My Stepsister Is My Mate

Leanor's spine rigidified, yet she stayed cool headed, as though she had just barely remembered him. "Hello Rufus..." Rufus casually slid one hand into his pocket and sneered. "Just Hello Rufus?" His voice dropped to a profound and capturing tone. Purposely faking pleasantness and distance, Leanor went about like she didn't have any acquaintance with him. Rufus' long eyelashes marginally brought down, his look focused all over. As he paid attention to her impacted voice, his tone developed considerably more far off. "Not so much as an embrace, huh?" Smothering a dry grin, Leanor held her self-control briefly before considerately answering, "Not today. I'm in a rush." Rufus frowned and peered down at her condescendingly, his attractive highlights stressed by the faint lighting. A gleam of bothering streaked through his demeanor. Separating his dainty lips, he snickered at himself. "No doubt, Leanor Ford, if i shift on my eighteenth birthday celebration and find out that you

When Violet first saw Leanor, she assumed she was showing off a bag, but she was unaware that the item inside was a limited-edition Chanel scarf. This one was even beyond her budget. According to the company, the remaining items were reserved for the celebrities and could not be sold out. Violet's face took on an unattractive appearance. While everyone else dispersed to take part in the get togather activities, Leanor and Rufus remained by the water fall. Although Rufus's clothes were being blown by the river wind, she dared not look him in the eyes because they were even more captivating at night. Leanor asked, "What are you doing here?" Still a little embarrassed. Rufus extended his hand and Leanor's key was there on his fingertips. Unconsciously, Leanor extended her hand to accept it. "I had no idea it fell. "Rufus held up his hand to keep it from going to her. There were many things in his deep, complex eyes that she was unable to make sense of. Leanor wanted her key firs

When Leanor stepped out of the house, the guard greeted her with a warm smile and said, "Good morning, Ms. Carter." Leanor was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Did you just call me Ms. Carter?" The guard's smile grew brighter as he replied, "Yes, that's correct. Do you have any plans for the day?" Ignoring the title, Leanor responded numbly, "Yes, I need to run some errands." The guard smiled kindly and said, "Alright, take care on the road." Leanor felt slightly more at ease with the guard's friendly demeanor. She headed towards her new house to check on the progress. Although most of the floor tiles had been laid, the house had an unpleasant smell. She decided to visit the village market to find a better exterior design for her new home. After finding something she liked, she made the purchase and left. As she descended the stairs, her flower vase accidentally fell onto a car parked below, leaving a small scratch on its white body. Startled, Leanor immediately stopped to

In the evening, after Leanor returned home from her new house, Raina contacted her through their mind link and inquired about her whereabouts. "Hey you home? I'm less busy now.."Leanor quickly came up with an excuse to dissuade Raina, fearing that she would ask more questions and found it she's with Rufus. "There's no need for you to visit me. I've already found a house and a roommate."Raina hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you sure? No need at all?"Leanor nodded confidently, even though Raina couldn't physically see her."Yes, I'm sure."Raina ended the conversation with doubt, and Leanor let out a sigh of relief.However, she remained wide awake until two o'clock in the morning, unable to find sleep. Eventually, she decided to get out of bed and take a walk.For some reason, Rufus turned on all the lights on the first floor, including the ones on the balcony. This prevented Leanor from facing complete darkness when she stepped outside, ensuring that she wouldn't be fr

After finishing her meal, Leanor dismissed Alice and Raina, and walked out of the hall. She stopped at the Academy back gate, enveloped by towering trees and vibrant shrubs. Sighing, she settled on the grass, absentmindedly picking up stones and hurling them into the bush. Her mind wandered back to her days in middle school and then back at Gifted Academy. Gifted Academy, a world- famed institution for werewolves. The hostel is a sturdy, stone building located within the school grounds, surrounded by dense forests. The entrance features a large, iron gate with moon-shaped engravings. Each room is tastefully decorated with shades of earthy colors and has comfortable wooden beds, each equipped with soft, durable bedding. Upon her arrival at the academy, Leanor was charmed by its distinctness, a stark discrepancy to the outside world, hidden from plain sight. Attending Gifted Academy was a source of immense pride for all werewolves, and Leanor had fought tooth and nai
