Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 185

Chapter 185

"What are you saying, Mum?" I managed, forcing myself to steady my breathing. If I panicked, she'd hear my heart racing.

She took a step closer. "A man's scent is all over you, Kasmine," she pressed, her voice dipping into suspicion. “Did anyone touch you?"

A bitter laugh almost bubbled up my throat.

For the first time in my life, my mother actually cared about me being touched by a

man.

How surprising.

I turned to her, feigning annoyance and letting my anger mask my fear.

"I was in a house, a plane, and a car with Kester, my brother. Is it surprising that you can smell him all over me?" I asked in irritation, meeting her gaze and daring her to question

me further.

"Let her be, Jorja." My father stepfather said in an exhausted tone.

I got used to calling him "father" and calling Kester "brother" because they never

treated me as a step-family. And that's why I loved them so much.

"What's that mark on your lips

baby? Are you hurt?" Mum asked, bringing her hand close

to my lips, but I quickly pulled away.

I totally forgot about it. As a girl without my wolf, I couldn't heal as fast as other wolves did. Not yet.

"I bit my lips when I... Uh... When I was eating," I swallowed, "I need to rest now." Taking the stairs two at a time, I hurried out of her sight before she took note of anything

else.

The hot shower did a lot to soothe the ache all over my body. I soaked myself in the tub for more than an hour, eyes closed, savoring the scent of soap mixed with steam while I reminisced on everything that had happened so far during the trip.
