Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers – Chapter 10

Naya cod

Taking a deep breath, I descended the stairs. I had to prepare myself to face the intense scrutiny of the gathered crowd. My heart pounded, and a sense of unease washed over me. What if Renee was right? Darren was one of the bullies that tormented me, and I had just summoned up the courage to call him a wimp. If Zeke hadn’t stopped him, I would have been toast. Deep down, I am grateful for Zeke’s protection. But, like I said, it usually came at a silly cost. Going down to meet everyone was nerve-wracking, but I never expected it to turn into a nightmare.

As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I was met with accusing stares. The weight of everyone’s judgment was upon me. I glanced around for Mr. Diego, but it’s like he just vanished into thin air.

allowed it. Somehow, I see she had him wrapped around her pinkie finger.

“Why did you enter the classroom when you knew the monster was going to come for you?” A woman pushed through, nearly blinding me with a big microphone in her hands.

I was losing my patience fast. “I said I don’t know anything.” How is everything turning upside down so fast?

I understand them. They are all afraid of the silly monsters that have invaded the land.

Feeling overwhelmed and trapped, My eyes darted around the room, searching for the twins. They had better be here to explain things and show the crowd their injuries. To my dismay, I saw the both of them standing at the back, their expressions torn between telling the crowd the truth and saving me, their stepsister. I raised an eyebrow to ask about their parents.

Kyle shrugged coldly while Zeke wasn’t even looking at me.

Just great! If they want me to handle this on their own, I will! As the accusations continued to fly around, my resolve hardened.

I stamped my feet on the solid ground to stop Renée from moving any longer. My head was lifted high to meet the angry gaze of the crowd. “I may be the target of that monster, but I refuse to be the scapegoat. Blaming me isn’t going to solve the problem.” I took a deep breath, allowing my words to hang in the air. Slowly, there was silence, and their fingers began to lower, replaced by looks of disgust.

“We saw the monster get to you first, Brawn. It was as if you communicated with it. How can we believe you then?” Darren asked with fire in his eyes. They were filled with hatred. I guess word must have spread that I was with the Storms now.

It must have intensified their anger toward me. I would do anything to exchange the position of the person who envied me. I wouldn’t mind. “I would do anything to be in your good shoes, Darren. Don’t forget, you said we should hide in the classroom until our parents came. You pathetic excuse of a wolf.” My hands flew to my mouth in shock. Where did that come from?

Darren looked ready to fight me. “I dare you to say that again!”

I could see the previous event playing out again, and I didn’t
