~Nyra~

An emerald green dress was draped on my body. The corset was too tight, it was as if I'd been squeezed in a tin plate. My breathing hitched every now and then.

My hair was styled in a neat bun, two loose strands rested on each side of my face which hid the discomfort on my face, all thanks to Natalie. She really tried to make me comfortable.

The two sisters were with me as we walked down the corridor. They led the way while I followed after, the closer we got to wherever the dining room was the wetter my palms were.

I tried to be calm, yet it felt like digging a pin into an ocean.

I sucked in a deep breath when we got to the metal door. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to leave, but there was no way I could heed the warning when I am surrounded by people who could kill me at any interval. Soon the door opened and I stepped into the dining room.

To my surprise, the room was filled up as if they were having a grand feast. Every one of them had their gaze on me, their scent w

  • Bound To My Mate's Step Brother    Chapter 41

    ~MIKAEL~Nyra slept soundly on my chest. I patted her head slightly. The attack was supposed to happen tomorrow, but I'd changed my mind.The moon would be at its peak today, and since I had completed the ritual to regain my full powers, subduing a part of me I didn't think I would have was quite a thrill.Accepting that side of me was important, and now—the people would know what I am. So many questions raced through their heads, but none had the answers they sought, so they decided to pretend like that part of me didn't exist.I placed a kiss on Nyra's cheek before carrying her gently. Staring at my mate, I had mixed feelings.I still wasn't sure if I was ready to accept the bond or just have her nearby in case there were urges needing to be controlled.Tonight was an exception. She'd remained calm in my embrace. She trusted me not to hurt her today, but I would have to do that.My thirst for revenge surpassed whatever feelings were left. Sure, the bond can make us act in ways we do

    ~NYRA~The door of the bathroom creaked open. I only mustered the courage to open the door once I was sure Mikael wasn't in the room any longer. My lips pursed as my wet legs walked towards the bed.A white plain gown rested on his bed with undergarments. On the table by the side was food. That alone warmed my heart.Without wasting any time, I put on the clothes, sat on his bed, and ate the food.I had been in the bathroom for hours. I used his soap to bathe and made sure I could enjoy any liberty I could get at the moment.I sat down on his bed and ate the food brought to me by the maids. I didn't dare leave the room, so I kept the plate on the table while I used that time to check the room.I have been here twice and I have checked this room out, but this was going to be a thorough checking out. It was plain, and his scent filled the room, easing my wolf.I opened his wardrobe to check his clothes down to his perfumes. I shouldn't be doing this—I should have kept my hands to myself

    ~MIKAEL~When she dashed into the bathroom, a chuckle elicited from my lips. Yesterday was crazy, and though it's hard for me to admit, I do not think Nyra will be slipping away from my grasp any time soon.A smile found its way to my face as I looked at the sky. Claws protruding as I held the window, something shifted inside me, and now it's time for me to strike.I have two battles ahead of me. One doesn't need me to prepare, and the other I need to.'O'Lean, come right away to my room. Make sure you bring some spare clothes for Nyra,' I said through the mindlink.I know how embarrassed she feels, so it would be very hard for her to go back to her room. I am pretty sure she would stay here all night.'Nyra?' he repeated. Before he could say another word, I cut him off the link.She's indirectly thrown me out of the bathroom, thus I have no choice but to have my bath elsewhere.I was fully dressed when O'Lean walked into my room. He'd brought the clothes I asked him for, gently dropp

    ~NYRA~A groan escaped through my lips as I snuggled closer to that hard yet comfy cushion. Somehow this cushion has soft fur, and its smell was so intoxicating.I rested my head on it, hands roaming around its body. I smiled, feeling so happy and comfortable. I couldn't keep my hands to myself. My legs flew over to a hard object, and it poked me.I liked it. It made sleeping easy, and my body doesn't seem to be hurt, though I feel tired and raw.I never sleep without a garment, no matter how icky it was. I still wore it, but right now... I was bare and gladly happy in my birthday suit.Should I be bothered? I have no idea... I could only hope I wandered back into the wonderland where that dazzling creature with beautiful porcelain skin was.I yawned, still not satisfied with how close I was with this cushion. I moved closer, lips rubbing its body, and then I felt it move.As if it wanted to satisfy my unspoken need of being pressed to it. I didn't think anything was wrong until I fel

    ~AUTHOR'S POV~Mikael stood in front of Nyra's bedroom. He raised his hand to knock but held himself back.He knew deep down it was wrong to come here. Two days had passed since the incident in the meeting room, and that means if he doesn't find a way to break the barrier, then there is no freedom.He ought to have thought about his people, not mindlessly gone to his supposed mate's room.A frustrated groan escaped his lips as he raked his hands through his hair. He was torn, and his wolf wasn't helping either.He thought coming here was going to help, but he didn't think that was the right move.Just as he was about to leave, he heard her whimper—it was low, but he knew that was from her.On the other hand, Nyra's body felt like it was burning from within. She hadn't come out of her room to go to her assigned post. She only went to the bathroom to have her bath, and that was it. Besides, nobody came in to ask about her, neither did Madam Cecilia barge into her room.She kept on cryin

    ~ERIC~It's been a month since Nyra disappeared. I hated every bit of it because my life had been turned upside down.The room I usually sleep in feels hollow. I closed my eyes, trying everything to stop those loud voices in my head from speaking.I was stupid—stupid to believe the one-night stand with Alessia could result in a child.That was a grave mistake, but I worsened the matter when I agreed with Elder Alecca's condition about his daughter having the child only when Nyra was removed as Luna.I knew how much pain and betrayal she would feel, yet I still went on with it because I was stupid and insane.I heaved a sigh as I closed the document I was working on."Where are you, Nyra?" I muttered, bitterness taking hold of me. My wolf purred at my question. We both missed her.A knock on my door dragged me out of my reverie. I blinked, a cold expression overtaking that of loneliness."Come in," I responded.The door creaked open, revealing my new beta, Adams. He'd replaced Alessia
