106–Ryker Wants To Hurt Me.

Nora:

Since the school attack, I’ve heard students won’t return until the school grounds are fully secure. It’s been two days now. April checked in on me, but still no sign of Natalya.

“I am taking care of myself, don’t worry Brody,” I reassured him again, checking my wounds in the mirror after lifting my shirt a little. I have healed pretty well by now.

“I have been meaning to come meet you but my request for the visit had been denied several times,” he expressed disbelief and I could only roll my eyes because I knew the brothers must have been rejecting his request.

“Send the request again, I will accept it myself this time,” I uttered softly. There hadn’t been a single day when he had not checked on me.

“Great. Then I will come by in the morning,” Brody said and I nodded my head as if I was certain he could see me through my phone.

“Okay then, we will meet tomorrow. Have a good night,” I really want to sit down with him and ask him what else during the attack. I know there was one causality but why the hell did the monster attack the school? I am pretty sure it had not happened before.

‘What’s the plan?‘ Akira noticed my anxiety.

Ever since Ryker rescued me but left without a word, I’ve been restless. I need to talk to him, or I’ll go crazy thinking about him and Natalya. There was only one way to deal with matters like this, and that was to

communicate with each other. Since he didn’t come to the mansion. I

had to make a plan to meet him outside the mansion.

‘Wait until everyone’s asleep. We’ll head to the woods, but I’ll need your help.‘ I paced the room. I don’t know how long I have been trekking from one corner of the room to the other. But it did seem like I have done quite a journey.

‘There might be monsters,‘ I sighed, dreading the dangerous night woods.

I’ve got it. They don’t scare me,‘ Akira chuckled, her strength shining. through

‘Please, be less cocky,‘ I rolled my eyes and sat on the bed.

Tonight, we’d confront Ryker, hoping for answers to ease my mind.

As night fell, just as Akira and I had planned, I leaped out of the window to begin my journey. There was a good chance I’d not find Ryker tonight, so I brought my cellphone. If the call connects, I can let him know I’m in the woods looking for him. After running for a while, I stopped under a big tree and sighed. The night grew colder, and clouds filled the sky. With no reception, I felt foolish. I should have messaged him from the mansion and arranged a meetup.

“Why didn’t I tell him I was coming tonight?” I scoffed, stomping my foot and sighing at the dim darkness ahead.

“I hope you’re talking about me, or I’ll be furious to find my mate wandering the woods to meet someone else,” Ryker’s voice made me jump.

I turned to see him behind the tree, a weapon in hand.

“You scared me,” I said, unsure whether to be happy or angry.

“You don’t seem easily scared, running around the woods like a frantic. rabbit,” he sighed, cleaning the dagger.

I focused on the dagger before returning my attention to him.

“You’ve been watching me?” I put my hands on my hips, pouting.

He didn’t seem guilty, not like someone accused of plotting against another would.

“I did. I wanted to make sure my silly bunny didn’t stumble upon a predator so I joined the journey,” his words carried concern but with a hint of harshness.

“Huh!” I scoffed, noticing his narrowed eyes.

“You came here just to scoff at me?” I raised a brow, his hand resting on the tree.

“I was hoping you’d want to talk things out. But it seems you’re more guilty than embarrassed about what happened.” I dramatically stomped my foot, turning as if to leave. I hoped for at least a call from him, but he stayed put, not even asking me to stay for a chat.

I stopped in my tracks, turning to shake my head disapprovingly. “So, you’re not going to stop me for a conversation?” I asked. When he shrugged, I nodded to myself. “You know what- I hope your

secret affair with Natalya is worth hurting me over.” It was a drastic move to get his attention, and it worked.

After that statement, I turned to leave for real. “Wait a minute!” he called from behind, but I twisted the ring in my finger. Akira didn’t need an explanation; she knew what to do. She sprinted back to the mansion, with Ryker aggressively chasing us.

He didn’t call out to me again, but he chased me to the window of my

mansion. I tried to shut it to keep him out, but he forced it open, making me step back as he entered my bedroom with rage in his eyes.

“What did you accuse me of?” he grunted, his steps approaching. His imposing figure intimidated me, and his shadowy presence blocking the light from the window only heightened my anxiety. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“I said “I began, but fell silent when he got so close that I had to back away, landing on my bed.

I thought to stand up and face him again, but he swiftly got on top of me, pinning my hands to the sides.

“Ryker!” I hissed quietly, struggling beneath him to avoid being heard outside my bedroom..

“Hush!” Ryker hissed back, and I went silent.

“You think I-,” he closed his eyes, searching for the right words, “I’m. seeing your friend behind your back?” he asked with a grunt.

“How else do you explain the skin sample under my closet or your visits to her hostel without me knowing?” I clenched my jaw, and so did he.

“I really want to hurt you right now,” his words stung more than they shocked me.
