Semua Bab Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim : Bab 31 - Bab 40

~Hannah~“Hannah Darling!” Linda squeals and sways towards me. “How are you?” She asks, grabbing my arms like we are friends who are seeing each other after a long while. I'm confused because I remember the last time she was here we weren't exactly this close or even close enough to get her excited. “I’m–I’m fine…” I stutter. “Hannah Blanco.” I hear my name and briefly look away from Linda. I hadn't noticed we had more than one surprise guest other than Linda. At the same time, Nathan arrives. This new woman walks over to me. Her gaze is unflickering and her posture straight and domineering. She's holding a staff and it's almost like it's only the white portion of her eyes that she has. You can't tell if she's looking at you or not but I can feel her pierce me. She's a few inches from me when her strong scent whizzes into my nostrils. Nina catches it, processes it and reveals to me she's a witch. “She’s a witch. I brought her here to cleanse this house. I don't want any other non

~Nathan~I get a message that Liam is asking of me. I shrug but head there anyways—to the building he shares with Hannah and Olivia. Entering the living room and I smell Hannah's scent and gulp thickly. She hates me now. I've been racking my brain on what I could have done wrong and nothing comes to mind. “You kissed another girl,” my beast accuses. I can hear the disgust in the way he moves in me. “It wasn't a kiss.” I counter. “What was it then? You fuvking asshole.”Damn it. I want to shut him off for a couple of hours. He's been bombarding me, acting like he likes Hannah more than I do. What kind of wolf challenges his owner?Liam walks out of the inner room. Does Hannah shares the room with him? The question pops in my head but I quickly push it away. He corks open a bottle of Pinot Noir. “Isn’t it a shame we don't share a drink often? We are brothers, aren't we?” He takes the cushion opposite from me and begins to pour the drink. I really don't know what he's driving at wit

~Nathan Durk~“Prepare. We are going for the Pack meeting,” Cathylene says coldly as she breezes past me on my way to the garage. I stop and turn around. Harinth’s eyes meet mine and he gives me a look which I understand. Because that's not the first time he's interpreting Cathylene’s mood to me. For the first time, I wonder if he doesn’t get tired of being by her side. He's her personal assistant but I’ve known him to always be beside her for as long as I can remember. Even when they are not working, he's always following her around. Doesn't he have other things to do or know other people? Even though I don't want to be there, I follow them at the council meeting. I keep a straight face and don't bother looking towards Jaxon but once our eyes momentarily meet, he makes a funny face making me smile. I couldn't help it. “Punk.” I groan. Cathylene saw it and her nose reddens. “The Alpha elections will be held soon. A date will be selected amongst the head elders and communicated to

~Hannah~Olivia sneaks up beside me in bed. “Mummy, are you alright?” I press my face in the sheets hoping it'd be enough to hide the turmoil happening inside me. Braving a smile before I face her. “Yes honey. Do you need mummy to do something?”She sighs in her signature dramatic manner. “When will we finish off my surprise for my holidays. Uncle Nathan promised we'd go again.” Uncle Nathan. My heart wrenches at his name. “Honey, listen, Uncle is busy and can't take us now. But don't worry, mummy will take you. Where do you wanna go?”Her facials wrinkles. “It's cooler with Uncle Nathan.”A wave of despair crashes down in me. I'm sorry, my daughter. I'm so sorry…I hold my mouth and my hands vibrate with my sobs. “Daddy!” Olivia scents Liam and dash out of her room. “Hello sweetie!” I hastily wipe my face and rush outside. I freeze at the door. Olivia is in Liam's arms. Nathan is close behind. His eyes is on them…no, his eyes are on Olivia precisely. The eyes only a father wil

~Hannah~It's either that darn witch has cursed me or her words are coming to pass. Because why am I feeling so freaking hot on a spring Monday morning? I leave the room and head to the swimming pool hoping to cool off. Behold a sight I wasn't expecting, but one that sets my body in tingles, greets my eyes. Nathan is in the pool, shirtless. He surfaces, his head above the water. He shakes his head, wet shiny hair drips water down his face. In a very rare picturesque moment, rays of sun appear and settle on his face, and for a moment, my breath hitches. He is fvcking ripped. Like he was born to be freaking hot!“Hannah? What are you staring at so seriously?”I jerk. Brenda is giving me the suspicious squint. Where did she appear from?But thankfully Nathan had dipped back into the pool by the time she looked. What the fuvk! Why's he so hot today?“You promised to never think about him again,” Nina reminds me. “Don't judge me. He's too hot to ignore today and I'm going through a cris
