Lexi's pov
“YOU?!” They both proclaimed in blatant disgust. I wasn't pleased either but ignored them both as Lilly shooed them from my room by waving the feather duster at them and closed both doors.Clenching my fists, my jaw twitched as I turned to the housekeeper.“Sorry Miss, those two can be obnoxious and rude,” she commented.Nodding, I told her that I was very much aware.Lilly continued strolling through my room and pointed out the ensuite along with the door to my closet.“The Alpha had all your clothes pressed and hung for you when they arrived in boxes. All your bathing necessities are in the cabinet in the facilities. Dinner is at six each day and you are expected to be dressed appropriately. The Alpha is a stickler for promptness and etiquette,” she muttered and I raised my blonde brow.“So no elbows on the table and make sure to use the correct fork, that's what you are implying,” I asked in humor.Nodding briskly she told me, “ Oh yes, dear, you don't want to get on the Alpha's bad side nor his son's.Swallowing uncomfortably I exhaled and answered, “Gotcha.”“I will leave you so you can relax. If you need me for anything just use that pull cord on the wall there and I will come,” she asserted as she pointed at a length of velvet material with golden tassels on it.“Thank you, Lilly.”She smiled, nodded, and scurried from my room.Sitting on the edge of my bed I exhaled deeply.“Great, my new dad is a control freak and my step-siblings are my worst bullies. Mother what have you done to us,” I muttered and rubbed my eyes as memories of the evil brothers began flooding my brain.I knew them from my old pack house school…Nathan and Nolan Sparks were famous bad boys in my school. They are handsome of course and they never slept with the same girl twice, all the girls at my old school wished to date them at least once.I didn’t have much interest in the popular brothers, and neither did I feel they would have any interest in me since I was a typical nerd due to having my nose always buried in my textbooks.Until that fateful day when Rose asked me to help her take revenge on them both.“In hindsight, I should have refused,” I mused.Anyway Rose wanted to hook up with the two brothers again, but they were not interested in her but showed their interest in me presumably.Rose was angry because she thought she was much more pretty than I was, such a bitch.She told me that they dumped her after having a threesome and she wanted revenge. Asking me to please ask them out to the pack house bar. Since my mom waitressed there she figured that I could easily sneak in.It sounded like a stupid plan yet I followed through with it. When the brothers both agreed to meet me I was surprised.That night in the bar Rose secretly filmed the video of the two brothers being stood up and posted it on the Pack House School F******k page typing that I had stood up the two sparkling gemstones of the school.The two brothers thought this prank was done by me, so they started bullying me terribly.They were assholes and called me horrible names and spread rumors. Other students began following suit telling me I was stuck up and stupid if I thought I was better than the brothers. I became more introverted and just focused more on my schoolwork.Rose and I talked less and I became an outcast. She and I reconciled eventually but the gray cloud over me had never faded.Frowning over my thoughts I stood and headed into my walk-in closet.“Some crappy fairy tale, eh, Wolf,” I muttered to Nova.She huffed in my mind and remained silent.“You are lucky that you haven't any issues,” I snapped at her and got a low growl in reply.Rummaging through the clothes I had purchased with my mom I also noticed several other items that I knew I hadn't chosen.Taking out a short red cocktail dress my brow furrowed seeing the low neckline and high slits on both sides.“Pervert alert,” I muttered as I hung it back on the rack.Chewing on my lip I was curious about what my new stepdad considered proper attire.Finding a nice blouse and pair of dress pants I figured it was proper enough and went to change. It was already five forty and I was famished.“Hope I don't lose my appetite having to be in the presence of the sparkle brothers,” I snickered and entered my bathroom.Several minutes later I heard a knock at my door and went to open it.My mom stood there smiling and dressed in a stunning gown.“Wow, you look fabulous,” I commented as she laughed and did a full circle for me.“Johnathan asked me to wear it for dinner. He has fabulous taste,” she preened then glanced at what I was wearing.Suddenly pouting she asked me if I had a gown.“Nope, just an inappropriate cocktail dress that I wouldn't be caught dead in. This outfit is comfortable and will do,” I stated firmly.She shrugged and told me she was going to escort me to the dining room.Tucking my hand in hers we headed down the stairs and she filled me in on the layout of the main floor.Mentally I kept track of everything she was telling me as we entered the dining room and all the men were standing there waiting for us.“Boys this lovely young lady is your new step-sister, Lexi,” Johnathan announced. I gave them an awkward wave.I refused to even acknowledge their existence. Keeping my eyes from either of them I made my way to the empty chair I noticed.“Let me get that for you,” Nathan said through pinched lips.Glancing up at him as I sat I saw his eyes focused down my blouse and I scooted the chair from his hands and gave him a curt, “Thanks.”Nathan gave me a smirk and returned to his seat.The kitchen staff brought out the meal and everyone got their plates filled with succulent items.As I continued to ignore my step-siblings Johnathan asked me how old I was.“I'm seventeen sir and will turn eighteen in a couple of months,” I replied.He nodded and wiped his mouth with his cloth napkin.“Nathan and Nolan used to live with their mother at your old pack for a time, maybe you know each other or have met before,” he probed.Glancing up at both of them my brow creased and I shook my head not answering him with words and instead took a bite of my braised chicken.“You can go to my pack school Lexi, the boys can take you tomorrow since classes have resumed and you can finish your senior year here,” he added.Swallowing uncomfortably I nodded.“Okay sir,” I replied meekly.After dinner was finished I asked to be excused, planning to retreat to my room.“Honey, don't you want to spend time together with me and your new family,” my mom asked.Johnathan interrupted her and said, “ Jessica, she's already experienced enough, let her decompress.”Thanking him for understanding I hurried back to the safety of my room. Reaching the stairs I heard Nolan speak.“Lilly will wake you up in the morning so you will have ample time to get ready and we will transport you to the school.”Glancing over at him I nodded and continued up the stairs.Finding more clothing items in the wall-length dresser I went to change into some pajamas. It was still early but I wanted to be bright-eyed and fresh for my first day in my new classes.My bed was comfortable and soon I was sawing logs. Sometime during the night, I awoke with a dry mouth and wanted a glass of water.Checking for a clock I didn't see one in my room anywhere. Glancing out my window and seeing the night sky I figured it was too late to rouse Lilly.Scooting out of bed in a sleepy state I shuffled myself out of my room and used my wolf vision to find the kitchen.Being as quiet as I could I tiptoed past the guy's bedroom and hurried to the staircase.Finding the kitchen thanks to my mom's description I found a glass and filled it with ice water from the refrigerator.After washing the glass and returning to the cabinet I hurried back to my room.Sneaking into my room I closed the door softly and turned to return to my bed.The lamp on my nightstand flicked on and both Nathan and Nolan were standing in my room.“Thanks for the heads up,” I scolded my wolf Nova as I crossed my arms over my chest and eyed the pair.Lexi's pov“Look brother little Alexandria is that nerd, Lexi,” Nathan snarled. My heart was racing and my throat became dry again.“Leave my room. You both shouldn't be in here,” I protested as they eyed me with insensitivity. Turning toward the door I was going to leave but Nolan swung me around and pinned me against it instead.Running his finger down my neck, his lip curled.“Tell me Lexi, why didn't you tell your mom and my father that you were acquainted with us both and asked us to meet for a hook-up?”Looking up at his light brown eyes I shook my head.“I didn't want to hook up with either of you. It was for Rose. It's not my fault you both are man whores and screw anything that shows interest,” I asserted, causing Nathan to shove my shoulder into the molding of my doors. It hurt but I was seething from their accusations.“What if I told your father how his sons are just a couple of insensitive boy sluts that fuck and dump girls just for the fun of it,” I added with a hiss of
Lexi's povI spent the school morning with Mini and found her companionship refreshing. I also noticed that Sloan and I were in all of the same classes as well and the three of us were on our way to lunch when the shit hit the fan.Sitting at the table with my new friends Nathan came into the lunch room and spied me laughing with the Beta's son. Hearing growls coming from across the room I glanced up to see Nathan storming toward us with his fists clenched. When he grabbed Sloan by his shirt and jerked him to his feet I scrambled up and wedged myself between the pair.“What is wrong with you,” I snapped and glared at him seething with anger.He was panting heavily and stepped back releasing his hold on Sloan.“You will know exactly what is wrong once your birthday comes, little step-sister,” he snarled in response and I looked at him like he had gone rabid.“Well it's not for two months so back off me and my friends,” I warned and the entire room grew quiet. Glaring at me with his s
Lexi's povThe cloud of dust from them skidding to a stop billowed around me causing me to cough and sputter. My still damp hair, skin, and clothes were like a magnet to the dust and clung onto me.Wiping my eyes I heard Nathan who stopped the vehicle right beside me start berating me.“You smell like that bastard Lexi, were you off fucking the Beta’s nerd son?!’’“No, I'm not a whore like you,” I spat.Nolan had gotten out of the passenger side and handed me his shirt he had removed.“Use it to clean yourself,” he said firmly.Glancing at his tan, firm chest I thanked him as I used it to wipe off the dust covering my face.“You skipped Physics class but I covered for you,” he mumbled softly, bringing my eyes up to him.“Thank you, Nolan. I was just with Mini,” I explained and Nolan grinned.“You were with Sloan as well, I can smell them both on you,” he sighed and then hugged me.“What are you doing,” I muttered.“Hiding their scent, silly. Our dad’s senses are stronger than ours,” h
Lexi's povWaking up before Lilly invaded my domain I wiped the drool from my chin and sat up.Raising my hand to my hair I cringed.“I slept with damp air and have a rat nest on my head,” I groaned and hurried to take another shower.Drying off I heard Lilly calling out for me.“I'm just getting out of the shower,” I called back and heard her say, “Okay, miss.”Blow drying my hair I made a mental note of what I was going to wear. Once I finished I ran my naked self to my dresser to grab my panties and bra then headed to my closet. Choosing a pair of denim jeans and a plain t-shirt I dressed quickly and rushed down to the kitchen.Seeing the room empty I frowned but wasn't concerned. I often didn't have my mom home to greet me so it was nothing new. I just grabbed an apple from the bowl on the counter.Munching on the apple I tilted my head hearing laughter heading into the kitchen and raised my brow watching Nathan with that Courtney chick coming in.Nathan glared at me, turned her
Lexi's povOnce I opened the front door my mom was standing there grinning at me.“Johnathan is taking me to Vegas to get married tomorrow,” she exclaimed in excitement.“So you're going to be gone this entire weekend,” I asked her with less enthusiasm.She hugged me tightly and said, “ It will give you the chance to get closer to your new step-brothers.”Rolling my eyes I sighed.“Fantastic, Mom. I hope you have a great weekend.”“Oh, we will have a great month. We're going on our honeymoon afterward in Barbados for a month,” Johnathan stated and I swallowed uncomfortably.“Sounds good. I'm sure you both will have a fantastic time,” I answered seeing Nolan making faces at me behind his dad.Johnathan turned around and told us both to get presentable for our guests and I glanced at my mom in protest but she just nodded.“Wear the cocktail dress,” she said softly and I balked.“But mom!”“Don't argue with me Alexandria and do as you're told,” she asserted and I eyed her oddly.She had
Lexi's povNolan intercepted me and handed me a glass.“Drink this,” he offered.Furrowing my brow at him I tipped the glass and swallowed the contents then hissed from the burn.“What was that,” I sputtered as he laughed.“A hundred and twenty proof Moonshine,” he chuckled and I sneered.“I don't want to get wasted!”Still grinning at me he took the empty glass from my hand and placed it on a tray of a passing waiter.“Let's dance, Lexi,” he offered, lifting his hand out to me.Feeling the alcohol already dulling my senses my lip curled as I gave him my hand.“You did that on purpose,” I accused him.Pulling me against himself as he swayed he grinned.“What do you mean?”“Getting me buzzed,” I muttered.Instead of denying it it twirled me around and pulled me closer still.“I only meant to help you loosen up,” he smiled, causing my eyes to narrow.Feeling his fingers splayed out on my lower bare right hip I growled low as I pushed him away.“I'm going to find Sloan, he is not my step
Lexi's povThrowing on a t-shirt and nothing else I pressed my ear against the door to listen. Sloan did the same minus putting on a shirt.“I was looking for her and thought this was the first place I would check,” Nolan replied.“My mate better not be off screwing the Beta's son,” Nathan announced and I gasped. Panicked Sloan put his hand over my mouth and put his index finger to his lips.“Don't be a hypocrite brother I'm certain Courtney is spread out on your bed,” Nolan growled sourly.Chuckling Nathan said, “I have needs, and besides she is going to be your birthday gift in a couple of weeks.”Nolan grunted, “Yeah I get your used-up seconds.”Hearing shuffling feet it sounded like Nathan must have patted his brother's back. His next words burned me to my core.“I will be Alpha since I have found my mate first, don't be sour. You will find out yours on your eighteenth birthday just like Lexi will know that I am her mate on hers.”Shaking off Sloan’s hand covering my mouth I frown
Lexi's povGlancing down at my shorts and tee I looked at Sloan in worry.“Shift into your wolf if you get cold. Nolan told me you were gifted with the moonless shift like several others in this pack,” he said with urgency.Nodding, I stepped into the chilly room and watched while he went to the locking mechanism.“Hide behind the shelves where the light is low,” he grinned and gave me a thumbs-up.Going behind the farthest shelf stacked with wine bottles I glanced back to see that he had already gone up the stairs to open the door.Rubbing my arms I narrowed my eyes to see him return with both Nathan and Nolan. I gritted my teeth seeing the two wine glasses on the table. Furrowing my brow when Nolan slid one covertly around his arm that he propped on the tabletop.“He knows that I was with Sloan. I mean he is rubbing his nose and glancing around the room,” I muttered softly to my wolf.Nathan’s shouting could be heard through the tempered glass enclosure and I felt sorry for Sloan b
