Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 143

KESTER

The one thing the Moon Goddess had ever done right was chaining Kasmine to me with something she couldn't undo. Something she didn't choose and didn't have a choice in.

Fate.

I should worship the Moon Goddess for it. For once, she wasn't playing games. She gave me the one thing I ever wanted, the one thing that was mine.

And Kasmine... sweet, confused, little Kasmine... she still thought she had a say in all this.

I know exactly what's spinning in that pretty head of hers. She thinks the next step is rejection. She thinks that the bond we share is something she can sever with a few muttered words and teary eyes.

That has to be the funniest fucking thing I've ever imagined. Because let the world split open, and the Draegor himself crawl out of the pit of hell to rule this earth-l would never reject my fated mate.

Fuck

'My. Fated. Mate."

The sound of it made a dance erupt in my stomach.

I couldn't believe this was happening, in all honesty.

I didn't plan on telling anyone yet. We both had to decide when and how we would break the good news to everyone. I can't fucking wait. I was too eager.

When she ran off with that fucker, I didn't even try to follow after that rickety piece of rusty bucket he called a car because I would have caught up with them on foot.

Hell, I could've torn through that tin can with my bare hands and dragged her out by her hair if I wanted.

But I didn't.

Because the mate bond is a beautiful thing. It's more loyal than her mind and stronger than her fear. A wolf cannot stay away from their mate for long. It pulls, and It hurts. And she'll feel that ache. Soon, she'll be begging to breathe in my scent again
