My Sister Stole My Mate And I Let Her (Seraphina) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Chapter 10 DANGEROUS COMBINATION

KIERAN’S POV

"No, Celeste, thumb over knuckle," Ethan reiterated for the fifth time, adjusting his sister’s fist. "If you punch like that, you’ll break your fingers."

Celeste huffed, her lips forming into a pout. "Whatever, I still don’t know why I even have to do this."

Ethan exhaled and exchanged a mildly exasperated look with me. "We’ve been over this before. With all the attacks on the pack, you have to get stronger. I indulged you in the past when you refused to train, but not anymore. We even came here to train in neutral territory so you wouldn’t feel inferior to other pack members."

Celeste rolled her eyes. "I don’t care. Training sucks. And I have you two strong Alphas to protect me anyway."

"Babe," I said, stepping forward. "You know Ethan and I will always protect you, but it’s good for you to at least be able to hold your own in the event of the worst-case scenario."

She sighed and stepped towards me. "But you mean it, right?" She looked up at me with her gorgeous blue eyes. "You’ll always be there to protect me?"

I kissed her hair. She’d come back to me, and I’d be damned if I ever let anything happen to her. "Always."

"Okay, okay," Ethan clapped his hands, drawing our attention back to him. "If we can just get your stance right, Celeste, we can move on. We can’t spend all day here."

"Right." She held up a fist, the thumb tucked inside her palm. "Like this?"

Ethan clenched his jaw, and I pressed my mouth together to stifle my amusement.

I moved across the room and leaned against the glass door dividing the training rooms.

"Stop, stop!"

My ears pricked, and I turned toward the glass door. The female voice on the other side of the glass door sounded familiar.

Whoever was in the adjoining training room had been going hard at it since we arrived, but this was the first time I heard a voice.

I heard a muffled male voice speak. The reply from the female was equal parts sharp and exhausted.

I knew the strangers next door were none of my business, but for some reason, I couldn’t pull my attention away.

The female voice sounded so, so familiar.

"At least Sera’s lucky," Celeste grumbled as Ethan corrected her stance. "Nobody’s ever going to force a wolfless werewolf to train."

My eyes widened as everything clicked into place. It couldn’t possibly be, but...

I slid the glass door open, and—rage, potent unlike anything I’d ever felt before, slammed into me with staggering force.

Sera was lying spread-eagled on her back, and above her, his head so close to hers, like he was about to kiss her, was a stranger. No, not a stranger—the man who had saved her at Edward’s funeral.

"What the fuck!" The words tore out of me before I even registered them.

Sera immediately shot up, her head bumping into the man’s nose.

"Ow!"

He cupped her face, and impossibly, the rage doubled. They were both drenched in sweat, and their scents mingled in the air. Ashar growled, and I felt every muscle in my body tense.

Celeste turned to me, and her eyes widened with shock.

The bastard’s hand was still cupping her face, and I had the sudden, jarring urge to rip his heart out.

I had no idea why I was feeling this way, especially when the love of my life was a mere two feet away.

Sera’s shocked expression quickly faded, replaced with that chilly countenance she’d picked up since the funeral that was really starting to piss me off.

"Kie?" Celeste’s hand on my back should have loosened the tension in my muscles, but instead, they tightened even more.

"What’s wro—"

I didn’t turn to her, but I saw in Sera’s face the moment Celeste noticed her.

The man stood, finally taking his hand off Sera’s face. But immediately, he held a hand out to her, which she took without hesitation, turning her gaze away from us. I ground my teeth hard as he pulled her up.

"Thanks," she smiled at him.

"Why are both of you—" Ethan, too, stopped in his tracks when he saw his other sister.

Sera’s sigh was unbothered, mildly annoyed, as if a bunch of neighborhood dogs had come skipping into her manicured lawn. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I’m going to hit the showers," she said to the man, ignoring all of us altogether.

He braced his hand on her arm, and I had to grip the edge of the glass door to stop myself from flying across the room and ripping his hand off her and then off his body.

"Is that what we’re doing now?" Ethan’s cutting voice stalled their steps. "You’re not even going to spare your family a greeting?"

Sera turned back to us with a sardonic laugh. "Family?" She pointed to me, and for some reason, my breath hitched. "He’s not my family anymore." Her finger slid from me and waggled between Celeste and Ethan. "And you two never really were to begin with."
