Nora’s POV“Miss Nora, noodles or pasta?” the chef asked."Milk,” I announced. The chef chuckled. Maybe that was a bit too cheerful, which earned me another look from the chef. I laughed nervously. My cheeks were now the shade of a fire truck. Now, this was embarrassing.“Dylan was the best graduate in his class,” I said."Oh, now I see,” she smiled. I searched her face to know if she bought it, but it looked like she didn’t care. I was in a good mood, but I couldn’t tell why.The rest of the cooking was done in absolute silence. Well, except for when she had to ask about certain things about the food. Of which my voice was super low. I asked the chef to leave the food on the kitchen table and go have some rest.“Dylan!” I yelled as I placed the food on the dining table. As I took a seat, I realized that Dylan was not yet down."Dylan, don’t make me come up there!”"Coming, mom!” he said. He must be nestled in front of the video game. I knew Michael was spoiling him. He literally gave
Nora’s POVAs I stood there, my feet weighed a ton. Finally, I dragged myself upstairs and went to the bathroom.“Get a grip, Nora,” I muttered as I stared into the mirror. My mind raced. What would Michael say? Would he scold me? Ask me to leave the pack.I sighed and walked out of the bathroom and to the front of my room. As I walked to Michael’s door, I had sweat on my palms, and there was this dull ache in the pit of my stomach.I came face-to-face in front of his door. I didn’t know how long I stood there, like I had been glued to the ground like a candle.I raised my hand to the door, and it was yanked open. It was Michael. A gasp left my mouth, but Michael just stood there. We locked eyes. There was no expression on his face. I had nothing to cling to. Michael was indeed a mystery.“Come on in, don’t just stand there,” a slight frown marred his beautiful features as he moved aside. I took in a deep breath and walked straight in. There. I have just walked right into the lion’s d
Michael’s POV“So what happened with the night crawlers, huh?" Hercules shook Zen like a little child, wanting answers. They were in my study, sorting through papers for packs that were affiliated with the night crawlers.“Let me be Herc; it’s not my fault you always fall asleep when the party is about to start,” Zen laughed, pushing his hands away."Idiot,” Hercules said, and he hit him on the arm and moved away.“Wait till I get you,” Zen said while trying to retaliate, but he missed. That attracted a round of laughter from Hercules. And that was how they ran around my office like little children. And there I was writing a memo to the court of the werewolves. I was telling them that if they were to see any night crawlers, they should be killed immediately.One of them came last night and began to fight, and I tore him apart. Yesterday was a full moon. The others came in the morning, and we took them prisoners, but Zeus, their leader, escaped.“Can you guys keep it down for a moment?
Michael’s POVI walked straight into the house, and in the process, I bumped into someone."Oh, sorry about that.” I patted her back. I didn’t care to stare into her face. To know who I had almost knocked over in my quiet rage. All I wanted was to leave and go somewhere else.“Your highness?” I turned back to find it was the maid from earlier.“I’m sorry,” I said, giving her a small smile.“It’s alright, your highness.” She smiled, revealing some white teeth. She leaned in and batted her eyelids.“Have you seen her?” She asked.“Her? Who?” I asked. What was she talking about?"Have you seen her, I mean Miss Nora?” she asked"Oh, oh yes, I just did. Thank you,” I said, and I immediately walked away. I knew she had something else to say, but I wasn't ready to hear it.The rest of the night had me tossing and turning. Sleep had suddenly become an alien word to me. I had gone to the gym immediately. You know to release. These emotions were swarming in my head, and I didn’t know what to do
Maria’s POV“Natalia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I shrieked once more for the maid. My fury has not abated since the mating ceremony. I was tired of seeing werewolves gallivant the pack with their mates. This is the worst since Jake began to misbehave. He was always coming back home late, but this time he stayed weeks away from home. I was worried sick.“No!” I shook my head as I got up from bed. I was still Luna of the Viola Pack, and nobody would take my place. I have heard rumors that Jake was seeing a werewolf in another pack. I couldn’t fathom the reality that Jake could one day make her his mate.I looked over at his own side of the bed, and my heart sank. He's not been in it for days.Growing up, as I watched the Luna, I badly wanted to be one. I tried being friends with the Alpha’s son. He was starting to love me, but suddenly he died. It was said that Jake would be next in line. Jake was Nora’s. I couldn't watch her be Luna. No way.I had daydreamed about being the Alpha’s mate, boast
Nora’s POV“You are so lovely,” Jake whispered after he had kissed me. He had wanted to kiss my lips, but I moved because it was on my cheeks. As much as I didn’t want to be kissed, I really have to agree. I still liked Jake. I don’t understand what or how my body was reacting after the kiss. My head felt light, and I blushed bright red."No, don’t hide your face; I really admire you.” He said. I smiled. It took me a while to raise my head, and when I did, I could immediately see the Jake I had fallen madly in love with. He smiled at me. Same old smile. I was beginning to memorize his smile in my head until he did that with Maria. At the thought of her, I snapped and looked away. Jake noticed my withdrawal but didn’t know what to say. And so we sat in silence watching the moon until he finally spoke up.“Can we have dinner?” He stared at my face. He was gauging my reaction.I chuckled. "Stop watching me. Yes, I will have dinner with you,” and so we left.Our dinner was a dance of nerv
Chapter 38Nora’s POV“Mommy mommy!” Dylan busted into my room like a broken dam. Immediately, I sat up in bed. He climbed up the bed.“Hi handsome,” I grinned. His little hands enveloped me in what I think was a bear hug. He wrapped his hands around my neck as he squeezed tighter. I chuckled."Mummy, where have you been? I have been waiting for you, “he said, looking into my eyes. There was a knock on the door.“Come on in!” I yelled. The door opened widely, and I could see Anna, the maid.“Good morning, Mrs.” she clasped her hands over her mouth. “I mean, Miss Nora." I laughed.“Good morning, Anna. I hope you slept well." She nodded, smiling.“Come on, let’s go fry some pancakes.” Dylan shook me by the shoulders."Okay, okay, we will, sweetheart.” I laughed. I looked around. I hadn’t taken a shower or brushed my teeth."Now, sweetheart, will you follow Miss Anna here to the kitchen? I will be right down, okay?” He nodded and jumped off.“Miss Anna, you look beautiful today,” Dylan s
Maria's POVI didn’t see anyone at my door for the next two to three days. It was just the maids bringing me my food. As if Jake wanted to torture me, it was my personal maid, Natalia, who brought my food for me.“Drop the food there!” I barked. She did, and just as she left, I could see a small smirk on her face.“What was that face for?” I glared at her."Nothing, your highness,” she said.“I thought as much,” I said. "Get out,” I spat.So for the rest of the evening, I sat watching the sun set.That night, as I was about to go to sleep, I heard a knock at the door. I turned immediately.“Jake?” I smiled as I put my arms around him. He was back for me. I knew he would.“Take off your clothes,” he ordered. I began to scramble out of them. I stared into his eyes, but they were as cold as ice. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. But half a loaf was better than none. I was content if this was the way he wanted me. So long as he was in my arms. He touched my breasts and licked his lips
