Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 272

My throat dried. “I don’t want o talk about this right now.”

“But it’s important,” she pushed. “You don’t get to pretend it doesnt matter. This is your future we’re talking about.”

“I know, Mum. Maybe some other time. Please.” I sighed.

“That’s fine,” She said, “Well, a lot happened when you left. I wish you were here to witness them. It was equal parts celebration and near tragedy after the transition.”

I got interested, “What happened?” I asked, rubbing my temples.

It wasn’t every time my Mum got chatty. So, this had to be good.

“You remember Sela, right? One of the girls that transitioned with you?”

I blinked, “Yeah?”

“She ended up being mated to her step–cousin.”

I frowned. “Her what?”

“Her step–cousin,” she said with disgust, practically spitting the word. “Can you imagine? What kind of abomination is that? It’s practically incest. I told Jareel it’s sick, and I still stand by that.”

I blinked, confused and disoriented. “But… Mum, they’re not blood–related.”

“So what?” she snapped, cutting me off like I hadn’t even spoken. “It’s still twisted! That’s supposed to be family, Kasmine. Family. It’s just wrong.”

My throat tightened.

I rubbed my forehead, exhaustion creeping up my spine like cold fingers. “Mum, they didn’t grow up together. They’re not related by

blood. It doesn’t count-”

“Oh, don’t start with that nonsense,” she hissed. “That’s the kind of logic people use to justify perversion. I don’t care if they met yesterday or never shared a single holiday growing up–once someone becomes part of your family, that’s off–limits. Period.”

I stared ahead blankly, my hand trembling slightly as I lowered the phone from my ear for a second.

I knew my mother. This thing between me and Kester would never ever be welcomed, even if I decide to accept the bond.

She will never accept it. Not in this lifetime. Not in the next. It would destroy her.

I clenched the phone tighter to my ear again, forcing my voice to stay even. “I just… I don’t think it’s the same thing.”

“It’s exactly the same,” she spat. “I felt so bad for her mother, Rachel. That could never be me. That would have been over my dead body. It’s a good thing we and the council were able to convince them to reject each other.”

A chill swept down my spine.

They went that far?

This meant there was not a single hope for me and Kester, even if I wanted to accept him.
