Nimue’s eyes crumpled at the corners, her gaze focused on me in confusion.

She was probably pondering how what I was saying made any sense and honestly, I didn't blame her.

"Listen..." I raised my hand to call her attention, a wry smile curling up my lips. "I know it sounds odd and confusing, but it's the truth. There's a lot you don't know about your mother's marriage to my father."

As I said that, I paused, my gaze going to my clothes littered on the floor. I stood and picked them, wearing my pants since I could notice how distracted Nimue seemed with me being naked and all.

When I was done, I turned back to sit and could've sworn I saw a disappointed look flash in her eyes.

Yikes, she was a wild one, wasn't she? And I thought she was some innocent virgin.

“She's been with Jin all this while. Of course, she's no longer ‘innocent'.” Scratch pointed out inside my head and I couldn't help but agree.

Anyway, after coughing to clear my throat, I continued the conversation. "My father is

    When the door finally opened fully and revealed who it was standing at the other end, I sighed in relief, rolling my eyes.Of course, it had to be Jin.He had an exhausted expression on his face and didn't even notice us at first, locking the door behind him. However, while his back still faced us, he paused, sniffing into the air. He slowly turned his gaze in our direction, his gaze landing on Nimue first before it went to me.His eyes shone in surprise as he folded his arms in front of his chest. "Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to have some fun with our mate." I bit my lips, my frustration spiking at the mocking tone he used. But Jin wasn't finished yet and sniffed the air again like some hound dog. "Phew! This living room reeks of sex and sweat. Don't tell me you two soiled my sofa with your shenanigans?" He asked, pointing at the two of us. "And why are the two of you shirtless while she's in her male form? Did you–""Don't even go there, Jin." I stopped him, raisin

    "Gosh, is that really our problem right now?" Scratch snapped in my head, pulling my thoughts away from the mysteries surrounding Jin. "Aren't you curious to know what Jin is doing with Nimue upstairs? Why are you so chill about him taking her right after an intimate moment between the two of you?"It was clear Scratch was livid, even more than I was. I tried to get my head off Jin and Nimue, but how could I when I could hear Nimue's weird-sounding giggles coming from upstairs?Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and dropped my drink on the counter. "What we need, Scratch is a walk to clear our heads," I said mentally, running upstairs to my room. After changing my clothes and having a quick bath, I came downstairs and headed outside into the night of the small town. I've been curious about the supernatural community here, but I haven't had any experiences with any supernatural. I wasn't even sure if supernaturals lived here.This was a perfect chance for me to investigate. As

  • Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy   Woke up from the Delusions

    Nimue~~The conversation that followed what I could only explain as one of the best sex of my life was almost as good as the sex itself.Nah, who was I kidding? The sex was unmatched!Jeez, is this what I've been missing in my female body? Even as Kieran kept talking, I found it hard to concentrate even though I'd transformed into my male form, my eyes fixed on his chiseled abs and athletic biceps that made my mouth water and a particular body part of my male body begin rising."Luna, could you knock that off?" Umbra snarled at Luna in my head. She responded with a scoff. "Oh, please. Don't pretend like you don't find Kieran attractive as well.""I don't. I'm not attracted to impulsive, entitled, or bratty wannabe men." Umbra spoke with a proud tone. I blinked to ignore them, my eyes twitching with disappointment when Kieran suddenly got up and picked up his clothes, covering his lower body's nakedness.Anyway, he continued the conversation by throwing more light on why he'd been

  • Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy   He Loves Me

    (Warning: Mature Content Ahead)As Luna bad-mouthed Jin in my head, Umbra shared a different thought. "He did all that to protect you, Nimue. Having that human alive would've been too risky."I did not want to remember that night. I didn't want to remember the moment when Jin had to take someone's life because of me.But no matter what, it still plagued my thoughts even after we moved away from the city.Meanwhile, Jin, who still had his arms wrapped around me in the darkroom, tightened his grip around my waist, probably to call my attention back from my thoughts."Nimue, you don't have to keep anything troubling you to yourself. I am your mate… I have to be by your side. To protect you." He whispered into my ear, my will weakening by the second with each word he uttered.I tried to resist him, but my body couldn't. This cursed male body of mine was driven by Umbra's lewdity and my lust.Eventually, I turned around and slowly placed my arms around Jin's neck. His hands trailed my back

    As Jin increased the pace of his thrusts into my ass, my vision became blurry due to the sweat dripping down my face. I was still so sweaty in an air-conditioned room, and that said a lot. Anyway, as I began getting used to the sensation of Jin sliding in and out of me, my lips curled up into a sly grin. "Oh, you think this is funny, huh?" Jin suddenly muttered from behind, placing his hand on my back.At that same moment, it was as if his dick enlarged all of a sudden in me, causing me to gasp in shock. I turned back to see the mischievous smirk on his face. "Not so funny anymore, huh?"I subconsciously gripped the bed sheet, trying to get used to the feeling of his dick inside my ass all over again. But it seemed each time I tried getting used to it, he ruined my attempts by increasing the pace of his thrusting. While he did this, he leaned on my back and stretched his hand and began stroking my dick. The sensation of him fucking me in the ass, mixed with his sensual strokes

    "We have to go now! They've found us." Kieran's voice alerted us from the other end of the door.They've found us? What was he talking about?I glanced at Jin who was already putting on a long sleeve shirt and didn't even place any attention on me. He didn't look like he was panicking but stoically put on his clothes and then his shoes before he raised his head."Well, don't just stand there." He raised an arm listlessly, his brows creasing in what seemed like annoyance. "Get dressed. We have to get out of here now."Still confused, I opened my mouth, about to ask a question but then Kieran kicked through the door and burst into the room.However, his face reddened as soon as his gaze fell on the nakedness of my male body. "Nimue, what the fuck?" He exclaimed, shielding his eyes with his hands. "Get dressed! My father's guards are in town and they're searching for us."My heart sank at that moment. This... This couldn't be happening. We were just settling into life in this town. How

    "Shit!" Kieran cursed, fixing his gaze on Jin. "How could you let them catch up with us? You drive like a snail, for real."Jin snapped back, though his tone was calm unlike Kieran's. "Easy for you to say when you're sitting back there ranting away like a passenger princess."As they bickered back and forth, I groaned in frustration, rubbing the bridge of my nose.Meanwhile, several men in black suits highlighted the Hondas and surrounded our car. They brought out tasers and guns and all had stern looks on their faces. Once again, one of them spoke with a megaphone. "Beta Kisaragi and Kieran Silverstein. By the order of the Alpha council, you are under arrest for assisting in the escape of Nimue Silverstein."Kieran's eyes twitched in annoyance. "How dare they say my name without my title?"Jin was quick with his clapback. "You mean the 'title' the Alpha stripped away from you?" My wolves, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up in my mind. "Ugh, can Jin just quit being a

    I opened my eyes to a stream of sunlight hitting my face. There was a pounding headache that started from my forehead and spread around my entire head, making me groan in pain as I remembered everything that happened last night.The Alpha's guards had found us and captured me after Kieran and Jin tried holding them off. Wait... Kieran and Jin. Where are they?I sat up and glanced around the room in a panic. It seemed I was back in Alpha Viktor's mansion, but this wasn't my room. This room was empty, save for a single one-seat sofa behind me. "Nimue." My Luna wolf suddenly spoke to me mentally, but her voice was nearly inaudible due to the splitting headache in my head that made it hard for me to concentrate.I subconsciously felt my chest with my hands and sighed in relief when I felt my breasts. On the bright side, at least I'm back in my female form."Luna, Umbra..." I called out to my wolves while I tried getting up. As soon as I did, however, the world around me began to spin

    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

  • 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

    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
