All Chapters of Luna to my stepbrother (Her sinful indulgence): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Avery compromising with a forced smile and playful gaze was completely unexpected after Ian settled at the dining table for dinner with his family.Ian was quick to understand the situation the moment he settled in: the fact that his mother was his father’s mistress and the fact that Avery didn’t like her very much.It was a pretty ugly situation to be in considering the fact that Avery was his mate, which is supposed to be impossible because mate bonds don’t exist with people who have blood ties so Ian knew something was terribly wrong somewhere.He couldn’t exactly ask his mother if she cheated on her father, who was her mate, which was probably the real reason she stayed his mistress even though he’s got a wife.Which is one thing with mates; werewolves have a single mate for a lifetime. Of course, they can choose to be with someone who isn’t their fated pair but it can’t be the same with mates.Eloise also had other prospects; she still chose his father, Finn, her mate, because o

Ian felt his throat itch. Right before he got close to the door to open it, he could already guess who was there; Avery’s soft chuckles and intoxicating jasmine scent kind of announced her presence before she even got close. ‘Fuck,’ Ian thought as memories of that morning rushed at him as he stood frozen, his eyes locked with Avery’s. Avery left the house early, just like how she left the dining room the previous night before he had the chance to stop her; Avery had rushed out before the effect of the sedatives he took wore off. He had to take them since it was the only way he could sleep without walking up to her door in the middle of the damn night and while Ian wished their path would cross in the morning, Avery didn’t even wait around for breakfast. Even after she left for work, her lingering scent was enough to lure Ian to her room, which she probably forgot to lock as she was in a hurry to avoid him. Ian gave in to his wolf, walked over to her bed and took a sharp inha

Although Avery had ignored Ian’s existence as she promised she would, it didn’t mean she could get him off her mind.Ever since that blatant display with his girlfriend where she just walked away to find Michael, she couldn’t stop herself from wondering what he was up to since she hasn’t seen him around since then.“Is Ian not joining us for dinner?” Avery couldn’t believe herself as she turned to Eloise in question since the maids were already filling their plates and Ian was nowhere to be seen.Eloise’s reaction to her question made her realise how absurd it was to ask but she answered either way.“He isn’t feeling so well. He won’t be joining us tonight,” Eloise replied, with her eyes suspiciously narrowed at her.“Oh, just asking since I didn’t see him come down for lunch as well.” Avery shrugged, hoping that was enough to ease Eloise's suspicion. Ian, after going upstairs with that girl, hasn’t been seen around since, even though Finn wanted so much to have a private conversatio

“How is he?”Avery and Eloise asked Finn’s personal doctor almost at the same time after walking out of Finn’s master suite with a sweaty forehead.“He’s going to be okay, but we can only do so much to keep him alive. I’m sorry but you’ll all have to prepare your minds.” The middle-aged troubled man said.While doctors are known for their straight faces when treating their patients, Eden Hawkins worried expression wasn’t that much different from the rest of them; after all, he was basically family, and Avery knew just how hard this sucks for him as well.“This was all your fault,” Eloise said out of nowhere, surprising them all.“If only you had picked this fucking disease earlier, none of this would have happened. Finn paid you thousands to manage his health and what did you do? Absolutely nothing,” Eloise fumed, her voice laden with grief and her face outlined by pure frustration.It felt like she just needed someone or something to vent at and Eden just happened to be there.“I apolo

Eloise might have pretended to ignore it but she also noticed how restless Ian was around the house since he arrived.At first, she thought it was only because of his rut, then she wondered if the changing environment and his father’s presence had anything to do with it but to think it was something that huge—Eloise felt speechless, staggering back until her back met the barrel chair behind her.“This doesn’t make any sense." Eloise mumbled repeatedly but Ian still picked it anyway. “Are you sure? You could be wrong?” Eloise felt nervous all of a sudden.“Mom, you once told me the one thing a wolf would never mistake is the mate bond... you know it’s impossible to mistake such a thing, her scent, her touch... it’s been killing me since I came here,” Ian confessed and Eloise frowned, wondering what he meant by her touch but decided not to ask, dismissing it as probably so little as them brushing shoulders.“Was she why your rut suddenly came?” The realisation dawned on her, leaving her
