We got home, and Nathan left the car immediately without saying anything, not that I was expecting him to say anything.

Preston and I entered the house and just as we were about to alight the stairs, we saw Kayden who was coming down from the stairs, and as soon as he noticed us he turned around. I had a strong feeling that he had been avoiding me since what happened in his car.

“Kayden ……” Preston tried to call him.

“I am busy” he replied not looking back as he left

“He had been behaving strangely, don't you think” Preston whispered to me and I just nodded in response.

“He said it's because of a girl”

“A girl” I choked out.

“Despite being a playboy he never likes any girl and I don't think anyone can have this kind of effect on him,” Preston said as he climbed up the stairs.

I realized where this was getting to, was I the cause of his strange behavior., it wouldn’t be because of the kiss. I tried to reassure myself.

“I need to use the restroom,” I told Preston as I ran up the stairs,

    I tried to steady my breath, I knew this was a stupid idea. Preston was an Alpha and he could easily detect my scent. I tried to stabilize my heartbeat in hopes that he would not notice, but I knew he would.I heard the door open and a pair of feet padded across the room.“You would have just told me you brought a girl over” Preston gave a disgruntled sigh.“You just have a habit of entering my room without permission” “You said you were asleep, who the hell talks when they are sleeping except you do sleep talk” I had expected Preston to notice I was here but I was surprised he did not.“And seeing that you are still here, would you want a threesome?” Kayden suggested and I hit him from under the sheets. I felt Preston’s gaze on the sheets like they were trying to bore a hole into the sheets.“Stop bringing up ridiculous ideas, I don’t want that and neither does she. if you are busy we can talk tomorrow” I heard Preston say as walked back to the door.“Your loss” Kayden was just tryi

    “No,” I stated firmly.“But I asked for permission” he sulked“And I refused”Kayden was persistent and so was I. He was like a Lovesick puppy who wanted a pat from his owner.We finally got into his car and went on our date. I was surprised he did not urge me to change my clothes, I was feeling uncomfortable in the sweaty outfit sticking to my skin.We got to the restaurant, and I wasn’t expecting it to be so fancy, it was like a five star restaurant.I was staring at the restaurant for so long that I had not noticed when Kayden had gotten down from the car and opened the door for me.“Thank you” I replied and he gave the valet his car keys.If I entered this restaurant dressed like this, I was going to look like a girl he picked from the street to have dinner with him.I noticed Kayden was looking at me, he had that look on his face that says ‘I told you so’.I knew he wanted me to change my mind and have a change of clothes but I will not.“What are you waiting for, let’s go”“Are

    My eyes almost bulged from their socket, I was expecting another kind of reaction from him, not this.“Wha…. What do you mean” I asked, acting oblivious.He smiled “The stunt you pulled today, I knew you did everything intentionally”“Except for getting your clothes stained with wine”“So you admit it” he smirked and I realized what I had just said.“It’s not what you think”“Please enlighten me”“I ….. just …. had to …. find a way for you to lose interest in me” I am sure he was having fun with the way I could not even make a sentence with my jumbled words.“Is it because of my confession”I nodded slightly.He chuckled, “I don’t plan on trying to stop liking you and no matter how silly you act, you just make me grow fond of you” he moved a strand of hair that was standing idly on my face to the back of my ear “ and I don’t plan on forcing you to reciprocate my feelings” his hands rested on the car beside my head “I also think you should stop trying to make me not like you, do you un

    Kai stared at me waiting for an explanation as I looked around looking for the white haired guy that was here a moment ago.“You better give me a good explanation as to why you are here” he thundered and I stepped back at how menacing he sounded.“Go easy on her would you” Preston emerged from the woods and walked towards me, placing his hands around my shoulder.“Are you hurt?” he asked and I shook my head while looking at Kai from the corner of my eyes.“Just ignore him. Are you hungry?” the ever so sweet Preston asked.I smiled and nodded.Kai sighed “Stop indulging her Preston”“Says the guy who ravaged the pack trying to find her” Hearing Preston’s reply, I looked up at Kai surprised and I expected him to deny it.“Don’t get thoughts in her head” he replied calmly as he walked away.“Come on now, the boys are waiting” Preston held me as he led me out of the woods.Preston was really a life saver, I was sure Kai was ready to chop my head off with the way he was glaring at me.We d

    “Nice to meet you” she smiled at me as she brought her hand forward for a handshake.I only smiled awkwardly as I took her outstretched hand.“I look forward to working with you” she kept on faking her smile.“Jane please take Amber to change her clothes, she will start working immediately and by the way, you look stunning today” Mr Baldwin commentedShe giggled “Thank you, Mr Baldwin” I almost cringed at their interaction; this wasn't just a boss worker relationship.“Come on Amber” she winked at Mr Baldwin as she left and I followed her.She led me to another room, which was only for the female workers.She took a black apron from the rack and a name tag.“This would be your work uniform”I took it from her “Thank you”. I was about to put on the apron when she held my hand abruptly.“Don’t act like you don't remember me” she seethed “It seems Alpha Kayden got tired of you, and now you have to fend for yourself. You better watch your back” Her eyes glowed as she released my hand be

    “I am really sorry” I slightly bowed my head “If you don’t mind I will replace your meal” I apologized ignoring my throbbing cheek.I was about to grab the plate from the table, but he suddenly threw the plate to the floor.“Are you trying to mock me” he thundered “The service here is really bad, I need to see the manager”It seems anything I do right now would only infuriate him, I just apologized and he said I am trying to mock him.“The manager will be here shortly, so please don’t be mad, I apologize on my co-worker’s behalf, she is new to all of this” It was June who spoke up, anyone seeing her right now would think she sounded sincere, but it was obvious she just wants to point out that I was wrong because I was a new worker though I have been here for two weeks.“Making a new worker serve me just shows how disrespectful you are, do you know who I am” he raised his tone as he spoke “I want to see the manager immediately”“I am really sorry for my worker’s incompetence” Mr Baldwi

    It has been two weeks since I started working in the diner and none of the Alphas have ever come to the diner. It was Kai’s rule for all the brothers to keep a distance from me at my workplace, and seeing Preston standing at the entrance of the diner was surprising.The workers that had all gathered dispersed, and everyone went back to eating their meal, there was tension in the air as Preston stood in front of the troublesome customer who was standing at the entrance of the diner“Al..ph…aa…” He stuttered as he stepped back, away from Preston.“Alpha Preston” Mr. Baldwin quickly stepped in, smiling wildly as he approached Preston “Welcome to my diner” “Diner?” he scoffed “It looks more like a war house” his eyes darted to the troublesome customer who had insisted that I had put hair in his meal.Mr Baldwin chuckled nervously “It was just a little misunderstanding, and he was just leaving, aren’t I right?” He asked the troublesome customer who quickly nodded and scurried away from th

    My heart palpitated as I stood in front of his door, I took a deep breath and was about to knock when I heard a voice behind me.“What are you doing here” I swirled around to see Kayden standing in front of me.“Erm… I came to see you” I tried not to stumble on my words.“And I do not want to see you” he walked around me and entered his room, closing the door to my faceI just stared at the door flabbergasted, how was I going to apologize to him if he kept ignoring me?I mind linking him, but he blocked me out.I leaned closer to the door “Kayden” I called out his name but there was no response. “I know you can hear me,” There was still no response from him.I heard a voice coming from down the hallway.“Amber Amber” It was Fiona screaming my name, I hadn't seen her since after the ball.“Oh my poor baby” she got to me and pulled me into a hug. “I heard what happened” she patted my back trying to comfort me.“I am fine” I tried to release myself from the hug, “Are you sure” she frown

    We got to the pack house where Alpha Conrad was waiting in front of his car with his Beta as we approached them.Kai and Preston had decided to see me off, while I knew that Preston was going to be here, I least expected Kai.He was in a really good mood this morning making me wonder why, last night his attitude was different and made me think he would not want to see me at all.We got to where Alpha Conrad was standing and he was grinning from ear to ear.“Alpha Kai, Alpha Preston” he acknowledged. There Was no response from Preston but Kai replied.“It’s good to see you Alpha Conrad” he replied, making everyone turn to him.Preston was staring at him like he had grown an extra head.“The feeling is mutual” he then turned to me “It’s good to see you also Amber”I just forced a smile at him.“You know, I found out why you were scared of me on our first encounter” he stepped closer to me, and Preston took a defensive stance.Kai just leaned back, waiting for what he was going to do nex

    I was trapped beneath Kai as his lips covered mine. I don’t know what was happening, but he was acting strange, and compared to the kiss we shared earlier today, this seemed rough.He suddenly raised his head and cursed loudly before suddenly leaving the room, closing the door with a loud bang.I was left confused, everything that happened was in a blur, one minute he was kissing me and the next he was storming off.I was too stressed to think about anything and the room felt stuffy.I left Kai’s room, knowing that I was not going to be needed.I decided to go outside for some air and try to clear my head, everything that has been happening to me has been occurring in haste that I never really had time to comprehend.These last few days had been pretty eventful and to top it all I was going to be leaving this pack tomorrow.I got outside and was surprised to see Nathan sitting on a log, I did not feel like talking with any of the brothers right now, hell I could not even face Nathan.

  • My Alpha Stepbrothers   48. Accepting The Bond

    The silence in the room was deafening, the surprised look on everyone’s faces did not go unnoticed, Alpha Conrad was more shocked than everyone, I am sure he was already convinced that I wouldn’t accept the mate bond.Kayden suddenly erupted in laughter “You almost got us there”.“I am accepting the mate bond,” I said again and I think everyone was convinced that I was serious.Sitting in this room made me realize why my mother had not taken action to avenge our pack, if she had done that she would have war between the crescent pack and the dark moon pack leading to lots of casualties and deaths of people who know nothing about the feud.This was the only decision I could make, I had to keep my enemy closer to be able to strike and this was the only way.Accepting the mate bond will not grant me access to the blood moon pack, it will also make it easier with the kind of authority I was going to get from accepting the mate bond.“What are you talking about, you are going to agree to be

    I wondered why Preston would need both of us. “You don’t have to look disappointed, we can continue this next time” he teased. I glared at him, shoving his chest as I got up and was about to leave not wanting to spare a glance at him. “You may want to know why Preston is looking for you” I ignored him, it was better I asked Preston myself. “Your mate is here” He answered disregarding my unresponsive attitude. I froze hearing what Kai had said. The last thing I wanted to do was meet with the man I was repulsed by. Once again I could feel the pain in my chest as anger bubbled inside me. “Amber” I did not notice that Kai was now standing in front of me, he placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him. “As much as I don't want you to meet him, Preston and I thought that it would be best if you sort this out with him” He was right, though I had always wanted to exact revenge on the person who orchestrated the demise of my pack. I had never expected that person to be my

    I was quiet throughout breakfast. Kayden, Matteo, and Marcus kept on talking about Kai after he left trying to recall which of the girls they had seen with Kai last night. I could hardly eat, and although Preston was paying the least attention to me, I was still being paranoid, I wondered what he thought of me. I just tossed my food around my plate lost in thought. As soon as I noticed Preston was done with breakfast and was leaving I quickly excused myself and followed him. “Preston” I called after him when he was at the foot of the stairs. He stopped abruptly and turned to me. As our eyes met, flashbacks from yesterday popped up in my head and I tried to brush it off. I stood in front of him, and I did not know where to start. “I am sorry about yesterday” I blurted out mindlessly. His gaze urged me to continue what I wanted to say as though he was lost. “About the kiss last night” I added and he only hummed in response. “I did not intend for anything to happen, I am really

    I tried to pry his mouth open with my lips but he did not budge, I ground my body against him and deepened the kiss, suddenly, I got a response from him, and he started kissing me. I was living in the moment as I sucked on his button lips, and my upper lips were in his mouth. Our lips moved together, as I parted my lips and I felt his tongue slide into my mouth. I moaned, feeling myself becoming wet, I was hot and I really wanted more. His tongue was exploring my mouth and my tongue touched his also as they entwined with our lips continuously moving. He slid his tongue on my lower lips, and nibbled on it, sucking it and tugging on it as it was in his mouth, I could only moan into the kiss as he shoved his tongue once again into my mouth. I wanted more, I removed my hands from around his neck and went to his shirt, unbuttoning it. I was at the fourth button, my hands tracing his chest when he suddenly held my hand stopping me, and withdrew from the kiss. “We will be stopping he

    My head was in turmoil, and amidst my euphoric feeling, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, I could hardly breathe, and I clutched my chest as I was overwhelmed with a different kind of feeling, pain, anger, resentment. “Amber, Amber” I suddenly realized that Kai was holding me and calling out my name. “Amber, try to breathe,” Kai shouted as I gasped for air clutching my chest. Tears flowed down my cheeks and I felt like I would pass out from my overriding emotions. I felt Kai hugging me as he pulled me close, and rubbed his hand on my back trying to calm me. I tried to breathe as I was in his embrace, and could finally get air to pass through my lungs. But I could not stop myself from crying and neither could I stop the pain I was feeling. “What happened” I could make out Preston’s voice as I was still in Kai’s embrace, clutching onto his shirt not wanting him to let go of me, not also wanting to face my mate. “Alpha Kai, Alpha Preston” I heard his voice giving me gooseb

    We got to the ball, and I was awed by how people filled the large hall. I have never attended any ball, so this was breathtaking, I can't believe I almost missed this. Fiona held my hand “Your mate awaits” She dragged me into the hall as I admired the intricate designs and the ray of colors coming from everyone's clothes. Kayden was beside us, so it was easy to get through the ground as everyone greeted him and made way for him. Everything was going smoothly for Kayden until the ladies noticed him and crowded him trying to get his attention, making him end up separating from us. “Don’t go too far” Kayden mindlinked me. “I won’t,” I replied to him. “We’ve finally gotten rid of him” Fiona laughed as she dragged me away “You know, most ladies from other packs don't really come here to find their mate” “Why, I thought everyone comes to the mating ball to find their mate” I asked confused. “They do, but not everyone, I am sure you know that the brothers don't have a mate, somethi
