Summer’s pov
Walking through the familiar hallway, ignoring the intensive looks of other students, I could feel their mocking gaze, shining like hawks who had been waiting for this moment.
“Did she really think she was that relevant? Its a good thing she knows her place now.” a girl whispered to her friend, both of them giggling as they spoke to each other, clenching my fists. I remained quiet.
“Ignore them, Summy, they can't say it to your face okay? Don't let them get to you.” she squeezed my arm in hers, leading me through the hallway like a mom. I caught sight of Ashton fondling Freya for everyone to see, her eyes burned towards me, her lips curled up in a mocking smirk. “Hey Summer, did you have a nightmare?
I didn't think you would be able to come to school.” Freya scoffed, causing the others to laugh, my eyes focussed on Ashton for a brief moment, still in disbelief that he could do such a thing to me.
He had no remorse and even went on to kiss Freya while lingering his gaze on me , tring to make me feel jealous.
My stomach churned in absolute disgust and I wanted more than anything to run away and hide from this mess. If I knew those moments of happiness would end up this way, I would have never gotten involved with him.
Suddenly a tall figure stopped in front of Aubrey and I, from the scent I could tell who it was, adrenaline rushed through my whole body, quickly moving to the side with Aubrey my head remained low to the ground. He wasn't moving.
“Hey babe.” Trey’s voice echoed in my ear, I froze in my spot refusing to believe he was actually talking to me.
The whole halfway was full of surprised expressions from students, low whispers and gasps, some pulled out their phone to record this moment. “She's definitely getting bullied by him.”
“She's so unlucky, if i were her, i would have transferred to another school.”
“Are you ignoring me baby?” He gently lifted up my chin, staring down at me, his cold eyes now filled with warmth, I had never seen them this way before, he gently caressed my lips, looming over me with an intimidating yet inviting smile.
“Did he just call her that?”
From the corner of my eyes I could see Aubrey in shock, i had considered telling him that I wasn't interested in his offer once i get to school but this? This was the least I expected.
“Did you miss me?” he asked.
“Yeah, considering what we had last night.” he wiggled hi brows while i stared at him dumbfounded. From the corner of my eyes I could see Ashton glare at us but didn't dare do a thing. Right! This was revenge to make that bastard know what he actually missed and feel what I also felt.
“Yeah about last night.” I forced on a smile, trying to act cool but I could feel my hands shaking, sensing tht, he grabbed my hand in his, gently and pulled me closer.
“You forgot my kiss.” before i could show my confusion, he leaned in and kissed me, gentle and warm were his lips, the tension i once felt disappeared in that moment, i let him lead, let myself lean closer into his grasp, it lasted for a few seconds before he pulled away, my eyes still widened in shock but i quickly masked it with a grin.
“We weren't supposed to make it public.” I pointed out to him, punching his chest lightly but that nearly ruined my fingers, he gently grabbed my palm, placing a kiss and leaned in to whisper.
“See you later goggles.” he winked before walking off, the crowd parting a path for him to walk through.
I stood there unable to recover from the shock, Audrey tapped me, standing right in front of me, waiting for an explanation while the entire hallway was ken to know my business.
“I seriously can't believe you're such a whore.” Freya scoffed, walking up to me but I ignored her, more worried about what I was to say to Aubrey.

Walking through the front door of my house, the scent of freshly cooked food hit my nose, one that had never happened in the last ten years. Slowly opening the door, I could tell my mother was home, her work bag sat on the chair casually, peeking out of the kitchen, there was a bright smile on her face. Just yesterday she looked at me like I was her biggest mistake in life.
She walked out with a bowl of food, placing it on the dining table, the food was so much that it would take us a few days to consume it. “What's the occasion?”
“Go freshen up and come help me, your stepfather is coming over with his sons to visit.” she smiled brightly while i froze in shock, unsure what i had just heard.
Stepfather? Stepbrothers? When?
“What are you talking about mom?” I asked, my face scrunched up in confusion.
“I got married a week ago while I was in paris.” she revealed, my lips parted open in shock, my eyes widened in shock, how many things did she not tell me?
“You got married without-”
“What were you expecting? You killed your father, I don't want such bad luck for my new husband so try to stay away okay?’ She rolled her eyes and continued to set the table, feeling distraught, i walked to my room. I understood her grief all these years but I was also going through it. The least I expected was her telling me even if she didn't want me to attend it.
I had a series of unanswered texts from Aubrey concerning the situationship between Trey and I, i had been avoiding her coming home alone today because I still couldn't bring myself to explain it at all. Quickly cleaning my hair and dressing up, I packed my hair in a messy bun, put on my nerdy glasses, I changed my mind, put it away, and I heard the doorbell ring.
They were here.
Looking out the window I saw a Rolls Royce pull up, thank goodness she didn't settle for less . “Summer, come down here.” My mom called my name.
Sluggishly moving my shy ass, I waited out of my room to the living room, my gaze fixated to the floor, finally looking up and pushing my bangs to the side, i stood there in shock, my lips ajar and my eyes widened.
“Hey cookie.” Trey waved at me, his lips widened into a smile, a man who seemed to be in his fifties sat down comfortably, wearing a neatly made suit, I could tell he was a man of high standards, his gaze on me felt intimidating. Seated beside Trey was a nonchalant guy, lost in his own world and didn’t bother to spare me a glance. Once he looked up, I felt my heart race.
I could feel I had met him but can’t recall.
He slowly lifted his gaze to me and I felt my body freeze. I could feel the mating bond between us.
How could it be? Two brothers?I felt my wolf growl in happiness, screaming in my head. “Mate!”
My step brothers are my mates? I kissed one already!
