Claiming My Gullible Stepsister As My Mate

chapter 3

As I leaned my back against the headboard and sobbed loudly, I wrapped my arms around my legs and hugged them. I had lost my heart completely. I kept being turned down. What am I doing wrong?

My teenage years were pretty dull for me. As a child, I dealt with a lot of bullies. I wasn't the type who cried easily about it. I get into fights a lot. I don't know now, though. I felt a lot of different things.

I finally decided to go back home just before it got dark. I had big eyes because I had been crying since early in the morning.

I didn't even eat lunch.An unknown hand suddenly grabbed my wrist as I opened the car door. When I looked up, I was shocked to see Lucian standing in front of me with his face wet with sweat.

He looked scared and sorry in his eyes, which made me feel sick for some reason. He made his jaw tighten. I have been searching everywhere for you since morning. "You did not come home."

My heart felt like it was beating fast. I moved away from him and pulled my hand back. I wanted to cry again because I felt like he had let me down. "What are you doing here?" That's all I asked.

"Isn't it clear?" He said in an irritated voice, "I was looking for you." I laughed. "Did mum tell you to find me?" Don't worry, I'll call her and let her know where I was.

"Please excuse me, and I'll go ahead." I opened the car door by pulling it. Right before I went in, he grabbed my arm hard and pulled me to him.My cheek hit his chest. I was so mad as I looked up at him.

"The hell?!" I screamedat him.

"Don't talk back to me in that mean way, little one," he said in a dangerous way. I could tell that his wolf was getting excited because his eyes got darker.

I was scared for a moment of what he might do to me. There's no question that his wolf gets mad when people treat him badly or don't follow his orders.

Then again, why would he be mad? What did I do wrong? In reality... He was the one who hurt me.

When I finally stopped thinking about these annoying things, I pushed his chest. I made a growl sound. I knew my pupils got bigger with gold light when my wolf took over.

"Don't touch me like that, you filthy wolf," I said. As I watched him whimper, I knew that what I said hurt him deeply. His blue eyes were filled with pain.

But I was so mad at him that I couldn't even feel bad about what I said. "You slept with another she-wolf last night, didn't you?" I asked with anger. He no longer looked sad; instead, he looked guilty. He looked so ashamed of himself now.

I laughed sarcastically and threw my head back as tears came out of my eyes when he didn't say anything. "Wow. "Unbelievable," I gritted my teeth. We are soul mates and will be together forever, but he felt free to break our promise when we met for the first time.

"I'm sorry," my wolf just couldn't take it. "I didn't mean to—" With a wave of my hand, I stopped him. I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

"You know what, it's too much," I said with a cracked voice. I don't deserve someone like you, and you don't deserve someone like me." I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes.

The next words hurt my heart like acid that burned us both. "I, Kayla Elmwood, is rejecting you as my mate... Lucian Marcel." After saying that, I turned around and left him, broken beyond repair. It hurt. It was even unbearable.

My stomach hurts so badly that I never thought it would. It was hard for me to breathe because my chest felt tight.

The bond that used to be there was gone, and it was killing me slowly. There was so much pain that it had turned numb. My face was wet with tears.

We were done with everything. I broke up with him, and I don't think I'll ever find a second chance mate again because mating is a very sacred act that shouldn't be taken lightly. But then i still rejected it. It would be an understatement to say I felt bad about what I did.I hate myself for what i did now.

Not because I want Lucian or am afraid I won't be able to find another partner. No, no, it was the exact opposite. I felt bad about what I did because the rejection hurt so badly and is slowly killing me.

I'm not ready to die yet. Not yet, since I haven't met my younger brother or sister.

"Oh my God. What's wrong with you?! You've been so sad all day. Your weight has dropped even more!"my mum stood at the entrance with her hands on her hips, my mum nags. Her face shows that she is both worried and angry.

"You don't eat much, you don't leave this room very often, and you talk to no one!God please help this child!" I cried again. I sat on the bed with my face buried in my hands. Putting my knees on my chest and back against the bed.

"Mom..." My voice was rough because I hadn't had enough water, I said. Because I had been crying so much, I was a little thirsty. Her eyes became softer.

She shut the door behind her as she came into my room. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big hug.

She kissed my head and asked, "What's wrong, baby?" I felt like I was vulnerablein my presence. As I sniffed her and hugged her waist, I couldn't help but notice the small bump on her stomach. "Mom... why am I so unlucky?" I inquired.

As I cried more, my whole body started to shake.She touched my back. "Shush, baby, you're definitely not unlucky You're actually the luckiest girl who ever lived.

You're so beautiful that no one else can compare. The way you act is nice. You're funny, sweet, and most of all, a loving child to me. "You're the whole package," she said to make me feel better.

It made me angry, so I shook my head no. Still, I felt somewhat thankful because she was attempting to lift my sad mood. "If I am, then why do they keep leaving?"

Mom took a weak breath. In my speech, I was talking about my dad, the guys I've dated, and finally Lucian.

They don't like what I have or what I can give them. They are selfish jerks who seems to be tied to me even just for a day. I'm having so much bad luck. This is a terrible life.

"Believe me, baby, you're not. You just happen to come across bad people at a bad bat time.

Take my word for it: everything happens for a reason. And when you finally meet and get to that perfect time, everything will go right, including the right person."

"Okay, brighten up. You can always count on me, even though I'm not with you all the time. I've got your back, all right? I love you, and you're the reason I keep fighting, no matter how hard things come up.

"You're my lucky charm, my sweet daughter, and I'm so glad I have you still today."When I raised my head, I looked at her face. t

Tears are in her eyes, and she has a sad face. She put her hands on my face and wiped my tears away. "Please don't leave me, Kayla. I don't want to lose you. Are you ready to stop crying for me and move on?"

In the end, my mother mMelinage to cheer me up. Being able to stop her was impossible, especially when she put on that sad face.

Today, my mum was extra careful with me. She fed me, bathed me, and dressed me up. I feel like I'm six years old instead of sixteen years old right now. "You'll be joining the dinner tonight, alright?" she told me.

"Your brother, Lucian, will be joining us, too." When that son of a b*tch was mentioned, my whole body tensed up. He's going to join? I felt a lump in my throat all of a sudden. I didn't know if I was ready to see him.

I wasn't looking forward to meeting him after what happened the last time we met.But thinking about what my mum said. I need to move on. It might help me get better quickly.

I forced myself to nod after taking a deep breath. I know it's going to be a hard night for me. Sure enough, I wasn't wrong.

Lucian was sitted right in front of me . The air was thick and uncomfortable. I heard that he hasn't been home since that day, which I was glad about. It's been three days since that incident happened.

But now that he's here, my stupid heart couldn't help but hurt badly. In my head, my wolf whimpered because it missed being touched by our mate. I didn't talk to her, though. I was too busy with my plate.

"Kayla, you take pleasure in messing with your food again. I didn't raise you that way. My mum told me to stop what I was doing and eat my food.

The look on her face when I looked at her was one of shame. I pursed my lips and looked at her and the alpha with a sorry face. Alpha Gael smiled and nodded. I sighed and ate anyway.

I noticed that asshole look at me closely out of the corner of my eye. I didn't look at him, though. "Where have you been, Lucian?" Alpha Gael was the first one to talk. He looked at me and said, "I stayed at Andrew's house to catch upwoth stuffs."

Lie. It's likely that he f****d every she-wolf in this pack. That's a bunch of lies. I made my jaw tighten. "He should have come over here instead.

That way, you can go with your sister at the same time. You know, showing her around and putting her in touch with some of our members.

Right, Melina?"

"Yes, that would be a great way for you to get to know each other better." You will be brother and sister after Gael and I get married, after all. Also, Kayla is a very lonely kid, and I think she won't be able to make any friends around here. We would really appreciate it if you could agree to it. We won't force you, Lucian."

My teeth were clenched and my eyes were furrowed. I know my mum wants the best for me.

She wants a new place for me to live so I can be happy, but making decisions about what I want without talking to me first is annoying me. That's especially since it includes a jerk named Lucian.

After some time, he said, "It's fine with me, Ms. Elmwood." I turned my head to look at him. He then turned away from me and looked at my mum instead. "It would be my pleasure to show my sister around."He stressed the word "sister" .

When I heard it, it made me feel a little sick in the gut. The look in my mom's eyes almost got brighter. She smiled very widely.

"Thanks a lot, Lucian. Also, feel free to call me Auntie Melina if that's okay with you.Ms. Elmwood is way too serious."

"Sure, Auntie Melina." I looked Lucian in the eye not believing he would say those things after what happened between us . He can't be serious right now.

Is he still going to let me be around him and act like a good stepbrother even though I turned him down?

There were a lot of questions in my head that I couldn't say because I was so shocked. I couldn't say a word and was completely confused.

But all of those silent questions and feelings of confusion left my head all of a sudden when I saw Lucian smirking. They were replaced by anger. What's his plan now?
