My Step-Brother, My Bully

"Can you stop this mom’s habit?" I looked at my mom in disgust. What she was doing was making me tired.I saw all kinds of liquor bottles on the table right next to where she lay her head. I saw her semi-conscious and moaning, looking at me. "Don't set me up!" Se looked at me sharply. "If I want to drink, that's my business. You have no right to tell me what I want and don't want to do." She slapped her hand on the wooden table slowly and powerlessly.I sighed at the pitiful sight of my mother, which continued to happen almost every night. I couldn't remember exactly when her habit started, but it was clear that this kind of situation had been going on for a long time.I picked up the other scattered bottles, placing them in a box to keep them safe. The last time, it was because of a bottle that had fallen and broken. My mother's foot had been injured by stepping on a piece of glass without realising it, and I was in trouble for it. When my mother is conscious, it's hard enough for me

"You must be happy that the future alpha Atlas is your stepbrother now." When I was on campus, Donna approached me and suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone, I stared straight ahead, keeping my demeanor in front of her.Where was the fun she was referring to?Ever since Mom got married, I'd had a horrible, hard day in that house thanks to Atlas' treatment. So I thought I might feel calmer when I came to school, but instead, they came up to me and started talking about Atlas.They made me tired."You've suddenly gotten lucky because your mother married alpha Harry."I glanced at her as I continued walking. "Yes," I answered hee, not wanting to make things worse or invite more questions if I answered his words with a rebuttal.She looked at me sarcastically, her face bent and grim. "But you, you must watch your attitude before Atlas. Don't be impudent or even dare to flirt with him." She stopped me in my tracks by stopping right in front of me. "You hear?!" her tone of voice rose. I could

"Why did you bring me to this place?" I turned my face towards Atlas, and he seemed unconcerned at my rather excited reaction.Atlas opened his car door. Before getting out, he said in his consistent tone that always sounded cold, "Get off now."I gave him an annoyed look, my hand twisting my fingers, and chose to stay in the car. I was reluctant to get off in front of the biggest clothing store in Voskon city. There were too many people there; I started to feel uncomfortable and nervous imagining myself walking in their midst.Especially now that I was with Atlas. The people there would undoubtedly notice us because Atlas' presence wherever he went attracted the attention of the people around him.I turned my attention to Atlas, standing in front of the car's hood; she was tapping on the hood while looking coldly at me, signaling me to get out.He didn't understand what I was feeling. The pressure was intense.My heart pounded, and I began to fidget, the strangers making me reluctant

"It's all because of Atlas!" I closed my bedroom door rather loudly, put my bag down haphazardly, and quickly headed for the toilet.I shuddered as I looked at my condition in the mirror. My jaw hardened, clenching tightly as I stared at my messy hair and my exposed chest, revealing the underwear I was wearing. I took the shirt off and threw it in the trash can, small in the corner of the toilet.Letting the water run down my body immediately, I looked down while watching my legs. "Their behavior is so disgusting. How could they treat me like that?" I rubbed the part of my body that they touched hard, feeling something disgusting sticking there."If Atlas wasn't in my life, this wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't be subjected to this kind of humiliation." I cried under the blazing shower water.I had never felt this abused by anyone before. I wasn't treated well early, but those guys only verbally attacked me. Even Donna and Liam may have been rude, but not with abuse. Because of that

"What are you doing?" I swatted Atlas' hand away hard, but it didn't budge even an inch.My eyes stared at him fixedly and boldly. I no longer cared about what he did to me.All the images of the mistreatment I received overlapped in my memory. They appeared like a long scene and made my emotions uncontrollable. My chest was tight, and I was so tormented."How could I be your eyes... Atlas? I don't want that to happen. I didn't want to have any relationship with you, not even being your half-brother, but I held back because of Mom. Then what happens now?!" I spoke quickly, and my tone of voice was not pleasant.Atlas' blue eyes looked at me intently. His face looked flat. Either he was angry because of what I said, or he was upset because he didn't want to get this kind of fate either.I opened my mouth to groan soundlessly as something pressed painfully against my chest, my eyebrows twitching. My heart beat sluggishly, and my hands and body trembled from the pain.I felt the bonds wi
