Bullied By My Alpha Stepbrother novel Chapter 51

Chapter 52

A day earlier

Jasmine

Everything at home had been going quite well. I confirmed when at dinner, and Russo was not around, Lisa had quietly eaten her meal, without making any attempt to taunt Mom. Hardin also, though he was not at dinner, was doing pretty okay and had barely slept outside the house in the past weeks. His absence at dinner was clearly because he had accompanied Dad for a meeting.

I could also attest to the fact that Hardin was getting better, asides that he still had sex with me when he wanted, which I did not totally hate, as I felt some emotions of love towards him.

Well, I guess it was the one thing that always kept me in check whenever I thought of reporting Hardin. Since as much as it was wrong for a step brother to have sexual attractions towards his sister, it was also wrong for me to be emotionally attached to him.

"Take care, Mom," I passed her a kiss, before finally leaving the house to join Hardin that was already waiting for me outside.

Through out the drive to school, I did not exchange any words to Hardin, and thankfully the earphone that I had on me was a perfect distraction. But still, from the corner of my eyes, I could notice Hardin's glares on me.

Just as I stepped down from the car, I noticed Lorenzo parking by the side of Hardin's car which caused my heart beat to skip by a millisecond as Hardin had passed a sharp glare on me. I was hoping that they had resolved whatever issues that they had, but as much as they had tried to resolve whatever issues that they had since after the kidnap incident, their baseless hatred for themselves still thrived.

"Jasmine..." Lorenzo walked over to where I stood with a smile on his face, and it was then that the conversation that I and Lorenzo had yesterday after dinner came back to my memory. The same thing that he had been doing for a while which always got me pissed off, was what he did last night.

Ask for pictures of me, naked.

When Lorenzo brought up the topic, I made sure to tell him that I did not like the whole idea of it, and that he should stop. But he never listens. And whenever the conversation was getting to the peak, and getting me clearly annoyed, he always did apologize and promise to never do it. But it was not the case.

"What is it?" I sighed, trying hard to let him know that I did not appreciate any of his pervy advances, even as I had forgiven him.

"You're still angry? I said that I'm sorry already," Lorenzo informed, and with a sigh, I dropped my chin that I had already raised.

"Okay."

"Thank you," he quickly mentioned, and we left for classes.

"Who is going with me for a party? Jasmine!" Nadia said, before I could even answer, startling me.

"What party?" My brows were raised, while my eyes searched hers, "what party please?"

"Have you not heard?" She rolled her eyes, as she walked to sit where I was at the cafeteria.

It was not exactly lunch break, but all of the other wolves including Lorenzo had gone for running, which was a particular class activity that I always missed out on because I had not turned.

But to my surprise, Nadia had probably skipped it, and there she was with me, talking about party.

"Astrid's throwing another party. Do you even know anything that is happening around you?" She shook her head, then picked up the last bacon that I had on my plate.

"Nadia..." Before I could stop her, she had already thrown it into her mouth, and I was left, staring at her.

"I am sorry," she mouthed with a giggle.

I could not get angry at her, anyway, so I took my gaze back to the food. But I knew exactly what to say that was going to get Nadia begging, which I did.

"I am not going for the party." I mentioned, and silently waited for her response.

"What?! You can't be serious right?"

Well, to Nadia, I did not want to go for the party to serve her as punishment that she ate my bacon, but I knew it was because of what happened the last time at Astrid's party. And even as I did not want to think about it, whenever I saw Astrid and the blonde haired girl that I still did not know her name, I could not help but keep on replaying the videos that Hardin had showed me that day in my head.

Soon enough, the hall became noisy, and when I tilted my wrist to check the time, it was lunch break already.
