All Chapters of Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Nimue~~When I got to my room, I shut the door as I struggled to catch my breath. Umbra was becoming more restless inside me. I glanced at the time on my phone. Shit, it was almost seven PM."Umbra, can't you hold on for... A little longer?" I pleaded as I remembered what followed during this transformation. I couldn't bear the thought of becoming a man again. A monster. Heck no, there has to be a way I could delay it. Unfortunately, Umbra's response was negative. "Sorry, Nimue. I don't think I'll hold on even if I could. Luna has already snagged enough time today and accomplished nothing, as usual."Luna protested with a shriek inside me. "Oh, hush! You're ruining Nimue's life, what's the 'accomplishment' in that?" Umbra replied indifferently. "I'm simply one of her wolves. It's not my fault that we're cursed."I groaned, shaking my head as my eyes saw double. My gaze was blurry, but I was still able to barely see the door to the bathroom. I slowly walked there, ignoring the int

After we freshened up, Jin drove us to school. Bruno tried requesting that I stay behind and tag along with him as usual, but I politely declined. I'd take riding with Jin anyday over riding with Kieran. Especially after the drama the latter caused yesterday both in school and at home. When we got to the campus and stepped out of the car, it didn't take long for me to hear whispers directed at us. Rumors had begun spreading that Jin and I were actually an item or in some secret relationship. But I ignored all the remarks and went ahead to walk into the building for classes. "I'll see you later." Jin spoke flatly before walking away, leaving me alone in the hallway, which was becoming more and more crowded with students. I sighed. How dumb was I to think the enigmatic Mr. Kisaragi was a romantic?"Nimue!" A voice shrieked from behind me, making me feel like disappearing. Gosh, why did she have to be so loud? I wasn't proud of that name!I turned back to see Nadia running toward m

I blinked awkwardly. Where do I even begin?Not wanting any trouble, I waved it off. "It... It was nothing. Brock and his friends just wanted to apologize for last time." I chuckled, hating how nervous I sounded. Jin scoffed, his eyes trailing me with an unreadable glint. I tried avoiding his gaze, wondering what was in his mind. After a while, he blurted bluntly. "That didn't look like a mere... 'apology'. But it's okay. Just remember, if you ever need my help or if any of them dare lay a hand on you... You come to me, okay?" He placed a palm on my shoulder, forcing me to look him in the eyes. I gulped before nodding like an obedient puppy. Crap, I hated when he made me feel like this. He smirked, patting my face lightly. "Now that's a good girl. Come on, I'll drive you home."Phew...We walked to his car and hopped in before he drove off. When we got to the Alpha's mansion, however, I was surprised when we met my mom, a few old men and Alpha Viktor standing outside the mansion.

Kieran~~As soon as Bruno drove Lucille and me to school and we stepped down, I grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her toward an isolated part of the campus. She gasped dramatically and asked. "What's wrong? Where are we going?"I ignored her ranting until we got to the site. After looking around and confirming that no one was there, I turned my gaze to Lucille. "The night of the mating ceremony. Are you sure you didn't make any mistakes? Anything that could link the wolf-repellent powder back to us?" I asked with folded arms. Lucille snapped her brows into a frown before whispering in response. "Of course not. I followed your instructions perfectly. When I placed the powder in the drinks of the young males, I made sure they weren't looking. I even got rid of the remaining powder when I was done."I arched an eyebrow. I wasn't still convinced. "How? How did you get rid of the powder?"She squinted her eyes in confusion at first but eventually spoke. "I–I flushed it in the toilet

Dad and the Alpha council members didn't waste any more time and revealed how there had been even more rumors circulating about Jin's interactions with Nimue. The Alpha council members stressed how the rumors could bring down the Silverstein family name and also scolded Nimue for not following their orders by staying away from Jin and finding her mate. At that moment, I actually felt bad for her. Neither of us had yet to admit directly to each other that we were, in fact, mates. Things were way too complicated and I just couldn't accept the girl as my mate. I've been trying to get rid of her for so long... Not get her closer to me. And for the moon's sake, she was supposed to be my step-sister!Anyway, Jin assured the Alpha council that the rumors were nothing more than rumors and that he had no ill intentions toward Nimue. The bastard! He's nothing but a two-faced liar! Wasn't he the same one who admitted in front of those human boys and me that Nimue was his 'girl'? What was tha
