Kayden’s pov

I slowly woke up to the bright light shining from the windows as I turned around and stared at the white ceiling. Somehow I had woken up mad but I didn’t know why.

Last night was a blur.

I groaned and turned on my side.

“what the hell did I even do?” I whispered to myself.

My phone buzzed.

I ignored it as it buzzed again.

I sighed and picked it up from the nightstand. A text had come through from an unknown number.

“Good morning babe! Did you sleep well?”

I blinked at the screen.

“Babe?”

I sat up in bed.

“Who the hell is this?”

No sooner had I hit send than my phone started buzzing again. Same unknown number. I scowled, tempted to not answer, but my curiosity got the better of me, so I hit the green button and put the damn thing to my ear.

“Hello?” I said.

“Oh my god! You answered!” a girl screamed.

I pulled the phone away from my ear a bit. My head already hurts.

"Who is this?"

“Haha, you’re crazy!” she laughed. “It’s me. Lena! Remember?”

“Lena?”

I tried to think hard

  • Mated to My New Stepbrother    Chapter 43

    Kayden’s povI stretched in bed, my entire body sore from the work out yesterday. I looked at the sun beaming in the light the window and got up. Today I didn’t want to do anything but my muscles hurt.I needed a nice dip in the pool. That would help.I got up, not bothering to put on more than my briefs, and made my way to the pool near my room. There were still no people wandering about this late in the morning- everyone was probably either getting ready for their day or eating breakfast before it started.That’s when I saw her. Zane.She was walking out of Mira’s room and quietly closing the door behind her. When she saw me, her eyes went a little wide.“Wow. Don’t expect to see an almost naked man before me this morning.”I ignored her jab. “What were you doing in Mira’s room?”She got nervous for a second, but then laughed to play it off cool. “Just visiting a friend. Girl talk.”I arched my brow. “This early?”She crossed her arms, then glanced at my chest and abs, her gaze dri

    Mira’s povI woke up the next day feeling a bit nervous.Today was the date with Lucas. I still didn’t know how I felt about it. I didn’t ask for this… relationship. But it was happening anyways.I sat up with a yawn and looked around. Then with a lazy groan I got out of bed and brushed my teeth while staring in the mirror.I could have easily rejected but I had accepted to go with him. Now I was left with no choice but to go with him.I then washed my face and knew it wasn’t enough as I had my bath and readied myself for this.When I got out I found out my hair was a mess.It made me look like a fool. I was still fixing it when a knock came on my door.“Come in,” I called. It was Zane. She entered and was shocked to see me dressed.“Bonjour,” she smiled. “Good morning. I can’t get my hair to stop tangling. I hate this.”She glanced over me. “You look like you have plans today.”I gave her a look. “Of course I do. I’m going on a date.”Her eyes lit up like fireworks. “With who? Shi

    Mira’s povI didn’t say anything right away. I lowered my eyes to the ground and looked at my hands. They were shaking slightly."I didn't know my mother would do that," I said softly. "It wasn't planned. I didn't know."Kayden laughed a small laugh again, but it wasn’t a funny one, and there was pain in it. "Yeah, right,” he said. “Sure, Mira. You didn’t know.”I looked at him then. His jaw was set. His eyes were like steel. But I saw the agony inside.“It’s a fact,” I said. “She called me a couple hours ago and spilled it. I had half a mind not to come.”“Could’ve said no,” he said.I sighed. “You know I can’t always say no to her. She’s… she’s still my mother. And I still belong to this pack. To this family. We have to follow rules.”“Yeah?” he said, turning to look at me now. “So that’s it? Follow rules, do what you’re told, marry who they pick?”I looked away.He shook his head. “And what about me?” he said. “Don’t,” I whispered. “Don’t say that.”“I have to know.”“And what abo

    Mira’s povI walked slowly beside Lucas to his car. I could feel the air blowing past me as I felt calm. “You know, I don’t expect to be surprised like that tonight,” he said.I smiled back. “It’s okay. I understand.”“I’m hoping you’re not mad at me or anything. It’s not my fault.”I wasn't. I shook my head.He nodded but still looked unsure. “How about we make this work.”“Look, I don’t feel like dating anyone yet.”Lucas laughed quietly. “So I guess you’re dating your step brother then? That’s… weird.”I frowned, a little hurt at his assumption. “Kayden is just being protective of me. Nothing else. So, don’t worry about that.”Lucas smiled. "Sorry if I sounded rude. I didn't mean that." “I don’t like how you made it look.”He stepped closer. "I really am sorry. We can just date. We don't have to rush. We can see how it goes."I nodded slowly. “Okay.” He smiled big and opened his arms. I felt a little shy but I stepped into his hug. It was warm and a little nice. I pulled back af

    Kayden’s povI walked up to Lena. My heart beat very fast. I wondered what she was doing here anyway. “What in the world are you doing here? This is a private party,” I said as I gripped her arm and took her to a secluded area.“I came to see you.”I frowned, shaking my head. "You should go home. This is not a place for you."She looked me straight in the eyes. "No, I want to stay. I want to see you."Before I could say more, footsteps came from behind me. I spun around to see my father and mother walking toward us. Others trailed with them. They all halted and stared.My father’s eyes slitted. “Who is this girl?” he demanded in a voice that was low but carried weight.I looked at Mira. She was standing silently near a flower, her face calm but her eyes sharp and paying attention to everything. My mouth suddenly went dry. I was about to speak when Lena took a tiny step forward and said in a clear loud voice,“I’m Lena and I am Kayden’s girlfriend.”“Fuck me,” I muttered as I closed m
