All Chapters of Sleeping with my Mate’s brother: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

NyxariaWhat the fuck was going on?The drive back was a suffocating blur. By the time the tires crunched over the gravel and we finally pulled through the main gates of the compound, my mind was spinning.“Fuck, man,” Zade sighed, killing the engine and rushing out of the car to where a very unscathed Valen was standing.I watched them embrace through the front windshield, Valen looking completely unbothered for a man who was supposed to be scattered across a forest in a million burning pieces.How did he even text me from a new number?I pricked my ears, letting my wolf’s advanced senses pull their conversation out of the night air while the surrounding guards drifted back to their posts.“What the hell happened?” Zade’s relieved voice met my ears.”Valen chuckled, clapping a hand against Zade's back. “Aunt Natalia pulled me off the flight right before takeoff, but my bag and phone were already stowed onboard.”Oh. That explained the new number. But who the hell was Aunt Natalia?“I

Zade Would it still be considered insecure if it bothered me that Nyxaria cared so much about my brother's safety? “Chips?” Nyxaria asked, and I nodded my head while she dumped the bag into the shopping cart. When Valen went missing, she stared down an Alpha like my father without blinking an eye. Was that for my sake? Or was it more than that. Nyxaria pushed the cart towards another section in the store, and my heart twisted as I saw the faint lines of red. Did my father... cuff her as well? “Zade, what are you doing—” Nyxaria gasped as I grabbed her hand, causing the can of soda she was holding to fall. “You were cuffed with silver?” I growled, my wolf threatening to surge out of my skin at the bruises on our mate. “Zade, it's nothing—” “It's not nothing, Nyxaria,” I yelled, and I felt more than a few eyes of the other shoppers snap to us, but I didn't even care. “I'm supposed to be keeping you safe.” “You deserve better, Nyxaria,” I muttered, my eyes still not leaving t

Nyxaria Under Promise, Overdeliver. If I had to sum up this city's nightlife in two words, that would be it. The neon signs looked cheap from the street, but behind closed doors, the drinks were strong and the distractions were loud enough to drown out my own thoughts. “Woah!” Nikolai hooted as I threw back another shot. Zade's hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer against his lap. “Are you sure that isn’t enough?” he whispered into my ear, his voice barely cutting over the loud music. “It’s a welcome back party for Nikolai and me. Let a girl drink,”Katerina scoffed, raising her glass in my direction and I clinked my glass against hers with a loose smile. Besides, I was finally starting to feel enough of a buzz to pretend I didn't feel Valen's heavy, burning eyes on me from the VIP bar across the room. I hadn’t thought avoiding him would be this difficult, mostly because I hadn’t expected him to give a damn in the first place. But like most men, it was probabl

KaiNyx was going to get me killed if she wasted another second.Not by Zade. Not by the guards. But by my own damn mind if I had to sit in this car for one more minute.I tapped my thumb against the steering wheel, my phone screen glowing face-up in the cup holder.08:14 PM. Cell block B is clear for twenty minutes. Don't be late.My chest tightened just reading it. Twenty minutes. That was all the time I had to get down to the dungeons, and actually spend a few stolen minutes with him.If Nyxaria took any longer, I’d lose the only chance I had to see him tonight.“I’ll be just two seconds,” she’d said.“Two fucking seconds,” I said to the empty windshield, shifting the car into gear just to keep my hands busy.Buzz.The console vibrated, lighting up the dark interior and I practically lunged for the screen.Nyx: Go on without me, I got caught up with something.I didn't bother arguing or asking what she was doing. If she wanted to stay behind, fine by me.That just meant I didn't ha

NyxariaOf course I wasn’t fucking going.I was a grown woman, not a stray pup he could whistle for whenever his ego needed a stroke.“What are we doing here?” Kai asked from beside me while I stared straight ahead at the road.I had to admit…it was a pretty good estate.“We’re just exploring the Silverline territory,” I shrugged, tightening and loosening my grip on the steering wheel.A storm was coming later tonight. I just wanted to make sure he was going to be okay.It was nothing. Nothing at all.“I’m tired, Nyx. I need some sleep,” Kai groaned, leaning his head back against the seat.I scoffed, turning to take him in. Fading hickeys were littered all over his skin, trailing down his neck to the bit of exposed chest his shirt left unbuttoned.“Rough night?” I asked, eyeing him up and down.“You have no idea,” he sighed, closing his eyes.He still hadn’t told me who his mystery lover was. But judging by the state of him, they were a fucking beast in the sheets.I opened my mouth t
