Emiru Brother Novels & Stories

Emily felt her wolf stir beneath her skin. "We’re not alone," she said. A person they believed to be Alexander's older brother Lucien, long deceased, emerged from the shadows. He had been banished for treachery years before and was once a highly regarded warrior. It was terrible to see him now, shrouded in power and black energy. Emily held her ground despite a small buckling of her knees. "Brother," Lucien spoke with a smooth, threatening tone. "Did you genuinely believe I would be absent eternally?"

The scent of cologne mixed with whiskey and cigarette smoke clung to him. He already knew the culprit. “Lucien, you insufferable hermit!” a familiar voice called, laughter trailing after it. “It’s me. Your older—wait, no, younger, good-looking, and infinitely charming brother, Emilio. In case you forgot who keeps you slightly sane.” Lucien didn’t lift his gaze. “I’m busy.”

he gave Ricardo a handshake. His Mother led me to the dining room and gestured for me to sit on the chair next to the one Ricardo sat on. His grandmother was now sitting too and I was between both Ricardo and her. “Welcome” it was a calm voice this time. I looked to the direction it came from and saw a young man with dark blonde curly hair. “This is my brother Luca. Luca, this is Odessa” He looked awfully familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen him before.

Right in front of me stood the man from the night, the one who took his time to ruin me in and out even if I could barely recall his name. I thought my heart had already gone through its strain this week, but nothing could have prepared me for what I heard next. “Please meet Ezekiel– my brother,”

“Hi, I’m Leo. The awesome, funny, loving mate you’ve been waiting for.” “You forgot annoying.” Princess Ember quipped with a grin, while they huddled behind the stage, relief clear in her expression while they bantered. “Hey, you’re supposed to be my wing sis here!” He protested but it was clear he wasn’t angry, if anything he seemed just as relieved. “You’re her brother…?” Nova asked with confusion. “She’s my honorary, personally adopted baby sis and there’s nothing she can do about it. No take-backsies!” He said, aiming a stern look at Princess Ember who rolled her eyes with a smile of her own.

On his deathbed, he handed over the Maxwell Corporation and me, twelve years old at the time, into Leon’s care. Everyone said my brother was the perfect heir. However, I knew better. Behind that polite, gentlemanly mask was a ruthless lone wolf. I stood outside Leon’s study, my hand hovering over the door handle, hesitating to push it. Finally, I sucked in a breath and twisted the knob. The familiar scent of cedarwood hit me immediately. The air felt chill and restrained, just like him. “Huh? He’s not here?” Seriously? He told me to come back, and then he wasn’t even home.

My mouth seems to have forgotten how to speak Caelum's name or Kyrie's for that matter. The air is thick, tension evident as the two most masculine men I've ever met stare at each other, and then back at me. Caelum's gaze could burn a hole through me while Kyrie appears plainly jealous. I give myself a mental slap, why the fuck is Caelum staring at me like that? He's married, he can't stare guilt into my soul and besides I have nothing to be guilty of. “Kyrie,” I move from the door, leaving it open. “This is Caelum, Emelia's brother.” I tell him, not sure how else to introduce him except as my best friend's brother.

“Then maybe next time you should wait with the lights on.” His eyes didn’t soften. “I was curious how you’d come home. And with who.” I blinked. “Excuse me?” “You left with my brother.” I frowned. “You left me there.” His jaw tightened. “You could’ve called.” “I did.” My voice rose before I could stop it. “Twice. You didn’t answer. Adrian offered to drive me back. What was I supposed to do, wait till you remember you have a wife?” He gave a dry, humorless laugh. “My stepbrother—the same one you almost kissed?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude. I’m Luca, Damien’s brother.” My mother blinked. “Damien’s brother?” Luca nodded politely. “Yes. I heard about Mr. Valenci, and I just came to check on him. I didn’t want to disturb your rest, so Selena and I spoke out here.” Her brows lifted slightly in surprise. I could see the questions swirling behind her eyes. “Damien never mentioned a brother.” “I’ve been away for quite some time,” Luca said smoothly, not missing a beat. “Business overseas. I recently came back.”

A father figure. “Fine, Dad,” I lied smoothly, though my eyes flickered toward Jace’s chair. “Looking for your brother?” he asked with a smile. “He’s already at the office.” “The office?” He nodded proudly. “Jace runs my company. You’ll learn more about that soon enough. He’s… remarkable.” Brother. Remarkable. If only he knew the things I imagined about that man at night. My mother’s gaze burned against my skin, sharp and warning.
