Semua Bab Mated to My Stepbrother After Bullied By His Mate: Bab 1 - Bab 9

“Umm… Is this really what I have to wear?” I asked nervously, picking at my dress.“Yeah, is there a problem?” Aiden smiled at me. “It’s perfect for the dance that we will be performing later.”I’ve never worn anything quite this form-fitting… I feel so exposed.I couldn’t bring myself to tell Aiden what the problem was. “No… No problem at all.”Aiden looked me over from head to toe. “I think you look great. You’re going to outshine all the other girls at the Moon Goddess Festival!.” He winked at me.Oh god, did he just wink at me? I’m sure he’s just trying to be friendly… He is my step brother after all.“Hey, why the frown?” Aiden reached up and smoothed out my furrowed brow with a gentle touch. I couldn’t help but to blush. I’m not used to being touched by anyone other than my mom..“I… I’m just nervous for our dance performance later,” I said, turning away and trying to hide my blush.“You’ll be fine. You practiced harder than anyone I’ve ever known. And our performance starts in…

The girl who had just walked in stopped short in her tracks, her eyes moving quickly across the room, trying to gauge the situation. I pleaded with her again, desperation coloring my every word. “Help me… Please! They’re going to kill me!”She looked at us warily, her hand reaching for her phone. “What’s going on here? What are you doing to this poor girl?” I felt my spirits start to lift. I… I might actually be saved! Bella immediately stepped forward. “Oh, there’s nothing for you to worry about. She’s just getting what she deserves. This wh*re tried to seduce my mate.”“She what? That’s pathetic!” The girl’s look quickly turned from one of pity to one of disgust. “Wait, please, I can explain! I wasn’t trying to seduce anyone’s mate!” I cried.“There’s no explanation required. Going after another person’s mate is NEVER excusable, and people like you are the worst!!!” The girl glared at me, her previously sympathetic tone now completely replaced by one of disdain. The girl stormed

“I said, LET HER GO!”I opened my eyes and saw that it was Aiden. I… I’m saved. Overwhelmed with emotions, I burst into tears.“What the f*ck is going on here?” Aiden yelled and rushed over to me. He grabbed the man’s wrist and pried him away from me.Aiden quickly took his own shirt off and covered me up. “Are you okay???” All I could do was cry.Aiden's eyes burned with anger, and he swiftly turned around to face the man. “What were you doing to her???”The man answered coldly, “It was nothing that she didn’t deserve.”“You scum!” Aiden knocked the man to the ground with a punch. The man held his jaw and laughed bitterly. “To think that your pack protects b*tches like this…”Aiden roared and charged at the man. The two exchanged punches, but Aiden was clearly faster and stronger. Aiden grabbed the man’s throat and squeezed hard. The man gasped, trying to breathe. Aiden snarled, “I should just kill you right now.” “No… Aiden… stop.” I said weakly.Before I could stop Aiden, he

Aiden stopped and turned around. Bella continued, a desperate smile on her face. “I’m pregnant, and it’s yours. You can’t punish me while I’m pregnant! What if something happens to our child? It’s much too precious…”Aiden glared at her. “You lie. There is no way that you are pregnant, at least not with my child. I have never slept with you.”Bella argued, “You just don’t remember. There was this one night where you got really drunk, and we ended up in bed together.”Aiden became even angrier. “You’re lying! I would have never done that!”Bella smirked. “Oh, but you did. Do you want me to tell EVERYONE here all the details? What you did to me? What your body felt like?”Aiden paused, hesitation flickering across his face.“That’s right, darling.” Bella cradled her belly. “This child is proof of our relations.”Aiden yelled desperately, “Even if you are pregnant, I will not acknowledge the child! Your child is unworthy of being my heir.” I felt a pang of compassion. If there really wa

Shocked by this revelation, all Bella could do was cry, sorely regretting her actions.The guards walked her out the door, and that was the last I ever saw her again.Soon, it was the next Moon Goddess Festival again. I was hiding in my room when Aiden found me.He smiled and sat next to me on my bed. “So this is where you’re hiding out.”I pulled the covers over my head. “There’s no way I’m ever getting up on that stage again…”Aiden tried cracking a joke. “This time, there won’t be any crazy mates there… Are you sure? You used to love dancing so much…”I replied, “I can’t do it again. There are too many bad memories. I can’t even go to the festival…”Aiden nodded. “I understand. It was a horrible thing that they did to you…”“How about this?” Aiden’s eyes lit up. “I know this park just far enough from here where we can get away from all this. It’s kind of my secret place, where I escape to when I need time to myself.”Eager to get away from the bad memories, I got out of bed and took
