บททั้งหมดของ Mated To My Hybrid brother : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Von The sharp pain in my stomach was intense, and it was caused by the intruder. He had kicked me, and as I grabbed my stomach he saw this as an opportunity to take control. He pushed me backward and then positioned himself on top of me, trying to push the knife closer to my chest. I knew one wrong move could mean my end. So I stayed still. The room was dark, and no matter how hard I tried to make out the person’s face I couldn’t.“Who are you?” I called out, my voice strained. “What do you want?” The figure stiffened at the sound of my voice. He hesitated, and that was all I needed. I seized the moment, gathering every bit of strength I had left, and I threw the person off me. He stumbled backward, falling to the ground, and into the dim light that filtered in from the window. My breathing stopped. It was Landon. It couldn’t be.“Landon!” I voiced and he turned to look at me with a shocking expression.“How could you?” I snarled, standing up quickly and lunging at him. I gra

RaeI smiled at Von after those words left my lips and said.Von didn’t reply. He just stared at me, shock flickering in his eyes. Honestly, I was a little surprised by my own actions, too. But not too surprised. After everything Von had been through, I figured he at least needed someone to talk to. Betrayal by a stranger was one thing, but betrayal by someone you trusted—that cut deeper. I knew that feeling all too well. I could still remember how much Kayla’s actions had hurt me. But Von’s case was worse. Landon had been his friend.The feeling of the tray leaving my hands caught my attention. I turned back, surprised to see that Von had taken it from me. He sat down in one of the chairs stationed on the terrace. “Finally you give in,” I said with a smile. He didn’t say anything, his face as unreadable as ever. Typical Von—always guarded, never showing too much. But even with his blank expression, I could see the pain in his eyes. "I don't know how I'm going to move past this,

Rae“Sorry!” I said as I bumped into someone.“Can’t you see where you’re going?” She snapped, turning to look at me.I noticed the girl looked like those ugly step-sisters in story books, with her long nose.“I’m sorry!” I repeated stifling a laugh.“You better be!” She spat, shooting me a glare and I flashed her an awkward smile. She turned to face the man she was talking to before I hit her, and as I glanced at her one more time I wondered if she had a mate and if she didn’t if she was ever going to find one.Pulling my gaze away, I quickly walked past her trying as much as possible not to bump into anyone else.My focus returned to Von. I had been walking for a second but there was no sign of him. Wasn’t he at the party?As I continued weaving through the crowd, I could feel eyes following me, lingering a bit too long. I felt weird about the attention I was getting. It had been so long since I’d been around so many people. The last time I’d gotten this kind of attention was bac

Rae "I hope you're not trying to kidnap me!" I teased as I followed Von down the lonely forest path. The night air was chilly, carrying the faint sounds of the Solstice party in the distance. We had managed to slip away unnoticed, the towering trees now our only company. Von scoffed. "Why would I kidnap a girl who already lives the life of a prisoner?" I rolled my eyes. "You just had to say that." He chuckled—actually chuckled. It was the first time I had ever heard him laugh, and the sound was… unexpectedly warm. It softened the sharp edges of his usual cold demeanor. For a fleeting moment, I forgot about his gruffness, and his mood swings, and just listened. His laughter was deep, rich, and oddly soothing. "I'm just stating facts," he said between chuckles, shaking his head. I smiled, shaking my head in return. "So, how much farther until we reach this secret place of yours?" Von had already taken a few long strides ahead, but he turned to glance at me over his sh

Rae“Well, that was weird,” I muttered, watching as Von stormed off down the hall. Anna, standing beside me, raised an eyebrow. “Weird?” she echoed. “Didn’t you see the way he was looking at you?” I frowned, shaking my head. “No, I didn’t.” Anna let out an exaggerated sigh. “He was staring at you like a lovesick puppy.” I scoffed. “You’ve lost your mind.” “I’m being serious!” Anna insisted, placing a hand on her hip. “I know what I saw, and I saw Von looking at you like you were the only person in the room.” I rolled my eyes. “You must’ve been seeing things.” “I wasn’t,” she said smugly. “And I think he’s softening toward you. He took you to a secluded place, didn’t he? You really think that’s just some random spot?” “It wasn’t special,” I argued. “He probably just wanted to get me away from the party. That’s all.” Anna crossed her arms. “You’re really going to act like you can’t see the signs?” “There are no signs,” I shot back. “You need to stop with this nonsens
