KASMINE.

Was it wrong to feel the way I did? Absolutely.

Did I care? I did, once. But now, gazing into the eyes of the man before me, I was gradually getting to the point where I didn't care anymore as his charms wove through me like a spider's thread, gently pulling me closer.

I couldn't help but fall for his tricks.

This was all a trick, wasn't it? It had to be. The Kester I knew would never do any of this for anyone. Not in a thousand years, no matter who they were. But me? Kester Hamilton, the man who barely acknowledged anyone's existence, had taken me shopping? And he even picked out some things he liked for me? And the weirdest part? He was happy doing it!

The Moon Goddess should have told us that this was the year the world would come to an end!

"Come on. We still have the night ahead of us." He said to me, his voice tinged with an uncharacteristic warmth. I couldn't help but wonder in utter curiosity what else he had planned out.

I'd never seen Kester this... happy before. Ev

  • Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother   Chapter 42

    KASMINE.I stepped in slowly as if testing the air. My mind was spinning, trying to make sense of what I was seeing.I looked around to make sure this was my room and that I hadn't mistakenly walked into a different room. Or perhaps, a different world.Or... Had my jealousy finally killed me, and I had found myself in the world beyond?But the warmth in the room—it felt so real. Too real.The first thing that struck me was how... different everything was. The sparse decor I was used to had disappeared, replaced by vibrant colors and soft lighting. Beautiful flowers—lilies and roses, their petals a soft blush pink and white—were scattered around the room.The bed—my bed—looked different too. Silk sheets, the color of deep sapphire, were neatly arranged, the pillows fluffed, inviting. Everything felt warmer, richer, and more… intentional.A large flat-screen TV hung against the wall. "What the hell?" I whispered, stepping deeper into my room as my curious gaze swept over the space, taki

    KESTER.My entire body trembled, and I knew she could feel it as my grip on her small wrist tightened by the second.Why?Why couldn't she see what she was doing to me? Why couldn't she understand that I was losing my mind over her? That every second she spent clinging to the idea of another man was driving me to the edge of something dangerous—something I wasn't sure even I could control.Why couldn't she fucking let that maggot go?!I hadn't killed him yet because it would break her. But she keeps making it difficult for me. Fuck!"Fuck it, Kasmine, who gave this to you?" My voice rose slightly, and my heart thundered in my chest.She wasn't responding, and her silence was killing me.Why? Was she too scared? Or was this an attempt to save him from what was to come?She tried to yank her hand out of my grip. The nerve to think she could."Kester..." She searched my eyes with those eyes which had held rage and jealousy when she saw June ascending the stairs a moment ago, and I was ce

    KESTER.June didn't hesitate.Not even for a second.The moment the words left my mouth, she dropped to her knees like a well-trained pet, eyes wide, eager, desperate to please. She looked like a pretty little whore, ready to worship my cock.Pitiful."Good girl," I murmured, dragging my fingers along the side of her face, watching as she leaned into my touch like she thought it meant something.It didn't.She had no fucking clue that she was nothing more than a pawn in my game. That the only reason she was even here, on her knees, was because someone else wasn't."Now, take it," I urged her as she hesitated at the sight of my cock, which wasn't even fully erect yet.She'd never had the opportunity to see me naked, and she probably never will after tonight.Her delicate palms wrapped around my cock while her thumb gently stroked its tip before bringing her tongue to join the show. She was trying to be sensual, trying to put on a show, but all I felt was boredom.Her tongue flicked ove

    KASMINE.Why the hell was I letting this get to me?I had no right to feel this way—no right to feel… jealous. Offended. Hurt.Gods, I was being so stupid.I clenched my fists, pressing my nails into my palms, anything to ground myself before my emotions spiraled into something I couldn't control. I wasn't supposed to care. Not about Kester. Not about what—or who—he did behind closed doors.And yet, the image of him—of her—was burned into my mind, playing in an endless, torturous loop.I hadn't seen Kester all day. Hell, he hadn't even stepped out of his damn room this morning. He'd told the driver and his guards to take me to the office.I never meant to knock on his door. I swear I didn't.But anger was a reckless thing. It had a way of moving my body before my mind could catch up. I was too angry, too shaken, too in need of something close to an explanation that I didn't even know when my knuckles were rapping against the heavy wood of his door, pretending—so fucking badly—that I o

    KESTER.Power was a fragile thing. Give someone a taste of it, and they'd start believing they had a right to wield it however they pleased.That was the mistake Sylvia had made.Kasmine was mine.Mine to scold. Mine to break. Mine to put back together again. No one—no fucking one—had the right to lay a hand on her. Not in punishment. Not in humiliation. Not in any damn way.When Claire came strutting into my office, wearing that self-satisfied smirk she always did when she thought she had something I'd want to hear, I almost dismissed her. Almost.I barely heard most of what she said beyond 'Sylvia and Kasmine and humiliation in front of everyone.'And just like that, the room around me ceased to exist.A slow, cold rage settled inside me, and for the first time ever, I felt like pulling the annoying bitch into a warm hug for letting me know all that had been going on between Sylvia and Kasmine for a while now.Kasmine would never have told me about it. I knew her that much. She alwa

    KASMINE.I stirred restlessly on my bed, tangled in the sheets, still as restless as I had been three days ago after saying those hurtful things I said to Kester in his car.Three days. Three whole days since, I had torn into Kester with words meant to rip him apart. And they had.I knew it the moment I said them. Knew it by the way his grip had loosened on my chin, the brief flicker in his eyes before they turned ice-cold. I knew it when he let me walk away without another word or a fight.That was the part that hurt the most.I replayed the events and conversations in my head, and sincerely, I realized that he didn't deserve those cruel words. I had let my anger and jealousy take over.I hadn't set my eyes on him after that evening. I hadn't seen him at the office all day Friday. When I got home, I half-expected—no, hoped—he'd be somewhere, anywhere in the house. But he wasn't.And when I finally caved, when my pathetic ass swallowed my pride and walked to his door, June was there,

    KASMINE.The scent of garlic and butter filled my nostrils, the soft hum of a movie filling the quiet room as I twirled a forkful of spaghetti around my fingers. The fairy lights above us cast a golden glow over Jake's face, highlighting the quiet adoration in his eyes every time he looked at me. And he looked at me a lot. Like I was the only thing in the world that mattered.I tried to focus on the movie. Some sappy romance Claire had gushed about weeks ago, where the leads were caught in an angsty, slow-burn love that made my chest feel tight.I shouldn't have agreed to this movie.Because all it did was remind me of another setting. Another room. Another man.Kester.I had been curled up on the couch in his living room, flipping through movie options, when he had grabbed the remote from my hand and chosen a film I never would've expected him to watch. A romance.We had watched in an uncomfortable silence until that cursed scene where the male lead pressed the heroine against the bed

    KASMINE.The night had turned against me.The moment my eyes met Kester's through that window, everything inside me turned to ice.His dead, hollow eyes bore into me, stripping me bare. His expression had been deathly still, like a ghost. Like a nightmare made real.Then, in the next breath, he was gone.I had stopped immediately, my heart slamming against my ribs, my body cold despite the heat of Jake's hands tangling in my hair, guiding me forward, completely unaware of what I had just seen.And the fact that I didn't even know if it was just my imagination or if it was even real added to my panic.I didn't give Jake the expected release he might have looked forward to. I had taken him high up to the sky and let him fall to the ground just like that. But, typical Jake... He was not even offended. Not even a flicker of frustration crossed his face when I pulled away, when I all but collapsed back onto the bed, shaking when I gave him something I'd consider half a release. Instead, he

    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

    KASMINE.The crowd grew still.I tilted my head back and stared up at the sky. The moon was almost there—gliding slowly and painfully toward the center of the heavens. It wasn't full tonight. Just a gentle crescent. But that didn't matter. Everyone knew—on your twenty-first birthday, the second the moon touched the center of the sky, the magic awakened. The wolf either came—or it didn't.My chest rose and fell quickly.Almost there.Almost.Then—It happened.A sharp, stabbing pain shot through my spine like lightning. My legs buckled. I hit the ground hard, knees slamming into the grass as my hands dug into the earth.A scream tore from my throat before I could stop it.It felt like fire was eating me from the inside out. Like my skin was being peeled, my bones shattered and glued back together wrong. I could hear them—cracking, shifting, snapping—over and over again like a thousand sticks breaking at once.I couldn't breathe.I couldn't even think.I was writhing and gasping, my body

    KASMINE."Hey babe," A voice sounded behind me as a warm hand wrapped around my waist from behind.I almost jumped out of my skin."Jake! You scared me!" I sighed, placing my hand against my chest.He chuckled softly, brushing a loose strand of hair from my face. "Why would you be scared in a hall full of people?" he teased, cocking his head with that soft smirk he always wore when he was trying to make me forget how broken things really were. "No one can hurt you here. Relax."I tried. I really did.He looked cute tonight, in that signature Jake style—white trousers, snug black T-shirt... Casual. Clean. Boy-next-door handsome. The kind of look that once made me feel butterflies just from catching his scent.Now? The butterflies were barely breathing. Limp-winged. Exhausted.I forced a smile. Forced the ache in my gut to turn into warmth, to find something—anything—in me that still fluttered for him."Cheer up, babe," he said gently, his thumb brushing the side of my arm. "You look go
