Avery let out an exasperated sigh as she walked through the lobby, ignoring the silent mutters and whispers of the guests and workers.

She can’t exactly blame them since the hot news for that morning happens to be about her father’s infidelity.

“We might need to reassess the maids again.” Avery whispered, feeling uncomfortable by the pitiful glances being thrown her way.

While some smirked as if glad that she’s got a rival, some looked worried, while some were curious, having learnt to read people’s faces, expressions, and body language since she started filling for her father, Avery hates the vibe she kept getting from the people ever since the article about her father having a son with his long-time girlfriend Eloise Reign.

“What a nice way to put ‘mistress.” Avery scoffed aloud as she walked into her office with a dramatic eye roll.

“Lewis, how are we doing with finding the person who posted the article?” Avery asked as she walked past his blonde, English assistant.

    Ian felt his throat itch. Right before he got close to the door to open it, he could already guess who was there; Avery’s soft chuckles and intoxicating jasmine scent kind of announced her presence before she even got close.‘Fuck,’ Ian thought as memories of that morning rushed at him as he stood frozen, his eyes locked with Avery’s.Avery left the house early, just like how she left the dining room the previous night before he had the chance to stop her; Avery had rushed out before the effect of the sedatives he took wore off.He had to take them since it was the only way he could sleep without walking up to her door in the middle of the damn night and while Ian wished their path would cross in the morning, Avery didn’t even wait around for breakfast.Even after she left for work, her lingering scent was enough to lure Ian to her room, which she probably forgot to lock as she was in a hurry to avoid him. Ian gave in to his wolf, walked over to her bed and took a sharp inhale of sil

  • Luna to my stepbrother (Her sinful indulgence)   chapter 15-Coincidental meeting 2

    Chapter 15Avery instantly started regretting her choice to tag along with Derrick and Roslyn to the hospital. It’s not like she couldn’t stay over at Roslyn's home alone, but staying in a mansion as big as theirs would only make the silence worse and she hates the silence; it is probably why Roslyn decided not to leave her alone.She thought she hid it well that she hated being alone but of course, Roslyn figured still, she should have turned them down; going to the hospital at a time as critical as this would only fan the flames of the rumours and speculations about her and her family.And more than that, it was uncomfortable being in the same space as Ian, not when he was so close with the warmth of his burning skin sipping right into her. Avery could feel his breath right on her neck, and while that would be something she would normally feel disgusted about in a normal situation, heat crept into her and her face grew warm in reaction.Avery glanced down at her shoulders, hoping t

    Although Avery had ignored Ian’s existence as she promised she would, it didn’t mean she could get him off her mind.Ever since that blatant display with his girlfriend where she just walked away to find Michael, she couldn’t stop herself from wondering what he was up to since she hasn’t seen him around since then.“Is Ian not joining us for dinner?” Avery couldn’t believe herself as she turned to Eloise in question since the maids were already filling their plates and Ian was nowhere to be seen.Eloise’s reaction to her question made her realise how absurd it was to ask but she answered either way.“He isn’t feeling so well. He won’t be joining us tonight,” Eloise replied, with her eyes suspiciously narrowed at her.“Oh, just asking since I didn’t see him come down for lunch as well.” Avery shrugged, hoping that was enough to ease Eloise's suspicion. Ian, after going upstairs with that girl, hasn’t been seen around since, even though Finn wanted so much to have a private conversatio

    “Are you seriously not going to tell me anything about her at all?” Eloise asked for the nth time as Ian walked away from the dining table to the fridge to get himself a bottle of water after his morning run.“You’ve asked me that for the millionth time, Mom. I still haven’t gotten to know her yet. I’ll let you know once I get to know her a little bit better first,” Ian said, hanging his face towel to his neck before opening the fridge for a bottle of water, which he drained in a go.Although he went for a run since the day breaks, he still couldn’t clear his head after realising the Avery in his dream, right back in his arms, was real; the heat vanished, leaving him totally distraught and guilt-ridden over his actions.It was exactly what he’d been trying to avoid; alphas tend to lose their heads during their rut; it’s why he opted for sedatives rather than actually relieving the heat of his rut.But after Ian realised his body was starting to resist the sedatives, he called Nat over

    “How is he?”Avery and Eloise asked Finn’s personal doctor almost at the same time after walking out of Finn’s master suite with a sweaty forehead.“He’s going to be okay, but we can only do so much to keep him alive. I’m sorry but you’ll all have to prepare your minds.” The middle-aged troubled man said.While doctors are known for their straight faces when treating their patients, Eden Hawkins worried expression wasn’t that much different from the rest of them; after all, he was basically family, and Avery knew just how hard this sucks for him as well.“This was all your fault,” Eloise said out of nowhere, surprising them all.“If only you had picked this fucking disease earlier, none of this would have happened. Finn paid you thousands to manage his health and what did you do? Absolutely nothing,” Eloise fumed, her voice laden with grief and her face outlined by pure frustration.It felt like she just needed someone or something to vent at and Eden just happened to be there.“I apol

    “What the fuck was that?” Storm, after Ian's performance in front of Avery, asked; his display somehow hurt his alpha pride so hard he wanted to hide in a hole somewhere. “Our mate is so kind, isn't she?” Ian wondered aloud as he watched Avery walk ahead after Michael informed them of their father calling for her. “What does that have to do with anything?” Storm demanded. Ian, after a few days of studying, finally decided on how to approach Avery. She wasn't someone she could approach aggressively; she was headstrong and hated it if things were forced. And though she pretends to be cold and indifferent but eyes don't lie and her demeanour was probably to protect the kindness hidden in her heart, the kindness she was probably afraid to lay bare or she'll be taken advantage of. Her reaction to his sudden tears was proof. The way she got all flustered and confused as she tried to reach for him but hesitated. It was pretty cute watching her get all fidgety and guilty about her act

    Eloise might have pretended to ignore it but she also noticed how restless Ian was around the house since he arrived.At first, she thought it was only because of his rut, then she wondered if the changing environment and his father’s presence had anything to do with it but to think it was something that huge—Eloise felt speechless, staggering back until her back met the barrel chair behind her.“This doesn’t make any sense." Eloise mumbled repeatedly but Ian still picked it anyway. “Are you sure? You could be wrong?” Eloise felt nervous all of a sudden.“Mom, you once told me the one thing a wolf would never mistake is the mate bond... you know it’s impossible to mistake such a thing, her scent, her touch... it’s been killing me since I came here,” Ian confessed and Eloise frowned, wondering what he meant by her touch but decided not to ask, dismissing it as probably so little as them brushing shoulders.“Was she why your rut suddenly came?” The realisation dawned on her, leaving her

But why does the idea, which had ceased to bother her years ago, suddenly make her uncomfortable now? Is she still not over it? Avery wondered as she anxiously shook her crossed leg against the sofa she was seated in under the hut in the garden, a small relaxation spot she often used before she got uncomfortable with Eloise’s parading around the house and moved out.Avery had her laptop placed in front of her on the glass table while holding physical files to match the reports from work but quickly got distracted at the thought of Ian angrily walking out on their father after his announcement.It’s weird that his actions made him seem like he was against the idea; Avery had thought he’d be thrilled by it but surprisingly, she caught a frown on his face as he walked out.“I wonder what’s up with him; if anything, he shou

    Avery couldn’t help but feel conflicted after hearing Ian left the house just like she did.Did he want a time-out like her? Was he feeling conflicted like she was? Did he finally decide to give up on her?She’ll probably like that, it was never gonna work between them, maybe things would have been different if they didn’t share the same blood, maybe just maybe things could have been different.But Avery couldn’t help the ache in her heart. “Fuck!” Avery let out a silent cuss that Damian somehow heard.“You okay? You look a little distracted Avy” Damian’s said his amber eyes squinted in worry.“I’m…I’m okay. I just have a lot going on” Avery replied, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge the of the glass up with the orange juice Derrick had handed her.“Is this about this Ian kid? You’ve been out since Derrick mentioned him” Damian pointed out, reminding Avery how attentive he has always been. “D’you wanna talk about, you always like telling me stuff” ‘That was beacause I had a

  • Luna to my stepbrother (Her sinful indulgence)   Chapter 26-Ian's visit to the pack

    According to Kaden, the moment the Moon hound pack, a neighbouring pack that has fought their pack over territory for years, heard about his absence from the pack, they attacked Raven Hills.Of course, his grandfather didn’t sit still; he defended his pack like he always did, they probably attacked after underestimating his strength but there were a few casualties, including Kaden’s mother, who was the pack's official gamma.Although Kaden assured her that he didn’t need to be there, the attack was over, and everything was back in order again. The moon hound pack has been pushed back yet again after they suffered even larger casualties, but Ian wanted to visit the pack; he needed a break, even if it was just for a day; he needed a change of environment.It was almost laughable; he spent his entire life in the pack and never thought he needed a break from the environment but after a week with his parents, he found himself searching for home because he could never feel at home with the

  • Luna to my stepbrother (Her sinful indulgence)   Chapter 25-Avery's first love

    Avery couldn't bring herself to join them for dinner or breakfast after what happened with Ian.As she woke up the next day, she saw the maids had already started on the Christmas decorations; Eloise and Finn were no exception, instructing the staff about how they wanted the house to look like while Finn also helped hang a few Christmas tree decorations on his wheelchair.Christmas, huh? Avery furrowed. Christmas has always been a disaster for her, since she always spends the day alone.Her douchebag exes never bothered to spend Christmas with her, thinking she'll be spending it with her dad, who ironically spent every Christmas with his mistress.She stopped hoping for Christmas, living the day like it was any other day after a few years of disappointment, working her ass off or binge-watching a series on her couch, although Rosie did extend invitations for her to spend Christmas with them; she wasn't sure she could handle watching their harmonious, big, happy family while hers has l

  • Luna to my stepbrother (Her sinful indulgence)   Chapter 24-Guilty pleasure

    Ian thought he could manoeuvre his way into Avery's space.Having dealt with pack politics before, he knew the type of person Avery was and he planned to use that to his advantage.Even if it was just gossip and jumbled words to derive traffic and sales, he read through almost every article about Avery, mostly about her likes and relationships and Ian figured out one thing.Avery was someone who only associated herself with people who needed her; she enjoyed being needed.It was her assurance of a relationship and more than that, she loved being in control, probably another reason why she pretends to be strong, the other reason being her kind heart which was why Ian pretended to be pitiful, to spark her urge to help since she can't resist offering a hand.But when Avery belittled his affections, as merely a moment of confusion, Ian lost his cool.Maybe Avery was right, he doesn't know her well enough, to be in love with her but the moon goddess doesn't make mistakes, the attraction Ia

    Of course he likes her, how could she not tell, if it wasn’t her cold attitude and indifference towards him, the whole house would have probably picked his interest in her.Ian has never tried to hide that he was attracted to her, from the persistent gaze of his that follows her every movement to his actions of blatantly holding her in the middle of the courtyard where any passing person could have seen her.Maybe that was what scared her; Ian seemed indifferent to everything else but with her, he laid his emotions bare like the sky flashing its rainbow colours after a heavy rain.Even though Avery had tried her best to discourage his obvious interests by remaining cold to him and constantly reminding him of his place, she didn’t think she’d falter so soon.After a call with Lewis about the Christmas break for Apollo employees, she went straight to bed but woke up after a dream of her first night together with Ian.His gentle caress, strong muscular body unbefitting of his cute boyish

  • Luna to my stepbrother (Her sinful indulgence)   Chapter 22-I like you

    It’s been two days since their kiss and Ian still couldn’t get it off his mind. Ian wished the kiss had lasted longer, wishing he could have his fill of the sour taste of the lemon juice Avery had on her table right before she brought him in.The happiness of their little moment would probably have lasted if Avery didn’t suddenly perfect the acts of avoiding him.Seeing him only when they're having their meals together, and by meals, it meant meals Finn was present, or she’d have her meal brought up to her room instead.Ian wished it was just things between her and Avery that had been awkward. Eloise and Finn seem to be having a thing of their own; of course, his mother still often helps his father, who could now barely do anything on his own but he could tell things were awkward between the two. He wasn’t sure why, and Eloise doesn’t seem ready to talk about it either and things were just about to get worse between Eloise and Avery as well.Ian thought after following Avery after s
