My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 24 : It's Me
Elsie’s POV"Elsie ..." I turned my gaze in another direction as I faintly heard someone's voice calling me. Then I kept walking when I felt that it was just my hallucination."Elsie..." but the voice came back and was even clearer than before.I turned my face back. "Atlas?... is that you?" I searched for the origin of the voice but found no one there.Strange, then where did the voice come from if people were far enough away from me? A moment later, I could feel something approaching. There was a pressure that made my instincts kick in and alert me.I looked around and tried to calm down while concentrating on my strength to fight back. Then, when I felt that he was approaching, I raised my hand and prepared to attack even though I probably wouldn't win."Elsie, it's me." Now that I recognised that voice, he was standing right before me.I opened my mouth involuntarily and let out a sigh. "Prof. Seth?" I was amazed, but because of the sight of him, my caution dropped.He smiled and
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 25 : Call My Name
Elsie’s POVHe wants me to call him by name only? Without any professor frills? How convenient.I was one of his students, and he was the professor who taught me, so there was a gap. There was no way I could just call him by name.Allowing myself to become too familiar by negating our status would go too far. I should still treat him with respect."I obviously can't do that prof. You're a teaching professor. It would be rude of me to just call you by name." Is it possible that he feels very familiar with me? But still, what would others think if they found out I called her by name only?I can imagine people would scoff at me, and then not only Atlas fans would bully me but also those who admire Professor Seth.Prof. Seth looked at me with a slight tilt of his head. He tried to look at me more appropriately. "Yes, I understand what you mean. But I mean that when the two of us meet and talk like this, you can treat me as your friend instead of as a professor who teaches." He explained f
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 26 : What About Me?
Elsie's pov"Then what happened? What do you mean that he might be forced with his father?" Seth looked confused.I was just as confused as Seth right now. I wasn't sure about the part where his father might have forced Atlas. Because from what I saw, Harry didn't seem to care.Even behind my back, I doubt if they were talking about it. Since Harry didn't seem like a bad parent to Atlas, they seemed to have a reasonably normal relationship.I sighed softly, citing the leaves that fell around my feet. "It's a long story. Are you sure you want to listen?" My body, slightly bent over from picking up the leaves, turned comfortably towards him, and I saw Seth smiling."I have plenty of free time to listen about you, or maybe you don't want to tell me?" His face changed slightly as if he seemed to realize the wrong thing. "You don't have to force yourself to tell me then." He smiled a little, his eyes that looked like young wood, looked warmly and understandingly at me.Seth is indeed a per
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 27 : He's Always On His Own
Elsie's POVI could hear Atlas' footsteps getting closer to me, and then, in the next split second, he touched my hand, slipping between my fingers and grasping it.I didn't like that strange feeling, and I didn't want to let him touch me, so I tried to push his hand away, but I was no match for Atlas' strength.Atlas' hand didn't budge at all when I raised my hand and threw it away. Atlas remained where he was, gripping me tightly with his hands.I lifted my chin, looking up at him. My eyes stared sarcastically at him while Atlas seemed unconcerned. "What are you doing, Atlas?" I scrunched up my face before him, making it clear that I didn't like what he was doing.Atlas lowered his gaze, directing it right at me. I don't know what was going through Atlas' mind, he looked even colder than before, while at the same time looking annoyed. "You seem to have forgotten that I'm your mate, Elsie," he spoke in a low yet heavy and disturbing tone to the ears.Hearing and seeing his attitude I
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 28 : A New Life
Elsie’s POVI left the training camp after arguing with Atlas. Some were still there and continuing their training, but I didn't care.I guess it seemed like I was already allowed to go home since the main training was over. I don't know, I don't care. After all, the young werewolves practicing earlier did not look as much as before."If Harry's going to be angry, let him be angry." I'll take my chances. I don't want to be there anymore.Atlas or Rory, dealing with them only ended up making things more complicated for me. I'm not asking them to be nice to me. I realize that's an impossible feat, but I hope they don't make it harder by pressuring and frustrating me.Dealing with Atlas always involved physical contact and thoughts. It made me sick and tired. While Rory made my head and chest ache with his desires."He doesn't make any sense. Who does she care about? Why has she never even been on my side?" I kicked a drink can lying on the road.I walked quickly, keeping up with my shad
My Step-Brother, My Bully chapter 29 : You Wrong
I put the bread I baked on the table. I didn't really have the appetite to eat at the moment. Even though I secluded myself in this place, my head wasn't exactly calm with the burden of thoughts.I lifted my gaze toward the empty corner of the room, looking around for something that might distract me and make me think of something else that could make me frantic, but not thinking about her."Isn't your attitude too childish Elsie?" Rory's voice appeared in the middle of my attempt to take my mind off everything about Atlas.I knew what Rory would talk to me about. The only thing she would talk about was Atlas. For Rory, Atlas is clearly more important than me.Rory was sending signals to me to listen to her. Even without her asking, I couldn't cover my ears, so I wouldn't listen to her. That's impossible."Stop being unreasonable and realize what's going on, Elsie." She sounded frustrated. But I was more pressed than her in this situation, so it felt really unfair that I had to listen
My Step-Brother, My Bully chapter 30 : One-on-One Time
"Not to the cafeteria near the campus?" I turned to Seth after watching where he was taking me.Seth turned his head at a glance. "There's some hidden place I just met. I want to take you there."Hidden place? I stared at my surroundings indecisively. The street did not seem like a hidden place at all. It could be called an exposed place instead.There were many students whom I had seen in the campus area. They were staring at me as usual, giggling quietly while occasionally turning to me with their annoying gazes.Their gazes sent signals of caution and anticipation through me, and my chest started to pound from the attention I didn't need. It felt so strange that they never finished with me, as if no other topic was more enjoyable for them."This is it!" Seth pointed to a cafe that looked warm with its natural feel, like a greenhouse cafe.Seth and I went inside. I didn't pay attention to what Seth was doing. He seemed busy making me comfortable by pulling out a chair and talking to
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 31 : Why Is He Angry?
Elsie's POV I hurriedly disentangled myself from Seth, feeling clumsy because I suddenly fell into his arms. I nodded my head. "I'm fine." looking in the other direction to regain my composure. As I did so, my eyes caught someone on the other side.Atlas?What is he doing here? It's not like he's busy with pack activities, and Harry has been keeping him at the training camp longer lately.My breath caught in my throat as those calm blue eyes stared at me intently. From afar, I could see Atlas' jaw seemed to harden. I averted my eyes from him, pretending not to know. As my eyes shifted, I saw a woman get out of Atlas' car.Who is that woman? Why did she get out of Atlas' car?Atlas had never been seen close by a woman before, but why now?What was I thinking? I shook my head and looked the other way. If Atlas seems to be with a woman, that's good for me.The existence of that woman may help Atlas stay away from me. If she does, then I will be very grateful to her. But strangely, I fel

My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 135 : The Truth Uncovered
Elsie's PovI stared at the man fiercely. No...no, Atlas can't think that this is his son. I don't want that man to feel that way. No matter how much I don't want to trust him anymore, I will stick to my previous decision.I shook my head, pushing him back from in front of me. "No, it's not. You already know that this is Seth's child!" I denied it loudly, but Atlas didn't believe my words.He shook his head sluggishly. "I'm sure you're telling a lie. The baby in your womb, he responded to me." Atlas fixed his eyes on my stomach, making me grab it and cover it from him. "He became calmer when I got closer to him, and your condition improved. It's like he's talking to me through the bond. I feel it!" Atlas exclaimed, coming closer to me with his gaze fixed firmly on me, not letting me escape him.I tried to break away from him, pushing him away, but my efforts were in vain. "What are you thinking? Just because this baby is calmer, you think he's yours?" I tried to turn the tables by say
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 134 : Traitor
Atlas PovSo he was the one who gave the wolf bane to Donna? But he probably didn't know anything. It could be that, just like Donan, prof Awkson was perhaps the one being used.However, finding Awkson to be the one involved seemed to further narrow down the people who were also involved."So my suspicions were well-founded, suspecting Seth was the right thing to do," I muttered seriously, keeping watch all night in that place.Now I'm just waiting for the right moment to go inside and meet with Elsie. But damn, Seth hadn't moved from his spot in days.He remained in the house, and that made me very upset. "This isn't normal. How could he be home for so many days? Does she have absolutely nothing else to do? There's no way an unemployed person like that would agree to be responsible for someone, let alone a baby. He must have some other identity he's hiding so money isn't a problem for him."My suspicions grew daily, and I became increasingly reluctant to leave, leaving Elsie, who cou
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 133 : His Partner
Atlas' POVI sighed heavily, pulling my car door open, then getting inside and slamming it shut. Again, even after being inside and watching them from a distance, I still felt annoyed.I was annoyed by various things. So far, I felt like I was being played and tortured at the same time. My feelings became so chaotic when I saw Elsie holding her stomach pain in the hospital. I followed her from behind and was full of anxiety. I was angry because even though I saw her, I couldn't do anything. I could only follow her from behind, hoping that she was okay.I closed my eyes while exhaling a heavy breath that pressed against my chest with an unrelenting weight. "Why do I have to experience such a horrible thing?" I covered my face with my palms and rubbed them back. Of the many difficult things I've experienced in my lifetime, this was the first time I felt so helpless.I didn't understand why, among millions of people, I had to be chosen to undergo this kind of fate. Why did I get bad luck
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 132 : He Is Powerfull
Elsie's PovI looked out with a carefree feeling. What was previously weighing on my heart and mind seemed to be lifted thanks to my gaze being distracted by what passed before my eyes. As Seth's car passed by, I saw many things.The sight of the bustling city and the many large buildings built along the way comforted my eyes and quieted my mind. I had been thinking about many things for a while, and the noise in my head suddenly disappeared, becoming quieter as I watched my surroundings bustling with people."Is it this crowded, Seth? I don't recall it being the weekend." I turned my head towards Seth, who was also looking out the window.From the crowded place, I wondered what they were doing, where they were going, and what they felt as they walked down the street in the middle of the crowd, mingling with others.Could it be that they felt free? Did they think lighter by enjoying their lives, or did they feel shackled by what they were doing? Among them, some were walking with only
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 131 : A Walk
Elsie's Pov"So you're sure this isn't a contraction or something?" I looked at Seth. Even though the expression on his face looked grim and gloomy, he still asked and confirmed my condition, overriding what he felt.The doctor approached and checked my pulse quietly. It seemed not to confirm what Seth asked but because he just needed to check. "No, it's still not labour yet. If it's normal labour, it seems it will still take a while." he turned towards Seth, then later patted the man's shoulder. "You don't need to be that worried. This kind of cramps will probably appear several times during pregnancy, but stay calm, as it's nothing serious."Seth exhaled and looked at me with relief, though his eyes still didn't seem back to what they were before. "Let it go, then. I'll take her home." Seth approached me, helped me get up from where I was lying and sat me in the wheelchair.Before leaving, Seth approached the doctor, who wrote something on paper. Then he held his head and looked at
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 130 : Their Heart
Elsie's PovEven though I had previously avoided Seth's suspicions of me, and I had also tried to organise my mind to trust Seth, I didn't understand why I still doubted what had happened or why I still doubted that he was someone I knew.I still doubted that what Seth did had anything to do with what Atlas said. My eyes realised his sincerity, realised his feelings for me weren't an ordinary mask, but my intuition for him didn't make me calm.Day after day, I was troubled by my growing suspicion of him. I, who tried to ignore what I felt, finally could no longer ignore my feelings for him. I felt restless, and my desire to keep my mind calm for the sake of the baby in my womb was no longer able to keep it calm.Even though I tried my hardest, I could no longer dismiss the suspicion towards Seth that kept growing inside me. I wanted to keep trusting him and hoping that he was exactly what I had seen, but I couldn't do it. I can't think like that anymore.If I'm a hybrid, then that mea
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 129 : Follow Me
Elsie's povWhat was he doing? Why did he suddenly come back? Didn't she leave earlier? I didn't understand. My eyes looked at him in surprise while Seth looked at me in confusion."Seth, why did you come back?" I ventured to ask him. Staring at him with the fear in me that I tried to hide. "Didn't you go out earlier?"Why did he suddenly come back? Did he know what I was about to do? Could he be starting to suspect that I knew what he would do? How is this? What should I do?Seth walked closer. I, sitting on the floor near the row where his books were lined up, stared while holding my breath.He walked steadily closer, then stopped on the floor where I was sitting, near a drawer. "I came back because I left something behind." He pulled the drawer out and then took out a light brown file. I watched silently, with my breath trying to escape. Then he looked back at me. "And you alone, Elsie? What are you doing in my room?"I gulped the saliva in my throat nervously. My heart felt like i
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 128 : Uncomfortable Feeling
Elsie's pov"Where are you going, Seth?" I asked Seth, who was getting ready by putting on his shoes.I looked into his eyes intently after he turned to me as soon as I asked him.Seth smoothed the laces on the light brown formal shoes he was wearing. He turned his head silently to me for a moment. "I have something to buy outside, and then I want to meet someone." He looked at me, somewhat confused.I came closer to him. For some reason, I wanted to prove what Atlas had told me that day. I didn't want to keep harbouring suspicions about him, so I'd better quickly find out what Seth might be hiding from me. "Can I come?" I looked at him expectantly. "How about we do the shopping later and meet your friend first?" I suggested it to him.For all I knew, if it wasn't anything suspicious or anything like that, Seth would never object to me following him, and he wouldHe did as I asked and was patient as always. However, one thing made it necessary for her to act otherwise.He looked doubt
My Step-Brother, My Bully Chapter 127 : Back home
Elsie's PovI stared blankly at what Seth was busily preparing for me, my mind completely distracted with what he might do. I can no longer trust him completely like I used to.I'm not sure what he gave me now is safe. I didn't understand which one I trusted more between him and Atlas, but feeling the way my heart thumped around him and how I responded while being around Atlas, I believed that something wrong was indeed happening.If my feelings are already like this, then I should be wary. If later this proves to be just a suspicion, I will punish myself for suspecting him and apologise to him, while in the meantime, I will be wary of his attitude.I'm sorry, Seth, but I just want safety for myself, especially since the situation lately is very complicated, and I don't want to take any risks."Sit down. Why are you just sitting there?" He smiled softly, as was his habit in front of me.I gazed at that face with observing eyes. I stared at her intently, trying to find a crack at what
