Nora:

“There’s no need to argue about that. Brody is fully capable of doing whatever he wants. That’s why I was so happy when I heard that he wanted to date Nora. Otherwise, do you think I would have allowed. it?” Lord Atwood spoke to his son, addressing each of them in turn.

Silas was reclining in his chair, the files he was supposed to have ready in his lap, his hands resting on the armrest of the solitary sofa.

“So, that means we have to prove he’s not a capable alpha?” It wasn’t like he was addressing us. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling as he uttered those words. It didn’t sit well with me but I remained silent for

now.

One wouldn’t have heard it if they weren’t looking his way. But I was. And Nash heard it too. Instead of preventing him from doing something like that, Nash nodded slightly before his eyes fell on me and he composed his posture.

“Anyway, the ball is in two days. I hope all the preparations are done,” Lord Atwood changed the subject skillfully.

“Cain, you’re bringing Natalya with you?” As he continued to speak to his son, my skin tingled. I didn’t look very upset because I was trying hard to make it seem like I was over it. But in reality, even the thought. of that cunning snake wearing a gown and dancing with Cain was tearing me apart.

I couldn’t believe she had done it. She not only proved how smart she was but also how foolish I was to trust her.

Lord Atwood then turned to Ryker. “I will be bringing April,” Ryker quickly added, nodding almost as if reminding himself to check his mate’s attitude. That’s when I remembered I would also be taking their enemy to the ball. So maybe that’s what life was going to be now. If only they could discuss the mate bond and what to do about it, I would feel much more at ease. I wouldn’t want to linger around them because of the mate bond for my entire life without Brody having any idea

about it.

Then the servant came to inform us of Brody’s arrival. He walked inside, dressed in a white sweater and black pants, his cheeks and nose red from the cold. It was getting colder outside now.

Lord Atwood instantly got out of his seat to hug him and give him a proper, respectful greeting, but the brothers remained seated. In fact, the way they were scrutinizing him made me uncomfortable. They would casually stare at him and exchange glances, with Ryker particularly avoiding eye contact entirely, his gaze fixed on my shoes. It tried to move my feet to break his stare, but he stubbornly continued. watching my shoes.

“Make sure you take care of my daughter. She means the world to me,” Lord Atwood patted Brody’s back, who bowed as a gesture of obedience before Lord Atwood.

“I will take care of her more than anything and anyone in this world,” Brody declared for me, causing the others to scoff simultaneously.

Their father passed them a bothersome glare, but Brody was unfazed. I liked how his eyes were only on me. He looked my way and smiled widely before coming over and extending his hand. I wanted to get up and greet him, but I had been waiting for this moment.

As I quickly placed my hand in his, I felt the energy in the room shift. With not much left to do in the mansion, Brody held my hand and led

me towards the exit.

“Did I tell you that you look smoking hot today?” he whispered in my ear as he opened the car door for me, and I was about to slide inside. A smile formed on my face as I settled comfortably in his car.

He hurried to the other side, joined me, and started driving towards a specific location.

“But where are we going?” I didn’t like being kept in suspense. I was always curious, so whenever someone took their time to tell me what was going on, I would get anxious.

“Just a little wait, Miss Curious Cat!” he joked, taking a broad turn and eventually arriving at a large building. The area surrounding it was breathtaking, with lush greenery and mountains in sight. At this point, I had a feeling of where he had brought us.

“Wait! This is your apartment, isn’t it?” I exclaimed, clapping my hands. I was excited to see his apartment and have a change of place.

“I just wanted to get away from my mates for a while. I needed that to calm my wolf down. Whenever Natalya or April visit the brothers, I’ll ask Brody to bring me here.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“This is our apartment,” Brody held up the key for me, causing me to frown. Hearing him call it ‘our apartment‘ made me sigh secretly. I have never imagined myself to be with someone who wasn’t my fated

mate.

“I know you don’t like April and Natalya, and there’s a good reason why. So, whenever you’re bored or they’re at our place, you can come here and hang around, even if I’m not in the pack,” he said sweetly. I couldn’t believe he had read my mind and offered me a key to his

apartment.

“But I’m a very messy person, Brody!” I complained, almost tempted to grab the key out of his hands.

“That’s fine. I can cook and clean. So don’t worry, just leave the

apartment as it is when you’re done staying here,” he said with a smile, and finally, I had to accept the key.

“Brody! This is the happiest I’ve been in the last few weeks.” tears broke down that I had held in for weeks. I hated crying in front of others, but recent events had made me so lonely that I wished for a shoulder to cry on and someone to rely on for comfort.

And sure enough, Brody provided that.
