All Chapters of Rejecting My Alpha Stepbrother : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Chapter 161April's POVHe stepped away from me and looked at me with surprise and fearful anticipation. I could almost hear his heart beating at a fearful pace. I licked my lower lip and his taste lingered on my tongue. Why did I push him away? Why did I ask him to stop? Was I repulsed by him?My heart was pounding harder as I continued to stare at him and assess my own thoughts. He had hurt me and now he was kissing me. He had made my life a misery and did he just think that he could kiss his way into my forgiveness?I wanted to be angry at him for thinking that I could just take him back after everything, but I couldn't. My heart was soft and all I could feel was pain every time I tried to push him out of my thoughts."April...""Dorian, I... I need to tell you something. It's about the diary."I felt the atmosphere in the room change. I felt his worry from where he stood and I began to doubt if this was the best time to bring this up. He had just told me that the King was his fa

April's POVI was with Dorian all night. I couldn't bear to leave him alone. He held me close as he slept, and I stroked his hair gently. It was morning, and the sun had yet to rise. Hus stirring in bed had woken me up, and I couldn't go back to sleep. I stole glances at his peaceful face as he slept, and my mind was in overdrive. I felt my heart being drawn towards him, but I could feel myself resisting.Lyra had been going crazy all night, but I was able to suppress her and keep her under control. She wanted to be with Dorian, her mate, but I was scared. I was scared of being broken. I was scared of being hurt all over again by him.He took a deep breath, and it fanned my face gently. I looked at his sleeping face and couldn't help but stroke his cheek. He was in pain; he was hurt that his real father had just died. He had been sobbing quietly into my chest before he slept off, but now, he looked tranquil. His face was relaxed. He was at peace, even if it was only for a little whil

=Conrad's POVI licked my lips in satisfaction. This was perfect. Everything was going according to plan. I watched as Dorian continued to glare at me. He had no idea what I had in store for him."Well, without anything else to say, I propose closing this Court session."As my voice boomed across the room, everyone murmured in anxiety and began to troop out.I locked eyes with April, and she gave me an acid glare.I glared back at her, but my lips were pulled into a smile. I still remember the little stunt she tried pulling on me the day I asked her to have lunch with me. I didn't care what connection or relationship she had with Dorian. I wasn't going to lose her to him. Sister or not, April was mine, and I was determined to make her my bride.I hesitated to leave the courtroom and called Jonas beside me."Go and set up the meeting immediately. Tell him that I will be seeing him shortly."I saw Dorian standing at the doorway, waiting for me. His eyes were narrowed angrily, beckoning

April's POVI stood outside his door crying and banging on it with all my might. He couldn't go. I couldn't let him fight Conrad. He didn't know what he was doing."Dorian! Open the door!"I knocked frantically but the door didn't budge. He had locked me out. He was going to walk into his own grave and he didn't even care about how I felt.My tears flowed less and were replaced with a feeling of anger and resentment. I hated him. I hated what he was doing.He knew that Conrad was trying to get him out of the way but he chose to ignore everything that he had and walk into his trap. If he died, who was going to protect the pack?I stopped knocking and an idea popped into my head.Ivar! I should have thought about it before! He can get through to Dorian. He listens to him.I dried my eyes and stared at the door one more time, hoping that Dorian would open it but it stayed firmly shut."I'm not going to let you do this, Dorian. You are not thinking straight."I ran out of the palace and d

Dorian's POV"Speak, April. What is all this about?"I saw her eyes look at me in worry and fear. She did have something to do with all of this. I had seen all her calls last night but I ignored all of them. I knew what she wanted to say but I had made up my mind. I was going to do this."I told you not to interfere! You shouldn't have! Why did you think I didn't pick up your calls!"I roared at her and she gasped in fear."And you!–"I turned my attention to Jacob and Ivar."What are you two even doing here?"Ivar struggled in a guard's grip but they outnumbered him and pinned him down."Dorian, are you blind? Can't you see what Conrad is trying to do?""I made this choice and I am going to go through with it! I don't need any of you babysitting me! Okay!"My anger spilled over and I glared daggers at everyone. I knew what Conrad was trying to do to me but I was going to take the chance. I wasn't doing this because of him. I was doing this for my father. Can't they understand that?S
