Semua Bab Fated Alpha Stepbrothers: Desire, and Regret: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Liora’s pov“You should go with the boys today,” Cecile said while brushing my hair. I almost rolled my eyes in response. That's the last people I wanted to be in the same space with. “Urhmm, definitely not,” I whispered, arranging my books in my bag. Cecile stopped and stared at me. “Do you have issues with the triplets? Are they the cause of your bruises? Why don't you at least speak up?” Cecile said, sighing in frustration. “Issues? Oh, come on, Cecile. That's the funniest thing I have heard from you. We are totally fine, as a matter of fact, we are very playful in school,”I flapped my hands, signalling for her to move closer to me. “We don't really speak in the pack house because they want everyone to see them like an adult. They are the next Alpha of the pack, they want that respect,” I lied. How did I get so good at lying?I hated that I was doing this but she kept pestering about the damn thing. She chuckled slightly and shook her head. “That is such a non-factor. I

Liora’s pov“Girl, you look so devastated,” Ava commented, chewing her fries. I picked up my phone and stared at myself in the camera app. “I don't look half of how devastated I am,” I retorted, clicking my tongue angrily. Ava snorted, trying to hide her laughter. “Just laugh if y….” She started laughing before I could finish my sentence. I threw my hands in the air with a frustrated sigh. “Really? Ava? You are to console me and tell me it is going to be fine, not laugh loudly at my predicament,” I told her, glaring at her slightly. “I can't help but laugh—”“You have this look on,” Ava said, and made the funniest look. I threw my fries at her. “What do I do?”“I don't even want to speak to him let alone plan our project together!” I whisper-yelled. “He didn't seem like he wanted to even be in the same class with me earlier. You saw how he spoke to the teacher? I just know this is going to be a one-of-a-kind hell ride,” I complained bitterly, suddenly losing my appetite. “

Liora’s pov“Get your hands off me!” I yelled at him, pushing him away even though it didn't make any difference. “Don’t tell me anything, I need to speak to her,” Ronan told his brothers. Kael shook his head like he was disappointed in me before walking away while Elias still waited behind. “Alone, Elias,” Ronan emphasized. His brother kissed his teeth angrily. “If you do anything silly, count me out of it,” he said before walking away. “Can you stop rough-handling me?” I asked, already pissed. Ronan left my arms and folded his arms. I also folded my arms and turned to look the other way. I had to do what needed to be done, trust me, I don't regret one bit!Neither of us was going to make a move first and time was ticking. I needed to maintain in the top three of the class, or I would lose my scholarship. “Why will you pull such a stunt?”“You are such an attention-seeking b—”I raised my hands, stopping him before he completed the vile statement. “I dare you to call me su

Ronan’s povTwo hours in, I realized a lot of new details about Liora, one of which was the best; how terrifyingly intelligent she was. “Can you see this? The effect of the Luna Cycle caused it but a lot of people don’t know about this,”Liora scoffed. “Not even some of our teachers. You have to have gone deep into research to understand this concept,” She further explained. “I genuinely think if we laid emphasis here, we would leave everyone blown,”I leaned forward to read her scribbles. Her notes were so organized and precise. Liora tensed when I moved closer, her hands gripping her pen tightly. Another detail was that she still didn’t trust me. She was wary of every one of my moments, as if she was ready for the worst. “Did you even listen to me at all?” She asked, raising her brows when I didn’t say anything. I smirked in response and sat upright. “I am sure you think I am some dumb dude,” I replied. Liora quickly shook her head. “I didn’t say that!” She let out a high

Liora’s povThe car glided through the roads.I stared at the golden-yellow sky, which indicated that the sun was setting. I sat in a comfortable silence and occasionally stole glances at Alpha Allaric.His expression had softened into something quiet, lingering sorrow after our conversation.I had the urge to ask more questions. I wanted to know what my mother had been hiding and why she had been doing that. We were like two peas in a pod, literally inseparable. There was nothing we didn't tell each other until I found out about Alpha Allaric. I wanted to ask what had happened between them but I held back. No matter how nice he was to me, I always reminded myself not to overstep.He had already given me more than I expected and pushing further felt like I was overstepping his boundaries. Besides, it was obvious he was hurt about it, this was definitely the wrong place to bring that up."The meeting is with a few neighboring Alphas," he started saying. I jolted out of my though
