My Husband’s Brother

last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-10-12 16:24:23

For several seconds, I couldn’t bring myself to speak.

Kael’s declaration still echoed in my mind, and Adrian’s expression made it impossible to pretend I had misunderstood what was happening. The man I had met at the hotel, the man whose touch had awakened something deep inside me, was my husband’s older half-brother.

And he had just called me his mate.

I looked at Kael, searching his face for some sign that he regretted saying it in front of Adrian. His expression remained controlled, but

  • Betrayed By My Husband, Mated To His Brother   I Don’t Need Savings

    The following morning, I arrived at the foundation determined to finish the report Dr. Porter had requested before the weekend. I wanted to have my responsibilities under control before visiting Kael’s family estate, especially because I suspected the meeting would demand more patience than I had available.I had barely settled at my desk when Dr. Porter appeared at my door.“Do you have a few minutes, Sera?”“Of course.”She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. Her expression was professional, but I could tell she had something specific to discuss.“I wanted to let you know that someone contacted the foundation yesterday with questions about your role on the follow-up project.”My stomach tightened.“Who contacted you?”“Adrian Veyne.”I looked down at the report in front of me, then back at her.“What did he say?”“He questioned whether your involvement was based on your professional contribution or your relationship with Kael. He also asked whether your responsibilities h

  • Betrayed By My Husband, Mated To His Brother   Kael Draws His Line

    Kael arrived home that evening looking as though he had spent the entire drive arguing with himself.I was sitting in the living room with my laptop open, reviewing the documents for the foundation’s follow-up project. I had managed to concentrate for nearly an hour, but Adrian’s words kept returning whenever my attention wandered.I wasn’t afraid of being questioned about my work. I was afraid of how much time and energy I might have to spend defending myself against accusations that had nothing to do with the quality of that work.When Kael entered, he loosened his tie and placed his keys on the table.“Have you eaten?” he asked.“Not yet. I was going to finish this section first.”He glanced at the laptop, then toward the dining room.“Would you rather eat now and come back to it afterward?”I smiled faintly. “That sounds suspiciously like sensible advice.”“I’m capable of it occasionally.”I saved my work and closed the laptop. As we walked toward the dining room, I noticed that h

  • Betrayed By My Husband, Mated To His Brother   Adrian’s Threat

    The document still hadn’t arrived by the following afternoon.I had checked my email so many times that I was beginning to recognize the notification sound before it finished playing. Every time my phone lit up, I hoped it would be the message I needed, only to discover another foundation update or an ordinary notification that had nothing to do with my application.I knew I couldn’t force the administrative office to work faster, but knowing that didn’t make the waiting any easier.I spent the morning at the foundation, reviewing the latest patient follow-up reports and making adjustments to the trial process. The work helped distract me from the application, although I caught myself checking my phone whenever there was a pause in the meeting.Dr. Porter noticed.“Any news?” she asked after the others had left.“Not yet. I’ve submitted a request for expedited processing, but they haven’t responded.”“That’s frustrating, especially when you’ve done everything you’re supposed to do.”“

  • Betrayed By My Husband, Mated To His Brother   The Door Opens

    By the time I reached home, I had already made a list of everything I needed to do before the application deadline.The list was longer than I wanted to admit. I needed to contact my former institution about the missing document, confirm the preparatory program’s requirements, and make sure my foundation responsibilities were arranged around the time I would need to spend gathering everything. None of those tasks was impossible, but I had left myself less room for delays than I should have.I sat at my desk and called the administrative office at my former institution.After several minutes of waiting, someone finally answered and directed me to the department responsible for processing the document. I explained what I needed, provided my details, and asked whether it could be prepared before the application closed.“Have you submitted a formal request?” the woman asked.“Not yet. I wanted to confirm the procedure first.”“You’ll need to submit the request with the required identifica

  • Betrayed By My Husband, Mated To His Brother   The Woman At The Clinic

    The clinic was busier than I expected.When I arrived that morning, patients filled most of the waiting area, and the receptionist was trying to explain to an elderly man why he needed to update his information before seeing the doctor. A young mother sat near the window with a sleeping child against her shoulder, while a nurse moved between the consultation rooms carrying a stack of files.The noise reminded me of the hospitals I had visited years ago, back when I still believed I would spend my life working in one.I paused near the entrance, taking in the familiar smell of disinfectant and the quiet urgency that seemed to move through every corridor. For a moment, I could almost imagine myself wearing a white coat, carrying patient files, and walking into a room knowing I had the training to help someone.Then I remembered that I was here to review the foundation’s follow-up arrangements, not to pretend I was already a doctor.I straightened my shoulders and continued toward the of

  • Betrayed By My Husband, Mated To His Brother   Kael Listens

    For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.Kael stood in front of me with his usual confidence missing, and I realized that my determination to protect my independence had made me focus so much on what I feared losing that I hadn’t considered what he feared losing.He had spent years being the man everyone turned to when something went wrong. He could offer money, influence, security, and solutions, but none of those things guaranteed that someone would stay because they wanted him rather than what he could provide.I understood that fear more than I wanted to admit.“Kael, look at me.”He raised his eyes to mine.“I don’t want to need you in the way I needed Adrian. I don’t want my future to depend on whether a man decides to support me, and I don’t want to lose myself trying to keep someone happy.” I paused, choosing my next words carefully. “But that doesn’t mean I don’t want you in my life.”His expression remained guarded, although the tension around his mouth eased slightly.“What
