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

Chapter 2

Hayley's POV

I stood still, rooted to the ground for some minutes, my cheeks still hot and red from the encounter with my stepbrother. “Grip yourself! He is your brother for heaven's sake,” I said to myself, trying to convince myself not to look at him in a way that would get me stuck forever. “We will try to avoid him,” Rira, my wolf, said to me. “Yes, we will do that, but we both live in the same room. Is that even possible?” I sighed. “We just have to try. Remember that your stepbrother and your mom will be getting married to his father in a few months. You won't want to cause problems for them, right?” Rira asked, and I shook my head. “My mom's happiness matters the most,” I mumbled before shoving my fingers into my scalp in frustration.

“Hey Hayley, it's time for lunch. Aren't you coming?” Mina mind-linked me, bringing me back to reality. “I will be there soon,” I replied through the mind-link before leaving the empty classroom.

I stopped by the girls’ toilet to wash my face, hoping I could stop thinking about what happened some minutes ago with Aiden, because it refused to leave my head. I entered one of the toilets and shut the door before turning on the tap, splashing water on my face. When I was done, I cleaned my hand with a towel and was about to leave when two girls entered the toilet, both giggling like kids.

For some reason, I decided to stay behind and listen to what they had to say. It was totally unusual of me to eavesdrop on people's conversations, but I didn't know why I stayed back to listen to them.

“I almost fainted when Prince Aiden told me to leave his way. His voice is so hot that I squirted in my panties,” one of the girls said. I didn't even know when a low scoff left my mouth. “If only Gina wouldn't be a pain in the neck, Prince Aiden would have been mine. That b***h is just so clingy,” the other said as they washed their hands. “Did you notice something between Hayley and Prince Aiden?” the first girl, who said she had squirted in her panties when she heard Prince Aiden speak to her, brought up the conversation.

I was about to leave because I wasn't interested in their conversation, but stopped immediately when my name was mentioned. “I don't get you. What's supposed to go on between them when they are just siblings?” the second replied. “I know, but Prince Aiden's over-protection over his sister is getting way too much that I couldn't help but get suspicious,” the first said while the second rolled her eyes. “I will warn you to be careful, before you get yourself into big trouble,” the second warned and walked out of the toilet while the first followed behind her. “I know but—” she was about to continue when another toilet door burst open, revealing me with a straight face. The two girls gasped when they saw me, most especially the first girl who said something about Prince Aiden and me.

I ignored them and continued my walk out of the ladies’ toilet, but the first girl named Leila stopped me. “Hey,” Leila called, making me turn to her. I gave Leila a raised brow, my eyes glaring daggers at her. “I don't mean to gossip about you and Prince Aiden, but I just couldn't help it. Please don't tell your brother,” Leila begged, while a smirk curved on my lips. “I am not a gossiper like you, and I don't give a f**k about what you say about me or my brother,” I turned around and walked away.

I got to my class but found it empty; even Mona and Mina were gone. “Meet us in the cafeteria,” Mina mind-linked me. “I will be there soon,” I replied and left the class, making my way to the cafeteria.

“What took you so long, Hayley? Were you making out with Holland, that bastard!” Mina was the first to speak up immediately when I settled down beside them in the cafeteria. “Mind your words, Mina. Just because he rejected me then doesn't mean he is a bastard. I thought so too and hated him for months, but he wasn't my fated mate sent by the moon goddess, so why hate on him?” I said and munched on a slice of pizza. “Even at that, he is still a bastard. Now, he wants to get closer to you and make you fall for him again, so that he can break your heart. Hope you didn't kiss him?” Mina chimed in. “Girls, calm down. He was about to kiss me when my brother came. Aiden is a hot-tempered guy and he didn't think twice before punching Holland,” I sighed. “Woah! I love Prince Aiden, I swear. How I wish I had a brother that was protective of me. You're so lucky, Hayley,” Mina said with a smile on her face. “I know I am lucky, but students have started gossiping about his overprotectiveness over me,” I muttered and shoved another pizza into my mouth.

“Chill, baby girl. Why are you bothered about what the students said? So far you didn't kiss or have s*x with your brother, why should you be worried?” Mona said, but I was quiet, my eyes dimmed. “Wait, what? Don't tell me you had s*x with your brother?” Mina shouted but Mona was quick to cover her mouth before glaring at her. “Are you trying to stir up rumors? Are you mad?” Mina hushed. “Why would I sleep with my brother?” I muttered.

We were still talking when Aiden and his two friends, Kelly and Clark, walked into the cafeteria. Students started screaming like they were some sort of celebrities. Though they are so hot like celebrities or rather idols. Clark looked like a calm guy who is so hot but he is known as a playboy who doesn't sleep with ladies twice. While Kelly is the jovial type, he has a girlfriend and doesn't f**k around like Clark. Coming to Prince Aiden, his name suits him so much.

He looks like some god who fell from heaven. He is so hot that girls would always squirt in their panties at the sight of him, and his deep voice sounded like that of the ocean. The screams kept getting louder until they settled in their respective seats.

“I will go order our meal,” Kelly said and left to get their lunch. Prince Aiden was busy on his phone when Gina walked into the cafeteria and went straight to him. “Hey babe,” she pecked his lips despite the numerous eyes staring at them, including mine. I just couldn't take my eyes off them, and for some reason, I felt anger and jealousy rise inside of me when Gina kissed Prince Aiden.

“Don't do that ever again. You know how much I hate kissing,” Prince Aiden said coldly to Gina, his face still glued to his phone. “But babe, you're my boyfriend, why won't you let me kiss you?” Gina whined like a kid as she sat on his legs. “Stand up, Gina, and point of correction, I am no one's boyfriend, we are just s*x partners,” Prince Aiden said. “Whatever, you belong to only me. But why can't you just kiss me? Even when we are having s*x, you always avoid kissing me,” Gina said slowly as tears left her eyes.

That was Prince Aiden's weakness and she made use of it well by crying. He hates tears so much that he always becomes vulnerable when he sees someone crying. “Do whatever you want,” he muttered, making Gina smile. She positioned herself properly on his lap and kissed him deeply. Prince Aiden also reciprocated the kiss, not minding if they were in the cafeteria or not. Seeing that Prince Aiden kissed Gina back, I felt bile rise to my throat and my stomach churned.

“Hey girls, I have lost my appetite. Meet me in class,” I forced a smile, before standing up. As I walked away, I gave Prince Aiden one last glance which he caught. He caught me staring but still continued kissing Gina until I was gone. “I think we've done enough,” Prince Aiden pushed Gina away from him a little. “Wow, I am obsessed with your lips, Prince Aiden,” Gina smiled, winked at him before walking away. Prince Aiden looked in the direction I followed before leaving the cafeteria also.

“Why did Hayley suddenly leave?” Mona asked while munching on her milkshake. “I really don't know. Maybe she has an upset stomach,” Mina replied nonchalantly.

I heard them say.
