KESTER.

"We don't need a genius to figure this out, Kes," Norlan said, sprawled out on my couch like I hadn't just dumped a damn war at his feet.

He felt this was nothing more than child's play?

That arrogance of his that he'd never let go.

"Kex and Wes are coming for you so hard. You don't step on that many big toes without expecting some to kick back." He raised his glass, knocked it back, and casually reached for the remote.

I snatched it before his fingers touched the plastic and flung it onto the other couch.

"I don't have all day, Norlan."

He let out an unbothered laugh. "But you're not going to the office today, are you? It's past three."

"No," I said flatly. "I've got an appointment. Therapist. First session. I want to see if the guy's worth the hype. I want to make sure I go for the best."

Norlan blinked, then slowly sat up, setting the glass down.

"This is good, Kes," he said more seriously. "I'm glad she got through to you. I never thought I'd see the day you'd admit you ne

  • Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother   Chapter 196

    KASMINE.I'd been living a sad, dejected life for the past week, wandering through the wreckage of my life.Maybe I was irrational for shutting Kester out. Maybe I was even stupid for not believing him when he said he had nothing to do with Blaine’s death.A part of me really wanted to believe him, but, knowing Kester, that was one of his signature solutions to problems. He doesn’t reason with threats. He just... Erases them.I asked for space, and he respected it. I hadn't seen him for the past three days now, especially after hearing that Norlan regained consciousness yesterday. He'd spent the whole of yesterday at the hospital, only dashing back to the house to get a change of clothes before running off again.Lucky him... His bestfriend survived. Mine didn't.Claire's funeral was set to take place in two days and I'd been praying to the Moon Goddess to give me the strength to be in attendance. I was too heartbroken and guilty to feel like I had any right to stand beside her casket

  • Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother   Chapter 195

    KESTER.I drove as fast as my car could carry me. The tires screamed against the asphalt as if they shared in my urgency. My fingers clenched the steering wheel tight enough to leave dents, and my pulse thudded louder than the engine.I had expected some good news, but nothing had prepared me for such a speedy arrival of the news.Fuck.At least, after everything that had gone to hell these past few days, for once, finally, something had gone right.I barely brought the car to a full stop before I threw open the door and bolted out. The engine was still humming when I slammed it shut and took off toward the entrance.Was that a fucking smile on my face?Hell, yes! That was a smile! A real fucking one!"Good morning, Alpha," a lady greeted, blinking at me like I’d grown wings."Good morning, dear. How are you doing?" I replied, my voice unusually light, almost foreign to my own ears.The lady stood confused. She hadn't given me a response to my question. But I didn't even take it to he

    KESTER.PRESENT.After the tragic incident that took place two days ago, I had become the villain to my pack members. Everyone suspected me. And of course, I'd have suspected me, too, if I were to be in their shoes.Now, I had to sit here and listen to the council members ramble on about the incident, tossing around theories and speculations, while I waited quietly like a lamb whose fate was being decided at the slaughter.All these weren't really so much of a concern to me at the moment. My only concern was the fact that Kasmine thought I lied to her. She hadn't even let me anywhere close to her room for the past two days now.Mum even told me she was sick yesterday – Pregnancy stuff, I guess. She called in the family doctor and handled everything without telling me until it was over.That didn’t sit right with me.The amount of time Kasmine was being exposed to Mum recently made me fucking worry. And when she’s in that vulnerable, emotional state, she listens too easily. She absorbs

    KESTER.SIX YEARS AGO.The hunger kept growing insatiable. It wasn't just a craving anymore, it was a fucking problem. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't focus. I couldn't think straight. And it bothered the hell out of me.Last night, I almost made a mistake I would have lived my entire life regretting. I would never have been able to come back from it.My father and Jorja were in the city, hosting a business gala at the company. So, they spent the night away from home. Which meant the house was empty.Kasmine and I watched a movie together in her room. She had come to me, saying she was bored and needed company. She was also feeling the distance I was putting between us and I felt terrible for her. She had no friends anymore, except for Claire. I made that happen. And now, like a fucking coward, I was slowly withdrawing from her.That was truly unfair.I had to see a movie with her, out of guilt.It was a rom-com. But the scene where those couples fucked like they had been starved of sex

  • Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother   Chapter 192

    KESTER.TEN YEARS AGO.I never clicked with anyone the way I clicked with my little sister.Kasmine had this energy that could light up an entire fucking room, and, somehow, every part of me too. She was laughter. She was warmth. She was this endless spark of joy that refused to burn out, no matter what life threw at us.Since that night four years ago, when I finally caved and let her be my friend, things had shifted for the better. She even made me see how good her mother was, and now, I was also cool with her, and I even called her Mum.Jorja was a nice woman. She filled in the gap for my mum. And even though I still despised my mum for leaving me, a tiny part of me still hoped she’d walk through the door one day. That she’d hold my face, look me in the eye, and tell me she was sorry for ever leaving me.I knew it was stupid.But it was still hope.But I guess that day would never come.And that was fine. Kasmine and Jorja were doing a great job at keeping me happy the best way the

  • Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother   Chapter 191

    KESTER.I didn't know the first damn thing about consoling my mate. What could I even say to patch up a wound that deep? Claire's death had shattered her, and watching her crumble this way gutted me.Claire's death made me fear for my best friend's life. He was still unconscious. The doctors said he had hit his head too hard and that his wolf had gone Mia. That was never a good sign.The chances of Norlan waking up were painfully slim. But I had faith. I had to. I couldn't lose him. No fucking way.I had already put the culprit of this wicked act in their place. I was eager to go teach the desperate fool a lesson they'd never forget for the rest of their miserable lives.For now, they'd remain in my basement with mild torture to keep them busy until I make time to visit them myself.Earlier at the hospital, the decision of where to take Kasmine nearly tore me apart. She was safe at my house, but she'd be way too lonely, especially now that she was grieving. Leaving her isolated could
