Mated to My Stepbrother After Bullied By His Mate

I never thought a dance could bring me disaster

Tonight, at the annual Moon Goddess Festival, my brother, the heir of the Silver Moon pack, Aiden, and I performed a dance together.

We won a lot of applause. Aiden made me the star of the festival.

Unexpectedly, after the dance, Aiden's mate came with a group of sorority members to bully me.

"How dare you flirt with Aiden? Omega!

"Break her legs!"

“No!No!No! I am Aiden’s sister!”

I tried to explain, but they gagged me.

I struggled desperately, but it only provoked an even more brutal beating.

"If she's so horny, strip her naked and throw her into the boys' restroom," Bella said, standing nearby with her arms crossed.

Tears of despair streamed down my face. Just then, Aiden arrived.

"I'll make every one of you pay for this!" he roared.

“Umm… Is this really what I have to wear?” I asked nervously, picking at my dress.

“Yeah, is there a problem?” Aiden smiled at me. “It’s perfect for the dance that we will be performing later.”

I’ve never worn anything quite this form-fitting… I feel so exposed.

I couldn’t bring myself to tell Aiden what the problem was. “No… No problem at all.”

Aiden looked me over from head to toe. “I think you look great. You’re going to outshine all the other girls at the Moon Goddess Festival!.” He winked at me.

Oh god, did he just wink at me? I’m sure he’s just trying to be friendly… He is my step brother after all.

“Hey, why the frown?” Aiden reached up and smoothed out my furrowed brow with a gentle touch.

I couldn’t help but to blush. I’m not used to being touched by anyone other than my mom..

“I… I’m just nervous for our dance performance later,” I said, turning away and trying to hide my blush.

“You’ll be fine. You practiced harder than anyone I’ve ever known. And our performance starts in…” Aiden paused to check his watch, “...two minutes. We gotta go!”

Aiden placed his hands on my arms and ushered me out of the room. All I could think about was how warm his hands were. It feels like there’s electricity shooting through his hands and into me…

We arrived on stage, just in time for the performance.

The spotlight turned on, nearly blinding me, and the music started playing. Aiden gave a small nod of reassurance, and my feet, having practiced for months now, started moving of their own accord.

Aiden held my waist tightly, his cedarwood scent utterly captivating. I was completely lost in our dance.

All I could hear was the music, until…

Thundering applause filled the hall, jolting me out of my reverie.

“You’re finally back on Earth,” Aiden teased me.

I let out a small laugh. “I’m sorry… I was just lost in the moment.” Dancing was one thing I really enjoyed. And with Aiden, somehow it just felt special.

“You did an amazing job today,” Aiden whispered
