Fated To My Cruel Step-Brother and His Enemy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Nimue~~Argh, it was Kieran! The jerk had the guts to grab me on my shoulder and drag me so close to his body. What the heck was he thinking?"K– Kieran?" I managed to blurt out, my eyes traveling from his face to his hand on my shoulder. He looked... Worried? Of me? His eyes lingered on mine, causing my breath to cease. Why did this guy always have this effect on me? Why couldn't he take the hint that I didn't want him?To hell with the mate bond, Kieran is my brother!"Step-Brother." Luna corrected shamelessly. I didn't have time for any of this. To add to my growing frustration, the oversized Barbie doll who'd dared insult my mom spoke again. "Oh, no, let her come at me! Let me show her that she's nothing but a petty gold digger who'll grovel at my feet."What in the moon's name?"We can't take all this insult, Nimue. Ignore Mr. Wannabe Alpha here and teach that idiot a lesson." Umbra growled inside me, clawing aggressively when I looked at the girl. However, Luna seemed to

I turned to meet the stern gaze of Nadia's aunt Beatrice at the entrance of the manor. She squinted her eyes as she walked out into the gloominess of the compound. She looked like your typical ‘office siren' and wore a pair of transparent glasses and had black hair that was tied into a bun. She wore a black skirt that reached her knees and a black suit. Damn, she was fine...However, I couldn't help wondering if the glasses were a weird fashion trend within Nadia's family. It was a well-known fact that Vampires didn't have any defects, like werewolves. Being supernatural made us above those."Good afternoon, Ms. Beatrice." Jin took the lead and stepped forward, using his charm to his advantage. "Sorry to intrude, but we're here to see your niece, Nadia. She's a friend of ours from school."The woman snapped her brows into a frown. "Friend?" She tilted her head before turning her gaze to me. I froze, trying to avoid her intimidating gaze. It seemed she'd finally recognized me."You.

Crap, crap, crap!I'd bumped into Kieran and spilled the drink he was holding on him in the process. But hold up, what did he just call me?"He's teasing you, oh my gosh!" Luna squealed, clawing desperately inside me. "Nimue, you have to make a move on him. Show him you're interested too."My head pounded as I struggled to ignore Luna. Meanwhile, Kieran kept on ranting. "This shirt can pay off half your tuition fees. And now look at what you've done to it!" He fumed, his face turning red from anger. Or probably from the accumulation of stupidity up in his head. Seriously, what the heck? I didn't know who was more delusional between him and Luna, but at least now I knew why she liked him. I forced a smile before apologizing. "Listen, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't see you there, and I didn't mean to spill your drink on you." Well, that should solve the issue, right? Well, turns out I was freaking wrong. I tried walking past Kieran to get into the kitchen, but he kept stepping in my wa

As always, Kieran put extra effort into looking dashing. He wore a clean black suit and had his hair styled, highlighting his eyes. The same eyes that were now fixed on me. My face heated up as I remembered what happened earlier today. The creep had seen me naked!Argh, I felt like splashing some water on his face, but how could I when he looked so freaking handsome?"By the moon, how does someone avoid their step-brother, who's also their mate, when they're THAT handsome?" I asked Luna and Umbra, allowing myself to get delusional for a second.However, Umbra snapped me right out of it. "Pull yourself together, Nimue! This is Kieran Silverstein, remember? The same guy who tarnished your reputation barely a second after you and your mother arrived here. Let's not pretend like he's some charming prince simply because Luna here has bad taste in mates." He gave Luna a mental scowl at the end of his talk.Luna objected with a snarl. "Look who's talking! Of all the eligible bachelors in th

As much as I hated admitting it, Nimue looked stunning even in her simple black dress. Her hair flowed gracefully as she walked gently down the stairs. Just then, her gaze met mine and it seemed like time stopped. Her eyes squinted at first but soon enough, she looked as entranced as I was. I couldn't help grinning and gave her a wink, but that caused her to look away in embarrassment. She was probably still furious that I'd seen her naked, but I had no regrets.The dinner went just the way I expected it at first, with Nimue not following my instructions and bringing drama with her. My father ignored her rude remarks all through, but I knew my old man well enough to know that she'd touched a nerve or two.When Dad brought up the mating ceremony and the incident with the young males of the pack, I knew shit was about to get real. I tried to act calm, but how could I when he stared directly at me while talking about 'wolf-repellant powders'? Damn it, I told that bitch Lucille to be c
