Mated to my Stepbrother

2. MINE

He picks up his fork and stabs a big jab at my chocolaty, gooey brownie. He brings it up to his lips and takes a huge bite.

"You're really not going to eat that?" He says as he's chewing with his mouthful.

"No. You're making me mad so I lost my appetite."

He quirked up an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh really, How so?"

"Cause I wanted to eat with my new friend today, and you've forced us to sit here throughout my entire high school life!" I pouted.

"It's only been one and a half years Sky."

Ugh, it's so annoying. Since my first day in high school he's made me sit in this table full of our pack mates. Don't get me wrong, the people in this table are pretty cool, but I practically had to beg him to let Hazel sit next to me. Luckily, he allowed it and now Hazel sits on my right while Jackson sits on my left. Jackson turns the other way to talk to some of his friends and I took the chance to talk to Hazel.

"He's so overbearing." I whisper to her.

"Honestly I don't mind."

"You're only saying that cause you're scared of him."

"No...he ain't that scary." She hesitates.

Poor Hazel got snarled at by Jackson one morning when she tried to visit me when I was sick last year. The idiot told me he accidentally showed his canines to her. I knew she'd be confused because she was human but she was my best friend and couldn't keep it from her. So I told her about us being werewolf's, she was shocked but took it surprisingly well. It's just that she seems more scared of Jackson than anything.

" He's only naturally being overprotective as an older brother." Hazel tried to convince as she took crisp bite into a fresh red apple.

"Okay, but even that usually ends to an extent." I sighed.

I gave up and started eating. It was a weird green patchy veggie patty. I reluctantly took it on my fork and bring it to my mouth. Why do we even have veggie burgers anyways. I took a small bite. Not half bad! Suddenly I overhear Jack and his friends planning out a party that's happening tomorrow.

"You guys are going to a party tomorrow?!" I butt in. Leaning towards the left side of the table, where Jack was facing.

"Yep! And it's at your house." Caleb, one of Jack's friends, grins at me.

"Ooh is it gonna be big?" Hazel leans in towards the conversation.

"Obviously! It's Jackson's birthday for Christ sake!"

"And we gotta invite lotsa people...you know....to find his mate." Another one of his friends, Lelan, fake-whispers the last part across the table to us.

"Really!? I can't wait!"

"Yeah same. Only thing is.. you're going to be at Hazel's place that day." Jackson says awkwardly, while rubbing the back of his neck.

Huh? What's he mean? "What? No I'm not?!"

"Yeah you are. I'm not letting you in the party, it's going to be too much for you, plus there will be a lot of people you don't know."

"So? It's only people from the pack right?!"  I know my tone was getting harsher but I was seriously starting to getting pissed.

"......" Nobody answered.

Are they really serious!?! He's using our parents being out of town to let a bunch of humans mingle in with our pack members!  Who knows what would happen if one of our wolfs shift and cause a uproar, it's dangerous! There is also only a rare chance that a human is a werewolf's mate. They should know this shouldn't they?? Unless... if Jackson already had someone in mind..
