17-Stepsisters Don’t Stare At Their Brother’s Bums

Nora:

‘Are you going to let our brothers in on the secret about me?’

I had been waiting for her to ask me that question. It was true that I had a wolf, and I hadn’t been

completely honest about it at school.

But my wolf was different. She wasn’t your average wolf.

‘And tell them how crazy you are? Despite my urge to roll my eyes at her, I decided to take a more

respectful approach.

‘Hm! Fine, I will stay hidden, Akira was not just crazy but also very observant.

That was something I liked about her. In fact, there were a lot more things that I liked about her,

especially our bond. We knew and understood each other, and that’s why I was able to keep. her

hidden for so long.

‘She really didn’t waste a minute before taking the credit for our actions, I knew my wolf was a bit

disappointed. She wanted to display her confidence and fighting skills, but I had to keep her hidden

most of the time. However, whenever I wanted to speak to her, I would twirl the ring on my finger

and pull it out just a little, keeping it only till it touches the skin.

‘Should we stay here or leave? Everyone will think we are jealous of the attention Natalya is getting

if we don’t join them, I asked my wolf, who was mostly the one making decisions for us.

“Why didn’t you pick up our calls? he raised his voice, angrily glaring at me

“Ohl So it was her who almost geus killed” one of the girls

tubed, making a hash comment and putting the entire blame on me.

“Thank goodness we had Natalya, or else, we don’t know what would have happened,” another girl

placed a hand on her chest when talking about the relief they were feeling. The others instantly

agreed with her.

“I didn’t know who was calling me. I don’t answer unknown caller IDs,” angry at how they made me

leave their house, I stated loudly in my defense.

“B**t,” Ryker grunted, making me fold my arms over my chest and look away. They kept looking at

Natalya and trying to make sure she was fine.

She was fine!

I made sure of it. Yes! I absolutely made sure of it.

“Natalya!” Cain’s deep voice filled the room in silence and everyone turned to look at him, “What

you did today will help u examine the monster’s body. It was indeed a heroic action. But make sure

to take care of yourself now.”

His words made the girls tilt their heads in awe.

“I will, but if I feel that surge of energy in my body again, who should I call?” Natalya asked in her

usual innocent voice. My body flinched as I saw Ryker pointing at Cain from behind.

Cain followed everyone’s eyes and saw his brother quickly putting away his finger. None of them

wanted to stay in contact with her. That’s what my stepbrothers were all about. They were just good

on the outside.

“Here, take my number,” now that the pressure was on Cain

directly, he offered her his number and she didn’t shy away from

putting it in her phone immediately.

“We will leave now and next time if anything like that is about to happen, we will give a call to

Natalya or Mrs. Finlay,” Cain stood up and fixed his white shirt, running his hand through his hair.

“Why don’t you stay a little? We are making soup to fight the cold. It won’t hurt to enjoy some? Mrs.

Finlay had a huge cheeky smile on her lips when offering them to stay.

“Sure!” Ryker nodded and the girls behind him stepped back. I noticed what they were doing. They

were staring and pointing at his bum. I felt the urge to smack them, but then as I raised my eyes

from them, I saw Ryker staring at me with a weird look of observation on his face..

Stomping my foot secretly, I turned around and left for my room. I don’t know why 1 came

downstairs anyway. Only to take the blame for everything. As I was walking upstairs, I heard

footsteps following me but didn’t think too much about it. There were other girls who were sharing

rooms on the top floor. It wasn’t until I had entered my room that I realized it was Ryker who had

come with me.

My heart flipped when the door opened a second after I had closed it and Ryker stormed in.

“Knock!” I uttered, folding my arms over my chest.

“Look at that attitude. You were all nice back in the mansion,” the smirk on his face as he began to

look around made me frown at him.

“Yeah, I thought my stepbrothers would be nice enough to respect my attempts of wanting to be a

part of their family– but

clearly I was wrong,” I felt odd that while I was talking, he was busy examining the room as if he had

come for something.

“Stepsisters don’t just stare at their brother’s bums,” his statement while he observed the posters on

the wall by Natalya made me gasp.
