Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

KASMINE.

"Miss? Miss? Are you okay? A soft, feminine voice filtered into my haze. My eyelids fought me as I forced them open, squinting against the harsh strip lights above. My face was sticky with dried tears, and my throat felt like sandpaper.

“Uh... Yeah..." I croaked, barely recognizing my own voice, my confusion colliding with panic. Where... Where was I?

Oh, shit! I was still in the convenience. I sat on the floor and cried until I dozed off.

"Are you sure you are okay, ma'am?" The lady spoke again, and took in her appearance. She was a janitor.

She stood a few feet away, mop in hand, her brow pulled together with concern. Her blue uniform looked like it had seen too many shifts and not enough sleep, but her voice was kind and soft.

I didn't respond. I pushed myself off the floor, wobbling on unsteady legs, ignoring the way she instinctively reached out like she thought I might faint again. I glanced at my phone.

Fifty-two minutes. I had been out cold for almost an hour.

Fuck.noveldrama

My legs jolted into action. I didn't even acknowledge the janitor as I stumbled past her. My heels clacked awkwardly on the floor as I all but ran out of the

convenience store, heart hammering like it was trying to punch its way out of my chest.

Get out. Just get out. Go home. Go anywhere but here.'

I pushed through the glass doors of the venue and was immediately met with the roar of applause from inside the main hall.

My heart froze when I saw Kester and June.

He was kissing her.

His hand was on her lower back.

Her head was tilted up, her lips molded to his, and the crowd clapped louder, some people even standing to cheer.

Then she pulled back, giggling like the perfect fiancée, and held up her left hand.

A thick, shiny diamond sparkled on her finger, catching the light and throwing it straight into my fucking face.

My stomach arched. I felt the bile rise up, acidic and hot. I swallowed hard, and it burned going down.

I wanted to march up that stage, rip the mic from the host's hand, and scream, "He switched my birth control, you sick fucks! He got me pregnant without my consent, and now he's parading his new bride around like he didn't just destroy me!"

I wanted to grab June by her pretty little shoulders and shake her. Ask her if she knew what kind of monster she was smiling at.

Instead, I just stoot gere. Shaking so hard I felt like my bones were trying to escape my skin.

The applause finally started to die down. The host said something cheesy about love being in the air, and people laughed, wine glasses clinking as the music came back on. Kester and June descended from the stage, hand in hand, ready to greet the guests.

I quickly wiped the tears that had started falling again with rough swipes before turning and heading out of the hall into the cold night air.

I had barely walked for more than five minutes when I saw Kester just ahead of me, leaning against a pillar.

I wouldn't lie, I was startled. But of course, he had the kind of speed I didn't have just yet, at least until I got my wolf.

I ignored his very presence and tried to walk past him, but he held me back..

"Mine, what's wrong?" He asked, and my blood boiled.

That word. Mine... I hated it now with every fiber in me,

I turned to him slowly, my fists clenched at my sides, every inch of me shaking from the inside out. He had that familiar crease between his brows-concern, confusion, that same stupid calm he were every time he tried to manipulate me into thinking I was overreacting.

He is hard to like. what he did is unforgivable. He did not care if she wanted it or even if she was ready. She had other plans before having children.
