Nora:
Silence and awkwardness lingered. I noticed him staring at me in silence for a few minutes, and just before I could break the quiet, he did.
“How are you? I heard you did amazing there,” he smiled, sitting up straight in his chair to show interest in the conversation.
“I
guess I did. Almost got turned into a weeping guardian,” I joked, and he laughed, but our smiles faded quickly.
“I have missed you.” He didn’t look me in the eye when he uttered those words.
“Thank you.” My response prompted him to raise his head and smile back
at me.
“Your sister must have told you everything,” I pointed out, and he
nodded. “I wanted her to prove herself. Daphne was bullying her, so I tried to lift Clara in front of everyone but I guess Clara took it the wrong way.”
Of course, I wouldn’t expose myself before him. She was still his beloved sister that he hated to see in pain.
“Oh! So that’s how it exactly went. She told me a different story. But hey, thanks for taking care of my sister,” he said, leaning more toward being nice to me than defending his sister. I noticed men
often did that until they had won someone over.
So he was in the stage of trying to win me over, and I would make sure to

linger out as much as I could for my own benefit.
“I wish I could say the same to you.” I grabbed a glass of fresh orange juice and took a sip, pretending not to notice his narrowed eyes.
“Did I make a mistake?” he leaned over the table, trying to catch my
attention.

“I heard Brody has been spending time with my son. He even changed the lock, Rollo. Can you believe I haven’t seen my son ever since I returned? And it’s not like I can fight a mutant and meet him. Brody has made up some new messed–up rules now,” I groaned inwardly, sighing to display sout new messed up miles how desperate I was,
which wasn’t a lie, to be honest. I was desperate.
“What new rules? Why wasn’t I told about them?” Rollo was becoming more and more impatient.

“That he owns my body from now on. He wants to mark me on this full moon and then have sex with me like I’m his personal pleasure toy,” I rolled my eyes. Honestly, even thinking about it made me feel so violated.
He was such a bastard to say it out loud and hold onto it. At first, I thought he only said it to get a reaction out of me or to show me that he could do that too. But later, he stuck to it.
“No!” Rollo almost got up from his seat before he sat down again.
“Please tell me you are not agreeing to it?” he insisted on knowing my answer. I couldn’t believe he was making this about himself. Of course, he was. The way he looked so angry and was demanding I not go through with it was just evidence of that.
“Rollo, I haven’t seen my son since I returned. I even heard that he fired the nanny who was taking care of Roman. She is now hired to take care of Conan. Why? Who is taking care of Roman?” I blurted out, watching him lean back and run his hands through his hair.

The next full moon was in one week. Brody wouldn’t back down this time. The harsher he had turned proved it.
“You want to meet Roman? I will get you to meet him.” Rollo slammed his fist on the table, and that’s when Brody arrived back without Janet. Whatever they argued about must have kept her from returning.
“What is going on? What are you talking about with my mate?” Brody had such a taunting tone when speaking to Rollo.
I could tell how
wasn’t happy about me spending time with Rollo either. But it was all his decision. He was the one who had asked Rollo to go

to thSl
Mains; he was the one who had convinced and
threatened me to go back to the Red Storm pack. And now he was acting all crazy?

“I was asking her if she had held Roman after returning,” Rollo didn’t hesitate to question Brody.
“She will hold him very soon. When the time is right,” Brody avoided making eye contact with Rollo. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“And when is that? I feel like a mother should be able to hold her son after coming back from a mission that you planned for her. Is this how we are going to reward her? I thought you cared about her,” Rollo was coming in hot.
He got Brody to look at him in surprise.

I wasn’t sure if Rollo would help me or get me in trouble with the way he was approaching this conversation.
