, 263–Getting Kicked Out , Nora: , “I have come to realize that Ryker is not someone I would feel safe around until he is fully checked and under control,” I muttered, feigning concern. , “Nora! He showed his wolf for you, and you’re saying-” Nash clenched his jaw, but Lord Atwood silenced him with a hand gesture. , “Let her finish.” , “I think until he calms down, I will stay at the apartment,” I murmured. I knew the soothing therapy would take a week. I can survive in the apartment for that time. , “Okay! You should go and stay there,” Lord Atwood didn’t ask me any more questions. I wanted this conversation to end quickly, but it passed so rapidly that I began to wonder if this was what Lord Atwood wanted all along. , He wanted me gone. But Nash looked so hurt by my words. As I was walking back upstairs, I gestured to Daphne to play her part. She nodded and then hurried downstairs. , “Good news, we have recovered the deleted footage-” I heard some cheers from downstairs while I went to my room to pack for the week. When I return after this week, I will fix everything. , “Are you sure, Nora? I mean-” Brody asked as he sat on the bed, watching me collect my clothes and shove them into a bag. , Ivey mywo wally, and my can ached оm the pain I saw on Lord , ана шу аспец пот Atwood’s face. , “I know what I’m doing. I have to stay away for a week, and Lord Atwood seemed so pleased with the idea,” I couldn’t even finish my sentence. , “But why did you say all those things to him? You hurt his feelings. when you spoke about his son like that,” Brody watched my face intently. I noticed tears in his eyes whenever I broke down. , “I had to. They’ve been saying whatever was on their minds. Couldn’t I speak up just once? All they expected from me was constant praise,” I mumbled, feeling like I was dying inside. , “Relax! Calm down. We’ll go to my place and stay there for the whole week. Then you can come back when things have settled down a bit,” he got up to help me with the packing. , , , , “You’re right, that’s the plan. Hopefully, by the time I return, things will be better,” my voice was meek that day. , I couldn’t even lift my gaze from the ground. , That’s when a knock on the door caught our attention, and we turned to see who had arrived. It was Lord Atwood with Yuki behind him. , “Your Highness,” I didn’t even want to show respect to that elder, but I had to since his anger towards me could ruin my life. , “We’ve come to discuss some matters,” Yuki took the lead while Lord Atwood stood beside him with his arms folded over his chest. , “Yes?” I asked. , Lord Atwood didn’t even glance our way. , L you! Tuk asked, though , “I do. I love her desperately,” Brody was always quick to express his feelings for me, unlike my own mates, who had to stay silent because of so many forbidden ties. , “Then why are you taking her to your apartment and not your pack?” The moment he asked that question, I raised my head and watched Lord Atwood, hoping he would look me in the eye. , “Because I’m only dating her. She has a family and school here,” Brody quickly explained, knowing I wasn’t ready to leave my pack just yet. , It was too soon. , My name had been cleared from Mia’s case, so why were they talking about shifting packs again? , “Hmm! But I guess it will be for the best if you take her with you. Your pack has schools, right?” Yuki continued, and this time, I decided to step forward and speak for myself. , “But I want to stay here with my family. I don’t want to go yet. I’m only nineteen and-” I started rambling because I could tell Lord Atwood was siding with this idea, as he hadn’t protested against it so far. , “You will not address me, and neither will we talk. I’m speaking to an alpha, who, unlike you, wouldn’t lie to everyone,” Yuki pointed his finger at me, and I realized I was challenging the wrong person. , So I changed my approach and turned to Lord Atwood, who instantly stepped back just to show me that he was no longer on my side. , “Dad!
