<h4>Chapter 108: 108-My Stepbro Wants To Spank Me</h4>


    <strong>Hnie:</strong>


    "NOOOOO!" as I screamed, I woke myself up. I was sweating and breathing profusely.


    Thankfully, it was just a nightmare but it opened my eyes. I needed to do something before it was toote. I checked the time and it was around 4 a.m., I noticed the lights were out, and both Lamar and Lucy were asleep in their beds. I had slept for many hours, so now I couldn’t go back to sleep again.


    I got out of bed and marched toward the balcony with a sweater in my hand. Once I was outside, I put on the sweater and socks and sat in the chair, facing the view.


    There was a vast sky in my sight, and so many thoughts in my mind.


    "What am I going to do about Kaye? What about this baby?" I closed my eyes as I uttered the scary thoughts to myself.


    "Soon it will bebat ss with Norman, and he’ll surely exhaust me to death. How will I— even get anything done with this baby in my womb?" My heart was full of sorrow and worry. I was beginning to get tired of my life, but I had to keep going. I didn’t want to face the alphas once again.


    "Isn’t it too cold here?" I rolled my eyes when Lamar’s voice reached my ears.


    "You again!" I scoffed under my breath.


    "Yes, me again! You know what? You’re the only one who looks so exhausted at the sight of me," he said, sitting on the chair next to mine.


    "That’s because I don’t understand what these girls see in you," Imented with a side nce at him.


    "That’s cute. They seekfort in me, Hnie," he hunched over and rested his elbows on his thighs. "Whenever they’re upset, they go for a guy who can listen to them."


    Before he could keep going, I interrupted him.


    "And you do that by letting them shove their tongues so deep inside your mouth that they can literally speak to your lungs. I get it," I nodded sarcastically, but he startedughing loudly, pping and stomping his feet as if it was the best joke he had ever heard.


    "Hnie, it’s just a few minutes of talking, and they feel thefort they didn’t get from their mate, so they get way toofortable. And as I just mentioned, I like givingfort, I don’t push them away. I don’t want to make them ufortable," he exined, softening his tone after his antics.


    "I get it that you probably will hate me till yourst breath, and trust me, I understand that. But I really want to mend everything. I don’t want us to be roommates and stay bitter," he had the nerve to suggest we resolve our issues when he was partially a problem that my friends might break up soon.


    "And I won’t make out with Lucy again, I promise," he instantly added, probably because of the side-eye I gave him, with a hand on his chest.


    "I will see what the future holds for us," I mumbled before leaning back in the chair and resting my head.


    He stayed watching my face for a while before he too leaned back, and we just stared at the view in silence.


    Today was once again Emmet’s ss, but he was going to take us out to the mountains and show us the herbs and where most of theme from with finding the herbs.


    I knew the usage of the herbs and the process of finding the rarest ones would be taught by Kaye himself. After a while, I got up and left to go inside. By the time I was in the bathroom, Lucy woke up.


    There were no more words spoken between us while we prepared for school.


    It was only after Lamar left ahead of us that Lucy gently nudged my arm to stop me from getting in the elevator.


    "Please don’t tell Gavin about it," she said. The minute she said that, I sighed and walked into the elevator. I wouldn’t tell him anything. I didn’t want to get between the two, but I wouldn’t lie for her.


    I won’t tell him that I know she didn’t cheat. I’ll just say I don’t know. And I guess I will be doing wrong with that too, but I had too much on my te.


    Everyone had gathered outside the academy, so I joined them too. Gavin looked pretty sad and gloomy, and I wondered if he had felt itst night too. Lucy stood with him, trying to make small talk. Meanwhile, I was standing next to Lucy, trying to avoid noticing them.


    "Hey," I heard a little voice from the other side. "Are you excited for today? I can’t believe we will be reaching the top of the mountains today," Jenny said excitedly, moving her shoulders happily.


    "Yeah, I’m not really a hiker," I replied with a closed-lip smile. What was weird was that the minute Jenny started interacting with me, Lucy left Gavin alone to focus on us.


    "We will hike together, okay?" Lucy intervened, holding my hand to remind me I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere with Jenny.


    Soon, Prof. Emmet arrived wearing a gray shirt with his hair open. He looked like he had jumped out of aic book.


    "I want to be spanked by him so bad," I turned my head to the owner of the voice, and as I expected, it was Salem.


    "Desperate," I hissed at Salem, turning to find Emmet looking straight at me.


    "So, everyone, we should start the hike. Stay together, and I will do the attendance when we reach the top," he said, sidestepping, his t-shirt showing off his muscles better today.


    He always hides his body behind loose shirts and coats, so today everyone got blessed with the outline of his muscles.


    "Hnie! You wille with me," he confidently pointed his finger at me in front of everyone, not shying away from giving me priority.


    I nodded and steadily walked ahead of everyone to him when I saw Sydney and Salem re at me before they started whispering in each other’s ears.


    "Come," Emmet said, gesturing at the others to form groups and start trekking.


    "You look weak, have you been skipping meals?" he inquired, and I shook my head, lying to him.


    "Don’t make me spank you, Hnie!" His words shook me, making me recall Salem’s wish. But it was the way he said it that made me feel the heat in my cheeks.
