Semua Bab MATED TO MY BULLY STEPBROTHERS : Bab 21 - Bab 30

JADE I spun around quickly and watched as a young man entered the room with a steaming cup of tea which he offered to me. The scent of herbs rose from the tea and I refused it immediately, shaking my head and pressing back against the pillows. He did not push. Instead, he left it at the bedside table close to me.“My name is Finn,” he said calmly, pulling a chair closer and sitting down. “I am a veilborn. One of the few veilborn werewolves in the entire Hawthorne Pack and the neighboring packs as well.”I stared at him like I was hallucinating. None of what he was saying made sense. Veilborn? The word sounded strange, like something from old stories my father used to tell me when I was little. I blinked several times, trying to clear my head, but the confusion only grew. His face remained honest, with kind eyes that watched me patiently, as my mind refused to accept his words.He continued speaking in the same steady voice. “I was close by when I sensed your energy. It felt overwhe

CARLI sat near the edge of the large yoga hall with my brothers, as the teacher moved between the students with her instructions, demonstrating each couple’s pose with smooth movements. My eyes kept drifting toward Jade even though I tried to focus on the lesson. She stood a few mats away, her shoulders slightly hunched and her body tense as she waited for the pairing announcement. Something about the way she avoided looking in our direction made my chest ache but I knew she was still hurting from everything that had happened, and part of me wished I could make it easier for her.When the teacher finally announced the partners for the day’s practice, I saw Kaden start moving toward her with that confident stride of his. My gaze met Liam’s across the room, and then Randy’s. We all understood the same thing at once. We could not let that happen. We could not let Kaden spend even one minute alone with Jade after discovering his true identity as a hybrid. The thought of him getting close

RANDYEver since she discovered we were mated and had rejected us in front of the whole class, she had been acting all weird - fainting, avoiding us, pushing back one moment and looking lost the next. I disliked that I was mated to someone so weak in the first place. It was normal for her to suffer more visibly from the pain of the rejection, as she was after all just a weak omega with no real powers. I was sure of that. But her faintings had been feeling very occasional these days, coming at the worst times and making everything more complicated. And right now, she looked like she would pass out too. Her breathing seemed uneven, and she kept pressing a hand lightly to her temple as if fighting a headache.I wanted to ignore her at first but I decided against it. It would be so much better to mock her for rejecting us and remind her how dumb an idea that was when she was clearly not strong enough to handle the pain that came with it. “Look at you,” I muttered. “You rejected us so dr

LIAMThe next thirty minutes at the cottage proved to me that the guy, Finn was not a bad person. He treated us respectfully from the moment we stepped inside the small cottage, offering us seats near the wooden table and speaking in a calm, measured voice that carried no challenge.The herbal scent from the concoctions he was brewing filled the room, mixing with the faint smell of wood and fresh air that drifted through the open window. Jade still lay asleep on the narrow bed against the wall, her breathing steady but her face still pale.In the middle of our conversation, he had revealed how he met Jade. He explained that he had been close by on the hillside when he sensed her energy surging out of control. The overwhelming flood of emotions and sensations from the crowded mall had pushed her to the edge, and he had stepped in to help before she collapsed completely. He described carrying her here to the quiet cottage where his soft energy was easier to manage. "Why was she able t

CARLJade burst into tears the moment I finished speaking. The loud, choking sobs tore out of her throat and filled the quiet rooftop patio. Her shoulders shook violently as she covered her face with both hands. Tears streamed down her cheeks and soaked into the collar of her clothes and her whole body trembled with the force of the pain I had just dropped on her. I stood there frozen, watching her break down right in front of me. Seeing Jade cry so much made something inside my chest crack open. Sadness settled over me, mixed with regret that made my stomach twist. She must have really hated us so much. The thought hit me harder than ever and all the cruel things we had done to her flashed through my mind in painful detail. I pulled a clean handkerchief from my pocket and held it out to her gently. “Here,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Take this. Please.”She shoved my hand away without even looking at me. The handkerchief fluttered to the floor between us but I was not
