“Akira! No! That can’t be. Our three mates have already hurt us enough and the fourth is also their brother?” I refused to listen to her. Another mate! And my stepbrother at that. They don’t care about me anymore.
“Maybe once he feels the mate bond with us, he will grow affectionate towards us,” she urged.
“You don’t understand–” The way she had to pause made me realize she was barely holding it together. The pain she was feeling was surfacing, and if she didn’t express it, she might slip into a coma inside. me. This had never happened before. But maybe it was because I had found my mates so soon.
“Silas is also our mate,” I was in shock. I should have known that would happen. Why would only one brother not be our mate? But the fact that we hadn’t discovered him for so long must have been agonizing for Akira.

“Silas!” Breaking the kiss, I said his name through gasps.
“If you hadn’t found me, I would have found you,” he uttered, throwing his glasses away and pulling me into the room with him.
Now I stood with my back pressed hard against the wall.
“I don’t care what happened, I just feel like somewhere deep down in me I knew—I knew you were the one for me,” he said, pacing in front of me, not anxiously but happily.

“Because I’m a bad person and I cause trouble?” As soon as I said that, he tilted his head and looked at me as if I were being silly.
“Tell me, you’re angry with me,” I couldn’t believe I was in such a desperate state.
“I can never be angry with you, Nora!” With that, he took my hand and kissed the back of it, but I quickly pulled my hand away and shook my head.
