Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342 

KESTER. 

PRESENT. 

After the tragic incident that took place two days ago, I had become the villain to my pack members. Everyone suspected me. And of course, I’d have suspected me, too, if I were to be in their shoes. 

Now, I had to sit here and listen to the council members ramble on about the incident, tossing around theories and speculations, while I waited quietly like a lamb whose fate was being decided at the slaughter. 

All these weren’t really so much of a concern to me at the moment. My only concern was the fact that Kasmine thought I lied to her. She hadn’t even let me anywhere close to her room for the past two days now. 

Mum even told me she was sick yesterday Pregnancy stuff, I guess. She called in the family doctor and handled everything without telling me until it was over. 

That didn’t sit right with me. 

The amount of time Kasmine was being exposed to Mum recently made me fucking worry. And when she’s in that vulnerable, emotional state, she listens too easily. She absorbs things she shouldn’t. Mum knows exactly how to play people like her, especially when she’s hurt and unsure. 

And especially now that she thinks that I killed Blaine. The last thing I needed was for Kasmine to take a decision she 

couldn’t walk back from. 

“Alpha Kester?” A voice called, making me realize I had zoned out briefly, “What do you have to say about this?” 

All twenty–three pairs of eyes were on me, waiting for me to defend myself. 

I cleared my throat and adjusted in my seat, scanning the wide hall before speaking. 

“You all certainly think I am a coward,” I began, doing all I could to hide the disgust I felt, “You’ve already tried and 

sentenced me in your minds.” 

“I’ve ruled this pack for years. Many of you watched me grow. You knew me when I was a boy, you fought beside me when I became Alpha.” I paused, taking in their expressions. “Now tell me, in all those years, have I ever struck you as a man who would choose the coward’s way of taking down an enemy? Am I one who hides behind others to get his hands dirty?” 

I let the question sink in, narrowing my eyes.
