Nora:

“Calm down; you will be fine,” Cain rolled his eyes at Carla before stepping away to move closer to me.

Carla had been crying nonstop ever since she saw those weeping

guardians. It was amusing how quickly she turned her back on Daphne at the sight of trouble. She desperately wanted to support her story until she realized the danger of standing with a victim.

Daphne, however, had remained silent throughout this ordeal. She looked puzzled, sad, and a mix of guilt.

“You knew this would happen,” Cain whispered, folding his arms over his chest and leaning against the wall, his gaze fixed on me.

“A little fun can’t harm anyone,” I commented with a shrug, my eyes on Carla as she subtly inched closer to Silas on the couch.

My expression hardened when Silas shot Ryker a look of disbelief and attempted to get up. That was when Carla threw herself at him, shocking

everyone.

“I’m so scared,” she screamed. Her fingers clutched Silas’s hoodie, pulling him closer, but it was evident he wanted to escape her grip.

Soon, she rested her face against his hoodie and cried on his chest. An uncomfortable silence thickened the air as we all stood like statues, watching the awkward scene unfold. Lord Atwood gently patted her head, seeking a way to rescue his frightened son,

“My dear child, the weeping guardians only target someone when they

catch them alone.” The moment he said that, Carla sniffled and lifted her

head.

That’s when Silas rose to his feet and jumped away from her.

“What the heck is her problem?” Silas mouthed to Cain, who then glanced over at Ryker, making direct eye contact with Nash afterward. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

I knew in that moment they were up to something. Whenever the brothers shared a deep gaze, they either discovered something significant or concocted a plan.

“Really? So does that mean I’m fine?” Carla sniffled, quickly turning to her left to look for Silas, disappointment etched on her face when she realized he had already moved away from her.

“Yes, you’re fine,” Lord Atwood confirmed. She let out a deep sigh of relief before glancing around. “I think I need some fresh air. Dear Lord Atwood, would you be kind enough to ask your son Alpha King Silas, if, of course, he doesn’t have a problem, to take me out for a car ride? Actually, my brother always does that for me. He takes me and my rabbit out for a ride,” she fluttered her eyelashes frequently, practically demanding Lord Atwood to make Silas take her out.

I couldn’t help but narrow my eyes at her. What a cunning witch!

“Um, sure,” Lord Atwood replied. Now that she had directly requested something, how could he say no?

By shaking his head, perhaps, but that’s a discussion for another day,

“Silas!” Lord Atwood walked away to search for Silas, who had left with the brothers after they exchanged an eerie glance. I knew they had gone to discuss something.

Now that it was just the two of us, with Daphne sitting far away from us,

her head bowed, I watched Carla get up and walk over to me. The puffiness of her eyes screamed that she had been crying a lot.

“Nice try,” she hissed.

“You wanted to hurt me or worry me, didn’t you?” There was so much animosity in her voice, even though she had no reason to hate me. Initially, she despised me because Brody had brought me to the pack with the intention of marrying me, but now that was far from the truth. We could never get married, nor would I ever fall for him.

Yet, her anger never faded. Even when I could see her casting glances at Silas, she continued to direct her aggression toward me.

“You are delusional. I gave you a chance to prove yourself useful, but you couldn’t even do that.” With that, I folded my arms over my chest and rolled my eyes.

“Be careful what you ask for, Nora. I’m not someone you can toy with. Don’t forget, if I call my and tell him how you planned to make

brothe me the victim of the weeping guardians-” she paused, knowing she had captured my attention now.

“Then he will be merciless too,” she leaned in closer and whispered those words, causing my body to flinch.

“And the day your brother harms my children, Carla, I will fucking burn the Silver Jaw’s pack to dust,” I hissed back. “So be very careful.”

My threat didn’t change the smirk on her face. This was what she wanted from me–a reaction!

“Awe! Seems like I scared you. Don’t worry, I’m not so heartless. Especially when I’ve moved on,” she shrugged and stepped back. Just when I thought it was over.

I was a fool not to understand who she had moved on to. It wasn’t a new story; any girl who sees my damn mates gets thirsty for them. However, I knew Silas would never pay attention to someone like her.

That’s when Lord Atwood returned, and I smiled. Now Carla would taste rejection and realize not to mess with me.

“My dear, my son said he will take you out for a ride and even for dinner afterward. Go get ready,” he announced. This was unexpected. It felt as if someone had punched my heart once again. That

kind of feeling hadn’t surfaced in so long, and it was incredibly bitter.

How thirsty and desperate was Silas?
