Semua Bab Playing With My Stepbrother Is A Crime : Bab 31 - Bab 37

ETHAN Maya has disappeared like the rapture occurred and she was the only one taken. I thought I was crazy when I waited in the car for almost an hour and she didn't come out. The parking lot is empty when I decide to leave my car and look for her around. I'm pissed off, I'm supposed to go over to Gail's and play video games. I go to her classroom, but she is not there. There is not a single person there. I check the library, the restrooms, every nook and corner, but she seems to have just evaporated. I sight the janitor mopping the floor. He stops when he sees me, it's obvious he is not expecting to see any students by this time. “Hi, Samson.” I wave briefly. “What's up, Ethan?” He continues to mop with a small smile. “Hey, have you seen this girl around? Brunette, about this tall–” “Are you talking about your stepsister?” He asks. I bite down my lips. “Sure. Her.” “There isn't another soul in here. Is she missing or something?” “No,” I quickly answer, scratching my eye

ETHAN I feel myself transfixed in a spot, and I can't bring myself to move. No matter how hard I try. He is staring at me with a murderous look in his eyes, but I also want to kill him. How the hell did he find out about the mate mark? Is that why she was struggling to cover it up the other day? Because he knew our secret? My eyes move to the side and I see Maya with her eyes glistening with tears. I don't try to hide my look of betrayal in her. I kept it a secret because I wanted to protect her, more than even myself. I told her not to tell anyone. Why is it so hard for her to just listen to me? “I didn't tell him, I swear.” She shakes her head. “I don't know how he found out, I didn't say a word to him.” Cole moves to stand directly in front of her, so that I can't see her face anymore. “You should be ashamed of yourself for taking advantage of her.” He grunts. “You storm ridges are really the worst of the worst.” “Fuck you, Bennett. You don't know the first thing about me

MAYA I get into the front and shut the door after me. Ethan is pissing me off, and he is still in the house right now with Cole. I'm sure they are still arguing up to this moment, and I don't know what to do with them. They are never going to be friends, I am so sure of that. Color me shocked when they step out of the house side-by-side. I mean, they are not holding hands or anything, but they are not grabbing at each other's necks either. Ethan gets into the driver's seat, while Cole comes to my side. “Hey, princess,” he says fondly. I would have asked him to stop, but his nickname has kind of grown on me. Besides, he gets a pass after everything that he has done for me. “Thank you,” I say for the one thousandth time. “Please, I was just doing what is expected of me.” He says. He has something wrapped under kitchen foil, and it smells like a baked piece of heaven. “The kitchen girls baked you a cake. They are happy you visited, and they want you to come back soon.” I lau

ETHAN My shower is taking longer than usual. My hands are going up and down my back as I stare into nothing. Maya is on my mind, like always, and I'm wondering what I am going to do with her. I have tried to control myself around her, but it has become worse now that her wolf has come out. Her body is warmer than before, and her scent is stronger than ever. This would only mean that more males will be attracted to her. Unfortunately, I'm one of them now, and the thought of others wanting her makes my stomach turn. “Mark her…” my wolf whispers to me in a hypnotic tone. “Shut up.” I growl, wiping my hands over my face. “You are trying to get me killed.” “She is your mate, claim her….” To claim her means to have sex with her, and I don't think I can bring myself to do that– even though that's what I want more than anything in the world…Nah, fuck it. I have to get some relief for myself, especially if I want to be levelheaded around her. I get out of the shower and put on my cl
