3-My Stepbrothers Are Hot But Crazy!

Nora:

“I promise I didn’t mean to listen to him talk about my-,” I bit my tongue as I lowered my face and

clutched my hands before. my body.

“It’s alright. I know he’s exaggerating. I mean, how can you event tell him who you are. So don’t

worry, I’ve known you since you were a kid, and I believe in your character, my child,” Lord Atwood’s

soothing tone made me feel complete.

I closed my eyes and turned my head to the other side because a faint memory of my own father

disturbed me. He never used such kind words for me. I was so disgusted by him.

“I don’t think Alpha Cain will accept me as his sister,” I uttered as I sat down in the foyer with my

new father, who seemed much better than my old father.

“It will take time. Even if he argues with you or fights with you, he will not let any outsider treat you

wrong. That’s the thing about my sons; they protect what belongs to them,” Lord Atwood smiled as

he talked about his sons.

I was worried about what kind of relationship he had with Lillian. Obviously, I didn’t know any

secrets.

The brown seven-seater sofa set with a big display TV on the wall and all the decot around looked

so lonely. The mansion. was filled with emptiness even when so many were living under

this roof.

I wasn’t even over the trauma of meeting my one brother when the door swung open, letting us hear

the commotion outside as a young man sprinted inside with his raspy breaths louder than anything

else and blood running down his nose.

“Oh My Goddess! Is he okay?” I took to my feet at the sight of the man walking hastily towards us,

only to step back and sit down out of fear when he pointed his finger at me, warning me not to get

any closer.

“Nash!” Lord Atwood said his son’s name, trying to get up but instantly changed his mind and

remained seated when Alpha Nash hunched over him in a threatening manner.

“What have you done, old man? Huh! Why is it that Cain is telling me that you brought home that

s**’s daughter and now you want us to take part in your twisted games that you played with our

mother and accept this trash?” he yelled at his father before he turned his head towards me and

pointed at me.

I straightened my back and lowered my eyes to avoid eye contact with him. Lord Atwood had given

me a gray sweater to cover myself with since my shirt was all torn from the middle.

Alpha Nash tossed aside his boxing gloves and wandered. around, running a hand through his one

inch hair and aggressively sniffling. His aura was so strong and rough that I didn’t even want to be

in the same room as him. He seemed like he could take aggressive action and probably hit me if I

dared speak a word to him. His striking sea-blue eyes were bloodshot, and his black hair was

drenched in sweat.

-Lord Atwood had told me that Nash would come home late

because he was participating in a boxing match. But since he got the news of my arrival, he came

home early.

“Would you have rather let me deal with everything alone? I have made a promise-,” now that Nash

had stepped away, Lord Atwood got up from his seat to explain it better to his son why he brought

me here. But Nash was an impatient young man; he hissed and silenced his father.

“You made promises to us when begging us for forgiveness. You told us we would never hear about

your mistress or anything related to her. So why is this-girl here? I don’t accept her as my sister,” he

pointed at me and took a brief pause before declaring his decision.

“Hey, brother! What’s going on?” Before any more words could be spoken, two more alphas walked

inside with their mood cheery and probably having no idea what mess was awaiting them.

“Nash! Weren’t you supposed to be-,” the guy with striking gray eyes and two-toned hair, black with

streaks of silver, was about to ask his brother when he halted to pass me a glance, “looks like dad

got caught in bed with someone who could easily pass for his daughter,” his comment made me

flinch in disgust.

There was something about him that seemed so wrong and s** at the same time. He was wearing a

black jacket over his white shirt and black pants, his sleeves rolled up and small knives hanging

down from his pants’ pockets.

“What kind of language is that, Ryker?” Lord Atwood tried to object, but Nash’s loud scoff brought

silence to him,

“Come on, let me introduce you to your little sister—remember

Lillian? That’s her daughter and now our sister,” Nash ran over the words when rushing in my

direction and literally pointing his finger in my face.

I pulled back in my seat and watched the two young Alphas share a glance and then look at me.

“Dad! How could you do this to us? To our mother?” The one who hadn’t said a word till now spoke

up. He had curly black hair that was messily resting on his forehead while the black frame of his

glasses secured his beautiful gray sharp eyes. He had much fuller lips than his brothers and a white

labcoat tucked under his arm.

The black hoodie was unable to hide his perfectly toned biceps as he had the sleeves rolled up too.

“Silas! Out of all of you, I hoped you would understand,” Lord Atwood expressed his sadness

through his soft tone, but the brothers seemed unfazed.

“This is a new kind of disrespect to our mother,” Silas shook his head when answering his father.

“Well, anyway,” now that Lord Atwood seemed like he didn’t have a choice because the reactions

were too explosive, he used his calm and ex-alpha King voice to address the situation, “she is my

daughter and your sister. Whether you like it or not. And I’ll not accept anyone disrespecting her

under my care,” he declared, spreading his arm over the sofa and taking a deep -breath of

relaxation.

“So! Meet Nora,, from today onward, she is your sister. And Nora! These unhinged, arrogant, and

self-destructive Alphas are your brothers. They will take care of you, and if they don’t, feel

free to tell me ‘all about them,” the sudden shift in his tone was

shocking.

He sounded authoritative.

The brothers now stood in line, glaring at their father and understanding that he was using his

status over them.

I heard they were under the test period before they claimed the title of the alpha Kings of north,

south, east, and west. Hence, they were forced to act decently even when they were far from just

that.

However, I did understand their feelings. They have lost their mother because of their father’s affair,

so I don’t know what to think about my new father yet.

“Nora! The one in the messy state is your brother, Alpha Nash. He came out a few minutes earlier

than his other brothers. He’s a boxer, who punishes the pack’s Sinners by boxing with them, almost

leaving them dead before kicking them out of the pack. And he is also soon to be the Alpha King of

the South,” as those words left Lord Atwood’s lips, Nash looked around at his brothers before taking

a seat in silence. His breathing was still erratic, but he was holding in all the anger now.

“And the Royal Highness who has finally decided to show up,” Lord Atwood turned to Cain, who

was coming downstairs, still shirtless. “He’s Alpha Cain, a royal painter. He only keeps his nose in

pack’s royal assets. You must have also taken a peek at his work.” Lord Atwood now sounded

sarcastic as he disapproved of them shouting at him ever since they arrived. Cain rolled his eyes

and stopped behind the couch where Nash. was sitting. Cain hunched over and rested his hands on

the couch’s backrest, narrowing his eyes at me, indirectly

threatening me.

“This is Alpha Ryker, he’s your senior in high school and also a border patrol officer, a warrior if you

may say, for now before he takes over the West,” I watched the one with two-toned hair. Weirdly

enough, he was the only one who passed a smirk, a very disturbing one. “And this over here! The

ruture Alpha King of the North is Alpha Silas; he’s the packs doctor,” Lord Atwood

introduced the one wearing glasses to me.

“Hacker!” Suddenly, Ryker’s comment changed the whole ambiance of the foyer.

“Someone who is able to hack a helpless Omega’s wolf,” he added and my body formed

goosebumps.

“Sorry? Lord Atwood tilted his head to his son, who in return glared at Silas.

“I found a helpless omega wandering around the pack’s border today, trying to cross it. But when I

found him, I noticed. something odd about him. His eyes were mostly white as if he was under

control of his wolf but later he claimed, his wolf was under someone else’s control. I wonder who

could be the best. doctor of wolves in our pack who can directly communicate with wolves without

even involving their human forms,” Ryker was staring at Silas, who refused to accept any of it.

“For the last time, I didn’t do anything. Silas abruptly yelled, and I got chills running down my spine.

The brothers weren’t even close.

“You’re lucky I don’t have proof; otherwise, I would have thrown your sorry a** in jail for trying to

send a poor omega out of the pack,” Ryker hissed, only stepping back when Nash got up and

stepped between them.

‘Don’t raise your voice when I’m around. Unless you want me to rearrange your face. Nash yelled at

They had problems of their own, how the helll were they going to resolve my issues?

Lord Atwood got up from his seat, stealing eyes from me for introducing his messed-up family to

me. The four started bickering in the distance after Atwood dragged them away from me I

completely forgot that there was still someone standing behind the couch, his eyes fired on me until

I straightened my posture and accidentally made eye contact with him

“Welcome to our perfect little farmily, little sister, Alpha Cain smirked, erecting his spine, and then

turning his attention to his brothers. He inattentively rubbed his hand over his stomach, grazing his

abs before joining the chaos. That was a messy start. I was beginning to feel like made a mistake

by coming here:
