Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother Chapter 118
KESTER.I was almost behind schedule. I had to make a quick stop at Leropita Hospital to make sure everything was fine. Just a quick 'hello' check on them. Nothing more.I still didn't ask them what Kasmine was there for, but I was certain my presence there reignited a certain understanding that was established between us some years ago.The basement of my office reeked of stale sweat and grime. The kind of smell that clung to the walls, seeped into the cracks of the concrete, and wrapped itself around the atmosphere like a living thing.Behind me, three of my men followed.In the center of the dimly lit room, tied to a chair, was a man. A pitiful mess of sweat-drenched clothing and trembling limbs. Ropes soaked in wolfsbane cut deep into his wrists and ankles, biting into flesh and leaving ugly, raw marks that hinted at the pain he was going through.He let out a pathetic, broken whimper that barely made it past the gag stuffed in his mouth. His head lolled slightly, the blindfold ov

KASMINE.Steam curled in the air as I stepped out of the shower, my damp skin prickling against the evening chill. I reached for a towel, rubbing it over my hair with slow, careful motions, but even that felt like too much effort.The dizziness I felt some days ago only got worse. But I could swear it was from the fact that I had only eaten once in two days.Usually, I could go two—sometimes three—days without food if I had to. But this time, it was different. My body wasn't just tired; it felt drained like life itself was slowly bleeding out of me.I swallowed hard, willing it away. Maybe it was just the exhaustion. Maybe I needed water. Maybe I just needed to lie down.Maybe…I blinked hard, steadying myself against the sink. My reflection in the mirror looked paler than usual, dark smudges under my eyes boldly highlighting the exhaustion I refused to acknowledge.I took a breath that didn't help, pressing my palm against my forehead as I exited the bathroom.No, I wasn't sick. I wa

KASMINE."Why did you shut me out, Kasmine?" His voice wasn't angry anymore—it was low, almost broken, and it hit deeper than the yelling ever could. He dragged a hand through his damp hair, fingers tightening in frustration before he let them drop to his sides. "Why?"I scoffed. God, he was unbelievable."Why don't you go spend more quality time with your fiancée?" I snapped, crossing my arms over my chest. "Maybe she'll help you forget that I even exist," I said, holding his gaze and hoping I looked as serious as I wish I looked.His brows pulled together as if the words physically pained him. "It's not what you think, baby. Let me explain. Please—"The earlier I accepted this, the better for me. For us."Don't," I cut in quickly before losing my nerve. "Don't give me that line, Kester. Don't you dare try to fix this with sweet words and that look on your face.""Kasmine—""No!" I bit out, my voice trembling despite how hard I fought to keep it steady. "There is nothing to explain!

KESTER.The silence in my office was a strange kind of loud. Even with Lance droning on about the weekly updates, every word felt like a whisper slipping through a fog.It was becoming increasingly difficult to stay even a second without being around or seeing Kasmine.Fuck.It was all getting to my head, and I didn't know how much longer I could deal with this distance she was forcing on us.My heart kept beating at an unhealthy speed, and, fuck... I needed her like an antidote. I was gradually losing my shit."...So the farmers are requesting Keliud fertilizer to the previous one we used before," Lance finished a sentence he made that practically flew over my attention.I nodded slowly, rubbing the heel of my palm against my brow. "Get it for them."He paused. I could feel his gaze on me, like he was waiting for me to actually engage. But I didn't have the strength to fake it today.Hell, I hadn't slept properly. Not since I walked out of her room last night with her voice still ech

KESTER.I've been on my phone all fucking day.Texting. Calling.Putting out fires and lighting new ones.Ensuring everything was under control and went as planned while preparing for this damned dinner.Everything had to work out fine. And soon enough. Because the sooner it happened, the quicker I'd get back with Kasmine and fix what was shattering between us.I was losing myself. Slowly unraveling, I swear it.With the steps I have taken and with June's promise to me the other day, I was certain the engagement ring wouldn't sit too long on June's finger before I call it off.I also had other plans to make sure King Mellors would not be able to undo the help he was about to render now when I call off the engagement. All of that is in the pipeline.It was already time for the dinner.My least favorite hour tonight.I checked the time again on my phone, locking the screen before the image of Kasmine's naked body, which I was looking at moments ago, forced me to go into her room this mi

KESTER.I headed downstairs to join the others who were already chatting away at the dining.The table reeked of discomfort.My maternal uncle, Greg, was there—of course. Along with my father's cousins, Ralph and Vincent. The kind of men who wore expensive suits to hide the mediocrity clinging to their bones.Everyone I despised seated neatly around the table like some perfectly plated disease.Especially Uncle Greg.The man reminded me so much of my mother. Same passive-aggressive smirks. Same polished speech. Same Hazel eyes. The woman I hated. The woman I still, fucking tragically, loved. A contradiction I hadn't learned how to overcome yet.And what the fuck was Karina doing here?Family dinner? She wasn't family. She was an asterisk in this gathering.She wasn't family for fuck's sake!Jorja, bless her diplomatic little heart, had that signature 'ignore-it-all-and-smile' expression smeared across her face like it was waterproof. She was clearly committed to enjoying her evening,

KASMINE.I didn't want to be down here.God, I really didn't.Every fiber in me screamed to stay tucked away in the safety of my room, buried under the warmth of silence and solitude. But I threw that choice away the moment I glanced at my phone and saw his name lighting up my screen again.Jaden.I'd been ignoring his calls for days—pressing decline like a reflex, almost like breathing. He must've finally gotten the message because he stopped calling and started texting instead.Persistent bastard.And maybe whatever deity decided to touch him with a bit of remorse didn't quite finish the job — because despite the fact that he was trying to apologize for how our first date went, he still had that sprinkle of arrogance like a perfume he refused to wash off.It was... irritating.And oddly entertaining.But it was a good distraction reading his texts – a stupid, oddly timed, mildly amusing distraction in a world where everything else felt like it was rotting around me – because they ma

KASMINE."Let me go, Kester!" I managed to choke out, but my words barely made it past my dry throat. I clawed at his arm as I struggled against the iron grip around my throat.His body pressed into mine, caging me against the wall, heat radiating from him like an inferno.But it was his eyes—those eyes—that made terror freeze up my blood.Dark. Dilated. Ferocious.Unhinged."Kester," I gasped, my voice cracking, "you're hurting me!"His lips curled into a wicked, twisted smile. "Good," he murmured, as if that was what he wanted, as if my panic was exactly what he needed. "Good.""Please..." I breathed."What? Can't stand the beast you awakened?" He seethed, his words coming in a snarl. "Such a perfect performance tonight, Kasmine. Bravo."His voice was simmering with a madness that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It was like I wasn't even looking at the man I knew anymore. This was something else—something unrecognizable and dangerous.His face was inches from mine, b

Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother Chapter 150
KASMINE.The doorknob turned.My heart sank. My breath froze in my chest like ice splintering through my lungs.I whipped my head around, scanning the room. It was small, pathetic, and cramped. One window nailed shut. No back door. No closet to hide in. And, stupidly, stupidly, I hadn't even locked the damn door when Jake left.It creaked open slowly, like the beginning of a horror movie where the girl never survives. Except this wasn't fiction. This was my life. My reality. My punishment.And there stood.Kester – my so-called mate.Tall. Lethal. Beautiful in that cruel, haunting way only the devil himself could be.The scent hit me harder. It was strong, smoky, and spicy. Masculine, wild, and so mine.My body betrayed me on the spot.My traitorous wolf, Zera, whimpered inside me, "Mate. Mate."No. Not now. Not this time.But Kester saw it all – the flicker in my eyes, the way my knees trembled, and the flush that crept up my neck.He smiled. That goddamn arrogant smirk he always had

KASMINE.We had to move. There was a tightening in my gut and a pull of dread that refused to loosen.I didn't trust Kester. Perhaps he must have followed us last night without us knowing. Or he even had someone do the following. Maybe that was how he got to know our location.We had left as soon as Jake returned from getting me some new clothes, a toothbrush, toiletries, and little thoughtful things he knew I'd be needing that made me want to cry because he knew without being told.See why I had to love Jake? He was gentle in ways I didn't know I craved. Attentive in moments most people would overlook. He was so kind, loving and caring.The new motel was small, almost tucked away from the world, sitting quietly on the edge of nowhere, and it was really far from the previous one.Since we moved here, I felt more at peace. It was almost seven PM, and there have been no calls or texts from Kester yet.Good.I shifted beneath the thin motel sheets and winced. My body no longer felt like

KESTER.June's laughter followed after the silence.I didn't react.But I felt the slow burn crawling up my spine. It wasn't anger or fear. Just a quiet, dangerous fucking fury that pressed like cold steel behind my ribs."You think I'm stupid?" she asked, lifting her head, chin tilted with a smirk that told me she thought she'd won.I didn't answer. I just looked at her."I've seen the signs for months, honey," she continued. "Hell, I saw the signs long before you can ever even imagine. But I said nothing."I tilted my head just slightly. "What signs?"She laughed again, slowly walking away from the table, pacing like she was giving a TED talk about betrayal. "Don't play dumb, Kester. You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about."My silence was its own kind of answer.She turned sharply. "You've been fucking your stepsister."I didn't flinch. I didn't give her the satisfaction. But my hand curled into a fist by my side."I saw you," she continued, almost as if she was cutting he

KESTER."What's going on, Kes?" June's heels clicked on the marble floor as she walked toward the mini bar, her reflection glinting off the glass cabinetry as she poured herself into the room like she had truly become a part of the home.I didn't even turn to face her. I didn't look up. My fingers curled around the crystal glass of whiskey, my eyes fixed on the ice slowly melting inside it with lethal quietness.I was thinking of when would be the best time to go and get my mate and take her back home. When would the best time be to shatter the illusion of freedom she thought she had? This afternoon? Or tonight?June was just one final piece on the board. One final checkmark before I cleaned the house.Karina - check.Wescor and Belinzo - check.Kex and the fake Elvris - double-check.Ongoing deal with the real Elvris - check.Alpha Mellors' irrevocable contract - check.June - about to be checkmated."I just saw the news about Karina. This is... Who would have ever thought?" She drop

KESTER.Her eyes darted from the screen to Jorja, to Dad, to me. Searching for a reaction or for someone to tell her this was all just a bad dream.No one said a word.Not even Jorja—Queen of Constant Commentary. She stood frozen, one manicured hand on her chest, the other under her chin as she watched the show."Here." She said, regaining some boldness. "You can check my phone. I never sent such a text to anyone." She handed the phone over to Lance, who navigated through her text messaging app. After a few seconds, he flashed the screen in her direction, and I swear, her eyes almost fell out of their sockets.The text messages were there on her phone. The dates showed that she had sent the text just two days ago."No. No." She shook her head, "There is... There is a mix-up here. I can't recall doing any of these... No." She was trembling, taking slow steps backward. "Someone must've… drugged me or set me up or something. This isn't—this isn't fair."Fair?I almost laughed.She looked

KESTER.I didn't waste a single second. The moment Jorja spun on her heel, I was right behind her.She was fuming, and that said a lot.Jorja valued image above breath itself. Her obsession with appearances had governed every move she'd ever made. She hated anything that would ruin her image or that of her family.So, if she looked like she wanted to throw someone through a window, I knew the situation was beautiful.No wonder Kasmine was really scared about our secret. With a mother like this? Shame was a goddamn religion."Good morning, Alpha," The five men greeted in unison.I peeped outside and caught sight of two matte-black vans and a Hilux parked on the driveway.A few more men flanked the vehicles, securing the perimeter. And, of course, a curious audience who wouldn't miss the spectacle for anything in the world had begun to form.The icing on the cake? The news reporters were here to cover the spectacle. I'm certain her mate, Alpha Wes, would have a wonderful time watching h

KESTER."Kester? Aren't you concerned that your sister just left without a word?" My father said to me as soon as I stepped into the house.I'd spent the night in my office, tying up every thread, smoothing out every wrinkle in my plan. Today was execution day. Every piece was falling neatly into place—Karina included. And once that was done, my company and my Alpha title would be secured, solidified, and untouchable. Then I can go get my mate and take her back to our home, and we'll live in peace.Things had never been this perfect before.Everything was aligned, gliding forward on greased rails.Suspiciously perfect? Maybe.But perfection isn't impossible—not when you have the right brain and a flawlessly loyal right-hand man like Norlan. With Norlan, even impossibilities get scheduled and signed off.The intervention team should be pulling up any minute now. And June proposed to visit tomorrow. I didn't stop her. She had to be here for me to end things with her."She's fine. No one

KESTER.The one thing the Moon Goddess had ever done right was chaining Kasmine to me with something she couldn't undo. Something she didn't choose and didn't have a choice in.Fate.I should worship the Moon Goddess for it. For once, she wasn't playing games. She gave me the one thing I ever wanted, the one thing that was mine.And Kasmine… sweet, confused, little Kasmine… she still thought she had a say in all this.I know exactly what's spinning in that pretty head of hers. She thinks the next step is rejection. She thinks that the bond we share is something she can sever with a few muttered words and teary eyes.That has to be the funniest fucking thing I've ever imagined. Because let the world split open, and the Draegor himself crawl out of the pit of hell to rule this earth—I would never reject my fated mate.Fuck.'My. Fated. Mate.' The sound of it made a dance erupt in my stomach.I couldn't believe this was happening, in all honesty.I didn't plan on telling anyone yet. We

KASMINE.My legs propelled me before my brain had the time to think. I ran as fast as I could into the crowd.All I could feel was him. That magnetic, horrifying pull closing in like a vice around my ribs.I reached for Jake and pulled him by his arm. He was the closest person I could find. Claire was nowhere to be found."Jake. Jake. Come." I couldn't even form the words I wanted to say."What—babe, what's going on?" he stammered, confused, half-turning toward me.I didn't answer. I just yanked him with everything I had, dragging him out of the crowd and into the parking lot like the devil himself was behind us.Because he was.I felt Kester's presence closing in on us like smoke. It was so fast that my heart almost jumped out of my mouth.His scent grew stronger, too. And it was mixed with fury and danger.Panic clawed up my throat."Jake!" I practically threw myself into the passenger seat of his car—the old, beat-up piece of junk his uncle barely lets him drive. I didn't care. I s
