Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates

Tasting 63

63–Something Fishy

Nora:

“What?” she almost whispered into my ear from the other side. I could tell she was terrified by what I was asking of her, and I was worried for her myself. But the brothers just stared at me, waiting for me to get Natalya here.

“Um, don’t tell anyone, but we kind of got into trouble. Lord Atwood got taken away by the monsters, and the brothers think–” Before I could finish, Nash snatched the phone out of my hands and put it against his ear. I didn’t mind. Honestly, it was better that he brought her here because I was having such a difficult time telling her to come.

Nash steadily walked away while talking to her and filling her in on the happenings.

“Are you really jealous of your friend’s abilities?” Silas scoffed, making a joke out of my concern for Natalya.

“No! Why would I be? She’s my friend. If anything, I’m worried,” I sounded offended, and that gave Silas pleasure, as he smirked at himself for getting under my skin.

“Such a friend you are. You know she’s much more powerful than you are, right? If anything, you should be worried about your own safety. She’ll be fine here,” he clicked his tongue and looked around until his eyes fell on Cain.

“Are you done?” Cain asked him in his tough tone.

I don’t know what’s been happening, but Cain had been acting really

mature unlike the others. Maybe he truly was finally coming around.

“Someone is hurt,” Silas commented before he went silent as Nash returned.

“I’ll go get her. I told her to stay prepared,” Nash informed, handing me my phone back. I took it but wondered what would happen when she comes here and is unable to transition.

“Just so you know, her wolf–” I tried to remind them not to have too many hopes but also not to judge her because her wolf does whatever she pleases, but Nash’s grunt silenced me.

Ryker had been really lost this whole time. He was constantly checking the GPS and then looking around, vaguely passing me a glance before stealing his eyes away.

After some time had passed, Ryker straightened his back and approached me. We were sitting on the ground, or at least I was, waiting for Natalya to appear with Nash.

“Give me your phone?” Ryker asked, stretching his hand out to me.

“Why?” I questioned.

“We’ll be heading into the deep woods, the signals will be down. So let me keep your phone,” Ryker insisted, but I shook my head.

“I’ll use it as a flashlight,” I said, watching him stare at my face before sharing a glance with Cain.

Things have progressed rather weirdly ever since Nash left. The brothers kept exchanging glances as if they didn’t want me to know what they were up to.

“I think we should take her home then,” Ryker said, speaking directly

to Cain, who nodded a little.

“I think so too. The night is upon us, and we will be using our senses and strength to follow Dad’s scent,” Cain agreed with Ryker, but I was not okay with it.

“I don’t want to leave. Natalya will be here,” I hesitantly got up, watching Silas, who was leaning against the tree, staring at the sky. Then I looked at Cain, who was sitting on a big tree branch, his legs dangling on the ground. Finally, I looked over at Ryker, who stood facing me.

“She can take care of herself,” Ryker uttered.

“But what if her wolf doesn’t wake up?” I asked, and Ryker stretched his neck back, staring at the sky as if he was exhausted by my questioning.

“Nora! Then we’ll be here with her. Do you think we’re not aware of the fact that there’s a high chance her wolf wouldn’t even come out? We’re here for it,” he finally looked down and said in a calming tone.

“But–” I looked at them one by one again.

“Nora! We can’t take this pressure on us anymore. Our dad needs us, you understand that, right?” Cain got on his feet and approached me, standing next to his brother.

Wow, the two were really tall and handsome, each breathtaking.

“I guess,” I cursed under my breath so that nobody hears it.

“Please take care of Natalya,” I said to Cain directly, and Ryker frowned, cocking his head to look at his brother, who gave me a comforting and reassuring nod.

“I’ll be coming with you anyway,” it was Cain who said that.

Ryker was silently examining our expressions, making me feel uncomfortable, but what can I do? I had to leave with Cain.

“Can you tell them to take care of Natalya?” I stopped when I had only taken a few steps to request Cain, who turned to his brothers and watched them look back at him.

“Guys! Natalya, make sure she’s safe, okay?” he confirmed, and the others only nodded.

Even when I walked away, I felt like Ryker was still watching me. By the time we were in Cain’s car, I felt really anxious and worried for Natalya.

“You worry too much,” Cain said.

I noticed how s*xy he looked when holding the steering wheel with one hand while he stretched the other arm behind my seat comfortably. It wasn’t his way of showing me affection, it was just his habit.

“It’s not a bad personality trait, but it can make you sick at times. Natalya will be fine. She has three alpha kings with her, don’t worry,” Cain’s soothing voice was enough for me to believe they would look after her fine. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

We arrived home, and I went straight to my bedroom to take a shower. I had this weird feeling in my body, not anything s*xual but something that made me feel like I shouldn’t have returned.

Even when I was under the shower, I couldn’t help but repeat the entire day in my head, and then I finally decided to let my wolf speak to me.

I twisted the ring on my finger to hear her out, and the very first thing she said made my body numb, “We should not have listened to the

brothers.”
