Jace's POV

While both of us were staring dead into each other’s eyes while fighting the brewing tension, the sound of my phone notification snapped us out of our wild thoughts, and I moved to a corner to check what the message was about.

“You need to get here immediately.” The message read, leaving me completely speechless.

I signalled Liana about leaving, and she rolled her eyes before leaving with me. I couldn’t stop thinking about what could need my urgent attention. Even though I know Caleb can be really annoying, I chose to believe him and see what it’s about.

“You chickened out.” I was about to enter the car when I heard what she said.

“You don’t mean that, right?”

“Stop pretending like you don’t know what I’m talking about.” She replied to me and hopped into the car. This time she took the driver’s seat.

“I’m driving us back; don’t even think of doing it.” I said to her angrily.

“I am not as patient as you think. Who knows, you might find your way back alone; after all, you’re

  • My New Stepbrother, My Mate   Chapter 27

    Liana's POVThe first day I had a conversation with him, he seemed like a very nice person and a genuine friend as well, but all of a sudden I started to get the bad energy from him because he continued saying a lot of horrible things about where I am staying without even thinking about how I feel about it.And now he is here to see me; the same place he said so many bad things about is where he is presently standing just because he wants both of us to hang out together.I decided to act okay and not behave somehow towards him because at the end of the day we decided to be friends, and having a conversation with him was very nice, so maybe I can look past the nonsense he said and just be friends with him.“I knew you wouldn't be expecting me here today, which is why I decided to come and pay you a surprise visit, and I'm happy I got you just the way I wanted.” I couldn't hold in the blush anymore because he was really smooth with his words, which is something that I would give him a t

  • My New Stepbrother, My Mate   Chapter 26

    Jace's POVAll through the party I was trying my best not to notice her presence here. I tried to be occupied with different things so that I wouldn’t notice her here, but it was very difficult for me to do that knowing that she was having a conversation with Mark. He is someone that we don’t associate with because the Royal family has a kind of past with his family, and he’s always speaking ill about them.I wanted to go there several times, but I stopped myself because I don’t want to have any conversation with Mark, and seeing her laugh with him is so upsetting.So the moment the party ended, I thought that was a perfect opportunity to leave with her.“Jace!” She yelled at the top of her voice, forcing her hand out of my grip. I was completely speechless; I didn’t know what to say when she yelled at me like that because I realized that I was really hurting her.“What were you two talking about?” I asked her. I really don’t know why I was asking her this question right now because I

  • My New Stepbrother, My Mate   Chapter 25

    Liana POVAll through the event I wasn’t comfortable because I wasn’t familiar with most of those faces; the only person that I was familiar with was Jace, and as usual he was trying everything possible to make shit, so he ignored me, and both of us didn’t have a conversation during the event. He did not even act like he knew me.I sat down with my mask still on my face because I was obviously not vibing with the energy around here, knowing that I don’t know anyone at the party.“Hello.” A young boy walked up to me and tried to shake hands with me. We are all in masks, so I can’t even identify who the person is. I guess the only mask I can recognize right now is Jace’s. Immediately his mask stands out as usual, and because he is the alpha son, his own has to be very different.I decided to use this opportunity to just have a conversation with anyone; after all, they are not going to know who I am because of the mask.“Hey,” I said softly.“My name is Mark.” I rolled my eyes when I hea

  • My New Stepbrother, My Mate   Chapter 24

    Writer's povWhen both of them got back to the house, Liana was still not feeling too well.“What happened to her?” "Alpha Damon?" he asked the moment he saw them walking into the house. He looked very worried about her, and it made Allison wonder why he is so caring towards Liana even though she's not his biological daughter.Allison hated it so much that Liana was getting so much attention from both father and son because that is the kind of feeling she wants for herself and not for anyone else. Even though she pretends not to notice, she sees the side eyes and the little stares both of them give each other, which are very flirtatious. She didn't want to start imagining too much between Jace and Liana because they don't even talk to each other as much as they used to, and she hadn't seen too much closeness between both of them, just that the way they behave sometimes can be really suspicious.Jace helped Liana to her room, which made Alison very jealous because of her feelings towar

    Liana's POVThe mask party is tomorrow, and I still don't feel excited about it even though I was very interested in the preparation. Jace is still not speaking to me, and this place is hella boring for me.I really miss where I'm coming from because over there I don't have to worry about being bored indoors. I have so many friends that I can go out with.While I was lying on the bed, I heard a knock on the door. I stood up immediately to get the door; shockingly, it was Allison.We already agreed on changing rooms so both of us are no longer sharing rooms, which makes me wonder why she's here now.“What are you doing here?” I asked her, a little upset.“I was bored staying all by myself in the room, so I decided to come here. After all, it used to be my room too.” I rolled my eyes, feeling a little upset because I hate it so much when she tries to act like she is the good person while I'm the mean one.I did not respond to what she said to me because I really don't want to have this

    Liana’s POVIn preparation for the mask party, I have been going out to not be left, which is very stressful for me because I have to prepare my dance with anyone that chooses to dance with me. The whole process was a very difficult one, and I just want it to come to an end because I am very stressed.Jace is still ignoring me, and my relationship with Ezra is getting better, and he is getting a little more comfortable around me. Even after getting close to him, I don’t see anything bad that he has done to make Jace treat him the way he always does. I know that I am still not aware of the whole story and why he is being like that towards him, but I still feel like it doesn’t give him the right to treat his relative that wayjust because his car is the Alpha.“I don’t know why I’m not finding this whole thing fun.” Ezra looked shocked to hear what I said because that was the most trendy party back then until it got canceled. Maybe because the hype is longer than the way it used to be, t
