Bullied By My Alpha Stepbrother novel Chapter 58

Chapter 59

Hardin

Yes, I did feel like I was the clown in the life that I had been living.

My fears were there, with my suspicions that was growing daily, but I did not want to believe that Lisa would be anyway connected to the death of my mother.

She was her twin, and they were always in good terms all the times that she came around while I was little. So what happened now?

“I killed your mom, yes, I am saying it out loud. And I regret not killing her earlier, I should have done that when we were still little so that she will be dead and long forgotten.”

Lisa’s words kept on replaying in my head, and I had to shut my eyes to stay sane. I only managed to open my eyes when I heard Russo’s voice and I turned towards the door.

“Answer me Lisa,” he repeated. “Did you have much luck trying to kill Camila?” His growl was very much domineering this time, and it took all the effort for my wolf to not cower.

Lisa was already fidgeting, and in a split of second, Dad was unto her, pressing her neck tightly.

“Dad, please… Dad,” Jasmine continuously yelled out, to Lisa’s rescue, while I still stood where I was. I felt like my legs were frozen as I had barely taken as much as a step since Lisa spilled out her truths.

Though I was really in support of Dad, Lisa deserved death. But Jasmine was right.

Killing her was not entirely the best thing to do at that moment, as they were still some under investigations to undergo. Besides, he would not have been any different from the heartless beast that Lisa was, if he had gone ahead to kill her without letting her undergo trials.

“You had to kill my mother all so you could be Luna?” I did not realize that my tear ducts had already kicked into function, if I had not felt a drop on my palm.

And with the way my voice was cracked, Jasmine immediately turned her face to me. The empathy she felt towards me was clearly visible in her eyes.

Compared to how Lisa’s voice had been loud before Russo entered, she did not say anything this time.

“You had to kill her! Tell me, how many more atrocities have you committed?” My voice had gone louder this time, and if the guards had not come into the room and were already holding Lisa at my father’s command, then I might have torn her apart.

“I mean, if you had told her that you wanted to be Luna, I am certain that she would have willingly left the position for you.”

“Fuck!” I growled louder, as my fingers ruffled through my hair. I felt like I was going insane from how fast everything was happening and I just wanted to take a break.

Unable to hold myself any longer, I fell back to the couch, the closest thing to me that could help fill in my leg duties.

“Fuckkk!!!” I growled again, much louder this time and Jasmine came rushing to me.

“Take her, and have her locked up in the dungeon. Make sure that she go through the worst torture.” Russo ordered, and even with my mint that was distracted, my ears did not fail to pick up Lisa’s screams of ‘you can not do this to me, I have always loved you’ as she was dragged away like a bull taken to the slaughter.

I only realized that I had lost it completely when more tears poured from my eyes and Russo walked to where I sat.

“You will be fine son. You will,” he patted my head as he said it, and for the first time since my mother’s passing, I desired that he would console me even more.

But it was obvious that I was wishing for so much, as his next words followed.

“You have to put yourself in order, Hardin. You have to be strong.”

Raising his face from me, to where Jasmine sat just beside me, “Jasmine dear, help Hardin to his room,” Russo ordered, and he left just after.

My eyes followed him as he walked out of the room, and it went back to Jasmine. I stared at Jasmine for a while, before lifting myself with my face still dropped.

With Jasmine beside me, I walked back to my room, and I dropped on the bed as soon as I got in.

“She did not have to kill my mother, you know?”
