Tempted By my Evil Lycan Stepbrother novel Chapter 27

Shayher 27 Pedes

Miley’s PPV

After that day, Odin and I kept going into fre montains for træning, We were syncing better with every session, which also boosted Odin’s confidence in a teas

As for the kiss, it never happened again

And we both silently agreed not to bring it up

With less than a week left before the official start of Hunting Season, Olivia finally decided to join us

To train more effectively, I started booking the academy’s training rooms These spots were in insanely high demand right before Hunting Season, so I had to stay up late stalking the booking site just to snatch a roof for the next day

But despite everything, our team was finally heading in the right direction.

“Great one!”

I was clapping and cheering from the sidelines as Olivia and Odin wrapped up a sparring round.

Odin clearly had the upper hand, but Olivia got in a few flashy counterattacks that made it a solid match. The two of them walked over, sweating and smiling, talking about things to improve during the next rounds.

“Call me crazy, but I actually think we have a shot at winning,” Odin said after drinking half a bottle of water.

“Oh, we’re absolutely winning.” I said

“Oh god, please I can’t believe how delusional you both are.” Olivia rolled her eyes. “Do you even realize how many strong teams are in this school? Let alone Ezza what’s basally tratate – there are a ton of others with perfectly balanced teams. Where the hell is your confidence coming from

“We’re strong too,” I argued

“Not strong enough,” she snapped back “Honestly, I’ll be thrilled if we even survive until the last three days.”

Odin shrugged with a helpless grin “Can you imagine how our parents would react if we didn’t even make it that far?”

“Oh god it’d be a total nightmare,” Olivia groaned

I studied their expressions. This wasn’t the first time they talked about pressure from their parents.

“So your folks are that strict?”

“Oh, they’re the worst,” Olivia huffed. “Blue Mountain Pack isn’t one of the strongest packs around here, and that seriously bugs them. How do you make your pack stronger? Easy–push your heirs until they break and hope they carry the whole pack to glory. It’s so sick.”

“Come on, Olivia It’s not that bad,” Odin said.

“Seriously, Odin? Still playing the good boy? They can’t see or hear you, you know,” Olivia growled. “Ten calls a week just to check our grades. Threatening to cut us off if we’re not in the top 10% of our class? That’s not normal!”

“Yikes,” I muttered

Odin gave me a sheepish glance, clearly embarrassed. “Anyway, I really think we’ll make top ten percentile in Hunting Season So there’s no need to stress”

“We could’ve. If it were just the two of us,” Olivia said, then shot me a sharp look. “But let’s not forget the dead weight

I didn’t say anything

But I’d already made up my mind – I was going to help both of them w

1 wasn’t sure about beating fura because wallnew how insanery strong he was. Bet 1 coedd at least get us to the top THE MONE No matter how powerful the students at this school were, they were still just that dents I’ve sewn way worse in the underground arenas. Nothing hete could really scare me

And I planned to use a few “off–curriculum tricks to help us at

The best healers are also expert poisoners, after all.

I wasn’t going for anything lethal, of course. But knocking a few opponents out with a mildtbyt was totally budete

I glanced at the siblings.

I just needed to find a way to pull it off without my teammates noticing. Because explaining why a freshman from Royal Academy knew how to handle poisons was way too hard

I wasn’t ready for anyone to know I was the Veilwalker

“So, ready for another round? Odin said as he stretched “Riley, why don’t you hop in too? I know you won’t be fighting during the Season, but it’s good to know a few self defense moves, just in case”

I nodded and stood up

But right then, the training room door and open

A group of students charged in like they cumed the plane

“Hey, sorry, this room’s booked.” I said to them

The guy in front was a redhead with annoyingh good looks. He grished at me “Yeah? Well, we need to train too, and there are no free rooms. So how about we share

What the hell?

I frowned. “Absolutely not. This space isn’t big enough for two teams. If you want a spot, get up earlier and book one like the

rest of us

The tall guys behind him burst out laughing

“Oh damn, Silas, she told you to set an alarm‘ Why didn’t you think of that?” one guy cackled.

Their mocking tones only made me more annoyed. Odin and Olivia all moved to stand behind me.

Silas the redhead just kept smiling at me. He actually got very charming smile. “Look, I’m trying not to be an ass. So how about you pack up your stuff and let us take over? Makes things easier, yeah?”

I stared at him in disbelief.

Is this guy serious right now? He’s trying to steal our room and acting like he’s doing us a favor?

“Enough, Silas,” came a syrupy voice from behind the guys. A girl stepped out.

I narrowed my eyes. It’s Layla again.

“Don’t waste your time on her Silas. I told you she’s a difficult little skank. It’s impossible to reason with her,” she sneered

Oh, I’m the unreasonable one?” I said coldly. “My name’s right there on the booking sheet. Go take a look.”

“I don’t need to look,” she cooed. “You’re gonna give us this room, right now.”

“Or what?” I snapped

+25 Bonus

els, she wants to know or what! Lavla drated, and the boys burst out laughing again. “Silas, what should we do with her?

Silas rubbed its trim and gavene an exaggerated once – ever.

“Normally, I don’t hit girls. Especially not ones with pretty faces. I hate seeing blood on something that nice.”

“Watch your mouth, asshole,” Odin growled.

One of their guys crouched forward, ready to fight. “Just get the hell out of fiere, losers. You’re not winning anything anyway Might as well give us the room.”

My fists clenched. Anger boiled inside of me. I was thinking a way to solve this–whten Olivia suddenly grabbed us both

“Sorry. Sorry, this is your room now! We’re leaving right away!” she said quickly.

“What the hell, Olivia?” I cried.

But she shoved our bags into our arms and dragged us out the door. Behind us, their jeering and Layla’s staug voice rang out:

“That’s right. Run along, losers!”

Outside the building. I yanked my arm free from her.

“What the hell was that? Why’d you give in?” I snapped.

“I should be asking you that!” she glared at me “Do you seriously not know who that was?”

“Well, the girl’s my annoying roommate 1 don’t know the rest. Why, are they famous?”

She inhaled sharply “You’ve gotta be kidding me. Do you know nothing about this school? That red hair boy Silas–he’s the second strongest warrior here, just after Eztal They say he once took down three fully grown Lycans on his own. He’s one of the top picks to win Hunting Season You do not want to piss him off before it even starts!”

I frowned

Okay, I’ll admit – I haven’t exactly done my homework on the school’s power rankings. I usually just go to class and leave right

after

“So what now? We just let these guys win? That’s not fair I worked my ass off to book that room.”

“Doesn’t matter We can’t beat them,” Olivia muttered.

“We still need to train,” Odin sighed. “OK, how about this. Let’s just wake up even earlier tomorrow. Try to dodge them.”
