3-S*ank Me, Daddy!
“Remember, I have been telling you boys I have found a cho sen mate? That’s her; Scarlet Mintz and this is her daughter Beatrice, who is now your stepsister,” Lord Vasquez had to sit us all down to explain things to his sons. I couldn’t escape the eyes of Zane.
I was almost hiding behind my mother as the two boys kept glaring at me.
“Dad? What is going on?” Our attention suddenly turned to the person entering the living room next. He was tall and had ex tremely broad shoulders and a slim waist. One could tell he had a muscular body under those office pants and a white shirt. His Hazel colored eyes matched his hair. Right behind him was an other young man, tall and dashing.
The light brown colored eyes of the guy behind the first guy were so enchanting that I couldn’t decide which one of them to focus on.
“Come, have a seat,” Lord Vasquez offered them a seat, and the two guys in suits sat down.
“These are Akin S*ade and Helel S*ade. They are twins.
Akin is a few minutes older than Helel,” Lord Vasquez told us. The brown-eyed guy who entered last was Akin and the one be fore him was Helel. They looked pretty similar, too.
Akin was probably 6 feet 6 and Helel was 6 feet 5.
“These two are Maddox and Zane. They are also twins, but Maddox is a few minutes older than Zane.” He then pointed at another set of twins. Maddox was the guy I saw naked in the bed room, the guy with blue eyes.
And Zane was the handsome hunk who bullied me and was now raging like a bull.
“Who are they, father?” Helel asked, his eyes doing a quick scan of me. I lowered my eyes when his eyes landed on mine.
When he asked his father that question, Zane let out a sarcastic laugh.
“That’s the b*tch father settled on,” Zane couldn’t keep it to gether any longer. His comment was met with a gasp from my mother’s lips.
“Zane!” Lord Vasquez yelled, warning him through his eyes.
“It’s true. This is the woman who is taking our mother’s place, and that girl over there is our stepsister that our father wants us to protect and take care of. Isn’t it funny that the first thing she did was to accuse Zane of harassing her? She got dad into hit ting Zane,” Maddox, who I didn’t think would react so aggressive ly, started talking with tears of anger in his eyes. It’s true that the silent ones are always the dangerous ones.
“I have told you all. I have moved on from your mother. Now she is my everything and you all have to respect that. Anyway, ľ m not going to force you, so whichever one of you wants to go live with your mom, you are welcome to pack your bags and leave.” Lord Vasquez casually let them decide, and all four of them decided to get up on their feet until they heard their father say, “And forget about the Alpha King title.”
They all sat down at the same speed they got up with. These four had everybody’s eyes on them as they were the future Alpha Kings of the North, South, East, and West.
“Good. We must prepare for a family dinner tonight. Beatrice, your brothers are very creative and strong. You will love them all around.” He knew what he was doing. He wanted us to communi cate, but it was a messy time to expect them to accept me. The four brothers looked my way and raised their brows in unison.
The brothers soon got up and went upstairs. I knew they were having a meeting. My mother and I stayed in the kitchen while the dinner was in process.
After a few hours of silence and me standing in the corner like a scared kitten, after taking a quick shower in the guestroom, the dinner was served.
“Akin, my eldest one, takes care of my business. He is only 20 but he knows what he is doing.” Lord Vasquez praised the brown-eyed handsome guy. He was the only one who hadn’t said a word to us.
“Helel, he is also 20, but his interest differs from his brother. He does take care of business once in a while, but he is a trainer. He trains our warriors. He is also a gym instructor.” He then looked at Helel, who was barely eating his salad. Helel had a very blunt look on his face. I don’t even know if he cared that we were here.
“Zane is the youngest of the twins. He is 18 and loves travel ing,” Lord Vasquez introduced the one who bullied me in school.
“Maddox goes to the same school as you two. He is 18 but a few minutes older than Zane and carries a love for bikes.” Lord Vasquez seemed to have held back when talking about the blue eyed son. Maddox let out a scoff before interrupting his father.
“Just say it. I have an addiction that irks my father.” Maddox’s eyes shone a weird color for a second before he lowered his head to avoid getting caught. But I saw it.
“Anyway,” Lord Vasquez ignored his comment, but I and my mother shared a look.
“The reason I want you all to be too comfortable around each other is that, as a leader of the council, I have been summoned to take a look over the matters among the packs of West. Scarlet and I will be departing in the morning. I want you all to take care of your stepsister, Beatrice, while we are gone.” Lord Vasquez seemed way too comfortable when breaking the news to us.
I instantly shared a glance with my mother, who looked as shocked as I was. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“But she is a bit fragile. She has never been anywhere with out me. It’s just that her wolf is a mess, so I have to be there for her and make sure her wolf doesn’t come out.” My mom was yammering and making no sense. I noticed the look my step brother shared when acknowledging my mother wasn’t comfort able leaving me behind with them.
“It’s alright, Mom! We promise to take care of her,” it was Zane who spoke up, “Now that we know she is our stepsister, we will keep her safe.” That look he gave me made my skin crawl.
“And Helel can train her.” Lord Vasquez didn’t help when he suggested his son would be my instructor for the next few days.
I started coughing after I heard all the messes. I sleep in my mom’s room. How the hell am I going to sleep without her now?
“Perfect! Look how caring my sons are. Now let’s go rest. We have to wake up early morning.” Lord Vasquez seemed full of himself. I should have known he would be the controlling one in this relationship. He got up from his seat and eyed my mother ex citedly to follow him. She gave me a miserable look before head ing out of the dining room with him.
Now I was sitting among my stepbrothers awkwardly.
“You need medicine to control your wolf. Then how did you feel mate bond with Flynn when your wolf isn’t even allowed to come forward?” After a long silence, Zane’s voice penetrated the air, and my body froze.
“You didn’t tell your mother about the whole mate bond fias co, didn’t you?” That smirk on his lips when gaining an advantage over me by knowing my mother had no idea and would be angry at me for not taking my medicine was terrifying.
I looked around and noticed all my future stepbros staring in my direction.
“School is going to be fun now,” Zanę said before telling me what I could expect from him at school, “Make sure you don’t get s*anked by your daddy,” he said, pointing to himself, and my heart sank.
