Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

(Warning: Slightly Mature Content ahead. Not Explicit)My heart sank the second those words came out of Kieran's mouth. His Mom is... Dead?I mean, I'd assumed that the original Luna of this pack had separated with Alpha Viktor or something. Who wouldn't?... The guy was a walking red flag.But dead?"I– I don't know what to say," I muttered, speechless. I raised my head to meet the despondent look flickering in Kieran's eyes. He seemed oddly calm for someone who just discovered something so shocking and heartbreaking.Eventually, after a while, he shook his head, a scowl appearing on his face. "That manipulative bastard." He scoffed, tilting his head away from me.My brows snapped into a frown. Was he referring to his Dad, or...?Struggling to find the right words, I finally spoke up. "Kieran, I know this... This probably doesn't mean a lot, but you can talk to me." I said, hesitantly placing my hand on his back.However, I almost regretted it when he whipped his head back, snarling w

I gulped, hesitating to speak especially with the way my mother was looking at us. She glanced suspiciously at Jin who just stood there with a stoic expression, scrutinizing me as if he was anticipating my next response. Eventually, I chuckled nervously and spoke. "Mom. I haven't forgotten about our arrangement to hang out today. Mr. Kisaragi here..." I paused, flinching when I saw Jin arch an eyebrow when I addressed him formally. I couldn't address him by his first name while Mom was here. That'll make her even more suspicious and I probably wouldn't hear the end of it since she'd try prying to get more information out of me. Anyway, I continued, ignoring the expression on Jin's face. "... Mr. Kisaragi was just here to talk about school." I smiled, cursing myself mentally for that weak ass lie. Meanwhile, Umbra sniggered inside my head. "Yeah, your Mom is not buying that." Luna added as well. "You should've just told her the truth that Jin is being a creep. She's the Luna of th

Kieran~~Everything had been like a fever dream. Nimue and I found ourselves in my father's study, looking to uncover similar secrets. The way she seemed to be drawing closer to me made me oddly excited, and I couldn't help teasing her at any opportunity I got.However, what I hadn't expected was the revelation I uncovered from my father's hidden documents in his study. The documents were hospital records of my mother's illness, as well as copies of written statements from my father to the Alpha council about the 'Luna's' disheartening demise.My... My mother was dead. I'd thought something was wrong with my father's silence about her whereabouts, but I'd never expected him to be evil enough to hide it from me. I never got to say goodbye...No! I'll confront the bastard once and for all.Meanwhile, should we talk about the kiss with Nimue? Cause fuck, it was electric! I'd never felt so alive in a long time. Kissing Lucille always felt like I was forcing myself to eat a meal I didn't

The drive to school on Monday morning the next week was agonizing. Nimue joined me and I didn't even complain. Perhaps there was trouble in paradise with her and Jin...I sniggered to myself at that thought but kept quiet, my mind still processing the events of the weekend. Apart from the revelation of my mother's death and my lost Lycan title, I still had my suspicions about Jin, especially after Lucille said he saw him covered in blood where he stood on the balcony of Nimue's room. "Ugh, are we still thinking about that?" Scratch commented inside my head. I could almost picture his eye roll as he continued. "It's well known that Lucille is incompetent in anything she does. She probably didn't see Jin clearly that night."While that was true, Lucille was still a werewolf and still had the eyesight of one. There was no way she could've made such a mistake.I shook my head. The scent of blood that night made me know a human had probably been killed there. In Nimue's room. She should

Nimue~~I blinked repeatedly, unable to believe the message on my phone screen. Kieran wanted us to meet after the end of lectures today. At the abandoned football field. No matter how hard I thought about it, it still seemed like a bad idea and even Umbra agreed with that thought."How sure are you that it's Kieran who sent that? You don't even have his number and the caller ID is unknown." He pointed out in my head. As for Luna, she scoffed. "Please! You're just saying that because you don't want things to work out between Kieran and Nimue." She uttered with certainty.Umbra responded with disdain. "No, I'm saying that because I don't want us to get in trouble or worse. I think it's better if we call the number and confirm if it's really –"Before Umbra could finish his statement, Nadia turned back and called me. "Hello? Earth to Nimue?" Her voice brought me out of my trance as I blinked, staring awkwardly at Nadia who had a worried expression on her face. "You blanked out the
