409–The Danger Behind The Brothers

Nora:

Nash’s eyes bore deeply into mine, making my heart skip a beat. The moment that happened, I knew I had to step back and away from him. I didn’t want to return to my state of being miserable and helpless.

“Ugh!” I lowered my head and pushed him away. “I am someone else’s mate now.”

I didn’t even glance into his eyes. That was how much he could affect me with his proximity. At least I realized it now. Therefore, I would be careful enough not to let him come any closer to me again.

“Anyway,” with my hand on his hard chest, I slowly pushed him to the side instead of making a rapid motion and then stepped closer to the door again. She was still weeping.

“You can go if you have nothing else to do. I will handle this matter on my own.” I didn’t turn around to answer him, but I expected him to leave.

What I didn’t know was that all the brothers had decided to join us.

“How can we help?” I heard Silas ask, and my body spun to see three handsome men standing together. They looked determined, so much so that Nash stepped out from behind me to look at them.

I had expected Cain to avoid showing his face after I had upset him, but here he was, standing tall and looking angrier than ever.

“Ummm, start by–protecting Daphne,” I uttered with difficulty. Why on

earth were they all in my space?

“Sure!” Ryker tilted his head, causing my heart to skip a beat.

They looked awfully satisfied with what they were doing. One by one, they began to approach me, so I stepped back but ended up bumping into Nash’s hard chest.

“Ohh! Don’t be all rubby–rubby,” I heard Nash say in the discreett tone. He rubbed his hand on his chest, smirking at me.

“What the heck! There’s a girl who is in danger, and you all are—” I paused as Cain finished the sentence for me.

“Horny? Absolutely not; I guess we are just really happy to help you.” His tone was full of sarcasm, but a hidden determination could be heard in his

voice.

“Okay! Then don’t surround me; surround the mansion to make sure nobody—nobody gets inside.” With a big gulp running down my throat, I gestured for them to scatter away.

“Aye!” Silas gave me a salute of obedience and then turned around to

leave with his brothers.

“And you–stop acting weird around her,” I heard Cain complain to Nash, even slapping his chest.

“Don’t touch me there; it’s a sacred area,” Nash uttered as he pointed at his chest that I had touched, making me roll my eyes at his comment. Soon, they had left the mansion to stand guard while I remained outside her door.

“I don’t like it when he goes away from me,” I heard Daphne say. With the brothers leaving, at least I got to pay full attention to her again.

“I feel like–hurting everyone,” she must have been having a difficult time speaking because her voice came out all muffled.

“I want that sadness gone; sadness is such a killer-” she continued to cry, and I felt the area around the room grow colder and colder. I reached for the window and looked outside again.

The brothers had arrived outside, but weirdly enough, they were all clustered in one area. I rolled my eyes hard; of course, they wouldn’t follow the directions.

Being alpha kings made it so hard for them to obey simple orders. They always wanted to be in charge of the situation and wouldn’t listen to others‘ directions, not even once.

I watched them stand in a circle, talking about something important. My body flinched because I had a growing suspicion that they were discussing me.

Why weren’t they leaving me alone?

Were they even interested in this case like I was? Or was I the main case they wanted to solve?

“To think they wanted us gone like anything, but now they are desperate to get us back just confuses me so much,” Akira was not wrong. That bothered me as well.

Then, my eyes landed behind them. As Daphne’s cries grew louder, her sadness became the problem.

I watched a weird fog appear behind the brothers. They were so consumed in their gossip that they didn’t even realize what was happening right under their noses.

But I was watching it all.

Slowly and steadily, the fog grew, turning into a shape and then multiple shapes. I recognized the forms; I had encountered them before.

They gathered behind the brothers–the fog people.

“There they are-” I smirked, “the weeping guardians.”

Oh! I had no idea I would feel so good for being so right about this.

Now I just had to wait and watch one more thing.
