Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267

KESTER.

The drive home was a bit boring and nerve–wracking, with a cocktail of tension and barely contained lust and desire.

Every few seconds, my gaze flicked up to the rearview mirror, where my máte lay so peacefully asleep across the backseat while putting on that skimpy short – the kind I’ve always told her not to wear that exposes way too much skin – I almost lost my shit.

Fuck. She’s been like this for Jake to see? Haven’t I warned her before now? Fuck. She’s always so stubborn to the bone.

And why the fuck was she even wearing something I didn’t buy for her? The last time I checked, I had gradually changed her wardrobe until she had none of her old clothes. She only had brand new clothes, which I either bought for her myself or went with her to buy.

A low growl built in my throat, and I forced it down, biting the inside of my cheek. I felt like ripping off the clothes from her body.

Zeth, the clueless fucker, had been struggling to take control. He wants nothing but to claim our mate immediately and put our mark on her.

“Mine,” he snarled. Over and over.

I gritted my teeth, locking him down with every ounce of willpower had left.

I had to keep him in check. I wouldn’t want to do anything else that would upset Mine. She’s already upset enough.

She didn’t need a possessive, snapping Alpha right now. She needed someone grounded who could think straight for both of us.

But hell, even I was unraveling.

I was worried at first, sincerely, about her transition. Only a few female wolves successfully transitioned while pregnant. The rest lose their pregnancies in the process.

Thankfully, our baby was still intact.

Our baby…

Those words hit differently. Felt satisfying. Sacred. Real. Unbelievable.

I’m going to have a child with the woman I’ve loved for nearly all my life. The one I dreamt of holding. Protecting. Growing old beside.

Fuck. How do I contain this excitement?

Chapter 267

But right now, all I could do was drive–grip the wheel tigliter, shove Zeth back into the back of my mind, and pray to the Moon Goddess I’d make it home without losing my shit completely.

The moment I brought the car to a stop in the parking lot, I stepped down and slammed the door shut, rounding the car to the other side of the backseat where she lay.
