My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 24
Liliana's POV I should have known mother nature and the universe still weren't on my side, no matter all the things I'd gone through. One would think that at least, maybe once in a while, I should be able to attest to something good happening to me, no matter how small that thing was. But no, I was just cursed with bad luck.If it wasn't bad luck, then tell me how my plan of escaping from Jason just had to fumble at the very last minute? I didn't have a lot of time to pull the best heist, but with the little I had done, it was sure to give me a one way pass to run out of here. All I needed was time, time that mother goddess had refused to give me.The loud thud on the cold tiles was all the proof I needed to know that Jason had fallen to the ground. I even had to peek to confirm this wasn't just imagining things, but maybe I shouldn't have done that. If I had known what could have happened in that time space of time, I would have definitely reconsidered. One minute I had just s
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 25
Jason's POV I always planned things, right from the very first step I would take, down to the finishing detail. That way, it was next to impossible to make mistakes or fuck anything up. If, down the line something does happen, then I'd have myself to blame for messing up something that has already been introduced in the plan. But did it always work? The answer was no. Because tell me why, after planning everything from the top to the bottom, someone's voice and probably presence was about to ruin it all for me.Mike.I had fought the urge to curse the moment I heard his voice at the top of the stairs. Somehow, he always managed to show up at the worst possible moment. At this point, it looked like his superpower. Showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time, just so he could ruin something that had been going well. Whether he was being intentional about it or not, I wasn't sure, but one day, just one day, maybe I was going to have a little chat with him about it.Mike was
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 26
Liliana's POV The chilly night air hit me square in the face, but I didn't stop. If anything, it spurred me to keep on running, even though I'd been doing that for the past couple of minutes now. I couldn't tell the exact time I'd spent running, I wasn't counting obviously, but I knew it was more than enough to make me feel tired.My joints ached and it reminded me just why I hated boots, heels or anything that wasn't flat. If I was wearing a pair of flats, then be rest assured I would have tossed one of them at Jason earlier in the garage. Why I hadn't was because of the following reasons, even though he was pissing the hell out of me, I didn't want to hurt him with the sharp end of my shoes and truthfully, I hadn't quite thought of this idea till I was already out in the open.A small sigh slid past my lips as I slowed down to a halt. My chest rose and fell, and a part of me felt like my heart was going to combust into a million pieces all at once. Beads of sweat lined my fore
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 27
Liliana's POV Nothing could have prepared me for Ciara's phone call. Or the message she had called to give rather. When my phone had first lit up in the dead of the night, my first instinct was to not pick it up. It was late after all, sng I had just managed to go to sleep. In the last couple of days, I'd been having trouble sleeping and it was all thanks to Mike and Jason. No matter how hard I tried to think about and forget it, I was always reminded of the fact that they both had something to do with it, whether indirectly or not.I was totally stumped on Jason's involvement. I knew he hated me, he never let an opportunity pass without letting me know how much I disgusted him, but was his level of disgust for me that high, that the first thing he wanted was for me to be expelled? It didn't even make any sense. We only had a handful of classes together and thanks to how popular he was, there was no way we were always together. The only times we interacted was when he walked up t
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 28
Liliana's POV Chatters rang in the air, filling each one of my eardrums with things I found unnecessary. Everywhere I turned, there was someone talking about something that had happened last night, how their dog had eaten her assignment, and even how she had spent an hour trying to get rid of a zit at the top of her nose. That wasn't all, there were more, more disgusting and gruesome thoughts the rest of my classmates regarded as the best topic for a discussion, but that wasn't the worst part. No matter how hard I tried, or which direction I turned, there was definitely something waiting for me to tune into, and I hated it.We were in the cafeteria for goodness sake, and we were supposed to be eating. Apparently, the notice that had been slammed at the entrance to the cafeteria on keeping the noise down didn't hold any waterPlease help me, goddess.It didn't help either that Ciara wasn't here. Unlike many of my classes, Ciara and I weren't taking the same electives. When she had
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 29
Liliana's POV My heart thundered in my chest. Of all the many ways all of this could have gone, I never saw this being the end result. I had thought of a plan, a good one, and since the beginning of the school day, I'd been diligent in sticking to it. It had been working, and I guess I should have taken it as a sign that something bad was about to happen. I should have started questioning my good luck streak, but instead I ignored it, and look where that had landed me.One would think that after a couple of minutes, my thundering heart would have at least calmed down a little. But it didn't. Instead, I couldn't help but feel like the vital organ was on the very edge of bursting through my skin.Jason's glare wasn't making things any easier. His eyes were trained on me, his blue orbs shining in their sockets. A million and one emotions ran through them, but I couldn't bring myself to focus on one. I was so scared I could feel my fingers trembling by my side and I hated it.If

Mike's POV I poured out the contents of the bottle in my hands into the empty glasses in front of me. I had barely poured the brown liquid up to half the height of the cup, when a loud voice pierced through.“Hey.” He let out, a sharp edge in his voice. “What the hell are you trying to do? I hope that half full glass isn't mine.”“Really?” I bit back, not bothering to hide the smirk that was slowly making its way to my lips. “If it's not yours, then whose is it?”“Yours.” I almost laughed at the almost childish look on his face. Like that wasn't already amusing enough, I could swear I saw a hint of a pout from the man in front of me. “ You can't give this to me, Mike.”“Relax, Jason.” I laughed and Jason snorted. He seemed slightly annoyed, but I couldn't care about that. “I was only messing with you. Here.”While making a show of it, I made sure to fill his glass to the brim, before doing mine and setting the bottle to the table.“Happy now?” I asked, before settling into the c
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 31
Valentina's POV Not a word slid past my lips as I took in all that Mike had just said. Truthfully, it sounded nothing less than the type of things I heard and had gotten used to, but for some strange reason, I couldn't shake off the fact that perhaps, Mike every word of what he'd just said this time.I stared at him, my eyes taking in every inch of his face. I needed to know what he was thinking. I wanted to know if he had meant it or not. He and Jason were literally two peas in a pod, so wasn't it awkward that he was bringing him up in a situation like this? To make it all worse, he was literally hanging Jason over my head.What was his problem exactly? One minute he was friendly and telling me that he was no longer restricting my freedom, and the next he was intruding and barging into my life all over again.“Did you hear me?” Mike's gruff voice was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. I blinked back a couple of times, before my eyes adjusted to the room again. “Tell me

Liliana's POV The clock on my bedside table rung loudly, and I sprung out of bed immediately. If I was being honest, I wasn't exactly sleeping. I had been awake for the past hour and I was only waiting for the alarm to go off. That way, not only did I have a reason to walk about the house, I was also sure that the very person I was looking for, was already awake.Mike.Even the mere thought of the man was more than necessary to erupt feelings I didn't like. They were all negative feelings, but no matter how hard I tried to shake it off, they just wouldn't budge.If there was one thing that refused to leave my mind, it was me and Mike's last interactions. It didn't leave my mind, and even after some days had passed, I still had vivid flashbacks of that little moment.“I love you, Liliana.” His words rang in my ear. “Why won't you listen to me?”I knew I was pretending to be unconscious when he had said that, but I always wish I could pretend it never happened. I had tried pushin
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 39
Liliana's POV A lot of things had been going wrong since I finally came around, but all of this was too much, even for me. I always heard that of you took a deep breath and tried to think things through, then you would come up with a logical solution for everything that had been happening. I should have known things that applied to everyone else wasn't exactly the same with me, and the fact that I always searched for a silver lining, was one of my biggest mistake, and I had just slipped up again.I stared at the man in front of me, a wave of emotions flashing on his face. I knew Mike wasn't the most straight forward person in the world, but this was a lot, even for me.When he had burst in here a couple of minutes ago, I hadn't expected it. If I was being honest, I legit thought he was going to storm into my room with someone else, Jason in particular. He was far from pleased when he realized I had called Jason. If I couldn't believe that I had called him either, how did I expect
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 38
Mike's POV I didn't want to, but I was already out of options at this point. Before doing it, my mind had whirled with a million and one other options, other things I could do instead of doing this, but no matter how hard I tried, I just wasn't able to come up with anything else. And like that wasnt frustrating enough, Liliana was being so damn stubborn.And I hated it.I stared at the young lady in my arms. Her eyes were closed, and as I stared at her, I watched her chest rise and fall ever so slowly. She was a peaceful little thing while she slept, and if that wasn't the biggest contrast to how stubborn she was while awake, then I had no idea what was.I ran a hand through her hair, the soft feel of her locs threading against my skin. I could get used to this, making her fall asleep in my arms, but no matter how much I wanted it, it didn't change the fact that it was only a far fetched dream.My eyes slid to her face, and for a minute, I was reminded of the little scene that ha
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 37
Liliana's POV A small groan was the first thing that slid past my lips the moment I came around. I wasn't fully awake,but that did nothing to lessen the pain that spread throughout my body. My eyes were pressed shut, and as a couple of seconds ticked by, I realized something; I didn't necessarily want to open my eyes. At least not now.I had no idea what the moon goddess had in store for me, but one thing was clear. Whatever it was, I needed to go through a certain amount of pain before it unfolded. I was barely recovering from gaining consciousness all over again, when something hit me in the sides. An intense jolt spread through my body. Accompanied by an even more intense blast of heat, I almost thought I had been left at the bottom of a volcano just waiting to erupt.I felt beads of sweat slide down my face, but that wasn't all. A dull ache nagged at me from the back of my skull and I could swear I was this close to exploding. For some strange reason, I couldn't feel my limbs,
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 36
Liliana's POV My heart thundered in my chest throughout the journey home. No matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't calm down. I even did a number of breathing exercises ranging from counting from one to a certain number, and even counting the many cars that sped past us on the road, but nothing was working. I even tried meditating and ignoring the problem at hand.Maybe if I kept on with it for so long, the problem would disappear. Perhaps, if I pretended that all of what had happened in the hospital ward was nothing but a hallucination, all of it would disappear. I pressed my eyes shut, willing everything to go away. I had no idea how, but maybe if I kept my eyes closed for too long, it would actually work.I wasn't exactly sure how much time I had spent with my eyes closed, but a small part of me knew it was a lot. I had pressed my eyes shut the moment Mike had pulled me out of the hospital ward. I couldn't even bring myself to look at him in the face. He had grabbed onto my hand
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 35
Liliana's POV My mind whirled with a million and one questions and thoughts. They were all mumbled up and jumbled together, but one thing stood out perfectly fine. The fact that I was in trouble, or about to be, rather.I stared at the young man in front of me. It has been over an hour since he gulped down the glass of milk I had offered him. Over an hour since a blanket of red rashes spread across his skin. Not only that, his nose had taken on a sickly shade of green, and his eyes, they were puffy and almost red. If I didn't know better, I would have said they were on the verge of popping out from his skull.Actually, I didn't know better, so what if they were about to burst from his eye sockets?I shook my head, but it did nothing to push the fear and worry I was feeling. Anxiety swirled in the pit of my stomach, and no matter how hard I tried to get a hold of it, it didn't work. I was nervous, nervous because the probability that I was going to be arrested for murder seemed t
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 34
Liliana's POV I hadn't even thought it through before pressing my lips against his. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that if I gave it too much thought, the chances that I was going to chicken out of actually doing it were high, and I was only going to regret not taking my chance, sooner or later.I didn't want to be the girl to regret, so I acted without thinking. I pressed my lips against Jason's.Unlike the former kisses we had shared, this one was different, and I could already tell the moment our lips touched each other. While the others were rushed with intensity slipping in and out of our mouths, this was the complete opposite. It was warm and slow, and it made my stomach churn. In a good way of course.Not only that, his touch was gentle, and I found myself leaning into him. Unlike the Jason I knew, or more specifically, the Jason that adored his wild kitty, his kiss warmed me up from the inside, and what made it all the more worth it, was the fact that it wasn't in any
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 33
Liliana's POV For the next couple of minutes, I stood rooted to my spot. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't bring myself to move. It was said that a tiny part of the brain was in charge of each and every movement that went down in the human body. Without that part, or if it were to be slightly damaged, then there was no way you would be able to move a finger, talk more of your entire body.As I struggled to figure out why I couldn't move, a tiny thought made its way to my mind.Had my brain shut down somehow? But if it had, how was I still able to stand and even think?I had barely asked myself that question before something else popped up in my mind. It was an answer to my question, and somehow, it didn't exactly make me feel better.I was in shock.If a sorcerer had come here a couple of minutes back to tell me all that would play out after my little sparring session with Jason, then best believe I was going to laugh my head off.I willed the thoughts to disappear, but
My Stepbrother Vs My Fated Alpha Chapter 32
Liliana's POV The moment I stepped into the school hallway, my gaze landed on the small group of people gathered in the corner. It was a Monday morning, and honestly, it was a sore sight, even for me to see. On most Mondays, most students miled about in the hallways, each and everyone eager to get to their classes. They never missed their first classes, but with the crowd gathered just in front of me, I wasn't sure the first class was even going to hold.My ehes glanced around the hallway, and a small wave of sadness washed over me when I didn't see Ciara. She was my backbone when it came to things like this and I hated not having her around. Were she here, she would have already figured out why the other students were gathered at the corner and what they were looking at. Now that she wasn't here, how the hell was I going to find out what was going on now?I hovered around in my spot for a couple more minutes, waiting for them to leave. The goddess must have heard my prayer beca
