Fated to my 4 bully Stepbrothers Chapter 11
Valeria POVThe late afternoon sun cast long shadows through the café window as I wiped down another table, my muscles were aching from hours of work.I pulled the apron tighter around my waist, as I glanced around the bustling café. This was a perfect escape from the chaos of my life at home and the suffocating tension I had to endure around my stepbrothers.Here, I was just another employee, trying to make ends meet and that suited me perfectly.With my 18th birthday behind me, I was determined to save enough money to leave. The café job might not pay much, but to me, it was a start.Wiping my brow after taking several orders, I returned behind the counter to start processing the orders. Just as I was done filling up a tray with coffee cups and pastries, the bell above the door chimed.I turned to the newcomers, a smile on my face to welcome them but as I saw who they were, my heart sank. It was Merah from school and her friends. As soon as they spotted me, their expressions changed

Valeria POVSome seconds later, Zane returned, carrying a small, white plastic bag.“Valeria!” he motioned to me. “Come here!”There were people at the counter, waiting in line for their order. I glared at him.“I’m busy!” I said through gritted teeth.“Do you want me to come carry you or will you come willingly?” he asked, arching a brow at me as a playful smile played on his lips.A blush crept up my neck as I swallowed hard. Why was he openly flirting with me?“I said I cannot!” I repeated, pointing at the line of customers in front of me.He nodded and came towards the counter and in one single swoop, he grabbed me and lifted me off the ground like I weighed nothing. Some of the customers hooted and clapped but I wasn’t impressed.Finally, he set me down on an empty chair, the smile was still on his face. On the other hand, I couldn’t stop blushing. After setting me on the chair, he sat on the other chair and dragged me close to him.Our faces were dangerously close to each other

Valeria POVOver the following weeks, I found myself increasingly surrounded by unexpected kindnesses from Zane.Like now, Zane stood in front of me, holding a bouquet of flowers in front of the café. The bright yellow blooms contrasted sharply with the dark autumn sky behind him and I could only stare, speechless.“I thought you could use a little something to brighten your shift,” he said with his signature grin. The one that melted my heart easily these days.I blinked, not sure what to do. Why was this becoming a habit? Despite it’s been weeks since the incident in the café when he had stepped in and defended me from Merah and her friends. Since then, he has been… different. Nicer. More attentive.At first, they were small gestures – fresh flowers appearing on my locker on every Monday morning, a hot coffee already ordered and waiting for me at the beginning of my café shifts. Then they grew more bolder, more personal.He had also mastered the art of being present without seeming

Valeria POVA few days later, it was a weekend and I was home alone.My mother and Alpha Cassian were attending the wedding ceremony of an Alpha from a nearby pack and had informed me the night before. It was almost midday when I woke up to discover it was just me at home and the pack domestic staff who seemed busy.I decided to see a movie. Though Zane had promised to come over later to help me study for my upcoming calculus test.I brought out the necessary textbooks and questions, waiting for his arrival. I was almost settling into the movie when the doorbell rang. I opened the door to find Zane leaning against the frame, flashing me that familiar grin that made my heart skip a beat.“Hey,” he said, stepping inside, refusing my attempt to relieve him of the bag of groceries he had in one hand and the bottle of wine he had in the other. “Am I too late?” he asked making straight for the kitchen. “I thought we could make lunch together before we do the math. I’ve been craving your hel

Valeria POVI held my smarting cheek, staring at my mother with surprise.“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?’ my mother hissed. I have worked so hard to give us a life here, to make sure we’re safe, and you go and pull something like this?’I swallowed hard, trying to hold back the tears at the corner of my eyes. I hadn’t meant for any of this to happen. I didn’t even fully realize how close I and Zane had come to crossing a line.“I didn’t mean to,” I said, trembling.“You didn’t mean to?” she scoffed. “You’ve been nothing but trouble since we moved here. And now this? Do you want to ruin everything for us? Do you want to destroy the life we are trying to build?”I bit my lips, struggling not to cry. “I’m sorry but I wasn’t seducing him, Mom. I promise.”“That’s now how it looked, Valeria. You more than anyone should understand how hard our life was before we came here. We lived paycheck to paycheck, never knowing if we’d make rent. Not just that, raising you on my own, struggli

Valeria POVMy heart sank but I forced myself to stay calm, not to let any hurt spill over. “I guess, I don’t need to say much then.”Zane hesitated, “So… you’re planning to do what your mom said?”I nodded, refusing to meet his probing gaze. “It’s for the best. My mom has her life here, you’re all her new family. I’m just… I don’t fit here. I’ll leave after graduation.”He was silent for a moment before he finally spoke. “But what if you did fit here, Valeria? What if things were different?”My heart fluttered despite myself but I pushed it down, willing myself not to hope. “It’s too late, Zane. I’m leaving in a few months. This… whatever this is, won’t change anything.”His eyes darkened, and he moved a bit closer, his voice was a whisper now. “What if I could? You’re my mate after all… what if there’s the slightest probability that things will change?”The intensity in his gaze made my heart pound, but I forced myself to look away.“I have to keep my word to my mother, Zane. She wa

Valeria POVA few days passed, but the regret didn’t fade. I missed Zane. I missed his smile, his voice, his warm presence, his meals. I missed the feeling of someone who cared. Of closing my shifts and walking up to a bouquet of colourful flowers.Every time I close my eyes, I see Zane’s face, the hurt I’d caused him. He had always been there for me, right from before I found out we were mates, always supported me and I’d thrown it back in his face like it meant nothing.But if I wanted to make things right, I would find him and apologize. I just needed to explain, to help him understand why it’s important we stay apart. But the problem was, that Zane had stopped coming to the pack house.For days now, I’ve toyed with the idea of going to his house but the problem was, I didn’t know the exact address. All the times we’ve gone there, I was always in Zane’s car, either sleeping or chatting with him and didn’t pay close attention to the landmarks.Perhaps, if I asked any of the boys. Ma

Valeria POVI was done with waiting for anyone to change. It was time to start putting myself first.After the incident at Red Door, I kept my distance from my stepbrothers. To me, they no longer seemed like people I’d once wanted to know, much less impressed. So, I moved through the house as a ghost might, quiet and detached, not stopping to make small talk or meet anyone’s eyes.My life was triangular. From school to the café to the pack house. I made sure I left the house early enough to avoid riding to school with Lysander and found another route home after my shift to the café. I didn’t want to run into any of my stepbrothers by mistake.Alerion was the first to try to try to engage in a conversation with me.“Hey, Val,” he greeted me when we met in the hallways, the kind of tone that might have once prompted a smile from me. I merely nodded, barely glancing at him.Caius, too, tried a gentler approach. One morning he’d left a small box of my favourite tea on the kitchen counter,

CHAPTER 34 ~Valeria~I swear, my lungs just refused to work right after what I witnessed. My heart was drumming so quickly that everyone close to me turned to stare at me with concern.“Are you sure you still want to watch this?” A girl by my side asked.I nodded my head without thinking, “Yes, I can.”“I don’t think so.”“Maybe, you should take a minute walk away from this.” She suggested, trying to grab my hand and pull me away from the crowd.“I promise you that I’m okay.” I pulled away from the stranger and inched closer to Zane so she wouldn’t bother me again. That was when he also got the hint and moved. Zane blocked my vision with his palm when my heart didn’t stop beating so loudly. The cedar scent of his palm was the quickest remedy I didn’t know I needed. “I’ll let you know when it’s okay to watch.” He murmured. Everywhere was so silent like they had already uttered a last minute prayer for Alerion’s soul. Under duress, I shoved Zane’s palm away and counted back from

Chapter 33~Valeria~If I had placed a bet on how dirty this could get, I would have been a lot richer than my stepfather. Guys didn’t do words. They did fists. “The rules are simple,” the leader sneered, rolling his shoulders as he measured up to Alerion. “One-on-one. No weapons. Just our wolves and human forms. The loser gets on their knees and apologizes to the winner.” I didn’t like the idea of that. Sure, I trusted my brothers to win at their best but it wasn’t everytime that one could get lucky. I was going to object to their childish suggestion when Alerion accepted the challenge. “Fine. But when I win, I don’t want your apology. I want you to keep your worthless mouth shut and beg for Valeria’s forgiveness.” The crowd cheered his boldness in support while our opponents cringed in irritation. The leader smirked, then nodded to his chosen fighter, a broad-shouldered, thick-necked werewolf who looked like he could break bones just by clenching his fists too hard. He was ta

Chapter 32~Valeria~The moment Alerion’s name was announced as the winner, the crowd erupted into cheers. I could hear my brothers' names being called next, Caius and Zane tied for second, and Lysander trailing just behind in third. Not everyone was pleased with their victory but they didn’t care. The competition had been tense and they gained more enemies than we expected. I could feel eyes on me. One that spiked danger in my spine. Then, I saw them. A group of werewolves, unfamiliar but not completely unknown. They moved through the crowd with arrogant confidence, their laughter so irritating and intentional. But it wasn’t just their presence that made my stomach twist. It was them. The ones who had bullied me before. The ones who had made my life a living hell. And now, they were here. I swallowed hard, my palm slick with sweat. My body flinched with discomfort before my mind could fully grasped the danger. I retraced my steps. My brothers, on the other hand, stood still lik

~Zane~Winning had never been just about proving myself to just anybody. I was born a Cassian, raised in a house where strength, dominance, and victory were the only things that mattered. Losing wasn’t an option, not to Alerion, not to Caius, not to Lysander. But tonight, none of that compared to the real reason I was dead set on winning.Valeria. Every display of my manliness in my wolf form that I put into this competition was for her. I had to show her that I wasn’t just another jealous, irrational, possessive freak who couldn’t protect her. I had to prove that I was the only one who deserved to own her. Not Caius. Not Lysander. Not anyone else who thought they could slip into her life by being a goody bag and then snatching her away. “Come on, man.”“You got this.” I mentally prepped myself as I warmed up while glancing at her.Damn, she was the prettiest girl in this crowd and I didn’t care how every other girl looked. They didn’t matter. The first event was tracking prey, a

~Valeria~You know that moment when you're stuck between the Devil and the deep blue sea, and neither option looks pretty? Yeah, that was me.Zane was heading straight for me, eyes dark with anger, jaw tight, walking trouble disguised as charmfor naive little girls. My instinct pinched me to take the nearest exit, but that would only make things worse.So I stood gracefully, glancing around to see if anyone else had noticed the raging tornado that had just entered the room.Caius must have noticed but he didn’t budge and I didn’t expect him to.“Zane, what a surprise.” My lips curled into something resembling a smile, but my teeth were clenched. “Didn’t expect to see you here.”If his eyes could shoot fire, I’d be ashes by now. He didn’t say a word but his eyes howled a thousand things I could understand. A few people were already staring and my heart raced from being the center of attraction in a bad way.Without caring at all for his image or mine, Zane grabbed me by the arm and dr

~Valeria~“You need a break from that shithole they call an academy,” Landon said the moment I answered the FaceTime call. His face filled my screen, seeming more upset over the stories he had heard of my suffering. I sighed, shifting against my pillows. “Unless you have a magic wand to make everyone shut up, I don’t see how that’s possible.”Landon leaned back against what looked like an expensive leather chair. “Actually,” he drawled, “I’ve got something even better.”I raised a brow. “And that is?”“There’s a gala this weekend—high-end, exclusive, the kind of event that could actually do you some good.”I hesitated. The idea of walking into a room full of powerful strangers, pretending I belonged, made my stomach twist.“I don’t know, Lan…”He tilted his head. “Come on, Val. Think of it as a chance to network. Expand your circle. Show people you’re more than the rumors.”I bit my lip, still unconvinced. “I’d rather stay home and study with Caius.”“Study? Come on, Val.”“There wil

~Valeria~If there was a world record for how fast someone’s life could go to hell thrice in a row, I was pretty sure I’d just broken it.I thought everyone went back to paying attention at Amanda but she doubled her game and it made it even worst with the scandals.School had become a torture ground and I dreaded the weekdays badly.Even teachers looked at me with disgust and made snide comments about my grades dropping low.“If you focused more on school than boys, you wouldn’t have an F on your maths test.” Mr. Collins said as I approached him in his office about my scores.Right there, my breathing went shallow and I was close to passing out from the drum of insults loaded on me.I expected them to know better. I wasn’t skipping classes to make out under the bleachers. I was suffocating under the pressure of deadlines, assignments and soul crushing comments and drags on my social media.But it didn’t matter to them to stop and think for a second that I was the victim here.Swallow

~Valeria~The thing with rumors? They never really die. You can suppress them with facts but some people would never accept the truth. They would rather eat me up with their eyes and mutter insults in disgust. And right now? I just wanted the ground to swallow me from this walk of disgrace.I knew appearing in school would be the biggest mistake but I didn’t expect the silence. I thought they would throw crumpled papers at my head, laugh in my face or mutter curses but they didn’t.Not even a single whisper as I passed, just eyes, so many damn eyes watching me like I had their favorite soap opera on my face.Honestly, it was worse than the gossip. At least when people talked, I could pretend I didn’t care but not now.“Just keep walking.” Lysander muttered beside me, jolting me back to the reality that he was here.I did keep walking, head high, spine straight like a model like I hadn’t read half the school calling me every single name under the sun on social media last night.Slut.

~Valeria~The guilt was eating me alive.I wasn’t the one who called Landon. I wasn’t the one who embarrassed him. But I was the reason it happened.Maybe that’s why Alerion’s words wouldn’t stop echoing in my head.I exhaled sharply and pulled out my phone.I hesitated for a second, my thumb hovering over the call button. Then, before I could talk myself out of it, I pressed it.He answered almost immediately.“Val?” His voice was deep, groggy, like he had just woken up. And damn, it was the kind of voice that could make any girl weak in the knees.I swallowed. “Hey… are you busy?”There was a pause. Then a lazy chuckle. “Well, I am now.”Despite everything, a small smile tugged at my lips.“I..uh, I’m sorry for disturbing you.”“I can never see you as a burden, Val.” His voice was soft, sincere.And just like that, my heart did a stupid little flip.His words made me even more guilty because he was the sweetest guy ever and I just had to make him look bad with my selfish actions.Cl
