Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy True Father
My mother's facial expression changed so much within a few seconds until she slowly stepped backward and looked away."I– I don't know who you're –" She was about to do it again. She was about to feed me with more lies.But I'd be damned before I let her do that."Enough, Mom!" I snapped, causing her to jolt in surprise. "Enough of the lies. Just come clean to me or I'll never forgive you."She gasped, blinking at me like a confused puppy. But I could see through the act. Her lips were quivering nervously and so were her hands. Eventually, she sighed, trying to hold me but I shifted away again.She withdrew her hands with a wry smile and looked down in shame. "After all these years... I never knew you'd ever see him. I never expected he'd come back for revenge."With each word she said, the frown on my face deepend but I waited for her to continue. And she did just that. "Marcel... Marcel is your father, Nimue. Your true father. Not my late husband and certainly not Alpha Viktor."
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Doing His Duty
Jin stood there in front of the entrance to the room, looking all cool as smoke filled the place, making his presence seem eerie.He wore a dashing black suit and a pair of sunglasses, looking like one of Alpha Viktor's guards.My mother, who'd been standing behind me, suddenly stepped forward, and I watched as a smile appeared on her face."Mr Kisaragi. Oh, thank goodness you're here." She clasped her hands together, glancing from me to him repeatedly.I sighed silently to myself, trying to hide the blush on my face.Meanwhile, Jin stepped forward, taking off his glasses and scrutinizing me closely."Did any of these guards hurt you?" He asked in a calm voice that still managed to sound icy, placing both his hands into his trouser pockets. I gulped, stretching my head to take a look at the guards lying behind him, all unconscious. It never ceased to surprise me how Jin managed to always get me out of situations like this so easily. From that one time, he beat up Brock and his frie
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Somewhere Safe… Or Not
"So, what's the plan? How do we get out of here?" I asked Jin, putting an end to whatever conversation my Mom wanted to have with him.He gave me a slight smirk, patting me on the shoulder. "We'll come back and burst Kieran out of here, right after we've gotten out of this mansion and headed somewhere safe."My heart dropped at the thought of leaving Kieran behind, even shortly. But Jin didn't seem to care and was about to walk out of the room when I grabbed his elbow and pulled him back. He glanced at my hand around his elbow before raising his gaze to my eyes.As much as I felt like melting away under the scrutiny of those golden eyes of his, I steeled my gaze and spoke up. "We... We can't leave Kieran behind. Why don't we just break him out now and–""Nimue." Jin suddenly called, his voice calm but loud. "As we speak, there are guards headed this way. And if they get to us, we'll be overwhelmed and they'll put stricter means of imprisonment on us." My heart thumped against my che
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Something’s Off
Startled by the voice, I jolted forward and looked back only to see this lean-built guy with pale skin and dark red eyes standing behind me with a huge grin on his face.He had his black hair styled in a mohawk and wore a handless black jacket to match, making him look like your stereotypical biker gang member or something.But something was off about him. This guy's a..."Nimue, meet Loki. My vampire associate and contact in the southern district." Jin pointed at the man, his face expressionless as he let out a sigh.I glanced at Jin briefly before I turned my gaze back to the vampire, who still stood there with a creepy grin, tilting his head as he scrutinized me.Anyway, Jin continued with the introductions. "Loki, meet Nimue. My mate." My eyes widened as soon as I heard those words. Jin had always insisted we hid the fact that we're mates from people and now he was freely blurting that fact to this guy?Meanwhile, the vampire, Loki, frowned as if what Jin said was the most absur
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy The Highest Bidder
The penthouse was a few blocks away from Loki's garage, so Jin and I only had to walk there.It was well-furnished and had a decent balcony view of the city.I stood on the balcony, holding the rails as my gaze swept across the city. From the people who seemed like ants on the ground, to the several connections of roads around the city.Drawing in a deep breath, I turned back to face Jin who was still in the penthouse, heading for a bar at the corner."When and how are we going to save Kieran?" I asked plainly, walking toward him with my arms folded in front of my chest.Jin poured himself a drink in a glass, taking a sip and offering it to me, but the expressionless look on my face was enough to let him know I wasn't interested.I'd never seen him drink before and the sudden change was off.Just then, my Umbra wolf finally spoke up several minutes after Luna did. "He's probably stressed from trying to save your ass. Cut him some slack."As much as I was glad he was back, I ignored hi
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Jin Took Her
Kieran ~~My brows furrowed into a frown as I watched a girl who I thought I would never have to see again walk into the room I was chained in.Yep... It was none other than Lucille, who had a complicated look on her face as she scrutinized me.My blood boiled just from staring at her, so I queried. "I'll ask you again. What the fuck are you doing here?" She wore a red long-sleeve blouse and black jean trousers, her hair made into a ponytail that flowed in front of her chest.Anyway, she folded her arms in front of her chest, pursing her lips. "How can you still be so violent with me? Nimue is gone, Kieran. And from what I hear, it's going to be for her own good so why can't you just reject her and be with me?"The mere thought irritated me. I would've put this bitch in her place if it weren't for the chains that bound me to the walls.Defiantly, I blurted. "Nimue isn't going anywhere. Not while I'm alive. And just so you know, I'm never going to stoop so low to let you back into my
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy For Her Own Good
After giving the guard the order and sending him away, Delta Lukas turned his gaze to me, a smile on his face. "Where were we? Oh, right. I was informing you of how stupid it would be if you took this girl's life. The Alpha council will just cover up her death while your punishment will only increase."I gritted my teeth but still left my legs wrapped around Lucille's neck. I needed to think fast. Eager to get more clarity, I asked. "What plans were you talking about? What does Jin breaking Nimue out of here have to do with anything?" Delta Lukas sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Dear moon goddess! Now I know why your father complains about you so much." He clicked his tongue, fixing his gaze back on me. "If you hadn't been an idiot and followed orders, you would've known about the 'plan' by now. But instead, you chose to let your emotions guide your actions and look where that has gotten you."My fists clenched subconsciously as I heard those words. I soon began putting the pieces
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy House Arrest
I began drumming my fingers on the table, my mind dissociating from the Alpha Council meeting as I began to worry.I needed to get out of here. Jin and Nimue were still out there and apart from the threat of Jin, there was still the threat of this rogue werewolf.When it sounded like Gamma Thane was done with his report, my father finally spoke up. "Increase the security details around the northern district and its borders. We can't be sure yet but there's a chance this rogue werewolf means war for our pack."War? All to get Nimue in his grasp? Was the rogue werewolf in question really that desperate?"Okay, if that's all from you Gamma, does anyone else have anything to say?" My father asked, scanning the faces of everyone present including mine. His gaze remained on my face for an uncomfortably long second before he turned it to someone else.When it seemed like no one was about to speak, I raised my hand. "Actually, I have something to say." I cleared my throat steeling my gaze on

Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy EPILOGUE
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
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Never Get Used to it
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
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Mark of Betrayal
"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
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Preparations
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
Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy Play With The Tiger
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
