Chapter 285 

KASMINE. 

I would be doomed to go to the office today. I was certain the news of me being mated to my stepbrother would have saturated the 

town. 

I stayed curled up in the bed, wrapped in the illusion of safety that the blankets barely provided. 

Kester had carried me here last night while I was still half–asleep. And by the time I woke up a few minutes ago, I feind out that all my necessities had been moved into his room. 

My phone rang on the nightstand. 

I turned sluggishly, already dreading whoever it was 

– 

-but when I saw the screen, my heart dropped straight into my stomach. 

It was Mum. 

She hadn’t called or texted all night when we left the pack. A part of me was scared and worried. Another part… maybe, deep down, had hoped she would just leave me be. But right now, I didn’t know if I should feel relieved or even more scared. 

I swiped to answer, forcing my dry throat to work. 

“Mum?” I croaked. 

There was a beat of silence, then a deep sigh, before she spoke, “Kasmine. Where are you? 

The tone in which she asked made my heart thunder. This wasn’t good. She sounded too calm. My heart pounded. 

This wasn’t good. This was the kind of quiet that comes when anger burns so hot it turns cold. 

“I… I’m at home, Mum,” I whispered. 

“Good,” she said in a clipped voice. “Now listen carefully. Kester must have gone to the office already, hasn’t he?” 

I hesitated, the air squeezing out of my lungs, before nodding, even though she couldn’t see me. “Yes, Mum. He has. 

“Good. Now, pack your bags and come back home immediately. We’ll figure this out together. Do that right away,” She ordered. 

I was quiet, contemplating my options. 

Kester would rain down fire if I left. And… Do I really want to leave? 

God, I was confused. 

“Kasmine?” Mum barked, snapping me out of my spiral. 

“Mum, I can’t,” I said before I could stop myself, 

What? Why?” She hissed. 

‘I’m sorry, Mum. I have to sort things out with Kester before…” 

“No!” she cut me off, “No, Kasmine. You listen to me-

She paused. The next words she spoke crushed what little breath I had left. 

“I’ll get a divorce, Kasmine,‘ she said coldly. “If you don’t stop this madness, I’ll divorce your father.” 

I sat up so fast the blanket tangled around my legs, heart thundering against my ribs. 

“Mum? Why would you say that?” 

“I can’t stand the shame anymore. I’ve become a laughingstock in the pack. Do you understand that?” Her voice cracked with hot- white humiliation, “The pack members are beginning to form a protest, especially one led by Blaine, the one whom we forced to reject his step–cousin when she got her wolf.” Mum explained, and wear, I just wanted to die already. 

I pressed my hand to my mouth, a raw sob slipping through my fingers. 

I was tired. 

So tired of fighting a battle that I didn’t know how to win. 

I felt trapped between a family that was gradually beginning to hate me, a mate who scared me, and a future that seemed like a 

storm ready to tear me apart. 

Even if I wanted to do as she said, what about my baby? I was already coming to terms with my pregnancy. I was scared of having 

an abortion. I didn’t want to die. 

But this pregnancy would further prove to people that I and my brother had been having a secret affair even before we were mated. 

This is all messed up. 

“Blaine says we don’t get to be exceptions when things like this occur. Kasmine, baby, I spearheaded the rejection between those two that night. Please, don’t do this to me. Come back home to Mum Please,” Her voice broke, and a sob followed. 

“Mum…” 

“Listen. Kester is not good for you. Even if he weren’t your stepbrother, I still wouldn’t want my daughter with a man like Kester. He’s- Her words came fast like they were being chased out of her. “You have to believe me. Please.” 

My brows narrowed, “How could you say that about him? He is your stepson, Mum,” I couldn’t hide my disappointment and the sting of betrayal I felt. 

“I know,” she choked. “He’s a son to me. That’s exactly why I know hes wrong for you, baby. Kester has done terrible things. Things I can’t even say over the phone. I’ve watched him hurt people with a straight face and sleep like a baby after. Don’t mistake his calmness for gentleness. He’ll hurt you, Kasmine. I know he will.” 

A chill prickled down my spine. Her words weren’t far off from what I’d discovered about him. 

“He might seem so sweet and innocent right now, but he won’t be able to keep up for long. The real beast in him will surface, and I am worried about you, my sweet child. Please come home to Mum.” 

My heart splintered as I listened to her sob. 

“After your father did you remember how shattered I was. But when I met Kade, I found light again. I rebuilt everything I lost. I can’t lose that again… not because of a single, cruel mistake made by the Moon Goddess.” 

Her words were ripping me open, and I felt exhausted to be the center of the entire drama going on. 

“Mum… I’ll come home and see you briefly just before Kester returns Stop crying and pull yourself together. We’ll sort this out.

Okay?” 

I hated the fact that she broke down this much. The last time she cried this way was when we lost Dad. She’d been so happy over the years now that I felt guiltyeing the one about to take away that happiness. 

A breath of relief gusted through the line, “Okay, baby. I’ll be waiting I’ll… thank you.” 

She ended the call. 

I quickly took a shower. By the time I stepped out of the bathroom, fully dressed. 

was 10:00 AM sharp. In less than five minutes, I was already 

If I left before 10:30, I’d get to the pack house by 1:30 at the latest. d stay until three or four, just enough time to calm her down… and return home before Kester even knew I was gone. 

And hopefully, the visit will be profitable… 

My thoughts halted when the door to Kester’s room flung open, and when I looked up to see who it was, my throat instantly dried. 

Bitter eyes full of venom, and a smirk that could sour milk. 

“Long time no see, cheap bitch.” 

This was surely not the right time to have such a visitor.

My Stepbrother

Synopsis : My Stepbrother

Kasmine’s world shattered the night she witnessed her stepbrother, Kester Hamilton—the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack—murder an innocent man in cold blood. What began as a normal evening in the woods turned into a nightmare that would haunt her forever. The man Kester killed was no threat; he had only been talking to Kasmine. Yet Kester justified the murder by claiming the man tried to force himself on her.

Trembling and terrified, Kasmine confronted him, refusing to believe his twisted explanation. But Kester’s demeanor remained disturbingly calm. He didn’t show an ounce of remorse. Instead, he scolded her for being dramatic and tried to drag her back to the party, as if nothing had happened. When she resisted, he unleashed his Alpha command—a power no wolf could defy. Under his control, Kasmine’s will crumbled, and she obeyed him like a puppet.

As she returned to the party—ironically, Kester’s girlfriend’s birthday celebration—Kasmine’s heart broke. The brother who once protected her now scared her more than anyone else.

Her mind drifted back to her childhood, to the days when Kester had been her hero. After her father’s death, her mother remarried Alpha Kade Hamilton, Kester’s father. At the time, Kester was fourteen and Kasmine was only seven. He took her under his wing, treating her like a precious little sister. He brought her gifts, defended her from bullies, and made her feel safe. To everyone around them, Kester was the perfect big brother.

But as Kasmine grew older, that “protectiveness” became something else—something dark and possessive. By the time she turned sixteen, Kester had started isolating her from others. He didn’t allow her to have male friends, and even her time with female friends was limited. He wanted her attention, her trust, and her presence—all to himself. It became suffocating.

Now, at twenty years old, Kasmine had no boyfriend and barely any social life. Every time she tried to rebel, Kester reminded her that she should wait for her fated mate when she turned twenty-one and got her wolf. Her parents saw his control as love and protection, never suspecting how toxic and obsessive it had become.

After witnessing the murder, Kasmine was emotionally destroyed. She couldn’t eat, sleep, or think straight. The image of the lifeless man haunted her. Luckily, she only had to see Kester on weekends, since he was busy running both his pack and his billion-dollar company—Zamford Technologies. But even from a distance, his control continued. He had bugged her phone and laptop, monitoring every message and call. There was no escaping his watchful eyes.

Trying to focus on her studies, Kasmine pushed herself to attend her final year of college. She was preparing for her internship, and for once, she felt hopeful. She had submitted three company choices, deliberately avoiding Zamford Technologies to stay away from Kester. Her best friend, Jake—a guy she secretly liked—had applied to the same companies. She dreamed of being placed in the same one as him. Maybe then, away from Kester’s shadow, she could experience normal life, maybe even love.

That morning, she rushed to campus, still hopeful about the internship results. At the school entrance, she met her best friend, Claire, who looked visibly upset. Claire confessed she had been posted to J&F Technologies. Her disappointment wasn’t about the company—it was about Kester. Claire had nursed a crush on him for years and had listed Zamford Technologies in hopes of working near him. But her wish had failed, and she’d lost her chance.

Trying to comfort her, Kasmine asked about her own posting. Strangely, Claire didn’t answer, avoiding her eyes. Confused but impatient, Kasmine dragged her to the information board. Her heart raced as she scanned the list, looking first for Jake’s name. He was placed at Plush Technologies—one of the options they’d chosen together.

Excited, she searched for her name next, praying to see it under the same company. But her excitement quickly turned to dread. Her hands trembled. Her breath caught in her throat. There, beside her name, was written: Zamford Technologies.

The world seemed to tilt around her.

It couldn’t be real. There had to be some mistake. How could she, of all people, end up at her stepbrother’s company—the very place she’d tried hardest to avoid? Panic rose in her chest as the realization sank in. Kester must have done this. Somehow, he had found a way to manipulate her placement, ensuring that even in her professional life, she couldn’t escape his grasp.

Her mind flashed back to his piercing green eyes, his dominating voice, the way he’d ordered her around after committing murder without remorse. Now, he would have full control over her again—for hours every day. There would be no hiding, no breathing space.

As she stood frozen before the board, Kasmine felt her fragile hope for freedom crumble. She had spent years yearning for the day she could make her own choices—turn twenty-one, find her fated mate, and escape Kester’s suffocating hold. But now, destiny—or rather, Kester’s manipulation—had pulled her right back into his world.

And deep down, she feared that this time, she might not make it out alive.

Themes and Tone:
“The Alpha’s Obsession” explores the darkness behind overprotective love, the trauma of control disguised as care, and the pain of being trapped by someone who claims to love you. The tone is tense, emotional, and suspenseful, building a deep sense of dread as Kasmine realizes that every path she takes leads her back to the same monster she once called “brother.”
