Lucian's POV

I heaved a long sigh and kissed my teeth in rage.

I called Evelyn's uncle's threat a bluff, but it turned out he was serious.

Now I knew the danger that I'd gotten into, saving Evelyn. Now I knew how vicious her old man was, and I knew that there was no coming out of this without someone dying.

“How much did he pay you?”

“I… I can't release that information-”

The amount of pressure I made on his wound made him scream in unimaginable pain until he couldn't take it anymore.

“Okay!! Okay!! I'll tell you!! He paid us half a million, but he didn't pay us personally. We were paid through one of his gang members.

“So he has a gang?”

“Yes… he's the head of the Blackops cartel. The whole family works in dirty blood.”

I tried to digest the information, along with the realization that this wasn't going to get easy.

“I've told you what you want, just please… let me go! Please!!”

“In your next life, be careful of the kind of profession you choose.”

“Please!! Spare my life!! Pl-”

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Regrets

    Lucian's POV.It was my fault. As my eyes rested on Celeste's unconscious on the hospital bed, I beat myself up multiple times.I thought I was umto something good when I saved Evelyn. Little did I know that it was going to lead to this chaos. I was stupid to have ignored Evelyn's threats. I should have handled everything there and then before leaving that warehouse.I wasn't going forgive myself if Celeste didn't survive this. I felt blunt pain everytime I moved, but it was nothing compared to the fear and rage that had refused to let go of me.I felt a buzz in my phone, and I checked to see that it was a call. The last thing I wanted to do was talk to anyone, but it was the only way I could silence the rebuking voices in my head."Cassian", I muttered under my breath immediately I picked the call, so Celeste wouldn't be disturbed."First of all,. please tell me that she's okay." He said, the worry in his voice matching the worry on my face as I sent a glance at unconscious Celeste

  • My step-brothers; My mate   A new home

    Celeste’s POV“Celeste? We need to talk.” My mother, Anika, said taking a seat right beside me. We rarely talked nowadays, yet we maintained the close mother-daughter bond we had since the beginning. I sent a text to one of my friends before turning to face her. “Yeah, what’s up?” I asked. Meeting her ocean-blue eyes, I couldn’t help but notice a tinge of emotion rooted deep in them. That’s when I knew that something was up. “Mom, are you okay?” I tossed my phone down on the couch, shifting closer to her. She nodded, clearing her throat, “Goodness me. I’m getting a little emotional here, don’t mind your little old lady.” She giggled, trying to wear down the emotion of the moment. “Well…” I leaned forward, “Tell me, what’s the tea?”Mom took a shaky breath, bobbing her leg up and down as she gave a small smile. This meant good news.But, the words that left her mouth next were more shocking than anything. “I’ve been seeing someone for a while, and….” she held her breath, “He prop

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Memories

    Celeste’s POV“I-” “Meet Cassian and Lucien; your step-brothers,” Theo said, introducing us to one another. Oh, but I knew them. I knew them all too well. This was like a disaster waiting to happen. I couldn’t help but tighten my grip on the backpack as I stared at both men. “Cassian, Lucien. Meet Celeste, your step-sister.” Step-sister. The word sent an unnerving chill down my spine.Both brothers stood tall, towering over me as I looked up at them. They were handsome, no doubt with their perfectly styled hair and muscular bodies. Cassian’s blue eyes pierced mine as he gave a small, knowing smirk. While Lucien was almost unfazed. I couldn’t quite put a finger on what exactly it was, but his aura was much more different from Cassian’s.“Nice to meet you, sis.” He grinned, extending a hand. I had to just play it cool right now. This wasn’t the time for any funny business. Just play it cool, Celeste.I forced my grip on the backpack strap loose as I took his into mine, returning t

    "Looks like you’re having fun without me?” Cassian frowned, a plate in his hand as he stared down at me. Mind you, my hand was still down my pants, and my shirt had been drawn so high up that he’d probably seen my boobs. I yelped, grabbing my blanket and quickly pulling it over myself. “Get out. Now!” I grit my teeth, grabbing onto the duvet so tight that my knuckles almost went white. “Oh, come on now. Don’t be like that, Celeste. Loosen up,” He smirked, “Have a little fun.” My face heated up as a pale blush spread over my features. Still, I wouldn’t let him get to me like this, “What are you even doing up here—in my room?” I spat, adjusting my clothes, my chest heaving. “Dad said I should bring up some cookies and milk. Seems you already got your dessert going on.” He not-so-subtly remarked, with a smug grin. “Oh my God. Just drop the plates and get out!” I screeched, covering my face with shame. And for the first time in a long time, Cassian listened to me. He silently obeyed

  • My step-brothers; My mate   You own me

    Celeste's POV.Was I going to let him take over me the same way he did twenty-four hours ago?I knew where this would end if I let him, so I put my hands before me to create some distance between the both of us and retreated. I ended up knocking over a bucket of water, but that was the least of my worries."Look what you did, avoiding the inevitable,” he teased."Stop." It took every fiber of resistance in me to mutter that single word. "I don't give a shit what you think about who I think I dance with, and you have no right to tell me whether or not to dance with him.""Are you sure? Cause your body is telling me otherwise,” he said with a smirk on his face as his eyes rested on my hardened nipples. "Your body is yearning to be controlled, and we both know that half man can't do the shit that I do to you."If there was anything that I concluded, it was that Cassian's ears were just aesthetics. There was no other logical explanation to how my warnings went over his head."I don't need

    Celeste's POV.I can't believe I allowed him to have his way with me again.It took me more time than expected to regulate my breathing and calm my heartbeat. I finally got out of the Janitor's room and tried to find the nearest exit without being noticed, but Freya was too quick to find me."Celeste! Over here! Look up!", She waved her hands from a distance and I had no chicken but to wait for her."I've been looking around for you. What happened? I just saw you come out of the Janitor's room that your step brother came out from..."Stepbrother...That was probably the Moon Goddess spraying a salt of guilt on me by remembering who exactly I just that ungodly escapade with."... And why's your hair all scattered and strayed?"At first, I felt amused by the fact that she asked many questions bluntly, but right now, I hate it."Can we just go home, please? I'll tell my driver to drop you off at your place before taking me home.""Okay fine, but someone's here to see us off."I looked u

    CELESTE'S POV.I popped my eyes open in fear.Who the hell was that?The room was too dark for me to see clearly, but I could've sworn that someone just walked into my room.I was still in a laying position when the stranger stopped by my bed.I tried to get up from the bed, but it felt like some force was keeping me down. I didn't know what it was, but it felt like some invisible being was on top of me.I began sweating profusely in the well air-conditioned room.What the fuck was going on?And who the fuck was this person?!Even though I was unable to move a muscle, I was wide awake, so I could see everything that was happening.I saw the stranger lean in and I immediately pick on his scent.Now I knew I was fucked."Seems you don't listen, my love", he whispered into my ear, I felt my insides begin to melt into nothing."C... Cassian... Wh... What are you doing here? What are you doing to me?" I quivered."You wouldn't be having this experience if you just listened to me when I tol

    Celeste's POV.I tried to speak, but I couldn't find my voice.His grey metallic eyes rested on mine, and it felt like I was in a trance.He took another step and he raised his hands. The closer his hands came to me, the more I yearned for his touch.I suddenly saw his hands go over me and he reached for something above me. He finally came back with a bottle of seasoning in his hands. "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?", He questioned as his casually walked away.Was he kidding me?How the fuck would he do all of that without even touching me?I was frustrated at this point.It felt like I was about to run mad."Why are you doing this?", I suddenly blurted."Doing what?""Messing with my head like it's a fucking toy."He chuckled and began slicing a bulb of onions. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Do you do this to every girl to meet?""Could you help me turn that broth before it begins to burn? Thank you."I was pissed and frustrated, but the way he sounded so domi

    Lucian's POVI couldn't tell where I got the strength from, but the more the image of a helpless, bleeding and unconscious Celeste flashed through my head, the more rage coursed through my veins.I could see his eyes widen in shock when he saw my face, and I could tell he wanted to start begging for mercy and for breath, but my grip allowed no words to pass through his throat. He tried all he could to take my hands away from his neck, but with my claws hooking his flesh, he only managed to end up hurting himself."What are you still doing there?! Let's get the fuck out of here while we still can!! We can get to the border and get out of this city if we move now!!", One of his colleagues yelled from where he stood.He tried to signal desperately for help, but I immediately dragged him towards me, slamming him to the door with full force over and over until I saw his head break and bleed from his eyes.I left his lifeless body to crumble to the ground and I bursted the door open."Who

You're not going to choke her from behind and make sure she doesn't live to tell the story? You're going to let this stranger take who belongs to you?"My wolf kept giving me fantasies of killing Evelyn, but I managed to play cool throughout the whole ride. I watched as she giggled and latched on to him like she wanted him to save her again. She kept finding ways to flirt with him and touch, but there was nothing I could do, because Lucian allowed it.He laughed to all her jokes.He didn't push her out the car when she touched him.He kept returning the same energy that she gave him, and it was starting to irritate me.The car finally stopped, and I was the first to get out of the choking atmosphere that they'd created.It looked like we were at the outskirts of the city. There weren't many modern buildings and cars anymore. The people here looked subtle - daresay timid. I did

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Haunted

    Celeste's POVI found myself in the living room of the palace. I couldn't remember what happened to me, or how I got here in the first place.I was in the palace but something was different about it. It had high, haunted walls with an atmosphere that gave me chills.I noticed the living room was empty. There were no guards or maids, talk less of my mum or any other family member.The lights were dim, which made it harder for me to see. The cold, midnight wind blew against my body, sending spooky shivers down my spine. This place made me uncomfortable all of a sudden. I'd never seen this place in this manner before. The house looked abandoned for some reason."Hello?", I called, but I got no response, save for the echoes of my own voice."Hello? Is anyone there?!", I asked, squinting to see if I made anything of the void with the dim lights high above my head.All I got was another round of echoes and a cold breeze that pulled me back a little bit.I was getting scared of this place.

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Slightly jealous

    Celeste's POV.I stayed at a corner in the room while Lucian approached the woman. I honestly would prefer to be home with him, but I guess someone else needed him more.She turned when she saw Lucian by her side with a weak smile that was too bright for someone who was close to death."I don't know whether to say thank you for saving my life or get ashamed that I get to meet someone as handsome as you under this kind of circumstance."Really?She was barely out of the woods, and the first thing she could comment on was on Lucian's facial structure.I saw Lucian smile a little. "There's no need to get ashamed. I think you'd be dissatisfied if an ugly person saved your life."His comment made her crack up on her bed until she began to cough a little, forcing Lucian to calm her down. "That's the funniest thing I've heard in my life, but you're right", she sighed with a tired smile."How did you get poisoned?"Lucian's question made that smile fade away into a pale, dreamy saddened face

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Saving a stranger

    Celeste's POVWe swerved to the direction of that distress call and we could see people gathering at the scene.I could hear my wolf hiss countless times at the interruption, and rightly so, cause I doubted that there would be another another series of events that would lead to me letting him make such a move.We got closer to the situation, confused by the fuss that was going on. "Someone please help!! Call the police!! Call the ambulance!!. Call someone or something!! This young lady is dying!!", She begged. My eyes met a gruesome sight of a lady foaming profusely and shaking vigorously. She had the black in her eyes turned to the back with white foamy substance oozing from her mouth. She looked in a very bad condition, and she was in need of critical help."I just called the ambulance. they're fifteen minutes out!", One of the onlookers informed and other people began calling around to source for help.The foam was turning yellowish, and the intensity of the convulsion doubled.

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Ruined Vacation

    Celeste's POVI reclined in my seat as a wave of frustration took over me. This wasn't what I needed right now."It's already hard that this vacation is ruined. Why can't we go back to the apartment?""I made booking for cleaners and handymen to come fix the place up.""Fix the place up?", I repeated in confusion. "Why? The plan was to stay there for just a night and go into the apartment that stepdad meant for us to be in for the vacation?"He grew silent all of a sudden and when I turned to face him, I saw an apologetic look on his face."Lucian, please don't tell me it's what I think it is..." I felt weakened with frustration at the thought of what I dreaded the most."I can explain.""I honestly don't think that the explanation is something I'd be excited to hear.""It turns out the mistake is not something that we can rectify easily. It's the holiday period, and Greece at this time of the year is packed up with tourists and holiday people. This vacation was a last minute decisio

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Vacation: A Wrong decision

    Celeste's POV."This is not the vacation we planned for her. How do we resolve this?"The low but firm murmurs I heard from a corner of the room forced me awake, but I still shut my eyes and stayed in my sleeping position while I heard Lucian yell at the person he was on the call.I opened my eyes halfway to watch Lucian in his usual shirtless aura and my eyes refused to shut close.I couldn't imagine the panic attacks I would've had if Lucian didn't stay by my side last night. I was acting all tough on the outside, but the only thing my shameless wolf wanted was to feel him drag us from behind into a cuddle. Now this cup of vanilla was standing by the window, and my wolf kept yearning for him.She didn't care that I just woke up from sleep and that I was too tired fot these war.She didn't care that I was doing everything possible to protect my heart from shattering twice.She just kept on at her greediness, despite the number of warnings I'd given her.I sighed at how his back musc
