Mated to my step-brother

Anna's POV “Mate,” I whispered with wide eyes.What! How's this possible for someone like me?Of course, I heard about people getting second mates, but for someone like me to be this lucky… I can't believe it.Is this a drill?Why the hell would the goddess glue me up with someone extremely powerful? Was she trying to make me go through the pain of losing a mate all over again?As I stared at the Lycan king's face, I could see his eyes widened with surprise, gazing fiercely at me. Then a small smile curled on his lips.What's with the smile? Who would be happy to be mates with someone with my past, especially you?“Release her.” I heard him order the guards gripping me, his voice firm, carrying a sense of great authority.The guards let go of me immediately as he ordered them to.Suddenly, he began to walk towards me and my heart began to beat rapidly as my head dotted with sweat.I took a step back away from him, afraid.As I looked up at him again, his face lined with worry.Just s

Anna's POV “Peter!” My stepdad yelled, “Have you gone mad?! How dare you say that?” his face flaming with raw, intense anger.As Peter said that, I felt my jaw drop as I gasped in shock, my heart starting to race.How could he say that just for someone worthless like me?As my eyes traveled through the dining table, I could see Charlotte glaring at me with a devilish smirk on her lips while Peter’s sister focused on her food without paying any attention to the drama happening. "No Dad,” Peter replied, “And I will say it again!”I felt a shiver run down my spine as he said that, look what I've done!“You and Mum have known how long I have been searching for my mate, and finally, I’ve found her. Now you're telling me to reject her and go into a loveless relationship with that thing over there?” He pointed at Charlotte.“Fuck no.” He ended his statement.Step Dad shook his head in irritation,“You fool! That thing you're calling your mate is my stepdaughter!” He snapped, the word bitin

Peter's POV “Charlotte!” I yelled in anger, causing her to drop my mate down to the ground.“Oh hey honey!” Charlotte's eyes widened with a stunned smile plastered on her stupid face.For fuck sake, I don't know how many times I’ve told this bitch never to call me that; it fucking irritates me, and at times, it tempts me to cut off her tongue.“What are you doing here?” She looked surprised, not expecting me in the ladies’ room, but I kept glaring at her before quickly rushing towards Anna, my brows raised in concern as I watched her grasp for air.“Are you alright?” I whispered, holding her face in my hand, but she didn't answer; she covered her throat with her hands, coughing rapidly, her face getting all red and fear creeping inside of me.I looked down at her neck; I could see a red liquid coming down from a small opening that fueled my anger.“Let me at that bitch!!” Mike, my hot-headed wolf yelled, threatening to come out and launch against that living thing that stood close to

Peter's POV I furrowed my brows and gritted my teeth as my palms clenched into strong fists, to the point I could feel my claws digging into my skin, letting blood flow out.Suddenly, I pushed my Dad forcefully away from Anna, my blood staining his white top.“What the hell?” I roared, “How dare you lay your hands on her!” I glared at him, threatening to land a punch on his face.My Dad's eyes widened, and everyone in the room was stunned by my sudden action; I knew they saw me as a disrespectful son, but I didn’t fucking care about that.My Dad has no audacity to hit my mate in front of me.He scoffed as he glared at me, not believing the fact his son would fight against him.“How dare you fight against your father!” My Mum bellowed as she slammed her hand loudly on the table before rising from the couch and walking towards us, her palms into fists. “Why would you protect this witch you call mate, hmm? After what she has done to Charlotte!” Mum yelled, glaring at me before her eyes

Peter's POV “Hmm.” Michella let out a sigh as she removed the stethoscope. “Her heart’s still beating… but barely.” She told me, making my heart skip a beat.“But it's only a neck injury, how's that possible?” I asked, furrowing my brow in confusion as I ran my fingers through Anna's cheek, caressing it.Michelle scoffed a little at what I said before speaking,“She has a fragile neck, and this isn’t just about the surface injury. The neck houses critical arteries, and even minor trauma can cause a cascade of issues, swelling, reduced blood flow to the brain, or worse.” She explained, looking at my face, which was etched with confusion to what she said.“It’s best if we take her to the pack hospital where she can get proper treatment.” She broke the situation down for me.“Alright, let's go,” I said quickly, taking Anna’s body into my arms as I stood up, her chest rising and falling slowly as her face turned a bit pale.As I turned to leave, I saw my mum glaring at me with her breat
