Alle Kapitel von Bound To My Mate's Step Brother : Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

~MIKAEL~Nyra slept soundly on my chest. I patted her head slightly. The attack was supposed to happen tomorrow, but I'd changed my mind.The moon would be at its peak today, and since I had completed the ritual to regain my full powers, subduing a part of me I didn't think I would have was quite a thrill.Accepting that side of me was important, and now—the people would know what I am. So many questions raced through their heads, but none had the answers they sought, so they decided to pretend like that part of me didn't exist.I placed a kiss on Nyra's cheek before carrying her gently. Staring at my mate, I had mixed feelings.I still wasn't sure if I was ready to accept the bond or just have her nearby in case there were urges needing to be controlled.Tonight was an exception. She'd remained calm in my embrace. She trusted me not to hurt her today, but I would have to do that.My thirst for revenge surpassed whatever feelings were left. Sure, the bond can make us act in ways we do

~MIKAEL~I carried Nyra in my arms as I walked past these burning houses. Piles of bodies scattered across, screaming echoing in the background, but one thing is clear.I have emerged victorious.My people are free!O'Lean joined me, his body bathed in blood just like I was. He offered to help carry Nyra, but I refused."Make sure everything is stable before dawn! The other creatures would have heard about the attack; let them know that the celestial hybrid is back!" I ordered and he nodded his head briefly.This attack was just the beginning and if we don't stabilize it now, the witches might want to attack. Sasha wouldn't want to back down, not after what her stepsister had done.I looked down at my mate. She looks peaceful, but tomorrow I know she might not be the same again.I kicked the door to Berlin's room and nostalgia hit me. My teeth gritted hard as I stepped into the room; memories that I'd thought I had buried resurfaced.There was this drive to tear down this room."Soon,

~NYRA~I wept thoroughly. My body felt still yet I couldn't accept the fact that Eric died because of me.Never had I expected this to happen. Not even when I thought something could occur between Mikael and me."Nyra!" I heard Natalie call.I didn't respond.My wailing became louder; I began to hit my chest continuously."Stop it, Nyra! Do not let Mikael see you this way," she cautioned. I whipped my head towards her side in disbelief.I was mourning my husband, yet she was asking me to stop because of a creature that doesn't care about me.My hands trembled by my sides, anger flaring up inside of me. "Who cares whether he sees me this way? He already got what he wanted and I do not care if he kills me," I retorted sharply.To be honest, I have constantly tried everything in my power to fight death. I have escaped countless times and Hades wouldn't stop attacking me.What then am I supposed to do?Fight for what?Eric is dead!Mikael has no use for me anymore. So what's my purpose in

~NYRA~Mikael threatened me.If I don't do as he said, then the remaining survivors are going to feel his wrath.'Mourn him again and I'll do double of what I said in the room.' Mikael uttered through the link, jolting me up.My eye color glowed as I broke the mirror nearby. I was held captive and other people's survival depended on me.I closed my eyes, gulping down my saliva.'What sort of life is this?' I questioned myself.A knock on the door dragged me out of my thoughts. I was about to yell "get out" when Natalie's soothing voice broke through."The maids are here, Nyra, and they want to do their job. Allow them," she said quietly.I could have refused their offer, but who knows what Natalie would tell Mikael.I murmured, "Come in."The door opened and maids rushed in. Natalie stood by the door, watching me. I sniffled, walking over to the side that was free of broken glass.She glanced at the floor where the shattered glass spread across before sighing. Her hands fell to her hi

~MIKAEL~I entered my chambers, satisfied with what I'd done in the council meeting room.I strode towards the bed, only to see Nyra on it. I furrowed my brows for a while, then it hit me.I haven't told the maid to prepare a room for her. She'd been staying here for the past week.I pursed my lips, watching her keenly. It wasn't until I noticed the other figure that I realized Nyra wasn't alone in the room.Underneath the sheet was the little girl, Olive.A smile appeared on my face as the duo slept soundly. I gulped down nothing; my body itched and I needed to have my bath.Once I am done, I will leave the room. I took a mental note before darting towards the bathroom.I turned on the tap, preparing my bath. I slid into the bathtub, closed my eyes and let the water sink in.All my muscles became relaxed. The ache in my back became dulled, then softened as if the heat were untying knots one by one.I leaned my head against the porcelain, letting the water do its slow, patient work. T
