Mated To The Alpha Stepbrother

Vinorca Jona POV"How dare you!" he shouted, causing me to jump on the spot.Like, he would surely murder me without even thinking twice.I attempted to take a few more steps to run away from here, to reach a safer place, somewhere better than staying here. But my legs didn't take me anywhere.I needed to run; that's what I knew, but my body and head both went into a state where I couldn't do anything properly."F*uck!!! Vinorca, did you forget what I said last time?" he questioned.I could feel the heat of his words spreading inside my numb body.How could I forget what he said before? I could never forget it, that's for sure. Every day, every night, I remember what happened three years ago.That was the day this monster ruined my peace more than he did ten years ago by adopting me.Three years ago, I was guileless but not gullible.That was my first time rejecting Dante. "One day, you'll beg me." His icy tone spread from his mouth.Those were the words he spoke.After that, he left

Vinorca Jona POV‘You're going to be late for university,’ my conscience interrupts my thoughts, jolting me out of bed.Rushing to the bathroom, I took a quick shower and threw on some old, shabby clothes, grabbing my backpack before darting out of my room. Being late is not an option, not when I'm already a scholarship student; one slip-up could spell disaster.I hurry out of the house, eager to avoid any encounters, especially with Dante and his taunts. His mere presence is enough to throw me off balance, a harbinger of trouble.As I walk briskly, trying to slip away unnoticed, a familiar car pulls up beside me. Damn! Just what I wanted to avoid. Dante had caught me before I could make my escape."Get in," he ordered, rolling down the window.His voice sends shivers down my spine, a mix of fear and apprehension clouding my mind. Why does he want me in his car? What does he want from me now?I try to process his words. Is he really asking me to get in? Wasn't I forbidden from even gr

Vinorca Jona POV "Sure," they both said in unison before leaving me alone. "What's this all about? I'm friends with both of you. There's no need to fight like this," I chuckled and asked. "But this idiot doesn't get it. She always makes me feel like I'm not your friend. Like you're only her friend," Lewis complained, looking like a child. "He's right. You only got to meet and be friends with Vinorca because of me. So be grateful," Amanda cursed, rolling her eyes. She had a point. I used to feel awkward around them, but in the three years since, things have improved. We went through high school together and are now in university. Their possessiveness was flattering, but the name-calling to each other was unnecessary. "So what? She's closer to me now. And watch your tongue. I'm still older than you. No way you can talk to your big bro like this." "Hahah! Hahah!" I burst out laughing. Whenever Lewis mentioned he was older, I couldn't help but laugh. He didn't act his age; at eigh

Vinorca Jona POV"Where have you been?" "Dante?" I mumbled, feeling a wave of pain as he pinned me against the wall."Oh! I'm glad you remember my name, but I asked you something. How about giving me an answer?" He spoke, his breath fanning over my face."I was... at the university," I stuttered, uncertain of what he wanted me to say."Is that so? Can I trust this?" He questioned me, his hand shifting from my shoulder to my neck, causing me to gasp in fear as he applied pressure."Yes," I answered, trying to keep my voice steady."Vinorca, do you know what I hate most?"How would I know what he hates most? Still, one thing I know is that he definitely hates me, from the bottom of his heart."Answer me, Vinorca!" He shouted, making me jump to my feet, my whole body shaking in fear."I don't," I immediately replied, without even seeing his face. Even in the dark room, I could tell he was angry, but why? "You made that call, right?" I continued."Let me tell you, I hate it most when you

Vinorca Jona POV I nodded. "Thank you, sir," I said as I stood up to leave."Whatever we talked about today, keep it a secret,” he added.Without replying, I walked out of the office, my thoughts swirling. He wanted to control me. Wasn't he satisfied making my life miserable at home? Now, even at school, he wouldn’t leave me alone—such a bastard."Vin!"Amanda's voice startled me. She ran towards me and hugged me tightly, her grip almost crushing. I was grateful no one else was around to see my embarrassment."What happened, Amanda?" I asked, hearing her weeping."My dad sent Lewis abroad for further studies," she cried, her sobs echoing in the empty hallway."How? Why? He was here until yesterday," I said, my mind reeling. This had to be Dante’s doing. This was what he meant when he said he would make sure I never saw Lewis again."Even I don't know. He just did it without any reason. Lewis was so angry and sad because he didn’t get to see you," Amanda said, breaking the hug and wip
