All Chapters of Mated To My Alpha Step Brother: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Nova's POVI pretend to be asleep until I hear the door click shut behind Ken and Killian. My heart is beating so loud I am scared they will hear it from the hallway. The second they are gone, my eyes snap open.They lied to me again.I could see it in Ken's eyes, hear it in the way Killian's voice got all soft and careful. They know who is after me. They just will not say it. And every time I ask, they push me away with sweet words and promises that mean absolutely nothing.I am tired of it.Why do they think they can decide what I am strong enough to handle? Why do they get to keep secrets about my own life whilst someone out there wants me dead?My body still hurts. Every move I make pulls at the stitches and sends sharp pains shooting through my side, but I do not care. I cannot just lie here waiting for them to decide when I am allowed to know the truth.I am not some fragile thing that needs protecting from reality. I am the one being hunted. I deserve to know who wants me dead.

Nova's POVThe grip on my ankle is strong and unyielding. Terror shoots through me like lightning and I scream whilst kicking wildly at whoever has grabbed me."Let go! Let go of me!"My voice comes out raw and desperate. I twist my body whilst trying to wrench my leg free. This is it. This is how I die alone in the garden whilst bleeding out."Luna! Luna, stop! It is me!"The voice cuts through my panic. It was a familiar male voice and not threatening in any way.I freeze whilst my chest heaving. The hand releases my ankle immediately and I scramble backwards until my back hits a tree trunk.A figure kneels in front of me whilst hands raised to show he means no harm. As my eyes adjust to the darkness, I recognize the pack uniform. A guard."Luna Nova, are you alright?"My brain struggles to catch up. A guard. Just a guard. Not the hooded figure with the blade."I..." My voice shakes so badly I can barely get the words out. "I thought you were..."He moves closer slowly whilst his fa

Nova's POVThe healer arrive minutes later after our sex escapades. His face was grave as he examines my torn stitches and the fresh wounds covering my body. Ken and Killian stand nearby whilst watching his every move with tense expressions."The Luna needs rest," the healer announces after cleaning and re-stitching my side. "No more climbing out of windows. No more running through forests. Complete bed rest for at least three days."He gives me a stern look before packing up his supplies and leaving. The moment the door closes behind him, Ken and Killian turn to brief the guards about the hooded figure I saw.I hear their voices in the corridor whilst low and urgent as they give orders to increase patrols and search the forest. They will be occupied for a while at least.I sink back against the pillows whilst exhaustion weighing down every part of my body. My side throbs despite the fresh bandages and my hands sting from the scrapes.But I am alive. That is something.I close my

Nova's POVThe morning after the garden incident, Ken and Killian call me into Ken's study. Their faces are serious whilst they gesture for me to sit down."We need to discuss your security," Ken starts whilst his tone leaving no room for argument.I sink into the chair whilst already knowing where this conversation is heading. "I am fine. The guard found me. Nothing happened.""Nothing happened because you were lucky." Killian leans against the desk whilst his arms crossed. "If that guard had not been patrolling that area, the stalker could have killed you."The bluntness of his words makes me flinch.Ken continues whilst his voice gentler but no less firm. "We are assigning personal guards to you. Two at all times. They will escort you anywhere you need to go within the pack house.""What?" I sit up straighter whilst ignoring the pull of my stitches. "You cannot be serious.""We are completely serious." Killian's yellow eyes hold mine. "You will not be leaving your room alone anymor

Nova's POV "Why is that, Lysandra?" One of the elders asks whilst his tone curious."Well," she tilts her head whilst her expression sympathetic, "Nova is still recovering from her injuries. She should be in her room resting, not sitting through long council meetings. I am just concerned about her wellbeing."The false concern in her voice makes my stomach turn."As Luna, Nova should be present for all council meetings," the same elder responds whilst looking at her with slight confusion. "It is her right and her duty.""I understand that." Lysandra's smile does not waver. "But look at her. She is clearly in pain. Is it not cruel to force her to sit here when she could be healing?"Several council members glance at me whilst assessing."I am fine," I speak up whilst keeping my voice steady. "I appreciate the concern, but I am capable of attending meetings.""Are you though?" Lysandra leans forward slightly. "You were just attacked two nights ago. You nearly died. And now you are here
