All Chapters of Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“I–I understand what you mean.” I finally uttered with a sigh. “It's just that the Alpha council gave me an ultimatum to find my mate during the mating ceremony. I'm afraid of what they'll do if I show myself to them empty-handed.” ‘Afraid’ was an understatement. I was terrified! Gosh, what was the meaning of this? I thought this mate bond with Jin would have some sense of normalcy at first, but now? Now I had to hide our bond from everyone because of its connection to Umbra and my Dual-Wolf nature. “Maybe, you should drop this douchebag and go talk things out with Kieran.” Luna suddenly spoke in my head. “Didn't you see the look in his eyes last night when I picked him? He was in love! I've never seen him look at you that way.” She sounded annoyingly dreamy but as usual, Umbra was there to talk some sense into my delusional she-wolf's head. “In love’ my ass! He looked irritated. Disgusted even.” Umbra scoffed as my mind trailed back to the look on his face. “Besides, he's Nim

I watched Alpha Viktor force a smile, as his gaze lingered between Lucille and Kieran."I hope you enjoyed yourselves at the ceremony yesterday." He mused. There was this odd feeling I got from him. It was like he knew something was up. But I don't know, maybe I was just being paranoid.Before Lucille could blurt out more fake trash, Kieran spoke up. "We'll be late for school, dad." His gaze went to my mother and it was then that I realized that the douchebag was trying hard to avoid looking at me. Maybe he was struggling too. Maybe he felt the pressure from the mate bond too.But would the stubborn Kieran ever be the bigger person and discuss it with me? Hmph, I'll first grow an extra head before he ever did that. And I didn't want him to anyway. Without saying anything else, Kieran pulled Lucille along with him and hurried out of the dining room. When he walked past me, our eyes met for a few seconds and once again, just like the first time, it felt like time had stopped."MATE!"

“Step away from her and I'll consider letting you go without breaking all your bones.” When that voice spoke up, my Umbra wolf howled excitedly within me. “Our prince charming to the rescue!” However, Luna protested. “Oh, please! Talk about the worst timing in history. He could only show up after Nimue's face was burnt… How convenient.” “And where's your pretty wannabe Alpha then? I don't see him anywhere.” Umbra sniggered mockingly. I could barely see anything as I struggled to open my eyes. Nadia supported me with her arms, showing a little of her vampire strength by carrying me and placing me on a seat in the class. “Everything's going to be alright, Nimue.” She brushed my hair reassuringly, though her voice was wracked with guilt. “This is all my fault. Gosh, I was so greedy to feed that I didn't realize how dangerous these human bullies were!” I really wished I could console Nadia or offer a supporting shoulder, but right now I struggled to open my eyes until I was finall

Kieran~~“We should do this more often.” Lucille purred teasingly.Heck no!“You wish.” I scoffed as I got up before heading to the bathroom. But she didn't know when to give me a break and yelled behind me. “Listen, I know you might feel bad about not finding your mate yet, but you don't have to take it out on me!” She paused, before adding. “Wait… you haven't found your mate yet, right?”I groaned silently in frustration. Nobody was going to find out about Nimue and me… especially not blabber mouth Lucille here. I'll just ignore the mate bond until I find a way to break its constraints and move on. It was best for Nimue and I.“No, I haven't Lucille,” I replied begrudgingly. “Now, quit questioning me and get ready to bathe. Except if you want me to throw you outside so you can go back to your place.”That seemed to do the trick. I didn't hear a word from Lucille again and smiled to myself as I turned on the shower. The cool water did little to ease the tension on my body, as imag

I sped up to Nimue as the gasps of the students watching the scene filled my ears. I grabbed her shoulder, pulling her away before her fists could connect with Cecilia's face. She snapped her neck to look at me, but her jaw formed an 'o’, and her eyes shone in shock when she saw it was me. "K– Kieran?" She blurted with bewilderment. As for Cecilia, the bitch still had the guts to bark. "Oh, no, let her come at me! Let me show her that she's nothing but a petty gold digger who'll grovel at my feet."Nimue closed her eyes trying to concentrate on her breathing."Let go, Kieran." She muttered defiantly, her eyes still closed. It was as if she were trying desperately to avoid looking into my eyes. I swallowed my saliva as I imagined all the things I could do to her. Darn it, Scratch was going wild inside me! 'Calm down you mutt.' I grumbled at him just as Nimue opened her eyes."Didn't you hear me? Let go!" She hollered, causing even more people to gather now.At this rate, it wouldn
