And Then There Were Four

Cassie's eyes widened in shock as her lips parted. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Don't play stupid. First, you reject your mate and then decide that sleeping and toying with him is fun and games. And then, on top of that, you're flirting and trying to hook up with every other male on this campus. You really have lowered yourself to being a whore, haven't you?" The anger that quickly swept over my sister was unlike anything I could have ever expected. Her eyes glowed blue as she snarled at me, fangs over her lips, stepping forward, ready to lash out at me in any way that she could.

"I don't know who the fuck you think you're talking to, but you have no clue what the hell has been going on. And maybe if you tried being more my brother instead of the egotistical prick that you are because I am better than you, maybe you would have some type of insight into what's going on in my life."

Collective gasps were heard all around. Before I could bring my hand back to slap the crap out of her for what she said, the electric blue-haired girl stepped in between us. Her eyes narrowed at me as she placed her hands against my chest and shoved me back as hard as she could.

I hadn't expected someone as small as her to be able to shove me as she did. I flew back three feet, falling onto the ground, my eyes wide as I stared at her, the electric current of her touch still running through my skin.

The first time I met her, I knew there was something about her, something that drove my inner beast crazy. But I didn't want to admit there was a possibility she was my mate, even though she smelled more heavenly than I could have ever imagined. Yet the moment she touched me, even though it was to shove me to the ground for speaking to my sister the way that I did, I knew for a fact this girl was my mate.

"Trixie!" the darker girl said standing near Cassie. "What are you doing?"

"I'm handling a problem. He may be her brother, but that doesn't give him the right to speak to her like that!" she snapped as she crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at me with disapproval. Disapproval that hurt me more than I was willing to admit.

"Trixie, it's okay," Cassie said before Trixie held up her hand, cutting Cassie off. The tension of the situation quickly dissipated as we tried to wrap our heads around what just happened.

Everyone around seemed just as shocked as I was that this small, petite girl could do what she did, but there was no denying the anger in her eyes as she looked at me.

Shaking her head, Trixie gave me a sad look and sighed. "I understand that you're her brother, Lux, but honestly, that was uncalled for. I had such higher hopes for you."

When those words left Trixie's

mouth, I wanted to break down and beg for her forgiveness. I had waited for a mate for so long, and even though I had hoped for a shifter, couldn't deny the draw I had to this girl. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I think you've registered him speechless," the dark-skinned girt said as she crossed her arms over her chest with a smirk. Everybody in the entire hall was staring at me as if waiting for me to respond.

However, I wasn't able to speak because I didn't know what to say.

Looking at my sister, I watched her brows furrow in confusion as she looked from me to Trixie and then back. Her brows lifted as her mouth parted in shock.

"Holy shit!" She laughed, making both Trixie and the other girl glance at her in confusion. "This shit just got a lot more interesting. Guess karma's a bitch, isn't it."
