All Chapters of Mated To My Alpha Step Brother: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Nova's POV.The stranger was draped in a white cloak, his face dark like he'd worn a mask. His body was slender and his voice was muffled. He looked dangerous and soft at the same time–like an angel and a devil.It was practically impossible to recognize who she was talking to no matter how hard I stared.But at least I could hear them clearly now.“What are your plans for the pack, Luna Corvina?” the muffled voice of the stranger came.Though his voice was muffled, I could still tell that it was rough.“Is that really why you came here? I thought I told you I'd come see you on my own. There's not much that can be done at the moment,” Corvina gritted out, her head turning side to side like she was checking if they were really alone.“Well, it was starting to feel like you'd forgotten that I'm a major part of the plan. So I came to remind you. By now, you should be the one the pack recognizes as the better leader but it seems to me that you're not serious about this,” the stranger said

Nova's POV.I held my breath as I leaned closer, wanting to hear the rest of their conversation."Yes, he should leave soon. If he stays any longer and he gets even closer to Nova, that would be--"Corvina's voice faded into the background the moment I set my eyes on my stepfather. He looked like he'd devour me if I didn't move from the door. I quickly moved away as he got closer."What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go out to the borders," he questioned, alerting Corvina and my mother.They both stepped out, surprise etched on their faces as their gaze alternated between me and my stepfather.My mother chuckled nervously, "Since when did you get here? I thought you were leaving already."I forced a smile, "I'd come to see if I could still do what you wanted me to do. But I didn't expect the queen to be in your chambers. You too are becoming really good friends."Corvina crossed her arms, "Is that a problem to you? If it is, you can say so. Am I not permitted to be on goo

Nova's POV.I quickly ran to call the guards to help her. With their help, Corvina was taken to the healer's place and in no time the small room was filled with the royal family.It had already been four long hours and Corvina was yet to wake up. I tried not to think negatively but the thought of Corvina dying constantly came to mind, making it difficult to breathe.My stepfather paced back and forth, his gaze lingering on Corvina's pale frame. My mother sat on the right side of the bed. And Jake sat on the left with Corvina's head in his thighs. Everyone was worried and from the attitude they gave off, I didn't think it would be right to explain how she fell.The healer soon stopped his treatment, rising to his feet with his eyes examining Corvina's frame. And as he did that, she slowly regained consciousness."Oh thank the goddess! She's awake!" My mother exclaimed with so much relief that you'd think Corvina was her daughter.Jake rubbed Corvina's palm softly while my stepfather mo

Nova's POV.I was later transferred to my room, as the healer claimed that I'd be okay in a few days. According to him, the poison was too strong to fully get out of my system but it was gradually leaving.Killian had come to see me before I was taken to my room, informing me about his presence needed at his pack. He had delayed his leave for me but seeing that I wasn't in a good state to leave, he promised to come back for me.But that wasn't the main thing on my mind. My mind revolved around questions about who poisoned me. I recalled being served food by a maid, perhaps she'd know who did it?Could it be my mom or Corvina?I actually suspected both of them. Recalling their conversation that I eavesdropped on, neither of them were okay with my relationship with Killian. Though, I was yet to find out why but I knew one of them would be behind this."knock knock knock"The sound on the door disrupted my thoughts. I turned my head to the direction of the door, not knowing whether or no

Nova's POV.Ever since I heard the news about my stepfather's marriage in the morning, my mind has been swirling with different thoughts.First, I didn't expect him to agree.Secondly, why was remarriage necessary? That sounded too convenient.Thirdly, I didn't know if my mother was aware of it, and if she was, what was her reaction to this?Sure, I didn't really like my mother due to the years of punishments she'd dished out on me. But having her go through something like this while watching a smile? I'd never be able to.I'd seen how she'd slowly started falling for my stepfather. The same woman whom I thought got married for power actually got married because she loved Darius.Oh goddess, how was she going to bear this kind of pain? That too, when she'd literally planned her whole life with him?I had to go tell her about it.And with that, I headed for her room--half nervous, half complacent that she'd at least get a heads up.That was what I had in mind.Until I got to my mother'
