step forward to shake him.

Instead, I asked him a question that I needed an answer to right now. "What do you plan to do with me?"

Jin chuckled amusingly, placing both his hands on his chest. "Seriously? Don't be like that, Nimue,

    I blinked with a mix of surprise, fear, and excitement, my gaze traveling from my hands to the now broken glass railing of the balcony.This was a penthouse and Jin had taken a fall to the bottom. Meaning, he could be..."By the moon, Umbra, what was that?" Luna finally asked mentally, snapping me out of my trance. My Umbra wolf remained solemnly silent for a while but muttered eventually. "I don't know, but we have to get out of here. Human police might arrive soon."My ears perked up and sure enough, I heard the sound of police sirens from a distance. They still sounded far away, but I wasn't willing to take any chances. "Do you think... Do you think Jin survived that?" Luna asked hesitantly as I waltzed into the living room and picked up my sneakers. I put them on quickly after which I tied up my hair into a ponytail."We don't have time to bother ourselves with that. Let's just–" My words died in my throat when I heard a phone ring. I jumped in fright at first but sighed when

    Out of curiosity, Kieran and I scaled the gate and landed on the compound to get a closer look at the action.The air was filled with the smell of smoke and ash from Theodora's spells, as the area around her reverberated with vibrations. “Isn't that your Dad?" I pointed at a huge gray wolf that walked out of the mansion. He almost rivaled my Umbra wolf in size and released menacing growls as he glared at my father. My father growled in retaliation, not showing any signs of backing down. I remembered clearly that Alpha Viktor had been the one to knock me out in his wolf form during my last escape attempt before Jin 'rescued' me. But I hadn't seen his wolf form before I passed out, so it was surreal seeing him in action with it right now. Meanwhile, Kieran glanced at me briefly before responding solemnly. "Yep. The one and only." I was also overwhelmed with a somber feeling as I watched the scene unfold. Alpha Viktor ended up shifting into his human form, his face wrinkling with

    Standing behind us was none other than Jin, a crazed look in his eyes as he glared at Kieran and me. He looked like he'd been through hell, his black hair disheveled and his clothes torn in some spots. I didn't know how he managed to survive that fall from the penthouse, but it was obvious it left a mark."How dare you?" He pointed a trembling finger at Kieran, his tone dripping venom. "How dare you lay claim on my mate? On my property?"Something snapped in me once again at the word "property". As much as I wanted to say I couldn't believe Jin could say such a thing, I could and do. Meanwhile, Kieran scoffed, his tone mocking as he spoke. "So it's finally come to this? You, rambling like a madman simply because you fucked up for once? How does it feel to lose, Jin? How does it feel to be the one at the losing end of things for once?"Each word Kieran uttered seemed to bring out a reaction from Jin. His body trembled with unbridled rage, and his golden eyes seemed to redden at tha

    A WEEK LATER"Wow... Girl, you've been through hell." Nadia muttered from the other end of the phone, looking speechless. I'd just given her an explanation of everything that happened since the last time we saw each other, which was on the day I got kidnapped by witches almost a month ago. After escaping the city, Kieran and I managed to settle and stay hidden in another city on the other side of the country. Since then, we've been trying to stay updated on happenings back in the pack, and I'd managed to get a phone and gain access to Nadia's social media, from which I was able to get her number. We were currently talking on Facetime, and it was a Friday morning, so Nadia had school to go to. The scenery behind her was the school halls of Pureblood College, which was already getting rowdy with students of different castes, as it seemed.Anyway, I leaned on top of the kitchen counter of the apartment Kieran and I had rented, sighing at Nadia's words. "Yup. Worst of all, I haven't

My hands finally touched a banana which I threw at him, but he dodged it while laughing at my expense."Oh, come on. Did I interrupt your little... Whatever it is you were doing?" He teased, walking away from the kitchen entrance and toward me.I diverted my gaze away from him, too embarrassed to even look him in the eyes. "How much of what I said did you hear?"He finally got to the opposite side of the counter, placing his arms on it and resting his head on his palms. "Hmm... Well, I did hear the part where you said you feel like you can't live without me. So, I think I heard enough." I sighed, rubbing my forehead with my fingers while he kept on laughing again.However, he soon stretched his hands across the counter and held mine, forcing me to look him in the eyes. "Oh, don't be embarrassed about talking with your wolves. I do that all the time

    (Warning: Mature Content Ahead)As soon as I took off his belt, I went further to pull down his pants, while we kept on kissing. But he soon brought his lips away from mine and began assaulting my body with kisses, starting from my neck to my chest. When his lips came to my chest, he glanced at my face briefly before turning me around so I'd be the one facing the counter with my back.A soft grunt left my lips as Kieran took off my shirt, leaving my breasts exposed since I hadn't put on a bra. My generous melons bounced as they were finally released, causing Kieran to lick his lips and whistle."My, oh my." He muttered, caressing my breasts like they were sculptures worth inspecting. "They look so juicy, I can almost eat them up."A sly grin played on my lips, my hands going to his chest and then slowly trailing his body until they got to his hardened dick which was now exposed to my view. I brought my lips close to his ears, my smile only widening when I felt his body shiver from m

    Kieran didn't pull out but left his dick inside me, pulsing and filling me with an unexplainable pleasure that made me dizzy.I was lying down freely on the counter but yet I felt like I was floating into the heavens. Would it be blasphemous to compare this feeling to the heavens?Well, if it was, then call me a sinner because I'll be willing to experience this thrill for eternity.Suddenly, Kieran grabbed my legs and raised them, giving him a better view of my body as he slowly pulled out. The tingling sensation from the action down there made me vibrate, my lips curling up with delight. I brought my hands to his back, dangerously close to his ass crack. He kept his gaze on my eyes, his temperament intense until he plunged into me again. "Gosh, you're as tight as ever." He moaned out, kissing my toes and adding to the sensations that threatened to overwhelm my body and mind. I subconsciously used my fingers to trace lines on his back, pushing his back gently so he could go deeper

    "So, what really brought you running home when you're supposed to be at work?" I asked curiously, patting his face lightly as I stepped down from the counter. I was sweaty and needed a bath after our little... "Exercise", not to mention we'd done it all on the kitchen counter. "Y'all are messy." Umbra scoffed mentally. Luna was quick to rub it in his face. "You're just jealous 'cause you know you're never getting any good dick now that Jin is gone.""Screw you, Luna!" Umbra snarled. "Pfft... Please! I doubt you could since you enjoy taking it up–" Before Luna could complete her brutal sentence, Kieran responded to my question with a soft chuckle."What? You don't believe I only came here to see you?" He asked, walking up to me in his gorgeously naked body. He proceeded to wrap his arms around my waist, planting a kiss on my forehead. "My little heart is hurt by that assumption."I rolled my eyes, trying hard to remain focused when his now flaccid dick was literally poking my stoma

    A MONTH LATER.."Ugh, at this point I'm beginning to think the object for breaking the curse is back at RavenWood." I groaned while playing around with my cup of coffee.Sitting across at the other side of the table was Kieran, who wore a black hat that kept his face hidden.He also had a steamy cup of coffee in his hands, merely giving me a nod as he gazed around our surroundings warily. We were back in the city where his pack was located, specifically at an open cafe close to Pure Blood College. Unlike what one might think, we weren't here to make any inquiries about school or anything like that. Nope, we were here to meet up with some old ‘friends’, but the catch was that Kieran and I had to keep ourselves hidden. There was still a chance that the Alpha Council would be after us even though they hadn't made a move since we first escaped the city more than a month ago. Anyway, I stared at Kieran for a while before I rolled my eyes. "Can you relax? I doubt your Dad or those ol

  • Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy   Hope For a Cure

    Sadly, I was still in my male form, unlike what I'd originally expected. As heartwarming as it was that Kieran was able to hold me close even in my male form, my eyes stung with hot tears. I'm so stupid! Why had I been half expecting the ritual from the witches to somehow rid me of the curse? They clearly stated that the ritual was only meant to gauge the inner workings of the curse so they could come up with a possible solution for removing the curse without stripping me of my Umbra wolf. "I'm still a man, Kieran." I sobbed, clutching his arms tightly for support. Meanwhile, my father walked up to me, placing a hand on my shoulder briefly. But he didn't linger for long and proceeded to meet with the witches. Just then, Kieran snapped at Theodora. "I thought you said this ritual wasn't going to hurt her? Why, then, was she in pain during the process? What voodoo did you use on her?!"Somehow, hearing Kieran defending me so vehemently against the witches felt comforting, but I w

  • Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy   Consulting The Witches

    After a few minute's drive in Marcel's car, we arrived at an isolated part of the city, which seemed eerily darker than other parts. We stepped down from the car, my father slamming the driver's seat door behind him before he explained. "Most human cities have a certain amount of supernaturals among their populace. This city, in particular, has numerous vampires and witches but only a few small werewolf packs."My eyes shone in surprise as I turned my gaze to my father. I was once again shocked and impressed by the amount of information he could get at a whim. Anyway, Kieran placed himself beside me, grabbing my left hand which was already getting sweaty. He glanced at me, giving me a reassuring smile as if he could feel my anxiety through our mate bond. "I'm with you every step of the way, okay?" He reminded me, caressing my hand affectionately. My heart melted at how much affection he was showing me even though I was currently in my male form. I knew how weird it was for him an

    Nimue~~Long story short, the dinner wasn't... Exactly awful. But dearie me, it sure was dramatic.There was an awful knot in my stomach that still lingered after Marcel revealed the scar on his eye as an aftermath of my mother's betrayal of him. We didn't even have dinner long before he brought up the plan of meeting up with Theodora and her coven. Sigh... So much for a 'perfect dinner'."This dinner was bound to fail, Nimue," Umbra muttered encouragingly in my mind. "I don't even know why Marcel suggested it. He probably just wanted you to see your mother before going to the witches."Currently, Kieran and my father had taken my Mom to the airport to send her back to Alpha Viktor's territory, leaving me all alone in the house. I felt bad for her, but she knew what she was getting into when she decided to marry that man. I just hoped the Alpha council or the Alpha himself didn't do anything to hurt Mom. If not... I wouldn't mind sticking my claws into his throat.Meanwhile, Luna

  • Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy   Promise to Protect Her

    I subconsciously glanced at Nimue, noticing the sympathy flashing through her eyes. Sympathy for her father. Everyone had tagged him as a 'crazy rogue' bent on hunting her for years, but he had depth. He had a story and his reasons. And for some reason, I felt bad for him too. Maybe because he still made an effort in trying to protect his daughter. Unlike another 'father,' I knew. Meanwhile, Marcel placed the eye patch back on the ghastly scar, drawing in a deep breath as he stared at nothing in particular. Even Ulmer was dead silent now, looking down at her legs in shame. "Well, this dinner just got awkward fast." Scratch muttered in my head, but I didn't even have the mental strength to hush him as I subconsciously held Nimue's hand from underneath the table, trying to reassure her. She shot me a weak smile before turning her gaze to her mother who still had her head lowered. "Well? Don't you have anything to say, Mom?" She asked with arched eyebrows. Ulmer's lips parted in

    "For the last time, I think it looks perfect." I groaned dramatically when Nimue asked me what I thought about the house for the umpteenth time. I was already beginning to regret agreeing to let her and her parents use this house as their venue for a 'family get-together.’It was obvious Ulmer and Marcel were still bitter with each other and I had my bets on everything ending in an argument or worse. Meanwhile, Nimue, who was dressed in a lovely red dress with white floral prints, swerved her head to me while she placed the finishing touches to the dinner table. "Well, sorry if I'm feeling nervous about my parents seeing each other in the same house." She uttered sarcastically before adding. "Are you sure you gave them the right address? It's already five PM."It had been two days since we agreed to see Marcel and Ulmer. Luckily, it was the weekend so I didn't have work today. I felt it necessary to be present since I still didn't trust Marcel. Anyway, I responded to Nimue's ques

    The persistent ringing of my phone caused me to place a pause on my makeout session with Nimue. However, when I brought out my phone and saw the same unknown number that Marcel had used to call me earlier, my mood changed drastically."It's your father... Again." I muttered to Nimue's hearing. Her face darkened instantly as she glanced warily at my phone before turning her gaze to me. "Well? Are you going to answer it or not?"I rolled my eyes discreetly before I picked up the call. "Hello?""Ah, Kieran. I just want to inform you that I've made contact with Ulmer and she's agreed to see me and my daughter." Marcel's deep baritone voice sounded from the other end cheerily. I still found it hard to believe that this was the same man who was involved in kidnapping his own daughter who he hadn't met since she was born. Meanwhile, Nimue's mouth opened in a stunned "O" at her father's words and I had a feeling I knew why. It was probably because her parents, who had a bitter past, were i

    As soon as Marcel dropped the call, I had no choice but to rush to my office and ask to leave my post to go attend to my girlfriend, lying that she was 'sick and alone.'I mean, the alone part was real, but there was only one ‘sickness’ afflicting Nimue and that was her Dual wolf curse.And now there seemed to be hope for removing the curse's side effects. However, when I got home, Nimue and I ended up having sex for the first time in a while. On the kitchen counter, too. We were so unhinged, but it was so damn worth it. I hadn't realized how much pent-up sexual frustration I had until I got a taste of Nimue's glorious body.Anyway, I proceeded to drop the bomb of Marcel's call when we were done, but she didn't take it lightly at first. But then I decided to add the most crucial part of the conversation after telling her about his wish to see both her and her mother."He thinks he might be able to get the witches he works with to find a cure for your curse without stripping you of

  • Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy   Compromise

    Kieran ~~ The day when Nimue and I finally escaped my father's mansion was nothing short of epic. The best part was when I finally put Jin in his place and used his diabolical wolf-repellant drug on him. I chuckled to myself each time I remembered the look on his face when he realized he was wolfless. That should be a worse punishment than death for any werewolf. And it served him right... He'd think twice before shoving his face into me and Nimue's life again. Gosh, I couldn't believe that two-faced snake dared to bargain with my father over NIMUE. Over MY mate. Anyway, escaping the city was the easy part, but settling into a new city on the other side of the country was harder than I thought. I picked this location because I wanted to be as far away from my father and all the annoying pack politics as much as possible. Also, I had a new job opportunity to chase after that would enable me to sustain my living with Nimue. "I would've never imagined ‘Kieran the ma
