All Chapters of Betrayed by fated, Chased by his half-brother: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Ryker“Is this the first time you’re actually not listening to me?” My voice is sharp, laced with a fury that’s threatening to boil over. “When we were together, not listening to me and doing exactly the opposite of what I told you was practically your favorite pastime. Did I ever hit you when you disobeyed me?”My words are icy, but beneath the anger, there’s a raw wound that’s been torn open. Does she not know me at all? Eight months and twenty-three days together, and she thinks I could ever hurt her? The thought alone is so offensive that it burns. I can’t even bring myself to look at her.“I…” She starts to speak, but I’ve already turned away, storming out of the classroom. I hear her call my name, but the sound barely registers. My feet move faster, driven by the need to escape before the anger consumes me. I will never hit her, no matter how furious I am, but I just don’t want to face her when I’m hurt because I know why she is doing it.It’s all because of that bastard. He has

RykerDante’s cheeks are flushed, an unfamiliar sight on him. The usually aloof and hardened Beta, who'd scoffed at commitment and never gave a second glance to a woman he spent the night with, is now blushing innocently. Dante was such a fuckboy, I never imagined him getting settled. It’s almost amusing to see him in this rare, vulnerable state.You are also going to settle down soon, my wolf remarks while grinning like a lost cause. It’s just a contract marriage, I tell him sharply, not wanting him to build his hopes up for wanting something more than that because I will never want to get settled with any girl, even if she is Azura, the strongest and prettiest she-wolf. Marriage is not for me, and I’m not made for marriage.My wolf pouts sulkingly, feeling disappointed in me. What can you expect from the lone wolf raised on the fringes who had the worst childhood without any of his parents? Elysia’s soft voice pulls me away from my thoughts. “Thank you,” she murmurs, and I can't he

Azura“What happened?” Alex asks when he notices me looking around; thanks to the goddess, he lets go of my face. I shake my head and smile at him. “Nothing. Um, what did you want to talk about, Professor Alex?” “I wanted to show you something in the woods. I have killed those fuckers who tried to kill you,” he says proudly.I gasp, faking shock, because I don’t believe that he will go that far just to make me believe that he is on my side. “Did you really kill them?” My wolf cringes at my acting, scolding me for acting like a stupid, silly, teenage girl who will get impressed by such things. I agree with her, but I have to play my part to make him believe that he is gaining my affection, and I’m getting impressed by him.“Are you doubting me?” He raises his brows at me.“Oh, my goddess. No, no,” I deny, pouting. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t doubting you. I was just shocked.” I lower my gaze, looking at my feet and rolling my eyes.“It’s okay. I was just teasing you, Azura,” he says, puttin

Ryker“Are you trying to avoid me?” Azura’s voice is laced with desperation as she struggles to keep up with me, her breath coming in quick, shallow bursts. Her legs, though small, move with determined energy as she tries to match my pace.I feel her presence like a shadow, but I keep my gaze fixed ahead. After coming back from her meeting with Alex, she went straight to bed without having dinner, avoiding any conversation, so I decided to avoid her if that’s what she wanted. Even this morning, I couldn’t bring myself to speak to her.“No,” I say, the word cold and clipped, my eyes refusing to meet hers. Liar, my wolf snarls in my mind, reminding me how I ignored her earlier when she offered me more pancakes. Her voice was so sweet and concerned, but I just gave a curt nod, denying it, and didn’t even utter a single word.“Stop sulking like a child, Ryker. It was necessary, you know. You were the one who asked me to pretend as if I’m falling for his gimmicks, so how could I shake his

Azura“Get the fuck out of my room,” I snap, my blood boiling as memories of the past surge through me. Nicholas used to mock me whenever I messed things up in the kitchen or tripped because of my clumsiness, and I was too blinded by love to see the glaring red flags. But now, I see them all too clearly, and I have zero tolerance for any of it.“How dare you disrespect me?” Nicholas growls, leaning in as if he can intimidate me with his proximity. “Don’t forget—”“OUT.” I cut him off, throwing my hands up in the air. I can’t take his shit anymore.He rises, his glare filled with pure hatred. If looks could kill, I’d be dead. “You’ll regret this,” he seethes, warning me.Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Ryker smirking. What the hell is so amusing? I shoot him a scolding glare, but he just shrugs, unfazed.Nicholas strides toward the door, and I turn my face to the wall, unwilling to look at him any longer. He can go and fuck himself for all I care. “Remember to close the door, plea
