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

Hayley’s POV

“Jack held me and pinned me to the wall. I moaned in his ears as his full length found its way into my sacred walls. I cried as he began to slam his body against mine with emotions and pleasure taking every part of my body. I held…”

I was seated on my bed, deeply engrossed in this book, when Aiden entered my room. I didn’t even notice him until he was right next to me, peering over my shoulder. His smile grew as he saw how focused I was.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Woah! I never knew you weren’t so innocent,” he whispered in my ear, making me jump off the bed in surprise and fall to the ground.

“What was that for? You scared the living spirit out of me!” I glared at him, quickly hiding the book behind my back.

“Don’t change the subject, Hayley. Why are you reading such an erotic book? Aren’t you too young for that?” He squinted his eyes at me.

“I’m nineteen years old, young man. Mind your business and get your ass out of my room,” I muttered.

“And if I don’t?” Aiden challenged.

“I’ll go downstairs and tell the Alpha that you’re a pain in my ass,” I said, standing up and sitting back on the bed.

Aiden’s eyes followed me as I sat down. I was wearing a pink bum short and a white crop top. The sun’s rays slipping through the curtain shone on my skin, making it radiate.

“Eyes up here, young man,” I snapped, getting his attention.

“I wasn’t staring, I was just lost in thought,” he defended himself.

For the first time since I became his step-sister, he looked at me differently. I could swear he found me beautiful.

“Can I take a look at your book? I think I also want to read what my kid sister is reading,” he said, moving closer to take the book from me, but I raised my hand high, keeping it out of his reach.

“I won’t give it to you. If you want to read, go get yours,” I rolled my eyes.

“Can you just give it to me? Do you want it the hard way? Because as you can see, I am way taller than you, and it would take less than a minute to get the book from you,” Aiden smiled.

“Come take it if you can,” I challenged, standing on the bed with my right hand holding the book up.

“Give it to me while I’m being nice,” he warned, but I was not ready to give it up.

“I said I won’t,” I insisted.

Aiden also stood on the bed and, with just one try, grabbed the book from me. In the process, we both fell onto each other, with Aiden on top of me.

We stared at each other, and at that moment, the world around us seemed to stand still. The intense eye contact lasted for over a minute before I pushed him off. My cheeks were already red like cherries, so I quickly hid my face and cleared my throat.

“Now that you have the book, can you leave?” I asked, my voice no longer friendly.

While we were on top of each other, my mind flashed back to when Gina flirted with Aiden and how they kissed.

Noticing my change in demeanor, Aiden was confused and asked, “Why did you turn cold all of a sudden? Is it because of this book?” He raised the book up.

“You have it, so can you leave? I need to study for our upcoming test,” I replied, going to take my textbook from the drawer.

“Did I do something wrong? Because as far as I can remember, you were smiling just a few minutes ago, but now you’ve turned cold,” he said, trying to understand.

“Nothing, I just want to be alone. Please leave,” I insisted.

Seeing that I wasn’t ready to talk, Aiden sighed and walked to the door before turning around. “Dad said I should call you down for dinner,” he said and left my room.

Once he was gone, I fell back on the bed and began to fan my face, which was hot. “What just happened?” I asked myself.

“Why is it so hard to avoid him?” I whined to Rira, my wolf.

“We have to, so we won’t do something we’ll regret,” Rira said.

“I’ll remain cold towards him to avoid anything that would take my sanity away,” I concluded, leaving my room for dinner.

…

“What took you so long, baby?” Mom asked as I joined the family at the dining table.

“I was busy with something,” I replied, sitting beside Aiden. We exchanged glances, but I was the first to look away.

“How do you like your new college, Hayley?” Alpha Royal, Aiden’s dad, asked.

“Thanks, Dad, I’m loving it,” I replied, starting to eat.

“Is Aiden taking care of you?” Mom asked with a smile.

“Yeah, kind of,” I smiled awkwardly and focused on my food.

The room fell silent until Alpha Royal broke it. “Aiden,” he called, making Aiden raise his head. “Any news about your mate?”

Hearing the word ‘mate’ made my stomach churn. For some reason, I prayed Aiden wouldn’t find his mate anytime soon.

“No, I haven’t found her yet. I’m still searching,” Aiden replied slowly, continuing his meal.

I lost my appetite and stood up. “Baby, what’s wrong?” Mom asked as everyone looked at me.

“Nothing, Mom,” I flashed a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “I need to study for the upcoming test and I have no appetite,” I said, leaving the dining room.

The room fell silent again until Aiden also stood up. “I’ll be in my room,” he said and walked away.

“What is wrong with both of them?” Alpha Royal asked.

“Nothing, you don’t have to worry,” Mom assured him, and they continued their meal.

Back in my room, I sighed and fell on the bed, my mind flashing back to what Alpha Royal asked Aiden. “I guess he’s not in a serious relationship with Gina, given that he’s still looking for his mate,” I mumbled, closing my eyes.

“We shouldn’t worry about that and continue to find our second chance mate,” Rira said.

“Good night, Rira,” I said.

“Good night, Hayley,” Rira replied, and I drifted to sleep.

NEXT MORNING

I was already dressed for college when I met Mom, Alpha Royal, and Aiden in the sitting room. “Good morning, everyone,” I said as I walked downstairs with a small smile.

My eyes met Aiden’s, but he looked away first.

“Good morning, baby. Aiden will take you to college today,” Mom said, but I shook my head.

“I’d prefer to go alone today with the driver,” I replied, making Mom furrow her brows. She looked at Aiden and then back at me.

“Did something happen between you two?” she asked, but I shook my head.

“Nothing at all.”

“Did you both fight?” Alpha Royal chimed in.

“No, we didn’t,” we both replied in unison.

“So what’s with the silent treatment?” Mom noticed the tension.

“Nothing, Mom. I’ve always gone to college with him, but today, I want to go with the driver,” I flashed her a smile before walking out of the packhouse.

I reached the compound and found the driver already waiting. “Good morning, Miss Hayley,” he said with a smile.

“Hello,” I replied, getting into the car. The driver followed and drove off.
