Hot brother

WINTER POV

I should have known her cheeriness towards me was for show. I knew she never liked me when I saw her yesterday, as she was discretely shooting me a death glare. But I never knew it was like this.

"I won't pretend to you, and I hope everyone acts the same way I do. No one likes you. It's best you went back wherever you came from, dog poop girl."

I ignored her words and wanted to go back to meet Luna. But Summer thwarted all the movement I made.

She gripped me tightly, and I nudged her while raising my hands to stop her from grabbing me again.

Summer fell to the ground, and I gasped.

"Bitch!" She sobbed, gripping her leg.

I didn't touch her! I knew that, but I didn't know what she was trying to do.

Kendall, my twin, rushed over, shooting me a glare. I guess he was watching this exchange all along and was waiting for the time to come out to attack. "What the hell is wrong with you? You just arrived and started damaging things!"

But I didn't touch her, I murmured to myself, staring at Summer. I opened my mouth to speak, but someone emerged from the shadow—an overly good-looking man.

He was slightly older than us, but he was fucking hot.

He was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. He was a freaking walking Sin and should be sued for looking this much attractive. How the hell could someone be as attractive as this without trying? I stared at him appreciatively as he walked towards us.

He looked strong physically. Perhaps, he was an athlete. Angular face with a strong jawline. A high cheekbones and thin lips. He had broad shoulders and a very slim waist. His bicep flexed, and a scowl adorned his beautiful face.

I glanced toward Kendall and Summer. They both glared at me before staring back at the gorgeous stranger worriedly.

I guessed they knew him by how they stared at him, but I couldn't tell.

"You shouldn't do that, Summer." He said gruffly.

Fúck, his voice.

I felt heat pooling in between my thighs, and I bite my lower lips as I felt his gaze on me.

"Come on."

He gripped my hands and tugged me away from my twin and sister before I could object.

He pulled me towards his car and opened the door for me. The car was just as sleek as he was, and I sat up straight, slightly uncomfortable about what the stranger was doing and where he was going. I presumed he noticed my discomfort, and he chuckled softly.

"Don't worry; I am taking you home." I relaxed visibly, but I still wanted to know who he was because he seemed to know many things, and he was a familiar face; that was why my twin and Summer hadn't objected when he pulled me away.

I wasn't getting kidnapped, but even if he was not a familiar face, I doubt they'd mind because it was an avenue for me to leave their life finally.

"You should relax; I am not kidnapping you."

Could he read my thoughts as well? I doubted that.

"Your expression says it all, in case you are wondering." He said.

I nodded, flushing. I glanced away from him and back at him.

Shifting in the chair I sat in, I turned towards him and gave him my utmost concentration.

"Who are you?" I blurted out before I could help myself. I grimaced at how rudely it came out, but he didn't seem to take offense.

He chuckled again and gripped the steering wheel before glancing at me briefly. "I am Slade Hall. The older son of the Alpha and Luna. I guess you are my new sister."

He flashed me a smile which I found oddly sexy. I shook my head, trying to clear the image of a sexy smirk forming my head, but it wasn't working.

I shouldn't think about anything he does to be sexy, but then, my mind had a weird way of working.

As he continued speaking, I watched his mouth rather than his words. It turned out Slade had gone to Italy to talk about a business two days ago. That should explain the reason I didn't see him around.

Also, he had come back to visit the school to confirm my admission procedure.

I assumed mother was doing that already, but I didn't mind he did as well.

"We are here," Slade announced, and I noticed we were in front of the mega-mansion I now live in.

I attempted to climb down from the car, but he halted me and came down from his side before rushing to mine. He opened the door and extended his hand to me.

Shit, he wasn't just hot; he was gentlemanly. His grip on mine was firm as he pulled me out, and something weirdly unfurled in the pit of my tummy.

Heat fused my cheeks, and I gasped as I felt a jolt of current run down my spine. I yanked my hand away from his and grimaced.

"I'm sorry, I-I."

"It's okay." He said. "I guess I made it too awkward for you."

"Not really." I couldn't explain; it felt something strange within me at our contact.

I wonder what he'd say if I did. He'd probably dismissed me and laughed it off.

Perhaps, that was what I should do, laugh it off. I must be imagining too much to have felt all that.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, Luna Ashley appeared in front of me and engulfed me in a warm hug.

She released me a few minutes later and then smoothened my hair. "How was school? Was it too uncomfortable for you?"

I shook my head, not wanting to tell her all that had transpired between Summer and my twin.

"I enjoyed the tour with Summer and definitely looking forward to starting fully."

"Good." She grinned. "You should have a good rest to prepare for tomorrow, and if you need something, just let me know. I'll have someone prepare it."

I nodded again and smiled at her before walking towards my room.

I jerked awake and noticed it was midnight. I grimaced, parting my throat as it felt dry. It seemed as though I had gone without water for a long while.

Climbing down from my bed, I shuffled the door and slipped out of the room.

Walking to the refrigerator that was in the living room to take a drink.

There was no way I could go back to sleep without having a drink.

Halting in my tracks as I noticed a figure, the light flared on, and I gasped as my eyes collided with my shirtless older brother.

Fúck, he was in only a towel!
