Attracted to My Lycan Stepbrothers

Nora's POV.

"Your father has been stabbed, Nora!" Emelia's voice sounded from the other end of the call. It had to be really serious because my stepmother had never called me before. A ball of dread rolled into my gut as I clutched the phone tight and came out from behind the counter.

"What happened?"

She was sobbing and sniffing. "I'm scared. I--I don't know if he's still breathing. He's losing so much blood. You have to be real fast!"

Panic made my blood boil as I hurriedly shoved past the line of customers waiting to be attended to and went towards the door.

"Where do you think you're going? It's not closing time yet!" My boss hollered behind me but I was past caring.

I bolted out the door, praying silently to the moon goddess to keep my father safe. I might not be his favourite, but I wasn't ready to lose him now.

I flagged down a taxi and I was in front of the pack's palace in no time. My knees were trembling and my palms sweaty as I pushed the front door open.

Then, everything changed the moment I laid my eyes on Dad who was seated on the cushion with not much as even a scratch. Emelia was also seated beside him.

Wait a bloody minute? Did they just deceive me? I felt my blood boil with anger as all rationality and sanity deserted me.

"How low can you stoop, huh?" I yelled through gritted teeth.

I saw the silent warning in his eyes. "Don't yell at me, Nora. You and I know that was the only way I could get you to come here. You have been away from home since last week and we have an emergency that requires the presence of all family members!"

I snorted a laugh. "Family members? Really, Dad? Now, I'm your family member. Just what kind of trouble did you get yourself into this time!?"

"Lower your voice, Nora!" Emelia warned. "You can't scream at the Alpha like that!"

I shot her a glare. "Stay out of it! He's my father and this is none of your business!"

"I'm done here!" With that, I started towards the door, clenching my fists in anger.

"Where do you think you're going, Nora? We have to talk!" Dad stopped me.

"If you expect me to sit down to have a discussion and pretend to be one good family, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!" I turned the doorknob but I soon froze at dad's next words.

"You are going to the Blood Lake Pack today to work at the Alpha's chambers!"

Slowly, I turned to face him. "What are you talking about?"

"We have a bit of a problem with the company's stocks. You just have to stay and entertain the Alpha there for a few days and you can come back." Emelia explained.

"I told you to shut the fuck up!" I bellowed angrily. "I'm speaking with my father!"

She flew into a rage. "Watch your language, Nora! Let's see how stubborn you can remain when you're being dragged off then!"

"Dad, please tell me this isn't true. Everyone knows the Alpha of Blood Lake pack is a monster. How could you do this to me!?"

Dad sighed. "It's about the company. If we don't do this, your mom's company will crumble. That's definitely not what any of us wants!"

The lumps in my throat broke as tears flooded my eyes but I refused to let it fall. How could my own Father use my mother's company against me? Even if he hated me that much, how could he sell me out?

I went to meet Dad and held his hands. "Dad, you have to call it off. You can have other girls in the pack do it! I still need to pay for mom's hospital bills. Dad, please you can't sell me off!"

He jerked my hands off. "It's a done deal, Nora! There's nothing I can do now. The Alpha's guards will be here in a few minutes time!"

"Why, Dad?" I sniffled back my tears. "Why did it have to be me? I'm your daughter! Your blood runs through my veins! How could you sell me off to a total stranger? Do you hate me that much!?"

He didn't say anything, increasing the anger and frustration tunnelling through me. "Dad, this is really unfair. Do you even love mom? Do you even care if she dies? You know I have to be here to take care of the medical bills. Are you praying she's confirmed dead so you'll become the sole owner of the company?"

That got to him and he gritted his teeth as he smacked me hard across the face. "How dare you speak to me that way!? I've tolerated your nonsense, but not this!"

He held the neck of my blouse. "I'm doing this for you. For your mom. If the company crumbles, do you think you'll be ever able to get your mom's surgery bill? No! You'll lose her forever!"

I understood fully well what he was insinuating. "Dad, how could--" I choked on my words as tears spilt out of my eyes.

"How could you make me choose between my mom's life and my life? You know I would choose her a hundred times. Why does it have to be me? I also have a life!" My voice had risen an octave.

"Nora!" Emelia started. "You don't have to cry over this. It's only for a week. When we get things sorted out, we'll come for you! You're his daughter after all."

I looked at her disdainfully. "Don't even get sweet with me. Since when did you care about me? You turned me into a slave in my own father's house until I couldn't take it anymore and I ran away. You turned him against me and now, you want me to understand him for trying to sell him off? If it's so easy, why not sell your daughter off instead!?"

A menacing glint flashed in her eyes and she dropped her composed posture. "You bitch! How can you even compare yourself to Brielle? She's a lot better than you. You have your mother's filthy omega blood running through your veins. You don't even have a wolf. You're a disgrace to the royal family!"

Her words stung like hell but I managed to hide my pain and sneered to spite her. "You can call me names all you want but I still won't do what you want. I won't go!"

"Then you can consider your mom the same as dead!" Dad bellowed, keeping a grim expression.

My heart broke to see he really didn't care if Mom died or not. Why did the moon goddess have to make him my father?

Before I could speak, the front door jerked open and two burly-looking men walked in and did a curt bow to dad.

"Alpha Max, the Alpha sent us to bring the girl."

Dad pointed to me. "There she is."

The men sized me up and I felt my heart pounding frantically in my chest as I racked my brain for a way of escape. I couldn't let them take me away from here.

I have been working my ass off for the past week since I left home all to raise money for mom's surgery and just now, I had little hope of my dreams coming through, they wanted to shatter it?

No way! I had to get away from here as soon as possible and get to the one person who could help me.

My boyfriend, Rowan.

"Hold on, I need to tell my dad something!" I told the men and they agreed.

I walked back to Dad. "I've had enough of your maltreatment, Dad!" I spat. "I'm so done letting you decide my fate! I would rather die than be offered as a slave to anybody!"

Without further warning, I pushed him and doubled up the stairs. I could immediately hear heavy footsteps behind me as they gave me a chase up the stairs.

I dashed into the nearest room by my left. It was my half-sister, Brielle's room, but I was past caring. I quickly bolted the door behind me but turning back, I received the greatest shock of my life.

There she was. Brielle in her naked glory, straddling a man who appeared to be none other than my boyfriend, Rowan.

Nora's POV.

All the air swooshed out of me as I stood riveted on a spot, with my legs trembling badly. Was I daydreaming or was this really happening?

My boyfriend and my half-sister? That wasn't possible. Both of them had a mutual feeling of hatred for each other. Can my day just get any worse?

I sagged against the door as angry sobs tore out of my throat. After mom, Rowan was the only person I could rely on in the whole Moon shadow pack, but now their mom's in a coma, he was the only person I had.

And just when I needed him the most. Just when I was about to be sold off as a slave to a stranger, he cheated on me. Not with just anymore. My own half-sister! Anger and pain burst in my head. My lips were quivering as I stifled my cry.

What made me angrier was that they were still oblivious to the company they had. They were so engrossed in their shameless lovemaking, that they didn't even hear the door open and click shut.

"What the hell are you doing?" I screamed, feeling my cheeks turning red.

Rowan's head looked from underneath Brielle's arms and a look of horror registered on his face when he saw me. He pushed her and jerked off the bed, sliding into a pair of trousers.

Brielle on the other hand just merely scoffed then wrapped herself with the sheets and sat back on the bed.

If I'd expected a little bit of remorse from her, then I was in for a shock because I could detect the glimmer of mockery as she regarded me with disdain.

That bitch! I screamed inwardly as all rationality left me.

"How dare you do this to me!?" I yelled, hoping they didn't notice the pain that laced my words.

"It's not what you think, Nora. It was a stupid mistake. It was just---"

"Not what I think?" I shot in angrily. "So, what is this? I saw you banging my sister. What should I think? You were acting a movie for a presentation at the Pack's theater?"

Brielle humped. "Stop being sarcastic, Nora. It doesn't really suit you. I was in my heat and Rowan was around to see you but you weren't at home. So, we just kinda hit it off."

"You hit what off? So, it's my fault. That's what you're saying? How could you be so brazen after sleeping with your sister's boyfriend, you slut!"

She sneered. "So what should I do? It's not like it's my fault that you couldn't satisfy your boyfriend. The deed has been done, there's no need to rant about it unless you want to have a threesome!"

She burst into laughter and I almost puked when Rowan spanked her to chide her. Emotions gnawed at me and tears stung my eyes but I managed to hold it all in.

"That was too harsh, Brielle. You can't speak to your sister that way."

She pouted. "It's not like I said anything bad. You also said that you wished you could have a threesome with both of us last month."

"Last month?" I all but screamed. "I thought you said it was a one-time thing that happened because you were on your heat!"

Realization dawned on me. They've been playing the fool's game all this while. Pretending to hate each other when they'd been banging each other consistently since the previous month. How could I have not noticed?

"Nora, just calm down and I'll explain!" Rowan held my hands. "It's just that I'm also a guy and I have my desires but you wouldn't lose your virginity till marriage and at some point, I just couldn't hold my heat any longer but I didn't want to force you."

I felt disgusted by him and before I could place a constraint on my temper, I smacked him hard on the face and he staggered slightly from the impact.

"You both can rot in hell! I don't give a---"

Before I could complete my statement, heavy banging sounded on the door, sending my heart thundering wildly in my head.

"I swear Nora, I'll break down this door if you don't open it!" Dad yelled angrily.

Brielle and Rowan exchanged confused looks and I quickly shoved past them and fled to the window, opening it wide enough to allow me to pass through. Without a second thought, I pulled up my weight to the tip of my toes and then jumped down.

The moon goddess must be on my side because I landed properly as though I had been doing that all my life. I started running towards the gate.

As I rounded a corner, I slammed against a hard-muscled chest and I would have toppled backward if not for the strong pair of arms that wrapped possessively around my waist, pulling me flush against their chest.

The guy's musk wafted into my nostrils, messing up my brain badly. I tried without success not to sniff him. He smelled heavenly and masculine. So manly. I felt him flex his hands and I could feel the play of his muscles against my waist, sending a ripple down my spine.

Slowly, I raised my head to look into the darkest eyes my gaze had ever trained on. Our eyes locked that very instant and I felt as though he were holding me captive, drawing me to the dangerous world beneath those shrewd sexy orbs.

My mind emptied when he licked the corners of his lips and his gaze slid to my lips. I swallowed hard in my throat, unable to think properly. His eyes reflected an expression I couldn't quite discern.

That moment, I forgot I had any worry in this world and all I wanted was to drown in those black depths of his. Something stirred in my guts as my eyes roamed higher and settled on his black hair that framed his face in the most sexy way ever.

Was he even real? I wandered hazily. Was he an angel from the moon goddess's Paradise?

"There you are, Nora!" Rowan's voice sounded behind me and I jolted out of the man's arms.

I faced Rowan, feeling a deep resentment for him. My gaze slid to Brielle who was beside him, clutching his arms. Her lips twitched savagely as disdain shone in her eyes.

Were they going to drag me to my father? I quickly calculated my chances of escape.

I was about to ask them when Rowan's voice drowned out mine.

"Do you seriously think I would let you leave after you hit me?" He inched closer to me.

Before Rowan could reach me, the guy stood in front of me, shielding me from him. He was taller than Rowan, giving him a domineering advantage.

Rowan didn't quite like that. He scowled. "Get lost, dude. This is between my girlfriend and me. A riffraff shouldn't butt in."

The guy kept mute while still maintaining his stance in front of me. Then the thought suddenly hit my mind. Two could play at a game, right?

I left the guy's back and faced Rowan. "Firstly, I'm no longer your girlfriend and secondly, he has a right to butt in because he's my boyfriend!"
