Semua Bab MATED TO MY TWIN STEPBROTHERS: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Aurora’s POVWe had defense class after lunch, so I headed to the locker room to change.Bianca came out as I went in. She smiled at me. She held the door open and told me to have fun, and the sweetness in her voice landed wrong, like a slap dressed up as a kiss. I walked past her anyway.Three steps in, I stopped dead.Someone had shredded my gym clothes. My shirt lay in strips across the bench. My shorts hung off the hook in ribbons. I picked up a piece and the fabric came apart between my fingers.Bianca. That fucking lizard. Something cracked open in my chest and my wolf came roaring up my spine. The white flooded my eyes and I let it stay. I crushed the ruined cloth in my fist, turned on my heel, and slammed the door open hard enough to crack it against the wall.Logan stood in the doorway.My wolf stopped mid-snarl. The anger drained straight out of me and left me swaying, and I hated her for it. I hated how fast she folded the second he showed up.“Move,” I said. “I have some

Aurora’s POVWho knew pack gatherings could be this enjoyable?I didn’t expect to have as much fun as I did yesterday. At one point, I didn’t want it to end. I managed to make more friends than I ever had combined in my life.I laughed more than I had since we left Vancouver, and I fell asleep that night with the unfamiliar sensation of my cheeks sore from smiling.For the first time, I had real contacts saved in my phone.Jenny Cole, whom I saved as “Jenny Fire,” had already sent me three voice notes by the time I woke up the next morning. Each was longer than the last, about definitely meeting up again, and other weird stuff I did not really get. Lucielle had quietly slipped her number to me when the night ended, passing a small piece of paper as if it were a secret.The only other contact I had was Lucas. insisting I add three hearts after his name.Mr. Grumpy Sexy hadn’t offered me his number.Not that I wanted it. Seriously, I’d rather spend a year munching on stones soaked in

Logan’s POVMy wolf was so pleased about that laugh that I had to shut him down immediately.He’d been doing this all afternoon. Finding things to be satisfied about. The way she’d stopped fighting when I carried her. The way she’d taken the painkillers without arguing a second time. The way she’d looked at her own hand like it was something new and worth knowing.Now the laugh, and he was practically rolling over.I needed him to stop.Because every time he found something to be pleased about, I found something to ruin it, and I could feel one coming now. The need to create distance. To remind both of us where we stood. I had spent two weeks keeping her at arm’s length, and one afternoon in this room had undone most of it, and my wolf didn’t care; he wanted to stay here, he wanted her to stay here, and that was exactly the problem.“You should be smarter from today onwards,” I said. “Next time, come to me immediately. This puts us in a much more difficult spot.”She looked at me. “W

Lucielle’s POVSo Aurora turned out to be a healer.I sat in the back corner of the lecture hall with my headphones on, the music up loud, and stared out the window. Class wasn’t for another twenty minutes. I always came early. The back corner was mine. From there I could see everyone, and nobody really saw me, which was exactly how I liked it.I let out a slow breath.I was worried for her, really worried. Because I knew what it meant to be a healer, and I knew it better than almost anyone in this school.Her life had just stopped being her own. She didn’t know that yet. But she would.I was a healer too.Not like her. I could close a small cut. Take the sting out of a bruise. Heal things that weren’t too deep. That was all. Nothing like what she’d done to my nose, which had been broken, and then simply wasn’t anymore.A full healer.The kind people fought wars over. The kind people would die for.My heart started going too fast. I pressed my hand to my chest and dug the little bott

Aurora’s POVMy mother was at the door before the car had even stopped.She must have been watching from the window. She came down the steps fast, and when she saw the state Lucas was in, the blood across his face and soaked into his shirt … her hand flew to her mouth.“Oh, my god.” She looked between us, eyes wide. “What happened? Are you hurt? Either of you?”“Don’t worry.” Lucas held up a hand, easy as anything, that grin already back in place. “None of it’s mine.”“Lucas…”“We were attacked on the way back,” he said. “Some goons. Followed us to the falls.” He wiped his wrist across his jaw, smearing the blood instead of clearing it. “I took care of it.”Vincent had come out behind my mother. He was very still, the way he got when something serious was happening, and his voice when it came was flat and hard.“Where.”“You’ll find them by the waterfall.” Lucas met his father’s eyes. “All five of them. Alive. Mostly.”Vincent’s jaw tightened. He pulled his phone out and turned away,
