Five

Kael’s pov

“I don’t even want to believe this would happen!” I said, loud as ever.

I paced around the room, rolling my hand into a fist.

I turned towards the wall and tried to hit it but Elias stopped me by holding my arm.

I needed to vent my anger somewhere!

“Don’t ruin my room’s wall,” Elias warned, his voice low and stern.

I yanked my arms from him.

“Stop acting like you can’t get it fixed in a few hours,” I retorted.

Elias sighed.

“Don’t you dare try to ruin my wall,” he warned again.

I backed off when I realized he was serious.

Why is he so mad at me?!

He should be fucking mad at that bitch who causes all of this.

“Why are you acting like this doesn’t concern you? I am sure you felt it yesterday, that girl is our mate!” I rattled, refusing to bottle my frustration.

“Tsk, if you are expecting a reaction from him then you must be delusional,” Ronan said to me, rolling his eyes.

“Is there a way to erase this memory? I get pissed off when I have flashbacks about it! I will never be connected to someone wretched,”

“How…”

“What if they find out at school? You know what that does to us? We become a laughing stock! We will be ridiculed!” I said, ruffling my hair. .

Several thoughts ran through my head.

Ronan groaned, letting out a deep breath.

“I don’t even want to imagine this. The girls are not going to like this at all,” He whispered in response.

Elias shrugged.

“She is our mate already, we have to think of the way forward,” He said.

“Let’s reject her once and for all!” I suggested.

It wasn't even a choice, it was a must!

I couldn't think of being linked to her for another day.

“Yes, I second that! That is the only reasonable solution,” Ronan asserted.

“Maybe we should tell Dad, after all he brought her into the house,” Elias suggested.

“Definitely not!” Ronan and I said simultaneously.

I was glad Ronan was on my side on this.

“Father is clearly going to side with her. Have you seen how he stares at her so lovingly whenever she passes by him?” I asked, not able to hide his spite.

Our father has never acted that way with us.

He was always tough with us and treated us like slaves, what was so different about her?

“I think that crap about him not being his biological daughter is false! He doesn’t want to confess his atrocities to us,” Ronan said, kissing his teeth in frustration.

None of these would have been happening if we had never crossed paths with that wretched girl.

It all started with our dad offering that scholarship to her! Our lives had completely turned for the worse.

“Still, I don’t suggest just rejecting her. That is a drastic decision,” Elias said.

He walked towards his table and poured himself a glass of wine. He settled on the sofa with a satisfied sigh.

“Drastic? You know what is drastic?”

“Being mated to her? You know how much I dislike her!”

I stopped and started pointing my finger at Elias.

“Thinking about it, you never got yourself involved physically with her. Do you have feelings for that skunk?” I asked Elias.

Elias almost choked on his wine. He gasped for air and tried to steady his breathing while his I just stared at him in disgust and anger.

“You are unbelievable! You should go get your head checked,” Elias said angrily.

“That is the only logical explanation, Elias! Why do you only watch whenever we played pranks on her?” I asked.

“Because I was uninterested,” Elias replied with a shrug.

I glared at him, rolling my eyes.

That was untrue.

Who wouldn't be interested?

“Something is really off about you and I don’t think I like it at all,” I told him.

Why were we even pondering about this wretched girl?

“She definitely performed some evil magic. How did she get our father to bring her here?! I mean, the excuse is so lame,” Ronan said.

I clicked his fingers. That explains it all.

“Evil magic, I think that is exactly what she is doing!”

That has to be it!

“We are definitely incompatible! I would rather spend my whole life without a mate than with her,” I said in spite.

No matter how I tried not to hate her, just mere thoughts about her infuriated me.

“There is no way Moon goddess would ever make us mates willingly, this is clearly her handiwork.”

Ronan suddenly smirked and made a cracking noise with his knuckles.

He sat beside Elias and placed his arms on his shoulder.

“I think I am going to side with you on this one,”

I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“What the hell are you saying? Are you even thinking properly?” I asked him.

“I knew I shouldn't have trusted you acting all smart,” I whispered.

Ronan chuckled, my frustration amusing him.

Elias turned to Ronan and shook his head slightly.

“I just know you are never up to any good,” he whispered.

Ronan snapped his fingers almost immediately.

“I am glad you know me well,”

“We definitely have to teach her a lesson before finally rejecting her. She can’t just play in our faces and go Scott free,” Ronan said.

I suddenly broke into an evil smirk.

“For a second I thought her witchcraft had made it to you,” I let out, laughing.

I poured myself a wine glass and stirred it with a smirk.

“Let’s see how she manages the torture that is about to befall her,” I whispered.

I turned to Elias and saw that he wasn't saying anything. Moreover, there was this look of not consenting to all of this.

Tsk! What was wrong with him?

“Are you in?” I asked Elias.

Ronan glared at me when I asked that.

“What type of ridiculous question is that? Of course, he is in, he has no choice.”

I erupted in laughter and shook hands with Ronan.

“Sometimes you amuse me by your smartness,” I said.

Ronan got on his feet and used his shoulders to slightly push me in an intimidating way.

“Sometimes? What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked.

I raised my brows and walked to the corner of the room to take Elias’s swords.

“You should grab yours. Let’s see how that mouth of yours runs in a duel,” I challenged him.

“Challenge accepted!” Ronan responded and rushed to get his own sword.

“Both of you, out of my room!” Elias raised his voice at us.

We both glared at Elias before walking out of the room.

“Something is off about him,” I whispered to Ronan as we walked along the corridor.
