367–His Kindness Is Surprising

Nora:

“What the heck are you doing here?” I asked as he waited for me to open the window. In response to my question, he gestured with his hand, signaling me to open the window before he could answer.

“Fine,” I said with a frown, opening the window and stepping aside as he walked into my room, brushing off his long coat.

“Rollo! Do you even know what you’re doing?” I placed my hands on my waist, staring at his face with a look of irritation. He reminded me of the nights Ryker used to sneak in, and I hated being reminded of it.

“I know what I’m doing.” he said, adjusting his collar and then tilting his head as he maintained his intense gaze.

“Brody will be with Janet tonight. She threw a tantrum, and he had to calm her down,” he announced, making me shrug. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“And you thought this news would devastate me, so you came here to check on me? Or did you come to gloat about Brody’s situation?” I faced him with a harsh look, no longer afraid of what I was saying.

“Actually, I did come here to check on you. But not because I thought you’d be upset about Brody not spending time with you,” he said, raising an eyebrow and smirking, which only confused me more.

“Then what brought you here?” I folded my arms across my chest, feeling like he had only come here to bother me.

“Because I knew you’d be upset about not seeing your children tonight,”

he said, causing my posture to waver.

“I’m upset because I fought so hard, thinking I’d finally hold my babies. But instead, I got dragged into some drama to save Brody’s neck,” I shook my head aggressively, realizing that if my babies had not been in Brody’s captivity, I would’ve told the brothers everything. Not because I planned to go back with them, but to seek justice for what I’d endured.

“I get it. It was a strange sight for me too. I’ve never seen Brody worry so much. But that’s what happens whenever he’s around them–he acts completely irrational.” Rollo let out a sight similar to mine.

“But I thought you’d be more upset. I figured you had plans to spend time with your babies,” he said, showing genuine concern, not trying to make me feel worse.

“It’s temporary. The brothers will leave soon, and I’ll get to see my babies. again,” I mumbled softly.

“What if I told you that you don’t have to wait?” he said, raising my eyebrows in surprise.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, excitement creeping into my voice. His words sounded intriguing.

“I can take you to where your babies are. You can feed them and spend time with them. But we’ll need to return before morning, as I’m doing this behind Alpha Brody’s back,” he explained. I was

stunned for a moment. Nobody had ever done something like this for me out of pure kindness in a while.

Lord Atwood used to, but then I made one mistake, and it was all over.

“What do you need in return?” Of course, I wouldn’t just follow him without knowing his intentions.

That s a good question.” He snapped his fingers, sounding a little upset as he answered, “Nothing.”

“Nora, I need nothing,” he repeated with a more stern look this time.

I watched his face for a moment before I nodded vigorously. “Let me grab a sweater.” I quickly threw on a sweater and walked back to him, excited to hold my babies again.

“Let’s go,” he said, leading me out of the window.

It was cold outside, but that wouldn’t stop me from seeing my babies. However, I was surprised by how far Brody had kept them from both the brothers and me. As we walked, I silently followed Rollo, my mind racing with thoughts. If I could gather them all in one place, could I tackle the guards and run away?

But where would I go?

I knew I could survive anywhere now. But if a cluster of monsters attacked me while I was alone with my children, would I fight or protect them? And when I went out to fetch food, who would take care of them?

“You seem lost,” Rollo said, bringing me back to reality. I nodded in agreement.

“I am,” I answered bluntly.

“Thinking about what, may I ask?” he questioned.

“About what my life will be like in the next few years. Will it be just this? Or will I get to have freedom?” I wasn’t afraid of fighting the monsters, but as a mother, I was sometimes fearful of something happening to me.

My kids would be left all alone in this cruel world, just like I once was.
