Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy My Mistake
Kieran~~I couldn't be wrong, Nimue was down there in the basement. As annoying as it was, I could never miss her scent even from a mile away. Scratch growled with an intimate desire for our mate, but I hesitated. "What if she's hurt down there? Ask yourself, what could she possibly be doing in the basement of all places?" Scratch asked me with a desperate tone even as my hand lingered hesitantly on the door knob. 'Well, she's made it clear that I should leave her alone, so why don't I respect her wish?' I replied with a mental scoff. Just when I turned away from the door, I spotted Lucille walking out of the class where I'd left her. 'Shit, she's going to see me and want to hang around me or something.' I groaned silently to Scratch. However, he was quite calm and spoke with a relaxed tone. "Relax, dude. If you want to avoid Lucille, you know exactly what to do."My brows creased in confusion at first until I turned my gaze back to the basement door. Ugh, heck no. "Hey, now.

A few days passed since my encounter with Nimue in the school's basement. Ever since that day, I noticed how she put so much effort into avoiding me, both in school and at home. While this happened, I had to go through the torture of watching her and Jin from a distance. Yes, that's what I would call it. Torture!Imagine watching your mate— who's also your step-sister by the way— frolicking around with your worst enemy. Under the same roof, I called 'home' too. On one of these particular days, I witnessed something unnerving from my room upstairs. Jin driving Nimue back home had become the new normal. No one, not even Dad or the Alpha council seemed to care much about it again, even after they'd warned that they'd keep an eye on the two of them. Anyway, Jin's car drove into the compound after school, and I stood at my window, watching as he and Nimue got down like some top-class power couple. My hands clenched into fists, especially when I watched Jin getting disturbingly close

My gaze lingered on Ulmer for a little too long. It still irked me that this was the woman my father placed in my mother's place. She had tried so hard to fill those shoes, too. I remembered how she rarely wore dresses when she newly arrived here but ever since her marriage to my Dad, she'd been wearing luxury dresses even though she rarely ever went out of the mansion. Speaking of which, the way everyone referred to her as 'Luna' during the mating ceremony, completely forgetting about my mother's existence, made my blood boil to this day.Anyway, Ulmer spoke up with a smile. "May I come in?" I scoffed, not hiding my irritation in the slightest. "What do you want, Ulmer? If this is one of my father's tricks to get me to accept you into this family, into MY family... Then you can go tell him that I'll not be a pawn in his little game."Ulmer drew in a deep breath, seemingly hurt by my words. I low-key felt bad for her, oddly enough. But I didn't let that erase the fact that I detes

“I can't believe we forgot about mom." I groaned, rubbing my forehead the second Ulmer shut the door behind her. Scratch didn't seem too bothered. "You can't blame yourself. With all the unnecessary drama going on in our lives— because you're too much of a jerk to just accept our mate — it's natural that we'll forget other things."Forget my own mother? Nah, that was too much, even for me. I'd stopped my interrogations on Dad concerning her whereabouts because it had all proved fruitless. No matter how much I asked or how angry I seemed, his lips were always tightly sealed. "Did we ever follow that lead we got before Nimue's arrival?" I asked Scratch as I went to my desk and opened my laptop. Before Nimue and her mother came with all their drama, I'd gotten a lead from an anonymous person online about my mother's whereabouts. My mother had been gravely ill before she went missing. According to the pack's doctors, the complications didn't seem medical at all. No matter how much th

“What are you looking at?" Lucille's annoying voice echoed in my ears. I jolted a bit in surprise at first before snapping my head to look at her. "What is your problem? Seriously." I asked, my tone icier than I Intended. But it doesn't matter, it was Lucille after all. She wore a handless red dress and had her irritating green-tinted hair flowing to her waist. I watched as the smile she had on her excessively makeup stained face disappeared and was replaced with a scowl after hearing my words. However, she hid it again pretty quickly and blurted. "Jeez, sorry that I cared enough to check on you. It's just that you seemed kinda... Lost in thought. What's eating you up?" She asked at the end, the fake affection in her voice unmistakable. I scoffed, tearing my gaze away from her before muttering. "You."Anyway, I turned my gaze back to Jin's car but realized he wasn't in it anymore. Crap, he'd walked out during the time Lucille used to yap bullshit into my ears. I turned to her,

Nimue~~I blinked erratically, my eyes following Brock's movement. He still stood there, stunned as if he was trying to make sense of what he was seeing.And honestly, who could blame him?I took a glance at myself in a nearby mirror in the bathroom to get a view of myself. Gosh, Luna's wolf form was beautiful!She stood on all fours and was almost as tall as a human. She had white fur that flowed into the air like clouds. It was quite unfortunate that even though she— or rather we— looked so beautiful, a human could perceive that beauty as something monstrous. I struggled to speak but no words came out of my mouth. What came out instead was a hushed howl. "N– Nimue?" Brock stuttered, his voice breaking with disbelief. Desperate, I took a step forward but paused when he stepped back. His face was overridden with terror, his eyes darting around in confusion. 'Luna... Luna, are you there?' I called out to my Luna wolf. 'Get me out of here. If Brock goes out there he's going to tel

I hesitantly dialed Jin's number, the sound of his line ringing adding to my anxiety. I clutched my chest, trying to control my breathing and maybe stop crying. But the tears kept on flowing out and I struggled to breathe. "Please, pick up," I muttered, closing my eyes as I anticipated Jin's response. Eventually, after what felt like centuries, Jin picked up the call. "Hello, Nimue. How's the test going for you?" His familiar emotionless voice from the other end somehow soothed the storm in my heart just then. I sighed in relief before stuttering. "J– Jin, I desperately need your help. I've gotten myself into so much trouble and I don't know what to do. I should've listened to Kieran... I should've listened to you about mingling with humans." I spoke so fast that I ended up pausing, trying to catch my breath.Jin remained silent at the other end, but he eventually spoke after listening to me do nothing but struggle to control my breathing."Calm down, Nimue. I'm with you. Just tel

As soon as I mentioned his name, Jin's brows snapped into a frown."Brock? The same boy I warned to never touch you again? Who still went ahead to defy me and harass you with his friends at the pickup zone?" He asked repeatedly, trying to make sure he knew who I was talking about. I mean, duh. How many "Brock's" were in the school?Anyway, I nodded my head in response to all his questions. "Yes, that's him." I paused before adding. "And he wasn't ‘harassing' me at the pickup zone that day. He was just... He was just trying to be friendly." I lowered my head. However, Jin scoffed, arching an eyebrow inquisitively. "Trying to be 'friendly' by hitting on you while watching his friends call you names? Come on, Nimue, you're smarter than that."I sighed in defeat. I hadn't wanted Jin to find out about Brock's persistent flirting because of this same reason, among others. He just seemed so creepily possessive. Anyway, I looked away from Jin, my face heating up with embarrassment. Maybe a

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
