Beyond the Pack’s Law: My stepsister or nobody else

Hayley’s POV

“I can’t believe this is happening,” I thought, stunned as I conversed with my wolf.

“Me neither. I’m speechless,” it replied.

“Aiden, stop!” I said, pushing him away.

“Don’t!” he replied, taking my hands off him, refusing to end the kiss.

Frustrated, I pushed him off me.

Aiden stepped back, a smile spreading across his face despite the confusion in his eyes. “I’m sorry about this, but I just couldn’t control myself anymore.”

“We are step-siblings, Aiden.”

“Right, I made a mistake,” he replied. I walked out of the room and back to the truth or dare game.

The students looked at me, surprised to see me return, their eyes scanning me up and down as if checking for signs of a struggle. Seeing I was fine, they went back to their game.

“Aren’t you playing the game anymore?” Mona asked, walking up to me in the corner.

“No, you guys should enjoy. I’ll be fine on my own,” I replied, placing both palms on the sides of my cheeks as I fell into deep thought.

Aiden showed up a few minutes later, looking as composed as before, but his eyes were now on me, warding off anyone who might have approached.

My mood was ruined for the party. I wished it would end so I could find my way back home. After a few hours, the party finally ended. Happily, I stood up to leave, but when I got outside, a power bike stopped in front of me.

I looked up, surprised to see Aiden. “You should go on your own. I will be fine.”

“Hailey, there’s nothing wrong with me taking you home. It’s my duty as your big brother.”

“And? Look, Aiden, I came here alone. I should be able to find my way back.”

“Just hop on. I promise not to say a thing to you to bother you,” he promised, holding his hand up.

Seeing how serious he looked, I made up my mind and got on the bike. He drove off in the sight of our schoolmates.

The next day at school, I had just gotten into my class when I saw Mina and Mona looking through a book. Looking closely, I could see it wasn’t the same as the one they saw me with. I put down my bag and saw that it was also an erotic book.

Clearing my throat loudly, I made them notice me. Mina and Mona jumped up in shock and excitement, and when they saw me, they laughed so hard.

“Girl, what’s up?” Mina asked.

“Great, but I thought you both were innocent. Haha, let me see what you are reading,” I said and picked the book up to look at. At one glance, I could tell it was as bad as the one they had caught me with.

“Whatever,” I said, dropping it back on the table as I sat down between them.

“That reminds me, you didn’t say what happened between you and Aiden last night,” Mona said, and I laughed out loud even though it wasn’t genuine.

“Nothing, actually. I guess he was mad that I was about to kiss…”

“Oh! Well, you didn’t. Everyone was so scared when they saw Aiden, and I wasn’t an exception.”

We had classes that morning, and during lunch, we made our way to the school eatery. We sat down in a secluded corner, and soon we watched Aiden walk in with his friends, each with a hand in their pocket, striding in as the hot boys of the school.

They sat at the center of the eatery, drawing the attention of the whole school. No other senior or junior student dared to sit at that table, unable to handle such attention.

“Look over there. Your stepbrother is coming in with his guys,” Mina said.

“Seen,” I replied, keeping my face down.

When Aiden sat down with his friends, he scanned the eatery and found me. Making sure no other guy was around me, he then focused on his table.

Then, Gina walked in, looking furious, and stormed up to Aiden’s table right in front of everyone.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be attending the party last night? Why is everyone saying you were present, Aiden?” she questioned, sitting down looking very upset.

“I went there to look out for my sister.”

“You would have also looked out for me too,” she said, pouting her lips in frustration.

“Gina, have lunch and get back to class,” he replied.

“Isn’t she supposed to be your step-sister? Why are you being so overly protective of her? It’s not like anyone would eat her up,” Gina said loudly, causing everyone on lunch break to freeze in shock.

The audacity! What was she implying though? Dangerous thoughts started flying across everyone’s mind. When they thought Gina had humbled Aiden, Aiden smiled and looked at her directly.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Lifting her cheek as if to kiss her, he said loudly, “She’s not as cheap as you are.”

Everyone froze. They had not expected that comeback. Gina’s expression soured, and it felt like she would spit out blood any minute. Seeing that he had left her to focus on his meal, she looked towards me and felt very threatened. If she walked out, she would definitely let me and everyone else who was jealous of her win, so she had to do something real quick.

“Prince Aiden, I am so sorry. I never actually meant anything bad, you know. I like your sister, and that’s because of how much I care about you. Okay, I am no longer angry. I just regretted missing such a beautiful moment with you. We would have had lots of fun.”
