5-Take Me To School.
Nora:
I grabbed a sandwich and hurried upstairs after a strange encounter with my brothers. Although I wanted to stay in my room and never leave again, I had to go to school. I quickly took a shower and put on baggy jeans and a white top to cover my body. Their comments really affected my mind. I grabbed my school bag and left for school. Just because I was now living with the alpha king, didn’t mean I could **p school.
Dad told me I could enjoy the events and welcoming parties on the weekend, but today was Friday, so I had to face the students once again.
I left my room and had only raised my head when I saw the door to the studio open. While walking past it, I got to look inside and noticed Alpha Cain standing next to the window shirtless. Not only that, I got to see a silhouette of his butt, and that’s when I lost my balance.
He had his pants up till his knees as he was in the process of wearing them when he heard the bang and turned around, quickly pulling up his pants. Our eyes met, and I felt guilty, ashamed for eyeing his naked butt. It was so muscular and round. Oh my **d! What was I thinking about? He is my stepbrother, for heaven’s sake.
I mean, he looked equally p**d off. He saw me lying on the floor and rushed over. I m*y p*ar*ed myself to accept his help and apologize for ogling his butt, but instead of helping me

up, he slammed the door shut.
I felt like a thirsty and dirty person. The way he closed the door and judged me through his eyes was just too much. He must be thinking that I was peering at his butt. Collecting my stuff again, I got up and walked downstairs with my head down. Things were not going well. This is not how I had expected to be treated or introduced to the brothers.
“Are you ready for school?” Thankfully, before I could be spotted by any of my brothers, I found clad standing under the staircase in a suit and holding a laptop bag
“Yes! Thank you for dropping me off at school,” I met up with him on the first floor and noticed the way he shook his head.
“Oh! I wish I could. But I have an urgent meeting. Besides, your school is quite far from my office” dad used a gentle tone, looking sad for me.
“But worry not, I have already assigned your brother for this task,” as he said that, he gestured at my brother to come out from the kitchen.
Ryker walked out holding a sandwich in his hand, his eyes. scanned me before he raised his brow and then turned to look
at his dad.
“Do I really have to be her chauffeur?” The tiredness and exhaustion on his face was a sign that he was forced to do this job.
“What have I told you about her? You are going to pick and drop. her every day since her school falls in your way,” dad’s voice was stern this time. It didn’t take me long to understand that

dad can be very strict and they obliged him if he tries hard.
At the same time, I didn’t realize that somebody was coming downstairs, and I was a hurdle in their way. As I stood in the way, my body was tossed to the side a bit roughly by Cain, who had walked downstairs all fresh and dressed up.
I could tell why he pushed me aside. So the reason he was naked was that he had taken a shower, but why didn’t he close his door? Does he always leave the door open for show?
I closed my eyes and hissed at myself for thinking about it..
“Anyway, you have to take her responsibility,” I was pulled out of my thoughts when dad raised his voice at Ryker, who closed hist one eye before nodding reluctantly.
“Now Nora, grab something to eat and then leave, okay?” Dad’s affirmation really made me feel like I was finally loved and well
taken care of.
“Thank you, Daddy,” I said innocently, but my response was met with a loud laugh and a taunting chuckle from the two brothers. standing beside their father. They exchanged a glance and then laughed loudly, making me look at them with sad eyes.
“What’s wrong with you two?” Dad asked them, noticing the awkwardness on my face.
“She calls him daddy, no wonder he listens to her,” Ryker made a mess of such an innocent sentiment. It was disgusting how Ryker made fun of me and my stepfather. I wondered where they drew the line.
“Don’t,” Dad scolded them, “just because you boys joke about

these things doesn’t mean you can joke like that with your little
The minute he reminded them that I am their sister, their smiles faded away. Cain rolled his eyes and grabbed his phone out of his pocket, casually scrolling through it, while Ryker was now watching me and waiting for his father’s orders.
“Take her to school and make sure you tell the teacher to introduce her again to the class, but this time, as your
stepsister” I could tell that Dad’s words didn’t sit well with Ryker as he frowned and took a deep breath.
Ryker didn’t say a word and walked towards the exit before me. He made sure to take long strides, leaving me behind as if he wasn’t going to wait for me.
However, when I left the mansion, I was stunned to see him sitting on a black heavy bike.
‘I have never ridden a bike before, I commented, approaching. the bike and admiring how beautiful and savage it looked.
“Great! Check it off the bucket list now,” Ryker sat down and wore his black helmet, looking so handsome with his black. shining long coat and pants on. He had a few weird weapons. tucked around his pants. I knew he was a patrol officer and would occasionally come to our school to teach the students some of the surviving techniques.
I have seen him around but never took his class as I joined this school not long ago.
“Hop on, I’m not going to wait for you the entire day,” he hissed, turning the bike on. I sat behind him and as I was about to wrap

my arms around his waist, I noticed that he adjusted the mirror in a way that he could keep an eye on me.
I held my arms around his stomach and leaned on top of him, feeling very awkward. However, the moment we hit the road, I realized it was not safe and this stepbrother of mine was crazy.
The way he sped on the road left me tightening against his stomach and closing my eyes. I prayed he didn’t run into someone and in just a matter of a few seconds, we had already arrived at our destination.
“You are not coming with me?” I uttered softly, making sure I’m holding onto his jacket so that he just doesn’t take off on his bike.
“Why would I go in there with you?” he took off his helmet to make a deep eye contact with me as if warning me to not annoy him.
“The school bullies attack me. That’s why dad said you should come with me and introduce me as your stepsister,” I continued to explain but the look on his face told me that he was not at all concerned.
“And? You think I would believe your story?” he shrugged, giving a quick stretch to his neck before turning his attention back at me, “I know all this bullying story was so that you could ask my father to bring you home. You can fool that old man, but not
me.”
The fact that he didn’t even spot the tears of helplessness in my eyes bewildered me
“Then take me home,” I attempted to climb back on the bike

when he pushed me and I lost my balance, tripping and landing on my butt.
It happened in such a haste that couldn’t save myself from falling.
“Nobody is out here for you. Go attend your school,” he hissed.
“What? You are leaving? I thought Dad said “I was in the process of reminding him what Dad had said when he started his bike again and drove off.
I was not only confused but upset too. My naive self thought my stepbrothers would protect me from bullies, just like I have always craved my entire life, but I guess it was going to be another hell of a day.
