Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 261 Chapter 261 KESTER.

June's laughter followed after the silence.

I didn't react.

But I felt the slow burn crawling up my spine. It wasn't anger or fear Just a quiet, dangerous fucking fury that pressed like cold steel behind my ribs.

"You think I'm stupid?" she asked, lifting her head, chin tilted with a smirk that toldshe thought she'd won. I didn't answer. I just looked at her.

"I've seen the signs for months, honey," she continued. "Hell, I saw the signs long before you can ever even imagine. But I said nothing." I tilted my head just slightly. "What signs?" She laughed again, slowly walking away from the table, pacing like she was giving a TED talk about betrayal. "Don't play dumb, Kester, You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about." My silence was its own kind of answer.

She turned sharply. "You've been fucking your stepsister." I didn't flinch. I didn't give her the satisfaction. But my hand curled into a fist by my side.

"I saw you," she continued, almost as if she was cutting herself with her own words but enjoying the pain anyway. "In your office.

Her knees were on the fucking desk. Your shirt off. Her dress hiked up." She stepped closer.

"And that wasn't the only time." I still said nothing, but she kept going.

"I've seen you two more times than I can count. In Maldives. In this house... You forgot there is a fucking hole on your wall that leads to her room? You fucked her the night I slept here after dinner!" Oops. I totally forgot about that hole. I thought it was hidden in plain sight. But of course, she found it. And I hoped she enjoyed the spectacle of watching live porn.

"And the way you look her? Like you'd burn the fucking world down just to touch her. Her voice dropped to a bitter murmur, "I loved you, you piece of shit." I finally looked up at her. Her eyes were glossy.

"And I stayed," she, her voice rising again. "Even when everything insaid I shouldn't. Even when I saw the tattoo on your back that night. You remember, don't you? You were bare. Stupid enough to forget I was behind you." Oh. She saw that, too? The night, I was too exhausted to notice she was still in the room. Perfect.

"And I told myself... I'd win you over," she said. "That once we were engaged, you'd forget her. That you'd finally seeand choose 1/3 Chapter 261 1. me.

I was quiet.

"I didn't ask for your love, June," I said coldly, and she scoffed.

"But I loved you either way," She looked atincredulously.

"That's on you. Not me. I shrugged, but something in my expression must've changed because her smile twisted into something cruel.

"You really think you can call this off? No. No, Kester. If you so much as breathe about this to the press-if you even try-the entire world will know that the great Kester Hamilton, Alpha of the Blood Crescent pack, has been screwing his sister." She leaned in.

"Do you think your precious little empire will survive that?" Her perfwas cloying, and it smelt like rot.

I exhaled slowly, then reached for the whiskey again and drained it.

"Are you done?" She blinked. "Because I've had more than enough of this performance," I added.

"You really think this is a performance?" she hissed. "I sent that recording to Kasmine already," she said. My blood went still.

She saw it. That split second where everything insidewent still. And she leaned in like a fucking predator.

She tilted her head like a fucking villainess out of a slow-burn who just drew blood. "Just to shake her up a bit, and I am certain as hell it did." The ringing in my ears clike a freight train. I didn't think-I just moved.

My hand shot out and clamped around her wrist in a grip that made her gasp, I I yanked her towardso fast her heels scraped the marble.

She stumbled into my space, our faces inches apart.

"Listen to me, June Mellors," I breathed, "I've taken down people om with more power and less stupidity than you. People who thought they could stand in my way for even a fucking second." Her eyes widened.

"Karina tried," I growled. "You know what happened to her, don't you? You saw it on the news, hm?" She flinched.

"You? You're a walkover," I continued, my voice lowering to something lethal. "It would take exactly one click in my head to erase you. Not ruin. Erasure." Her pupils trembled m leaned in closer, my breath brushing her cheek. "You're lucky to have Norlan backing you," I hissed. "Because without him, I'd snuff your life out right here on this floor. And they'd never find your body. Not tomorrow. Not ever. Your sick father would spend the rest of his miserable, dying life wondering what happened to his precious little daughter." She tried to pull away, but I wasn't done.

"You leave Kasmine the fuck out of your delusional circus. You don't get to touch her with your poison. I won't tell you twice." 2/3 Chapter 261 And before her panicked mind could fully process what I just said, t her go with a shove.

She fell hard, landing flat on her ass, her dress riding up, her palms lapping the floor as she caught herself. Her breath cin little panicked gasps, eyes flicking up tolike she didn't recognize the man she had just tried to play with.

I stared down at her. "Let this be the last tyou ever threatenI said with voice like death, "or Kasmine." With one last condescending glare, I walked out on her.
