Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 291

I wanted to kiss Kasmine until he forgot her name. I wanted to piner against every surface of my room and make her feel how much I adored her fire. I wanted to praise her with teeth and bruises with my mouth on every inch of her.

I sat back on my chair, panting quietly like a fucking madman with hard-on for her.

That was my Luna. The only Luna I needed by my side.

Not that pushover - June.

With the way Kasmine handled her, I didn't need to run back home anymore. She handled her perfectly well. All I had to do was call my guards because I didn't understand why she was fully dressed and ready to leave the house.

I didn't know where she was going, but she wasn't stepping outside my walls.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Jair, the head of my guards, immediately.

"Kasmine must not step a toe outside my walls."

"Yes, Alpha."

"If she so much as opens the front door, I want a goddamn siren blaring. You hear me?"

"Yes, Alpha."

I ended the call and stared down at the ink-stained half of the pen still in my hand.

I stalked to the edge of the office now and unlocked the hidden panel behind my bookshelf. The reinforced safe hissed open at my fingerprint, revealing a smaller monitor tucked inside. I tapped in my override codes, and the interface blinked to life.

The Black Ledger.

It had three vaults.

Each one encrypted with Norlan's most unforgiving codework. It wasn't just password protected-it was smartly protected. The kind of system that learned intruders and struck back. Anyone trying to access it without the proper map would trigger layered defenses -some digital, some... less digital.
